In 2013, Rowan was living with Carl Bright and his family, early in the morning. Rowan was noticing some tension between Carl and his clan The Aldeirs.
"Thats one more child to feed"! Cassy said, "You make us suffer when you put others first over your own clan"! Rudy said. Then a man named Jaakobah seather Carl's best friend at the time, whispered into his ear, giving Carl Counsel. "We have taken in too many people, that we can't take care of our original clan members, let's bring an abrupt hold on taking people in, and focus on our clan members". Jaakobah said. Carl looked at Jaakobah and nodded. "Alright we will stop bringing in these people, but we won't kick them out, we will fix our clan from the inside out". Carl said to the people. "How will that help us? We need to kick out the weak"! A woman said. "We will do no such thing"! Carl said. The crowd started yelling at Carl, "Order"! Carl yelled.
When the people calmed down, Carl spoke, "Look, i see you people are hurting, but we live in a world where the weak can't survive, we must make them strong and assimilate them into our clan, but first I will deal with whatever problems you guys have". Carl explained, "Now go, I will visit each and everyone of you personally". Carl went back into his hut and Rowan secretly followed behind, where Jaakobah comes to talk to him. He sits down next to Carl, as Carl was planting his face in his palms. "What did i do wrong"? Carl said in a muffled voice. "I think they are just wallowing, they don't understand you, and they don't understand your sacrifice," Jaakobah said in a calm voice, "You only need to do so much for them". Carl quickly stopped Jaakobah from speaking, "I made a promise to my wife that i will take care of who ever i am able to, i will go and speak to all these people personally, and i will fix this clan". Carl said firmly. "When your wife died, i tried my best to protect her, but she is gone now, you don't need to honor tha-", Carl stood up and threw a hard left hook at Jaakobah, knocking him to the ground and leaving a massive bruise on his cheek. on the ground, he secretly smiled, and noticed Rowan quickly step away from the Cracked door. "You have gone too far"! Carl yelled, "how dare you say that to me"! "I know you dont like to hear it, but in a world full of corruption, we can only follow behind the world, or die going against it". Jaakobah stood up and walked away. Carl, still thinking about his responsibilities, goes out to talk to the first person.
After Jaakobah left Carl's hut after getting punched, Rowan followed Jaakobah, out of curiosity. When he dumbs a strange bottle of yellow liquid into the well in the middle of the Nomad village. Seeing this, Rowan wanted more evidence, so he followed him all day. In the middle of the night after seeing nothing else, he finally sees him secretly go in an house at the edge of the village, where Jaakobah was speaking to almost all of the members of the clan. "He did this to me when confronting him about his actions"! He proclaimed as he pointed at the bruise on his face. "You want a leader that will get violent if confronted"!
"No!" the crowd yelled. "I told him to fix the problems directly and he says im going too far"!? After Jaakobah said that, Rowan got angry, "He did not say that"! He yelled as he burst through the door. Everyone turned around, and the moment they saw him, they got angry. And surrounded him, and beat him. All of them scream non sensibly, "we arent ready to take care of you"! A woman said. "We don't need the weak"! A man said. And they beat him until Jaakobah stopped them. "Back up! Back up!" Jaakobah picked up Rowan, "I think its time to drive out carl and his family" Jaakobah said calmly. The people erupted, "Yeah"!
Jaakobah, still holding Rowan. Leading the march to Carls House near the well, closer to the other side of the village. As they yell at Carl's house, Carl stepped out side, in uniform. "Calm down Calm Down"! Carl yelled. They didnt calm down, instead they stormed the house, grabbed Saul and Carl, and threw him outside the walls of the village. Rowan, came back to consciousness, he sees Saul on his knees, crying while Carl embraces him with a hug. He blinked once, Carl went to pick him up, he blinked again, and Lilith was screaming in his face. She had a silver mask, with a metal plate on her face with 8 red eyes. "I have concealed the tenth circle from the ancestors' eyes"! She yelled,"You're the final piece! The sacrifice of the flesh against God"! Chris, who was holding her back, turned on his electric gorilla arm emulator and shocked her to back off, giving him a chance to counter, as she was dismayed, he threw a left hook, upper cut, and a round house kick, and knocked her to the ground. As he was about to finish her off, a cyberpsycho, his eyes distorted like a cyberpsychos. "Hehehe, its too late for you, you're delaying the inevitable". Lilith said. He stumbled backwards, his eyes flickering blue, distorting, getting closer to the edge. Lilith took the chance to jump on Chris, and as she was about to plunge her blades into him, his life flashes.
