"Well, well... we've finally
managed to catch you, Alain. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to try
to find you and your little family since your escape from Vancouver... what was
it, three years ago? You almost had us lost, but... did you really think you could
lose the Wraiths that easily?" The older man's tone of voice was teasing,
yet oddly friendly to Alain. Cien, watching onward from his hiding place, was
frightened to tears for his father, hoping that he would make it out of this
dire situation. The older man began speaking again, slowly approaching Cien's
father, with a wily smirk upon his face.
"Now, I'm going to ask you something, and I'm only giving you a few chances... we seem to be missing a passenger, and I would like to know where he is. Tell me, Mr. Laguoire... where is the boy?" He was now standing quite close to Alain, who had looked down and grimaced in retaliation to the question. This did not please his interrogator at all, his face turning deadly serious. "You have to nerve to smile and say nothing? Perhaps you forget what is happening. Your wife is dead, and you won’t last much longer! If you tell me where the boy is, I just may show some mercy upon him. Perhaps we could even train the little one as a Wraith. I’m sure he would be of great service to us. Now, this is your second chance, Alain... where is Cien?"
Alain chuckled in response to his
question, knowing that the man and his cult would show no mercy, not even to a
child. He looked up to the man and said, "You think I'd willingly tell you
where my son is? I'd much rather die right now, Jann Garlan."

As the chapter's title implies, this tells us about what happened to the main protaganist, Cien Laguoire, 15 years ago. One of the main antagonist forces, the Wraiths, found the 5-year-old Cien and his parents and attempted to kill them. They succeeded in murdering Cien's mother, and as Cien watches from a secluded hiding spot, he watches his father's final moments. This event plays a major role in Cien's attitude towards the Wraiths, and shows how merciless they are as an organization that serves Lucifer.
I haven't done any more writing past this point, but I feel that I really need to crack down on doing more, so I shall be doing up the first chapter soon! In an old draft I did for this story, I actually had a bit of stuff written in the current day (or would that be several years ago? It does take place in 2007!) after the events of the flashback, and went on to write the first chapter which takes place after a scene transition. However, the original work I did on the first chapter was lost after an external hard drive failure, but at least I have something to start on now, and I hope that this new version of the chapter turns out good!
On another note, I'd like to add some information about the characters of the story! For each update, I'll do a little profile on each of the important characters in The Chronicles of Angelus, so you guys will get to know the cast a little better! Of course, I won't reveal everything about them, and these profiles are of the characters at the start of the story. So with that, let's introduce our main protagonist!
~~~
Cien Laguoire
Age: 20
Sex: Male
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 187 lbs
Hair Color: White
Eye Color: Bright Blue
Birthday: June 24, 1987
Occupation: Custom Auto Technician
The central hero of The Chronicles of Angelus, Cien Laguoire is the descendant of the Angelic hero Alexander Laguoire, who helped protect humanity from Lucifer and his Demonic legion, and the original user of Angelus. Being of Angelic lineage, he is actually part human, part Angel, which makes him much more physically fit than the average human male; he is surprisingly strong and has a lot of stamina for someone of a toned build. His shoulder-length white hair and blue eyes are also traits of his lineage, which was a trait carried down through his family for generations. He is quite handsome, though he has some youthful, fairer aspects to his face.
He is quite friendly and easy to get along with, and treasures his friendships with people, especially those who he is close to. If a situation comes where his friends are endangered, he would fight to his last breath to protect them. He is generally very patient, and rarely loses his cool. Cien is also a fairly quick learner, and can adapt to a situation with what he learned. While normally unflappable, he does have some ire towards Demons and their malicious ways. However, Cien has a deep-seated hatred towards the Wraiths, who had committed atrocities in the name of Lucifer, hunted his ancestors, and murdered his father and mother. He is willing to take any measure to exterminate this menace as vengeance for what they did to him and his family.
He currently works at the Black Cat Customs garage as a custom car technician alongside his best friend, Kat Mendez. He enjoys automobiles and working on them, and even races at the Laguna Seca race track as a hobby with a modified AE86 Toyota Corolla GT-S that Cien himself has worked on, and even earns some small prize money payouts in amateur race events. He is a considerably skilled driver, and is capable of handling pressure with a cool head.
Cien inherits the Angelus Crystal, allowing him to transform into the white knight, Angelus. He also weilds a family heirloom, the Mythmaker, which is a bastard sword that was wielded by Alexander himself and passed down through the Laguoire family, much like the Angelus Crystal. In terms of fighting capability, Cien is inexperienced, knowing only some basic sword techniques while implementing a more freestyle technique. However, he is still quite strong, and with discipline can become a quite capable fighter truely worthy of the mantle of Angelus.

That's all for this time. Hopefully, I'll be making another post on this blog soon with another update. Until then, take care, and have a good one!
