"Why? I am but a lowly human, why does master desire my assistance? A human, He has many demons at His disposal, much more powerful then a trifling human, with so many weaknesses it is too hard to stand… Emotions, pain, life and death. What use could I possibly posses for my Master?"
"You will know soon enough, but first you must escape from the Holy Plane, each moment you stay there, the Sin within you weakens. Go into the forest, my lower minions will not try to harm you. Go to the forest beyond the fork in the path, you will be spoken to later."
"Yes master." The lady shadow then starts in a quick pace across the plane, ready to find out why her master wishes for her assistance…
Curiosity…
The room slowly fades into light, as each candle is lit in the room of the teachings, dimly lit, the faces of many monks surround the charred body of the once great monk, Auden. At the end of Audens body lies Brian, the Grand Abbot shadows the face of the monk, as everyone in attendance prays for his recovery. A dark day it is for the Monastery, as the monks pray for the one who was brutally maimed by the onslaught of Unholy power. The Water Master of the Monastery, whilst praying, casts numerous healing spells on Auden, but little has been able to help him. His body has slowly gotten better, but his life is starting to fade, only time will tell if he will live, even in the house of the Holy.
A deep forest, darkened by the shadow of the trees, a calm hushes its simple greatness. Numerous animals are found, eating, drinking… fighting… as a Human-like wolf and a large Warrior Frog, two lower minions of the Unholy God, are controlled to fight each other for the sadistic entertainment of the demons, the human shadow stands and watches, bringing memories of what she would do as a demon, watching wars and fighting…
The wolf lets out a low growl, signaling the use of an attack, as it sends a punch through midair, sending a brilliant ball of fire at the frog. It dodges this with relative ease and starts to run off, as the wolf follows in pursuit, obviously the faster of the two. Minutes have gone by, the wolf closing in, it decides to strike with another flame at the frog with its fist… Just what the frog wanted, as the frog warrior gets to its knees and hops backwards behind the wolf, who of which is immobile, making its fireball. It lets out a victorious croak as it runs a small distance from the wolf, and croaks once again, this time to let out a devastating whirlwind that picks up the wolf, and throws it into the sky. The frog is not done yet, however, as it sends its final blow with a devastating wind blade attack, sending three blades at the wolf from midair, each blade hacking and slashing through the body of the wolf, until the winds finally shake and dissolve. The once proud wolf now lies in the middle of the wooded plane, minced, as the victorious frog walks to the head of his competitor and slowly starts to eat it in victory, a tradition of the minions of Sinas when they win in a battle to the death.
The human shadow has not seen such a strategy in quite a while, which is a slight relief to her as she applauds the frogs efforts.
"Yeh, ah deh une sen' by meh mahsteh, righ'?" Speaks a voice from the side of the shadow.
"The beast king, I presume?" Speaks the shadow, now turning to see nothing.
"Yea, I be him, fo'give meh foah not show'n meself, but meh idetity mus' be kep' secret… Gah… Bah, AHHHHH!" Suddenly the strange man screams from the shadows, but abruptly stops after only a couple seconds, "Bumbling fool, that's all he is… I will give you a place with me in Sinais, I heard your mind asking why, this is only because you are human, if you do as I say, I will strip you of your humanity upon the finish of my orders, you will be a demon once again."
"Yes master, what is it you desire of me?"
"I can view only little on this world, I am losing power to see what is stopping my plans and I can't directly stop the child… So… You must do so instead. I want you to lead him into a trap, lead him to me, so I can destroy him myself… I will, only then, be able to break from my prison, and return to Sinas, where I will make the world a place of Sin, a place where the Holy God will have no power.
Become trusted by the humans, with their trust, we will grow! We will lure the child, and you have what we need, once the child is destroyed, nothing will stop its power!"
"You mean the-"
"Yes, woman, go to the place where the towers reach 'The Door', we will leave it there. Earn the humans' trust, or you will pay dearly."
Without words, the shadow turns and runs off into the trees, to fulfill the wishes of her master.
"Wah deh 'ell? Meh masteh wahted meh to do somethin', wha' was it? Peh, I jus' go teh meh quartehs…"
The body is now only welted over most of his body, after a few days of prayer, only a few monks are needed to help, but Brian stays here anyways, to help out his friend, Auden, to heal from his battle. His mind is fully on prayer, not on the hunger resulting from three full days without food or water, as he stays on his knees… Oblivious to the plot of the Unholy God.
