The Jokester

Mason, Mason, Mason… with an outstanding performance.

One can say spectacular, as if he captures what war is.

factions are concerned, and terrified from the sounds of it.

What will he do next!? I wonder.

Fuck man, where is this Ryker person.

I feel like a hunter

Searching for its prey

One wrong step I could be dead

Kinda fun to think of it playing with life or death

Kinda feels like I’m buried alive

My blood is pumping. What will fate have in store for little old me?

The heat kicked up some more, wind piled up and blew the hot sand at me feels like I am in a tornado.

Yikes, I packed too light, I only got 1 mag left with 4 bullets in my weapon. I counted 3 bullets.

Pulse, Finally found you Ryker.

it was getting darker out and slightly cooling down. The sand felt nice for the first time, it brought back memories of how I was in a very similar environment.

The hot, ashy gravel flew at me as if it was hailing, when we got dropped off at base camp in my other life.

The sky wasn't starry, it was just pitch black my mind wandered off to Neverland just staring at the dark sky.

Maybe I still have a little bit of humanity in me after all. I am painting my own story. Or was it already painted for me and I am just creating an alternate world, again ironic given my situation.

I heard footsteps as if he was somewhere around me, to avoid being attacked I buried myself in sand just enough to breathe but not let him see me.

I only had my knife with me. I tighten my grip ready to lunge at him.

I did just to realize it was a decoy, the real attack was behind me.

“Psst, Mason I see you, you can’t find me, I am on your left now right behind, im everywhere.”

“Imma toy with you a little bit more till you break down then I will slice you and use your head as a trophy.”

“I hope you're ready Mason. The whole world is watching.”

I lunge at Mason and slightly gaze at him with my knife.

“I miss on purpose I can kill you whenever I want, I am Ryker, one of the best nobel clans around.”

For the first time in this world, I felt helpless the way he kept gazing at me, missing on purpose it was driving me crazy.

He was not your ordinary person, he did this before, his kill count got to be high, to pull this off.

I tried catching his breath but just as I was about to, I was misdirected.

“Just give up Mason.”

“you will never find me”

“matter of fact”

“I bet you would love to kill me”

I attacked mason this time knicked him in the forearm just enough to see pain in his eyes.

But he did not flinch nor show any sign of panic.

“Interesting.”

“I can tell you are used to this we came from the same cloth”

“my upbringing was an easy one, I was top ranked while I was at school.”

“I bet you can’t relate to that.”

“I am betting the factions are starting to wonder who will get me.”

“killing Veno was pure luck.”

“I love toying with you but now I will step it up a knot, as I tripped Mason, ha he fell what a clown, thats right be helpless.”

“I took a deep breath as I whisper in mason ear”

“Aren’t you curious, let me give you a riddle”

“I am everywhere

Elevated one can say

Up and down left right

What am I?”

“I was laughing hysterically at Mason

I love seeing my prey just standing still

Picture perfect

Ready to see cheese?”

“Chop, Chop

The crowd is waiting

You are not fun

Come on guess

Guess so I can kill you”

“Don’t be shy Mason”

You can guess

Cat got your tongue

Boo hoo get over it

Imagine your close ones

Pleading for their life

Begging to not be killed

It thrive me to murder you”

“My breath ran down Mason, neck”

“Solve the riddle

I am getting inpatient

Hurry.. HURRY!

Mason!

I know you there

GAH! MASON!”

“I guess I got no choice, you ruin my fun

Do you got any left word’s before I take your life

I know you there

I can hear you breathing”

“Don’t be afraid to get it wrong it wont there is an exit

Oh wait that your death bed”

“Hello

Knock

Knock

Who’s there?

Mason

Mason who?

A dead corpse

I was gaining momentum for the final blow, I ran around in circles as my voice echoed this is how you break down your prey.”

“This is war after all no right or wrong, Just a born killer loving to toy with humans, matter of fact all humans should die by me, it brings me entertainment, knowing the prey I capture will die, as I lick the knife

Ouch I cut my tongue a little, oh well no pain, no gain. I felt neither my blood lust grew super fast nor did I think about seeing Mason's dead body and his head hanging in my palace.”

“Matter of fact Mason

I won’t kill you its okay,

I know you there frozen in place, trying to not too panic,

this is my lights, camera, action,

in

three

two

one

imagine the crowd seeing you panic and scared while, me Ryker the assassin toying with your measly life.”

‘Ouchy, the sand got in my eyes, that's no fun you could have ran Mason.

It’s okay I bet you are dying from thirst here have some water

SIKE! You thought all humans are the same, let me give you one more riddle.”

“What goes up

goes down

Doesn’t move?

Oh wait, it’s you.

Goodbye, Mason, you 've been an interesting plaything but I got bored with you.
