The Beginning

Rene knew his mother and his life were in danger when Joseph took them in. His mother was murdered a few years later; Joseph raised Rene like he was his own son. Then came Josephus, a very large man whom Joseph had saved years earlier. Joseph was dying, and on his last night on earth, he told Rene of his destiny and that Josephus would go with him. Before Rene could react, he felt the needle pierce his flesh. When Rene turned, he saw that this large stranger was weeping, then reached out and held him as the first waves of pain hit.
