Chapter.2: Onwards to the Light

In a garden with no light as souls run free from horizon to horizon, the landscape covered in plant like growths filled with decay and disease. Towering it all lies a throne made by swords powered by souls, which is a seat for 7 feet tall Abyssal Goddess who looks over her wonderful but disgusted garden. Her body filled with holes, maggots, plants and other types of vegetation, the wounds in her body are constantly leaking black blood and pus.

"I sense a breach within the void as a rift gate channelled energy with in the void. I waited for 50,000 years for my vengeance against a false goddess and her followers. Hah, she grows weak for every day that passes by, with her realm on a knife edge of total destruction." :(The Abyssal Goddess said with laughter as she looked over her garden with pride and vengeance)

"Her Inquisition would be powerless to stop when the Eternal Bloom starts, as I reclaim what purposed to be mine from the very begging!" :(The Abyssal Goddess laughs, raising her arms as its green flesh gleamed in rotting splendour)

*As the Abyssal Goddess sat in her throne wondering for centuries as the swords ends of her throne slowly penetrate her own skin, but she felt no pain.*

"My mother, your flesh gardener, returned earlier than expected." :(Voice a spirit long decayed spoke out)

"HE HAS WHAT!" :(The Abyssal Goddess slammed her right on hand on the arm of the throne made of swords, as the sword tips pierced her right arm, but she felt no pain at all)

"Your son Achlion was banished as soon he entered a breach within the void, he was then banished back into the void." :(Voice of the spirit explained, but it was not too long for this world)

"THOSE BLOODY DAMNATION TEARS KNIGHTS OF THE FALSE GODDESS, I WILL HAVE ALL THEIR HEADS ON SPIKES, THEIR CORPSES TO FERTILISE MY GRAND GARDEN AND THEIR SOULS TO POWER MY THRONE!" :(The Abyssal Goddess shouted like a banshee as her realm of existence trembled)

"CURSE YOU FALSE GODDESS!" :(The Abyssal Goddess screamed out to the void where her garden is, as well her throne)

"THOSE ANGER ME WILL FALL, THEIR CORPSES MINE TO COLLECT, UNTIL MY GARDEN HAVE ITS INEVITABLE ETERNAL BLOOM! THEIR BLOOD WILL WATER THE FLOWERS, THEIR HEADS SERVE AS FOOD FOR THE BLOOM!" :(The Abyssal Goddess again repeated her anger as her influence over the surrounding Void, while the flowers of her garden blossom in radiance of darkness)

"Achlion what have you on earthed today?" :(Abyssal Goddess asked as she looked down a skull of a giant spider-like creature)

"My mother I encountered a powerful mere mortal only goes by the name of the Outsider, a strange 14 year old, that all we know about him at the moment." :(The skull of Giant spider-like creature spoke back)

"14 year old you say, how interesting that my son got beaten by a 14 year old. I will have him killed like all the rest as long I get a soul to power my throne!" :(The Abyssal Goddess cursed with anger filled in her voice)

"How much grander does the Abyss need to break the door, and unleash vengeance upon the world!" :(The Abyssal Goddess laughs her as she raised arms in the air)

"MY TIME IS HERE, I SHALL RECLAIM WHAT WAS TAKEN FROM ME, MAY EVERYONE OF MY HATED ENEMY SPENT THEIR LAST DAYS CURSING HER NAME!" :(The Abyssal goddess screamed as her soul slowly rotting away as its blade penetrates the living flesh)

"ALL SHALL SHARE AND EMBRACE MY GIFT OF VENGEANCE!" :(The Abyssal Goddess said as madness covers her eyes as she raised from her throne with two big wings on her back it's filled with holes and rot like the rest of her body)

"For I the lord of disease, vengeance, despair, corruption, and death. TYRION IS MY NAME; THOSE OPPOSE ME SHALL FALL UNDER THE WEIGHT OF MY VENGEANCE! YOU HEAR ME FALSE GODDESS, THE DAY OF MY RECLAMATION IS HERE WHILE YOU SIT IN THE HEAVENS LOOKING DOWN ON ME!" :(The Abyssal Goddess named Tyrion, screams in anger as her garden trembled and spirits within her garden started screaming)

"MY CHILDRENS DO YOUR WORSE NOTHING SHORT WILL STOP YOU ALL BUT RISE AND SHOW NO MERCY!" :(Tyrion smiled maniacally as the garden shaken in fear and despair)

Meanwhile the Outsider, Celli and Aurelia. Wood was crossing massive wildness of the desert of Chonituary the land of chivalry and Light, it been two months since they left the town of Olisville their objective of travel was the capital of Chonituary only known as the city of light or Ville Lumière. But their journey was not peaceful as expected constant bandit and abyss creature attacks had slowed their progress, the heat from the two stars above made them drink up all their water supplies just to survive.

"According to this map we got to find a river and walk up it from end to beginning to find city of light, where possibly we could find out our answers." :(Aiden. Ashwell tired and dehydrated said as his face burned from the intense sunlight from the yellow stars)

"Actually, the city light is in the middle not at start of the only river of Chonituary we get nearer it as our travels gets further, but right now the only one worries about right now was that all our water is gone." :(Aurelia. Wood eyes dark with black circles said as well her parched and crumbled lips)

"It was once said that Light Goddess was nicknamed the great unifier that united all the nations of Chonituary into a super state, through war and bloodshed while making sure everyone is equal to the law. Since her departure from the mortal world around 50,000 years ago, how I know this my dad gave me a book that tells the story of the great unifier since I was child. But it's in state of unreadability with the letters required light from the user to read properly." :(Aurelia Wood explained and cherry-picked words from her favourite book)

"The Great Unifier? What about those other eight divine and light guardians of Chonituary who uphold the laws?" :(Aiden. Ashwell asked he scratched his head the sun blaring in his grey eyes)

"Well people of Chonituary are the noblest of all, motto of the Light Goddess was justice above all. Well, I don't know about the other eight gods and goddess I only know the Light Goddess, here piece of advice. Realm of Chonituary has female hierarchy as they could easily obtain or borrow the light element from the Light Goddess while men would simply get crushed in every direction when attempting it. Since your special I am guessing you got powers from the Light Goddess, which means every single woman in Chonituary would look onto you like wolves hunting their prey." :(Aurelia. Wood replied as well gave a basic explanation how Chonituary's hierarchy works)

"Yeah, yeah whatever, I won't just settle down if someone ask to marry me or worst yet goes for forced marriage." :(Aiden Ashwell commented at how female bias the world of Chonituary)

"I am wondering Aurelia, are you a light user?" :(Celli asked curiously as she wanted to know why she didn't borrow any powers from the Light Goddess)

"Well, I wanted it at first but my father preferred me to be wind ranger, which I had to complete training to be wind user as it takes years to be attached to an element. I was trained from child hood to master the art of the wind element, other thing is once you master an element you can't master other without deadly effects." :(Aurelia. Wood admitted)

"You know about this Aurelia since your family were rangers and their specialty?" :(Celli asked slightly confused but sure her life is full of exploring and mysteries)

"Correct as they passed away with me to remain as I wondered in my home town for years without seeing anyone. For you as a fairy celli are you perhaps a spirit fairy as they are the guide of Chonituary. They always say the light always show the path to and beyond our reach." :(Aurelia. Wood replied)

"I am no guide fairy; I am just a fairy that's all." :(Celli denied)

As Aurelia. Wood and Celli talked to each other nonstop it started taking toll on the Outsider as his mind only has single thought of survival and finding out where the hell is he to the map and how he can return to Terra. He started getting annoyed as the conversation is pointless to him, his eyes are starting to get blurry. He looked around only to see a young girl with pale white skin, short flowing blond hair, and deep blue eyes. She has two ribbons on her hair, she carries a crown on her head which represents her unknown status as it filled with jewels and gems, and has a cape attached to her back. She wears a blue dress that ends below her knees and has a white ruff around her neck. Her dress has a slit on the side, which reveals her left leg. She carries a staff which is littered with jewels and gems but at its top it has special jewel called the gem of unknown.

"So is this the person I randomly picked, he seems to survived this far while others had failed from the start. He seems to have potential as the last hope of the world. I should keep an eye on him and his companions." :(The Girl looked at the Outsider and said her assessment)

"OUTSIDER, CAN YOU HEAR ME!" :(The voice of Aurelia. Wood echoed through the wind)

"I was shocked that you managed to survive a greater demon known as the Fly Gardener of Tyrion, many had faced him before but all failed. How did you do it?" :(The Girl asked a question to the Outsider)

"Uh someone was controlling my body madam, who are you perhaps?" :(Aiden. Ashwell responded back but his voice not heard by Aurelia. Wood or Celli)

"Controlling your body what foolish question that is impossible, to answer your second question you already know my name. You are surprising to me, many before you can't handle the strength to use my powers but you can easily use them without difficulty. I see many get crushed to death by the powers given to them others collapsed on themselves then exploded with no remains left. May my light guide you to your destiny, as my power fades away the abyss grows stronger with each passing day, your mission is to stop them at the source. I am no longer able to manifest fully in this world after someone related to you had delivered a fatal blow that I could not recover from. The person who delivered the fatal blow only goes by Laura the Traitorous, this your only chance to redeem yourself. You must find a way to prevent the Abyss coming into this realm in the first place with your companions, your journey and task will be long even it would cost you your life and soul. The whole people of Chonituary are counting on you to complete your task I had given you. Your companions may help you succeed. My time is done." :(The Girl explained with a heavy heart as she walked out to hazy mist that formed behind her)

"Please give me more time, I don't know what to do, and the people of this world don't need a false hero to save them, they need the true hero to save them, the only hero is you the true hero of the world." :(The Outsider begged as (The Girl about faded away into nothingness)

"I don't expect anything from people in Chonituary, as my justice makes everyone happy and equal even, they are different from each other. It's your time be a hero not only for them those by your side also, not all heroes are the same they differ a lot. Your journey is only a beginning, and the rest is up to you." :(The Girl replied just right before faded away out sight in the hazy mist)

"Outsider wake up!" :(The voice of Aurelia. Wood shouted)

"What just happened I could swear that there was a beautiful girl who had the appearance of a princess, a young one as well. She said something important." :(Aiden. Ashwell spoke as if he was in dream like state)

"What beautiful girl it's only me and Aurelia. Wood here Outsider. And we need water now as the heat is slowly killing us." :(Celli questioned with a hint of suspicion in her voice)

"But I saw a beautiful girl but she was dressed in a weird dress like one of those princesses, she was carrying a crown as well. She told me to find her, I have no idea why she wants me to find the source, I don't know who she is." :(Aiden. Ashwell said with confusion in his tone)

"Are you perhaps suffering from a sunstroke as its very hot and sunny, the only thing we got to find water to drink?" :(Celli asked)

"Fine, Aurelia do you know where the end of river is so we can drink water, I need some right now." :(Aiden. Ashwell agreed with an angry tone)

"It is not too far away and I think we will reach it tomorrow evening." :(Aurelia. Wood pointed a finger towards the sunset)

"Well let's hope that it is not dried up and full of dead bodies. We got a long way to go before we get to the City of Light." :(Aiden. Ashwell sighed)

Aurelia. Wood, The Outsider and Celli were extremely exhausted as they made camp near the very end of river stream, they knew to walk up it to get to the city of light. As Aurelia and Celli dozed away deep in their sleep, but the Outsider stayed wake as he could not sleep through countless attempts of hours and tries. As he looked around his surroundings seeing nothing just empty desert and river stream bank their camp is nearby.

"For once I was banished in darkness weeping for 50 millennia to come, my tears make the rivers of my hated enemy." :(A voice echoed through the wind which is only heard by the Outsider)

"I was once born in a cold area of the cosmos, I am surrounded by materials of dead star, I cannot see, hear, move or know my name. I can only feel what is around me, it was so hot and cold at the same time, it feels like my own body being crushed in all directions. I can sense people around me, are they related somehow, as bright star I am, I not perfect. People call us the star sisters, which they would be right, three of us, born at same time. As we glow, suffer, learn about our existence, I shall one day learn about my creator, I bear the responsibility to continue the work what my creator had left me with." :(Other voice echoed through the wind which is only heard by the Outsider but it sounded divine)

[I keep hearing these voices day and night, are they telling me something or is it just my head messing with me?] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought as he trying picture what is really going on with the voices and what they're trying to tell him)

"How much do others have to suffer for the mere works of the false creation, damned for eternity." :(Echo of a voice was heard by the Outsider)

"As their inquisition purged and purified everything of the false creation, they act like they have the authority of the Light Divine, along her seven other divines, the water, fire, wind, thunder, nature, earth and ice." :(Echo of another voice was heard by the Outsider)

"They say the Light Divine is the great unifier but that far from the truth, she is weak scheming goddess who use every tool presented to her and discard them once they complete their objective. She is a goddess of manipulation, trickery and deception." :(Echo of a third voice was heard by the Outsider)

[Who ever saying theses voices clearly do not like the Light Divine or Goddess of Light. They probably have some kind of grudge against her, maybe I'll ask her later.] :(Aiden. Ashwell thought as he was confused at what was happening around him, but he didn't have an answer)

"Outsider follow my light, my voice and guide your friends to the light." :(Voice was heard by the Outsider but the voice was not the three voices from before)

"I will always be there for you Outsider; I am here to help and guide you to the light." :(Voice was heard by the Outsider as he looked around but found nobody)

"We will always be together Outsider, I will always be with you, I will not leave you behind." :(Voice was heard by the Outsider but no trace was seen)

"I am your guide, I am your friend, I will always be there for you." :(Voice was heard by the Outsider, the voice sounded gentle and calming)

[SHUT UP, SHUT UP PLEASE SHUT UP, I CAN'T TAKE THESE VOICES ANYMORE, JUST STOP!] :(Aiden. Ashwell screamed internally, as he could not take the constant voices in his head, they were starting to drive him mad)

"We will always be there for you and will never let you go." :(Voice was heard, but not the usual three voices, but these sounds more feminine and gentler, and the voice is not heard by the Outsider)

As soon Outsider was about slam his head on the ground, he felt a pat on his arm as he looked up, he saw the same girl since yesterday, with pale white skin, short flowing blond hair, and deep blue eyes.

"You need to learn to ignore the voices they only exist to deceive you; the abyss is known for manipulation and deception. Do you not remember?" :(The girl said)

"No miss, I don't remember much from my memories as they are incomplete. But the voices are real, they sound too real for me to ignore them." :(Aiden. Ashwell says with a concerned look on his face, unsure if the girl is telling the truth)

"Right, isn't it beautiful the night sky filled with millions of stars, I was once in your shoes helpless and weak but my urge to show my creator that I am reliable persisted. Unlike you I had no one to talk to, for million or billions of years I felt the cold of my surroundings I could not hear, think or touch anything around me. I only had my sisters around me, as I slowly being crushed and watching life grow from this world and other. I had a lot of time to think and process things around me, as the guardian of my own system I grew up in, I watched the stars for answers and planets for guidance. One day I was visited by other goddess from different star system she was like me, I could see or heard her but I felt her presence, and I learned that I am not alone with my sisters their others like me waiting to be discovered. Humanity once dreamed of reaching those stars, since your arrival have you felt the same?" :(The girl spoke calmly, but her tone was serious and stern, like she was speaking from experience)

"Miss, why are you asking me these questions? Who are you? Why do I see you in my dreams and not others?" :(Aiden. Ashwell asked confused)

"The reason is simple I am unable to manifest fully in the world I watched grew from the ground, I been in peoples dreams since I ascended into the heavens. Since you asked for my name, I am only refereed as the Light Goddess, the one who unifies the people, the ruler of Chonituary and the creator of this realm. You may also call me Floraius or Flora for short." :(The girl introduced herself)

"Wait, what? But how are you in front of me and talking to me now? What do you mean you created the realm?" :(Aiden. Ashwell said in shocked and confused)

"Those questions may lead to more questions that is not easily explained. Others talked to me about the same questions but they got answers, even when they did not want them." :(Floraius simply said)

"Outsider you must press forward with the things presented to you, your journey will be hard and long, but I got my faith in you. You have my full support, the world and people in it, will be saved by your hands." :(Floraius says with a smile)

"Why is it always me that has to go and save the world, I didn't ask for any of this. I want a normal life and be a regular person not an Outsider who everyone sees a hero, I don't even feel like a hero." :(Aiden. Ashwell whines as he didn't want any of this)

"Everyone said the same thing to me, you are only hero in my eyes as you beaten a greater demon even it costed your life at stake. My inquisition needs your help as they only could do damage control not fight at its source. You have a great burden on your shoulder, I hope you can bear with it, it's a lot to ask but the fate of the world is in your hands." :(Floraius speaks as she was in deep thought)

"So, you want me to go and fight the Abyss, a force that is more powerful than the gods themselves? Do you have any idea how insane that sounds?" :(Aiden. Ashwell speaks with disbelief)

"You have a power that is beyond what everyone could achieve able to master the element I am responsibly for without difficulty is achievement that can't be ignored. If it wasn't for you the abyssal rift gate would have spread to the nearby towns and villages. It would be the beginning of an apocalypse." :(Floraius speaks without fear)

"What if I said no, I have a right to decline." :(Aiden. Ashwell speak with defiance)

"That is true you can choose not to do it, but you rather see a realm in total darkness with a sinister goddess who only wants swords and souls to power her throne. Or you want a peaceful realm filled with people, animals, and a goddess who actually cares about her people. The choice is yours." :(Floraius speaks with confidence)

"You're telling me that I have to defeat an evil goddess because she is evil and the other is nice and caring." :(Aiden. Ashwell says with sarcasm)

"Not exactly, she is broken in a way that every word she says only advances her goals of corruption, fixing her is not option." :(Floraius answers with straight face)

"So, what do you expect me to do, stop her or kill her. Those are not options." :(Aiden. Ashwell argues)

"Whatever choice you chosen will affect those around you, would you rather see a realm burn to power a throne, or a peaceful realm that will flourish for generations. I do not expect anything from anyone, they have their own free will to decide what is right and wrong." :(Floraius simply says)

"Miss, you are asking a lot from someone who is not even an adult yet. How could I decide the fate of the realm." :(Aiden. Ashwell pleads)

"Children's like you can easily adapt to any situation, while adults could not do that if presented to them which would cost their life. You are very strong and resilient; you could defeat a Greater Demon or any demons perhaps. So, why can't you defeat the abyss, you have all the power needed." :(Floraius argued with an intense glare and statement)

"Because I can't, I am just an ordinary human being, I don't have any combat training, or abilities that make me a hero. I am not the perfect hero or chosen one, I am just an ordinary guy. I didn't ask to be sent here, or be called the outsider. I just want a normal life where I don't have to deal with this crap." :(Aiden. Ashwell yells with his hand covering his face)

"Would you rather have someone take your place, which means everything I gave you would be given to your replacement. I doubt you would ever survive outside the city without anything I gave you, not even a single sword, armor or gold piece. Your survival is entirely dependent on what I gave you." :(Floraius argues back as she was getting impatient)

"I don't want to hear any more complaints the time is ticking, every minute the abyss gains power, it grows stronger." :(Floraius shouts with irritation)

"Why is it always me, there are other heroes, other champions, and other people that can do this." :(Aiden. Ashwell argues back)

"There were champions before you, they were all defeated by the abyss and became its slaves, the only one that came this far is you. Why you saying you want other person to replace, it would be better to get your act together that would save other persons journey like you from making a mark. They will curse your name like your sister did, you rather let others die for a selfish act of wanting to live, or fight for a selfish act of wanting to survive. You're not the only person that wants to live, but there are other people that don't want to die because of you." :(Floraius states clearly as the temperature began rising)

"I know, but why do I have to suffer, can't I have a break, and not deal with all this. Can't you give the other powers like me." :(Aiden. Ashwell asks with a hint of sadness)

"I am too weak do that, they would not survive the process of the powers I gave you as they will be crushed on themselves or far worse explode in an instant. But you managed survive this far, you are willing let other person suffer this fate you never experienced, so tell me. Who's selfish now?" :(Floraius spoke with her voice full of sorrow and grief)

"I-I didn't know, please forgive me, I didn't know." :(Aiden. Ashwell spoke with shock)

"There are some things that cannot be forgiven, the choices you make will change the future of this world forever, the path you are walking on is for it's destruction when you die here there no going back. Your soul would be consumed by the Lord of Corruption and Death, Tyrion, and the whole world would follow suit." :(Floraius explains, her voice filled with emotion)

"Please reconsider the path you are walking on, think of your sister, parents, friends, and the people that are depending on you. You have the power to save this world and bring hope to the hopeless, don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers." :(Floraius pleads)

"I... I don't know what to say." :(Aiden. Ashwell speaks with disbelief and shock)

"You need to decide, are you willing to save this world or not? It's your choice, but if you choose not to then there are no going back. This realm is doomed without your help, and the people are doomed as well. They are all counting on you." :(Floraius speaks in a determined tone)

"But why me, I am not special, or have the power, I am just an ordinary guy from another world. What can I possibly do to save this realm and its people." :(Aiden. Ashwell says, his voice filled with desperation)

"DID YOU EVEN LISTEN WHAT I HAD SAID, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DID NOT ASORB ANY INFORMATION I SPOKE TO YOU. WHY DID MY SISTER EVER CONSIDERING TO CHOSE YOU AT ALL, ALL YOU WANT IS TO SURVIVE WHICH WOULD NOT LAST LONG WHICH THIS REALM WOULD BE DESTROYED BY THE ABYSS. DO YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS FIGHTING, NO, YOU'RE NOT. YOU'RE JUST A COWARD THAT WANTS TO RUN AWAY FROM THEIR PROBLEMS. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE CAPTURED BY THE ABYSS OR WORSE?" :(Floraius screams with rage, her face full of disgust and contempt)

"I... I'm sorry. I just want a normal life, a life where I don't have to deal with these powers, or the Abyss, or the demons. A life where I can be free, and not worry about the world ending. I know it's selfish, but it's the truth." :(Aiden. Ashwell confesses as he looks at Floraius)

"WELL YOUR LIFE WOULD BE CUT SHORT EITHER WAY BY LIVING OFF IN PEACEFUL LIFE AS THE ABYSS KILL ANYONE WITHOUT MERCY. EVERYONE OF CHONITUARY WELL CURSE YOUR NAME TO THEIR LAST BREATH AND THEIR SOULS CONSUMED BY A THRONE." :(Floraius spoke with spite)

"I don't want this, please stop. Please." :(Aiden. Ashwell pleads as tears flow down his face)

"WHICH ONE WILL YOU CHOSE FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF CHONITUARY OR LET THEM SUFFER ALONG WITH YOU ALSO. WHICH ONE WILL YOU PICK?" :(Floraius shouts, her voice echoing in the darkness)

"I CAN'T, PLEASE STOP. I DON'T WANT TO CHOOSE, PLEASE!" :(Aiden. Ashwell screams)

"IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO CHOOSE THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN, YOU WOULD BE JUST AS MUCH AS A SELFISH HYPOCRITE AS YOUR SISTER, BUT THIS TIME IT'S FOR A DIFFERENT REASON. WHY DO YOU HATE SEEING OTHER PEOPLE SUFFER WHILE YOU DO NOTHING." :(Floraius roars with anger)

"I am sorry, I can't take this anymore. Please, I can't..." :(Aiden. Ashwell cries, his voice filled with pain)

"THAT'S ENOUGH, IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DECIDE, LET ME DO THE TALKING!" :(Floraius spoke with furious voice, as her blond hair glowed with light energy)

"WHAT, NO! NO PLEASE STOP, I AM SORRY." :(Aiden. Ashwell panics as he tried to move away from Floraius)

"EVEN YOU ESCAPE FROM ME, MY INQUISTION WILL HUNT YOU TO THE EDGES OF THE COSMOS AND IF THEY FIND YOU, THEY WOULD HAND YOU TO MY STATUE WHICH YOU WILL WOULD BE SCARIFICED IN ORDER FOR MY TO SUMMON A REPLACEMENT FOR YOUR COWARDICE. THE INQUISITION WILL DO ANYTHING TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND STABILITY." :(Floraius spoke with a harsh tone, her eyes glowing with white light)

"Please, stop. I am sorry, I didn't mean to." :(Aiden. Ashwell cries out desperately, his arms trembling)

"IT'S TOO LATE, THE TIME IS UP." :(Floraius declares, as she raised her hands)

"YOU HAVE NO CHOICE ITS EITHER YOU WOULD SAVE CHONITUARY OR YOU WILL PERISH ALONG WITH THEM, IT'S YOUR CHOICE." :(Floraius spoke in a loud voice, her voice echoing across the desert)

"NO, PLEASE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE TO GET HURT. I WILL DO IT, PLEASE. I AM SORRY, PLEASE." :(Aiden. Ashwell pleads as he drops to his knees and starts sobbing)

"SO, YOU AGREE TO DO IT?" :(Floraius asked as she lowers her hands)

"YES, PLEASE. I WILL DO ANYTHING TO SAVE PEOPLE, I WILL SAVE CHONITUARY. JUST, DON'T KILL ME, I CAN'T DIE YET." :(Aiden. Ashwell speaks frantically, as tears flow down his cheeks)

"Very well, since you agreed to save the world from the Abyss. I will not kill you, but you must swear an oath." :(Floraius said)

As Floraius walked right up to the Outsider where she pushes him down on ground with her right feet on his head, her eyes were glowing as the Outsider was unable to move or struggle, her voice boomed with authority.

"What is your life?" :(Floraius asked)

"My life is yours." :(Aiden. Ashwell responds, his voice quivering)

"Who are you?" :(Floraius asked)

"I am an outsider." :(Aiden. Ashwell responds)

"What is your fate?" :(Floraius asked again)

"My fate is yours." :(Aiden. Ashwell answers)

"What is your fear?" :(Floraius asked again)

"My fear is to fail." :(Aiden. Ashwell answers)

"What is your reward?" :(Floraius asked)

"To see a smile on the faces of those I love." :(Aiden. Ashwell responses)

"Then we have a deal, may the Light shine on you and guide you. You have my blessing, I will send my inquisition to protect you, I wish you luck." :(Floraius states as her eyes stop glowing)

To be continued....
