Entry #1.5

In the mid-2012, i got involved to some events that led me to where i am now.

When i applied to join the Crows, that was an order that received contracts by anonymous clients. 
The contracts had many ends, sometimes infiltration, espionage, and sometimes even killing a target if needed.
Their initiation wasn't the best thing for the human eyes or body. I went to many process like how to feel pain, survival, close-quarters combat, magic (which i lack the power completely), 
seals (whose purpose is to serve as a shield, if you didn't figure out yet, but it only works one at a time, and after the seal is broken, you have to create another one, there are many types of seals, many to name actually, i'll talk about them more in the future), torture and i could keep going with this list but i don't think it's really worth it. 
Well, after all that, my initiation was complete, i was already part of The Seething Crows, and was ready for my first contract.

I've learned how not to fear, and learned how to ease the anxiety by constant concentration. So the first contract was just like another drill for me.

It was just an scout and intel contract, as the name suggest, i should just observe and grab any information on the target/territory i was supposed to scout. No questions, no objections. Nice and easy, a milk run. 
Almost all the contracts were done with two or more people. Infiltration ones was one man operation. 

Well, so they put me and another novice, 03 was his number i guess, to scout and intel a target that was marked for death. I intended to do the drill to the letter, but the other novice, who thought he had great initiative, thought that "since the target was already marked for death, why don't we kill him already?".
I said no, we should keep with the drill (yes, i always had this soldier instinct thing, since i served my time in the army), but he was going anyway, stupid fuck. 
One rule that we always had in mind on the order was: 

                 "Don't leave your brothers and sisters, even in danger
                      even in death, if one fall, we all fall."

We followed the target and scouted and took note of his day, seemed just like any normal guy dressed in a grey suit with one of those fedora hat who had some office works and these kind of shit. Until he left his job by the dusk and went to the woods (why always the woods?).

What got my mind was that he was on foot, calmly walking through the woods as we followed him. That's when 03 decided to act, i stopped him when i saw the target was going to an strange destroyed and engulfed by the forest building. But of course, he didn't gave a solitary fuck and was going to do the target anyway. 

The target was already into the building as we got in, we heard some conversations and some strange noises, as some machine was charging up in one of the rooms. there was a lot of rooms in a long surprisingly blinding white corridor.

"how come this corridor can be so white on this destroyed building?" - 03 said.

So we followed the noise to the room, but no one was there just a chair, in the middle a white room with no windows.
We waited there for almost 20 minutes when we decided to get back to the order. 

When it happened.

Just as i put my foot out of the room, 03 vanished, and i heard his screams outside and ran to see what the hell was going on.
We were in a completely different location, i heard sound of water like in a beach, but couldn't tell cause there was still woods surrounding us, also a thick fog didn't let me see anything in front of me, but one thing i certainly saw.

There he was, The Faceless One. The first time i really had seen him with my own eyes, right there, in front of me. Until there i only had seen proxies and some other paranormal things.

03 had his whole body squeezed by two of his arms while the others were piercing his body like spears while the other arms were violently moving on his back.

I've seen videos, I've seen blogs, but none of them related The Faceless One so violent, there's more than one? does he acts different to every person?

Thing is, i couldn't let 03 die like that,  So i drew my daggers, and as i jumped to try and cut off the arms, my protective seal exploded, and my right foot was grabbed and i was hurled ten meters away. The last thing i saw was 03's body be torn apart like it was a piece of paper, that's when i hit a tree and fell unconscious.

When i woke up, it was already dawn, the fog was gone as the building and the woods. I was in the middle of a big field with a narrow road leading to a town. I still had my cellphone but the battery was almost dead and there was no signal.
So i walked almost 6 miles to a town i had never heard of, full of people with different clothes and cars that wasn't from my timeline.

Soon i noticed that i was thrown back in time. But when?
I found a newspaper that said i was on February 27, of the year 1867.
I just couldn't believe in it.

Walking through the town, people started to notice me, since my clothes was way too strange for them, when i found a building way different from those surrounding it.
It seemed just like the same building from before, but this time it wasn't destroyed. I've waited some hours in front of it, to see if anyone was going to go in or out of the building. I was starving, but i just couldn't leave that place. To help there was a junk food house right next to where i was sitting.

A gentle sir noticed me and came with a bread and water. As he handed me,  he asked

"You have been standing here all day looking at this building, you're waiting for someone?"

"Yes, i'm waiting for a friend."

"There are some strange people who come out of this building, if they are your friends, you should choose your friends better hehe"

I thanked him for the food, and not 5 minutes later... the target appeared.
Running like he was fleeing from someone. Got into the building and i went after him. As i opened the door, i saw a colossal wave of darkness swallowing the whole town. I got in as fast as i could and saw the target entering one of the rooms again. 
I quickly followed him to the room, and when he saw me, he shouted 

"NO, NOT NOW!"

Everything went black for some seconds, i felt a hand grabbing my throat, by reflex i buried my dagger to where it was supposed to be the abdomen.
When everything came back to normal, i saw the 03 laying dead, stabbed on the lungs. How? hell if i know. But way more blood painting the white room than it was supposed to be. 

I left the building to find myself on those woods again, seemed like the same woods, so i followed the path out of there, and it appeared that everything was normal, and i was back in 2012.
When i asked a kid what year we were, after he laughed at my face, he said

"Welcome to 2015 weirdo"

So yeah. That was just my first contract, and i had more intel than i could handle. I went back to the order, but what i saw was just a big pile of ashes.
I have no idea what happened or where they went. I've tried to search for them in many places but they just don't exist anymore. 

So here i am, 3 years in the future, tried to forget everything and live a new life and almost did. But it looks like i still have a contract to complete and still fight an entity i'm not sure how it works and why it "wants me back in the game".


I just made this post for you to know just a little who the hell am i, and how i got here and these kind of thing.
That's most of it.


I think i might need some help, heh

That's all for today,
take care.
