Erron (Black): Ballad of Hermitage

A Story by Abishai100

An Outworld cowboy-mercenary named Erron crosses-over into Earth-realm to deliver the Windy City from a terrible blood-diamond dilemma for a devoted nun.

A vigilantism opus inspired by the awesome series Mortal Kombat and the offbeat adventure-film Highlander. Thanks so much for reading,

Erron (Black) is a mercenary-sharpshooter assassin in a faraway dimension called Outworld who lives on the wanderings and uses his gold pistols to create infiltrations into the dominions of evil warlords and is considered both valiant and mysteriously pensive. He's been successful on various missions and is about to embark on a journey across a portal into Earth-realm.

ERRON: I'm crossing into Earth-realm as a 'Catholic-nun' has used a 'Ouija-incantation' to ask help with a diamond-baron evil.

The 'Catholic-nun' on Earth-realm is Nina who's a collector of classics artworks and devotee of her faith and 'true-believer' in Earth-realm heroics and hopes her Ouija-incantation will draw the right 'brand' of dark-realm 'super' hero to help her deal with a vile 'blood-diamond' dominion in a darkened city on Earth!

NINA (Nun): Hopefully, this 'strange-prayer' will draw-forth the right kind of 'antihero' to deal with this piracy-gem darkness.

ERRON: Why'd you use a Ouija incantation, given that you're a nun, Mother-Nina?
NINA: I'm hoping my use of a children's Ouija board-game and youthful optimistic prayer-play would bring you here, Erron.

ERRON: I've transformed into a humanoid 'prince' or 'vigilante' and will deal with this blood-diamond dominion in Chicago.

NINA: What do you plan to do, Erron?

ERRON: I can see your use of the children's boardgame (Ouija) is a sign of distress; I'll become a human 'detective' of piracy!

Erron (Black) discovers that the US 'Windy City' (Chicago) is hampered by an evil baron (Ion) and his blood-diamond smuggling activity between British Columbia (North America) and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), through a 'hub' right in Chicago. He's using cyber-blogging about patriotic capitalism monitors in Chicago while infiltrating the piracy-gem underworld disguised as a 'gem-sifting' merchant/purifier making social 'contracts' with overground/legitimate diamond-merchants in the Windy City while obtaining info on the 'minions' behind these traffickings of 'conflict-zone' (Sierra Leone) gems. He's able to get all the way to Ion's lair and tricks the ruthless baron after swapping his pirate-gems in a Chicago bank safe-box with toy gems and compelling Ion to make media statements (online!) about the security of 'insured gems' for Interpol-relations inquiries regarding the nature of diamond-market reportings. Soon thereafter, Ion's exposed as a conflict-zone speculator!

NINA: What will you do now, Erron?

ERRON: I'm stuck here on Earth, Mother-Nina!

NINA: You seem like you sound very lonely, Erron.

ERRON: I knew a girl, true-love, in my own dimension from which I came from, when I was a wandering assassin-mercenary.

NINA: What will you do on Earth-realm now?

ERRON: Well, I'll remember this 'love' of mine...in a place called Outworld...I'll make cyber-doodles of her visage!

NINA: What will you cast yourself as in these 'comic book doodles' online, great Erron?

ERRON: Maybe I'll portray myself as a brooding hermit on Earth, dreaming of my Outworld princess (Kitana).

NINA: Perhaps you and Kitana are united (somehow) through your child-like princess-doodles.

ERRON: Yeah, right; Mother-Nina, I'll think of her as my distant angel...of a retired vigilante on hermitage.

NINA: You should write an online book about romance and vigilantism.
ERRON: That sounds rather...demonstrative; thank you.

That's just what Erron did. He became a pensive hermit in Chicago and spent time making drawings of his fair Kitana (Outworld) and dreamt of the 'experience' of true-love as a mercenary in Outworld, and of himself as a fondly remembering 'vigilante-human' on Earth-realm. He considered this new life of 'priesthood' a sudden if welcomed 'sense' of duty and honor. Perhaps he'd come across a young woman who'd remind him of Kitana herself; and he'd remain grateful to Mother-Nina for his vigilance-adventure for the rescue of the Windy City.
