Deadman Apocalypse Page #4

- Right about what?

- You believed in me

when I no longer believed

in myself.

I lost hope.

Accepted my fate to

suffer in the shadows

of Labyrinthia for all eternity.

Your intrusion

reminded me of my...

younger, more optimistic self.

I never knew such

hope could exist

in that underground hell.

- What happened to you?

- I foolishly dreamt of

saving the human race,

but if I could save

my family, my son,

then it would be

worth dying for.

Every last tunnel,

destroyed by my hand,

and Ramses, scorched

to dust among

the ashes of his ancestors.

And every man he ever

led to their death.

- And you burnt with him.

- I am sorry Tegu.

There was no other way.

- Where is my son?

Where is my son?

- The boy wandered off!

- Liar!

You're lying!

- He went towards the

river, he went alone

once you were sleeping.

- If you've hurt him, if

you've even hurt a hair

on his head I will carve

your f***ing eyes out

and feed them to Brogdale.

- Do you give me the eyes?

- I promise you lady

I've only been watching.

- Watching?

Watching me for what purpose?

What were you gonna do to me?

- I never find people out here.

You're not from the

colonies are you?

- There are other people here?

- Of course, but

not this far out.

- Where, where are they?

- Back where I came

from, my colony.

My home.

There are legends, dark

myths of underground

civilizations, doorways

to hidden worlds

beneath the earth.

There aren't many who

scavenge for things

abandoned from the past,

if you can navigate

the overgrown territories,

all of our histories

scattered amongst

the trees and rock.

- He's not a threat

Alba, he's barely a man.

- These people, your

colony, they'll let us stay?

- If you were peaceful.

- We are peaceful.

- You are?

- I fight to survive

and I fight for my son.

- The colony could

use a warrior woman.

A woman like you.

- I'm a warrior

woman too, sometimes,

well I can be.

Whatever the colony

needs, we have friends

to repopulate the

earth, don't we?

- There are already too

many people to provide for.

- Perhaps just one or two.

- You hold him here

I'm gonna find Tegu,

then you'll take

us to your people.

- Are there women in the colony?

- Of course.

- Are they beautiful like

the feathers of a dove,

floating on a summer breeze.

- Not for you.

We have dogs for that.

- I don't know this place.

- You don't need me.

To be free of the

thought of giving up,

that's enough.

Whenever you hear the wind call,

hear the leaves

rustle in the trees,

know that I'm out here.

- Tegu!

Tegu!

- Time for me to say

a final goodbye, Tegu.

- When will I see you again?

- You won't.

- That was the

last time I saw my father.

In the brief time I knew him,

he taught me many things.

There comes a time

in a boys life

when they have to become a man.

That time brings great fear.

You may try to run from it

and the pain the

change will cause,

the devastation, and in

my case, the ending of an

old way of life, the

fall of our leader Ramses

and the rise of

me and my mother.

With the help of my father

I learned to never give up,

to keep on trying, to reach

my destiny no matter the cost,

no matter the fear.

Now we live in the old world,

to begin a new life now that

we're free from Labyrinthia,

to explore what the future

brings, now that we have one.
