solo. || calm before the storm.
“...if you cut a snake’s tail right below the head, how long is it likely to survive?” he watched the news playing on the television within his apartment room. the announcement brought upon by the lynxes, no doubt the starter call to pandemonium. there was no way the snakes would not create some sort of mayhem, and perhaps the phoenix would get involved ( which would be idiotic in his eyes, when you get caught you have to throw away your toy—those were simply the general rules in survival ). although a dove, he was sure he was somehow going to get caught in the cross fire ( probably because of an order from columba, maybe he’d have to play savior and hitman, he’ll find out later ). however, that’s not what really mattered. no, the whole island can go kill each other for all he cared but— his family lived in this island. people who can get hurt, not so prepared, and might be involved. and god, his brother— of all the times for him to be staying in his apartment instead, he really wondered what kind of timing this was. and he had no doubt he had to ready some weapons for the bedlam to come. he wondered how many he had to kill, how many he had to pull out from all the chaos. he would honestly prefer to lay low, silently in the shadows and not bother with it. bring his family somewhere safe and let the whole mess die down. but he was a columba hitman and it’d be bad on him if he didn’t show up like so. no, he could think of this logically. if columba assigned him to help some civilians then he could help a few but as soon as he saw his family or brother somehow getting caught in the crossfire, protect them because he was doing as they said—protect civilians. and if he had to kill some hydrus members then he’ll quickly end some ( he had a feeling some other members were more than willing to end them anyway, he didn’t have to do much ). with that in mind, he stood up and decided to head to his hideout. he got to plan this out more. keep it discreet as usual, and ready some masks and all if need be. truly, what a hectic time this will be. however, he was ready to make sure that by the end of the say he was going to keep his family safe.
