It had been about a year since Phinx was placed into a dark, cold cell and unfortunately he had lost all hope of freedom.The thought of happiness and joy had seem to be a fairy tale to Phinx. The once hopeful and ambitious young man had now become a pile of mess on the inside.
Everyday was a new let down for him. He had faced many hardships in the prison.His body had been covered with endless bruises both on the inside and out.
He missed his family, his people… but unfortunately he knew he would not see them for a while. But, One day as he was being tortured by the guards, outside of the prison. A man had appeared before them; this had startled the guards and even Phinx who was face flat on the ground in pain. Phinx hoped that someone would pay notice to him for so long and finally someone did…
"Now look who we have here." Said one of the guards
"Nice armour; bit too bright but I like it"
"Say, would you let us take a closer look… hehe"
"Yeah just a look… hehe"
Phinx knowing the guards intentions tried to fight back in order to stop them from attacking the man, but the guards just kicked him to the side as if he were of no issue.
"Run!" Shouted Phinx hoping the man could be saved and not end up in the state he himself was in.
But the man just stood still…
As the guards approached; the mysterious man had finally made his move by unsheathing his sword and cutting down the two guards in just one swift swing.
The man then looked at Phinx who was still in shock of what had occurred.
Phinx in amazement asked
"Just who are you?"
The mysterious man replied
"I'm commander Salem … now follow me!"
Salem then reached his hand out in partnership to Phinx
It had been a long time since the young man had felt hope, peace, and assurance that he was not alone.
Phinx looking at the man had rekindled his flame and had risen from the ashes of what he use to be. He then grabbed the mans hand knowing his life would never be the same.
