Advertisement
[9:00 A.M.,April 6,2031 in United of Armed and Forces Main Prison]
It's been two days since that meeting.And right now,I'm just lying on the bed,starring at the ceiling.
If you are quite curious about what happen at the meeting,then it will be just like this:
"Two months?"
Asked by Chief Head,puzzled.He couldn't comprehend what I mean with that.
"Sorry for my rudeness,but it was something that I can talk to Mr.George.If it is okay to you,I like to talk to him privately after this meeting."
The other 'leaders' inside the room got suspicious and some give me a serious look when I said that words.I couldn't help since I will talk it to George,one of the leaders,privately.
"If that is what Mr.Holiday wants,then I will allow it.But after you talk it about,I want you,George,to report to me what is his condition.If it is something that we can't do,then it your condition will be void.And you will be still continue to be execute later."
So that's how it ended.And as of now,I'm just waiting to George to visit me to talk about my condition.Don't worry,you will know it later.It will SURPRISE you.
Just at the middle of my deep thoughts.The door opened,and the Goerge has come to visit me.
I stood up in the bed to greet him.
"Yo,the most idiot leader among the organization.How's your day today?"
"Please don't call me with that.I'm not an idiot.I'm just doing what I think is right to do."
Doing the right thing to do huh?Letting a murderer to be 'temporarily' free to join a mission about protecting people is not something a normal person will do.
"So,what is your condition?"
Right.The reason he come to visit is talk about that.

"Since you said I will become the 14th leader,then I will have subordinates like you right?"
"Yeah.About that,I will be the one who will provide you with subordinates.I will chose the best 'soldiers'
in my branch then I will lend then to you."
"Did you really trust me huh?"
"Yes,I know that you will not kill again after that TRAGIC INCIDENT.If you break that promise,you already killed me a long time ago."
He's right.If not for that 'promise'.I think I already killed every person here in this basement.And I might also already killed a long time ago.
"You don't need to lend me your 'soldiers' anymore,George."
"What?"
"Because I want to build my OWN team."
That's right.This is something I have beeen thinking since I remember that particular 'scene' 4 years ago.
"Okay,is that all?Is that only your condition?"
"No.How about it?What if I tell you that I want to form a team consisting only of GIRLS?."
"Whaaaaaaaat?"
What you heard is right.'Master' once told that I can go and build what she called a 'harem' after the disbanding of that group.At first,I just ignored it but when I remember it right now,I thinking that Master's idea is not really bad.
"Hear me first,George.You see,that 'woman' once told me to form a team with a group of girls and live a normal life.Actually,I'm about the forget it but I just remember recently."
"But,Holiday,let's say I'm agreed to it.But Head Chief will not allow it.He will think that you are just making fun to your condition."
"About that,If possible,I want to talk to him directly."
Right now,I have NEW GOAL but I'm not saying I'm scared to be executed.
Before I executed,I want to experience this 'normal life's that Master told me.I want to experience this 'harem-be like' team.It is not an order from her,but a suggestion.

George think about for a couple of minutes abd finally spoke up.
"Okay,Holiday.I will talk about it with the Head Chief.I will persuade him with your condition."
"Well,that's good to hear,sorry for my selfish request."
"No,I'm the one who needs to apologize.I'm also drag you to my own stupidity."
For some reason,I quite relieved when I learb that he is aware to his own stupidness.
"Is that the reason why you asked for two months?."
"Yeah,because in those two months,I will search for someone who can join me to form a team."
"Are you sure you will be able to acquire someone to join you?Remember,it will be a mission where your life is at stake."
"George,let me share you something.In a team,you need different talents.Of course,someoe who can fight with bare hands,or someone can shoot a gun or use a knife is already given.But that is the only the case with your group,George.Also with the other 'leaders'."
If you want to build a strong team,it must be versatile.I mean,an all-around team.
"But in my case,I will acquire other talents.Right now,I'm thinking to acquire a hacker,a detective,someone who can disabled bombs and may others."
"...."
Goerge stay silent for couple of moments and after that,he spoke up:
"Is that what it looks like in your 'former' group?"
"No.not really.All of us are just professional killers.What I said right now is just my own idea."
"You really know how to handle these situations,Holiday.That's why I didn't regret to acquire you in this mission."
"But yeah,you are also right.It is hard to acquire someone without any benefit from it.That's why I want you also to lend me a huge amount of money.Not for me,but to the those I will acquire."
"So you will persuade to join you in exchange of money."
"And protection."
"....."
Od course,aside from money,I will also protect them. And I will not let them to killed someone.Never.
"Your time to visit the prisoner is already ended,Mr.Holiday.Please leave immediately."
The one is guarding the door said that.Ahhh.I actually forgot that there is a time limit in visiting me.
"Okay,Holiday.For now just relax.I will report it to the Head Chief to see if he will approve it."
"Yeah.By the way,where is your subordi-"
BAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNG
A loud explosion occur.Not in this priso,but I think in the basement.
"What is that!!!!?"
George panically reacted.Unable to tell what exactly happened.
A loud sound of siren and an annoucement happen.
"Everyone,please prepare for possible fight.An intruder happen to sneek in the base.Again.Everyone,please prepare for possible fight.An intruder happen to sneek in the base."
"Holiday,just stay here.I will check the basement to see who is the intruder."
"You will not free me here?.I thought you trust me."
"I trust you.But rules is still rules.For now just don't escape here.But at the same time,don't let yourself killed."
"Yeah.Don't worry.I will not be killed by someone.After,I will still be executed."
After that,George immediately leave the prison to check what is happening at the basement.
I have a bad feeling about this.
I remember what I said to George 4 days ago.
"Maybe their real target is this place.I mean this basement."
Could this be what they called 'foreshadowing'?.

Occultus Draconem
In an ancient time of Kings and Queens, the Humans lived in harmony with the great beings that roamed the Earth. No kingdom was more peaceful than Cadmus, where the Cadmians existed beside the greatest creatures of all, the Dragons. The ruler of Cadmus, King Anguis, although very young, was much beloved. He never turned a deaf ear to the Humans or Dragons of Cadmus, and the kingdom flourished. Under the protection of the Dragons and their Empress, Queen Maeve, paired with Anguis' extraordinary ability to keep peace, the lands prospered and grew tenfold within a few short years. Cadmus and Draconia became the greatest kingdoms known to exist. But it was not meant to last. King Anguis, barely into adulthood, was murdered in the night. His death rocked Cadmus to its core, and the Cadmians mourned with the Draconians, grieving for their beloved King. As Prince Agni, Anguis' younger brother, assumed the throne, he declared war on the Dragons, announcing that the kingdom would be Cleansed. He enlisted a brutal army of elite hunter-assassins known as the Enforcers to carry out the Cleansing, and the kingdom was consumed by a shadow of tyranny. Cadmus became a war zone, and the land of Draconia was devastated. A group of survivors of the Cleansing, Dragons disguised in Human form, created a secret society known as the Occultus Draconem. As King Agni's power grew and the Enforcers became more brutal than ever, a rebellion stirred. The Occultus Draconem began stepping in to stop the Cleansings, fighting back for the freedom of the Dragons and swearing to bring peace back to Draconia and Cadmus. But how can they succeed without the heir to the Draconian throne?

Teddy Bear
As it would stand, the truth of the matter was that aliens had visited Earth before. Roswell was neither a hoax nor unique. It was simply a consequence of a world growing smaller as communication systems became more and more advanced, partly a result of said visitations. For the most part, past interactions between one of the planet Earth's more intelligent species of lifeform and the alien visitors were along the lines of obscure scientific surveys and tests disturbingly similar to attempts by some human scientists to estimate the intelligence of simians.For any species capable of travelling the stars. Visiting planet Earth made about as much sense as backpacking through the Ural Mountains of Siberia with nothing but a flint and a compass. That is to say, most people would prefer to stay close to someplace within walking distance of a mall or a population density slightly higher than four sapient beings per parsec. Still, statistically speaking, there are bound to be some weirdos who find joy rides though a nowhere solar system fun. Just buzzing a frantic farmer or two and playing chicken with an F-16 for the heck of it. Maybe even bring home a bovine to show off to the guys at the office.
