Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End...


Chapter 1-Prologue: Beginning of the End

Isaac gasped and shot up straight. Panting, he looked around, frantically. His weapon wasn't there, he was defenseless.

He tried to stand up, but he found out the hard way that his legs wouldn't work. Groaning in pain, Isaac fell back down to the ground.

"You arn't gonna be going anywhere anytime soon." Called a male voice.

Isaac looked behind him and saw a middle aged man sitting in a chair behind him, "You took some serious damage. If I wasn't around when you collapsed, you'd have been dead by now."

Isaac shook the fog from his head and asked, "Who are you?"

The man smiled, "The names Sean. Sean Davis. You couldn't have picked a better time to collapse, kid. We came and fought off those guys who were mugging you."

"Mugging me?" Isaac asked. Suddenly, he remembered. A group of men were trying to rob him because he had food. And they wanted it. He remembered getting knocked in the head.

"You're pretty good with a blade," Sean remarked, "I haven't seen kids your age fight off men with such strength. What's your name?"

"Me? I'm Isaac." he answered.

"Isaac..." Sean asked.

"I... threw out my last name," Isaac said, "I didn't want to... you know. Show the world just who I was."

"Ah. Good upbringing?" Sean asked. When Isaac refused to answer, Sean waved a hand in apology, "Sorry. Shouldn't have probed. But don't worry. You're among friends."

"Friends?" Isaac asked, "Where are we?"

"This is the White Wolves," Sean said, "I'm the captain of this team, Captain Davis, if you please."

Isaac nodded, "Thank you... Captain Davis. But I really need to be going."

"I don't think so," Captain Davis said, "Three reasons. One, you're still injured. Two, what if you find more people like that? You'll die quickly. And three: you have no weapon."

Isaac grunted, "Where is it?" he asked.

Captain Davis shrugged, "The bandits took it."

"Damn..." isaac cursed.

"That was important?" Captain Davis asked.

"Very much so." Isaac answered, "Well, if you insist, I'll stay."

"I do insist." Davis said, "Welcome to the White Wolves."

White Wolves... that name sounds so familiar... Oh well, "Thank you, Captain Davis."

"No problem." he responded.
