Snippet #2399914

Cain laid, motionless on the ground. His left eye was glued to the visor of his mask. The screen displayed five screens, all of which were coming from the meeting area. He acknowledged the safety of the king, queen, and prince. Letting out a small breath breath and looked on with his right eye. Seeing as no one was inside of the room yet, he deduced that the meeting hadn't started yet.

Why have a meeting anyway. We'll never see eye to eye. Magic and science don't mix and those who only want peace are basically pigs for the slaughter. That's what dad said.

This may have been one of the reasons why him and his dad never truly bonded. His father was always to much of a realist for him. No. Not a realist. He was just one of those men who had always seen things in a bad light. Cain wondered what did he himself believe in.

Do I believe in anything? How do I know I'm even alive?

He thought of his brother too. He remembered the day he left. The blood he spilled. The look on his face.

For the first time he looked happy.

There was a sudden movement that made him twitch his trigger finger, snapping him out of his thoughts. Of course the rifle was on safe. The bird seen to have jerked a little bit. Cain almost knew what was coming next, but for some reason he didn't move an inch. Maybe if it was someone who was against him then that someone would slit his throat and give him the death someone like him deserves. Then again maybe it wasn't someone fowl at all. He sure didn't sense anything of that nature. He felt a tap on his shoulder. The sound of a female echoed in his ears as he stood still without saying a word. She then took a few steps back and apologized of all things.

He decided to call his side of the mission done for now, after all there were still five more AI powered rifles around. But, he doubted he would've used those anyway.
Standing up, he slowly took off his mask and let out a sigh before opening his eyes and giving the girl a gentlemen like smile. "Oh. There's no need to apologize." He calmly said. "I wasn't doing anything of importance really. I just don't like crowds so I chose to watch the meeting from up here. Plus, I also got to train having stayed in that position. Thanks for your kindness though, miss...?" He decided to go with the friendly approach. He told himself he wasn't a killer anymore. He was a guard. He wouldn't kill anyone as long as they weren't a threat to the Magistrate. He stuck out his hand as he asked her name.
