Massasauga"I've been captured before, as you know. However Felix's extended time out is dwarfed by some of things I've seen, I know what people are really capable of." Nemo leaned back into the table as he spoke. "Most people think murder is the most evil thing that can be done to someone. But as a killer I disagree wholeheartedly, I've found the opposite, the most vile things one could do often don't involve death at all. That's why I don't like seeing people captured." Nemo explained.
"I almost died once when I was young, before I had gained any of my abilities. I was fifteen at the time, I lived in a abandoned home outside the boundaries of a village. One day livestock began to go missing, then people. They began to suspect me, they thought because of how I looked, and my aversion to light, that I was a vampire and the cause of their misfortune. After the third person had gone missing, they sent a mob after me."
"First the mob pounded at my door, demanding I come out. I knew what they planned so I boarded up the doors with whatever I could at the time and hid inside. When I refused, they lit my home ablaze, forcing me out. I fled on foot into the woods for about... eleven miles before I was caught. Then I was told what my fate would be, a stake through the heart." Nemo said, pausing afterwards.
"Getting staked is an experience... worse than I originally imagined. It's not like getting stabbed, that's much quicker and easier. In my case they hammered it into my chest with a mallet. Each hit is like getting stabbed all over again. I passed out once it was over, but I didn't die, to my own surprise. When I woke up I found out why. The stake barely missed my heart and instead collapsed my left lung. I could barely breath, not to mention all the blood filling my throat. I had to crawl about a mile before I could finally get to my feet. Then there was of course the problem of the big stake in my chest, which was equally unpleasant coming out. Finally came cauterization with whatever I could find for tinder out in the forest." Nemo recalled.
"I spent multiple nights recovering out in the forest, I had nowhere else to go now. But during that time I learned that the only person I truly had to count on was myself. That people we're cruel and barbaric. I learned that the only way to survive is to be even crueler, to show them barbarism that they couldn't hope to match. I promised myself I would never endure such a hopeless defeat again." Nemo finished before letting out a small chuckle. "However I always did find it funny, after I discovered my abilities, it proved my prosecutors right in ways."
