Page 5 of The Dragon Cycle


  One thing is known, however, today is the day that Pollock Drake, the international terrorist was executed. He was to be beheaded in front of an audience and a camera. Usually, the government does not behead people, they send them to be lethally injected with serums that kill them.

  However, the government had to appease the countries around the world who felt that Drake had attacked them as well. They determined that the most common form in those countries was beheading and so decided to do that form of capital punishment.

  When asked to give his last words, someone busted in through the door. Everyone looked flabbergasted when they saw Agnes Zweck standing there. Drake’s whole body, which had been visibly tense until that moment, relaxed when he saw Zweck and said, for his last words of this life. “Sweet and Holy Purpose, do your thing.” In response to this, Zweck gave a slight nod that was visible to everyone.

  The president of the United States was in attendance in the box. “We warned you not to come back, we gave you the warning, but you chose to ignore it. Shoot her.” One of his secret service bodyguards took out a gun and shot her in the head. She was dead within 10 seconds of coming into the room.

  Drake was clearly devastated and distraught. He started screaming “You killed her, you killed her, you killed sweet and holy purpose.” His head was squirming and he was still screaming with the axe started going down. Within 20 seconds of the time Zweck came in, both Zweck and Drake were dead and the room was dead silent. In truth, the world was silent.

  Zweck, a woman who fought to help a man who destroyed her life, was killed. One of the most innocent people in this whole mess, a victim of this mess, was murdered for trying to help us understand forgiveness is an option. We don’t have to kill people for revenge, we should forgive them and then act accordingly.

  In the days that follow this double execution on live television, nobody knows what is going to happen. One thing is known, this is the first time that the whole world has been silenced by the same event.

  Chapter 36: 1/22/???4

  The following is a speech the president gave on the third anniversary of the destruction of Naga and Drake.

  I was sent two different articles of information. Both of which will change the course of how we think about our history. We all know that three years ago, two cities, Naga and Drake were destroyed in some fire. We had assumed that it was Pollock Drake that did this act.

  According to the first piece of information, Pollock Drake had severe schizophrenia that he was treated for. Based on this, when he went into his coma, it wasn’t a coma so much as a catatonic state because he was not receiving any medications.

  The second piece of information was from Bethany Anguloce. In a lost hypothesis that was only recently found, there is such a thing as firestorms. High winds that make a fire move very quickly from one place to another. In an e-mail and a video of the Liung and Tatsu destruction in China, the firestorms were real.

  Based on both of these pieces of information, it seems likely that all of the attacks that were associated with Pollock Drake, were not done by Pollock Drake. We, as a nation, have killed thousands of our own thinking that they were involved with Pollock Drake, calling them Drakers. The president even went so far as to create a war on drakonianism.

  We have killed many, but unfortunately, we cannot go back. It begs the question, why on earth should we live when we killed the only man who was innocent of all of this. We also killed the woman who was by his side and trying to help prove that he was innocent or at least not as guilty as we made him out to be.

  We, as a country, as a world, are at fault for all of this death. We are all going to hell for what we have done.

  Our purpose now is to create a society in which our children will not have to suffer as we have suffered. We have suffered from anger, fear, violence, and many other things. We turned to revenge in a time when we were being offered the chance to forgive. So, I must ask you to forgive me.

  I am sorry. I am so sorry.
