Author's note: After many considerations, years of work and a yearning to come back to the lands of the Double Kingdom with you guys, I give you the missing episode between my third season of Papyrus and the end of the second one. Inspired in the marvelous music of Tomas Bergersen and his wonderful Two Steps from Hell, a story that will surely give you the shivers and that will give you a good time. Dedicated to my good friend ZeroFolle!
Here's to you: Skyworld.
1. All Is Hell That Ends Well
Many tales come from the Double Kingdom, some of gods and heroes, others of beauty and treachery. The few ones I've heard in the last days are of joy and celebration with the fall of the priest of the Cursed God. The hero is home, love is in the air and all seems to be going to the right way, but we gods know better.
Nothing is buried and forgotten until all whispers have died down. The rumors in the shadows are getting high again; it's time to wake the beast that sleeps in Thebes. It's time to call on old friends and mysteries to prevent the storm that is brewing in the south. Aker is gone but his followers are still lurking in the shadows. Joy should never cloud our judgment or else.
So arise now, my brothers.
We are still awake and we see the dark clouds gathering. Come closer for a new dawn is coming. The Wise Man will follow, this I know. Celebrate while you still can, mortals. The hour is at hand for the People of the North to come back to you for another battle till dawn. I can see Thebes from where I'm standing and this will be our best chance to put our differences aside. Me brothers and I shall be the ones to lead this fight to its prime. For it is the Riddler who speaks now and the Spirits who follow him.
Speak now, Child of No Name. You and I shall meet again. You will need what I have and I'll need your courage to pull this one through. For the enemy is about to leap on us, for the time to pursue shadow has come and the day of the swords has come. All Is Hell That Ends Well…
First stop and small peek.
See you soon!
