In a dark place, one of the bullies started to open his eyes, he found himself laying on a rough ground made of spiky rocks, when he looked up all he saw was the sky colour being pitch black, red skies and there was no moon.
When the bully looked around him, he saw the other fellow bullies there at a distance, he screamed:
"AYYY FARACE, NICO CAN YOU TWO HEAR ME!!" Farace and Nico looked around and they actually saw him and headed stright to him, when they reached out to him they started questioning each other of what that place is, Where were they last time and how did they get here, but obviously they won't know and just kept asking questions.
Until a heavy voice from above a crag have spoken and said:
"Brutus, does that name ring a bell in your pathetic minds?" Nico then asked:
"Who are yo- AAAAAHHH" Zaryuk who was the one above the hillock have thrown his trident and it fractured the the Niko's leg, the other two were scared from what they saw and started running, but when they were running a wall have emerged from the ground pushed them back toward the crying Nico.
When they where surrounded by the walls, Zaryuk was walking on the cliff that is directly infront of them descending down and while deciding he said:
"I am the one who asks the questions in here you little brats and you! Will answer these questions and suffer as much as i want you to suffer, for the next four hours your limds will shatter a part and bodies will witness pain that is outside of your pathetic minds comprehension and when your bodiesare completely destroyed 𝙸 will rebuild them just to suffer again and again.
But i will be nice this time and i will answer the first and last question you all have asked, who am I? To put it simply, i am the call of justice, vengeance and punishment that everyone of you have earned for the many days that you have tormented the life of Brutus in.
and if I ever saw any of you lay another finger on Brutus wither it was with your hands, rocks or even your tongues, then know very well that in the next sleep, i will be waiting for all of you once again under the black skies and the bloody clouds."
At that moment Zaryuk have fully descended from the crag and stood right infront of Nico and here, the clouds moved a little more revealing a bloody moon that have been hiding behind the clouds this whole time, the moon have apeared right behind Zaryuk's head from Niko's point of view, Zaryuk continued his words and said:
"Under the bloody moon,...you...shall see me waiting for you...to remind you of your own place in society once again."

The time is 1:20 AM
Brutus started opening his eyes once again and he found himself in a random street with the only person standing around is Ahab who was offering his hand to help Brutus stand up, Ahab said:
"Hello little one, may i help you stand up?" Brutus without knowing what happened and didn't find anyone had to accept Ahab's hand, when he stood up he remembered the last thing he saw was his dead squirrel and started crying, Ahab said:
"Hey hey, why are tears going down?" Brutus answered with a twisted sad voice:
"M-my squirrel*sob* it's...gone." Ahab then hugged him, patted on his back and said:
"How about we take you to your parents now, also i need to know the name of the brave one can I?" Brutus asked:
"M-me?" Ahab replied:
"And who else who is brave and strong and didn't care to sleep on the street, no one in your age would have done that because they would be too scared from the gangs that are around in this city!" Brutus answered:
"M-my name i-is Bru-utus."
"No no no no no i want to hear your name loud and clear like that, WHAT-IS-YOUR-NAME?"
"BRUTUS!!!"
"YES now get on my shoulders and let's take you back home."
While they were on there way home, Brutus asked Ahab:
"What is your name?"
"My name is Ahab, i am a lost mad man who doesn't like to see someone suffering and stay silent about it and THAT is why i waited for you to wake up." After that They both were silent for a moment until Brutus said:
"Ahab?"
"Yes?"
"How do you deal with people who are constantly making fun of you?" Ahab was silent for a moment, took a long breath and said:
"Brutus, i will give you the hard truth of what i have gone through when i was at your age, ever since i was a child, and everyone in my school didn't hate me, didn't like me or didn't want me, they just wanted me to stay away as much as possible because they feared me."
"But why would they fear you? You are not a bad guy."
"Listen carefully Brutus, my words might be difficult for you to understand, so try to keep up with me as much as you can."
"Okay?"
"This world that we live in, is always against the good guys, it just have to do something that will make our lives awful because it will make us do that thing without realising that we did it."
"But why?"
"Why do you ask? Because it's cruel world that hates it when someone is living their lives peacefully without hurting anyone."
"Ahab, you said earlier that the students in your class have feared you, why did they fear you?" Ahab looked at the night sky, starred at the stars for a little bit and saw a shooting star and said:
"I dont know, but hopefully one day, i will know why."
