I was soundly sleeping until about 2 a.m. when I felt an unusual earthquake that woke me up. Half asleep and dazed, I asked Ikaros, "What the heck is going on?!" "I'm not

sure master, but I'm certain that it isn't a natural occurrence" "Ikaros, take me to the source. I have to find out what's going on." We rushed to the anomaly, not sure what to

expect. When we reached the location, I could barely believe my eyes. Infernom was fighting what I guessed to be the other two hellborn. It was like a battle of gods. The single

stroke of their swords razed whole areas of the forest, creating fire and desolation. The opposing forces continued to clash, soaring through the sky and causing massive

devastation. One of the Evil Hellborn started talking, "There's no point in further resistance, War. You're the only one left alive. You have no reason to keep on fighting, so why

do deny your fate?" Infernom stared into his enemies' eyes with killing intent, "The reason I still fight is because I have one final chance to regain my honor, by killing you, even

if I die in the process! Infernom summoned the horned woman, and her form changed to a shield. He then equipped the shield on his back, and a sphere of fire appeared

around him. He readied his swords and charged his opponents head on. One of the Hellborns was equipped a purple energized greatsword, and the other with a massive

scythe. Despite their incredible speed and agility, Infernom blocked both blows with his mighty swords. His shadow swords started to lose shape and wrap around the other

hellborns' weapons. Infernom then proceeded to rip the weapons from their hands. Just when it seemed like Infernom was about to end the battle, one of the Hellborn

vanished into thin air and reappeared behind Infernom. "Watch out behind you!" I yelled out to Infernom. "He turned his attention towards me and yelled back, "You

shouldn't be here! It's too dang-" The hellborn slashed Infernom in the face while he was distracted, sending him flying back hundreds of feet until he was stopped by the

collision of a nearby mountain. His helmet shattered, and his face was revealed. I could see everything on his face. I could see the burden his people. The regret, sorrow, and

humiliation. His whole life was revealed to me. Feeling his pain myself, I couldn't help but cry. "Infernom, don't die now!" I shouted with anger and sadness, "You said that

you would finish what you started. Don't allow it to become a lie!" Still with his body stuck in the mountain, he slowly turned his blood covered face towards me and

mumbled, "I, can't die yet. Not, not before I fulfill my promise. The two hellborn flew closer and closer to Infernom, convinced that the fight was over. "You've had a long run

War, but in the end, no one can escape Judgement and Retribution." the Hellborns said in unison. Infernom just started laughing. There was now a devilish grin on his face,

and began to speak to his old enemies, "Of course. Even immortals can't escape the clutches of death. I've understood this for a long time now. That why, I'm taking us all

out." Infernom raised his left sword into the air. The sword began radiating with black energy, creating a vortex that was sucking in everything around it. The two Hellborns

tried to escape the gravitational pull of the vortex, but it was futile, for they were already getting sucked in. Ikaros barely flew me out of there in time. The last thing I saw of

the fight was Infernom stabbing himself with the sword, followed by an explosion so intense that I couldn't even glance at it. Once it had died down, I had Ikaros take me

back. The only thing that remained was Infernom's lifeless body. I tightly wrapped my arms around Ikaros and cried, "What a waste of life! He never had the chance to live a

normal life, or experience the joy of friends!" Ikaros talked to me in a soothing voice, "That's not true, even if it was brief, you gave him the happiness that he always

wanted." The next day, we buried Infernom's body in the middle of the battleground. I gave him a tombstone labeled, "Here lies Infernom, a warrior with a heart of gold. May

he find rest in the next life." I walked away from the grave wondering what promises the next day would hold.
