Not soon after they started sinking in their misery and despair they heard a voice, but not around them but inside their minds. Unknown voice said:
"If you dare to enter you shall be protected of death until you serve to the ALTAR. Once you are in, there is no way back"
"Like hell i would want back" - said one of the creatures. Although many would deny that, they must accept reality in the moment and face it.
"How do we get in?" - asked one of the creatures.
"Get close enough, raise your hand to the planet and say ALTAR OPEN, best of luck" - said unknown voice
Time was moving and there is no enough of it left to doubt anything. Most of creatures done like voice said but there are few ones that stayed behind for various reasons. And so while they were transported, they watched how their people who stayed behind died while universe was destroying itself.
They all were transported to some kind of arena with some sort of altar in the middle. There were no exits. But what was going trough many creatures head was relief that they are alive. Many were celebrating and jumping around with happiness. But not for long.
Again voice said something:
"You shall not leave until you pledge yourself to the ALTAR and your future descendants as well"
"Why we need to pledge anything more less our future children and family" - said someone.
"You won't leave until you do so and if you need a reason, reason is your very life that was saved from destroyed dimension" - said voice
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Many were wary of the offer but they couldn't refuse, but something was different. That voice now and voice before they entered didn't sound similar. But many didn't notice because they were already overwhelmed with happiness and instinct to just survive at any cost.
"One by one place hand on the ALTAR before you and say ALTAR ACCEPTED" - said voice while creatures were discussing with themselves.
It didn't take long before they started doing so and one by one they all disappeared when they said those words while touching ALTAR.
"Why did they dissappear" - someone yelled.
"They are transported to city ELYSIO no need to worry, you will be there soon. - replayed voice.
After some time all of them left but only one remained.
" How long are you going to pretend " he said.
" What do you mean human? "- said voice.
" You aren't saving us, we are for your entertainment i know you from the story of my ancestor." - said human
"You lesser creature, you dare anger me" - said voice with treating tone.
"I also know who you really are" - said human while laughing.
"You dare!!! - said voice with anger.
" Why don't i dare, you can't do a thing to me here in this arena, you can't even interfere much with the planet itself much less with this arena where Lord Of The Third Dimension is sealed. Isn't that right, Lord Of The Sixth Dimension?" - said human with while smirking.
" To think there was someone still alive to know where that weak Lord was sealed and to even know me, hahahha, how amusing, I'm looking to see how good show will you put up." - said voice while laughing (who was actually Sixth Lord)
" Well that's only if i exit this arena, right "- said human with confidence while turning his head and looking in the empty space where Sixth Lord was hiding.
" Hahahahhahhahahahha" - Lord was laughing in anger
"Then so be it, that's only if you can survive long enough here alone" - said Lord while reliving his anger.
"We will see if i can" - said human while laying on the ground
"Hahahahaah see ya later" - said Lord while leaving.
There was nothing else besides him, ALTAR and high walls of arena protected with barrier. It was so quiet, too much quiet. While he was laying on the floor and looking at the sky, he put his arm on the eyes to hide his river of tears who couldn't stop while holding pendant with picture of his father and mother.
"Father I finally made it, I made it!!
Finally after so long i have opportunity to avenge you and mother, see ya on the other side later."
