Castle of Redemption

His mind kept playing his fight with the Fallen Angel, he was using all his energy blast after blast, yet the Fallen Angel was toying with him, until the end when he said that the warm-up was over. There he killed Yoh, sending him into the plains of despair. Yoh now alone in the plain of despair, 'Where is Amidamaru?' said Yoh to his ghostly self, worried for his friend. Staring at his transparent body, Yoh wondered if this was a dream, a scary dream or if this was reality. Around him, he noticed others looking like him, their face covered with anger, sadness, and shock. Like everyone else, they had Yoh's ghastly features that faded into the surrounding and bodies that was hovering (like ghosts), their arms ending with a wavering mist that was to be their fingers. Floating towards a passing ghost, Yoh asked in a concerned tone, "Where am I?"

"Castle of Redemption," replied the female ghost with a grim looking face, before hovering away, every once in awhile glancing back at Yoh as if he was a stranger. "Castle of Redemption?" thought Yoh out loud. Looking about, Yoh saw mills of mindless souls of people wandering towards a Castle. Yoh soon decided to follow them to this castle of Redemption.

Time played no part in the plains of despair, there was no dawn or night, no seconds or minutes, there were just ghosts that wandered lost, seeking their love ones or their sworn enemies. In the plains of despair laid the ghost that cannot passed on to the after-life, for they have yet to release their soul from the world, having unfulfilled plans or dreams.

In the plains of despair, the sky glowed a pale maroon light, its people filled with beak faces. The surround was desolated except for an enormous castle topping the plains of despair; clouds of fire surrounded this vast castle, its walls gray and dull bringing weight to those who enters its dark oak doors, creaking when it opens and closes, outside of this vast castle stood a defending wall to guard its visitors and residents. To Yoh this is neither a castle nor fortress, it was a prison trapping ghosts inside its towering wall. Yoh was like many of the ghost lost and unknown to this world; only know the castle laid hope for their resurrection or their way to the after-life, Yoh decided to call it the castle of awakening, awakening from this nightmare instead of the dreadful name's real name the Castle of Redemption.
