"It rains to much." I thought silently to myself. It always saddens me when it rains. This world is entirely to dark, to emmersed in shadow and pain. The constant wars, the bloodshed and death. It pollutes the very air. Monsters, both natural and un-natural, roam this land sowing discord under the authority of the dark one.
After many years, mankind finally stood up, marching against the darkness that prevailed upon our land. If anything was to change we had to do it ourselves, the gods have long since forgotton us and in their absence, due to our own cowardice allowed the situation to reach this abyssmal level. So we march ever onward towards our own freedom to our salvation. My Mother leads the charge against the dark one, The Beast.
Having acquired a Holy power, she taught others to harness it as well, together they formed The Crusaders, their mission, Purge the Darkness. And me, as the son of the Great Light, Lady Angela the White. I needed to be strong to preserve her image. So after years of practice and training I finally did it, Unlocked my powers, Unlimited stregth and durability, incredible physical speed and reactions. All of my physical abilitys heightened to titanic proportions. But it came at a cost, a limit you could say. Music, sounds dark and fast. As long as I could hear music I could fight, but the limit is when the music ends, my power fails and I become weaker than a child. Its a serious weakness, so I found a way around it, music magic. I couldnt use magic myself as only females can, but I could get an enchanter to make an item that continously plays music. I had one fashioned and rode off to meet my mother in the final charge. After 5 years it was all coming to a close, the Beast had been cornered.
"Push forward!" I could here my mother yell from the sky with the rest of her Angel Raiders. I charged forward, the ground cracking underfoot at my stregth and speed, I tore through the front lines in a shower of blood, monsters rained from the sky in pieces as I ripped their bodies apart from the force I hit them with. Monsters tried to stop me, dragons and hydras tried incinerateing me. It was hot but it wasnt enough. I ripped through dragon hide, crushed hydra heads beneath my feet. Trolls and giants attempted to crush me beneath their massive hammers and clubs. I easily caught them and obliterated them. Giants fell and trolls died their streght insignifcent against my own. As long as the music rung out I was unstoppable, indestrucible, a walking force of nature. As I progress my mother unleashed the full might of her magic. If I was a force of nature, she was a of pure magical power. Compared to her, my power was insignificant. The army of darkness was washed away in her light. Bodies turned to dust under the wave of power, leaving us unntouched. I march up to the dark castle, grip the doors an pull. With a dark squeal, it gives way and my mother instructs us to remain outside, "Stay here son, this will soon end. Allow no one else to enter." she tells me. "Aye." I responded.
Mere minutes later the ground trembles and shakes, the darkest evil suddenly permeated the air. I was suddenly feeled with dread, fearing for my mothers safety I rushed in hopeing for the best. I found her being attacked relentlessly. I suddenly lost all reason and tackled the beast with my full might holding nothing back. I tried to crush it in my arms but it was to strong to powerful, I could barely hold it in one place. My mother started to chant, I recognized it. A summon chant. Mother only knew one summon, The summons of the Goddess of Creation and Balance.
A mighty light filled the room and a shapeless form appeared. I could hear nothing. But what happened next, that sealed my fate. She started a binding spell with the goddess. Pain filled my being as my mother willed her magic to entrap me and the beast. The Beast's form broke apart and drifted inside me and bound to my soul mergeing us for all eternity. Otherworldly pain filled my being and the goddess raised her arm and seals formed around me. Chains, black as night and smoldering like coals, bound themselves to me as shackles formed around my wrists, feet and neck. "I truely am sorry child, but for the rest of forever you shall be bound here, in this dark castle alone with the beast. For all time, unageing and unchangeing." the goddess said. My cry shook the heavens, dark demonic power rushed forth, seeping into the seals corrupting them, the goddess power surged forth and wiped it away. But unknown, the damage had been done, minor as it was. My mother spared me one look and turned on heel and strode out head held high. The last thing I saw was that smirk. The one she wore when she put down the weak. She didnt even try to explain it all, she...just left.
To Lady Angela that was the end, To me, It was enlightenment. "Beware White Lady, One day I shall return, darkness will hearald my coming. Music shall fill your halls with agony and fear. The Dark Beat, shall thrum with lust for blood, you shall feel my wrath, remember, the lowest circle of hell is made for traitors. I shall drag you there myself!" I roared as she left the castle.
To many, the end is only the beginning, and when betrayal is involed, it begins with pain.
