((This is my first attempt at something like this, so bare that in mind))

Entry one.

Sure As Sure.

I do have another name, but you can know me by the name Skull Maiden, it is a fitting title when you consider my ‘Career’ , more of that later. Anyway you may consider that a introduction to me, I am not likely to say much yet about myself, now let me tell you about Longbow and Ms Liberty, let me tell you why I hate them, it’s all quite simple but to give you something to read I shall draw it out a little”.

It was a dark night that night, there was no moon, that’s always a bad sign, some day the red moon is the bad one but amongst my people the moonless nights are said to be a portent of doom, it is strange and a little unnerving how accurate some legends are. Of course it’s no legend though, the truth of the events that followed proved that, it was not that long after I had formed my own gang, after helping the Skull’s along I was something of a leader to their pathetic little movement, I am partially responsible for their limited powers, no doubt there are new leaders now, they were warped what I wanted out of greed and trying to get rich in their own simple ways so I abandoned them. They were disappointments not worthy of my presence or my gifts, I tried to make them see the bigger things, my bigger plan, I suppose they were just too stupid in the end. Anyway the new gang I had formed The Bone Stealers were of a higher class of people and were a lot more successful, soon it was leading to where I wanted to go, down the route of power I don’t deny it as far as it could go, I am no fool though I knew the lines not to cross. Everything was under my control, a new partner had recently joined m gang after hearing about one of our magic museum robberies in which I gained quite a powerful Gem stone, he offered funding I was glad to accept it, I should have been more suspicious my mistake was ever trusting that smarmy bag of slime! I did though and let him get closer, to close to me, perhaps to close to my plans.

So back to that night, Longbow much to my surprise had requested my presence as they wanted to ask me some questions about certain things that might have concerned me, not wanted to cause myself trouble I decided to go along with their meeting, at a location of my own choosing though. I knew of just the place somewhere that held some magical significance, so I arranged the meeting as a old Native American burial ground on top of a large cliff that now overlooked a corn field. plus it gave me a good vantage point as I had told them to wait in the field, I took three of my trusted lieutenants with me and waited in the darkness for Longbow to arrive. They did, right on time a Longbow helicopter landed in the field and three Longbow personnel got out, they didn’t give their names and I didn’t ask, I was there to get this sorted out quickly not to get social, I had better things to do really but they would have only pestered me more and become more of an annoyance if I didn’t answer their questions there and then.

I made my presence known and stood up at the edge of the cliff so they could see me clearly and I asked what they wanted to talk to me about, the middle one of their group, one of their officers walked forwards and asked me about a certain magically charged crystal that had gone ’missing’ during a shipment. It was curious that they seemed so worried about it, I had indeed taken it but it was perfectly safe, I asked them about their fear and to my surprise they were quite transparent on the matter and the officer said. They feared how powerful it was it had apparently been building up power for years and there would be a point where it would detonate, what they did not add and I later found out was that detonation gave the survivors of its explosive end great powers. However at that time I took it for face value that the explosion was a bad thing, I asked them for proof of this potential explosion, my curiosity had gotten the best of me however and this had inadvertently given away that I knew the location of the crystal. I really would have seen it coming at any other time, I am quite known for being smarter than average, on this night though I was irritable, annoyed and a little unnerved by the lack of the moon and the other worldly presences of spirits I could feel all around me, In hindsight it was not so good a meeting place after all as some of the spirits seemed to be reacting to this news of a explosion. I told my lieutenants to be ready in case some of these spirits decided to show their selves, so the discussion went on. Now what follows is a little hazy, not that I didn’t know what happened I know alright, I know, so as the talks went on they were getting a lot more aggressive in their nature both parties were getting angry, like I said though I know damn well what happened.

There was some commotion behind me I turned to look, then something hit me, some kind of psychic wave, one of the Longbow agents evidentially had mind powers of some sort. I was dizzy and feeling sick, my vision was going blurred, I could make out the traitor coming towards me I felt him grab hold of me, then he said, “I have you now sure as sure”. Then I felt a hit to my chest he must have pushed me or kicked me away towards the cliff, at that time Longbow opened fire, they were shooting at me! I though was shoved backwards off the cliff I felt myself slip and bullets hit off my armour and I felt myself falling, strange it seemed to go so slowly, I remember thinking, damn it I’m going to die again. I hit the floor front first with a crunch my armour did well but the concussion of the fall broke many of my bones and I slowly blacked out the last thing I saw before waking up in the ‘Zig‘s‘ medical bay was the longbow soldiers running towards me to take me.

So there you go, that is why I hate Longbow they tried to kill me, if I had been weaker they would have, as for the traitor well he was obviously a Longbow spy, where else would he get the funds he had and know where to be to join me when he did. It’s all so obvious now. I though will have my revenge I will find him and the Longbow agents who were there, I will even take on Ms Liberty if I have to, the Orders to kill me had to have came from high up maybe from her! That is all for now, you know what you needed to know nothing more nothing less, my revenge on Longbow is coming.

((That's all folks comments welcome and im sorry it's so wordy in future I will lower the word count))
