Chapter 1 - Prologue.

Europe / Russian Empire / St. Petersburg (off Sennaya Square): May 5th, 1817.

It was a beautiful day for the world. The birds were chirping their songs as mankind went about their daily routines with smiles on their faces at beauty of the city, but also sad looks on their faces at the horror of it whether it be financially, emotionally or physically, yet if you were to look closely in saint petersburg at a run down hut off of sennaya square. To be more specific, Inside of a underground room. You can see a very handsome light skinned man with a diamond shaped face, unique jet black curly oily hair, strange milky white eyes that were void of any pupil or iris and 6'11 in height with a sweaty ripped muscular body, absent of any sort of body hair except in for the core areas like the head hair, armpits, and pubic area and was wearing nothing but what appeared to be a pair of knitted boxers.

The atmosphere extremely tense and damp.

(Mordred Svyatopolovich Ainsworth's POV)

"Mordred, we don't have any more coin and father refuses to find work and still clings too the former pride of our fallen house, mother and abigail are lady's and shouldn't be doing hard work and aunt margaret is 100 years old and william is to young. I don't know what to do anymore." Said a deep russian, anxious voice with a tired sigh as my ears caught the sound of footsteps pacing hurriedly back and forth.

The room was silent. The sound of footsteps pacing back and forth still being heard.

"How did I end up here" I thought with a tired sigh as my eyes watched a white silhouetted man pace back and forth anxiously in a black void. His heart fast and anxiously.

My name is diamond o'vera and I was your most average 33 year old female psychiatrist doing what all normal and average people do. My daily routine. It consisted of eat, shower, sleep and get up for work again and go home and repeat the very demanding schedule that led me to my death.

I died. Quickly. Painlessly. In my sleep.

But it wasn't the end as I woke in a new body.

A blind 9 year old male body in 1809 russia as the second son of a wealthy duke that chose the wrong side and payed the price for it.

Which brings me to my or should I say our current situation in the year of 1817 of may 5th.

"Are you listening mordred. Are you spacing out again, god why do I have to be born into a broken weird family." Said the man with a sigh as he sat where my bed is located.

I ran my fingers through my hair as I got up from the floor and said calmly "You should've known from the beginning that father is not a capable man. He made the family into the way it is now. Slum shit."

"Y…yeah. You were right, he did exactly what you said he would, he sold secrets to house rurikids." Said the man stuttering with a sigh as he put his face into his hands.

I stared down at the white silhouetted man for a moment with my left hand rubbing my chin and said calmly as I heard his heart beat even faster "Vladimir. Don't have a mental breakdown, we will pull through this because I have a few Ideas."

"Y…your right. You're 17 years old and I'm 18 years old, we're both grown men and sh…wait, you have ideas." Asked vladimir with a confused look on his face as he glanced up at me.

I closed my eye and nodded momentarily and said calmly "It might not be anything that you are willing to do but this could save us from our current situation."

The room was silent. The atmosphere even heavier as vladimir Interlocked his fingers in his lap and said with hardened eyes "What is the plan."

"There both risky short and long term but it's robbery and a loan." I said calmly with a sigh while Immediately thinking up alternatives that we could exploit.

Vladimir rubbed his chin for a moment and said with a wave of his right hand and a sigh "I'll follow your lead. Your the smarter brother and I'm only good for the muscle."

"Which is nothing if you can't back it up with your brain. Anyway, we need to get our hands on some guns for protection." I said calmly while going to the spot my bed was located and sat down on it next to vladimir.

Vladimir Immediately stood up and said with a wide grin forming on his face "I know somebody that knows somebody. That knows that somebody who knows somebody."

The room was absolutely silent.

"What's his name." I asked calmly while rubbing my smooth chin with my right hand.

Vladimir sighed and ran his left hand through his hair and said tiredly "His name is Ivan fletcher. He's a underground arms dealer and owes me a favor."

"I see. What for." I asked calmly while staring at his white nervous silhouette.

Vladimir adjusted his throat as he averted his eyes away from me and said "I hooked him up with a whore."

"I had 8 years to process the bullshit. I'm not even fazed anymore" I thought with a sigh as a sudden familiar smell hit my nose.

"P…promise you won't tell mother and father." Said vladimir stutteringly with anxious gritted teeth.

I stood up from my bed tilted my head upward slightly and sniffed and muttered "Weed. No tobacco."

"Mordred. Please don't tell the fam…" Said vladimir anxiously. Only to be cut off by a wave of my hand.

*TAK*

I hit the back of his head hardly and said calmly with my right eye closed "I'm not your father. I don't care what you stick your cock Inside or do with the body that you were given but that doesn't mean you should be reckless with your life or caring for yourself and reducing your self worth."

The room was silent. Vladimir's eyes widened with a look of realization and smile forming on his face.

"Thanks. I needed that, this isn't me, I'm not the one usually panicking." Said vladimir with a laid back smile on his face.

I sniffed the air again and thought with my eyes squinting "No. It's mixed together."

"Your welcome. Who's smoking." I asked as I felt around my bed. An Image of It appearing inside my mind and grabbed pair of clothes and started putting them on.

Vladimir sniffed the air slightly and said while waving his hand with a disgusted look on his face "God that stinks. It must be aunt margaret."

"Aunt margaret" I thought while adjusting my ugly pants and shirt and held my left hand out to vladimir.

Vladimir stared at my had for a moment and and suddenly face palmed and said with a click of his teeth at his own stupidity "Tch…dumbass. Sorry I keep forgetting your blind sometimes."

"I don't see how when you can just tell by my eyes alone or do you have selective sight." I said calmly while holding onto vladimir's arm as he led me out of the room and down the short hallway as an Image of a light skinned man with a clean shaven diamond shaped face, a light, slightly hazel-leaning green with a warm tone eyes, and a 6'6 ripped and hairy muscular body underneath his ugly and dirty outfit appeared Inside my mind.

Vladimir chuckled and said with a laid back smile "Most likely but what do you want with aunt margaret."

"You'll see." I said calmly as vladimir led me Into the smokey living room and seen 5 white outlined silhouettes sitting on where the sofa and chair would be located if I could see.

"Aunt margaret, can you please put out the pipe. William is only 12 years old and should not be exposed to such things yet." Said a soft, pleading woman's voice. It being a very beautiful woman with long curly jet black hair, ocean green eyes, a diamond shaped face and a slender 5'9 hourglass figure in a dirty gown with a flabbergasted look on her face.

A old woman with dark, brown greying styled hair, a diamond shaped face, muted gray with a slight hazel / green undertone eyes. And a light skin tone with a slim hourglass 5'7 figure in a dirty outfit snickerd and said dryly as she exhaled pungent smoke from her nose "Do shut up dear. I'm just surrounded by failures."

"I hope that includes you to." I said calmly as I stood with vladimir In front of the entire family.

Margaret chuckled and said with a wave of her left hand "Nice one. Unfortunately I have been providing through my deals, I've been the one feeding you all."

"Yep. Surprisingly and I am grateful for the rat for draining all of the families funds that I had worked so hard to earn." I said calmly while pointing at an overweight outlined silhouetted man snoring on the sofa. Last time I've seen a Image of him in my mind through tactile touch he had a light skin tone, a diamond shaped, double chinned face, curly kneck length jet black hair, gray eye color, and a overweight 6'11 hairy body in a dirty outfit with throw up stains on it.

*SNORES*

The living room was absolutely silent. The faces of everyone grim.

*PAK*

Vladimir clapped his hand together loudly and adjusted his throat and said with a serious look on his face "If I can just have everyone's attention please. Mordred has something too say."

"Doesn't he always…" Said margaret with a resting bitch face as she Inhaled from the pipe and exhaled a ring of smoke from her mouth.

A beautiful and mature looking woman with a rectangular shaped face, hazel like eyes, light platinum styled blonde hair, and rectangular athletic 6'0 figure in a dirty gown stared for a moment at margaret calmly "Aunt margaret, let them speak."

"Whatever." Said margaret with a shrug of her shoulders as she looked at me and vladimir.

A light skin younh boy with hazel like eyes, long jet black hair, a diamond shaped face and a visible muscular 5'5 body asked with curious eyes "Mommy what is a rat."

"I don't know how to say this william but your grand papa is a rat honey." Said the beautiful woman with a sigh as she patted the tether tall boy's head.

The mature woman looked at the beautiful woman and said with a stoic look on her face "Silence, abigail.

"Shut up adelaide. That goes for both of you, as you've said Adelaide. Let the boys speak." Said margaret with a very bougie look on her face at adelaide as she looked back at me an vladimir

The living room was silent. Everyone looking at both me and vladimir.

"Now that the circus act has finished. I have a question for you aunt margaret." I said calmly while looking at a white silhouette sitting in a chair beside the couch with a pipe in her left hand and a cane in her right.

Margaret raised her left eyebrow and said "It better not be how much money I have."

"What are you smoking." I asked calmly while staring at her silhouette patiently.

Margaret looking at the wooden pipe in her left hand and said with a chuckle "Ah. You mean this good stuff, I got it delivered. It's tobacco and weed."

"I knew it. I can turn this hut into a trap house" I thought while rubbing my chin. Only for the downsides of shootouts happening to signal and make a red light go off in my head.

"Why don't ask. Do you wanna a taste or do you wanna get involved in some shady business." Asked margaret as a smile formed on her face with squinted eyes.

I stopped rubbing my chin and said calmly "Listen up everyone. It is time to start getting our hands dirty and live a good life. It is time to make up your minds on whether to either be competent or Incompetent. Two cannot coexist as one so make a choice."

The living room was silent. Margaret, abigail, and adelaide all looking at each other with a desperate look of their former lucre life being seen In there eyes and said in sync "We'll do it."

This family not knowing that this thorny path they take will have It's deaths and smiles of lavish joy.

THE END…
