《Phantom Year one》An Old Acquaintance
Advertisement
In Lakeside police department, Naa’s office;
Naa was looking over pictures from her most recent crime scene, before going through his files trying to see if she could find anything that would at least give a clue as to was responsible for this. As she continued through the files, she came to a halt noticing something.
Samuel co owned a property which on it’s own would not be anything strange but considering the fact that one if its owners was Ronald walker who died recently and left her with her suspicions alongside a few people who have gone missing and the other owners hiding their identities. Now all this could just be her being paranoid from all the stress but the building in mention was definitely not worth enough for this many people to be invested in it.
With those thoughts in her head Naa stood from her desk and decided to pay said building a visit.
At the Building;
The phantom had arrived at the building, the building was an old abandoned building which had tags all over its walls. As the phantom made his way through the building it strengthened his suspicions about the place.
Treading carefully the phantom made his way to higher floors, the phantom soon arrived at a floor which unlike the others in this building was unusually clean. The phantom made his way to what looked like a conference room with a long table and countless chairs around said table. The phantom moved to touch the table when a voice resounded from behind him.
“I was wondering when you would show up?” The phantom fired a throwing knife as he turned around, but the owner of the voice caught the knife before it could make contact with her. “hahaha you’re still using these, don’t, I was thinking you and I could have a conversation before… you know we do what we have to” the woman continued as she saw the phantom enter a battle stance.

The masked lady tilted her head seeing that the phantom wasn’t charging at her, “I’ll be honest, when he first told me about you. I thought nothing of you.” She proceeded to toy with the knife in her hand, “but then we met that night, and I couldn’t believe my eyes” Phantom just continued to stare at the woman before him, remembering that uneasy feeling of familiarity when they last fought.
“You know for years I actually thought you were dead, but I should have known all this while. It will take a lot more to kill you… isn’t that right Hank” Hank’s eyes widened behind the mask as the woman before him mentioned his name, confirming that the feeling he had felt wasn’t just his mind that the woman before him was truly someone he knew.
“who the-“ “or would you prefer Justin” the woman cut him off in a patronizing tone, with the name Justin, at the mention of his name Hank fell back into memory.
Flashback
A younger hank was in tatters and completely dehydrated as he alongside a group of other children were led into a mountain. The inside of the mountain revealed a secret pace, two men in all black combat suits stood guard.
“Welcome to the house of Thanatos” the man who led the people spoke up before leading them to a clearing in which other people were huddled together, “get to know one another for if you survive, you will spend the rest of your lives together” with those words said Hank’s group was added to the other people.
Hank who had now taken a seat among the rest was approached by a lady “hey my name is Jessica, what about you?” Hank took a long hard at Jessica before taking her hand, “I’m Justin”

Flashback end
“Jessica?!” Phantom exclaimed shocked as he finally realized who it was stood before, “and reunion is over” *bang* a gunshot was heard. “you were always sentimental” Jessica’s voice was resounded as Hank held his abdomen as he bled from the gunshot wound.
Looking up Hank saw Jessica aiming the gun at him and rolled away just in time to avoid the rain of gunfire. Hank tried to fight back as he made this way out of the building, “Hank you are not getting away from me this time” Jessica exclaimed as she pulled out her sword and attempted to cut down Hank who fought back with an arm over his wound.
At this point Naa had arrived before the building and heard the gunshots, she made a call for back up before pulling out her gun and running into the building. Hank avoided a swing from Jessica’s blade, just in time as Naa burst in “freeze”. Jessica responded by throwing a knife at her and taking cover behind a pillar.
Hank taking advantage of this jumped out and escaped.
The two ladies continued their battle as Jessica took cover behind pillars and launched shuriken at her, this exchange continued for a few minutes when Jessica heard the faint sounds of sirens growing louder as they drew closer.
“These has been fun but I really must go” Jessica spoke as she pulled out a device and pressed on a button. Beeping sounds made their way into Naa’s ears, looking to her side she saw the source and had her eyes widen in realization as she made her way out of the building which burst into flames alongside the explosion.
At Thompson enterprises;
Ferdinand whistled as he made his way to his car but screamed as he saw a bloodied Phantom before him. “Help me” the phantom barely managed to utter those words before falling before Ferdinand.
“Oh my god!” Ferdinand exclaimed.
A bit farther from the building which had caught fire and was now surrounded by the police, Jessica pulled out her phone and made a call, “it is done”.

The Prince of the Sand
“Today you have to be the strongest man of all, son. After we deliver you, you will survive, and we will die.” When the Xalya Dungeon is about to fall under the attack of an alliance of savages, the last lord of the steppe entrusts his firstborn with a painful mission: Dashvara has to pass himself off as a member of an enemy clan, as a Shalussi, to exact revenge in a shameful way. Forced to see his people killed or enslaved, this heartbroken but still proud and humorous steppe man will soon be dragged in a surprising adventure that will shake his will and beliefs. This story follows Dashvara as he struggles through foreign lands and discovers that the world is not only made of deserts and horses but also of “civilized” societies with strong bureaucracy and slave-based systems. Author's note: The fantasy setting has some ancient Roman influences. Also, expect a bit of slice-of-life and comedy along Dashvara's philosophical journey. Despite the “gore” tag, violence is not the focus of this story and descriptions are not particularly gruesome. Updates Mondays and Fridays. This is a Creative Commons By work. It is a reworked and continued translation of a trilogy I wrote in Spanish between 2016 and 2018.
