 Book 1: Redesign
Chapter 1: Return of the King
Part 1: Late night (#NP: “Kiss from a rose” cover by: 12 Stones)
In New Orleans, it was another night where Sam wasn’t sleeping. He was on his laptop looking over some files Lucy had sent him. Sam sighed and sat back, grabbing his water and taking a sip from it. In the darkness Mel had walked toward the computer’s bright light. When she got over to Sam, she wrapped her arms around his neck and placed her chin on his shoulder.

Melanie: Babe, why aren’t you in bed?

Sam: I can’t sleep.

Melanie frowned and looked up at him. Sam turned slightly and smiled at his wife.

Sam: And why aren’t you asleep?

Mel had Athena (the younger), Gunnar, Erik, Embla and Kai asleep already; she had went to bed herself and was hoping that her husband would have joined her. But after an hour Mel got up to see what was wrong.

Melanie: You’re not there.

Sam chuckled.

Melanie: It’s after one am, the kids are sleeping and we’re not. You know we’re going to be sleep parents.

It was Mel’s turn to chuckle.

Sam: Where’s the future Athena?

Mel: I think she said she’s staying at the castle.

Sam nodded and pulled Mel into his lap. She rested her head against his chest and Sam wrapped an arm around her torso. He would always enjoy cuddling with his wife. His eyes returned to the screen and he scrolled down using the wireless mouse.

Mel: You’re getting as bad as I am.

Sam: I know, but my family is in danger and I can’t have that.

Mel: Danger?

Sam: Figured Lucy would have told you but, I guess not yet. Alexander is brainwashing people into taking the Magi-Blood out. We’re calling them Anti-Magi-Blood for now.

Mel jolted up, his eyes meeting hers.

Melanie: What?! Sam, this isn’t good.

Sam: Babe, calm down. Let me fix this, I won’t let anything happen you or anyone else. From what the Assassin squad had said, they have low numbers. I know we can take them out within a month. Alexander isn’t the smartest of people anyways, he’s not Anisim.

Sam could see his words were comforting his wife.

Mel: Being the man of the house much?

Sam: It’s my job, I know you don’t need a so called man of the house but you’re my wife. I promised to keep both you and our children safe.

Melanie: I know…I love you.

Sam: I love you too.

He started to stroke her hair and he felt Mel relax under his touch.

Sam: So could you explain to me how Athena got here?

Mel: What do you mean?

Sam: How did she get to our time?

Melanie: It’s better you ask her instead. I really don’t understand it all past the because Alexander screwed up the timeline and it got worse with Stefan and Tanja’s ordeal.

Sam: Okay…do you think it was smart to allow her to show herself in public?

Melanie: She would have done it even without our approval. I know Stefan was throwing a fit about it but who cares.

Sam rolled his eyes. He never liked Stefan, he did respect him, but after all the bullshit that Zeus had put them through, Sam would be willing to murder him for good.

Mel: What’s on your mind?

Sam: Nothing.

Mel: Also have you noticed Athena has looked different?

Sam’s eyes zipped down to Mel.

Sam: No…why?

Mel: She looks more like you than Stefan.
Sam sat back again and now he shut his eyes. He started to picture his daughter and saw what his wife meant. The face was slowly turning into one that look like his, her eyes were still Mel’s colour and both Mel and Sam shared the same hair colour.

Sam: Holy crap!

Mel: See what I mean, I think it has something to do with the timeline being messed up with.

Sam nodded, seeing where Mel was going with this.

Mel: Maybe at the end of the month we should have her blood tested by Michael.

Michael Anxo, Michelle’s twin brother and doctor. Sam nodded again but this time in agreement.

Sam: Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

A loud cry breaks out and Mel sighed. Slowly she got up and pat Sam’s shoulder.

Melanie: I’ll go see which of the triplets it is.

Sam: No, let me do it; I’ll meet you in the bedroom.

Mel lifted her eyebrow.

Mel: I’ll be there…love you.

Sam: I love you more.

With a snap of her fingers, Mel vanished in front of Sam’s eyes. Sam started to walk out of the den and toward the triplet’s room. Athena and Gunnar had their own rooms. Sam though couldn’t help but to smile at how his life was changing before his eyes. He had a wife, five amazing children, a crazy family and Sam knew who he was finally. He wasn’t the most perfect person but after fighting his whole life, he finally found his slice of peace. Sam snapped out of his thoughts and was in the bedroom, Embla was the one who was crying and he took her into his arms. He stepped out of the room, hoping she didn’t wake her brothers.

Sam: Shhh it’s okay, Daddy’s here little Embla.

The little girl opened her eyes widely and looked up at Sam. She had his eye colour and she smiled widely at him and giggled.

Sam: You are a Daddy’s girl aren’t you? Oh yes you are!

Embla burped loudly and Sam’s hair went flying. Embla started to laugh loudly and Sam looked at her wide eyed.

Sam: Lordy lord child…you are something else. You’re gonna run your brothers aren’t you? You know Embla, I hope you find yourself early in life. I know it sounds easier said than done, but I don’t wish you find it at my stage of life. I want you to grow up happy and knowing who you are. I love you for you and I love your siblings just as much. I promise, no matter what happens, I’ll keep you and your siblings and your Mom safe.

Embla yawned and looked up at Sam again.

Sam: Please go back to bed little one; your Mother is waiting for me.

Just like that Embla fell back into slumber and that prompted Sam to place her back in her crib. He walked into the room carefully and did so. Kai and Erik were out cold and Sam turned slowly. When he got to the door, he shut it carefully behind him. Sam started to walk toward his room and started to feel tired.

Part 2: Lise’s Oracle cards (#NP: “Caine” by: Tiamat)
Sam had to see Lise right now, something course through his body and for him, it didn’t feel good. Stockholm, Sweeden was where Lise Dusk, a fellow Magi-Blood was at. Lise was one of Melanie’s students and one of the members of the UWF stable the Aesir. The small woman seemed void of any emotion, kinda like Raven from Teen Titans. Before Sam could even knock, the door opened to the home.

Lise: Come in Sam.

Sam stepped inside and shut the door behind him; Lise walked into the living room from the kitchen, her hands brushing back her black hair.

Lise: What’s wrong?

Sam: Lise, something’s wrong, I’m not sure what but I need your help.

Lise being one of the Wyrd sisters could use her abilities to tell what would happen in the future. That would include any of the timelines. Lise nodded and turned her back to him.

Lise: Please go into my study.

The two of them started to walk to Lise’s study. It was near the kitchen and Sam was thankful for that. It was the first door on the right in Lise’s small home. Sam had beat her to the room and sat in a chair; the chair was located across from Lise’s chair. Sure she called it a study but it was really her room to connect to not only herself but to the threads of fate.

Lise walked into the room and grabbed a lighter. She started to light different shades of purple candles in the room. Purple being the colour of psychic powers, helped her connect even more. After she finished, Lise sat at her chair and grabbed her “Wisdom of the House of Night” oracle deck and started to shuffle them.

Lise: Ask me a question.

Sam: What’s causing this feeling that I felt?

She stopped and handed Sam the cards. He cut them and returned them to her. Lise pulled the first card, vision. It showed Aphrodite, one of the characters from the House of Night books on it.

Lise: The vision card…okay I need to draw another.

Lise did and she got the forbidden card. That one showed a gate covered in vines. She gulped and looked up at Sam.

Lise: Forbidden, I think this has to do with the timeline being messed up.

Sam: Could you pull another card please?

Lise did as Sam asked and got the conclusion card. That had a book saying “The conclusion end of chapter one.

Lise: Conclusion, something is going to end soon. So what I’m getting from this is something with the timeline is about to end. Sam, I’d be careful for a while till the feeling subsides. I’m not fully sure what is going to happen. Because of the timeline issue, the fates power has been acting up badly.

Sam: I heard, I’m sorry about-

Lise: Don’t be sorry, it isn’t your fault, you did not cause this. Samuel, you have a match soon don’t you?

Sam: Ja, why do you ask?

Lise: The people you seek are going to meet you soon, have Lucy and Athena go with you.

Sam smirked.

Sam: Thanks Lise.

Part 3: That card game (#NP: “Ragnarok” by: Tyr)
The scene fades in and we see Samuel Devereux at the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa. He’s in his famous purple and black outfit. You know the one, the one where he dons a purple silk shirt, a dark purple (nearly black) vest, black leather jacket, black hat, black pants and matching colour shoes.

Sam was at a poker game with three other guys and, Sam knew that these men weren’t humans. No, he was playing against three anti-magi-bloods. Sam was planning on taking them down and, he wasn’t alone. Athena and Lucy were walking around incognito. Sam knew this was Alexander’s fault and with the issue with Stefan and Tanja didn’t help. He understood that now the timeline was messed up and that’s why Athena was here.

Dealer: Opening bet is fifty dollars.

Sam sets down a chip and looked at the other three.

Hunter #1: I’m in…so guy, do you know about the Magi-blood?

The hunter tossed a chip down.

Sam: Who hasn’t?

The second hunter tossed a chip down.

Hunter 2: I think they’re scum to the earth, I’m Xander, guy to my right is Raymond and the guy to my left is Tim.

Tim: Hello.

Tim tossed a chip down and the eyes went onto Sam.

Sam: I’m Chris and I need two.

He tossed two cards, Xander placed three down while Raymond placed four. The dealer deal out the cards and everyone looked at their cards. Sam quickly placed down two chips and smirked at all of them.

Raymond: What do you think of them Chris?

Sam: I think they’re amazing people; they do a lot for the world and they live along side us peacefully.

He saw Raymond roll his eyes as everyone else tossed down two chips. Pot was now at six-hundred dollars.

Xander: So you’re wonder of them…a sympathizer. Honestly I’m not even sure what you see in them. They’re disgusting beings that should be erased, they’ve killed people.

Sam gripped the left arm rest; he felt his anger grow at that lie. Never once during any campaign or war did a human die. It was always a Magi-Blood, another dies trying to fight for peace for their people. He didn’t roll his eyes at the hunter, they were brained washed by Alexander’s propaganda.

Raymond: They use their powers to fuck people over. They use it to keep humans down, hell they even would kill their own people…I got three of a kind.

Sam barred his teeth as he saw three threes and two fours.

Tim: I mean they even killed a guy named Alexander Rosangela but somehow he came back…two pair.

He sighed and tossed down two jacks and two twos and a king. Sam was ready to jump these three but he took in a sharp breath to keep still. He wasn’t about to blow it. He could see Athena out of the corner of his eyes and sensed Lucy was behind him.

Xander: Ha! Got a full house! Two fives and three sixes. But I hear SCW is going to have three big players there. We plan on taking them out and ridding the world of more Magi-Blood.

Xander tossed his cards down and the eyes again layed on Sam. He blinked and his eyes turned red. The hunters gasp at him and Sam smirked.

Sam: I am a Magi-Blood you fools and how dare you threaten both me, my wife and child…pot’s mine boys,  I got a royal flush!

Sam threw the cards at them, the cards turned purple and the men go flying into the wall. They were pinned up and Athena and Lucy walk over.

Athena: Good job Dad; we’ll handle this now.

Lucy: These three will help us get answers.

Sam nodded and walked out of the room. He grabbed the chips and entered into the main casino. Plenty of people were around and the sounds were lively.

Sam: Coming back to the wrestling world wasn’t an easy choice to make honestly. The Magi-Blood are an interesting breed of people, can’t really call ourselves humans since we aren’t. For a short recap “The Magi-Blood” are a race of people who have descended from the different Gods. For me, I’m from Baldur, the Norse God of goodness and peace.

For people who aren’t familiar with the mythology, here’s the story of Baldur. Baldur is the son of Odin and Frigg and Baldur is a champion of goodness, innocence and forgiveness and is loved by all. He’s handsome, gracious and cheerful…apparently so much that he gives off light. Yeah, even I found that interesting to be honest.

Baldur would get dreams of his death though. Now you’re wondering, how can an indestructible God can die right? Well, you’ll get to learn about that soon; so his Mother, Frigg, went around the nine realms to get an oath from everyone that they wouldn’t kill her son. But my question is, why didn’t Frigg know about this already? I mean she is the Goddess of prophecy after all…anyways…

After all of that the Gods would humor themselves by throwing weapons and stuff at him. Everything would bounce off him and he wouldn’t be harmed. Loki though…oh Loki being a trickster knew something that everyone else didn’t. Loki knew that Frigg didn’t get an oath from everyone. So he asked Frigg if she over looked anything and she did.

Mistletoe…

Now, Sam here is allergic to the stuff. If touch it or anything, I actually could die. So Loki ended up making a spear of the stuff and handed it to Hord, a blind God. Hord, poor Hord didn’t know any better, I mean he’s blind for Odin’s sake. So he threw the spear at Baldur and with a cry, Baldur died.

The Gods, upset, ended up Hermond to see Hel in the underworld. Hermond took Sleipnir, Odin’s eight-legged horse down there and, when Hermond’s eyes looked upon his brother, he saw Baldur pale and grim and sitting next to Hel. Hermond pleaded to Hel to let Baldur go but she said only if the whole world would weep for him.

The whole world did minus one…

The giantess named “Thanks”, that’s the English translation of the name. But it’s Loki in disguise and didn’t weep for Baldur. Baldur would end up staying down in the underworld till Ragnarok.

Sam walked up to an attendant and handed over the chips. The attendant walked off and Sam waited for them to come back with his money.

Sam: But unlike Baldur, I didn’t need anyone to weep for me. I didn’t need anyone to ask me either to come back. I came back to the wrestling world because I wanted to and so did my wife. As much as I love my fans, I came back because of my family. My family mean the world to me and everyone knows that. I guess you can say it’s the return of the king…Jesus I just made a Lord of the Ring reference.

But little did I know when I came back to SCW that my first match would be against Griffin Hawkins. Honestly, I won’t lie, I’m happy about this. Griffin is a fun person from what I know of and I’m honored to be facing him.

Griffin, you’re a legend in the wrestling world, everyone has heard of you and you’re one hell of a rockstar. You’ve traveled the world playing music by night and being a wrestler by day. Honestly that alone is like living a dream. Many people aspire to be something in their lives and, you’ve shown why people can achieve it.

Griffin, you’ve won ten championship compared to my two championships, I’ll admit each of your reigns are impressive. But…this is the first time we’re facing each other and I’m pretty sure that you’ll get a challenge from me. Griffin, I go into that ring and I’m serious, out of the ring, I am a fun guy; but I know when you’re in the ring you must be serious to come out with the win.

Here in SCW, they know me as mysterious, they know me as an enigma and for good reason. People can sense the mystery of me but they could never figure it out. I’m like shadow on the wall that you can never truly see or catch. I’m someone who you can try to understand but, I’m always changing and evolving like a computer program.

I guess, I like being an enigma, it keeps everyone on his or her toes and it makes them think. We both know many people in the wrestling world, don’t think. They think that you can only use brute force to win…little do they know.

My family and I, we bring difference like you do, to the wrestling world. You bring the power of rock and metal and well, we bring the mystery that challenges how people think. I think we’re not so different in the end Griffin.

But in this match, we both know what’s at stake. We both want the win and I want to show the SCW fans that we’re the two to watch for, I want them to remember the names of Samuel Devereux and Griffin Hawkins and, how we stole the show from everyone else. I guess you can also say this is the battle of the Gods.

We got SCW’s Metal God, Griffin Hawkins against SCW’s Norse God, Samuel Devereux. This match is going to go down in history that I can promise.

You know Griffin-

The attendant came back and hand Sam the money. Sam started to count it and smirked again. He pocketed the money and started to walk out of the casino now.

Sam: See, the only difference between a winner and a loser is character. Every man has a price to charge, and a price to pay. Yeah, I've paid mine in spades. I’m “Denmark’s Gambit” Samuel Devereux and I’ll see you in the ring, Mon Ami.

Fade to black.
