Nathaniel Grant had left the hospital a little worse for wear from his hanging experience. He body was covered in a sheet of black and blue bruises. Yet, for all of that he was in good spirits even with this group of mysterious people after him. After all, he had been through similar things before. He had decided to go back to training so was at the Phoenix Nest in the facility's pool swimming laps. while the doctor had recommend Nathaniel avoid wrestling or anything to burdensome swimming was a good way to keep his cardio up with out aggravating his battered body too much.
As Nathaniel Swims his laps he contemplates his future. On one hand he knew he still had some matches left in his body. Yet, on the other he was sick of dealing with the constant disdain and hatred. As had been slammed in his face repeatedly he was an old man, in body at least. The thoughts continues to circle in his head over and over again with each lap Nathaniel swims.
After a good thirty minutes he goes to climb out of the pool to head over to the after workout hot tub. However, before he gets to the hot Tub, Nathaniel is surrounded by a trio of red robed figures. Before he can react each one launches into a brutal attack on Nathaniel's body. As the trio attacks the could be heard chanting a mantra over and over again.
"Embrace the desolation. Embrace the desolation. Embrace the desolation."
The attack continues for a few minutes before the trio suddenly stops. Two of the robed figures hold Nathaniel up while the third reaches into his robe and grabs a pair of handcuffs. With a swift motion Nathaniel has his wrist cuffed behind his back. Once this is done the trio begin their assault on Nathaniel's body again. Each strike echoing through out the pool area.
"And unto them the second stage of preparation was revealed, the drowned king in a sea of blood."
With an an unseen motion the trio stop their attack as the leader pulls a box out from his robes. He opens it and reveals a barbed wire crown. With a laugh he lifts it out of the box and slams it down upon Nathaniel's head opening cuts that instantly stream blood. After this the figure draws as dagger from his waist and carves an upside down winged sword into Nathaniel's chest. Without a pausing the figured moves around to Nathaniel's back and repeats the carving. Blood was now free flowing from Nathaniel's body which was the intention. With a smirk the figure points to the pool. The pair holding Nathaniel up guide the wrestler over to the edge of the deep. Once in place the leader slams the hilt of his dagger into Nathaniel's temple to knock him out. As Nathaniel's body goes limp the figures push it backward into the pool. Nathaniel's body hits the water on its back with blood instantly tainting the water around it in an ever widening circle.
"The second omen has been fulfilled. the drowned king will reign."
With that the leader of the red robed trio drops a card with a bloody hand print on to Nathaniel's chest. After this his done the tio walks off leaving Nathaniel to be found by another swimmer.
