Tom woke up to see a cop with a very twisted face and died red skin on the floor and Tattoo Man struggling with another strange cop. The chief and what he saw was Zander from his badge were lying on the floor. Another weird-looking cop was standing over him and holding his gun at Tom's head. Tom leapt up off the floor and kicked the cop in his 'weak spot'. The man dropped the gun as Tom lunged to pick it up. The cop was still making a high-pitched squeaky noise. As he looked towards Tattoo Man he saw that he was on the floor and that the weird guy he had been fighting was pointing a gun at Tom. Tattoo Man jumped off the floor and leaped off the floor and punched the weird cop in the head. As he did that the weird guy pulled the trigger and Tom felt a searing pain go through his left shoulder as everything faded away.
Tom woke up this time in a large room with blurry figures surrounding him. He stared blearily at the shadowy face that was peering down at him.
"He's awake!" He heard someone shout from faraway.
"Good. Let him really wake up." Another voice that was little louder than a whisper answered.
Tom blinked a few times as the room slowly came into focus and the figures were recognizable. He sat up and saw that he was in a sheet metal shack with wooden supports.
"You're in a shack in the foothills off the city." The tattooed cop explained. "We loaded you into a car and took you here after the three cops attacked us. But of course Zander told us that these weren't humans but. Guess what, demons! Oh yeah I'm Rick."
"OK. Question for you. If both of our ancestors had the great powers that you say they have then why do I have the 'Prophecy of Light and you don't?"
"We honestly don't know that but we will once we find out your dream means." Rick said meaningfully.
Tom took a deep breath and related his dream to the others.
"Okay. My guess is that the red haired girl is the 'tipper of the scales'." James explained in a monotonous voice. "I think this because has a sister who wears a red armlet and looks just like you described her. Now, I think that the location you described has to do with the civilization that had the 'Steeds of Evil' in their mythology: The Aztecs. Also the Aztecs worshipped the four 'Gods of the Sun' Redria, Blueful, Skyly, and Viridia. Each of the sun gods is a god of Light. The god Redria had a son who was called Oran. Oran was the shadow of the sun that pinned the evil god of the moon; Whittil, down whenever he rose up from his icy prison. I think that you represent Redria and Rick represents Oran since he should only have a shadow of your abilities. You also represent Yellowboze: the god of Courage and the sword. The fact that you had the sword in your hand and that you were trying to save that girl is the reason I think you are Yellowboze. I believe that you have the abilities of all of us only not as fine-tuned as ours. You are an all-rounder. And Rick is an all-rounder with half of your abilities in each area.
"I believe that Zander is Skyly who is the element of wind. I also believe that I am Viridia who is the element of Earth. I am the god of Earth because since I am the one who is a double-edged blade. I can be dark or I can be Light since I have two personalities. My hosts real personality is Light and I am also Light but in a roundabout way I am Dark."
Everyone agreed with James's alter ego's hypothesis and we agreed that we could discuss it further tomorrow as it was late. Zander checked the wound in my shoulder where the bullet had hit me and redressed it. Then Rick threw me a sleeping bag and we all drifted off to the land that we had just decoded.
