The Crypt

In the deep lands, beyond waters, even beyond hell, were no one is allowed to come back and your soul have no peace, no serenity, no joy, and no happiness is known. Where only death exist and punishments ruled, in the kingdom of Kriptys and Kriptycus, owners of the afterlife graves and rulers of the Crypt's lands. In the Crypt's lands everything is was a nightmare, the smell of death, and black and white colors unless was blood, red blood. No one was free and nothing was your own. The only emotion you were allow to feel was pain. The only art that existed was the art of mistreatment and suffering, the only award you can received is humiliation. The favorite hobby from the rulers it was punishing as well there job, hunting you eternally. They will forever and ever make you remember you had nothing, you were nothing and there were no escape from the Crypt because nothing you will remain. Of course memories existed but after a while you couldn't ever understand them at all, unless was about sin, evil or death. The amount of punishing everyone received at the Crypts made the life on earth a long distance blurred, as if that never even happened.

You might ask yourself how the Crypt's lands looks? They were always dark, gloom and cloudy, always cold and everything was black and white. The skies, the people, the trees, the animals, everything was black and white, even the waters. Kriptys was allowed to use diverse type of red. Her favorite one? Red blood. She was the only one who had the privilege as the original owner, ruler and Queen of those lands. Married to Kriptycus, the most evil and wickedness hangman and executioner known in the underworld. Matrimony base on fear and power control over the death living on there lands. Kriptys got to hell being a live creature from the earth lands, looking for a feudal kingdom to own and rule in order to become immortal and open the book of prophecies under her name. Kriptys job was making sure that once you touch her lands you found no way to get out of them. Doesn't matter if it was a mistake or not your entrance to hell and at the Crypt, opportunities to make it better it was her job to make sure you never gain. Living in suffering in misery but more important in sin and evil. Making sure you soul belongs to hell and in Kriptys's Lands for the rest of the eternity. Every soul who arrives at the Crypt, creates a tomb in the graveyard and from it, body of the death person comes out for the beginning of Kriptycus journey on his art of punishment. This bodies wake aware but not acknowledging, majority were confuse, still thinking they were alive. They still feel but they are not allowed to create right conscience. They could only feel pain over and over and over again and that is when Kriptycus comes in with his excruciation. There was many type of torture, one of them was tighten up on by the neck to the branch of a tree, decorating the trees with 3 to 5 bodies hanging in each branch all over around the trees, and remember this bodies were already death they don't die again, they only suffer more and more, deeply and deeper suffering. After hanging those bodies, some of them get stabs, other shots, maybe even bought, and all of them burn down with the smell of human body BBQ impregnated everywhere. And at the Crypts no one becomes sand or disintegrates. Some other times when the bodies awakes and step out of the grave, he will use two daggers to cross them from the back of there heads to there eyes, making them scream of clutter and afraid, without knowing worse thing were coming. Kriptycus could not enjoy more the confuse and pain of those deaths coming out of the grave from the graveyard provoke by him and for the first time of those death. Creating a field of hundreds of them running and scared bumping with each other, falling in the ground, hitting them self with the walls full of nails, to then Kriptycus start slamming bombs, gun shots and explosives everywhere and seeing all type of organs flying all over the air. One of hes favorite punished was grabbing the new death population and hammer them to a table and tight there body extremities to savage and hungry horses so they could ripe them off there body part and after having those bodies part broken apart he will throw the rest on the field for the rest of the horse, all angry, stepping on them and destroying the rest of there bodies. Kriptycus and Kriptys life were full of the things they loved and enjoy the most, the suffering and pain of others provoke by them. Hearing the screams of the population in the kingdom was music to there ears.

Now that you have an idea of how your afterlife could be once you die, remember that even if the angel of death make the mistake assigning you or not to the Crypt, there is not going back. But if you are reading this is because you might still alive and this story take place the day Kriptys notice a flake of blue on her entrance, her door to the Crypt, the lake.

-Kriptycus, I notice a light change in the color of my Lake, making it look less gray- Announced Kriptys to Kriptycus.

-Have you? I haven't notice such unfortunate situation. Any idea why that could be? Possible nothing to worry , don't you think?- Says Kriptycus not paying to much attention.

-There is a problem with that color change... This could actually affect the rest of the land and the organization of our nature. There was only one time I have seen a change of color on this lands and that was when I arrived. I was from the Kingdom of the Skies and I was sent away on the mission of conquering new lands for me and to form my Kingdom to gain no only power but immortality. I did cross to this land and I made it here throw those waters. Once out of the water, I saw that dash of gray blue for few seconds and everything went back to normal, to be black and white. But in this case, I have been watching for hours and that blueish color has not vanish. I do remember once being told something about this. Was thousands of years ago, when I won the war and conquered this lands. They said that the door of hell's remain close for all life creatures but not from the ones who owns the power in the skies or beyond the underworld. But if for some reason a flick or dash of color you see, be worry because the lands of life were being cross.- Informed Kriptys to Kriptycus, reviewing the enigma word by word.

-Those that mean we have people alive here, visiting us? It sounds like a great paradise of fun! To celebrate the death of live creatures in our lands, to make a great example of those trying to infiltrated them self to our lands torturing them, so the message could be clear to who ever had the idea.- said Kriptycus celebrating his imaginary crusades. When in reality Kriptys understood that it was worse then what he imagine. It was a big mystery and one that has to be solve the immediately. That maybe someone from the Crypts it was in the land of life of vice versa or even worse.

-Kriptycus, my big bold scary machine full of great ideas an ways to continue bringing joy to my ears with the succulent suffering of the ones we own and punish, I think is time for me to make a trip to the lands of life.- Announce Kriptys in a calm way of life to Kriptycus.

-Are you kidding? You have never left this lands for over thousands of years, Impossible. You can't... What if you don't come back or if this is away to start a war. No! I will go for you or with you, you can't...

-Stop! Like the main ruler of this lands, Queen and owner of this Kingdom I have to do this by myself and you will stay and make sure thing continue here the way it should be. And is an order, Kriptycus.- Demanded Kriptys

Kriptys turned around and left Kriptycus all by himself, wondering why his woman that never goes anywhere without him ever since they were together, was taking such a decision. He knew Kriptys was not only more intelligent, educated and powerful but also from the sky, the celestial kingdoms. There was so much more of her he didn't know but he trusted her. However even thow he knew Kriptys gave him an order and she didn't like to be disobey, he was not going to stay there just waiting for her without doing nothing.

In the meantime, Kriptys was already at the edge of the lake, making sure she was alone before touching the waters. After all she was not a creature born in Hell but in the sky and yes, she promise to never go back again, to forget about those kingdom and everyone on it, she promise to never use her celestial powers and she have never done it so far but in a time like this, were a big mystery was raising in the her lands and affecting there nature, something she had never lived before, first thing were first and right now was getting herself in safe place away from the Crypt and there evoke an spell to get in touch with the other rulers of hell. Once she touch the waters she started walking in to the deep and once all in the water opened to her creating a type a path for her to walk. She was going to the place of her last conversation with her father. Kriptys was a very detailed woman and knew very well real nature and she could identify a since of desperation, you could feel the presence of something from out of the underworld nature around them. Something or someone was watching her, was waiting for her, wanted her. She could not stop the sensation she was actually walking to an ambush, someone was tending her a trap and what she hated the most was knowing she was following someone else design plot, step by step. The question was who?

In the other hand, at the kingdom was Kriptycus trying to find a book, or someone from the commoners to explain to him what this could be but he didn't trusted no one enough for him to ask for help or guidance. He usually solve everything with Kriptys and he was angry like a beast to know she left without saying nothing more to him. There he was all alone in there chamber, ready to start screaming, full of anger and anxiety getting out of control destroying everything around him, ripping everything he could found, breaking tables, glasses, throwing vessels throw the window and screaming the name is Kriptys!

-Nooooooo! I want the Kriptys and I want her nooow, and you silly and insignificant commoners will have to suffer my anger because I can't have my way or my Queen and that is the only thing will make me feel better.- Announce Kriptycus and everyone understood something was going on and they better cooperate. He turns around kick the door breaking in to pieces stabbing one of the servant in the chest, grabbing the servant by the wood on his chest and pushing it even more crossing the board from the chest to the back and throwing him from the 5th floor of the castle. Provoking a massive confusion around everyone and no one dare to scream or move. He turns around with his hands on his sword, ready to pull the sword out to decapitate the first person in front of him but this loyal servant actually place a package in front of him.

-Your majesty, King and ruler of our glorious lands, the Crypt, here I have a message with your our Queen and your beloved wife name on it.- she dare to say in the middle of the chaos.

-Out! OUT NOW- Kriptycus scream at everyone and all of them vanish in just a few seconds knowing it was better to stay in the dungeons. -Good, good... Kriptys is not here and I am the King, ruler and husband of her. I have, I own the right to open this, specially now she is not here to receive such a thing. I swear whoever is behind this will suffer my rage.

He opened the package and for a second he was confuse but then, he came to the realization of what was in front of his eyes and started running after Kriptys.

Kriptys was already in front of her destination. The cave she arrive too, when she cross skies, earth and water, and found that cave as the entrance of the lake who guide her to the lands of the Crypt. The first time she was there, she was all by herself but that was not the case this time around. Knowing she was walking to the trap of someone, and they were able to got her until this point she didn't said a word or touch anything. In the corner of her right eye she saw the presence of a shadow...

-My dear Kriptys, has being so long last time of our inquire.

Kriptys recognize that voice.

-Do you have any idea why are we here? I bet you have to be so angry right now, knowing I was able to find you my beloved daughter. You never came back home, and today is your 150,000 thousands year birthday. Can I understand who in there right mind comes to this places, from the sky!! To this nefarious places? More than everything, I heard you were married. You understand that the prophecies in the Skies are going to hunt you for ever? My Beloved Penelope... You could have everything with us but now is on the hands of your King and Husband to continue this journey. To see if hem is as clever as you and can honor your decision on marrying him.

-I have no doubt in my mind he will be able to do that and even more father. I thought I was cleared, and I also thought you were never coming and less to provoke the fury of your own daughter. How long have you being here? What else have you touch beside this cave and this water?

-My dear Penelope, don't flattered yourself, we can be Father and daughter but we are nothing a like, do you think I wish to go to your lands? They disgust me. I do have to recognize your success but not lack of taste or your ways. -Kriptys's father, king of the thunder and majority owner of the land of the sky was not there in a family reunion mission. Before family? Power and execution. Kriptys's kingdom, life and future were in the line.

-Father you know that now my name is Kriptys now, not Penelope and I demand an explanation for all this situation...

-How there you demand something from me, even if we are not in the Sky I STILL AM THE MAIN RULER OF EVERYTHING AND YOUR FATHER AND NO ONE IS GOING TO DEMAND NOTHING FROM ME. DO I MAKE MYSELF UNDERSTANDABLE?- All the lighting in the cave was fading by shadows who could hunt even the most powerful creature existed. Kriptys could understand she had no escape. There was no need for her to even fight back. Her father was not only more powerful then her but also the only creature she actually fair even if she didn't admit it. - Say hello to my friends- continued Kriptys father- You know them right? I can see fear in your eyes... You understand why are they here? Hahaha, my dear Penelope...- He took a breath of air and with that a part of Kriptys soul with him, making her react and turn her head to the ground and breathing with shortness of air.- The rest of you, is to feed them, my dear pets, and as you know only one can actually restore your soul to your body. Until then!

-FATHER! Noooooooooooo-Kriptys's father disappeared in the mind time her knees broke down and all the shadows were sucking out every single drop of breath and air in her, and leaving her bagging and in pieces in the floor- Fatheeer!- Doom by her own father...

-Kriptys!- Kriptycus barely made it to see his beloved wife rest in the floor, a body with nothing... -No! NOOOOO. My Queen, NO! you are not leaving me, us... don't worry, I will fix this, I'll. Guess what I have? Today I received a package under your name. My master send it to me... As a reminder of the day you were born again, and I know you still here, with me. Because we are who we are, but we do what we do because we gain it and we love each other. I will fix this... I promise you will come back! NOO, my Kriptys don't leave me because you are the only one who ever have show me something good and that I am worthy of you.- Kriptycus hold the body of Kriptys tight to him, crying thinking he was late but litter that he knew the magic of the Celestial kingdom are pure and only good intentions could break the spell. What Kriptys never had could guess was that Kriptycus knew about this cave and less that Kriptycus master trained him knowing the path of the prophecies between heavens and hell.

It was one of the most dark and terrifying nights ever live in the Crypt. Kriptycus walked out of the lake with the body of his wife on his hands. No one was around, The Crypt, lands of the death looked more dead then ever before. A thunder came from the underground skies and started raining in the meantime Kriptycus cross the castle door and walked all the way to there bedroom. There he left the package with the dagger that came on it, he took Kriptys and hug her like never, thinking he might have lost her, he repeated the same words his master told him once

(master: what will you do if someone was able to steal from you the only love you knew? kriptycys: no one will ever do such a thing because I will kill them first! master: yes, I bet you will, but knowing how this lands are, lacking of everything that we call good and never knowing love, what will you do if you could not be able to save her? kriptycus: I remember hearing someone in the castle saying that if you found love one time at this lands, it will be that only time and with that only person and if you were able to make the oat of blood to symbolize that only love? you can actually die with them and be reunited with that one time. master: will you do that even if it is by stabbing your heart with a dagger like this, to yourself? kriptycus: Yes!)

-Even if it is stabbing my heart, myself...- Kriptycus push the dagger deeply in his heart and fall beside Kriptys death body. A very stormy night a head of the Lands of the Crypt, and for days no one woke up... until Kriptys opened her eyes with the sparkle of the light in the waters reflecting on her face. She looked at the lake and those waters were back to normal, with there black and white grayish color, turned around and there he was, her only one time! Because no one is safe in the land of death but only a few can space, for now.
