Chapter 2

Damion pov

Once I arrive on the plane, pain shoots through me and I fall to my knees and clench my eyes shut. What the hell is this? After a while the pain goes away, I open my eyes and I see my hands. I see a nearby river and I move towards it, once I get close enough I look over myself, I looked like an average human at the moment. I had on loose black pants that stopped at my ankles, the pants had dark purple lines on the sides, I had on a black long sleeve shirt but below shoulders the sleeves were also a dark purple. My hair was short and white, I had on black shoes as well. My wings were hidden under my shirt and my fangs had shrunk so they weren't so noticeable. I was also a bit pale, and my head hurt a bit.

I stretch before starting to search for what I was here for, what was it again? I'll probably remember if I look around.

After a while my search turned up ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. It had been almost a day since I got here and I was starting to get hungry, I was so distracted I had failed to notice several large wolf like creatures moving towards me. I had no warning as I was launched towards a dirt road and skidded across the ground. I stand back up but I find myself surrounded by the beasts. "Great." I say to myself before speaking to them, "Well!? Come and get me." I yell, I could probably take them, if I wasn't so hungry and had access to more of my magic.

The beasts start to circle around me, great, looks like I'm gonna need to try to do something, maybe I still had some mind magic I could use. I focus my magic and I can feel my eyes ignite with pure mana, I could see the outline of the grey fire that surrounded my eyes. The beasts grabbed their heads in pain as the started to bark in pain, I took this moment to run from them, that small burst was the best I could do at the moment. I needed to find somewhere to regain my strength, but first, I turn to look behind me as the beasts get over the pain and the start to follow me. I could only run as I was chased by the beasts.

As I run I hear the sound of thumping against the ground at a very quick pace, I look ahead if me and spot a crossroad, someone in a blue cloak like outfit with a dark brown jacket on him with strange designs on it was riding a horse while running from more of the creatures. Well, I guess I'm not the only one getting chased, wasn't planning on it but I ended up getting very close to the horse. I had no time to react as I felt something grab me by my shirt collar and put me on the back of the horse. "Hold on!" Said the man in a blue cloak as we ride from the beasts. As he steered the horse, I notice that a bright blue glow came from behind us, I turn and see a large blue bear seemingly made of light appears behind us. It lunged at the beasts, it took a few beast with it but it wasn't enough to stop the others.

The horse stumbles a bit, allowing the rest of the pack to get closer. As we got farther I saw one of the other creatures eyes turn blue for a moment before attacking what I can only assume was the leader. Many of the other beasts stayed back to watch the power struggle, now only one of the creatures was chasing us. I could hear the horse was exhausted, if we didn't find somewhere safe soon we were both gonna be in trouble. The path opened up and I spot a manor in the distance, I guess that's the destination, while I was focusing on the manor, the creature sliced across the back of the horse, as the horse fell, me and the man jumped from the saddle and rolled across the ground before getting back to our feet and running towards the entrance gate. We get to the gate and it was locked, I could here the beast had stopped eating the horse and we both turn to see the beast was now looking at us.

Its was covered in blood and starting to move towards us, I notice that the man was focusing on the lock and I could feel magic coming off him, he was a telepath. I watch as he focuses on the lock which clicks open a moment later, we both push against the gate, it was hard to push the gate open but we managed to open the gate with a painful scrapping of metal sound. We stumble in and fall to the ground inside the yard, the man kicks the gate closed and locks the gate once again. The creature slammed into the gate and we move away from the creatures claws. But it then stopped, and took a few sniffs before it ran in the other direction.

I fall onto my back as I look up at the sky, "What the hell is wrong with this plane?" A few moments pass before I pull myself up again. "What the hell were those things?"

"Are you a Planeswalker?" Asked the man.

I turn to look at him and give a smile, "Yup, names Damion. Thanks for the save by the way, I might not have made it if you hadn't shown up." I walk over to him and help him up, he smiles and accepts my hand. Once he's back on his feet he looks at me with a smile.

"My name is Jace Beleren, what are you doing here?" He asked.

I was about to say why I was here but I stop, something felt strange, I couldn't remember why I was here? "I can't remember. In fact I can barley remember anything." (Just in case some of you don't get what's happening, the barrier around the plane keeps Eldrazi out, and since Damion is technically an Eldrazi, all of his memories as an Eldrazi have been removed for the time being, as of now). I start to panic a bit, why can't I remember anything!? I know I'm a Planeswalker and I have some crazy magic, the last thing I remember perfectly was fighting strange creatures then a larger one surrounded my home before a bright light, and now I'm here. I was freaking out but Jace puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Alright calm down." He said in a calm tone, I look at him, "What's the last thing you can remember?" I then explain what I recalled, as I explained more Jace seemed to get more and more concerned, I swear his eyes even started to glow blue and I got a slight headache, he then explains to me that what I had faced was the Eldrazi Titan Emrakul, once he finishes explaining what that was, he looked curious for a moment, "How exactly were you able to fight off the Eldrazi?"

I sigh, "I'll show you but you might not like what you see." I move back and my demonic features appear on me, my wings extended through hole in my shirt, my claws and fangs extend, they only appear for a moment before disappearing again. Jace looked shocked for a moment.

"Interesting." He said, which surprised me, that was a new one. "So you are part human and demon."

"You're not disgusted by me?" Like everyone else who I've ever met.

"Quite the contrary actually, I don't think I've met anyone like you before. If you would be willing, I could use your help here, and the Gatewatch could use someone like you, from what you said, you clearly have the skills and you have strong magic." I was confused for a moment, not sure what to do, Jace gives a small smile, "Just think about it."

"Alright, I'll think about it." After I said that I notice something moving near the manor, several zombies covered the area and pushed us back against the metal gate, the smell of the death cover the area, why does that not bother me? The zombies then part making a path for us to head towards the manor, we move towards the entrance, I notice that the rooms of the manor seemed to be lit up with a purple glow, weird, we walk up the stone steps to a large door. The door swung open to reveal a dark hallway, we stopped just before the entrance.

"Can we come in?" He asked no one in particular. Another zombie stepped out from behind the door, this one seemed to be dressed in a strange outfit, it motioned for us to follow them, Jace lowered his hood as we walked inside. The zombie led us to a large room which was illuminated by moonlight and spell craft, several zombies shuffled about, and a woman sitting on a throne in the room. She was dressed in a dark purple outfit, her skin was pale, her hair was black and seemed to be held back by a golden headband that curved down like a set of horns, and she had on a strange neck piece that covered her whole neck.

It looked like she had been reading a large book before she closed it and handed it to one of the Zombies, I could feel her magic and it was also in the zombies, so she was a necromancer. Neat. Something felt off about her though, I could sense the presence of something ancient was with her. She looked like she was about to speak but stopped when she spotted me, she watched me for a few moments before looking back at Jace. Have your friend wait outside, I only want to talk to you." She pointed at Jace.

Oh god you can feel the tension in the room, "I get the message." I say and raise my hands before giving a sly smirk, "Don't have to much fun while I'm gone." I swear I saw Jace flinch as the girl gave a devilish smile. I went outside and started to mess with my magic a bit, I created three purple orbs and they floated around my hand. I tried to cast some other spells, I don't know why but I tried to make a sword but it was black and started to disintegrate almost immediately.

I was trying to get it to last longer but a voice caused me to jump to my feet. "Damion?" I look around for the voice but I can't find the source.

"Who's there?" I ask hoping it was just my imagination.

"Do you not remember?" The voice sounded hurt.

"I don't know who you are but get out of my head!" I yell before a pain shoots through my head causing me to fall to the ground, I felt my body start to spasm from the pain, I tried to get myself up but I could barley move.

Emrakul pov

I look through my sons memories to see what was wrong, at first I thought he was angry I left him on Zendikar but the more I looked the more concerned I became. All of his memories of being an Eldrazi were gone! He had no recollection he was my son or what we did for all that time. A few tears fell from my eyes, I cursed at the barrier that took my son from me. I wanted to go and restore him but I couldn't, the best I could do was mentally talk with him. If I was going to see my son again I had to find a way to destroy the barrier. I can't directly influence him without harming him from outside the plane, but I can put a few things in motion for when we arrive.

"Don't worry Damion, I will be there soon."

Damion pov

Once the pain stops I jump to my feet, grey and purple magic covers my hands. I look around for whoever just did that to me, but I stop when I feel tears running down my face, "What the hell is going on? And why the hell am I crying?" I ask myself. I wave my hands and my magic disappears and I wait for Jace to come back out.

I was about to sit down but then I notice the wolf from before was on the other side of the gate. I smirked and waved, "Afraid of a run down house huh? guess you creatures are just wimps." The creature snarled before it jumped on the gate and managed to launch it self over and land perfectly.

I blinked a few times before I smirked, this is gonna be fun. The beast charges me and I do the same, once it tries to swing at me I drop to my knees and slide under the strike. I use the single moment I have sliding to summon a sword and slash its side. The blade was solid for a good second and managed to leave a visible cut on the creature before the blade turned to ash. One second, I can keep a blade solid for a single second before it disintegrates, so every moment counts. The wolf roars and charges me again, I smile and hold my hands out in front of me, god I hope this works.

Once the beast was close enough I materialize a large blade and slash at the beast before the blade disappears. The beast passed me before it stopped and I turn to look at it, a moment passed before the wolf fell to the ground and a massive cut appeared across its body. It was dead before it hit the ground. I went to go sit by the door and wait for Jace to come back. Thankfully I didn't have to wait long as the door started to open. I stood back up and looked at Jace, "Looks like we're staying the night." He said.

I looked at Jace, "Alright then, lead the way." I follow behind Jace who followed a zombie what was clearly a dungeon. "Wow, such hospitality." I say sarcastically.

"At least it's better than having to worry about Wolves and other horrors." I rolled my eyes but I knew he was right, I noticed that the zombies had brought us some blankets to sleep on, I grabbed a bunch of them and wrapped the blankets into a large ball and rested on it. I then pulled one over me and curled up in the blankets, this felt nice. "So, tell me about yourself." Said Jace. I yawn before I walk over to him, he looked confused but before he could say anythingI lean my head back before I head butted his head knocking him back. I saw a flash of his memories so I now know the basics about Jace and who he is. The same was for Jace, he had just received a burst of my memories, just the basics though cause I am a bit tired. "Was that really necessary?" Jace asked in pane.

"It was the fastest way to give you information, sorry. I'm tired and I need sleep." Jace nods in understanding while he rubs the spot I head butted him, he lays on the floor with his blanket and I drift off to sleep. It was one hell of a day.

No pov a few hours later

As Damion slept his body started to glow a faint purple as his Eldrazi side tried to take form, but it was still being blocked by the barrier. But something else was happening as the Eldrazi side tried to return to Damion. An unknown distance away Avacyn was currently slaughtering a village with her angels, she was about to impale a screaming human but suddenly stopped when she felt a pulse throughout her body. To Avacyn the feeling was, strange to the Arc Angel. Avacyn looked in the direction of where the feeling was coming from, she then impaled the human before removing her spear. A single word entered her mind and she grinned.

"Damion."
