Chapter 2: The problem

They wouldn't let me on base that night, I spent it alone. I didn't get to see her until she was sworn, I made it at the drop of a pin. She was beautiful up there, I was filled with pride and inexpressible emotions.

"I swear my life to the craft, In protecting and healing my sisters in need. My life is the tribes to take and do with as they will, I will take sacrifice with pride. Gods watch us all."

Hearing her speak those words filled me with such a dread, she hugged me, and we headed to the airport. I sat and held her with a smile while fighting my own emotions.

I couldn't say anything, I was so choked on my words that all that came out was "I love you, I will be here even when I'm not" and silently prayed for the gods to protect her. As hard as it was I held my tears and emotions until I saw her walk away with tears in her eyes. As soon as she was out of sight I looked down and rushed out to my car. I can't remember how long it took or the walk itself, I remember breaking down in the car, beating my innocent steering wheel and cursing and screaming into the void that was silence.

I was thrown into a seemingly endless cycle of self destruction, I hadn't eaten for 4 days, I was drinking and hurting myself. Worst of all, my work suffered. I was more violent and less vigilant, I gave them opportunities I normally wouldn't. I took it too far with a lackey of Esmeralda, a powerful black magic witch, they make me sick. My wife is out there healing witches that her lackeys are trying to kill, putting her in harms way.

His chuckle snaps me back to reality. "The only woman who would love a witch hunter would have to be a fucking whore" My anger takes a hold of me and my sight turns red, we fist fight and I beat the shit out of him. He tried to reach for my gun that flew onto the ground minutes ago, I kick the shit out of him, and put him in cuffs at knife point. He chuckled again, "Esmeralda is keeping an eye on you Jack, don't get cocky" he slammed his forehead on the ground and went limp.

When my love came back, I feared she would find out what I had done to myself, that she would find out what the lackey had said, so I told her everything. "Esmeralda has been fairly silent lately" she said, though I barely heard her over my disappointment in myself. She held me tighter than she has in a while, and while she held me I felt nothing but pure happiness, security, and love.
