The next time I became aware of my surroundings again it was like I had fallen into my drawing. It was devoid of any sort of light, and I was laying infront of a fountain of a man in robes hair covering his face, and his hands out stretched, and folded. As if welcoming me to step into the fountain only now I could see in full details the face behind the hair was that of pure evil. He had a menacing smile, and glowering eyes that meant to harm you by any means necessary. I then heard footsteps behind me, and saw an exact copy of the statue only in Landon's body.
"Welcome Arashi to my fountain shrine I'm, so glad you could make it because you're the guest of honor." He grinned wider
"Funny I don't recall ever getting an invitation." I shot back
"How incredibly witty of you, but I'm afraid the time for games is over. You have done an incredibly good job at hiding from me I had no idea even the day you stood right in front of me denying me the pleasure of the death of the useless one that it was you I was after all along. You see the thing about human documents they don't always provide a picture of the things you wish to hunt. So you can imagine my frustrations, and now my patience have grown thin, and it is high time for Barella to relearn of my existence in this world." He sneered just then outside beyond the temple gunshots started to sound throughout the cave, and from all different directions. As soon as they had started a familiar face entered the temple.
"Your grace preparations have been completed however H.C. have arrived for the girl." Hima Bricker announced your grace...preparations.. Then I finally realized what was going on.
"It was you all along the tactical attacks, the lack of information, the accessibility to records...it was all you, and RG." I expressed
"You didn't make any of this easy having H.C. on your side from day one those annoying little pests, but once you are out of the picture it will be much easier to take this planet as ours once again, and no one not even you can stop it." Landon sneered, and started to laugh.
"Leave her alone!" I heard Alex shout as I peered around Hima, and saw Alex covering one pillar exit Uri in another a female I never met before another male I never met, and my dad all pointing a gun at Landon, and Hima.
"Looks like you were right Alex Hima is working as a member of the Order of Silence." My dad indicated to Alex.
"Order of Silence you make me laugh that name was created by a treacherous bafoon to categorize an organization that he used to be apart of. Order of Silence means nothing, but a cover up for the worship of us the original creators of this world. Without us there would have been none of you annoying, self righteous, bags of flesh...fortunately for you we still have a greater use for you, or we would have whipped you flesh stains off the face of the planet ages ago." Landon sneered
"Do you not hear him Hima he doesn't care one bit about us all we are to him are pawns we can end this now we can push him into the fountain and reseal him." Alex tried to convince him
"Who ever said that childish idea would work are you trying to get his cloths wet go ahead, and try if you feel so bold." Hima urged
"Screw this." Uri snapped, and shot Landon in the shoulder forcing him to step back into the dark waters of the fountain he then placed a hand on the wound, and it healed up as a single drop of blood dripped off his finger into the water.
"You don't seem to realize I am already of this plain only a God can put me back a pathetic human has no capacity to even attempt to seal me. Your effort as amusing as it was shall be punished, and no better away then a demonstration of the power we Gods possess starting with the summoning of an old friend Hima bring forth the girl." Landon ordered stepping out
"Don't touch her, or I swear to the Gods I will shoot you." My dad unlocked the safety of his gun I've never seen him quite angry before.
"Oh you humans have to make everything so difficult!" Landon shouted then turned his back to us, held his hands out to the wall, and spoke a strange language. Just then the statue came to life, swooped a hand down, and grabbed me. As Alex, and everyone opened fire on the arm to try to destroy it, but with each shot it was no faster at seeing results. As it then stopped, and dangled me over the fountain.
"Alex listen to me no matter what happens to me promise you won't let them get to Cordy!" I shouted down at him
"What on Barella is a Cordy?" Landon asked as Hima shook his head
"No...let her go!" Alex shouted
"Ooo wrong choice of words, but if you insist." Landon grinned as he then dropped me I remember crashing hard into the water, but then the world fadded around me...and everything went dark.
We watched in horror as Arashi fell into the fountain, and as soon as she did the water splashed around her as she vanished the water then started to bubble as it turned back to a glowing blue. Then out rose a red, and purple jester cap with a gold version of the orders symbol on the tips. It floated there for a second, and then out sprung a jester from the water he had red hair, and purple eyes he grabbed his hat, and sat on the statue.
"Tsk tsk I expected to be risen much sooner not that I'm complaining a good thousand years is a wonderful time line for sleep yet incredibly boring watching the same filter of events over, and over, and over again...ooooh what do we have here!!! Morduke my boy you got yourself into a pickle I see!" he laughed delightfully
"Omagdys can you reverse this, or not we have a lot to do without the restraint of this mortal body." Landon groaned
"In a second in a second you can't simply awaken a beast, and expect it to jump for you right away, and as it seems you have some very angry guests don't tell me sacrificial lamb, or wait was it the neighborhood pet oh you poor things you're never going to get that back they are now in the plain of discord in which there is no return. Unless you're just as insane as the world around you which in that case they have a chance. Well a promise is a promise Dukey I will hold off on unleashing chaos for the rest of the year in which you realize is 4 and a quarter months to prepare for the ever inevitable clash of the two titans, and as for you five I suggest you batten down the hatches because Barella will soon be a world of terror, and nightmares I assure you that!" as the jesture named Omagdys grabbed Landon, and it all appeared as if he ripped off the front half of Landon only he hadn't as Landon fell to the floor, and Omagdys flung the other thing in his hand. As it smacked to the floor Morduke finally rose an exact likeness of the statue from the bloody, fleshy goo. Before any one could react Morduke emitted a light as bright as the sun, and all of the order members were gone.
