Grey War

Chapter 5

&nbsp;- File missing -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Where am I?&nbsp; Who am I?&nbsp; Questions flew through the Sheppard's head like a swarm of angry wasps and a nest.&nbsp; Why couldn't he remember?&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; Why!?!&nbsp; Why!?!

"Do you not remember your name?"&nbsp; The Sheppard looked back.&nbsp; There was a rather curved coyote and a well built red panda sitting across from him.&nbsp; The coyote had a worried look on her face, almost as if she&nbsp; didn't know what to do.&nbsp; She asked again.&nbsp; "Do you remember your name?"&nbsp; He shook his head in response.&nbsp; "No."&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The coyote and the red panda looked back to each other.&nbsp; "Well.&nbsp; My name is Aria."&nbsp; The coyote said.&nbsp; "And this is Ray."&nbsp; She pointed to the panda next to her.

"Aria... Ray."&nbsp; He said looking to both of them.&nbsp; "Who am I?"&nbsp; He asked.&nbsp; They both looked a worriedly to each other. &nbsp;&nbsp;Ray answered.&nbsp; "We don't know."&nbsp; He shifted uncomfortably in his seat.

"Look... Maybe you have some ID with you?&nbsp; You needed it to get into the station..."&nbsp; Aria said to him.&nbsp; She looked around for a bag of some kind.&nbsp; Or anything that could lead to an ID.&nbsp;

"You have anything that could help us?"&nbsp; Ray asked the Sheppard.

"Umm..."&nbsp; He looked about him, nothing that he could remember... Then again... He didn't really remember anything...&nbsp;

"Maybe on your coat tag?&nbsp; Or your hat?"&nbsp; Aria mentioned.&nbsp; The Sheppard removed his hat, It had some text on the back inside rim of the hat.&nbsp;

"It says something."&nbsp; Ray and Aria leaned forward to read the small tag.&nbsp;

"Machine washable."&nbsp; Ray said with a slightly disappointed frown.&nbsp; He leaned back into his seat.&nbsp; "Well... At Central, there are nurses and doctors...&nbsp; I'm sure someone will know what to do... Maybe even have some experience with something like this. "

The Sheppard stopped.&nbsp; "What's Central?&nbsp; Where is Central?" &nbsp;&nbsp;He asked.

"Central is where the Guardians learn to... Well... Become Guardians."&nbsp; Aria said.&nbsp; "Where we learn to fight to protect the kingdoms."&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Sheppard thought for a moment... It was dim... Very dim... But some how... That seemed familiar to him...&nbsp; Like a wisp of smoke.&nbsp; Just the littlest bit familiar...

"I... It seems familiar..."&nbsp; The Sheppard put his head into this hands and tried to think...&nbsp; Everything... It was so blurry in his mind... He couldn't remember anything... But he knew it was there.... Just out of reach in his mind.&nbsp;

"Yeah, it's the point of us Guardians."&nbsp; Ray said pointedly. &nbsp;"We protect the kingdoms form chaos and tyranny."&nbsp; He raised his fist into a heroic position.&nbsp; Almost as if he was posing for a cover screen for an action movie.&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That part didn't seem as familiar to the Sheppard.&nbsp; Fighting for the kingdom seemed to be somewhat familiar, but a cool action pose?&nbsp; That part didn't seem to ring any bells...&nbsp; "I... I still don't remember."&nbsp; He said quietly.&nbsp;

Aria came over and sat down next to the Sheppard, he looked up to her.&nbsp; She looked rather nice... He thought.&nbsp; She gave a little smile, and placed her hand down on his shoulder.&nbsp; The feeling made him jump.&nbsp;&nbsp; "What?"&nbsp; Aria pulled her hand back.&nbsp; The feeling was so foreign.&nbsp; He almost felt like he had never experienced something so small, as a hand on his shoulder.

Aria pulled back a little.&nbsp; Trying to get a good look at the Sheppard, trying to understand him.&nbsp; Ray sat opposite them, watching the Sheppard with a curious look.&nbsp; &nbsp;The Sheppard leaned forward, putting his face back into his hands.&nbsp; He leaned forward as he did this.&nbsp; There was a metallic clicking sound, and something fell from the top of his coat, and caught around a thin chain around his neck.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Aria leaned in closer.&nbsp; "Hey..."&nbsp; She gently reached for the dangling necklace.&nbsp; The Sheppard pulled back a little to let her see the necklace.&nbsp;

"It's a Tag..."&nbsp; Aria said quietly.&nbsp; "WA-7-77."&nbsp; She frowned.&nbsp; It was just a few letters and numbers.&nbsp; No name was printed onto the tag.&nbsp; The Sheppard looked at it, and took it into his hand.&nbsp; WA-7-77...&nbsp; Why did that seem to raise his hackles... It was eerie...&nbsp; Like he was looking at something that was very, very wrong.&nbsp; He rubbed it in between his finger and thumb.&nbsp; It felt smooth on the top, and rough on the bottom...&nbsp; He turned it over.&nbsp; Aria and Ray looked closer as well.

Carved on the back, with what looked like was done with a rather sharp object.&nbsp; Were four letters.&nbsp;

"John."&nbsp; They all said at the same time.&nbsp; They looked to The Sheppard.&nbsp; He looked back.

"My name is John."
