Prologue Part 1: A taste of what's to come

"Executioner Logan..." you felt a hand shake you, this was very strange, you felt heavy but very strong and bulky. your eyes opened promptly but something struck you right away, _I didn't open my eyes they just did? _you thought feeling what you felt like was your body though you knew otherwise "Yes, Yes I am up..." you felt yourself speak? what was going on here, your body stood though you commanded no-such thing, in fact though you could feel every sensation, the heavy armour like clothing on your body, the inhale and exhale of breath you where but a passenger... you felt yourself look around or "Logan" as the gentleman before you addressed whoevers body you where currently watching from, you where in a small camp in what seemed to be a dark village though you could see little but groups of huge men carrying the most peculiar weaponry, along with their stark white garb and queer golden helm which pointed upwards into the air.

_ "_Executioner Logan Sir?" said the younger man in front of you, also wearing the heavy white garb though without the Helm, "My apologies Edward, do you come with a message" you felt yourself speak again, the sensation becoming slightly less alien now, "...Yes Executioner Sir, Master Logarius has announced the siege on the Foul Rot-Bloods shall take place very soon, and you are to report to him immediately." you watched 'Executioner Logan' turn and pick up a very strange weapon; A sword with a hammer, the hammers enormous head sporting a short handle-like opening, you watched as Logan sheathed the blade in the slot thus giving the hammer a full handle, "Very well I shall go immediately" Edward gave a bow before scuttling away into another part of the camp.

strapping the Hammer to his Back you watched as Logan began walking through the camp, you had seen maybe 30 men all in stark White garbs, some had Golden helms on and some didn't, some had the same hammer contraption as you, whereas some had a larger Blade like weapon and a couple even had a gigantic wheel strapped to his back, eventually you watched as Logan approached and entered a larger tent, within stood three men, the first two seemed no-different than the others you had seen, white Garbs and Golden Helms, but the one lent down reading what seemed to be some kind of stratagem plan was very tall maybe 7 feet, he wore garbs the same in design to the others but his was pitch Black, some of its cloth being Brown, he was much more heavily armed, on his back he had a large blade-like contraption on his back, a smaller silver blade, like the one you had but instead of a hammer with a slot, it had a massive sharpened sheath which had a slot to put in the blade, he also had a smaller Sword attached to his belt its onyx blade made it hard to see but it was there, finally from behind you could spot what seemed to be the barrel of a golden Gun barrel, the man was older, having long grey hair tied in a militaristic knot and a thick bushy beard.

"Logan!" said the older man with an authoritative and serious tone "Master Logarius, you summoned" you felt Logan bow out of respect for this "Logarius" seemed to be the leader of whatever Logan was apart of... "Edward told you that the attack on our enemies at Cainhurst shall take place soon?" you felt Logan nod "Yes sir! give me the order and I shall rally the men..." Logarius gained a thoughtful look "yes, we shall have to do this soon, dark has just fallen and the Hemwick residents are no doubt beginning to defer our presence" Logan nodded patiently listening to his master "Now, before you rally the men, Executioner Cyrus and Kelley have been discussing out strategy for when we get into the castle; wouldn't want to be acting out with our lack of information..." the Executioner on Logarius' right chuckled "Wouldn't want to blindly follow foolish directions like that Fool Ludwig" Logarius grunted at the younger man, "That man may be driven by his faith but he serves the church as well as the rest of us and for that, he deserves all out our respect!" said Logarius passionately, the other gentleman on the left spoke in a grim tone to the right man ,"...Plus Hunter Ludwig could snuff any of us out in a heartbeat with that sword of his and his raw skills, Cyrus" Logarius again snarled at the two "Enough back to the task at hand.."

you watched as Logarius explained to the three Executioners the plan, they where to enter when night has fully shrouded the castle, and while the Cainhurst Inhabitants where dining and resting at this hour they would rush them taking them by surprise, they would push forward until they had crushed the King and queen, "Is that clear to everyone, regarding our other plans you already know the details" all including Logan nodded, though without context you remained slightly confused as to why they wanted to attack these "Cainhurst People" either way. "Cyrus rally the men, Logan and I shall take the front Line and lead the Vanguard for the siege..." Cyrus bowed to Logarius and then left the tent, "Kelley take a scouting party of six and check that the bridge to cainhurst is unguarded..." Kelley also bowed and left the tent leaving Logan and Logarius alone.

Logarius approached Logan and sat in a chair which had another opposite him "Sit Logan..." Logan did as he was told and sat before Logarius on the chair, a deviously cold and serious face came upon the older mans face as he looked at Logan "Logan, you have been my second in command for several years now and even after your years as a Crow. I know I can put my faith in you..." Logan Shuffled "...The Days of Hunting, the Blood-drunk are long Over Master Logarius..." the Older man nodded as Logan continued to listen respectfully "...but this mission shall likely be both mine and perhaps even your last, the things that may happen in that Castle, the things i may have to do... they could be horrific..." Logan stood kneeling before Logarius "My master, I shall serve you and the Healing Church until I am dead and gone, even if you where to slit there children's throats I would not falter in my loyalty to you" Logarius grinned "Our executioner brothers could all die after this ,this could very well be the end of our Kind, but we must defeat these Foul Vile-blood scum forevermore..." Logarius gestured for Logan to stand which he did, "Take this..." Logarius handed to Logan a heavy Iron mask, it opened with a seal which was inactivated "when we get to to the King and Queen of the Vile-bloods I Plan to to take care of the King, but the problem lies not with him, but the queen..." Logan seemed confused and so where you even more so than before but you continued to listen "...being of Ptumerian decent The Vile-Blood queen is truly immortal and cannot every truly die, thus when I fight and eventually kill the King, you must corner her in her throne room and trap her in that mask, it is relic given to us by the Vicar Laurence himself, it shall dispel the foul shrews evil..." Logan nodded "Of course master I can perform this task with ease-" Logan was cut off by his masters Grimm look "there is a much bigger sacrifice to this task my apprentice, when I deal with the King I will take his famed Crown of illusions and use it to seal and hide away the queen, along with a guard to keep her there: you..." Logan seemed unshaken by this task "My life for the Church master Logarius..." said Logan, making Logarius grin "I am proud of you Logan, remember that always, now we should get to the task at hand before we run out of time...
