It’s dusk. Another night. It felt like it just happened. Everything moved so fast. He was prepped, ready for the oncoming battle. Ready to fight alongside new allies and most importantly at the side of his longest and truest friend. Then there was pain. Sudden. A Flash the world went dark. He was surrounded trying to stand but more pain came. Trying to keep his eyes open. He saw Eva getting attacked. He saw Munin. But where was Kolic? Where was he?!? His friend, his brother. What had they done to him. Tamer had to get to his feet, find Kolic. Where had that first shot come from? What happened?
The desert. Where Tamer came from. What a beautiful time of night. Not bright… Not Dark. Not hot...Not cold. Tamer couldn’t remember when this became a place he would go to. To just think. Be alone. Escape from it all.
“I was worried about you. Isn’t that funny? My first thought was Clan Mayhem had grabbed you. That you were in grave danger. The ref started running through the concussion questions. How many fingers am I holding up, What day is it, who is the president? I kept asking where you were. What happened to you. Then they showed me the tape. I watched you swing that chair. I was so angry at first.”
Tamer clenches his fists. He wanted to hurt someone. Something. The rage was trying to boil over. Over 10 years and this is what it was worth. He’d known Klic before Kate was even part of the picture. He’d befriended her as he watched them fall in love with each other. He couldn’t have been happier for two people on this earth.
“Then it just hurt. It still does. It goes beyond the bruises. The mild concussion. But, I had to wonder… was this my fault. I brought you into this place. after those years of friendship I repaid you and your wife by asking you to fight alongside me in this demon’s pit that is GZW2K1. And i left. I left you to fend for yourself. I left you in a place where you wife’s safety was put at risk. Where your life was put at risk. Maybe I had that chair shot coming. Maybe it was my fault. Maybe I owed you the apology. Perhaps you were going to say just that. That you’d been left to the wolves. That you needed me to see just what I’d let happen to you. Just where I’d left you.”
The pain is so deep it’s hard to contain. The rage is surging through every muscle, every fiber. With one swing of a chair so much had been erased. All he wanted was an answer
“So what did you say? When you finally broke your silence…. What was the big explanation? What would you have to say to me?”
Tamer starts breathing heavily
“Not A God Damn Thing. You erased a decade in an instant and couldn’t even reference it. You threw away a family member and pretended like your greatest offense wasn’t even an offense at all. That all you did on that night was protect Eva. What about Munin? Were you protecting her? Did you protect me when you bashed my skull in?”
Nothing… He had said nothing… How could he do this. What about Kate? Nothing would ever make this right, could ever make this ok.
“You self serving… What about Kate!? How does she feel? The woman you said your vows to under the eyes of your almighty. Can she still trust you? Do you still have your faith? Where do you draw the line now? You proved to Munin that your word is worthless. You showed Eva that your Friendship is meaningless. And you have clearly illustrated to me that family means nothing to you.”
Tamer takes a deep breath. He has been seething for days wading through the pain and the hurt.
“Kate… stay at home. I know you love him… But I am going to hurt him. He has opened a door. I can only do so much to protect you from the bed he has made. So please stay home…. Kolic I could end this by saying the two words to that I’d have never thought I would be say to you... Be Prepared.”
Tamer shakes his head and laughs. Not a laugh full of joy and merriment. A terrifying laugh. A laugh from a man that has lost something he knows he can’t ever get back
“You can’t prepare for this… You can’t fathom this… Oh what, oh what have you done…”
