A calm, cool voice.
And so the story goes like this:
A white knight fell upon dark times. He was banished from his kingdom, banished from his glory. Left with nothing but his own flesh and bones. Indeed this was a hard transitory phase for the knight. He struggled very deeply at first. It seemed he had lost all purpose. All direction. All everything.
But sometimes, sometimes miracles happen. And sometimes a man rises from the darkness. And so was true with our white knight. Though his armor now dull and his hair greying... he found a new kingdom. A new purpose. A new hope.
And he set off the conquer that kingdom. His very first move... in his very first battle this knight was victorious. He did not do it alone, that is true, but he was the one to secure victory for his army. He was the one to deliver the final shot... the shot heard around the world. The shot that started it all.
The kings and the queens were all very impressed and told the knight he posses great potential. That maybe someday he could go to war for them... that maybe someday, he could bare their gold. This very much excited our hero. He was more determined than ever.
And so 3 days before the end to his 29th year, the kings and the queens of the kingdom granted him the chance to bare the gold he so much desired. His enemy would not be an easy kill. His enemy has gone to battle 10 times and came back victorious all but once. A very strong knight, indeed.

A more feminine voice interrupts.
John? I think he’s asleep.
Through the darkness of the child’s bedroom, Johnny Magnum looks down upon the sleeping child. He smiles softly.
Yeah, yeah you’re right, sis.
Johnny leans forward and parts his nephews dirty blonde hair and kisses his forehead softly. He gets up and follows his younger sister from the room.
Thanks for being here, John. You have no idea how much that boy admires you.
Magnum seems uncomfortable and remains humble.
He’s a good kid, Mar. Don’t worry if his father’s a deadbeat. He’ll always have his Uncle Johnny.
Mar, short for Marina, turns away uneasily.
Except when you’re gone.
Mar, we talked about this.
I know, I know. It’s a weird concern for a sister to have. But I love you, John. I care about you. You’re the only big brother I’ve ever had. And, well, I don’t want anything to happen to you.
Don’t worry about me, Mar... I can handle myself. They don’t call me the gunsling superstar for nothing.

Marina smiles at her brother, who places a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Come on, let’s go start up the ‘ol Netflix and power through those final episodes of House of Cards. I can’t wait to see Francis Underwood become President of these United States!
Whoah, spoilers!
Calm down, Mar. I don’t know what happens. It’s just... the next logical step, right? I mean the story is all leading there... it’s only a matter of time.
I suppose you’re right.

The brother and sister head down the dim hallway to their living room as our scene fades to black.
