Tales from the lost city
WELCOME TO THE CITY OF NEW YORKERS
A BRIGHT AND MAGICAL TOWN FILLED WITH DANGERS AND WONDERS
A FEW THINGS TO REMEMBER
WATCH THE WATERS THE HUDSON RIVER HAS BECOME A GREEDING GROUND FOR MERMAIDS
THE WOOD NYMPHS AND CENTAURS OF CENTRAL PARK WILL GLADLY PLAY MUSIC FOR YOU IN EXCHANGE FOR FEED AND FRESH FLOWERS
BROOKLYN HAS BECOME THE ROOSTING AREA FOR DRAGONS PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK
WEREWOLFS ARE TO REPORT TO GOVERNMENT MANDATED SAFE HOUSES EVERY FULL MOON
LIKEWISE VAMPIRES ARE TO REPORT TO BLOOD BANKS OR SOME ONE REGISTERED AS A DONOR RANDOM FEEDING WILL BE FINED
WATCH OUT FOR HARPY DROPINGS
DON’T STARE AT THE STATUES FOR TO LONG
CEMETARYS CLOSE BEFORE DAWN ANY ONE SNEAKING IN WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE SPIRITS AND WRAITHS THAT POPULATE THEM
Who Rules The Monsters?
Most minor classes of monsters fall under two main leaderships. The dragons or the elf’s. The dragon king Auldrin The Ancient rules the creatures of earth the rock monsters, the elemental spirits, winged creatures like dragonlings and Harpies, and various other minor creatures. The Elf Queen Esmeralda rules over the creatures of nature the wood nymphs, centaurs, water spirits, and creatures along those lines. Vampires and Werewolves form their own minor society continuing their long-standing war/ feud with one another. Likewise the Orc’s cut a deal with the council (more on that later) for their own cut of land where most continue to hone their crafts (and participate in blood sports). Elf’s and Dragons have a long standing feud as well but mostly work together for the time being that is…….
On the human side Mayor Timothy Harding serves along with various other members of the community they along with the Auldrin and Esmeralda form the grand council (along with a few other minor creatures) the council is dedicated to keeping diplomacy between the humans and monsters and uphold the peace treaty that was established two years ago.
Before this treaty the city was a place of chaos and disorder humans versus monsters versus other monsters. The magic that brought every one together combined with the mysterious and ominous fog caused people to panic. The City of New York became a war zone with fire and chaos rising. It was only until the great human warrior Gunther “gunner” Skale forced each side to sit down and talk that there was finally peace. Shortly after however he vanished some say he found a way out of the fog while others say he went into hiding to get away from the fame.
The organization he formed in his wake however remained. The Monster Peace Corps or M.P.C is dedicated to Gunner Skale’s mission preserving the peace between the monsters and the humans. They operate above the mayor and the grand council as per the treaty and have formed their organization in what used to be the Empire State Building. They are run by gunners own sister the White Wolf known for her supreme hunting skills and shocking white hair.
Of course the M.P.C has more and more on their plate with the human terrorist Templar group and the rouge monsters there has become a need for a more….. Special kind of agent, a team of agents each one with skills and talents some would call unnatural in this unnatural world. The M.P.C has taken great care to pick these candidates out the best of the best the strangest of the strange.
And it just so happens they are needed…..

TIMES SQAURE
CENTER OF THE FRIGGIN CITY
“WHO”S NEXT!!”
The monster was big… actually it was friggin enormous and butt ass ugly covered in gray scaly skin, massive bone like spikes, and with a face not even its mother could love. It had four arms as well each one holding a large brutish looking battle-ax that glittered against the high tech screens dotting the area. The beast roared causing more people to scatter swinging the ax’s at the cops hesitantly moving around it. The cops were outfitted with standard issue guns so instead they focused on helping people get out of the way of the carnage the monster was creating.
“I am the destroyer!” He yelled clearly loving the attention he was receiving “I am death itself! I am the most feared beast in the city! I am the greatest warrior” He said pausing for dramatic effect his eyes settling on the cops.
“I AM MATILDA!!”
There were a few chuckles from the cops gathered around
“WHAT IS SO FUNNY PUNY HUMANS?!” He yelled clearly angry “DO YOU NOT FEAR THE POWERFUL MALTILDA?!”
“They’re laughing because Matilda is a girls name!”
The beast turned looking for the source of the voice. His eyes finally narrowed seeing a young looking man standing on the hood of a car. His shirt/cape flapping in the wind as he slid a strange looking wrist gauntlet onto his hand it gave a soft beep and a panel slid out forming a curved V.
“It’s like the worst name you could have picked dude” The man said running a hand through his spiky hair “should have gone with some thing much more macho like Spike or maybe just plain old Killer”
“Spike….” The monster said clearly enraged at the young boy in front of him “SPIKE IS A TRIVIAL NAME COMPARED TO A POWERFUL ONE LIKE MATILDA”
The man shrugged sliding a pair of sunglasses off to look at him with sapphire eyes “Suit you’re self but no one is going to take you seriously……. Matilda”
Which only caused the cops to snicker more
“ENOUGH” Matilda said his eyes narrowing as he moved towards the cops celalry enraged at their continued laughing at him “I WILL SHOW YOU THE TRUE POWER OF MATILDA”
“Seriously need to stop calling your self that” The man murmured sliding a deck of cards into the slot on the gauntlet “but fine Matilda you want to play….. let’s play a game then”
He drew his first card and slid it onto the panel watching as the magical runes on the gauntlet flared into life. A large saber tooth tiger materialized in front of him roaring and narrowing it’s eyes at Matilda. Matilda paid it no mind instead advancing on the cops who were rapidly trying to get away from the brute.
“I hope my new boss is finished with the recruitment drive” Jackie said to the beast hoping onto it’s back “I cant be killed by a monster named Matilda” He said scratching behind his ears before pulling out the revolver on his hip. He cocked the hammer and nudged the saber tooth tiger with his boot causing the beast to roar up and bound at Matilda.

FIVE MINUTES AGO
AND COUNTING
Chapter One
Desperate Times Desperate Measures
Jackie felt the bag being ripped off his head and closed his eyes just in time to stop him self from being blinded by the harsh white light that seemed to be aimed right at him. He kept them closed instead using his ears and other senses to try and figure out what exactly was going on. He heard the squeak of steel toed boots in front of him and concentrated on that distinguishing two different ones pacing back and forth. Must be the men who nabbed me he thought as his mind raced. An hour ago he was in his good friends Blylock shops enjoying some pleasant company (and some questionable Orcish ale) when two goons came bursting in demanding he come with them and sticking a black bag over his head. Of course even without his gauntlet he could probably have taken them but….. well he was interested it wasn’t every day that he got kidnapped plus……
He was bored
“So you wonderful gentleman mind telling me why you kidnapped me?” He asked lightly slowly opening his eyes fighting the harsh light to see clearly “I mean as much as I like being abducted for mysterious and maybe sinister purposes I at least like to know what I’m being abducted for if you had asked nicely I might have even gone with you”
“Shut up you freak” One of them murmured advancing on him “The boss wants to speak with you were with the M.C.P” He stated as his buddy puffed up his chest proudly.
“Oh the M.C.P why didn’t you say so!” Jackie said in mock happiness “well that makes this all okay then!” He said his voice dripping in sarcasm as he tested the cuffs behind his back.
“There magically charmed to be unbreakable and negate supernatural powers” The other thug said smugly “Even if you had powers you couldn’t get out….. pretender”
“Pretender?!” Jackie said enraged now “I will have you know I studied at the school of sorcery for two years during the Great War and graduated top of the class I’ve seen things most other have never gotten a chance to”
“But you aren’t magical your human Mr….. Boy and you’re a con artist”
Both of the thug’s straightened looking nervous and scared as the steady tap tap of heels came from the depths of darkness. A woman appeared beautiful, striking, and most important of all deadly. She had the allure of sex yet looked dangerous as if she was top of the food chain a hunter amongst hunters, the short shorts she was wearing and crop top showed of plenty of alabaster skin but the truly eye catching piece was the giant red and black sniper riffle she carried over her shoulder and the shocking white hair she had pulled up in a tight ponytail. Her eyes were hidden behind a pair of gold aviators and her mouth gave nothing away.
“The white wolf I presume” Jackie said looking her up and down instantly recognizing her “You know typically government agents wear suits especially powerful boss ladies is this the new standard then?”
“I don’t do suits” She stated leaning against the sniper riffle and regarding him “this outfit worked just fine for me in the war made my enemies do a double take while I only needed one shot”
“I bet it did” He murmured shaking his head “So have you come to take my baby” He said nodding at the backpack sitting next to him “I have to warn you it’s got every magical protection known plus it only works for me”
“Far from it” She replied sliding a piece of gum into her mouth and chewing on it “you and your “baby” are one of a kind and since we know it’s keyed to your specific bio signature….. we decided instead of locking it up to conscript you both we have a use for your….. Unique talents”
“Use?” Jackie said perking up “so a job offering then why didn’t you say so the human technococery/ con artist business is slow right now I’m always looking for more suckers I mean clients”
“One hell of a job offering” The White Wolf said ignoring the suckers comment “the worlds changing Mr. Boy monsters are getting nastier and nastier and we lose good men trying to fight them the M.C.P needs specialist…. Expendable specialist people who can contain the threat’s and give our human forces a chance to capture the baddies with out compromising their lives we need a team”
“I don’t do teams” Jackie said snorting losing interest “thanks but no thanks I work alone”
“This wasn’t a request” The White Wolf said shaking her head “as per article five section fifteen of the Skale peace treaty you are officially being recruited into the Expendable Supernatural Containment Squad or E.S.C.S and just in time to take down a four armed monster currently tearing up Times Square of course if you try to say no again I can throw you in a jail and take away your “baby” for the rest of your life we might not know how it works but we can sure as hell keep it from you”
“Well sounds like I don’t got much of a choice” Jackie murmured shrugging “I’ll play along for now but I hope you were a lot nicer with the other members of my team which I assume I’ll be meeting shortly”
“There coming in now” She said nodding at the guards to unlock his cuffs “they’ll all be briefed and join you shortly” She said stepping away and nodding at the two thugs/ agents who brought him here. They nodded and stepped towards him quickly sticking a transmitter in his ear and stepping back disappearing into the darkness after her and leaving him in confusion.
“What do you mean join me?”
A man in a blue hooded robe belonging to the society of magic appeared his arms raised as he began chanting in the mystical language known to all spell casters. Jackie groaned his years of sorcery training allowing him to understand what kind of spell the man was casting.
A teleportation spell
“FUCK!” Was all he managed to say before he disappeared in a flash of blinding white light leaving behind only a slightly charred chair.
