Re: Kattakkara Estate
Jared shrugged. "I was a Captain in the Army, 5th Special Forces group, attached to the 82nd Airborne. I was in Afghanistan, and told to take a location. I ordered a mortar strike, and the intel was wrong; it was a school."
He exhaled. "There was an inquiry. I was not charged, given an honorable discharge and a medal. But the damage had been done, and I had been changed. I took the codename, "Revenant", because I could see evil. I had somehow developed these odd, dark powers, and felt compelled to find bad guys and bring them to justice."
Then he shrugged again. "I'm not prone to a lot of introspection; I kick ass, take names, and move on. I don't really care how I got my powers."
He held out his arm, and a sword appeared, double-edged, with a straight blade, made of black metal with the star-filled night sky reflecting in it, and he said, "This will cut anything."
He opened his hand, and the blade disappeared.
He shrugged again. "So that's it. The whole story."
