Chapter 11 - Truth

Jade was taken to Falrich's lair which was in the outskirts of the city. It looked like an abandoned part of the region and it was filled with scrap metal. He established his base of operations there as the soldiers were also there. It seemed that the mass disappearance of people and the number of soldiers were connected. The revolution was now being oiled in order to run.

Jade was taken to a prison cell by the soldiers and she was put in that cell and tied up as well. Her mind was still filled with confused thoughts due to Falrich's mind games towards Creed. The things he said to Creed boggled her mind about who he really was. She wanted to know the truth. Then she noticed that soldiers were approaching her cell now and they began dragging her somewhere.

"Where are they taking me this time?" She thought to her self as she was being dragged.

"Who are you Creed? I feel like I do not know you anymore..." She thought even more.

"Sister...help me please..." She thought some more.

She was taken to Falrich who was at some platform on top of the ruins of the abandoned city. She was still tied up and Falrich was looking at her, observing her and began thinking about King's former second in command, Slade.

"Leave us." He told the soldiers.

Jade observed him and she thought that he had Creed's same aura, mysterious and cunning.

"You really do look like her. That's common sense because she's your biological sister." Falrich said.

"You know my sister?!" Jade exclaimed. 

"I know her, and so does Creed." Falrich said to her.

"What do you mean??!" Jade asked him more

"Well, I know for a certain fact that Slade was her name right?" Falrich said with a sinister smug face.

"Stop playing games!!" Jade replied angrily

"Or what?! Creed will save you and kill me?!" Falrich said to her as he started laughing in a sinister matter.

"He doesn't kill people... HE BRINGS THEM BACK ALIVE!!" She replied.

"You really do not know him do you? And yet you possess blind affection for him, how ignorant." Falrich said.

"Like you know him!!" Jade said.

"Well I know that he lost his left arm due to mission back in the day when he was still an assassin for the republic. The reason was he saved Slade from a falling boulder. His eye he lost when he fought and KILLED Slade." Falrich said. "That's right, he was the one who killed your precious sister Slade."

Jade was shocked at what she heard. 

"NO THAT"S NOT TRUE!!" Jade exclaimed. 

"Creed is a killer! He has killed many people for the republic! He is an assassin an angel of death! And he was the one who took your sister from you, I should know because we worked side by side as assassins for the Grand Kaiser..." Falrich replied to her.

"IS it sinking in yet?!!" Falrich asked her.

"No...it can't be..." Jade said.

"Now you know everything about him, and if you think about it how could a man fight as extraordinary as that? Creed is not ordinary because he was once one of us!" Falrich added.

"No...." Jade said but now she was doubting Creed about who he is.

Falrich called some soldiers to his side.

"Take her back to her cell, my work here is done." Falrich said as he disappeared from their sights.
