Shiek Akbar-Steven my friend. And I have spent the last few days thinking about this "deal"... And the gods only know how big a Fallen fan I am.. both through good times and bad...
The old man slowly turns to face Shiek.
Fallen- And what have you decided my young friend?
Shiek Akbar- I have decided I want it all! I want to be champion. I want to show the world a true champion Fallen. I want to give them a true hero and warrior Fallen!!!
Fallen remembers back to the day he was in this young man's shoes.. with a different offer.. and the changes it forever made in him when he decided to take up the 'Fallen' mantle...
The man sitting st the table keeps wringing his red tape wrapped hands as if he can still see the blood on them. The other man looks at him with a twisted and evil smile.
past Fallen- Ahhh never you fear, your brothers fate was already sealed long before you entered our agreement my friend. And keep in mind the reason your doing this. Your brother was always going to be who he has become. But you... with what you have done.. your legend will make you famous.. infamy is still famous!! Right? The old man thought to himself, and freedom for myself at last!! All you gotta do is pick it up.. put it on.. and say your name kid!! Take the deal, what you make and do with it is totally up to you. He slowly pulls out the box and lays it on the table.
Just remember kid.. If you take this all the power, the fame, the money goes with it.. but so to does all the evils, the pain, the loss goes too. Once you take this... you ain't yous no more... till the day yous die or yous pass it on.. The kid reaches out slowly hesitantly hand shaking.. DONT take this lightly Kid!!! This is no joke and there's no way outta this deal! Do yous GET that? You knows what you did to get here...WE know what yous did to get here..BUT understand taking this deal you do that and worse before yous through I can GUARANTEE that... so I asks agin... Do YOUS still want this? The old man takes his big paw off the box. And taking a deep drag off his stogie he blows interlocking smoke rings. Wells kid DO YA? The kids hand stops shaking. The fear n hesitation are gone. He looks up a new found look upon his face. Rage. Determination. A fire that can't be contained or extinguished. A deep dark pitch enters his voice making the old man's blood run cold.
young man- Yes old timer! I have thought it through. Yes old timer I do make this pact and take this life as mine... The young man stands and takes the box. From within he pulls out a familiar mask looking newer the we remember. In the background the old man is heard saying Old Fallen- Then don your new face! Speak your new name! Take your place upon the histories of time! And sign your name unto the Book of The Fallen!! Sign and join your new family and kin. Sign and become one of the Fallen!!! The young man blows out his breath and inhales as he dons the mask. Now tell us your name brother! That we may all rejoice and may welcome you!!! The man looks up from the ground with a fire and drive and desire to be the best. A fire like never seen before. And in that deep ruff rumble he speaks.. My Name Is STEVEN FALLEN ANGELOUS!...
Shiek Akbar- I want all that and more my friend!!! All that and more!!!
Fallen- And I want one last run... so it agreed then?? We take the deals and consequences be danmed!!
Fallen smiles as he leans back and gazes out the window once more. Speaking quietly to himself he whispers...
Fallen- One more run before I pass it forward. And that run begins with Hans.
TO BE CONTINUED...
