The Tales of Rasco: The Awakening

The mans jaw sat back, open wide in the air as he slumped over the bar. A small trickle of dark crimson ran down his cheek, blood that had long since dried in place. The distant look in his eye added to the effect, if not the long rivet driven straight through his kneck.

Likewise the rest of the bar goers had met almost similar deaths at relatively the same moment. The room was silent, and awash with the strewn boddies of violent deaths, a picture perfect scene of a mass murderers dream. Only two creatures remained moving in the room.

Berasco took a long swig of whisky as he looked at the man to his right, grining sadisticaly. Reaching over, he gently placed his finger under his jaw and thrust it up, closing his mouth and pushing his slumped body off of the bar counter.


"Trying to catch flys are we?"

A small gasp came from across the bar, the bartender, deathly pale as he huged the wall behind him, shivering with frieght as the man before him took drink after drink from behind the counter. His eyes were wide, pupils dilated, his mouth was also wide open, something Berasco would overlook for now

"You know I wasnt always this way..."

He eyed the room conspicously. At least thirteen dead, a few women, one child, a small girl.

"I actually used to be quite an innocent young lad. Why I remember I used to play in the feilds..."

46 Years Ago - Leria Kerlsil

"RASCO!"

He lay back on the long wavy grass, half awake and half dreaming as he watched the clouds overhead. He had been in the feilds for hours now, nature was lovely at times to just watch.

"RASCO, HEY RASCO!"

He felt something near by, he couldnt yet hear the taller boy runing towards him, but he could 'sense' his approach. He couldnt tell how, as far as he could remember he always could tell when people were nearby or approaching him. He never found it really useful, as by the time he felt them nearby they were almost on top of him, maybe someday...

"RASCO YOU IDIOT! WAKE UP! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME!"

half leaping to his feet Berasco fell right into Amonatep, bringing him down to his back as they both toppled over into the ground. he laughed half heartedly as he regained consciousness, pushing Amonatep down by the shoulders before standing himself

"What do ya want Amon? I was sleeping!"

Grabing for Berasco's hand he pulled himself up, wiping a mound of dirt off his knee before shoving Rasco back a few feet, a devilish smile on his lips

"Why do I always need something when I bug you Rasc?"

"Becuase you always do, whats up?"

Amon turned to face the feilds, glancing over the line of trees in the horizon he turned back to Rasco rasing his arms wide

"Life is grand Rasco! Why do you insist on wasting it out here! Me and a few of the gang are going out to a few of the nightspots tonight. Come back to the city with us, have some fun!"

He grumbled under his breath, they were always getting him into trouble this way. He would go into the city with them, hang out, then spend the rest of the evening trying to figure out a way from the mess he had just got into.

"Look Amon, I'll think about it ok. No promises..."

"Thanks Rasco, Ill see ya there!"

"HEY! I SAID I'll THIN...."

[i]But it was too late Amon had already run off into the distance.

"Heh, it wasnt till later that night I had realized what trouble I had in store for me..."

Leria City - Later that night

The hover cars sirens wailed as its auto-security sensors detected the plexisteel window on its side had been smashed, and at that very moment strange 'non-owners' were attempting to get inside. As Amon struggled to clear the drivers seat of sharp glass type objects Berasco nervously looked back and forth down the street.

"Are you sure this is your brothers car?"

Amon sighed before leaning out the driver side window, or where the window would have been had he not broken it.

"Not as sure as I was a minute ago, but look, it doesnt really matter anymore does it? Just hop in and lets fly!"

Looking down at the smashed vehicle he could only wonder why no local authority hadnt already placed them both under arrest by now

"But the..."

With a few expert taps and a little showmanship Amon looked up at Rasco as the passenger side door opened up and the alarm stoped going off. Amon held his hands in the air off to his sides as he grined malisciously back at Rasco

"Ya gonna get in or what?"

Rasco slid over the hood, leaping into the side door of the vehicle. Before he was fully in Amon seemingly slamed on the accelorator as Rasco fully felt the forward lift, gripping on the doors frame as he held himself just barely above the ground. A rush of adrenaline surged through his veins as he felt his fingers resemble iron grips, refusing to let go of the cars frame. As he leaned out of the door he felt the blast of air hit him as Amon lifted the car airward. Raising a fist defiantly he cried out into the wind before a sudden hand on his side brought him back to reality. It was Amon, trying to draw him back into the vehicle, which he more than gladly accomplished as we sat back in the passenger seat and slamed the door shut.

"Sorry about taking off so early man, but the authorities were just on our heels. How the hell did you hang on at those speeds?"

He looked down at his bare white knuckles, un-sure of how to respond

"Well, anyways, I guess you can tell this really isnt my b"

[i]The sudden impact of something against the side of the car, the shower of electrical sparks and the slightest glimpse of Amons head keeling back at an odd angle were the last things he remembered before impacting back into the ground.
