Hunting Peggies

“It isn’t romantic but what about hunting some Peggies?” I thought about it before saying, “Working and playing, hmmm! Maybe we could find somewhere quiet to drink afterwards!” she nodded before hearing up spoke, “Unfortunately we don’t get such luxury to enjoy each other’s company like normal folk!” I nodded loading my shotgun before grabbing my bow spoke, “This is worse than Afghanistan?” “Yes, fighting practically my own neighbour because they saw easiness over work and believed it was true... this is all politics under the disguise of Religion, I know you think he is a religious nutjob but surely you can see it...” I nodded before turning the Eden’s Gate radio station on low spoke, “I study it from what he says...the thing is he claims I bring the collapse that I will open the four Seals but wouldn’t that make me Jesus in his eyes, the Lamb of God opens the four Seals and Lamb of God is a name for Jesus. He is actually an Heretic by his ideology because he is trying to stop gods work! He preaches about me seeking to destroy them but by their own emission would mean they rejected Gods word for Joseph’s? So is he the Devil? He has also broke several of the Ten Commandments. He has built a idol of himself, most worship him as a god, he is taking gods name in vain for his own agenda, he and the Peggies have stolen and have murdered. That’s 5 of the 10. I don’t think many have actually read the original bible! This is why I despise religion! It corrupts and divides those within and outside of the faith!” “The collapse?” she asked and nodding I spoke, “I believe him. The world will collapse but not by god but by either him pressing the button to prove his point or politicians going to war with each other!” she nodded before pulling the handbrake up to stop the vehicle spoke, “Lets take this one out...we can then use it to block anymore coming in from the North!” I nodded before handing her my binoculars spoke, “Snipers first, then mortars and machine gunners. The rest will be easy!”

Like clockwork, the thing is the Peggies were sort of idiots, not a single alarm went off it was all quietly done so when patrol cars did return they were met by Mortar fire aimed for the roads leading to it or past it then the resistance quietly sneaked in, taking up the mounted guns, sniper positions by time morning comes the Peggies wouldn’t know how or why they lost the base, just that they had lost it. “What are you doing Ash?” Grace queried sitting up on the tower next next to me as I surveyed the territory with my binoculars, “Over there is Jacobs territory? the one with the Stag statues?” she nodded using hers before saying, “Faith’s starts with the Statue of Joseph. Double trouble...Jacob will attack you physically and Faith mentally! Much to dangerous for you at the moment! Jacob isn’t like the others he will kill you and not toy around like the others!” I nodded before looking in again asked, “It confuses me the need for John... if what I have heard about Jacob is true then surely he could do John’s role, also if Faith attacks you mentally and emotionally and Jacob physically isn’t John just a rip off of both of them? Does Joseph not care about him enough to care and that begs the question of if I am this monster why hasn’t Jacob or Faith sent any help to suppress us?” she nodded before saying, “Who knows what is going through Joseph’s head all I know is we have John worried and Joseph noticing us!” I looked over to the roads and seeing the blockades asked, “So Jacob has blockades? Meaning we can only enter via air or boat! What is his territory like?” “A massive barracks with labs! Every area possible there is either a lab to test and experiment with animals to make Judges or barracks to train the strong. You see he believes you are either the strong or the weak. If you are “the weak” you need to be culled if you are the strong you should be trained!” I nodded before asking, “And Faith’s?” “A massive factory producing Bliss or Angels!” “So just say I became one of these “Strong” could I technically go to Faith’s territory and see her or no?” “You would have to earn a lot of respect from Jacob to even leave which requires killing or capturing a lot of innocents and then earning enough respect from those around Faith to meet her! Either way a lot of ****!” causing me to drink, “I just want to get to Faith and find out what is going on from her lips not anyone else’s!” “Makes me question why you are with me if you want her sooo much!” “She is my friend, I’m her only one! I am not going to let her down because everyone else will! Anyway... next one?” she nodded taking my arm, “Next one!”
