(So far I've managed to gather a pretty formidable group. My goals seem closer to fruition each day. Do I think we can fully reach them with the warriors I have gathered so far...yes, but there are pieces to my puzzle missing. With these pieces I could attain that which I want so much faster. Still though my incomplete puzzle bothers me, I'm more focused on the pieces I already have.
Johnny Christian...oh how that name haunts me. My fading love and hatred are both for him. At some point soon I'm going to have to spend some time with him. It's not that I don't want to bludgeon his face in with a blunt object. Because I do. I've just been busy. I'm sure he understands I don't mean to neglect. Still his strength and determination serve me well even if his attitude utterly annoys me.
Then there's the Romans. These two I am rather pleased to have around. They view me as an Amazon and follow my every whim. Do I use this in a frivelous manner? No. They are warriors. Strong and violent. They're the kind of people that could slaughter a village and then go home to eat a big dinner without a second thought. My kind of people. Their language barrier is their main hinderence. Also they aren't exactly big thinkers, but what they lack in brains they make up for in violent initiative.
I started with those three and lately have expanded. For as well-planned as I am I still can't be completely sure I know exactly where I'm going with all of this. Not long ago I happened across someone who I share more kinship with than the rest of my band of warriors. Someone whose bloodlust mirrors my own. Granted it's a circus mirror, but it reflects nontheless. Essence. For the past week I have spent every night in her company. Her nature fascinates me. It's beautiful really, but it's far from her only good quality. No her mind is sharp and brutal. Maybe I'm not the only one with a chaotic symphony of violence dancing in my head.
I can't help but feel a bond of sorts growing from our similar qualities. Still I'm guarded. I didn't get where I am by trusting every person I came across that could spill a little blood. She has plans that at the moment I'm comfortable with, but if I feel like her or any of the others is going to turn on me I'll reduce them all to ash. So only time will tell, but for now I'm enjoying her company.
And now I've added Siren. A woman who can cloud the minds of men and even sometimes women. I find her ability more entertaining than anything. She's a good addition to the crew I've formed. If everyone's strengths were in the same area we would be weak in all other areas. What we all have in common is we all know this is my show and we all like violence. I'm already looking at someone else to join my horde. Someone who would play a much different role. I'll be keeping a close eye on Dean Owens.)
Summer: A very close eye...
