:
Do you know why you are here?

Asked the voice with no source, X looked around nervously in the dark for the source of this voice. He couldn’t see anything though. He felt something though, as if he were at home. He walked a couple of paces only for his shin to crash into what he assumed was his coffee table. He cursed under his breath as he wished he could see. Suddenly the world around him came to life and he just so happened to be in the living room of his home. The only light was that of the sun shining through the windows. X walks over to a window to open the curtains to shed more light into the room. After doing so he turns around and suddenly freezes.

X:
How did you get into my house?

The man standing in front of him simply smiles as he walks over to a couch and sits on it. X is unsure of how to respond so he stands in the same spot he was frozen in earlier. He changes his stance slightly to that of a defensive kind. The man simply looks around the room and seems to judge it based on his facial expressions.

:
For a man who comes from such a rich and famous family, you certainly don’t live like it. Now, I can respect that, but why live in such a way? Did your father not give you everything you could ever want? What about your mother? Has she not taught you to live true to yourself? Are you telling me that a young man such as yourself who was brought into wealth and fame does not want to live in that same fashion?

Xander raised his hand asking for silence. The mysterious man complied with no complaints.

X:
First things first, who are you? Secondly, why are you here? If you are here to criticize how I live I would kindly ask you to leave. What my parents had is not what I have. Unlike most of the people in my clan, I live my life rather peacefully. I see no reason to live with riches that were not mine. My parents had a lot of money; they worked very hard for that money I am sure. Much like them, I am earning my money. Everything you see in my home is what resembles me the most. These couches resemble a humble man. Everything in this home has been paid for with money I earned through blood, sweat and tears. Now tell me who you are before I get angry.

The man threw his arms up in a mock impression that he was frightened.

:
I’m only here to give you a message. I have no idea what it says, I have no plans on knowing what it is. It’s for your eyes only. I may look like a slum, but I can assure you I am an honest man. Name’s Christopher.

Suddenly a flood of emotions hit Xander all at once. He was unsure of how to respond to it when suddenly the world around him dissolved away. It was as if a vacuum was sucking up his world into a vortex he could not see. He couldn’t move, he could only look on helplessly as his home and the man known as Christopher became nothing more than memories. Suddenly a bright light illuminated from under his feet. His house was completely gone and where Xander stood there was complete nothingness. He couldn’t understand what had happened. He started floating. He was in a world of nothing. It was all white. He suddenly started to slowly spin sideways and backwards and every direction in between. It was nauseating. He felt a presence near him, but every direction he looked there was nothing.

Alec Cruise:
You’re a failure Xander! Why have you swayed away from what your life truly is? Why not live like the Cruise clan should? It is hopeless if you think you will find happiness or any kind of real success in the wrestling business.

X:
Stop...

Alec Cruise:
I have never been so ashamed to call you my nephew.

X:
STOP!

Silence followed as X began thrashing about sporadically. He didn’t know what else to do. He felt hopeless; he knew that wasn’t his Uncle. Something else was playing a terrible trick in this. What could it mean? Suddenly a man appeared before him. This man was clad in black and wore a crest over his heart that X did not recognize. The man walked closer to him, more than X would have liked. Suddenly the man stopped right in front of him. Roughly three feet was between both men. X knew exactly who it was.

Christopher Cruise:
Hello Xander, it is very nice to see you again. I only wish it was under different circumstances. You see, I couldn’t risk meeting you in person. Your mother and I miss you very much.

X:
I don’t believe you, my mother died a long time ago and you betrayed the entire clan years ago! Because of you I am shunned by almost everybody save for a few. Uncle has been very good to me and has taught me well. I am now prepared for the day we are to finally meet.

Christopher Cruise:
I’d say you aren’t exactly prepared. Look at you now, hanging there helplessly while I stand here. I could strike you down now and be done with it. I know you have some kind of vendetta towards me. I don’t fault you for it, but at such a young age you do not truly understand why I did what I did. Perhaps in time you’ll understand. For now just know that the Council will not help you. I would actually like you to relay a message for me once you have woken up. Tell them their day of judgement has come and in time they will fall.

Suddenly the world around X went black. He awoke with a scream still in the passenger seat of the jeep. He looks over to see his Uncle exchanging glances with him as he also tried to focus on the road.

Alec Cruise:
Is everything alright Xander?

X:
Just get me to the Council, something is about to happen.
