Jason thought to himself, â€œHmmmâ€¦ Shouldnâ€™t that fall have killed me?â€ He knew that he deserved the same fate as that bastard, especially after all the people he had killedâ€¦ But Jason stood up, his body intact, albeit under rubble from the impact to the concrete. He looked around, noticing the horrified expressions on everyoneâ€™s faces, even Erisâ€™s. He looked over at the other body, his handiwork. He felt strange, like a strength he had never felt before in his chest. He tore open the vest to reveal a strange glowing mark emblazoned on his chest:<br/>The symbol was the Celtic symbol for shadows- or something like shadows- it meant one had the power to reflect or mimic anything at willâ€¦<br/><br/><br/>Immediately, he understood. He was the One. The Shadow man.<br/>In Jasonâ€™s family, a large Celtic family that passed in and out of Irelandâ€™s history, a story was passed down through the generations. The story told of an immortal that lived on Earth, watching over the humans, and protecting them from any wrath that a god would wrongly put on them and kept them from fighting each other. One day, the immortal was passing through a village, and one of Jasonâ€™s ancestors lived there. This person was not in favor of God, and God put a curse on him, so that wherever he went, he would cause mayhem and chaos. The immortal, feeling sorry for the man, bestowed him his powers, and took the curse upon himself. After that, for every generation of Jasonâ€™s family, a member of that generation was chosen to wield the power, until that person died, or passed the power down to someone else.<br/>The glowing subsided, and what looked like a tattoo remained on Jasonâ€™s scarred chest. He cracked his neck, his knuckles, and stretched. Walking over to Eris he said, â€œYou were talking about Italy, right? Well, if I get to tag along, weâ€™ll have to stop at a couple of places.â€ Jason grinned at the beautiful blonde before him, and whispered in her ear, â€œWeâ€™ll talk in the car, alright sweetie?â€ Jason then climbed in the back of the black Buick and sat patiently for Eris, his new partner and possibly love interest.
