Chapter. 11

"Maya?" I couldn't believe that it was her, I thought she was gone. I stumbled my way back to my feet, "Is that really you?" Hell, I was probably dead for all I knew.
"Yes, it's me Darick." Maya said, her voice full of happiness. I tried to walk over to the tree, but I kept stumbling, while she just stood there. "Are you ok?" She said moving towards me, pushing the leaves aside catching them on fire. Revealing her body of fire I was instantly reassured it was her.

That's right she was a fire elementals. You see before the great mushroom war elementals had started to pop up due to radiation and things along that line and, for now, let's just say that one thing lead to another and me and maya had gotten together.

Having no energy left I fell forward into her arms, blacking out for a second. My eyes reopened to see Maya, holding me in her arms underneath the branches. Her fiery hair flowing beautifully as she brought her hands across my face. "Morning sleepy head." She said with her glowing red smile.
"But, how?" was all I could mutter, I was so confused It wasn't funny. As if to answer me she placed her hand above where my heart rested, making the mark that laid underneath the clothing Glow brightly.
"Because of this silly. Don't you remember?" What? Was she talking about the mark. She seemed to notice my confusion. "Don't stress yourself too much on it. Do you remember when we used the ritual?"
"Of course, That was the day we got engaged." The ritual was called the ritual of Joreh-Johridia, something like that. It was supposed to bond us in a way that her fires didn't burn me, and so I couldn't harm her, not that I could if I tried. "But what does that have to do with this?"
"Well, when we were bonded, A piece of your heart was put in me, and a piece of my flame was put in your heart."
"I don't understand."
"Well, I've been waiting here, in your heart. I think that as long as you live I can always be brought, back. I've been living here, experiencing what you have." I grabbed her hand and used whatever strength I could to lean up into her. I had brought my lips to hers, my wife's. We had sat there before breaking away. "The only problem is that my body is probably gone, so..."
"Damnit!" I hit the ground. Of course another thing holding me back from things I love. "Can't I at least come here to see you anytime I want?"
" I'm sorry," I started to do something I hadn't done since I was a kid. I started to cry. She held me close trying to silence my tears, but I felt hers being shed too. "Listen, I don't want you to be hung up on me, especially when there is no hopes of us being together again."
"Don't SAY THAT! I'm sorry I didn't mean to shout."
"Please just do this for me, find someone that can make you happy, like marceline." She knew! suddenly a sense of shame and embarrassment washed over me. "Just find someone, Promise me."
"I'll always love you."
"Stop it!" she said as I saw tears falling from her face. I brought my hand up to her cheek. "You always do this, you change the subject when you aren't comfortable. Just promise me."
"But we're married."
"No, I'm dead."
"Not yet. Not until I stop trying, and I won't now that I know there is a chance. No matter how small." Somehow I found the strength to stand up. As did she.
"I know how determined you can get, just promise me." She was holding me close to her, looking at me with those puppy dog eyes.
"Fine. I promise, but I also promise that I won't stop trying to get us together." She sighed.
"Guess that's as good as I'm gonna get. Now go back to your brother and help him, you've been here long enough." Then I felt something tear me away from me.
"Maya!" I screamed and screamed for her till I couldn't anymore, till I was enveloped by darkness. I then felt another voice joining me in the silence. It was calling my name. "Maya?" I called my voice suddenly weak.
"Darick...on man...up" for some reason I could only understand some of what he was saying, but I heard enough to know who was talking. I opened my eyes as I started to come to, suddenly I could make more sense of what finn and the flambit were saying. "Flambo, I think he is waking up."
"Cools, but the shadows are starting to disappear from around him bro." Shadows. Ugh, I wasn't in the mood for another explanation.
"Yeah and his marks stopped glowing, even the one above his heart. Dude, I'm worried about Darick, the mark has moved further up his shoulder." Well there we go more bad news, looks like I'm not getting any brakes for a while.
"Well you shouldn't be worried." I interjected, making the other two jump back, then it occurred to me. "Hey finn how come you're still alive, not that I'm not glad."
"Well, when you were unconscious, after flambo woke me up, The book glowed again revealing another sentence. It said 'Trial one: Only the heroes of strength could survive falls the heights of skyscrapers' well I don't know what skyscrapers are, but I think that means I can survive from High falls." He said with the Biggest grin plastered across his face.
It quickly faded, "Hey Darick, what's with the shadows and the marks? Are you evil?" he asked with a serious, yet sad look on his face. Me, I just laughed. When I stopped I could see that finn and flambo had a puzzled look on their face.

"Well, I wish it was that simple, but no." He seemed to release a deep breath of relief. "I guess the simplest way to explain it is that I am a hero of the shadows, of night, or whatever. I am also sort of an assassin even though I don't like to be, and I'm an ArchAngel, but let's walk and talk. We can't be wasting time." I stood up and analyzed the area, we seemed to be in a big chasm with columns laying miscellaneously amongst the ground. As I tracked the walls the seemed to verge together into a singular hallway. "Common."

Flambo hopped onto my shoulder and we were off. We had made it down into the hallway which transformed into that of which the romans used, before Finn asked his first question. "So, Is that what the guard was talking about when he said you became immensely more powerful?"

"Yepperoni."

"So what is an ArchAngel?" Now that is something I hadn't thought about since I was fourteen.

"Well, they were mighty warriors for the deity, or god as people of the christian faith called him. They weren't living humans, more like souls with great strength and power to try and keep things right in the world. I just happen to have the soul of said ArchAngel."
"Well what about the mark on Your chest?" I stopped where I was standing looking down. I, again started to leak tears from my eyes only small amounts, dripped down my face. Finn turned around and stopped looking at me. "What's wrong? I didn't say something bad did I?"
"Nah bro, Just sensitive memories. I don't feel like saying much now but in the future I'll explain, it's just... I made a promise."
"Well It seems significant, Is there anything about it that you could tell me about It." I started to hear a humming noise come from an opening to our right.
"Well, It is called the- Watch out!" I leaped at finn tackling him out of the way as gargoyles crashed into the wall above our heads. "GET UP AND COME ON!" I yelled yanking myself and finn of the ground. Making a run ahead as more gargoyles came around the corner. I slipped my hand into the bag to pull something out of a side pocket, but instead found a small amount of C4 in its container, That'll do I thought to myself.
The gargoyles were catching up quickly as they flew after us. I pulled the C4 out of hits container, slipped a blasting cap on it, and dropped it. A few steps later I grabbed my brother, "Get on the ground!" I tackled him to the ground covering his ears as I flipped the switch for the C4 to detonate, killing the gargoyles and collapsing the hallway behind us.
As we stood up and dusted ourselves off I decided to crack a joke to lighten the mood. "Well we're not getting out that way." I heard flambo laugh but that was all.
"Man my rings are ringing and what was that explosion?"
"Ah just some C4."
"Ah what?"
"Not important. Get out your pistol Finn" He got out his as did I. "Ok, listen closely, It seems that these guys can't take too hard of a hit otherwise they will shatter. So, aim for center of mass."
"All right, center of mass I think I can handle that. Umm, What is center of mass?" I mentally face palmed myself. Sadly it didn't seem that he was very well educated, but he was a good warrior.
"Mass, refers to the somethings physical form, so the center of their body."
"Cool, I totes got this." I then felt a breeze of air blow through my hair. I licked my finger and put it up into the air to see where it was coming from. "What are you doing?"
"Checking to see where this breeze is coming from." I moved my way over to some rubble and found an opening just big enough for Flambo to fit through. I picked the little guy up off of the ground, "Listen flambo, you crawl out of here and find your way back to the fire kingdom and when you're there tell the flame king what has happened. This should lead back outside."
"Gotcha. Well see yous." Then the flambit crawled through the opening leaving me and finn to out thoughts.
"Come on finn, lets go." When we started to walk again we remained silent, our guns at the ready. At this point, my special forces training kicked in. I was checking every corner quickly and thoroughly as we moved through the hallway.
We then came into an open room where there was a big open room with all sorts of old, lavish furniture, like chairs, couches, chandeliers, on the other end there was what seemed to be a fortification that formed a half circle.
"Come on finn, I want to check something out real quick." As I came closer to It I could see that the fortifications were mostly made of jersey barriers. I looked over and saw notches in the walls and little paddles in the sides at the bottom of the wall. It was an elevator.
"Darick! Somethings happening over here!" I turned to see my brother, and a horribly familiar sight.
