It’s storytime. The New Genesis Cult are lead by by ‘Saint Lust’ and their primary goals are to rape and pillage. Lust is a part of the Three Saints, which was known as the Seven Saints before a few of them died, that is a long story in itself. The Three Saints are independent religious cults that represent a sin. After the New Genesis Cult became an issue the hero's took them down but it required direct help from several councilmen. The effort was directed purely against Lust and not his subordinates because he is that tough an opponent. Also, Lust maybe the weakest of the remaining Saints but he is the most reviled because of his interest in the youths. Some of his men have similar taste while the others just take anything. With that said, I clench my fist in fear of what’s to come.

After they took us as hostages we were then lined up and taken to a corner where they intently watched us. After an hour of nothing a guy named ‘Lanky’ began to speak.

“Looks like the heroes aren't coming anytime soon! So let’s play a game. I will throw a knife in the air if you move you will be given to Bulk over there.”

He then gestured to a man who either took too many steroids or is a shaved gorilla. Smiling he then threw a knife into the air. Soon as he threw it, a couple men and a woman moved on reflex. When the knife landed it hit no one but I looked at the tank of a guy named Bulk, who was clearly excited.

“Hahaha great! Bulk I can’t have you be too busy so you can only have one of them at a time.”

Before they could even run Bulk moved like lightning killing the women and then dragging one guy kicking and screaming to another room.

“Ah! that’s right, Bulk hates women. Well more fun for me. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention this but Bulk doesn’t let people live when he is done.”

A minute after the lanky guy said that a big bang occurred and Bulk went flying through the wall. The person that followed him was Akrafena a fairly high ranking hero. After he entering, he immediately jumped far away. When I looked at the spot he was standing on I saw a slash mark. He then threw his weapon, a longsword, at the area in the ceiling that held the chandelier and a person fell and landed in front of us.

“Hahaha, as expected of you. To find Cammie so quickly but that doesn’t change the fact we have hostages.” Lanky said with a full grin on his face.

The hero’s expression didn’t change but then the sound of glass breaking rang out and Cammie and the lanky guy have big holes in their heads.

I then whispered to Rocinante, “ Since when do heroes go right for the kill?”

She responded with a grim face, “ That’s Akrafena he is well known for his cold calculating methods. He probably figured that this was most optimal.”

God, I hope he overlooks us.
