Chapter Text
He stared at the boat, his eyes looking for their target, El Presidente or Antón Castillo. He knew the man would notice a fake but if he had, he wasn't gonna show that he knew. he glanced at the kid next to Castillo, watching as the kid looked at the ground. The son of the president stood with his head down. A smirk found its way to his face. He turns on his heel, leaving his mark on the stone beside him. A sword through the head of a lion's skull.
He walked down a path, as it changed locations, from the top of the hill to a cave. candles burned around him as he stood in the middle of the candles that circled him. he placed his hand in his pocket, pulling out two things, a strawberry delight candy, and an orb of sorts. The orb lifted from his hand, glowing as he unwrapped the candy, placing it in his mouth as he waited.
"Jackalheim, it is good to hear from you." said someone from the orb.
"You too, Mr. Lawrence, Is Dante there?" asked Jackalheim, swallowing the candy after eating it.
"I'm here, Jackal. How is the mission so far?" asked Dante, his mentor, his father figure.
"Good, so far. I'm on Isla Santuario, in a cave. El Presidente's son is here too, he is just asleep." Jackal said, looking over at the boy that is his age.
Every time Jackal looked at the other boy, he felt the same thing. He has been in that spot before where his father was a dictator. Jackal remembers the battle between his father and the guardians. His father was malevolent, he had killed and enslaved many. If it wasn't for the guardians, then Jackal wouldn't be in that cave, protecting Diego Castillo from the boy's future.
"Good." Dante's voice made Jackal snap back to the present day. He looked at the orb as it went lower and went to turn off.
"I'll be fine, Dante and King Guardian. talk soon." the orb went back into his hand as he walked outside for a second.
Outside, he could see where the boat had crashed on the island. He could see a lady walking. He took out another from his pocket, holding it up towards where the lady was. He smiled when he noticed who it was.
"Dani Rojas, the lucky one. I would feel bad if it wasn't too far from the truth." Jackal placed the thing back into his pocket with the orb. turning when he heard Diego wake up.
"where am I?" Diego looked around before looking at Jackal. "Who are you?"
"Jackal, I'm not from Yara but right now I'm your protector until we meet the others or whoever," Jackal said with a smile.
"You are the same age as me, how are my protector?"
"You'll see."
