Summary
An unknown, haggard figure was kneeling on the lab floor, gripping what seemed to be a corrupted butterfly shaped hammer. His head was dipped down, his ratty hair hiding his expression from view. Jayce could barely make out the curve of his nose and lips; teeth exposed in a snarl as he muttered to himself just loud enough to hear over the hum.
“I refuse to fail.”
His gruff, raw voice had an animalistic quality as he spat the words out as if trying to reassure himself. It was then Jayce acknowledged his clothing–a formerly pristine white jacket covered in grime and a torn gray undershirt with dull brown slacks. An eerily familiar brace wrapped around his left leg, made of decaying yet somehow supportive metal. He looked like he had just crawled out of hell and survived.
“Who…” Jayce began to question before his eyes fell on the crest resting on the man's shoulders.
That was the Talis House crest.
Suddenly, the man lifted his head. Dark brown locks fell away to reveal haunted honey eyes that stared right through him.
“I won't fail.”
