The Magic of a Lost Deity

Recommend

"Argh!" I yell, screaming as the guard passes my cell. "I want out! Let me out!" The hair bristles on my arm as I growl, "Let me out."

The guard moves on, it's his job not to associate with us.

"Shut up, Zateal! No one gets out, never." Another inmate shouts.

"My friend, how do they expect us to stay put. We all have powers beyond our wildest imaginations. I, I can call upon fire from the sky. There are others I hear, with stronger powers than I."

"If you can call fire from the sky, then make it rain upon this prison."

"Friend, let me tell you: if I could, I would have by now."

Then, the guard from before cautiously walks past, toward the main gate.

The other inmate groans, "I just wish I had never gone on this arc. What a fool I was to listen."

Then, the guard walks into my field of vision again, holding a piece of paper. I look at him and stare into his eyes. What did he want? What's with the early patrol?

"Zateal?"

"No, I'm the Queen of England."

"Funny," he seemed unfazed, "I am here to tell you of a special opportunity."

I walk towards the bars of my cell, closer to him. "What kind of special opportunity."

"Freedom."

His single word crushed my mind, my world seemed to open up and become larger, greater and more merciful.

"Freedom?" I repeated back at him.

"Yes, freedom."

I shook my head, this couldn't be. "At what cost?"

"You must find and kill this man." He hands me the paper, I read over the lines of black ink then I look back up to the guard.

"Norman Baker?"

The guard nods, "Do you accept?"

"Yes." Any price for freedom is not too much.

"Then come this way."

The guard led me to the main office, I spoke with many men and women. All spoke to me of the necessity of the death of Normal Baker. That he was the only thing between me and freedom. One of the women handed me my old clothes, the ones I wore before I got here, before I was dressed in this orange jail suit. I put them on in a separate room, and was about to leave. But before I did, a man with a scar over his left eye put a tracking device on me.

"This will come off when you kill Norman."

I nodded, then he opened the door and I was free.
