((First I must note, this may either simply be a story I am going to write here in the RP section (or in the void if Avan doesnt want it) or it will be an RP. However, if it is to be an RP it will only be for a limited number of RPers (5) and will require EXTREME cooperation from one of the roleplayers as I will have to explain a lot of what is going to happen at points in the story. Im currently against it being an RP since the extreme coop part was originally planned out by me and my best friend))
((Second note: This first part is the lyrics to the song that inspired this. Just sayin for anyone who recognizes it and would think to criticize me. I didnt write that, it was my inspiration and it fits very well at the beginning of the story))
My story starts the day they said "she can't be found"
the news so dark, heart stopped, I stood silent without a sound
It's over, she's finished, mother lies with my father and sister too
Cold-blooded, they suffered, shot down by the outlaws after you
Sorrow swallows my screams
Strength of the world - is on my shoulders
Strength of the world - is on my side
Strength of the world - the one true beholder
Ice in my veins - for those who've died
I've seen my family fade away, you've taken my whole life
There's nothing left to say
Avenge the dead kill all who cross me in my path
Suicidal, I never planned on coming back
I want it, I need it, revenge is dripping from my teeth
Need nothin', to feel power, and bring the killers to their knees
Nothin' ta lose vengeance ta gain (you know I'll never be the same)
So taste my breath I'm close behind (so desperate on your final day)
Sorrow swallows my screams
Sitting in silence with heaven above me I prayed every night by their graves
While I thirst for closure I feel it grow stronger
I can't turn my cheek away
I stand before you; I'll sin when I have to
But now I leave your side, to avenge my family's pride
So far forever alone, a greater punishment on me has been imposed
A killer falling from the light, I'll miss you my family, I'll never be alright

We were alone.
Me, and my three younger siblings, were alone. Everything we had was taken from us in one night. The killed our parents, the burned down our home, even the families of our friends were killed. We no longer had anything in this world.
And we were next.
We returned home from a wonderful night only for things to be horrible. Our home was gane, nothing but a smoldering pile of ash. The fucking fire department didnt even try to stop it. The police didnt even fucking do anything.
We stood in the ruins of our home, sobbing, untill my youngest brother spotted a note, untouched by the flames.
To the family of the deceased,
We are the ones who took your family. We are the ones who took your friends. Although it may seem strange for us to reveal our organization to you, you must understand. We are coming for you to wrap all of this up.
R.I.Z.E. Organization
December 23, 20XX
They wanted us all dead, and seeing what the did here, we wouldnt let them get us.
I took my youngest brother by the hand, and turned to the twins who stood behind me. I told them what we needed to do, and they reluctantly agreed. We walked for miles, looking for a secluded spot to hide until we stumbled apon a barn in the middle of the woods. Shivering, steam on our breath, we forced open the old molded door and walked inside. The barn did not provide much protection from the cold of winter, but that didn't matter.
A looked at each of my siblings, and, holding back my tears, I asked them if they still wished to go through with the plan. Standing in the cold silence, all of them eventually nodded and said yes. Hand shaking, I reached down to my pocket and drew the gun.
I shot each of them, once in the head, before turning the gun on myself. We werent going to let the organization get their wish. We took it into our own hands.
And with that final thought, I pulled the trigger and it all went black.
Dying a quite a curious sensation, at first there was the extreme pain from the bullet that passed through my skull, but that was soon replaced by a strange sort of bliss. A kind of bliss only obtained when you are completely free, completely empty.
And so I stood, in the enternal blackness wondering if this was what death truly was, an empty eternal nothing. Sighing, I sat down and closed my eyes, falling asleep for probably the last time.
But it wasn't the last...
I woke.
Opening my eyes slowly, I saw before me one of the most amazing, no THE most amazing sight ever. It was the gates of heaven. Words could not describe their beauty, song could not contain its magnificence, and I was about to pass through them. I looked to my left and right, saw my siblings, and we grabb eachother's hands walking forward into our afterlife.
But we were stopped. As we approached the gates, a shadow rose from the ground before us. Taking shape, the swirling mist took the appearance of a skeleton, dressed in a cloak that seemed to be made of darkness itself. We were stopped by the grim reaper. The reaper took hold of it's hood, pulling it forward, as to cast its face in shadow before it spoke. It told us that it was not yet our time to enter these gates, that we needed vengance. It told us that we would be returned to our bodies, with holy gifts, so as that we may take down the organization known as Rise Into Zenith Epoch. So that we may avenge our parents.
((And that's it for the intro to the Returned. Comments on the story, and whether or not you would like an RP of this are greatly appreciated and kinda asked for XD))
