Eternal Curse: Battleground chapter 2(wip)

By this time, Jack was an old man, but he was still very strong and fit. Standing six fit tall with a perfectly straight back, he looked like a stone cutout of an old military officer. Even with his grey hair and wrinkled skin he was quite a sight. He leaned over to my ear with his hand rested on my shoulder. “You say the word…I’ve got them all within my trajectory. I’ll take’em all out for you?” he reported.

I swiftly turned in front of him recognizing the sincerity of his tone and put out my hands to address him. “No, that won’t be necessary. You don’t need to take anyone out, but I’d love some help and moral support.” I tilted my head to one side making the most innocent face I could.

Character Files from the ToiBox 24: Lilly- Bio

ECB-L

nofemaleBiography:  Subject EC:B 4-Lilly

Lilly is a shadow. She’s there all along, but she easy to forget. Her impact, however, lasts and lasts.

Lilly meets Giovanni and Mira as a little girl, but they don’t learn her story until later in her life when trouble arises. Giovanni and Mira will eventually serve as secret guardians to Lilly, protecting her from the world of the others which she can’t seem to stay away from.

Lilly’s tale, like everyone else in this series is a bit tragic. She was adopted as a baby and raised by an average human family, but like all families, it had its issues. When her parents decide to get a divorce, it was only the first of many struggles she’d have to overcome.

All in all, Lilly actually lives a rather pleasant life. She gets an education, gets married, has a career, and goes on to become a grandmother.

Character Files from the ToiBox 23: Jack- Bio

ECB-J

nomaleBiography:  Subject EC:B 3-Jack

Jack is another prodigy who makes an impact in the world of the Eternal Curse. In the case of Jack, knowing too much can hurt you. Jack is raised by a human family who not only knows about the others who walk the earth; they also associate with these beings.

Jack’s story is interesting because he, oddly enough as a human, poses a threat to both the others and the humans; not that he wants to be a threat to either in the beginning. Jack’s first battle is with his government and his right to have a powerful mind. He is taken from his home at a young age and forced to work for the government or be forever labeled a terrorist, but that’s another matter.

Jack’s thirst for knowledge doesn’t end with the knowledge of humanity. He begins to study and master the knowledge of supernatural beings and worlds. It is this knowledge that puts him in the path of Giovanni and Mira. They decide to help him and in return he helps them.

While Jack is much younger than Giovanni and Mira when they first meet, his maturity helps them all to develop a lasting friendship. There are good sons and bad sons, but when Giovanni and Jack become like brothers, lines of good and bad begin to blur. No matter what happens between them, two facts remain constant. They will both do any for Mira and they are both not to be trifled with.
