Prologue

It's a relatively cold morning and five hooded figures are causing trouble for the village.

Two of them drag an old man from his hut as his wife screams in agony but before they could move further a small weak-looking child stops them.

"Hey you thugs! Who are you? Leave them alone! Ugh.. Wait till Doc hears about this !" said the child with a smirk on his face."

Both of them laugh and mock the child before kicking him away.

Two villagers rush to a small cottage at the end of the road. As they slam open the gate the stale air inside rushes out. There's a smell of cigars in the air, they adjust their eyes to the dark and see a man in his forties sitting upright on his couch wiping his glasses. One of the villager steps forward and speak up to the man-

"Doc ! Sir Lucian !!! There are some thugs- no I mean some intruders who are causing ruckus in the village and harming our people-" said the old man as he was cut off by Lucian.

"Hmm is that so?" said Lucian.

He slowly gets up and moves towards the door. The two villagers could feel a dense aura from the man as he puts on his mask and steps into the light. He grabs his long coat and wears it as the cold wind brushes his hair.

Lucian walks to the site and finds five men in hood threatening the villagers and their livestock.

"You've got some nerve trying to cause trouble when I'm still alive and kicking...."

 They noticed Lucian walking and one of them exclaimed-

"Hey old man, no need to be a hero alright? It's useless.. You better get lost before we kick your kunji." (kunji- pelvic area in tamil)

The hooded man steps towards Lucian cracking his knuckles in a way to threaten him.

In the blink of an eye, Lucian grabs a surgical scissor from his coat and as the man was a foot from his face-   

SLASH!..

There was no noise, the man just fell flat on the ground. The other figures scream-

"Y-You bastard- What in the world did you do ?" asked the second intruder as his voice cracked.

"Well lets just say he's circumcised.."

The second and third henchmen charge forward with the intent to kill. Lucian exhales and dashes towards 'em, before they could realise he is behind them. Both of them turn, Lucian with a blaze, takes out a spray can of chloroform and sprays it on both of 'em. They cough and gasp for air before fainting.

Lucian takes out a bible from his coat and stares at the fourth henchman with his eyes dead set on him. The fourth one pulls out a knife and charges as the fifth watches him get whacked on his skull with the book.

"Hey now, take it easy on me.. I'm just an old doctor you know?"

The fifth one screamed and began running. Lucian scoffs as he walks towards him with a scalpel.

Lucian on top of four bodies warns the fifth one-

"So if that's all, then whoever sent you here, tell them you are not welcome.. This village won't give in until I drop dead.." 

The fifth henchman crawls his way out the village.

The villagers cheer as the man steps down from the pile and walks towards his cottage; they thank him.

(inside the cottage)-

Lucian removes the coat and mask and moves on to wash his face. Once he's done he takes the mask and robe to his bed and shuts them in the cupboard as he hears Laria call for food.

"So dear.. about the people who were trying to pillage the village today.. We have a child now to take care of and It's too dangerous around here.  It seems like we need to finally move out of this villa-" 

said Laria as she was cut off by Lucian.

"Dear, we've talked about this many times now. There's no way we can let our people suffer just because we are scared of some lowly henchmen can we? It's too selfish of us to do that. If we can't do that, the same mistakes from history will be repeated over and over again and we'll only lose more of our people. We must also do it for the sake of our son as well."

 Lucian said while dusting off the chair and sitting on it near Laria.

"The people from this village have nowhere else to go.. This is their only home. This village is special and I'm pretty sure many people would want to have this village for themselves.. I know our son will become a strong young man and help us out as well. Well, one can only hope.." said Lucian as he caressed her hair.

"We should probably send him abroad for his education. In that way he won't be caught with these problems in our village." said Lucian.

Laria nods.
