Chapter 63: Nest

• Alan Stockholm had returned to heal at the place he considered to be his Nest. This ‘Nest’ was located on top of an office complex, that had been bombed and the roof had partially collapsed. Yet, the ruined building suited him perfectly. Especially since it was also the tallest of the remaining downtown buildings. 
• Growing up in the wild lands, to the far north east of Moab City, his parents raised him to believe in the Spirits of Earth and that every person had possession of a Spiritual Animal Guide. The Guide was to lead and empower its host human to become the strongest and most powerful over all the others. Alan's Spiritual Animal was the Bald Eagle, and this building was his nest. Those that were ranked under him, lived in the building’s floors below.
• Though the Skull had a legitimate stronghold, Alan couldn't stand being there. Everyone and everything there, including the air, was stifling and oppressive. To him it felt as if he was in a burning Beavers lodge. A place unfit for an Eagle.
