Chapter 3- Soul Seeking- Kane

It was the strangest thing ever, and I swear I am not making this up. I was going to bed when I saw something move in the corner of the room. John was fast asleep so I knew it wouldn't be him. His hotel is too ritzy to have rats. I ignored it for the moment until I saw something come closer, and tap my shoulder. I spun around, and couldn't believe my own eyes!

He stood there… smiling at me, the same kind he had when I knew him. "Owen?" I whispered.

Owen my dear friend that was taken away too soon from us… my God… why is he here before me?

He smiled to me and I could hear his ever word and feel him. "Glen… nice place" he spoke, odd thing was his mouth didn't move.

"You can't be here… how can you be!" I demanded of him.

He shrugged to me. "You never noticed me before, I'm around you guys all the time. And with my family… weird… you can see me now"

"No way" I said aloud. It couldn't be true; I am not some kid from a sixth sense movie!

I heard John moan. "Kane, you ok?" he asked in a groggy tone.

"Yeah… fine… just talking to myself" I lied.

I watched Owen move around to see John, nodding his head at him. "Nice kid" he said.

I kept my voice low. "How can I be seeing you?" I whispered.

Owen shrugged, not knowing himself. "Maybe it was that weird power you got a few months back," he said.

"Weird power?" I whispered.

He told me that he watched from a far as I battled two demon sorcerers. I used my power to destroy them only to gain theirs in return. "I watched you man… Oh that was SO COOL!"

"I don't remember any of that"

Owen told me to talk to Ray; he will explain everything to me. "Now, if you'll excuse me. I got a family I need to visit. Take care man" with that, I watched him vanish before my eyes. He was gone.

Needless to say I had a hard time sleeping that night. By the next day John and I traveled to the arena together. Cena looked at me every so often. "So… you got yourself and invisible friend?" he asked.

"Well… I suppose you can put it that way" was my reply.

John gave me a serious look. "I was only kidding," he said.

"I know, I wasn't though" was my reply.

We pulled into the parking lot, it was one of those super house shows we were doing. Where Raw and Smackdown are together for the show. This was where things got weird. I saw Animal and Heidenreich talking together. Only to see Hawk with them, standing next to them in his Road Warrior outfit. He saw me and waved towards me, I waved back unsure what I was doing.

"Whom are you waving to?" John asked.

"Uh… no one" I replied.

If you know the story of the Road Warriors, you know Hawk had passed away a while back; he seems to stay around Animal and Heidenreich.

I saw a lot of wrestlers who have departed hang around here, as if they are making sure their business stays on track. And there are those who have family members watch over them.

When I ran into the Undertaker, I saw his father looking to him with great pride. He was warming up when I saw him.

"Taker…" I said, he turned to me, seeing I looked confused.

"Yeah… you ok?" he asked.

I shook my head no. Excusing myself from John I took Taker to a locker room where we could talk alone. "What's wrong? You look freaked!" he told me.

"I am… Taker, everywhere I turn. I see people… who have passed away," I told him.

He had this odd look on his face. "Glen, you're worrying me"

"Hear me out… you're dad was watching you warm up. He had the biggest grin on his face, as you were getting ready. Animal and Heidenreich got Hawk with them and I saw Owen last night" I said with sternness in my voice.

Taker looked at me with a serious look. "How can you though?" he whispered.

I didn't know how. "I got to see Ray"

"The electrician?" he asked.

"Yeah… Owen told me to talk to him, and I would know the truth"

The Deadman came with me, we found Ray having coffee at one of the tables. Wearing torn blue jeans and a WWE t-shirt. "Ray, can we talk?" I asked him.

He looked to me with a smile. "About time you did!" He placed his cup down and started to head to the rooftop. "Follow me" he called.

I looked to Taker. "What the hell" he said as we followed him to the arena roof.

Ray was looking out over the city, when he turned to us. "You want to know why you see souls and why that weird looking guy attacked you at the bar" he stated bluntly.

"Well I'll be damned" Taker muttered.

Ray turned to look at us fully, lightning shot from his finger tips and changed his clothing to a white robe with a blue sash. "DAMN" Taker and I said at the same time.

Ray smirked. "Oh it's Raiden by the way. And Glen, I do owe you an explanation. Mark, I'm sure you can keep a secret"

Raiden went into extensive detail of what happened a few months back. I became a dragon, successor to a demon sorcerer to killing two demon sorcerers and gaining their powers. In the end becoming a mythological dragon King. I somehow didn't believe him.

"If that were true… wouldn't I remember being a Dragon King?" I asked him.

Raiden nodded. "You would, if I didn't make it so that your memories were erased… Here" he zapped both Taker and I, it was like a static shock. Yet everything that happened, I could remember!

"Glen, you're seeing things because of Shang Tsung's power. Seeing souls and all. It happens" Raiden explained.

"Doesn't seem right that I can see them and all… I mean aren't souls suppose to rest?" I asked of him.

Raiden smirked. "They came and go as they please. Many come back to watch over friends and family, it's no surprise really" he replied.

"I knew it!" Taker growled.

"What about the souls?" I asked.

"No, Owen. When something weird happens… I know it's his handy work." He stated with a smile.

"It's nothing to be concerned with Glen, you'll be fine. Now as for your attacker at the bar, Reiko is his name. He works for Shao Kahn, my brother. He wants your amulet," he explained.

The necklace, figures. "Why?"

"Shao Kahn believes there is great power in that necklace, and therefore wants it for himself to rule the realms. But he doesn't know there's no power to it"

This was rather confusing. "Then why do I have it?" I asked.

Raiden shrugged. "It belongs to the Dragon King, therefore it's yours. It's every nice on you. Gives you more depth"

"Thank you immortal guy for the mortal strange kind" I sighed aloud. "So… I'm a sorcerer and dragon King… great… just great… how do I tell the others that!" I demanded.

A grin came over Raiden's face. "Simple… don't!" he laughed, and quickly changed back to his mortal form. When he left I turned to Taker.

"Well then… people are going to think I am out of my damn head. What do you think?" I asked him.

Taker pulled out a twenty from his wallet. "I'll bet good money that McMahon puts you in a white jacket by the end of the week" he smirked.

"You're so encouraging, it shows" I replied to him sarcastically.
