Henry rushed through the forest following the bullet Michael shot. The slender pink rapier glowed in the darkness, illuminating his surroundings.
The weapon felt strange. Henry couldn't explain it, but the rapier felt alive and restless. There was a lot he didn't understand; he just hoped the weapon's consciousness wouldn't cause issues in the upcoming fight.
His steps stayed firm, but deep down, he felt terrified. The best instructors taught him how to fight, but he never participated in combat.
The thought made him excited and fearful. However, his confidence and pride shut off any second guess attempts.
He had decided on Evolution years ago, and now with Vicky as his girlfriend, he didn't want to stay behind in power. He wanted to be her equal, so they could help each other throughout their lives together.
A smile grew on his lips as he imagined standing beside Vicky as a powerful Evolved. The picture calmed his nerves and steeled his will.
