Here we go the conclusion to the three-part city of mirrors series, will Raven live or will his brother slay him for a past Raven isn't even sure of. So without further ado I give you,

Chapter XI, City of mirrors part three, A prelude to the end, hidden power revealed.

Raven looked up with a look of shock as one half of his blade lay on the floor shattered from the rest of its hilt. Raven then jumped back away from Burning star ready for whatever was thrown his way. Burning Star walked slowly towards defenseless Raven as he was embracing for impact but Burning Star picked Raven up and began to drain a red essence from him but all of a sudden the spirit of Raven's father took over Raven.

Raven kicked Burning Star in the neck and was instantly let go. "I thought I put you under the hex." The demonic voice roared from Raven.

"You did but my master revived me." Burning Star, the shell of Raven's brother replied.

"Your master? I am your only master now bow down to me." Raven sent out an orange lighting bolt and it but Burning Star on his knees.

"Even if you kill me the Apollo will bring me back." Burning Star laughed even though he didn't even know the Apollo or any of his followers. Raven then casted another lighting bolt and picked up Desonus' weapon and drove it through the heart of Burning Star but Burning star just got back up. "Fool, I was already dead, mortal injuries can not kill me!" He took the blade and smacked Raven across the face with the rod. Raven flew into the wall and instantly picked himself back up like it was nothing.

"So, I guess I will have to torture your soul out of this hollow body." He raised Burning Star and a red beam connected to Burning Star and he began to yell as his soul was tortured and his mind was warped. "I just want to know one thing before I vanish your soul to oblivion, why did you come here?"
"I was told that Raven was the one that killed my wife and kids. I sought to take revenge for my family and me. But now I see, Raven isn't the monster, you are. Raven could turn out to save the world, you could rot his mind to destroying it. I will do everything in my power to make sure Raven turns out to be on our side. Not just to save earth, but to piss you off." Burning Star was once again treated to being tortured and finally Raven stopped to say something.

"I killed you and your family so you wouldn't meddle in my affairs with Jack. I had the blade, but you and your damn sister, I WOULD HAVE RULED THE WORLD BUT YOU HAD TO KILL ME AND MAKE THAT BRAT'S FAMILY GUARD THE BLADE FROM ME AND JACK! THEN JACK WOULD TRY AGAIN LATER IN LIFE AND DIE TRYING TO GET THE BLADE! I SWEAR I HOPE THIS IS SO PAINFUL THAT AVO WOULD SHAKE IN FEAR OF THIS POWER!" The red beamed surged extremely fast and Burning Star's body exploded but having no internal organs or blood just fragments of armor scattered the ground. Raven looked at his hands, still his father, and went over to Nahadia. "You see that bitch? That is the true power of Raven. If you ever backstab or try to talk my child out of getting this blade, I personally will kill you." Raven's father tried to pick up Nahadia but all of a sudden there was some kind of resistance. Raven's real self stood in soul form in front of his father holding him back.

"Father, I will not allow you to hurt her." Raven looked into his own eyes.

"Son, don't you see? She will be your down fall. She will be the one that will end my legacy. You will get this blade and you will rule Albion!" His father yelled as they still struggled pushing each other back.

"Rule Albion? Why? My goal is just to get the sword. I never said I was going to over throw Albion. And second of all…how…how did you get into my body!"
"I am a soul, I can not go to Avo and Skorm is afraid of me. I had to find something to do. I mean I thought you would be all for taking over this town. I mean you are my child, I was maybe the biggest slaughterer know to Albion. Why don't remember anything about your child hood? It's because it never happened. You were brainwashed for many years and kept at the age you were when you entered the academy. We waited till after the Great War to let you live a life. I see now that I might have been a mistake but I want you to see what happened to me before I died." Raven's father then entered Raven's mind and showed him this last memory,

Raven's Father and Jack of blades entered a large chamber with seven elemental stones and placed them along the seal of the walls. There was a light sound and then the wall of the cave lifted revealing a room with Raven's Brother and Raven's sister. They both stood with two magical swords. Raven's brother had his Flame sword and the Ribbon sword while Raven's sister had her daggers.

"Dad I can't let you have this blade. If you were to have it, you would only bring death and destruction to the world. I'm sorry but if you come any closer I will kill you." His sister Kathleen shook as she jumped towards Jack and drove the daggers in his eyes.

"Malicious do something." Jack yelled in pain as he pulled the optical cord out of his head. Malicious, Raven's dad, casted a spell to stop the bleeding and he charged his daughter. They clashed weapons for a while but Raven's father was just too strong to be controlled and he pushed her back. Mean while Jack of blades ran out of the room like a coward.

"Kathleen go after Jack, I have a score to settle." The two attacked each other with brutal force but each time one would hit the other the other would block.

"I am glad that I taut you well in fighting but I am afraid that I must kill you." Raven's father then vanished to behind Raven's brother and took out his heart from his back. He bled as he fell over dead. "The blade, it is now rightfully mine not that coward jack." He took the sword of Aeons and placed it in his right hand. "The power and the glory now rest in my right…" before Raven's father could finish what he was saying three arrows went into his back. It was Jack of blades.

Raven woke up out of the dream and looked around. He was on the ground with everyone around him.

"Good he's alive." Eli spoke first.

"Yhea but what can he do without a blade and the entire army of the dead?" Surged asked looking at Eli.

"Raven can use his brother's blade for now, I know someone that can put a cast on his blade that will hold it until we get to that sword smith in the east." Eli looked outside. About a thousand zombie soldiers stood outside striking down innocent people.
"Nahadia stay in here with the king, if any break into this room use your white magic, do not try to help us." Desonus then took his weapon and opened the door. They all ran outside cutting down zombie after zombie. Raven's new blade slashed through people like butter but it was getting hard to fight because so many people would surround him and start to grab on to him. He shook off the first wave but wasn't so lucky on the second. They pulled him down and began to bite him. Blood gushed through the wound as he began to think about what you would say when he died. Then a sudden yell came out.

"LET HIM GO!" Nahadia boomed as she put her staff of Aeons to the sky and made a symbol in the sky. They were the gates of Hades as she pulled out her first summon monster, Lavera. It was a giant molten bird that flapped its wings with extremely high heat. "Now my pet, Flying Fry." The bird went into the air and flapped its wings and the entire army of zombies caught fire and ran around the town and then turned to ash. After that the bird flew back into the gates and the gates sealed. It was like watching something bigger than life just come out of no where and then leave. Nahadia fell over and passed out her skirt now singed at the edges from the fire. Raven still on the ground smiled to see her sleep, she needed some rest, now he needed to rest, but the question would be if he would ever wake up…
