I am Sam.
As I have been carrying the weight of my responsibility, My routine got an abrupt change. I never got to do my regular tasks on a daily basis accordingly due to the intervention of any sort of incident or danger which I am responsible for handling...
I am a Vigilante!
Looking back, Saintmeadow was quite the pleasent city with its relaxing natural features. The city itself has the path of the forest at the end of its border. The forest was only filled with different varieties of birds, squirrels and butterflies. It was quite the mesmerizing one close to our city. Also, I was just a homeless kid , concealing myself in the alley so that no one would notice me. I hated people. However, Everything changed in an instant since I met that person. She had a little bit of sympathy for me. Once she found me in such a poor condition I was in, She patted and cuddled me to show that I am loved. Then I was adopted.
From that day, She nourished me like how a mother does unconditionally. It was that time my existence was valued.
During those ecstatic moments, I was introduced to people I met. They were quite friendly toward me. But I was just a quiet kid who loves to enjoy his own company.
However.....
The world turned upside down when the new terrorist association was built.
TORRIDS.....
They started to extend their urban guerrillas in few cities such as Saintmeadow, Oaktown, Luketown, Funton and Gorgeville. Some of our civilians were killed in the way. Yet law enforcers never even came to save us. The police officers in our city weren't that powerful to fight against those monsters. We had to hide in the woods to not be noticed. Some of our people were killed, Including someone who was very close to me....that woman.
She was on her way to run toward the forest until she realised that I was left behind.
I never wanted to be with anyone. I never wanted this life. When everything was going in the way I wanted to, I never expected this. It felt like fate wanted to throw the blame at me for all of this. So as I got the chance to die in their hands, I accepted it. I turned back and walked away.
She ran back and came toward me to say "Where are you going?! Come back!"
"but why?"
"because you have a lot to accomplish." she said.
"leave me alone" I said while walking away.
Then she grabbed my hand.
"I said Leave me alone!"
"What's wrong with you? You've always been all alone this whole time. Never talked with any kids and always been on your own. Now this time everyone found a hideout for themselves, you want to kick the bucket?! Is that how you wanted this to be?!"
"Yes, that's how it is. After all it wouldn't even affect the people if I died. So just go."
Then she hugged me and said with a smile "No. I can't leave. I have a responsibility to look for. I chose to raise you. Hence, I am responsible for ensuring your safety till the end. That's what a parent does for their child. If you don't leave, then I'll stay here."
"But-"
A sudden drop of grenade came at us. She shoved me before it got blasted. Once the smoke was clear, she was on her last breath. I came toward her in tears and she smiled at me with her last words "You weren't always a liability to me, but a responsibility that I was obliged to fullfill. I loved you, My child. Go and find your happiness."
"NOOO!!" I screamed and cried.
Before the group of terrorists were coming down to me, I was suddenly grabbed by a man. He rescued me out of nowhere. Subsequently, I was taken to the forest where everyone was there. Once he put me down there, I recognised his face. It was my mother's relative. He looked at me, smiled with relief and said "I am glad you're safe."
Years passed by, The Terrorists had a hold in those cities. Their association is controlled by the bunch of mysterious criminals with the objective of initiating Violence and Massacre within the Wellkings.
Additionally, Wellkings is a country situated at the northern Europe. The cities like Saintmeadow, Oaktown, Luketown, Funton and Gorgeville are all located in this country. The capital city is Mosberg, governed by the Regime, Greek Dawins. There were total 9 states in this country. Four of them were abandoned and the remaining five were controlled by the government.
The reason behind the abandonment of these four cities called Saintmeadow, Oaktown, Luketown, Funton and Gorgeville was quite political. The people in such cities never wanted to be ruled by the regime. They wanted an egalitarian society run by people only. The regime tried to fight back and the situation got worse. As a result, those cities were abandoned officially. We were self-governed.
It's still unfair. Atleast, We got to know their true colours. As we chose to live in our ways, it wouldn't kill to bring assistance here. Yet they didn't do it. This shows how greedy and power-hungry these men are.
Few years later, There was a rumour about the building of Vigilante association in the eastern coast, holding their ground. The association is built to train future Vigilantes to improve their physique and teach regarding supernatural powers that they can acquire. Such sort of supernatural powers which the authorities and those mysterious criminals possessed.
Hence, I applied for the organisation and finished my basic training to build the physique and gained knowledge about such powers. So that I could practice and gain mastery in such skills in order to know what sort of main element that I would have as a skill.
