Like before, a new world appeared as Optimus and I left the portal. We walked down a stone path and arrived at a huge golden walled fortress. "Here we are, Vulcan, the heart and soul of the Lumasus army." Optimus said.

We walked up to a guard tower, who upon seeing Optimus, opened the golden doors. Optimus paused for a bit as we entered Vulcan. "I still remember that time when you came with us here and got ready to take out the Noctasus. Good times." he said. "You don't remember, do you?" he asked.

I shook my head. I didn't know what was going on, I couldn't remember anything from before that funeral. It was like I didn't live before that.

Optimus lead me through Vulcan towards a huge tower in the middle of the city. As we walked by, people would stare and start to clap. They would yell things like "It's the Ghost of War!" and "We're gonna win the war!" It was odd, one moment, I wake up, not knowing anything. Now, I have people cheering me on about a war I never agreed to. Soon, we arrived at the front gate of the huge temple. Its tall doors were old and covered in moss, they were ancient. Optimus turned to me.

"Well, you're on your own from here,
I'll get the lift running for you." he explained.

"Hey! What about all the crap that's happening to me! You didn't tell me anything!" I yelled out at him.

Optimus turned his head, "It's not my job to do that, light will get you informed. I gotta go now, later." He walked away and pulled a lever.

The ancient doors opened up, revealing a large elevator chamber inside. I looked at Optimus, he nodded, and I walked up the stairs to
The chamber. I stood in the middle of the elevator room, the doors shut with a loud bang. The floor jerked as the elevator started to rise. The torches around me lit up the ancient temple, and I found myself lost in thought.

I still couldn't get over what was happening to me. First, I wake up in the middle of a nuclear launch, not knowing anything, and now I'm being cheered on to win a war against an enemy I didnt even know. I tried to remember what happened before, what my past was, but my mind was blank. I felt so close to it, but my memory was far out of reach, like an unknown being was holding it right in front of me. I was interrupted as the lift made another jerk and stopped.

A opened a pair of smaller wooden doors in front of me, and I walked out onto a ruined balcony overlying the Vulcan Capitol. I walked out and leaned on a pillar, I looked at Vulcan, all the golden statues flashed as the sun went down. It was all new to me, the golden cities, the dark warriors, everything.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" a voice asked from beside me, I turned around. An old man wearing a white robe and several golden plates of armor walked out from behind a pillar. "The Vulcan Capitol, the pride of the guardians, but you didn't come here for sight seeing, did you?" the old man asked. "You must be Light," I asked, "Optimus told me you wanted to meet me."

"Yes, it is my job to tell you about the war being fought right now." Light said. Of all the things on my mind, a war was the least of my worries, but right now, my top priority was to be informed. I leaned against one of the pillars and listened.

"Well, I already know your name, it's ghost." Light asked, I nodded. "Well, right now, our army, The Guardians, are at war."

The legion of darkness, called the Noctasus, has tried many times to get to the rift. The rift is where Optimus picked you up, it is like the hub of all the dimensions, all of those glowing blue spheres were portals. The Noctasus wants to enslave all life in the dimensions, and darken the rift. The guardians however, won't let them do that, it is our job to protect the Rift. But the being of darkness has sent in seven dark gods to do his errands, but explaining that to you is Polemus' job, not mine."

Light finished his story, but none of my questions were answered. "You didn't tell me about what's happening to me, I have questions." I demanded.

"Quiet now, it is not my job to tell you your destiny." light explained. He brought out a pot of water and poured it into a crack in the ground. He put the pot down and lifted his hand, a glowing energy emanated from his palm. Light pointed his hand at the water and shot out a bolt of energy, the crack began to glow and expand.

The small crack in the ground slowly expanded into a large rune shape. The rune let out a bright light, and the pieces of cement broke apart. The chunks of cement whirled around in the portal that had been formed. I looked up at light, who was under strain. "Go on Ghost! Jump in, I can't hold open the portal for long!" Light yelled.

I jumped in, and I felt as if I was falling through an endless pit. I closed my eyes, where was my destiny taking me next? I hushed my thoughts, and let myself fall through the portal, letting destiny guide me.
