August 25, Year 2034. The clouds are getting dark and dense, like they will be calling a heavy rain to bury the whole world. It's been two years since I last saw Joker. This time was agonizing, like a million knives were piercing through my body. "I had no choice", this is what I keept telling to myself to somehow endure the pain. I knew what suffering he has been through and I wished to stop it, but I coudn't. This is the only way, everything would work fine. I had only one friend before, who I treasured. He got taken away from me and after the betrayal from my brothers, I've decided to never call anyone a "friend". Then he came around, just a puppet to succeed with my objective, but the longer time I've spent with him, the faster my heart would hammer. When I almost lost to my enemy, he didn't leave me, he saved me. He was no longer just a puppet, he was my friend, a partner, who I could trust with my life. I hope he will forgive me one day for what I have done. It was time, time

I ran as fast as I could to the place, that Thea mentioned, from afar I could hear the sounds of the battle. When I reached the destination, I saw Thea and Aven, fighting for their lives, while the others started to flee from the monsters. Without hesitation, I rushed into battle. Grabbing my bow and arrows, I shot some monsters, who were way too close to them. I saw a smile on Thea's face, but Aven didn't give any welcome signs for my arrival. After some time, we managed to kill all the creatures in the area. I was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. Thea wanted to thank me, but Aven stopped her and aimed his gun at me. - What are YOU doing here?! - He asked angrily. I was about to answer, but Thea pushed Aven away and started screaming at him, what really surprised me. I decided to step away, while these two were arguing with each other. Thea clearly tried to defend me and Aven just wanted to kill me. I got used to people wanting to kill me, it was sad to think about, but

Cold breeze from a rainy day made me shiver. I stayed at one of the abandoned buildings in the dead city, not knowing, where to go and what to do. How could I find my brother now, when I'm all by myself? I have found some leads, while sticking around with the group. They knew this world and I could only follow them. I was thinking for a long time, if I should somehow ask Ven for help, but I had feeling, that it wouldn't be a good idea. I left the building, had to keep going. Two days passed by fast, I tried to cover most of the places, that I could reach, but still found nothing. I was mad, both at myself and the others. How could they kick me out just like that, only because of who I was? "Don't judge a book by its cover" they say, while their opinion about me has changed in seconds. My mood was grumpy and I couldn't focus on anything, even on my surroundings. Suddenly, a big monster cut off my way and was ready to attack me, but it fell on the ground before it even had a chance to

Hard hit on my face woke me up, my eyes dazzled by the flames from somewhere nearby, I've looked around. I saw many guards around me and an old guy in front. We were outside, it felt like everyone was waiting for something. On my right I noticed my friends, locked up in a cage. I attempted to stand up, but I was tied up and couldn't move. Then someone brought a metal box and placed it in front of me. An old man glanced at me, a big smile appearing on his face. - Friends! – He started his speech. - We have gathered here today to avenge our dead allies. They were heroes and will not be forgotten! – A man turned around on his heels. - We will keep going till our destiny will be fulfilled! Together we can do everything! - The crowd burst into applause. - But we can't do the same mistakes, like before! We can't let others to destroy our dreams! We need to eliminate the problems, that stand in our way! - He pointed at me. - This is one of the problems! – The crowd started making angry

I've reached the house, the walls were destroyed as well as one of the towers, smoke covered the main building, but I couldn't see any fire anymore. I stopped at the entrance or what was left of it, people were trying to help others with their wounds and get the place together again. I was too late, but I was hoping, that not many people got hurt. I stepped in, slowly looking at the destruction, then I noticed Thea, sitting and crying on the ground. I rushed myself to check on her. - Thea? Are you ok? - I asked, worried, kneeling next to her. Thea's glassy eyes locked on me, she took a shaky breath. - Joker?! You... - She started crying even more. I wasn't sure, if she was hurt and when I wanted to ask, Thea jumped on me, hugging tightly. She was shaking and because of tears I couldn't understand anything, what she was trying to say. I tried to calm her down, wrapping my arms around her. - I thought, that you are dead. - Someone said behind me. I looked over my shoulder - it was
