Coldstone…

On top of Castle Wyvern in a new land…

The Silverwing Gargoyles with myself as the commander scanned the city below them with astonishment at how the world had changed.

This world, this place was so big, so confusing, so loud. It almost drives you to the point of madness. Our time was gone, and we were strangers in a new world, what was worse, we were no longer the gargoyles we were. We were complete monsters of silver and machinery. We were no longer the Gargoyles we were and everyone we ever loved was dead (Even my own love, who I will never see again) or betrayed us (my brother who caused great suffering to us and destroyed our clan). I was once called Othello but no more as I am Coldstone, a beast brought to life by sorcery and technology, and I will not allow that to go unpunished. I will find Goliath and punish him for the terrible fate I must endure for the rest of eternity, for myself and my surviving clan.

"This place is much bigger than the castle we once inhabited. How will we be able to find Goliath in this concrete jungle?" Silver Imp wondered at me, and Silver Selene was looking around.

"You must make them come to you, Brothers and Sisters. Goliath is in service to the humans; thus, you must attack them." Demona suggested for the group, some looked deeply concerned about the plan while others did not care, and a few even showed excitement about the plan.

"And while we are there, we can make the humans squirt out like chunky bits of beef!" Silver Mayhem proudly proclaimed while swinging his mace.

That does not sound right.

"Mayhem, control your bloodlust! We are not to harm the innocent, only seek revenge on Goliath." Selene ordered as my second in command, who her strength and fortitude to our clan's moral codes in honor.

"But it was the humans who did this to us!" Silver Eyes growled.

"The ones responsible are dead…" Silver Sword informed.

"…while Goliath is still alive and can be punished for his crimes." Silver Shield finished.

"I still do not like this. Why must we hurt Goliath and how did he truly betray us when he did what any Gargoyle?" Silver Water whimpered at the thought while Silver Hound and Silver Feline comforted her.

I knew she never loved battle and was one to enjoy the thrills of war and battle. She has, and always been good and gentle. I will not force her to fight.

"And there are a few things in Demona's claims that do not align." Silver Knight questioned the Rookery Sister.

"She does seem different…" Silver Song shivered as she too was not the one for violence.

"I will not force you two to fight, but we must Find Goliath. He must face justice. Come!" I ordered as we took to the sky!

Silver Ghoul and Silver Dragon picked up Silver Feline and Silver Hound as the entire strength of the Silver Wing Clan will be needed in order to slay Goliath for his treachery.

"Did he betray you… or are you being deceived?"

I looked around but no one had said that.

Who spoke in the ear?

Have I gone mad or was it…?

No, my love is gone. Goliath caused her death, like the Vikings…

"Find Goliath, Brother. Kill him. Show him what a real Leader can do and what a true clan looks like…"

Iago? No, no, they were both dead just like the clan!

…And Goliath and all who continue to serve under him will be next.

They will all pay…

We soon began our destruction, smashing the roads, attacking the buildings, and howling for Goliath to appear. More humans came with their odd weapons in an attempt to destroy us once again! They will not hurt our clan again!

Never again!

"Careful Sister, there seemed to be sorcerers in our midst!" I warned Silver Selene, who evaded with ammunition of iron and fire!

"Sorcerers or not, they will not interfere in our search and destroy mission!" Selene growled as her eyes glowed red.

"Sister, listen to yourself! This is not our way!" Silver Devil pleaded as the others began to bicker about how things should be done.

"ENOUGH! None of us will get anywhere turning against one another like-!" I boomed with a roar at my clanmates!

But I was interrupted by Silver Moth.

"Goliath is here."

Then I was attacked by my brother, and he dared to call me an abomination.

"Brother, you betrayed us." I coldly growled when suddenly a device appeared from my arm and created magic against him, "What sorcery is this?"

"Is this the surprise our sister has mentioned?" Selene gasped, equally surprised by this sudden power I obtained.

"Wait, I know you. I know all of you. Othello, Selene… my brothers and sisters." Goliath gasped at the sight of our newest forms.

How dare he?

"Wrong, we are your destroyers, and you are our betrayers!" Silver Eyes howled summoning sharper claws at his disposal.

"Silver Wing, attack!" I ordered them as my clan acted as so, only Silver Water and Silver Song refused to fight and soon we came across more traitors!

They dared side with the betrayer as we prepared a war between the clans to decide who would be the victor. I accused my brother of the terrible deeds with the Vikings, which he vigorously denies.

Then our Rookery Sister came with her own persecution and… darkness… As Silver Song had noted.

Then the human Xanatos suggested that our battle should take place somewhere we can fight without harming to others.

But that still left a question in my mind…

Is survival truly enough?

If it is, then why must we survive as abominations? And why, why do I feel emptier than I have ever felt in my entire life? Why can't this awful feeling leave me be?

"Because there is more to life than what she has offered?"

"Because you are not complete without-our-without your vengeance."

These voices… Why do I have these voices…?
