Halcyon days
Chapter one


I feel like a completely different person when that mask befalls my face. In the brief second that my sight is disrupted I feel a powerful force grip my neck, chocking all the precious air out of me. Once I open my eyes I feel renewed. My heart slows down. Also my lungs inflate with air. Now my breathes are long and refreshing. All the fear I previously had has subdued. I feel as if I hide my former self and let out someone who’s completely run on instinct.

The only reason I even considered putting it on was because these three pompous buffoons are trying to kill me. The one in the middle has his gun drawn at me. By the way they act and look, I can guess they are serious about their threat.

I can see his finger shake with anticipation. I can tell the second before he will fire, this is one of the gift this mask gives me. The wind picks up again. I love it when the wind graces my cheek with a soft kiss. I hate it how the mask blocks most of that sweet wind.

His finger presses on the trigger and I tilt my head with ease. I can see the fire egress from the barrel like a powerful firecracker. Time seems to slow down as the bullet zips past my face. I hear the swift wisp of the round that spirals into the wall behind me. The man fires another shot and I jump to my right to avoid. Now I am more than halfway to him, he wont get another shot on me.

I land a strong kick to the man’s side. I can hear the crackle of the man’s ribs and I can see blood seep from the man’s mouth. His body sways in the direction I my leg hit him in. His body sways into a C shape before his body hit’s the rugged, solid concrete.

The other two’s mouths open with astonishment. In less than a couple seconds I downed one of their own. This testament of power will, I hope, convince the other two to drop their guns.

My eyes focus on one of the remaining men. He is terrified of the look in my eyes. I don’t blame him, I scare myself more than he would ever know.
