My name is Akkere, and I have faced things you never thought were possible. I have been shot out into space, survived a ship crash at 600 miles per hour, and even became a circuit box. It is unbelieveable that I am alive at all. I’m not sure how it all started (I have had my share of concussions) but I guess it started during my old job. I used to be an assistant for a bartender named Rakias. HYe was at the same time, my boss. But I also became friends with him later on. I worked at my job for over 3 years but that all changed when I met a man in a black hood. He came by in the bar one day and said he was looking for soldiers to join the fight against the factions that have the military pinned down. I of course, declined. The old man decided that he would check back later.
In the mean time, Rakias led me to a steel container saying that it has something I would need.
“Akkere, that old man had got me thinkin’ and well, I think you should join him with the military.” I was surprised to hear this and I decided top ask why. At least I was going to until he opened the boc. “I wasn’t always a bartender, I used to be a archeologist, and I had found many artifects in that lifetime.” Rakias was very secretive about his life and it surprised me how he chose now to start revealing. Although what did surprise me the most was what was in the steel container. Gleaming out was a shining jewel the size of a tool box. It shined a ruby red color that reflected on the metal.
“Akkere, this jewel came from the plane of Hell itself. I heard a myth that claims it has special properties that can… revitalize you.” I didn’t understansd what he meant. Was all this a joke? I couldtn think so, it semed to be real. The jewel gave off a heat sensation from exposure that it was enough to probe it. “I’m giving you this if you decide to join. It will guarentee your survival in the battles to come.”
I knew I had no choice. I saw it in his eyes, Rakias wanted me to go, but question is, why? “Ok I guess but how does this stone hope to help me?” I said in a cautious voice. Rakias then handed me the jewel, and the minute I touched the surface was the minute everything had changed.
