Lisa was the daughter of his parent’s friends, and it was obvious from birth that the two were soulmates. They grew up together in a small, quiet town on the coast, their houses mere minutes away. It was a peaceful life. Cal and Lisa spent so many summer days whispering to each other about their dreams, of leaving their small town and exploring the world together. They dreamed of their lives together as soulmates. But it would not come to pass. When they were ten, a hurricane hit the town. It caused massive destruction and Lisa died. Cal was inconsolable when he found her lifeless body, mourning for weeks and weeks afterwards. Looking at his soulmate mark, and knowing that it would never glow again made his heart ache. At 16, he found a tattoo artist to give him a blackout tattoo on his right arm so that he wouldn’t have to look at his soulmate mark anymore. Cal couldn’t stand being around the ocean anymore, leaving his hometown as soon as he turned 18 by enlisting in the army. He served for a few years, specializing in demolitions and technology, before being honorably discharged. His service left him with scars and stories for each one, but he knew that he couldn’t just stop this line of work. After all, keeping busy meant not having to think about Lisa and the love that he had lost. So he started working for a private military contractor, rising through the ranks until he reached the rank of Colonel. His subordinates know him as a cold, distant man who, behind his exterior, truly cared for the well-being of those under his command.
