"Where is this artefact?" You ask the men. They once again turn to eachother, as if asking for the OK before answering you.
"There is a small village known as Le Meix just south of here. It's inhabitants have been wiped out because of the large concentration of chaos there. When you get to the village the location of the artefact will be obvious."
You take this information in before deciding on your plan of action. You will kill them all.
You place your hand on the shoulder of one of the agents, making yourself look as if you will go along with their plan. Suddenly a bolt of electricity is sent through the agent and he jumps backwards in pain. The other two pull out handguns and one begins firing at you you are hit several times and the world begins to fade to black as pain courses through your body. You drop to the ground and hear the agents mumbling something in the background.
When you wake up you find that the agents have bandaged you up and you are lying in your bed, starving. The ravenous hunger almost overwhelms you as you feel the need to eat something. You rush to your 'fridge' (It is really a box that you tainted a while ago to be incredibly cold), however, it is empty.
Still needing to eat, you head outside with the intent of killing something to eat, or possibly gathering mushrooms. Sadly, it is very dark outside and you are almost blown away by the massive gust of wind that passes by your house. You go on the lookout for a small creature to kill and upon searching the foliage outside your home you find a small nest of Wereburgers. For those of you that do not know, Wereburgers as small fluffy creatures that are harmless and very tasty most of the time. They do, however, have a tendency to occasionally transform into carnivorous monsters capable killing most things. You reach out to grab one of the Wereburgers but you are startled when it explodes into gore, splattering blood all over you and it's brethren. Still slightly shocked you grab another one and muffle it's screams as you take a chunk out of it's back. Ah, that's better.
You have nearly finished your midnight snack when you hear a rustling in the grass behind you. There's a good chance that it could simply be the chaos moving things about, but you check it out regardless. Once your eyes adjust to the darkness once more you notice that there is a massive beast sleeping outside your home. It's writhing black skin and growling snores unnerve you but you decide to take action against it nonetheless. You prepare to shock the beast, just like you did to the agent. You lay your hand upon it and concentrate hard before hearing it yelp and leap several feet into the air. You quickly make it levitate slowly upwards before leaping into the air and giving it another shock. After you release it from the levitation you find that it has fallen to the ground, unconscious and, knowing now that it is badly injured, decide to put it out of it's misery. You grab a spade from around the corner and beat it several times with the tool.
When you wake up the following morning you decide that it would be a nice change of pace to go and find this artefact, so you head to town. You march to the closest secure bus stop to your home (three miles away) and wait for the bus to come. After waiting for around ten minutes you hear a rumbling as the heavily armoured tank of a bus comes chugging quickly down the road, It's rusted metal plates creating sparks occasionally as they rub against the hot, tarmac ground. Upon it's arrival you realise that you lack money and as such need a different way on to the bus, considering how it the driver tends to carry weapons. You leap up onto the metal plating of the bus and slip in between the panels. Once inside you notice how there are very few people in there, four to be exact, and even less seats. You find yourself a nice and comfy corner before sitting down and passing the time playing with small objects on the floor.
When you arrive in Paris you quickly run off the bus and take in the sights around you. Massive, brown towers fill the sky and tiny objects rain down upon the see through plastic ceiling. You are immediately swamped by the rush of people and are carried away by the flow of humans, some mutated. Still, you know where you want to end up and become intangible to the people around you as you float through them effortlessly. You make it to your destination easily and just as you reach it you suddenly become tangible. You see a rather large and hastily scribbled sign before you: Edge's Travel Agents.
You enter the building through the dirty and faded front doors and walk up to the counter before almost whispering to the woman behind the register,
"I'm looking for Edge, where could I find him?".
She almost doesn't see you as she looks around for the mystery questioner, but just before giving up hope she notices you there, just visible below the table.
"What do you need him for, little guy?" She asks in what is possibly the most patronizing manner ever conceived by a being this side of Switzerland. You put on your most serious looking face to tell her again,
"I told you, baboon, I'm looking for Edge!" She is rather taken aback by this, but still manages to point to a door just around the corner.
"Thank you." You say before bursting through the door into Edge's office.
Inside is a man in his late 70s, working hard at planning something on a rather large map spread across his desk. He is placing pins with string attached to them on the map, as if he were planning a route through France.
"Hey, Edge, my man! Remember me?" You ask him in a playful but, to be honest, rather scary tone.
"Hmm, who are you?" He asks, before a look of sudden realisation comes upon his face and he is obviously filled with what is left of his worn down sense of fear.
"Yeah, you remember me, heh. You chuckle. Edge was the man who raised you when you were very young, and the man who threw you out of society. Although you have nothing against him now, he doesn't know that. "Do you know of a place called Le Meix?" You ask him in the scariest voice a five year old can muster.
"Y-yes, well, no, but I-I know where you can find out where it is. Under what used to be the Eiffel Tower is a massive map of France, it contains every known building in France. Once you find the location I can organise transport for you."
You don't even bother replying, you just head straight to the map of France. When you see the remains of the Eiffel tower you are truly surprised, when you left a year ago it was still relatively intact but now it consists of little more than twisted metal. The map underneath it is still in pristine condition, however, and you look about for Le Meix. Upon finding it you notice that it is a little closer to the LHC than you'd like, but you head back to Edge anyway.
He arranges a visit to Le Meix and you hop on the bus, after a several hour journey you get as close to the area as the bus will take you before hopping off. In the distance you can see a small, crumbling village.
What will you do?
