They had found the burial remains of what they thought was ThoraSara and ThorIan with their spouses. The man was working on what he hoped was ThorIan when he came across the ring. He looked at it closely then put it in his pants pocket. He moved over to where they thought ThoraSara was and he began working on that site. He came across a metal box looking around to make sure no one was watching he opened the box and found the white miniature rose. He closed the box and put it in his pocket too. He went to his tent to pack as they were leaving the next day. He changed his clothes and put the pants in with his dirty clothes. They had been at the site for two months and this was all he had found. He was glad to be leaving he was tired of this digging. Maybe what he found would get him enough money he wouldn't have to come back again. ^^^^ It was late September when he arrived home. The night he got back he got a call from a hospital. His brother with his family had been in a car accident. They were in bad shape and he needed to come, as the boy was not hurt. He went to the hospital and met with the Doctors. He went into see his brother. "Take care of our boys." "You will be ok and take care of them yourself." "Take care of them. Tell them we love them." "Ok, but you will be fine." As soon as he had finished saying this his brother died. His sister-in-law had died just a few minutes before. He took the young boy home with him. The boy didn't have a scratch on him. "Where is Mommy and Daddy?" "They had to stay at the hospital. Now go to sleep." A few days later a lawyer contacted him telling him he became the legal guardians of the two boys. He was dazed. He was wondering what he was going to do with two kids. Me and kids, No Way!! I don't mind visiting with them but for me to raise them forget it. Promise or not besides my brother should have known better. -----------------------------------Life Changes------------------------------------ The next day he got a telephone call it was from Irons. "We need to talk about the older boys education as to whether it shall continue now that his parents are dead." "Mr. Irons, I will inform you I have no intentions of raising the boys. I plan to put them in a orphanage as soon as possible so they can be adopted. My apartment is too small and I can't afford to raise them. Please bring him here as soon as it is convenient for you to do so." "I would like to meet with you before you make any arrangements. Could I meet with you today in about an hour?" "Sure, why not." ^^^^ A short time later Irons arrived at his apartment. "Come in and have a seat, Mr. Irons. Tell me what you have on your mind?" Irons watched the small boy play with building blocks for a moment. "How old is the boy? Is he potty trained?" "He'll be two on the eleventh. Yes, since he was a year old." "May I see the boy closer?" "Sure." He went over to the boy taking his hand and brought him over in front of Irons. The boy stood and looked Irons in the eyes. "Where is my Mommy and Daddy?" Irons looked at the man. "I haven't told him. Have you told the other one?" "Yes." Irons than looked at the boy. "Your parents are dead. They are not coming back." He watched the boys body and facial reactions. "Why?" was all the boy said. "The car they were in crashed and they got hurt too bad to fix and they died in the hospital." The boy lowered his head one tear ran down his face and turned to the right looking at his Uncle. "I understand." Irons saw something behind his left ear. "Why don't you go back and play with the blocks?" He moved away from Irons and sat back down in the same exact place he had gotten up from. Irons watched. Instead of starting to play again the boy started picking up the blocks putting them away. "I will take the boy as I already a have the other one." Irons said. "I don't know about that? Mr. Irons." "I'll give you $100,000.00 for your concern. All you have to do is sign the boys over to me making me their guardian." "A $100,000.00?" "Alright $150,000.00 to ease your conscience? I will also back your little excursions that you make to Media." "Where do I sign?" he said. Irons took out the document and pointed "Sign here." "I'll take the boy with me today." He signed the paper and Irons gave him a cashiers check. "Give me a few minutes with the boy." "Bring him to the car when youre done." Irons left extremely pleased at only having to part with $150,000.00 he was willing to pay $500,000.00 for the boy. "Sure thing." He went to the boy. "You will be going to live with Mr. Irons. He can take care of you better than I can. You will be happier with him." The boy just looked at him. "Will you come to visit me?" "Just a minute I'll be right back." He went to his room and took the ring placing it on a string. He went back to the boy. "Here I want you to have this. I will visit you just like I always have." He placed the string around the boys neck and tucked the ring inside his shirt. "Now, it's time to go." "Ok." They left and went to the car. The boy climbed into the car and sat down saying nothing. He didn't even look out the window as they drove away. He just looked straight ahead. ^^^^ (Time moves forward to November 11th.) I saw Irons and the boy in his living room. Irons was reading and the boy was coloring. The boy stopped and stood up with a piece of paper in his hand. He went an stood in front of Irons and waited. Irons looked up. "What is it?" The boy held out the paper to him. Irons took it and looked at the perfectly drawn and colored Birthday cake for a moment. "What is this?" "It's my Birthday cake, today is my Birthday!" he said smiling. "It is, is it?" Irons took the paper tore it up and threw it into the fire. He then backhanded the boy sending him to the floor. "You have no Birthdays anymore or any other special days for that fact! You understand me!" The boy rubbed his cheek and answered "Yes, Sir" as a tear slid silently down his face. The boy pick himself up and went back to the exact place he had been sitting. He began picking up the crayons and paper without a sound. ^^^^ The buzzer went off and I jerked awake hitting my head. I was stiff and it took me several minutes to be able to move around to get my left arm out from behind my back to open the top. "It's about time. Ian! Since you have soiled yourself. Go shower and dress in the clothes I have left for you. After that you will go to the juice bar and open the icebox and drink the bottle with your name on it. I will allow you one hour to complete this. You will then go to the treadmill." I replied "Yes, Master." I finished getting out of the box and slowly headed for the shower and my left leg was still very sore from being dislocated for the second time. I was glad that he was allowing me to shower as I had indeed soiled myself in my sleep. I thought about what I had seen and "why was I seeing it? What did it mean?" As I showered this quote came to me. "Quick is the succession of human events: the cares of to-day are seldom the cares of to-morrow; and when we lie down at night. We may safely say to most of our trouble, 'Ye have done your worst, and we shall meet no more.' " by Cowper

I went to the juice bar and got out the bottle with my name on it. When I opened it the contents smelled foul. I drank it and it tasted like it smelled. I then went to the treadmill next to the weights. "Ian, you will place one hundred and fifty pounds on your body. Then step onto the treadmill and hit start. I have already programmed it for you. The program will shut off the treadmill when it is completed. You know the consequence for not completing this level." "Yes, Master." "By the way if you should stumble or touch the rails or look down you lose." ^^^^ I placed seventy-five pounds on my right leg and twenty-five on the left. I placed fifty pounds around my waist, forty pounds on my left arm and ten pounds on my right. I took a deep breath, stretched my body, and focused my mind on running just run, step after step, dont think how far, just one step then another. I stepped up on the treadmill and touched the start button then focused on the wall in front of me. I saw in my minds eye me running down a country lane breathing in the fresh sweet air. The program started me off walking fast at 2.5 mph at an incline angle of 5 degrees for half and hour. Next, I was jogging at 4.5 mph at an incline of 10 degrees for two and half hours. My stomach began to churn and cramp. I refocused on my breathing and thinking on the pleasant jog in I was having in the country. The speed began to increase and I was running at 6.5 mph at an incline of 15 degrees. My stomach was cramping more and I had belched up some of the stuff I had drank earlier. I swallowed it back down. I had been running for an hour and a half when he spoke. "Ian, you may ask a question." "Master, did you or did you have my Uncle killed?" "Are you guessing he is dead?" "Master, you once told me I had no family so he must be dead?" "You are correct he is dead. He was killed in a plane crash as he was heading back to Media." The Uncle had taken the metal box with the miniature rose to a antique dealer and was told it wasn't worth anything. He took it to a pawnshop and got ten dollars for it. He decided to go back to Media and see if he could find some more objects to steal. "Is your stomach cramping, Ian?" "Yes, Master." "Good then what I have given you is working." My pace was increased to 7 mph and the angle to 20 degrees for the next hour and a half. I was finding it more and more difficult to focus as my stomach was starting to really cramp and I had belched up more and more of that stuff he had me drink. I was becoming physically ill from it. I could tell my temperature was rising as my body was trying to fight off whatever it was he gave to me. My breathing began to become rapid. "You may ask another question, if you can? he jeered." "Master, does the ring I wear have any meaning to it?" "No, Ian. It was just something your Uncle gave to you before he gave you to me. How is your stomach doing now?" "Master, it is cramping quite bad." "Good, good then the poison is starting to work." My pace was increased to 8.5 mph at an angle of 30 degrees. I was now on a dead run. I was having a hard time breathing as my chest began to constrict and my stomach cramped. My legs were aching and my feet had started to bleed I kept saying to self one step, then another, then another, push past pain just running nothing else but running. Another hour and a half past. The speed and incline decreased until I was now walking slowly, this continued for half an hour. My clothes were soaking wet from the sweat. Not only was my stomach hurting from the cramping, my head was exploding from pain and I had a high temperature. Another half hour passed before the treadmill stopped. "You may step off the treadmill and remove the weights. Eat or drink nothing. You will come to the studys bathroom tomorrow at ten." "Yes, Master" I said, as if I would want to eat anything. I removed the weight as quickly as I could. Hoping I would not lose the contents of my stomach which I thought he was hoping would happen so I would lose. I went to the room and headed straight for the bathroom. I could no longer stop myself from losing the contents of my stomach. Every ounce of what I drank was coming up. I wanted it out of me as soon as I could. I felt the poison had begun to work, what was left needed to be gotten out. I spent the next hour heaving in the toilet. I was physically, emotionally, and nearly spiritually spent. My head was exploding and my throat was raw. My temperature was very high and I was dehydrating. I had little strength and managed to reach in an turn on the shower. I crawled in and laid there. If I could not drink anything the water running over me would help me from becoming completely dehydrated. I fell asleep.

The boy had picked up the crayons and paper replacing them to where he had gotten them. He then returned to where he had been and sat down with his head down. He looked at the ring his Uncle had given to him and began to study it. As he looked into the eye of the Gargoyle. I was transported to when Jaganmata had given ThoraSara the ring. I heard "The Witchblade will know this ring when the true Protector wears it." I was returned to watching Irons and the boy. ^^^^ "What are you doing?" The boy was startled and dropped the ring back to its resting place. He did not raise his head. "Looking at the ring, Sir." "Come and give it to me then go to your room. Your lessons begin tomorrow." He got up and took off the string from around his neck and put it in Irons' hand without looking at him. He blurted out "Where is my brother?" Irons back handed the boy again on the same cheek as before. There was a welt on his cheek from the last time. Only this time the boy remained standing. He had expected to be hit and planted his feet. Irons grabbed his chin forcing the boys face toward him. He tightened his grip on the boys face expecting the boy to winch. The boy kept his face blank and his eyes down. Tears were forming in his eyes and he did not want Mr. Irons to see them. "Look at me!" he ordered. The boy raised his eyes and a tear slid down his cheek. "You will not speak unless you are asked a question or you are told to do so. Understand?" "Yes, Sir." Irons violently released his face. The boy continued to look straight ahead not moving his eyes. "Learn your place quickly Young Nottingham or else!! Go to your room, NOW!" The boy backed out of the room and walked to his room with his head down. Tears now freely flowed down his face. <<<<<The boy was me!! I had been watching, ME!!!!!>>>>>> ^^^^ I woke with a start. I was shivering. I sat up and turned off the water. Lifting myself up I managed to stand as I leaned against the wall. I removed the wet clothes and dried myself off. I shakily walked to the bedroom and grabbed my clothes. My stomach was so sore from the churning of the poison and then me heaving I didn't think it would stop. I sat on the bed and struggle with getting dressed. I was exhausted pulling myself up on to the bed further I just managed to pull the comforter over me before I fell asleep. I fell into a deep sleep. Not able to process what I had saw and learned. As I slept I continued to have a high fever. I began to sweat and my clothes became soaked. I was sweating out the poison he had given me. About seven o'clock I woke up and the fever had broken. I got up and showered again. I changed my clothes and took the comforter off the bed and laid it by the fire to dry. The staff would not be here to change the bedding as Irons had instructed me after Mr. Guides had left to tell all the staff to take the next twelve days off and take their vacations. If they did not leave the Estate they were to remain in the East wing and not enter the rest of the house. With them out of the way there was no one to interfere with his plans for me. Although I think he hoped Lady Sara would find out what he was doing to me and come to me. I thought about what I saw as I had slept earlier. The boy I had seen was me. Now, I knew how I came to live with Irons. How could my Uncle sell me for $150,000.00? I also knew how my parents died and why my birthday was not celebrated. ^^^^ I wondered what he had in store for me today as there was only today and tomorrow left. I'm sure it will be painful so I decided I had better meditate to prepare myself for the day. I had not eaten in ten days the only things I had had was the water I drank after the graves, the one ounce of water after the freezer and seizure then the six ounces of that poisonous drink yesterday. Even if he had allowed me to eat or drink now, I don't think I could have kept anything down. I sat down in front of the fireplace to prepare myself to meditate. I heard Lady Sara call to me.

I have been so swamped and by the I get home at night I am dead tired." "I am fine Lady Sara. I have been busy as well. How are your cases coming?" "As I said, we have found that a Rashid Stone had contact with the twelve missing men. That he was an accomplished Martial Arts instructor among other things. He had a Military background in the Special Forces: beginning with the Seals, Green Berets, Special Ops and the list goes on. It's a good thing our new Captain has some pull with the Government. Otherwise we would be dead in the water with this case. Our problem now, is that he just seemed to disappear for several years then he just reappeared out of the blue for a day. The Government didn't even know what happened to him. Now, he has disappeared again." "Lady Sara, He was employed by Irons." "What? No way." "He was the man who trained me under Irons direction." "It can't be true, Ian. This man was highly decorated by the Government. He wouldn't have anything to do with Irons." "M'lady Irons had his hand in many things and I'm sure his hand was in the Military too. Rashid Stone was my teacher for many years. He started my training when I was ten and returned me to Irons when my training was completed fifteen years later." "Well, that does explain why he dropped out of sight and why you can do the things you do. Irons must have paid him very well." "I'm sure he did M'lady. How is your partner doing? Is he becoming more of a help to you?" "Yea, believe it or not he has actually come a long way in a short period of time. He's no Danny but, he is good in his own way though. Have you found anything more about who you are?" "Yes. I have learned much about the history of our weapons and how they came to be here in the US. I found out that my parents and Uncle are dead. Irons didn't kill or have them killed. I also, found out my parents gave my brother to Irons for his education they thought but, it was only a pretence for Irons to get a hold of him because he thought he could make him into the Protector. After my parents were killed in a car crash my Uncle sold me to Irons." "He did what!" "My Uncle sold me to Irons for $150,000.00 and Irons became his silent supporter for my Uncle to steal artifacts from archeological dig sites in other countries. I will continue my search today. I only have the study and library to search. "Ian, I am sorry about your parents. You only have two days how will you manage to search those huge rooms?" "I was taught to speed read and the armband has also guided me at times to the information. I will be fine. I shall see you soon and this will be put to rest one way or the other. I must let you go so I may start searching." "Ok. But you be careful and good luck." "Thank you and you do the same. I hope the information I gave to you will help. Good bye." "Maybe it will help. Bye Ian, I love you." "I did not respond back. I needed to prepare myself for what might come. I began to breath slow and deep with my eyes closed.

'Whilst thou livest keep a good tongue in thy head.' by Shakespeare. 'The guard dies, but never surrenders.' by Rougemont." ^^^^ As Leona was leaving Media a young boy kept begging her to buy a necklace he had found. "Pleases Lady, buy the pretty necklace so I can buy food. Please, Lady, Please!" "Alright, she gave him two American dollars which was like gold to him." "Thank you, Thank you, you have fed my whole family for several weeks. Thank you." He handed her the necklace. Leona put it in her pocket without even looking at it and went to board the plane. After arriving at the airport she haled a taxi to take her home. She reached in the pocket and felt the necklace. She pulled it out and looked at it. What a piece of junk she thought. They had just passed a pawn shop. "Pull over and wait" she said. The man pulled into a parking spot about twelve cars down from the shop. "I will be right back." She went into the shop and put the necklace on the counter. "What will you give me for this." The man looked at it and told her six dollars. "I'll take it." She went back to the taxi. Not bad, I paid two and made four bucks. The man put the necklace in the window just down from the metal case. ^^^^ As I meditated, I replayed in my mind how I got the necklace and the metal case with the rose. I was on errands for Irons. I saw the necklace first after depositing some money in the bank for him one time and saw the metal case the next time I deposited more money. I had been drawn to them. When I saw them I thought of Lady Sara. Why did I choose the metal case? I understand about the necklace because it is part of our weapons. But why the metal case? I came out of my trance it was nine-thirty. I headed for the study. ^^^^ "So you have made it through the night. How's the stomach?" "Yes, Master. Very sore, Master." "You will remove all your clothes and step into the shower. You remember all the sever wounds you have received fighting my chosen Special Ops man (he was one of the Black Dragons), the Bluegray Badgers and the Emerald Eagles?" "Yes, Master." "You will inflict those same wounds to yourself. Except for the gunshots to your upper body. In this case you will cut your chest deeply for each of the shots you received. As for the other gunshots you will stab yourself in the same place you were shot. You will remain here for thirty-six hours. I will allow you one falter to your knees after twenty-four hours. Should you complete this level you will have your answers. Do you understand?" "Yes, Master." "Then begin! You may cry out if you wish. It will not be held against you." I removed my clothes and folded them. I stepped into the shower and picked up the dagger with my left hand. I began with the injuries I had received from his Special Ops Black Dragon man. I stabbed myself in the outside right biceps to the bone and pulled the dagger out. I then reached over my left shoulder and placed the tip of the dagger about midway down it and pierce my back drawing the tip up until it came to the top of my shoulder. I was gritting my teeth and held my breath making no sound. I then placed the dagger in my right hand. The next wound was a slash just under the left rib cage to chest, a two-inch gash in left side, and the final injury I had received by him was a stab to my upper left thigh almost through the leg. I pulled the dagger out and laid it back in the place I had picked it up from. I had cut several blood vessels and muscles. I was bleeding fairly well. I stood there with my head bowed and waited for the time to pass. I thought about what my Uncle had done to me. I did not have a better life living with Irons as he said I would. I had no life. I would have been better off in an orphanage. I started to become upset and angry. "Act well at the moment and you have preformed a good action to all eternity" by Lavaler. "Do not let the past make you bitter now. What's done is done and cannot be changed by bitterness, Ian. Let it go and remember the good times." After I heard that I took a full deep breathe and let go of the bitterness as I exhaled. ^^^^ "Ian you may ask two questions." "Master, What are my parents names? Is my name really Ian Nottingham?" "You have not yet earned the answers to those questions. You will run a warm shower and wash until your blood flows freely again. Then you will continue with the next set." "Yes, Master." I started the shower and washed. The wounds had started to close now opened back up. As I did this I was taken to Annar as he gave ThorIan the metal case with the rose. "This will show your love to the Wielder forever. When she looks at it she will remember your love for her." I knew why I was drawn to the metal case, now. ^^^^ I turned off the water and picked up the dagger with my right hand. The temperature in the bathroom was increased until it read eight-five degrees. The heat was causing my heart to beat faster pumping more blood there by causing me to bleed out at a faster rate. I started sweating which mingled with the blood causing more pain. I started with the first wound to the last one I received by the Bluegray Badgers. I drew the dagger from my right ear over my jawbone and down my neck ending at my shoulder. I made several slashes to my lower back. I buried the dagger through my right bicep. I made several minor cuts to my legs for abrasions, made slice in right shoulder for Stones Edge move, sliced right upper arm into the muscle, stabbed my right leg threw the muscle then made a eleven-inch gash on the inside of the right thigh. I made three slashes to my chest for the gunshots and lastly I sliced open my stomach. I made no sounds as I inflicted the wounds. I laid the dagger back down. The pain was great and my head was beginning to fog. When I received my injuries the first time my thoughts were occupied with saving Lady Sara. My mind did not have a chance to recognize the injuries and pain until she was safe and it had taken four hours for that to happen. I had nothing to redirected my thoughts now. I tried to focus on the quotes and the questions I would ask next but could not. I closed my eyes and just tried to keep myself upright not swaying to far. My breathing was labored because of the heat and blood loss. I found myself watching this happen.

Posts: 1784 (12/05/02 11:44:29) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	--------------------------------------More History---------------------------------------------- In 1966 Jara met Irons by chance in the English museum she worked. She was standing looking at the Sword of Evanmori when Irons asked. "Do you know anything about this Sword?" They had a lengthy discussion about the Sword of Evanmori. Jara sensed that she should not tell Iron all she knew. She did not tell him about the scrolls or the armband. He asked, "Do you know if anything else came long with the Sword when it was brought here to the museum?" "I wouldn't know, Mr. Irons." A few days later the museum was broken into and the Sword of Evanmori was stolen. Irons now had the Witchblade and the Sword of Evanmori. He had recognized the stone as being like the one in the Witchblade. He had learned earlier from Leona that there was a Protector for the Wielder. He now sought not only for the true Wielder but for a Protector as well. The Witchblade discarded Boucher after she helped Irons get the Sword of Evanmori. Irons then discarded her as he no longer had a use for her. In 1971 Jara at age fifty had moved to the US from England. She met and fell in love in 1974 to a man named Darcy Coal. When Darcy was thirty she gave him the armband. He was a good businessman but she had no idea that he had business dealings with Irons. They always dealt with each other through a third party. Darcy put the armband in the display case in their home. Jara died in 1994. (This man was Mr. Coal the man Irons had me eliminate.) In 1973 Irons had me and was going to make me into the Protector as my brother was not turning out as he had planned. The Witchblade would not let my brother near Him. One day I found the Gauntlet on Irons' desk. No one was around so I decided to touch it. I had just raised my hand to touch it when I heard. "Young Nottingham, what do you think you are doing?" I quickly dropped my hand and lowered my head. "Sir, I was going to touch the Gauntlet, it wants me to touch it." I knew I was going to be punished. "I would like to see you touch it. Go ahead and touch it, if you wish not to be punished." I raised my hand and touched it. I then with drew my hand. "Good, Good. Now go to your room and study." "Yes, Sir." Iron decided that day to start my formal training to become the Protector. I will make him be loyal and obedient to me only. He will only be emotionally tied to me this way. He will do my bidding in regards to Protecting the Wielder. He will help me control her. In 1991 Irons found out about the scrolls found with the Sword of Evanmori. They had not been in the case with the Sword when he had visited because they were being carbon dated. Irons sent my brother to retrieve the scrolls and bring them to him. After reading the scrolls, Irons knew he had the chosen Protector because of the birthmark behind my left ear. He also knew he needed the necklace and armband to complete his plan to rule the world. I now knew why the Witchblade secretly marked me and allowed me to places Him on my wrist. He had recognized the ring that the Wielder had given to her love and me as the chosen Protector. I was back in the shower the armband had helped me during this period. I would not have made it otherwise as the pain was great and I was loosing a fair amount of blood. The wounds were still flowing freely. I did not know how I was remaining upright. My strength was wavering and I was light headed. I looked at the ring on my hand. ^^^^ "Ian, how are you doing? Are the wounds still bleeding freely?" "I am still here and they are, Master." "Good, continue with the next set. You can cry out, Ian." "Yes, Master." I picked up the dagger again to continue. The first wound was to my right shoulder again. I place the dagger just to the left of the previous wound and shoved the dagger in. I clenched my jaw as the pain shot down my arm and through to my back. I had been shot in my right thigh just above the knee. I placed the dagger and again shoved the dagger down. The pain shot down my leg and I nearly went down but I managed not to. I pulled the dagger out. Two bullet had grazed my right side so I placed the dagger there and slowly drew it from my back to my front. I pulled the dagger out and dropped it back where I picked it up. I was swaying back and forth. My head was swimming and my breath was labored with the wound to my rib cage. I could no longer feel my legs the pain radiated up my back and through my shoulders. I could no longer even focus my mind or my breathing. I looked at the armband and thought I need your help if I am to survive. I felt the pain ease and my head was a little clearer. I was still losing a lot of blood but it was slowing down. ^^^^ "Ian, you may ask two question but not the same ones." "Master" I slowly said, "Where was I born? Was I born on 11/11/70?" "Survive this level and you shall find out. Now for the last injury. You will inflict the injury I gave to you. If you do not do this you will not know your answers." Thirty-five hours had passed just one more hour. I picked up the dagger and thrust it into my chest trusting the armband, Witchblade mark and ring would keep me alive. He had denied my request to end my life before and now he wanted my death. I pulled out the dagger and dropped it. I was having more difficulty breathing. I could not get a good breath blood was spilling from my mouth. I dropped to my knees holding the wound I just made. Was this going to be the end? I can't give in I must survive his trials. I must know. From somewhere deep inside I found the strength to overcome the pain. ^^^^ "Ian?" "Yes, Master. I sputtered out" "Do you know what todays date is?" Blood spilling from my mouth I replied. "Yes, Master. It is November 11th." "Get dressed. When you finish go to the fireplace mantel. There you will find your answers." I pushed passed the pain became one with it as I had done in my training that last day I gathered my strength, stood and dressed; most of the wounds had stopped bleeding. It was difficult to get dressed but I managed. I staggered over to the fireplace and took down the box from the mantel. I placed it on the desk and opened it. There was a piece of paper laying in it. I took it out and opened it. The top of it read Birth Certificate. I looked down at the rest of the paper it was blank. I went down on my knees as I said. "The Birth Certificate is blank." "Did you really think that I would tell you who you are! If you did you are a fool. Remember my promise to you ages ago. I told you then, you would pay ten fold for not granting me death when I requested it of you. I have fulfilled my promise to you. Happy Birthday, Ian. HA! HA! HA!" Lord Ormond Irons? I fell forward to the floor unconscious clutching the paper.

I was sitting in a chair. I was in no pain and my head was clear I looked around checking out the room. I was about to stand when I heard a voice asking me a question. I could not see anyone else in the room. "Do you know where you are?" "No, Sir." "Do you know why you are here?" "No, Sir." "Will you please state your name?" "I do not know my name. Sir." "What are you called by?" "The name by which I am called is Ian Nottingham. Sir." "When and where were you born?" "I was told I was born on November 11, 1970. I do not know where I was born. Sir." "What are your parents names?" "I do not know their names? Sir." "Do you know who that man is?" He pointed to a table that just appeared. I looked in the direction he pointed. "Yes, Sir." I then lowered my head and eyes. I didn't understand what was going on. I didn't know if this was another one of his tests. I wasn't going to take the chance. So I presented myself as his employee/servant as he had instructed me to do when in the presence of others. "Please state the mans name and relationship to you, if any?" "His name is Mr. Kenneth Irons. He is my employer. Sir." "Understand this, he is not your Master nor are you his slave any longer." I snapped up my head. How did he know this about me? Who is this man and where am I? I wondered. "Did he stab you in your chest attempting to kill you?" "Yes, Sir." "Do you remember when you were speaking to Atalaya after he stabbed you?" "Yes, Sir." "Do you remember asking if he would be able to harm anyone else and what was the answer given to you?" "Alataya told me that he could not harm me again. That many Guardians in the past have tried to end his reign of terror but that I had succeeded where they had failed. Sir" "This was the case and as long as you and the Wielder lived he would not have been allowed to return to this time on earth. Irons requested that he have one more chance to turn your heart. Do you understand what I said?" "Yes, Sir." "What does it mean then?" "Mr. Irons was granted his request and given the opportunity to torture me again to see if he could cause me to become bitter and hate. Sir." "That is correct. How is it that you were able to withstand the human nature to become bitter and hate?" "Sir, 'The best sort of revenge is not to be like him who did the injury.' by Antoninus 'Love which outlives All sin and wrong, compassion which forgives to the uttermost, and justice whose clear eyes through lapse and failure looks to the intent and judges our frailty by the things we meant.' by J. G. Whitter. 'The moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty and oppression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last.' by J. A. Froude These truthful statements among others assisted me in keeping my heart true. I do not know where I learned them but they have sustained me through all his tortures. I feel no hate for this man who tortured me my entire life and robbed me of love and family. I feel sadness for him that he is not able to feel the love that had been offered to him. That he allowed his greed to blind him to what is most powerful of all and that is the power of love given and received." As I spoke I could feel Irons gazing intently at me full of hate and contempt for me. I had not looked at him again. "You have spoken the truth of what true power is made of." "Here is the answers to the questions you have long sought for and should not have been denied. Your name is Ian Nottingham, born November 11, 1970 to Silas and Sylvana Nottingham in the town of Adair in Media. You had a older brother name Ivan. You may step down and have a seat. Your testimony is completed." I stepped down and took the only other seat in the room. I heard a pair of voices saying. "Kenneth, you requested one more opportunity to change the Protectors heart. That if you were able to do so you would be allowed to return to present earth and carry out your plan. If you failed to change his heart you would never be allowed to return to earth for all eternity. You were granted that opportunity and was unsuccessful. You are here by sentenced to serve out eternity stripped of all power in service to others here. You will be unable to resistance what you are bid by others to do. You will be unable to speak any unkind word or thought. You will only be able to do that which is kind and loving towards others. This is your punishment." "Ian, return to your world and do what you must do now. It will be hard but in your heart you know that it must be done."

"Yes, you are entitled to answers." "Who are you and why was he allowed to do what he did? Who taught me these sayings that helped me?" "We are the Father and Mother of all mankind. He was allowed to do you injury again as we believed it would further strengthen your resolve to do that which was right. That you would be able to defeat his evil for eternity. This was the only way for him not to be able to return to your earth and to prevent him from destroying Good. Your mother taught you to have a strong pure heart, no matter what happened in your life to always look there for the truth you would need to fulfill your destiny. Regardless of what Irons did to you; you always held on to that truth that was in your heart. The dreams you had were dreams of your parents. They were allowed to send them to you to help you in your time of need, as you did not have the Wielder to help you. Your parents are proud of you Ian. It is time for you to return." I opened my eyes and I was back in the study on the floor. My strength had returned and I felt no pain. I picked myself off the floor and looked at the paper in my hand. It was no longer blank. I now had the answer to who I am. It was now late and I would sleep here in this place for the last time. I went to the room only this time I propped the door open. I did not want to take the chance he would have one last program to keep me locked up in the room. ^^^^ I went and showered to remove the dried blood off of me. As I dried off I looked at my body it was full of scars again. I wondered how I was going to explain to Lady Sara what happened. Why she did not know what was happening to me or why I did not tell her what was going on. She was going to be very angry with me for not telling. I also had to decide what I was going to do about the laws I broke while under Irons' control. I dressed and went to bed. I slept peacefully for the first time.

I choose eleven different sets of Shurikens they included: Havoc Professional Throwing Stars, The Typhoon Professional Throwing Star, Mini Throwing Stars, Moon Professional Throwing Star, WaveStar Throwing Star, Ninja Dragon Star, Superior Dragon Star, Pro Dragon Star, Professional 6 Point Star, Easy Stick Pro Knifes with Sheaths, and Stainless Steel Darts each case containing eleven pieces. I gathered my two Colt 45 pistols and my three MP5s with all their extra clips. I got the papers about the history of ThorIan and ThoraSara telling about our weapons. I also gathered all the weapons I used to do the killings with. I got my coat and left the room heading to the study. I put everything down on a table near the desk. I went to the desk sitting down I took a piece of paper out and wrote. ^^^^ To the Staff, I want to thank you all for your concern and the offer to help me in anyway that you can. I only ask that you have a good life and be kind to others. I just wanted to let you know that I have found out who I am. Should the police contact you regarding me please be honest with them in all that you know. Do not lie to them about me. I will probably not see any of you again. Thank you, again. Goodbye, Ian Nottingham ^^^^ I went to the case of Evanmori and removed the Sword. I took it to the table. I placed the Sword of Evanmori over my head so the handle laid on my right shoulder. I then placed The Black Dragon Sword with the two knives in its Scabbard over my head so the handle laid on my left shoulder. I placed the Black Dragon Knife in my belt and I put the other weapons in my coat. I put my coat on and left the mansion. I went to my bike and headed to Lady Saras' place. I had decided what I was going to do and she was not going to like it. If I let her know ahead of time she would try and stop me. This was the only way I knew, she was at work, so I would be able to carry out what I planned. I arrived at Lady Saras' place and parked my bike. I went to the apartment as I had always done so that no one saw me. I let myself in through the window and took off my coat. I removed the Swords from off my shoulders and the Black Dagon Knife from my belt. I also removed the knife I always carried in my boot. Out of my coat I took my two MP5s with extra clips, the Colt 45 with the extra clips and the eleven cases carrying the Shurikens, and the Tanto, the 8-Headed Dragon Tsuba Sword. I took out the papers that contained the history along with my Birth Certificate lastly I removed the armband and my ring. I placed them on the table and found a sheet of paper and wrote. ^^^^ Lady Sara, Please take care of these until I am able to return and take my place at your side as the Protector. Irons has been dealt with and will no longer be able to return to this earth for eternity. Please know that I must do what I do to right the wrongs I have done. Do not be angry with me for not confiding in you. I knew what you would say and that you would try and stop me. Lady Sara I must do this and deep in your heart you will to. It is the only way for Justice to be done. I know who I am and what I must do now. Your, Ian ^^^^ I folded the letter and laid it on the table next I hid my things that others would not be able to find them.

Posts: 1784 (12/09/02 09:19:11) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts Message Me Connection Blocking Invite Ignore User's Posts	---------------------------------------Plan Put In Motion--------------------------------------- Sara and Jake had found out that the missing men were part of a unit that Rashid Stone had instructed. The men were loners and had no family. The only reason they were reported missing was because someone anomalously called the Station to report it. Slowly things were coming into place. Sara used the information I had given to her regarding Rashid to confirm that he was employed by Irons on a special assignment. Jake and Sara were looking into the other files that they had been handed. Jake had done some research on weapons that could kill at long range and the men proficient enough to making one shot that could kill two men. Hey Sara, you got a minute to listen to this and tell me what you think? Yeah sure, go head. What ya got? Well the shooting where the two guys were shot with one bullet. According to the Coroners report the shot was from about 1500 yards away but she cant be sure of the type of bullet except that it was an intermediate to a heavy caliber. The first guy was shot through the fourth Cervical into the lower Cerebellum severing the Medulla Oblongata near the top where it connects to the Pons exiting out his mouth. The bullet then entered the second guys upper Cerebrum traveled down through the upper Cerebellum then down through the Medulla Oblongata exiting through his throat. Both guys died instantly. You understand that stuff, Jake? Yeah. Well I dont, want to say it in English. Ok, the first guy was shot through the neck into the brain that regulates balance, movement, etc., it then traveled through the lowest section of the brainstem that controls heartbeat, breathing, etc. and exited out his mouth. The second guy was hit in the back of the skull in the part of the brain that controls the ability to read and vision then, traveled down into the upper part of the brain controlling movement then, down through the brainstem and out through his throat. I found three guys who could make that shot from that distance. And a list of 400+ possible rifles that have the ability to shoot long range. You have my attention. Go on. Ok, well the first guy was shot in what the experts say is the Apricot size target. It is the junction of the brain and brainstem that is considered the ideal target for achieving the ideal goal of one shot, one kill. The bullet hitting and destroying this point at the back of the human head will cause the person to instantly and completely collapse without reflex. As for the guys who could make the shot at the distance she thinks. I found only three: one is a dead U.S. Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant Heath, one is Kent Viskase whos in prison awaiting the death penalty and Mr. Franis Beauvais our dead bodyguard to Mr. Beaceloneta our other victims. This was a first class hit. I check into the elite forces of all the Military and found a unit called the Black Dragons. (= They were an experimental unit, drawn from all the services SEALs, Rangers, Force Recon. They underwent heavy psychological training, drug therapies, maybe even genetic engineering. Though thats unconfirmed. Anyone of them could have made the hit but they are all dead under mysterious circumstances. I even checked out Ian Nottingham and found absolutely nothing on the man, it is as though he doesnt even exist. Oreally, you found no information on him at all. Zero, zip, zilch not even a Birth Certificate. Ok, what did you find out about the weapons? The guns that are capable of this distance and destruction are too many to even name. There is no way to say which rifle it is because the bullet was so damaged when it hit the concrete after going through the seat and floor of the car. All I can say is that it is a sniper rifle with long range capabilities. I would say that that was a lot. Since that seems to be a dead end try another file and see what you can do with it. No problem. One file for the unsolved pile. Only for now, only for now Jake. ^^^^ I used Lady Saras phone and called Mr. Shallnot. I made and appointment with him for one o'clock. I put on my coat and left the same way I entered Lady Saras' apartment then headed over to Mr. Guides office. I walked into Mr. Guides office. "May I help you, Sir." She looked up and her mouth open a little at the sight of me. "Ms Boards, I would like to see Mr. Guides if he is not busy. Please. I am Ian Nottingham. Please accept my apology for talking to you rudely and the implied threat I made to you the other day on the phone." "Uhhhhh". She closed her mouth and started again. I am sorry. Yes, Mr. Guides explained a little of your situation to me and I accept. Let me buzz him and see if he can see you. Please have a seat. "If it is alright I just as soon stand. Thank you." "Sure." She spoke into the intercom. "Mr. Guides, Mr. Nottingham is here to see you." I had went to the window and looked out at the city. "Ms Boards, Please show him in. Thank you." "Mr. Nottingham, this way please." I turned and followed her. "Thank you." I said. I entered the door and Mr. Guides met me. "Glad to see you Ian. I found your message and put the items under lock and key for you." "Thank you, I was not sure you would understand what I wanted. Could I please have them now." "Sure thing. Were you able to get the information you were seeking?" "Yes, I was able to get the information. Thank you for asking." He retrieved the envelopes for me and handed them to me. I took them with my gloved hand. My stomach growled just as I took the envelopes. "Have you eaten, Ian?" "No, I have no money. He left me with nothing only the clothes on my back and my Bike." He reached in his pocket and took out twenty dollars "get yourself something to eat." "I can't accept that Mr. Guides. I owe you for keeping these for me." "Ian, you have been through horrible things under Irons' hands. Please accept my help. You don't owe me anything either." "Very well, thank you, Mr. Guides. "What are you going to do now?" "I have a plan but I need to work out some details first." "Is there anything else I can help you with, Ian?" "No, I don't believe so. Only if the police contact you just be honest with them about all you know. That is all I ask." "I will do that for you. Good luck to you." I took the money and put it in my pocket. "Thank you for all you have done to help me, Mr. Guides. Goodbye." I put the envelopes in my coat pocket and extended my hand. Taking my hand he said, "Goodbye and good luck." I left the office. "Good day Ms. Boards." "Good day, Mr. Nottingham." She thought to herself what a gorgeous hunk of a man.

I found an nearby restaurant went in and ordered some food. As I waited for the food I went over the papers in the envelopes. Irons had his hands in the Military developing drugs to enhance the soldiers abilities. He sold them the drugs that he had used on me. There were papers that involved illegal drug deals, money laundering, illegal import of different merchandise, tax fraud and high government corruption. My food arrived and I ate it hungrily. It was twelve forty-five when I finished. I paid the eight-dollar bill and left a two-dollar tip. I would not need any money after tonight. I rode my bike the short distance to Mr. Shallnots office and parked it outside. I lock the bike and entered the office building. ^^^^ I went up to his office and went over to the receptionist. "Hello, may I help you?" She had a big smile on her face when she saw me. "Hello, My name is Mr. Nottingham. I have an appointment with Mr. Shallnot." "She checked the appointment book. Have a seat and I'll let him know you're here." "She picked up the phone. Mr. Shallnot, Mr. Nottingham your one o'clock appointment is here. "Show him in please. Thank you." "This way Mr. Nottingham." She led the way down the hall to the last door on the left. "Thank you." "You're welcome." She turned around and left after knocking on the door then opening it. "Mr. Shallnot, thank you for seeing me." "Hello Mr. Nottingham, how can I help you?" "I don't want to waste your time so before we begin, I want you to know I only have ten dollars and a 1971 Triumpt TR6R Tiger 650 motorcycle to pay you with. I was controlled by Kenneth Irons and have nothing else of value. I need a excellent Lawyer and Mr. Guides recommended you to me. If you chose not to take my case I will leave now." Have a seat Mr. Nottingham. I know the type of man Irons was. I am willing to help you at no charge. Now tell me what the problem is and I will see what I can do." I took a seat as he sat behind his desk. "Please, call me Ian." I took the two envelopes out and handed him the one concerning me. "I believe this contains all that you need to know concerning my activities while under Irons' control. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them." He opened the envelope and started reading. I sat with my head down and my gloved hands in my lap. When he finished he said. "You do have a bit of trouble here. But I think I can help you. Do the Police have any idea about these crimes?" "Yes, they know about all of them, I believe. However, I don't believe they are aware that Irons was behind the murders or that I am involved in anyway. A Detective Sara Pezzini is heading up the investigations with her partner. It is only a matter of time before they find something that will lead them to me." I kept my head and eyes cast down. "Yes, I agree. I know of her work and she is very, very good at her job. She solves all her cases, eventually. Ian, will you please hold your head up and look at me. It is unnerving." "I am sorry, Mr. Shallnot. It is part of my years of training and I find it difficult to do otherwise. I know it is very troubling to others and I am trying not to do it. I know of Detective Pezzini, she has questioned me before regarding the case of the five injured men. She did not like my answers so held me overnight saying "maybe a night in jail will loosen your tongue." At the time Irons provided me with a alibi. I believe it may go easier on me if I turn myself in for these crimes. I plan on pleading guilty to all the charges and throw myself on the mercy of the court." "Yes, it would look better to the court if you turn yourself in. It will show them that you accept responsibility and regret doing the crimes. What is it that you want me to do?" "I would like you to explain to the Prosecutor the circumstances regarding my background and training. Ask him if he will request lenience and allow you to present to the courts the evidence of Irons' control over me and my training even though I am pleading guilty. I would like to court to understand why I did the crimes. It will probably make no difference in the sentence but at least they will understand I had no choice but I accept the consequences for my actions."

"Thank you, but a man who represents himself in court is a fool." "You are right, Ian. Do you have any proof of the beatings he gave you by his own hand." "Irons was the only one who beat me after I was returned to him from my training. I have this DVD of him beating me I took out from my coat pocket and the scars I carry on my body. I would also like you to give this to the Prosecutors." I handed him the second envelope. After reading the second set of papers. "I believe that Prosecutors will be very interested in these papers. He will be very surprised at this information and it may help your case with the Judge as well. Does anyone know about these papers? No, you and I are the only ones as of right now. Ian, would you be willing for me to take pictures of your scars?" "Is it really necessary." "Ian, it will be hard for the Judge to believe what you have described really happened to the extend you have documented. The pictures would help verify what you have written. I would like to know how you could be so accurate in the dates over the years?" "Yes, I will allow you to take pictures of them. I just don't want everyone to know what I went through. Mr. Shallnot I have a photographic memory. I remember everything he did to me and when. I also remember the names of each man I killed and how and when I killed them." "I have an instant camera right here and I will try to keep those that see the pictures to a minimum." "If you think that it is best. I will show them to you so you can take a picture of them." Mr. Shallnot took out the camera as I bent over to unlace my boots. He came around the desk and prepared to take the pictures. "What you are about to see is not pleasant Mr. Shallnot." I removed my boots, socks and lifted my pant legs. He took a picture of the top and bottom of each foot and each ankle. I put my socks back on then my boots. I told him the date these scars occurred. I then stood up and undid my pants to show him the scars on each of my legs. He again took pictures of each one and I told him the dates. I lowered the band of my underwear for him to take pictures of where the chastity belt had been and the scars on my buttocks. I then put my pants back on. I removed my shirts and he took pictures of my chest, each side, and then my back. He took pictures of my biceps, forearms top and bottom, wrists and then the psalms of my hand and the back of them as well. I told him when and how each scar occurred. (The Witchblade had reproduced some of the scars so he could see the torture I endured.) "I am so sorry you had to endure such pain by his hand." "I would rather not think about it Mr. Shallnot. What do we do now?" "We'll go to the station and you will turn yourself in. I will be with you. You'll be booked and arraigned. I doubt you will get bail so you'll have to stay in lock up until you can be brought before the Judge. I'll talk to the Prosecutor telling him what you want to do. I'll also give him this other information you have provided. Then I will come and tell you what agreement we came to." "How much time do you think I'll get?" I knew the answer but needed to hear it. "Ian you will probably get several life sentences with no parole or the death penalty. But maybe with this information it will be the lesser "That's what I thought. I'm ready to go. I'll ride my bike over if that's ok." I figured Lady Sara would take care of it for me, I hoped. It would also be the last time for a long time that I would feel freedom. When I rode my bike it was the only time I felt free even under Irons steel hand.

Jake started working on a file as he had just received the ballistics report on the gun used to kill him. Hey Sara, you know the file about the guy whose head was blown off. Well the report just came in and he was killed with a Barrett M98 sniper rifle with a .338 Lapua magnum bullet. I just pulled up his fingerprints from the FBI files. He name was Guard Gatehowel according to his rap sheet he was a hired assassin. But who he was working for or who wanted him dead I have no clue. Well just keep pluggin. Something is bound to show up sooner or later. "Pez, you think we'll ever solve all these cases?" "Yea Jake, we will sometime in our careers." Just as she finished saying that, Mr. Shallnot and I walked into the Police Station. Mr. Shallnot went to the desk and asked for Detective Sara Pezzini. The Officer pointed to her office. I followed behind him standing out of her sight. ^^^^ "Detective Pezzini?" "Yea, that's me. This is my partner Detective McCarthy. What can we do for you Mr.?" "My name is Mr. Shallnot. Am I correct that you are in charge of the following cases: several missing Martial Art experts, a Mr. Rashid Stone and several homicides involving mob bosses and their associates among others?" She and Jake looked at one another then at Mr. Shallnot and both said at the same time. "Yea? that's right." The Witchblade began to swirl and warm Sara's wrist. She subconsciously starting rubbing it. "My client would like to turn himself into you voluntarily for these crimes." "This is a joke, right." Jake said, starting to grin really big. Mr. Shallnot moved over and I stepped in. "It is no joke Detective McCarthy." The smile came off his face quickly as he recognized my voice. Lady Sara did not say anything for a few minutes, then said. "It's no joke, Jake." She covered her shock at seeing me. I did not look at her but heard her loud and clear in my mind. "What Are You Doing, Ian?" I winched in response. I replied to her "What I must do, Lady Sara." ^^^^ "Hey Sara, You want me to book him?" "No, I'll do it. You are carrying weapons right, Nottingham?" "Yes, I will slowly remove them and place them on the desk. You will find that these are the weapons that were use in the crimes committed." I said quietly. I removed the: Flying Dragon Knife, the Double Dragon Knife, a Japanese Dirk, a Serpent Dagger, a Power Dagger, a Black Dragon Knife, a case containing 9 Piranha Shuriken, a case of 10 Chinese Spikes, a Colt 45 pistol, a MP5 semi-automatic pistol with clip and a Steyr IWS 2000 prototype sniper rifle with clip dismantled from my coat. I kept my head and eyes down. I didn't want to see the anger in her eyes. What I felt coming from her was more than enough. Holy Toledo! Jake said when he saw everything. "Turn around." I did so and she patted me down then put the cuffs on saying you are under arrest for murder. She read me my rights and asked if I understood them. "Yes, Detective Pezzini. I understand them." I knew this was the hardest thing that she had ever had to do and it pained me more than I thought was possible.

"What have you done?" "Lady Sara, I broke the law and I must be tried in the courts for them." "But, Ian it wasn't..." "M'Lady," I cut in, "If I do not pay for the crimes I have committed even though I was ordered by someone else. How can I uphold that same law, honestly? I am the one who actually committed the crimes. The Witchblade has His own reasons for wanting me to do this! That is why He has remained silent. He was waiting for me to find out who I was before showing me what I must do. The armband confirmed His direction as did my Sword Evanmori. I know you are angry with me for not coming to you first and talking to you. I knew you would not accept the Witchblades plan without a fight. I did not want to fight with you over it. Im sorry, please forgive me?" "You're right I would have fought you. I have to think this through and I can't right now." "Check the Witchblade, He will confirm the truth, M'lady." ^^^^ Mr. Shallnot will you please wait here until I return. Jake picked up all the weapons and took them to the evidence room to be logged in for later testing. Hey Jake, what can I do you for? I need these all logged into the evidence room. Where did you get all the weapons? The guy that had them just turned himself in thats all I can say. What should they be labeled under? Just label them unsolved cases of Pezzini and me. OK? Sure thing. Ill do it right away. ^^^^ Jake returned to his office then he and Mr. Shallnot left the office and went to the interrogation room to wait. The Captain had came out of her office because of all the commotion by the other Detectives. "What's going on out here?" "Some guy just turned himself into Pezzini for all those missing person's and the homicides she and Jake have been working on." "Ok, which one of you is playing a practical joke, now? No one in their right mind would just turn themselves in for those crimes." "It is no joke, Captain. They're going to be in room #3 talking to him with his Lawyer right after he gets booked." ^^^^ "Remove your gloves, Nottingham." I removed my gloves putting them in my coat. She saw my hands. "Ian!", she said in her mind hiding the shock on her face. "What happened to your hands? The Witchblade had healed them." The officer began to finger print me. "Please Lady Sara I can not answer your questions, now. I promise I will answer them all. This is very difficult for me. It is taking all my resolve to remain here and not flee what I know is coming. Check with the Witchblade." ^^^^ "Man! what happened to your hands? Looks like a couple of spikes were put through them. Ha, Ha" "That is exactly what happened Officer," I said. He stopped laughing when he saw I was serious." "Gee, that true?" "Yea, that's right Jorun," Sara said. "Bet it hurt!" "Can we just get done here, we still have to question him. Ok, Jorun" "Sure thing, Pez." He finished up and took the two photos, front and side.

I did so and she replaced the cuffs then led me to the interrogation room. The Witchblade had stopped swirling. "Have a seat, Nottingham." as she pulled out a chair for me to sit in. "You're not going to remove his cuff?" "No." Jake said. "He came here voluntarily...." "It's ok, Mr. Shallnot I don't mind. Lets just proceed." Jake turned on the recorder. "State your name for the record." "My name is Ian Aleron (meaning Knight) Nottingham. I have been read my rights and understand them. I am voluntarily turning myself in, making this statement of my own free will for the several unsolved murders and missing persons that Detective Pezzini and Detective McCarthy are investigating." Sara stood against the wall and listened. "Regarding the following: a Special Ops man named Mr. Keeys, twelve Martial Art experts, and a Mr. Rashid Stone. Do you know where they are at the present?" "Mr. Keeys was also a member of the Black Dragons; I slit his throat. They are all dead by Mr. Irons orders. They were all cremated at Mr. Irons Estate in his insinuator. You can also add to that list a Mr. Darcy Coal, a Mr. Spine and a Mr. Chesrts they were also cremated." The Witchblade was swirling again and showed Sara everything I had said was true. "The last three guys were connected to the mob. Did you have anything do to with four other mob bosses, their associates and bodyguards?" "Yes. I shot a Mr. Countrywide and his bodyguard Franis Beauvais with one shot to the back of their heads from 1531 yards away with the Dakota T-76 Longbow rifle. I eliminated the other three crime bosses, 47 bodyguards, 45 associates and 50 bodyguards for a total of 147 not including the three above by Mr. Irons orders with my hands." "You want us to believe that Mr. Irons had you kill 164 men because he want them out of the way." "Yes, I had no quarrel with them. If you look closely at Mr. Irons dealings you will find he knew them all. You have made a mistake in your calculations Detective. I have killed 191 men." Their Captain was standing in the next room watching and listening to the interview. She could not believe her ears. This was the biggest break in solving crimes she had ever seen or heard of. "If I have miscalculated who are the others you are claiming to have killed." "I killed a Military officer with the Black Dragon Knife by terminating his respiratory function. ^^^^ Jake flashed back to the file he read. Respiratory function was terminated by the vertical insertion of a double-edge tool between the first and second cervical vertebrae severing the medulla from the involuntary respiratory section of spinal nerve clusters. He recalled thinking that this was not an easy thing to do to a man that weighed two-sixty and highly trained. He would have been hard to kill. Whoever did this was a professional and a good one. After some research with his contacts, he found out that, Its a technique used by the Mossad. Its too narrow a techniquetoo much room for error. Its too chancy. Too easy to miss, have the knife deflected by bone then it doesnt kill quickly and the man screams his head off. Whoever did this is either the luckiest guy on earth or hes trained to be something thats way beyond a normal field operative. This guy aint no normal man because he obviously dont feel fear like a normal man. Nottingham meets all those requirements and more he thought. ^^^^ The other men I have killed was a group of elite soldiers called the Bluegray Badgers thirteen in all, five Irish kidnappers of a Mr. Conchobar, a Captain Akins and five Police Officers who called themselves the Emerald Eagles, an assassin, and my brother Ivan Nottingham."

"The first 166 men, I was under orders by Mr. Irons to eliminate them. I did as I was trained to do, obey his orders without question. The other 24 men I killed was in self defense and the assassin I killed was to prevent the murder of Detective Pezzini." To prevent her murder? What are you talking about? Jake stood up and Saras mouth opened but nothing came out. The Captain just shook her head in disbelief. ^^^^ Mr. Irons sent me over to Detectives Pezzinis apartment to request that she meet with him regarding a private matter. When I arrived, I noticed a man on the roof across from her apartment. I went up on the roof and found him. I disarmed him and then killed him by sticking the gun up his Thats enough we get the picture. As Sara said this Jake sat back down. Did you happen to ask him any questions before you killed him? No, he was about to pull the trigger and I stopped him. I didnt stop to ask questions. ^^^^ Sara spoke wanting to change the subject from off of her. "Ok lets get back to the ones you said you killed in self defense. What would you like to know? Detective McCarthy. Do you know why they attacked you?" Sara looked up and said "I don't think that matters, Jake." "The Bluegray Badgers wanted to get to Mr. Irons and the only way to do that was to get rid of me. The five Irish kidnappers, I walked in on and I suppose they wanted no witness as to what they were planning. As for Captain Akins and the five Officers I don't know why they attacked me. By the way the one Black Dagger you found at the crime scene where the Police Officers were killed belongs to me and the one that killed Mr. Irons also belonged to me." ^^^^ Mr. Shallnot spoke up. "Here is a written confession with an account of everything that Mr. Nottingham was involved in. When the killings occurred, where they happened, who was killed, what happened to the bodies and why they were killed, Mr. Nottingham has signed it. I believe this is all the information you require to make your case to the District Attorney. I would like to speak to the District Attorney personally as Mr. Nottingham has some pertinent information he will be interested in." "Yes, I believe we have more than enough evidence to make our case, Mr. Shallnot." Sara said. I had been sitting with my eyes looking at the table. When Lady Sara said this, I heard the anger and hurt in her voice. I dropped my head down so I was looking at my chest. I had no idea the amount of pain this information was going to cause her and my heart was torn apart. I could not change what had been put into motion, now. ^^^^ Mr. Shallnot rose to leave. "Oh, I have a question Nottingham." He sat back down. "I questioned you concerning your whereabouts on May 6th of this year regarding an incident involving my partner Detective Danny Woo and myself. Do you remember our conversation?" "Yes, I remember. I was responsible for their injuries as well. I was on my way to the Estate and the altercation between them and the two of you blocked my way. I could see that your partner was wounded. You were out numbered and out gunned. In less than fifteen minutes you both would have been dead. When you ducked to reload I took them out." "Why didn't you kill them?" "I was not sure if you saw me and I figured you two for Police Officers by your weapons. I was late and wanted to get back. When I came in and we spoke Mr. Iron had instructed me not to tell you anything. He provided me an alibi when he found out you were holding me overnight."

"We'll be adding the five assaults to the charges you are already charged with. You understand that?" Jake said. "Yes, I understand. I am being charged with the deaths of 191 men and five assaults, Detective McCarthy. "I'll talk to the District Attorney Ian and tell him what we said. I'll be back in time for the hearing," Mr. Shallnot said. I nodded my answer to him. Lady Sara came over to me. "Let's go Nottingham," she said taking me by the arm. "I'm taking you to lock up." I got up and went with her. Just before we got to the door, McCarthy asked. "I have one more question for you." I turned and looked at him. "Why did you turn yourself in?" "While under Mr. Irons control I could not choose what I did. I turned myself in because it is the right thing to do. I also, knew Detective Pezzini would solve the cases sooner or later so why prolong destiny." "Let's go," she opened the door and gave me a little tug. We headed for lock up. "Ian, where is your bike?' ^^^^ "It's outside. The key is in my coat pocket. I left my Swords, Black Dragon Knife, my guns and clips, my boot knife, the armband, and the ring at your place. I also left my Birth Certificate and papers concerning the history of our weapons. We are still connected because the Witchblade marked me when Irons had me try Him on." She reached in the pocket and retrieved the key putting it in her pocket. "M'lady, I am sorry I hurt you. I didn't mean to. The Witchblade wouldn't allow me to...." "Ian, I understand. Even though I am angry because you didn't come to me first. You are doing the right thing and it doesn't change my feelings for you." "Thank you." We arrived at the lock up desk and she removed the cuffs. "Remove your coat and anything else in your pockets, belt and boot laces."

What no weapons this time." I took off my coat and laid it on the counter. I took out the ten dollars; my drivers license with the insurance card, belt, and bootlaces then gave them to him. "That's all I have." My hair had been loose the whole time framing my face partially hiding it so Lady Sara could not see the pain I felt. Lady Sara then led me through the doors and to a cell. She placed me in a cell by myself. "I'll do what I can to help you, Ian." "I know you will, M'Lady. I will be alright. I am just exchanging one prison for another. Only in this one I won't be beaten or have to break any laws." I don't know who I was trying to convince more Lady Sara or myself. She closed the door and locked it. I shuddered as the lock fell into place. "I will try and be at the hearing." I turned and looked at her. "No! I don't want you there. Please." "You have no choice, Ian. I will be there and that's that. Try and relax ok. "I will not try and change your mind; I have lost. I lowered my head and eyes. I will try, M'lady." I walked over to the cot and sat down. She left and I put my head in my hands. What do I do now?" "Rest now, Ian," suddenly drowsy I laid down and was sound asleep.

I am representing Mr. Nottingham who is charged with several murders and five assaults. "Oh yes, I am very aware of the case." Captain Compevien had called him to inform him of what had occurred with these cases. He wanted progress reports on them. He was very pleased with the information because it is an election year. ^^^^ Sara walked back to her office slowly, thinking 'what can I do to help?' The State has the death penalty and Ian just put the rope around his own neck. If he doesn't get that by some miracle, he will get the maximum of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. She looked at the Witchblade. "What are you planning? Won't you show me?" "It is not time Sara for you to know. You will have to wait." Several Detectives said, "What a break for you. Well done, Pez." She didn't want them to say anything to her. She sat down at her desk and rubbed her wrist. "Well Pez, we just got our desks cleared off with Nottingham turning himself in like that. What do you think of that?" "Jake, like the man said, 'Sooner or later we would have broke the cases and found him so why prolong destiny." She put her head in her hands rubbing her temples. "He sure has some balls to walk in here like he did." Distracted Sara replies, "Yea. Let's just finish the paperwork up, ok?" The Captain came to their office. "Good work you two." "Thanks, Captain," Jake said.

"No, Mr. Barns, Mr. Nottingham plans on pleading guilty on all counts and will place himself on the Courts mercy." Surprised he said, "He's not asking that any charges be dropped for turning himself in. He completely understands the severity of his situation?" "Yes, he understands completely what is involved and what he is doing. He believes that he should pay for each crime he has committed and that they should in no way be combined in expectation of receiving a lesser judgment from the Courts. I have tried to persuade him to take his chances with a trial but he will have none of it. His mind is set." "What is it that you want from me then?" "Mr. Nottingham only asks that you request a closed hearing for one. Second, that you request that I be allowed to explain the circumstances he was in so that the Courts fully understands. He wants the Court to know he accepts full responsibility for his actions." "Mr. Nottingham is very unusual then, most people in his situation would try to plea bargain. I have never in my career seen or heard of anyone doing what he plans." "Mr. Barns, here are all the facts and everything else pertaining to the case written out by Mr. Nottingham. He wanted to make sure you had everything you would need for your case against him to present it to the Judge." Mr. Shallnot handed him the papers. "Youre kidding, right Mr. Shallnot? This is a first the Defense providing the D.A. with all the information to prosecute his client and at the clients request. There is no way a man in his situation would ever do that." "Just read through the papers and you will see for yourself." He quickly read over the papers. "Is Mr. Nottingham a lawyer?" "No, he isn't."
