"All I remember is that she acts in a couple years time and by then it's too late with monsters and EVO taking total control of different zones. The desperation and death spreads like a plague affecting everyone. All because of corruption."
"I'll help you act early. Goddess Freya". says Arthur. In the future, she becomes a symbol for the people. Hope and Justice are monikers that consistently surround her as she completely overtakes EVOLVED UK setting a precedent for others to follow. I remember the ending of her speech until now. "The shackles of fear are not timeless" "Only you decide when to escape it and when you do you will see the world in a new light".
After that speech was broadcasted, there was a momentous shift in those who were powerless and weak doing something to escape whatever they feared the most. Even she came out and said that Freya gave her the courage to move forward.
Arthur goes to the hotel and sees Sophie. As she lay there, he moves her hair across her face and walks towards the balcony.
WHOOSH
He flows with the breeze.
Inside a high rise corporate meeting room, a hearing is to commence about the missing leaders in congress. A u-shaped table with leaders seated and ready for the hearing awaiting the head's arrival.
"Everything is ready" says the secretary to the head as he stands and grabs his suit jacket from his chair. He walks to the meeting room.
A night cloaked in the scintillating beauty of moonlight, a well lit meeting room filled with anxiety and fear awaits it's judgement. They are stood in silence and can hear each footstep from outside as he approaches.
Trembling hands and dread as they stand behind their seats and see the empty seats of their fellow comrades. A door is opened and he comes in. He doesn't look at them until he takes his seat and sends a deathly glare there way exacerbating their fears.
"Sit" he says as they all sit down on their chairs. His secretary who is also his right hand man stands at the side and he says "Update".
"Wild jack was hunting down an informant that day before he was cut down".
"A leader was sent that day to follow up with whips as well as he called for backup before he died".
"We have no witnesses, but they say loud noises were heard from that alleyway that night".
"The assailant is at least C to B rank".
The secretary finishes his report and an eerie silence fills the room as none of the leaders speak up. "Do any of you have a name or a picture of this scum?" asks the head.
A leader speaks up saying "No we don't sir" confidently as he stood up to say it. Monsters that only show fear to the alpha, but are brave to those they deem prey.
His anger raises and he punches the table breaking a chunk of it by force. "HAVE YOU ALL BEEN DOING NOTHING SINCE THIS GUY KILLED 2 OF MY MEN??" he shouts in rage. No response is given. He sits back down putting his hand on his head and calming himself down saying "At least tell me something..."
"I'd say his Handsome.." "But that's just my opinion." he says as he stands to the left of the head.
"Who are you?" shouts one of the leaders. Arthur points to himself and says "Me?" as he looks around. "Yeah you" he says. "A bad dream" he says in with sinister smile.
"You" "Stay" he says as he wraps darkness on the head covering his hands feet and his mouth. "Now let's play a game" says Arthur as he walks in front and sits on a shadow chair.
As he steps closer one of the leaders stands up and tries to point at Arthur, but his hand is missing and he screams in pain with blood is squirting out.
"Oh" "Yeah" says Arthur as he gets an epiphany. "Let's play Simon says". The other leaders get weary and none of them move.
"The rules are simple" "When i point you, it's your turn and you must obey my command when I say Simon says". "I'm sure you understand the rules now let's being".
Arthur points to the guy on the ground and says "Simon says get up". The leader tries to get up, but just annoys Arthur and halfway through standing, he kills him with a irritated look.
Through all this screaming and anguish, the secretary tries to walk away and the moment he takes a step a black thread slices his foot clean off. The secretary drops to the ground and cries out for help at the head, but all he can do is look at him with his eyes wide open.
"Now then let's get back to the game" he says as he claps his hands to get all the leaders attention back to him.
