Sly's Journal
The Untamed Wilds
Downtime
Sly remembers his dreams
Sly wanders through the streets. He has enough food. But... The dream flickers through his mind. Wealth, abundance. Power.
Trust.
He wants more.
Sly finds an apartment building. Older, multiple stories. Abandoned.
He does a running jump. A foot on the wall, and a jump to the ladder of the fire escape.
He grabs the lowest rung, preparing for the drop.
It doesn't come.
Sly holds on by fingertips, and his weight doesn't force the ladder down.
He frowns.
With a swing, a transferring of momentum Sly's feet are where his hands were.
He puts his hands out to balance, ready to grab with his hands if his feet slip.
They don't.
The rung is slippery sly can feel it beneath him. But he is adjusting. His weight shifting quickly.
He has gotten better than he expected.
Sly continues up the fire escape.
He finds a dark apartment. He slips a wire into it. It's tricky. The lock on the mirror is rusted. Heavily. It is a struggle, and then.
There is a push in Sly's mind a bit of power flows through his body, the same way it feels when he shifts his form. His hands move just right, and the lock pops open.
Sly looks down at his hands.
He remembers the dream.
The promise of power.
He remembers Kel and Felix.
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
