The Spirit of Tevos

I WONDER IF IT WILL BE WORTH IT....IS MY LIFE SUCH A FRAGILE THING THAT EVEN I DON’T UNDERSTAND IT’S VALUE. NEVERTHELESS, I HAVE BEEN GRANTED ANOTHER CHANCE...A CHANCE THAT I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL BE ME RENEWING OR UNDOIN. THIS CHOICE THAT I HAVE MADE HAS BECOME ME AND WITH IT, A PATH THAT NO MERE MORTAL MAN CAN COMPREHEND. WILL I SEE THE END OF THIS OR WILL IT ULTIMATELY BE THE END OF ME...I HAVE A GRAVE FEELING THAT WHEN I FIND OUT, I WON’T NOTICE IT....

This being revealed itself to me at a time in my life where I had lost my direction...given up on life....betrayed my own birthright and now it feels like I have a second chance. I don’t what to call this “thing” but it assured me of one thing...” IF YOU DO NOT SUCCUMB TO THE POWER THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED THEN YOUR WORLD WILL DIE”... Once I asked ”What am I to do”..this “being” pushed me off the cliff on which I was standing. Yelling for my life, I had no understanding of what was to become of this. As the natural ground awaited my fall, I could only prepared for the worst. I created a deep crater in the ground upon impact and surprisingly, I was left unharmed. That “being” appeared before me out of a strange fire that rose from the ground. “It” handed me a weapon which resembled a chain-whip with strange blades at both ends. The weapon instantly leaped from my hands and traveled through a mysterious flame that manifested from thin air. The “being“ then stretched forth its left hand which was holding two blades without handle. As I retrieved the blade, they burst into flames. I looked at the created in wonder and it said..” THESE WEAPONS ARE AT YOUR DISPOSAL... THE WHIP IS CALLED THE SPIRIT REAPER FOR IN THE NAME OF SPIRITUAL RETRIBUTION, YOUR ENEMIES WILL PAY WITH THIER VERY SOUL THE PRICE OF ETERNAL DAMNATION. THE BLADES ARE KNOWN AS SPIRIT SCYTHES WHICH SHALL IMPALE AN ENEMY OF EVEN THE STRONGEST EXTERIOR THUS WEAKENING THIER SPIRIT.....CALL ME THE SHADOW WRAITHE”....and then it left through it’s strange fire. However, from within the fire, it spoke to me of my task to retrieve six diamond fragments and that the Spirit Reaper will guide me to the first fragment. The Spirit Reaper appeared once again an danced in the air. As I approached it... it began to slither through the air. I immediately gave chase and I noticed how fast I could move and my eyesight was far reaching. In the distance, I could see the structure of a building which a light shining through out. I got closer and saw that it was “ THE ALAMO”... I thought I was seeing things but then things got even more surprising when a creature with a large staff appeared at the top of the Alamo. “ You have no business here mortal...Leave at once or die where you stand”, it said. I stood ready to fight this creature...it looked like a tall man with claws for nail.....that Shadow Wraithe almost looked the same but a shroud covered its face. I set my feet ready to make a move and the Spirit Reaper appeared and wrapped around my left arm then a strange fire arose through a right forearm. What is this power that I have and what manner of mission is this that I have taken. As I wondered about these powers, that creature atop the Alamo also looked at me in a blank hysteria. “ I know of those powers you possess but how is it that you have them”, it angrily bellowed. I quickly leaped toward it and kicked it from the Alamo. Judging by my movements and these powers that I now own, I am no longer a “human”.... but what am I ? I went towards the light in the Alamo as to retrieve the diamond shard and i ran into an invisible door. The creature stood to its feet with a crazy laugh and said “ The diamond won’t allow it to be possessed until a fight for ownership has been made....to the death”. I looked at this creature as it was charging me with its staff. I unwrapped the Spirit Reaper from my arm and proceeded to challenge it. “don’t use the spirit reaper...not on this creature....” I heard a voice that sounded like a mere whisper however I did not pay any attention to it. The creature lunged at me with the staff and I barely sidestepped the attacked. I quickly countered by stabbing it in the chest with the Spirit Reaper. It feel to one knee and then I swung the Spirit Reaper, slicing its throat. To my surprise, it did not bleed but it was breathing heavy. It staggered a while and then it finally balanced itself with its staff. “ Curse the ground on which you stand as it shall become a consuming land, To rip asunder my adversity and declare me with the victory”. When it finished speaking, he stabbed its staff into the Earth and an unseen forced pushed me back.... I was a long distance away from the Alamo now. I began running back to the building and that’s when the ground began to rumble.

o THIS POWER THAT I POSSESS SEEMS VERY HOSTILE YET POWERFUL. I MUST BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT EARLY IF I AM TO SEE THE END RESULT OF HAVING A SECOND CHANCE. NOW, I FACE AN OPPONENT WHO KNOWS MORE ABOUT MY MISSION THAN I WAS TOLD. DOES THIS “SHADOW WRAITHE” INTEND TO MAKE ME LEARN AS I PROCEED OR IS THERE REALLY SOMETHING ELSE AT STAKE HERE.....

o I immediately stopped running as the rumbles of the ground become more severe. As I took a step forward, a hand burst through the ground and grabbed my left foot. I began to pull away and my left shin caught fire (just like my forearm) and the hand was scorched to ash. A great laugh filled the air which resembled the same laugh the creature emitted earlier. It was still alive! I began running back to the Alamo in disbelief and fear of what this enemy was made of if it remained alive. All of a sudden, a small group of creatures that looked like the one at the Alamo burst from the ground and attacked me. I was overwhelmed until the Spirit Reaper came spinning through the air, slicing my foes to dust. Once the Spirit Reaper hit them they actually became as dust. I looked around and as far as I could see, there were many more of them charging me. I clinched my fist and give a great yell and the Spirit Scythes appeared in my hands. “ their numbers are great but they are feeble in strength”. I heard that whisper again and to my surprise, it was actually the Spirit Reaper talking to me. What type of power has been bestowed upon me to where this weapon has such a trait. I began tossing the Spirit Scythes at my enemies and as soon as one left my hand another appeared. These creatures was falling quickly and the Spirit Reaper stayed close to me cutting any who managed to reach me. It wasn’t long until I could see the Alamo and the staff that was stabbed into the ground. I believed that if I could uproot the staff then these creature may stop manifesting from the Earth. I leaped into the air and grabbed the Spirit Reaper. I tried to lasso the staff and quickly a creature pulled it from the ground which also made the horde that assailed me vanquish. Before. I could make my next move, a loud voice yelled “ GO” and from out of nowhere this grand beast came running towards me....it had the head and body of a BULL..the tail of a SCORPION....and its neck was like that of a snake. “ This is my great Abomination and soon to be your doom”. I looked around and saw that creature standing on top of the Alamo again but this time, a weird looking armor covered its body. This “great abomination “ stormed toward me and the ground shook so terrible that it was hard for me to maneuver. I was slapped around the ground by its tail many times....tired and unable to get to my feet, I felt defeated. The beast came running towards me again then I felt the Spirit Reaper wrap around my body and pull me into the flames which it travels. I walked from the flames unharmed with my vitality restored. “ the rift is also home to you Tevos, use it when your battles are too great”. The Spirit Reaper has revealed to me another power I can use and now maybe I can destroy this beast. The abomination charged again and I ran towards it then I leaped into the “rift” before impact. The beast was confused as I trampled over its own feet. I saw that on the belly of the beast there was a shimmering spot and I wondered if that was a weakness. Before the beast recovered, I grabbed the Spirit Reaper swung it at the beast belly and released a loud roar. The creature at the Alamo even let out a great yell. The beast was hurt and it could barely stand. The creature leaped from the Alamo and impaled the abomination with its staff and it caught fire and burst into flames. Now, it was time to finish this creature once and for all. I grabbed the Spirit Reaper and began my attack. The creature dodged every attack, I didn’t touch it once. I attacked again and he moved so fast that the next thing I knew, I was getting hit from behind. I leaped from the ground and swung the Spirit Reaper at it and it blocked it with its staff. I didn’t realize that the creature actually broke the Spirit Reaper into pieces! I called forth the Spirit Scythes and get it a barrage of blades and it negated all my attempts to damage it. This creature was very fast and somehow it adapted to all my attacks. Once again, I was grounded by another attack and this time it was going for the kill. The flames on my forearm and shin flared up and the creature stopped in its tracks as if it became terrified. The Shadow Wraithe was standing in front of me and it was holding a staff of its own. The Shadow Wraithe stabbed the ground with its staff and a great fire consumed the creature until nothing was left. I stood to my feet as the Shadow Wraithe looked at me and disappeared right before my eyes. I walked to the light inside the Alamo and there was a diamond shard floating in the air. Once I retrieve it, I blacked out.

o

o THE TIDE ROSE AND THERE WAS A GREAT DANGER TO BEHOLD. AT THE VERY MOMENT AS THE WATERS BEGAN TO RAGE, THE FIRE WITHIN ME STARTED TO TAKE A GREATER HOLD ON. IT FELT AS IF I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THIS POWER WAS CAPABLE OF DOING...AS IF I WAS NOW ONE WITH THIS POWER FROM THE SHADOW WRAITHE....

o

o I awoke from the weird stasis that come over me and I was standing in an area where I could see the Statue of Liberty. I strange light began to shine from within the torch of the statue and I knew that was the next diamond shard. I made haste to it while expecting resistance like my experience at the Alamo and that’s when it seemed like a storm started brewing. The skies didn’t look like it was carrying a storm but the waters of the harbor were very troubled. I stepped away and made sure the tide would not cause me to be taken and that’s when the eyes of the statue flashed a bright yellow. The head of the statue turned to me...I was under the impression that the diamond shard brought the statue to life. The statue’s hand reached towards me and that’s when a large tail emerged from the raging waters thus sendind the statue into the depths below. The leviathan stayed underwater but I looked and saw in the air a creature which resembled a gargoyle. I thought I was seeing things until this flying creature began diving towards me. I took cover behind what was left of the statue as the gargoyle’s landing made a great sound. I stepped from cover to see the large statue-looking creature. Its skin looked solid although its wings moved very fluid. Its eyes shined with a bright yellow glare and that’s when I believed that statue was probably taken control of by this creature. The flames flared on my right forearm and left shin as I readied the Spirit Scythes. The beast flew towards me and I began tossing the Scythes at him but they broke when it connected with its body. The Gargoyle slapped me with great force as I slid across the ground. I rose to my feet watching this Gargoyle fly around like a buzzard. I summoned the Spirit Reaper and it pulled me into the Rift and I exited the Rift in the air next to the Gargoyle. The Gargoyle let out a strange hiss for I took it by surprise as I kicked it across the sky. I fell back into the Rift and returned back to dry ground. Since I can’t fly, I will use the Rift to traverse my air to ground attack. The Gargoyle descended to the ground realizing I could still get to it in the air. The Gargoyle sat on the ground as I was preparing for an attack but to my surprise, the leviathan rose from the depths of the harbor. The Gargoyle flew onto the top of its head and rested its talons into it. The leviathan began flying...the powers of the Gargoyle were now flowing through the leviathan. I had no place to hide as I began dodging incoming attack by this flying sea monster. In my haste, I used the Rift to try to take out the Gargoyle but as I exited the Rift, I found myself in the jaws of the leviathan. I struggled for my life to keep its mouth from closing in on me but it was no use. As I slid down the throat of this creature, I used the Spirit Scythes to stop. The Rift appeared and the Spirit Reaper instantly carved an exit through the leviathan’s neck. Greatly wounded, the leviathan began falling from the air and back into the harbor. While I was airborne, I saw the Gargoyle was still latched onto the creature. I threw two Spirit Sycthes at it and wounded him. It seems its powers were now in the leviathan. I quickly traveled through the Rift and decapitated the Gargoyle. Back on dry land, I was thinking how was I going to retrieve the diamond shard from the submerged statue. Suddenly, the hand of the statue rose from the waters, holding the diamond shard. The shard floated towards me and once I took hold of it, I blacked out....and found myself back at the cliff,resting on that tree…..

o

o TO STAND ALONE IS TO BE SURE IF I AM STRONG THOUGH I FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE SHADOW WRAITHE, I KNEW THAT THIS FIGHT WOULD ALSO BE MINE ALONE…I MUST FULLY UNDERSTAND THIS POWER IF I AM TO SUCCEED

o

o I stand alone on an island but I haven’t any clue of where the Diamond shard is located. The ground began to tremble as dust clouds emerged from beneath the surface. The Shadow Wraithe appeared but only to say,” Another Leviathan approaches and the Dust Devil”. At the edge of the island, a great creature revealed itself but I only saw it’s head. The Shadow Wraithe had left as soon as the creature appeared then a large dust cloud formed out of thin air. The Dust Devil appeared through the cloud and the Leviathan showed up but the Leviathan left. The creature was so huge that the water around the island rose to its normal level. The Dust Devil never fully revealed itself, it stayed hid within the dust clouds. It seemed to me that this “Dust Devil” is either coward or sneaky…either way, I need to stay focused. It began to try to burrow through the ground also. The “Devil” got horns on the side of its head and occasionally it would launch them at me. The creature’s effort were mediocre at best but then the Leviathan re-emerged. Two tentacles rose from the water which tried to wrap me up. I jumped into the Rift to avoid them but when I returned, the “Dust Devil” was waiting for me. I was completely caught off guard as I was impaled in the chest and abdomen by the “Dust Devil’s horns.The “Dust Devil” disappeared into a cloud of dust as I fell on my back trying to gather the strength to remove the horns from my body. . It felt as if I was about to die the more I tried. The “Dust Devil” appeared above, descending from the air as if to land a kill shot. I yelled to the top of my lungs and pulled with all my might. The Rift appeared around me as the Spirit Reaper launched from the flames, stabbing the “Dust Devil” as the flames of the Rift rendered it to ash. I found myself still on the ground, healed from my wounds due to the fire from the Rift. This “power” that I possess keeps surprising me and I have yet to understand stand it. As I rose to my feet, I saw the Leviathan staring at me with its tentacles ramping in the water but what got my undivided attention was the diamond shard. The diamond shard was lodged in the creatures forehead. It’s obvious that I can’t get close to it so I must figure out an innovative way to have my powers get the job done. The Leviathan did not make any move except to bob in the water like a cork. I thought to summon the Shadow Wraithe, it should be more than powerful enough to get close. I summoned the Spirit Scythes and struck the ground. A great fire emerged which sent me into the air but another fire was created in front of the Leviathan. I landed and stabbed the ground with the Spirit Scythes and the Shadow Wraithe’s hands appeared from within the fire that was near the creature. Before I knew it, the diamond shard was being tossed to me as I saw the Leviathan sink into the deep waters. As I leaped to catch the diamond shard, I blacked out…..

THIS POWER IS LEAVING ME WITH SO MANY MYSTERIES AND QUESTIONS THAT I WILL NEVER GET TO CLARIFY. HOWEVER,I STILL REMAIN AND MAYBE MY REDEMPTION WILL BE ATTAINED UNLESS THIS POWER IS THE REASON I DIE

I’m still resting on this tree and it seems strange because usually I’m taken to the next location of the diamond shard. I stood up and walked towards the edge of the cliff and I saw the Shadow Wraithe flying towards me. It grabbed and took me into the Rift. Upon exiting the Rift, I found myself standing on a lawn of sorts. I could only see grass because the entire area was dark. “YOU WILL NEED TO SUCCUMB TO THE POWER”, the Shadow Wraithe from within the darkness and then, from within the darkness, I saw three sets of eyes. I summoned the Spirit Reaper to prepare for battle but I was greatly surprised by three beings that could fly. One of them had one arm with a long talon and it cut a space from thin air and flew into it. Another had flames flaring in this place of its arms and it just flew around as to taunt me. The last one had two arms….one arm looked human but the other looked the same but with long-sharp nails. I stood in place knowing that if I traveled through the Rift that these beings would finish me in the air so I must use the Rift. The flames from my right forearm and left shin began to create flame underneath. The Rift opened and the Spirit Reaper came out and tied up the being with the flame arms. It was then pulled into the Rift and never seen again. Next, another cut through the air as in did earlier. It flew towards me and the flame underneath me grow more intense. The Spirit Reaper pierced the being and the flames took hold of the Spirit Reaper. The flames rendered the being to ashes and all that was left was one being. The flames under me left but stayed one my forearm and shin. I leaped toward leaped toward it and summoned the Spirit Reaper before I got close. I swung the weapon thus sending the creature to the ground. As it started to recover, I stomped the ground with the leg which had the flames on it and created a fire funnel which incinerated the creature. I could see the darkness leaving and in the distance, I could see the United Stated flag from atop a building. I believe I was fighting near the White House. The Rift appeared above me and the Shadow Wraithe grabbed me and pulled me in. I was then released in a place which looked like a dry valley.

THIS AREA HOLDS THE KEY TO YOUR SOUL LEST YOU ALLOW IT DARK MINIONS TAKE CONTROL. BE LIGHT AS THE WIND AND SWIFT TORRENTIAL RAIN OR DEATH WILL BECOME YOU IN THIS BARREN PLAIN.

Upon being dispensed in this dry valley, it seemed like I could feel the presence of death. Fortunately, that feeling meant I was in the right place. Before I took my first step, I noticed a large cave ahead which way located near the next turn in the valley. As I got closer, I barely noticed a pair of eyes staring at me but when I got near the mouth of the cave, a giant jumped out and ran towards me. I immediately summoned the Rift which rendered the clumsy beast to ash. I proceeded around the corner and was instantly greeted with the fear that gripped me when I first arrived. There was a great chasm which completely filled nearly the rest of the valley floor. I began to hear faint voices, like distant whispers then small hands with claws started appearing around the rim of the chasm. Being that I’m no longer a mere mortal, I took to the wall of that valley and ran along side it. I could see a great number of imps climbing from the chasm as well as chasing me. I had a long way to go but I used the Rift to my advantage. I would to the other wall of the valley once those imps got close but their numbers were so great that they would also be in front of me. I would easily take them down with the Spirit Scythes while gaining ground. I finally reached to end of the chasm and got to the valley floor only to see something worst was after me. It seemed that a mouth shrouded by a smoke with fire was right behind me. I quickly made way towards the end of the valley but then I noticed talons hugging the wall of the valley. I got to the end of the valley that’s when I saw a two-headed Eagle took off into the sky. “TEVOS”….. the mouth within the fire and smoke bellowed my name. I turned around ready to battle whatever manifestation it was but it was gone. I turned back around and in the distance I could see a pyramid in the middle of the desert. I started to walk towards because it seemed out of place judging what I’ve just been through. Out of nowhere, that bird showed up again. After dealing those flying things at the White House, I knew that using the Rift as a weapon was my only chance to fight back. Unreal indeed, as big as this bird is, I don’t see any sign of it now. I started running for the pyramid and it came whooshing at me again. I had to dive into the Rift for it to miss me. The two-headed Eagle was burned by the flames of the Rift because it was so close to grabbing me. The bird was screaming on the ground as I could see one of its heads was scorched. The bird gathered itself to its feet and the other head screamed at the scorched head. Unbelievable…. The scorched head fully revived and the Eagle wasted no time flying towards me. The fires of the Rift nearly began to cover me and then that bird let out a loud shriek which gave me I terrible headache and I was distorted immediately. I couldn’t see or hear…. I just knew that this bird was about to finish me. All of a sudden, I felt a great quake from the ground and I slowly regained consciousness. The bird was dead….but how?! I looked at its carcass and I could see that the Spirit Reaper attacked it while I was incapacitated. This power has truly became one with me and maybe my journey will be over at the pyramid. Now, I could see that the pyramid had four eyes which rotated at its peak. Before I could think of my next move, the Shadow Wraithe came flying through the sky and knocked off the pyramid’s crown. It began to crumble into the earth and once it was nothing but dust, a large flame erupted from within. I got further away, not knowing what to expect and that when I saw a giant demon which resembled a goat and the four eyes from the pyramid was lodged into its body. The fires on my forearm and shin blazed in a way I have never seen but before the fight started, I heard the Shadow Wraithe. “THIS MOMENT IS THE MOMENT THAT WILL DEFINE YOUR SOUL’S EXISTENCE”. After those words were spoken, I felt a hand grab my left foot and the power of the flames began leaving my body. I fell to my knees…the wounds I suffered from fighting the dust devil returned….I was dying! I could still see the goat-demon standing in the flames then I looked around and saw the Shadow Wraithe. Every time I saw this being, I could only see one eye underneath its hood but now I see two. It then began talking to me, “ YOU WERE NOT CHOSEN,TEVOS….YOU WERE A PAWN….ONLY A SOUL LOST AS YOURS COULD POSSESS THE POWER OF THE FLAME….YOU FOUND THE DIAMOND SHARDS FOR ME AND NOW ITS TIME FOR MY POWER TO TAKE THIS WORLD”….With my final words I asked it….”I thought there were six diamond fragments….I only found three”. The Shadow Wraithe unveiled a great enigma and said ,”THE THREE ARE ONE”. It removed its hood and it looked exactly like me….then it flew into the Rift….leaving me to die. If I am to die then it will be here and not by my own hands like the coward I portrayed….I really believed I was fighting for my redemption. The goat-demon stood up within the fire and I could see light gleaming from the eyes within its body. A beam launched from each of them and fused into a large ball of energy which was headed directly towards me. Death….”My Death”….I guess this is how it ends for me….but not so. At the moment before the ball of energy was about to make contact, I saw what looked like three men negate the blast. At that same time, I felt someone touch me on my shoulder and I was immediately revived. I had what seemed to be armor over most of my body. Two of the men flew towards the goat-demon with swords while the third stayed back and explained my situation. He was fully armored and said he was called “The Messenger of Death”. He then told me that they are not men…they are Angels and because I didn’t bargain or beg for my life when the Shadow Wraithe left me for dead, I earned a true redemption. I saw the two Angels as they decimated the goat-demon and then “The Messenger of Death” created its own Rift and said, “Let’s end this battle”. As I entered this particular “Rift”, I instantly saw a vision of myself standing at the end of a long pathway and at the end of it I saw the silhouette of another person standing there as if he was waiting for me. Then I saw a strange face form behind him after that, I saw myself airborne…I could fly now! Upon exiting the “Rift”, we could see the Shadow Wraithe and another tall figure that with him among a lot of stone structures which looked like Stonehenge. The Messenger of Death said,” This place holds mysterious powers unknown to man and we must stop them before they merge the two diamonds”. This new power that I possessed was already mine to wield…I was one with this armor. We both flew towards the demons but I noticed that The Messenger of Death was gone…it was like he teleported because the next thing I saw was the tall figure that was with the Shadow Wraithe get tossed into one of the stones. Once the Shadow Wraithe was distracted, a whip with blades at the end exited that back of my armor and caught the Shadow Wraithe in its neck. It fell to that ground and when I landed, I took hold of the whip and pulled the Shadow Wraithe to me. Before it could speak, a spear appeared in my hand and I impaled that Shadow Wraithe. It emitted a loud scream and it exploded…sending my across the ground. I rose to my feet and saw The Messenger of Death holding both of the diamonds. He told me….” Tevos, you have earned the right to hold the diamonds but with such power, these same forces will try to take them…Be Ready”. The diamonds floated to me and fused into my armor, one in my upper-left deltoid and the another in my upper-right deltoid. My armor began to light up as looked around, I saw The Messenger of Death reconstructing the Stonehenge back to its original state then I found myself standing on that cliff….by the tree which I was resting upon. I sat down on the tree stomp and heard these words…UPON THIS TREE,YOUR SOUL IS TIED FOR IT’S THE PLACE YOUR FLESH HAD DIED… AS THIS BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY RAGES ON , YOU SHALL UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN…..

I’m sitting on this tree wondering…”What is the meaning of all this”…I fought against things I’d never thought I see. It felt like a nightmare that I couldn’t wake up from….”A living nightmare” with a chance of hope but my soul was at stake. As I stood up, a fire erupted around the tree. I thought it was from my armor but this power didn’t work with fire. I began to react but I was too late. I was attacked from behind me and all I could see was fire….a great fire. It felt like I was in a daze, I couldn’t tell what was happening and all I could feel was intense heat. After a while, my vision became clear and this great fire was real. In the midst of the fire appeared a strange gate with a huge eyeball in the center which kept looking around. I didn’t know what to expect, I had no plan and then a fire line creeped across the ground in front on me. The fire began to take shape and a tall creature with horns stood before me. One of its arms looked like a long spike. Next, a voice filled the area and it actually sounded like the dreaded voice of the Shadow Wraithe….but I thought I killed it. “You are in my domain now, where death doesn’t rest and pain is forever…You will know what forces you war with,Tevos”. When the voice became quiet, I knew I was in Hell. It seemed that my fight for redemption was still in the balance. “You will now face the first “Evil”. This “First Evil” was tall with horns protruding from both sides of its head. It has only one arm and a large spike in the place of the other arm. The creature looked as if it was in pain and then I noticed that it was bleeding from its head by the horns. “You Won’t Ever Escape Us,Tevos….You Will Die”….the Shadow Wraithe voice bellowed and then faded away. The “Evil” charged me quickly, slashing my armor. I felt nothing but I saw the armor on my left arm took quite a bit of damage. I called my whip from my armor and began my attack. This creature was elusive…I couldn’t hit and then its horns began to churn causing it pain. It dropped to its knees and released a terrifying scream because of the pain in which I was greatly distorted. I could barely see and hear from such noise. The “Evil” struck me in my chest. I went flying across the room and I landed close to the fire that was in the area. I could see eyes looking back at me from within. I got to my feet and I could see the “Evil” looking at me as if it was about to scream or shriek again. The armor that was damaged on my left began to light up and it restructured itself. A light beamed from my armor and hit the “Evil” which tore off the arm that was a spike. The creature yelled in pain but before it could try its “scream” attack, I took my whip and lassoed it around the neck. The horns in its head were churning back and forth but it couldn’t scream. I pulled the whip and decapitated it. The remains of the “Evil” burst into flames and a great roar followed by a large tremor filled the room. The eye on the gate began floating within the fire as another stream of fire danced across the floor. This time, the Shadow Wraithe’s face appeared from within the fire surrounding the room. “Now, The Second Evil Will Be Unleashed”! After the Shadow Wraithe spoke, the fire that danced across the ground took shape and this “Evil” didn’t have eyes. However, it had two crevasses in its chest, one in its torso and another in its back. This creature was fixed into the ground like a tree but it could turn its torso completely around. I started to attack it but it didn’t take any damage. It was totally unharmed. All of a sudden, the crevasses on its body began to break open and an eyeball surfaced from each one. Before those eyes surfaced, this “Evil” was turning its body about aimlessly but now it’s locked in on me. I don’t see anything it can use to harm so all I know is that it can see me. I used my whip again but it caught it and began pulling me towards it. (Why did I attack when it didn’t take damage earlier?!) I was in a tug of war match until I just released my weapon and fall backwards. It didn’t try to use my weapon against me, it tossed it within the fire but then the eye within the flame responded. The floating eye emitted a great flame towards me and was trying to fend it off with my armor. I could feel the fire getting more intense as I heard the voice of the Shadow Wraithe again….” This Fire Burns Eternally…You Can’t Stop It”. I felt my armor breaking apart however, it instantly began to restructure itself and a huge light shined from my armor thus blinging the “Evil” which shut down the flame. Another released from my armor that a staff with bladed edges. I impaled the “Evil” in the eye within its back and other eyes in its chest and torso exploded into flames as the “Evil” burn up. This armor has changed into another power every time it took damage or maybe this is the power of the armor….”Light”. I looked at myself and noticed that the armor was gone as the armor became infused with my body. I could actually feel the power now! Another strange form of fire showed up as a column and then it took shape. This next creature, which probably is an “Evil” as well, did not have a mouth. It had hollow eyes and in the place of its hands is what looked like long tongues. Afterwards, I noticed a hole in its neck and then a tongue revealed itself from there. What is this thing! It began to try to lasso me with its tongues but I kept blocking it with my staff. The tongue from its neck shot towards me and wrapped around my staff. As I tried to pull away, the tongues from its arm grabbed legs which landed me on the ground. As I was getting pulled towards it, its hollow eyes whitened and a large tongue came out of its back. As the large tongue loomed over me, I felt my body light up and I fell into a “Rift” which as pulled that “Evil” with me. It seems that I still have the power to use a “Rift”. After I left the “Rift”, I found myself this in the room surrounded by fire and that eye was still there. I took my staff and launched it at the eye and it exploded with a loud shriek. However, the fire remained and that large tremor that I felt earlier got stronger and more constant. A large growl entered the room and then a large mouth exited the flame which was surrounded by fire. It was the same thing that was chasing me in the Grand Canyon. It opened its mouth and a large hand with an eye in the center of it came forth as to grab me. My shoulders lit up and a large sword appeared before me. I picked it up and ran towards the hand. I jumped in the air with a mighty swing and an explosive light filled the room. After the light left the room, I noticed I was standing on the cliff again. I was freed from that room! The sword disappeared with a bright flash but as I looked around, I saw trouble. In the distance was a great fire and quickly, those two men showed up again. Of course, he said they were Angels but the looked very much like men except for their menacing height. They pointed toward the destruction and flew into a portal of sorts. As I left the cliff to follow them, a ball of fire struck where I was standing which sent me off the cliff. I recovered in the air and looked back and I could see a tall figure standing inside the fire. I could see a pair of eyes staring at me but the figure didn’t move. I had to make haste and catch up with those “men”. I will deal with this thing on the cliff later, I shall see. As I flew into the portal, I saw what felt like a vision. I saw myself standing on this path looking at someone at the other end…It was that same vision I saw before when I was with The Messenger of Death…..What does this mean?

- - As I exited the portal, I saw complete destruction of buildings and vehicles. I flew faster to catch up to the two Angels but as I got close, a strange force pushed me back. I looked around and saw nothing. I took off again and I was knocked out of the sky. I landed in a nearby building and saw I that figure that was at the cliff. It followed me! I flew towards it but my armor lit up as I got close. The light was so strong that it extinguished the flames that were around it. Now, I could see this figure clearly and it was the Shadow Wraithe. It was still blinded so I took another weapon from my armor which was a weapon shaped like the letter “T”. I held it like a Sai blade. I pointed it toward the Shadow Wraithe and part of it shot out and impaled it. As it was attached to it, the light from the armor filter into the weapon which sent a surge of power into the Shadow Wraithe. It exploded and it felt as if I defeated a great evil that still held a grip on my soul. I ascended to a great height to get a better view of the destruction and noticed strange roots burrowed into the ground which led to the downtown area. These roots carried destruction from its start to its destination and so I took flight. When I got there, the two Angels were staring at a tree and one of them said it was made of “wormwood”. We began to use our weapons against but it was to no avail. The tree was hollowed out and within the depth of its hollowness, I saw an eye….I looked like the eye that was in that hand in that room surrounded by fire. What type of evil is this. One of the Angels said…”This evil is known as The Tree of Satan….Every evil that you fought in that room was a seed from this tree and that mouth with the hand was an illusion for this is its true form. The other Angel had what seemed to be dreadlocks that seemed to move on there on and he said…” There is one being we can call but we can only call him once because his power is so great. We must take a weapon, stab it into the earth and kneel”. A great fire appeared in front of the tree and then a gigantic creature appeared but only its head. A single hand began to reach out of the fire and that’s when The Angels took out there swords and I used my staff. Once we kneeled before our weapons that were stabbed into the earth, He instantly showed up, standing into front of that great fire. He hand chains around both forearms which went into his back and he wear helmet that his his face. He instantly drew his staff and flew right into the fire and it disintegrated all the way to the roots. One of the Angels said…..”This one is called the 5th.Disciple”. The 5th. Disciple looked around at all the death and destruction and looked at us and said….”I can only do this once”. The chains around his forearms unraveled and extended over his head and generated a light with heat like the Sun. He then drew his staff and punctured the light which caused a blinding explosion. When the light cleared, The 5th. Disciple and the two Angels were gone however, the area was completely restored. I quickly took flight back to the cliff to take a rest but as I got closer, I saw The 5th. Disciple was waiting for me. As soon as I landed he said…”Before I can go back,I must destroy a wicked evil named the Saprophyte…it’s quite powerful and I could use your help because this evil has placed itself in a contained force of wickedness”. I told him,” We shall use the power of the Diamonds to reach it”. The Diamonds in my armor flashed and instantly we were standing on what looked the remains of a blocked off road. This place was not only a housing area for this Saprophyte but this place literally had death all over it. This place that used to be a road was turned into cave. It’s was trees by growing out of the ground, the road had bodies of people in it and the bodies were drained of life. At the end of this area covered with strange bramble and behind it there was a tall creature pacing back and forth. As we began to walk towards the creature behind the bramble, the bodies of people were pulled under the ground and then a strange tree sprouted in the center of the area. This tree looked like the one that The 5th. Disciple destroyed. The 5th. Disciple drew its staff and I summoned fires from the power of the Diamonds. This fire I possess now was around both my forearms and the fires were blue. The 5th. Disciple charged the tree but it exploded into dust sending The 5th. Disciple flying back. When the dust cleared, there was a tall creature standing there with vines for arms. I knew we could take this creature because this “thing” didn’t have a ominous presence to be the Saprophyte. However, before I could move,I was pulled underground. I was slammed to the ground but this area was completely dark. The only hint of light was from the hole I was pulled through and I could hear The 5th. Disciple fighting. Unaware of my surroundings, I made the flames around my forearms ignite even greater but this darkness was think…I could barely see in front of me. Then,I saw a small light…It grew larger and that’s when I realized it wasn’t a light, it was an eye. It appeared about five feet in front of me then it proceeded to rise in the darkness. As I followed the eye, the place instantly lit up and I found that I was in the lair of the Saprophyte. It seemed this creature wanted to deal with me first. This Saprophyte was made like a tree as well. It was rooted into the ground with no face, no arms…just a dark hollow with an eye lingering in the dark. I could still hear The 5th. Disciple fighting above. I got ready to fight but according to The 5th. Disciple, this fight will be the death of me because of its strength. Two creatures began to appear from the part of the Saprophyte where its arms should be but I wasn’t worried about them. There was a small section in the middle of the Saprophyte that seemed to be housing an unknown power. The two creatures charged at the same time. They looked like tall humans without a face. I sidestepped one but I used my staff and decapitated the other. Immediately, a few vines emerged from that small section of the Saprophyte. It picked up the body of the dismembered creature and made it whole again. I thought that I need to get out of the darkness and back up top with The 5th. Disciple but I knew I had to fight my way out of this. One of these humanoids had vines for arms and the other had large spikes. After a brief display of maneuvering, I was tied up by the vines of the humanoid. The other charged in to impale me but the diamonds lit up and the fires from my forearms freed me. I rolled out of the way just in time to see the humanoid impale its ally. I summoned my weapon which was the chain up…I thought it was destroyed when I was fighting in the room with fire but not so. I took my weapon and cut them both in half. Before the Saprophyte could try to revive them, I extinguished them both with the fires of the diamond. The ground began to should tremendously and the tree opened which revealed to be the housing of the Saprophyte. A large creature began to emerge and that’s when I flew back to the surface with The 5th. Disciple. I watched as The 5th. Disciple finished off his adversary by impaling it with his staff. It exploded into dust and that’s when I saw the strange bramble at the end of the area shift. The creature behind it roared as if it knew it was about to be released. I told The 5th. Disciple that I saw the Saprophyte, I defeated two of its minions then escaped. As we prepared to face off with it, a large tremor shook the ground…even the creature behind the bramble became worried as though it was in for a fight. It burst through the ground….all that was visible was two large hands and a strange looking face. How are we going to defeat this thing. The 5th. Disciple released its chains from around its arms and said “Tevos…Be Ready…I will give you my staff and your power will make a way”. After I received the staff, one of the hands of the Saprophyte covered The 5th. Disciple and began to try to bury him into the ground. The chains of The 5th. Disciple began wrap up and tear into its hand but it only slowed down how fast he was getting overwhelmed. I began to fly toward the Saprophyte but I was quickly grabbed in mid flight. I held the staff over my head and yelled as I stabbed its hand and that’s when I saw the power of the Diamonds. I was now a Spirit…I could see myself and The 5th. Disciple facing defeat at the hands of the Saprophyte but it could not see me. I flew above the head of the Saprophyte and the Diamonds lit up causing an blue flame to cover the staff. I impaled the Saprophyte which caused a great explosion but before I lost consciousness, I saw that vision of myself standing on the path looking at someone at the other end.

- -(From the perspective of The 5th. Disciple)

- I crawled out the ground and noticed a great cloud of dust and in the mist I could see Tevos standing there holding my staff. I went to meet so to congratulate him but as the dust cleared, all that was there was the staff stuck into the ground and both of the Diamonds laying next to it. I retrieved the Diamonds and the staff as I looked and saw that the area was still infested with the Saprophyte’s evil. The strange bramble at the end of the area died off and a tall creature ran towards me. At first I didn’t recognize it but as I looked on I could see it was The Wendigo. I drew my staff to face off with it but a blinding flash covered the area. Once I gained my vision, I found myself standing on the cliff of Tevos. It seemed the Diamonds knew my fight with The Wendigo is meant for another but it’s strange…it feels as if Tevos is standing here with me.
