“No, no, no!” Kira repeated as she stumbled and cradled Angst in her arms, as Aura had left him go and was now staring at the Da’Emon. “I should have seen it was going to happen, I should have known!” “Kira, it’s no use!” Daniel spat, turning his head to reveal to everyone the tears pouring. “It was fated we lose him here; Fortis’Petra was testing our emotions, nothing more.” “It’s strange.” Aura spoke, though whether aimed at Fortis’Petra or otherwise she was not sure. “Everything suddenly makes sense, the reason he was so fearful of spears&hell

Angst stumbled in a daze towards the pyramid. If there really was a moment one’s life flashed before their eyes before the moment of their death, Angst’s was, by far, prolonged. Vivid images of his childhood arose before him. It was as though we were reliving everything. Literally taking a trip down memory lane. Why? He repeated in his mind, continuously and obsessively. He began to scratch his neck, enflaming his skin in red. Why, why, why? “Angst, you seem really tense. Have you been here before?” Aura asked, slowly. She spoke gently, careful not to say anything hurtful. She sensed something was wrong. Anyone coul

In an aphotic room, the five senses were limited. The only sounds were a constant dripping of water every minute, and the consistent feeble moans of a man. There was no change for another exiguous moment until, suddenly, a creek insinuated a door opening. A glimpse of light. The man's pupils dilated, implying he experienced a severe flash blindness. The light revealed the man was half-naked. Long, greasy, black hair covered most of his face. Many deep cuts and scars and filled his body to the point skin was more scarce than gashes. There was a solid patch of crimson littered around his body. As he slowly grew accustomed to the light, he wa

Genesis looked over at his mentor in anguish. As he scurried to the spot Daniel had pointed at, he couldn't look at anything but the ground. His emotions spiralled out of control. "I can't allow Daniel to get to me like this anymore." He muttered under his breathe. He reached the spot and summoned his scythe. Looking up at Daniel, he saw the torment in his friend's eyes. "Daniel…" Daniel summoned his bow. The camp fire glistened in the crystals of the weapon, causing the bow to take on an orange-red tint. He targeted Genesis. The words of Astra ran in his mind. The intent to kill. "Genesis, what would you do if I had the killing inten

"Come with me." The King ordered, suddenly, after a strange silence between him and the warriors. He pointed in the direction of his throne. The warriors remained speechless. "Angst," he continued, "I would like you to follow too." With his words the King began to walk ahead. Angst turned towards the warriors and signalled them to follow him. "You should stay close. I honestly have no idea what the King has in mind." Without questioning, Daniel, Hope and Kira walked alongside Angst. Genesis turned to Aura and shrugged. His head sank. Aura sighed. "He's the King… he wouldn't do anything silly. Besides, he's our lead to the Pulsus." Ge

At the other end of the portal, Genesis found himself on a narrow pathway surrounded by trees. Daniel, Hope, Kira and Aura stood in front of him. The strong, rancid stench of fire could be smelt in the distance. "You took your time." Aura stated. "Come on," she said as she pointed in the direction the pathway led. "Termus is a few minutes away." Kira shook as she and the rest of the group began to walk. "I really doubt we're ready for this, guys. I'm sorry..." Daniel rushed beside Kira and placed his arms around her shoulder. "Hey, it's fine...we all have our doubts, right? We'll rise above the clouds if they don't disappear." He glanced o
