My name is John Mavericks. I live in dunwall a city where a plague killed over half the citizens. Weepers pop up every once and a while, but it’s been almost two hundred years since the rat plague. Right now I’m nine years old. I live happily with my mom and dad. I have a friend that lives two blocks away from me. My mom showed me my family tree. They were all swords men and they are all great at parkour. I was taught how to use a sword effectively and taught parkour effectively. I use parkour any time I can. Right now I’m “walking” to school when I saw my friend “walking” to school.

“See that you do the same as me.” My statement cause him to trip on the roof. He slides down the roof. If he falls he dies. I grab his leg and pull him up. “Come one. You don’t die now. Do that after school.” We laugh together and continue running. We make it to school and walk in.

We are what people call prodigies, people that are smarter than the rest. We are in twelfth grade. People are surprised when we walk in. We’re so young. First period is chemistry. Today we are learning about the periodic table. I’ve already memorized half. My friend Memrised it all. I’m to lazy to memorize it all. I forgot to mention it’s 2017 and it’s November. Second period is P.E. and it is an obstacle course. My friend and I do the obstacle course twenty times. After that we do one hundred laps. He falls over and goes unconscious. I run to him. I place my hand on his forehead. He’s burning up. “Someone get the nurse or call his mom! He’s sick!” The nurse comes over and his parents fallow suit. He has a cold. I honestly thought he had a fever. I continue knowing that he’s fine only a little sick. Next period is history. We learn about Corvo’s betrayal from the spymaster and Emily’s downfall from Delilah copperspoon. To be honest Corvo is my hero. He never killed anyone even when he was framed for the murder of the empress. Forth period is math. I fell asleep because I already learned it. I was awoken by a police officer.

“Son you need to come with me.” He has a sad look on his face. He’s hiding something, but what. “It concerns your parents. Something happened and... they wanted to give you something that we have. Last thing I’m so sorry for what happened. We couldn’t get there fast enough.”

I began to tear up. “What happened? Please tell me.” I ask. I look at everyone and they look confused.

“Someone wanted them gone. There... there... we found them dead. They where murdered.” My heart sank so for down I couldn’t cry. I couldn’t talk. All I could only follow him. I walk into the police station and see what they left for me. It was a chest. It had some weird carvings on it. I opened the chest and I was surprised. All this stuff should be in a museum. It had a note on the lid. It was from mom.

‘Dear John,

If your wondering why we have this. You might be shocked. We are descendents of the lord protector Corvo Atono. We love you and be careful. Bring the one that killed us to justice. Don’t paint the blade with incident blood. Kill only if needed. Make us proud. Protect the ones that can’t protect them selves.

Love,
Mom’

I took out the cloak and put it on. I now noticed the camera crew. I pay no attention to them. I pull out the cross bow Emily used during the Delilah takeover. The cloak was from when Corvo was blamed. There is a holster under the cloak. I pull out the sword and it was folded. I placed it in it’s respective holster. I pull a desert eagle. It was dad’s. Last I pull out the mask. An audible gasp from the camera crew and reporter. I noticed the book at the bottom. I saw a hook on the belt. The rest of the clothing was in the chest. I place the mask down and stare at it. It was the missing family tree book. There was a page marked. It was when the Kaldwin became the Mavericks. One of our decedents had two children. I showed it to the police officer. He was shock. He showed it to the camera men. Another audible gasp was heard. The officer put his hand on the mask. He placed something on it and I pretend not to notice. I place the mask on my face and grab the chest. I walk into the bathroom. I walk out with the rest of the gear. I was instructed to stay in the police station so no one would attempt to kill me. I comply and follow him into a cell. I fall fast asleep.

I wake up in a distorted world. I'm on a ledge but there’s no ground. I walk forward and walk under an arch. A man in a black suit steps in front of me.

“My dear John. It’s nice to see the descendants of old friends. I will give you a gift unfortunately there are no more runes in Dunwall so I’ll give you the power.” The strang man said.

“Who are you and where are we?” I ask frantically looking for a way out.

“I’m the Outsider and we’re in the void. The powers I give you are blink, a teleportation ability. Next is wind shield, the ability will stop projectiles and when stopped it will launch it back or away depending where you point your hand. Next is wind blast, shot a strong wind to throw your enemies into a wall or away from you. Next is shadow walk, turn into a shadow and be more stealthy. Next is pull, pull your enemies to you or combine it with wind blast to lift them into the air or pin them against the wall. Last is bend time, stop time for a minute or until you stop it. The mark will appear after you awake.” The world fades and I wake up.

The color and feel of the bed. The officer walks in and my hand starts to burn. I feel myself lift off the ground. I clench my wrist. The sensation feels horrible yet great. It ends and I fall to the ground. I look up to see the officer in awe. I smile and walk around him. I walk out to find the one who killed my parents. I use blink to get to the rooftops and run. This is only the beginning.
