”I came from a world with one city, I was a protector of the city but the city was, broken. Not physical but but culturally, there were some people who had gained incredibly power from the ancients and ruled has gods over the city, beholden to no one but themselves”
"Thats not a good thing"
“Aye, people didn’t like that either so there was a tendency to rebel, they rewarded those who didn’t and after a thousand years of that the city was pretty divided between the rich and pious and the poor. They recruited guards entirely from the upper levels but that wasn’t enough. Even with a massive guard present people would still fight, they needed a common enemy, so they made one. They made creature that would attack the city periodically, if the guard killed them then they were seen as heroes, if they failed and the creature rampaged through the city a bit then that was only the poor areas so they didn’t care. That wasn’t enough for them, they wanted a hero they could control so they started taking people and twisting them, trying to make them more powerful”
"Thats horrible. Were.....were you one of the ones they took?"
”aye, they did something to me where I have to obey them, luckily they didn’t do much with me. I was the supposed hero of the city but I grew disillusioned. The guard had little problems with ending riots or protests by just killing everyone there and bring cruel was just a perk of the job. However a person known as the dream knife was organizing a rebellion. She was bloody hard to find much less fight and slippery too. She had gotten mind powers in some way was able to attack people in their dreams. One night she tried to attack me and found we agreed on much of the stuff. I did what I could to sabotage from my side and she did what she could on the other. Our real break toward changing stuff was a raid on a bunker in the wasteland”
*"Bunker? Was that my past life?"*
"And you defeated the bad guys?"
“It was a start, we found a god that was killed, before we were looking to cause enough trouble to make them consider changing the rules, now we could win. We ambushed one and successfully killed him. With that we have enough support to attempt to overthrow them, I formally changed sides and we did it. We successfully threw them and their supporters out of the city. I lead a force to run them down but I got reckless. To prevent them from taking control I had used a Helmet to deafen me, as one of the gods died she knocked the helmet off and spoke the word. I was turned on my allies. they also did something that caused the sun to bleed on the city causing devastation. I came back to myself in a shallow River full of the blood of my allies watching my city, the only city burn”
“I went into the city and I found my allies hadn’t been killed by the attack, they left into the wasteland to avoid me. They left a note that basically said, don’t follow us, don’t try to track us. I spend a unclear amount of time hunting down the remaining gods and their allies before I just wandered endlessly, I guess I fell through a portal and ended up here a while ago”
Bunker gives him a hug,
Mike jumps back like he expected an attack before awkwardly coping the gesture
