Note: To prevent confusion, this takes place IN BETWEEN Chapter 7 and 8, RIGHT after the warriors separated. This explains a bit of the Prophet's background. The chapter wasnt in my original story, so it isn't that long, but the Prophet needed an explanation. Enjoy :D.


Chapter 9: A Lowered Barrier

Staring out of the window in his home, the Prophet looked onto the six warriors from afar, and was curious what he would do after Shadow had left. They wore sad faces, as they each headed in their own different direction, away from each other. The Prophet knew what Shadow had told them, and they decided to do it.


"Shadow… what is his purpose…" the Prophet wondered.

He sat on his chair, and closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep, attempting to see what the future holds. A blinding flash flickered before him, as his entire body began to feel an enormous amount of heat. Quickly, he opened his eyes, and had sweat all over his body.

"What is… the meaning of this… "

Pacing around impatiently, thoughts circling in his mind, the Prophet wondered what this vision meant. What did this mean to the fate of the warriors? The Prophet looked out of his window, and had realized the sun had set. He rested himself on his bed, and attempted to sleep, still feeling the heat upon his frail, old body.


"Mommy!" cried out a girl outside, pointing at the sky. "Look at the star! It's glowing!"

The mother looked up, and a thunderbolt struck the prophets house, setting it on fire. The woman quickly grabbed her child and fled from the flames. A rain of thunderbolts fell from the heavens, striking every house in the entire town, as people ran for their lives. The Prophet awoke, noticing the red flames, and quickly ran past them. The calm town was glowing a dark red, as everything within it had been ignited with flames. The Prophet turned to his left, and noticed a small gathering of people, surrounded by huge red flames.

"PROPHET!" they cried out. "PLEASE, HELP US!!"

The Prophet rushed as fast as he could, hearing the cries of them, both from the children and elders. A huge wave of fire fell over the people, and each of their bodies burst into flames. They ran around in pain, as an explosion came from above, killing them, and turning them into ashes. The Prophet looked up and saw Agon, her cane extended over the remnants of the townspeople.

"Where are you saviors now, Prophet?" she asked in an evil chuckle. "WHERE ARE THEY!!?"

She launched an enormous wave of fire towards him, but he jumped behind a house, away from her sight.

"Your lucky I let you live this long, Prophet…"

"You had nothing to do with it!"

"What, do you think you escaped from my castle that easily? You were under my control. I grew bored with your babbling! Always warning me of such insignificant things! I had no use for you anymore!"

"I'm not your slave anymore, Agon! You will be stopped! Mark my words, you will be destroyed!!"

"SILENCE!!"

Another blast came from her hand, destroying the house that hid him, causing him to fall under the remnants of it, unable to move. Agon was still unable to see him, as she searched around, looking for the Prophets Body. The Prophet heard the woofing of a black dog, as Interceptor appeared before him.

"Interceptor…"

The small dog attempted to pull the old man from under the pile of wood, but wasn't able to. The Prophet stared at Interceptor, as he ripped a large piece from his white robe, and doused his finger in soot, and began to write something. Then, he gave it to the dog, and wrapped it around his collar.

"Go Interceptor… GO!!"

The black dog let out a small whimper, then obeyed, as he quickly rushed back, towards his master. The Prophet looked up into the sky and saw Agon floating there.

"PROPHET!" she yelled out. "I KNOW YOU'RE STILL ALIVE! AND KNOW THIS! YOUR WARRIORS WILL DIE AT MY HANDS! I ONLY WISH YOU WOULD BE ALIVE TO SEE IT!!"

She raised her hand, forming a large ball of fire, and then launched it at the center of town. The Prophet kept his eyes on Agon, seeing her float towards the red sky, and disappear. He saw a large Yellow Beam fly past the area where Agon was, as the ball made impact with Albrook. It caused a massive explosion, causing everything to collapse, and ignite on fire. The moon was high, as it shun upon the remnants of the shattered town, and the corpses within it. Albrook was no more.
