The cool autumn air rushed passed as the evening sun set. The long days of summer were coming to an end, and school had returned to those who were still young. One particular young man had started to contemplate how things had ended up as they were. He had begun this day the same as all the others. He woke up, put on his uniform, grabbed his things, and then, left for school.

Class that day was uneventful. At the end of the day, the teacher announced to the class that a test was coming up. The young man was upbeat, feeling confident that he was prepared for it. Wanting to do his best, he decided to go straight home for a restful night, so he would be one-hundred percent ready. So, off towards home he went.

As he walked his friends called out to him saying, “Kent wait up! Can you help us with our studies?” His friends ran up to him with pleading hands and pleading faces. The desperation made him feel empathetic towards their plight, and he suddenly felt obligated to help them, so, belaying his previous plan, he did. Kent’s intentions were good, but he ended up staying far later than he had wanted to. Kent finished helping his friend’s study and finally started to leave the school's campus. The path home was a safe one. If only he had left at a normal time, for that day was a particularly special day .

Slowly walking home, Kent had not a care in the world as he stared up at the starry sky. He had a strange longing for the stars. He had always felt drawn to the sky, as if being pulled towards the sky itself. [Nights like this have always been the most peaceful times for kent but tonight is not one of them as the looks up longingly a monstrous noise breaks the silence and pulls kent out of thought and as he tries to move his head to look for the origin of the sound his body shudders as all color is drained from the world his face still pointed at the sky. Kent can’t help but feel an overwhelming fear as the stars themselves begin to distort and a light that originated from nowhere draws all the light of all the stars in the sky producing an overwhelming sight, this is not the end of his troubles no this is just getting started.

A light, an overpowering light, a light not of this world rains down if only a few feat in front of Kent, and then a voice that seems to originate from everywhere all at once it's tone is a heavy one one that if it yelled it could destroy all of existence.

“You have the qualities i am looking for boy.” the voice bellowed “through your soul is not pure thus i shall take you impurities.” as those words passed the sky poured another beam of light only this time it fell on top of the immobilised Kent, as it did to Kent a sensation of being ripped out from and into his body happend to feel like he was losing himself as the light vanished and the surroundings changed time seemed to move once more and as it did the voice began to leave. But then a unworldly wail stopped the voice from leaving the one to make such a sound was none other than Kent, the was bent over on his knees and screaming at the voice to give it back when he did not even know what he had lost or truly why he was so scared to be without it.

Although the voice had been stunned for only a moment started to leave again, but it had a vision that the boy would suicide if it did not intervene that would not work for it so it decided to speak “what i have taken can not be returned for i have filled that space with a new power.” that was not enough to quell his fear no it only fueled it his wailing was now nothing but incomprehensible babble. The voice was silent, in this moment it thought of a way to fix this.

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

These are the words it spoke “There is only one way to return what I have taken,but if you can resolve yourself to move forward then put your hind in here.” saying that a new column of light appeared. With tears, and snot pouring out of his face he ran over to the light and plunged his fist into the burning light, it incinerated his flush, burning his left hand to nothing but ash. He was thrown back landing on his back holding his stump of a left hand, it started to regenerate his hand was growing back, “it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!” these are the only words that escapes from his lips.

The moment he was thrown back it started the pillar of light which had consumed his hand flashed as it began building what looked like a human it looked like Kent, his brown hair with a streak of white that was not on Kent to begin with, and his eyes were a deep crimson unlike Kent's blue eyes.

After his body was assembled cloth the same as the ones that Kent was wearing appeared, and a matching backpack he was lowered to the ground asleep laying next to Kent. All of the light that had taken his disappeared all that remained was the light of the moons and stars. Falling over kent fainted from the shock. Laying next to each other the two of them are in a forest the two moons overhead producing a beautiful scene unbeknownst to the two of them darkness was looming over head.

The next day the sun rose from the east peering over the treetops and shining on the faces of the sleeping Kents. The original awoke first shortly followed the new Kent, they had the same thought on their minds the first to speak his mind was the original “What should we call you? We can’t have the same name now can we.”he said with a chipper voice that made it seem yesterday never happened the new one smiled a devious smile and said

“You know there is that name! The one we used in that game!” (new Kent)

“You don’t mean?!” (Kent)

“I do mean!” (new Kent)

“The name tha that conquered the four demon kings of old, The name that went undefeated for four hundred years! ‘Raphael’!!!” (new kert :Raphael)

“Nooooo don’t yell like that it's so embarrassing!” (kent)

Holding his hand over the hands of the newly dubbed raphael's mouth to stop him from speaking in that way. After awhile they settled down and began to speak of what they should do.

“Okay since you are so insistent on that name i’ll call you Raph.” (Kent)

“That's fine to, you know I was just trying to lighten the mood a little.” (Raph)

“So what are we going to do now?” (Kent)

“Letts check our stuph together. We have no idea how long it will take to find people.” (Raph)

“That is a good idea, we don’t even know where this is so let's keep our wits about us.” (Kent)

They start by checking Kent’s bag it's the same as he left it just school supplies, some leftovers from his lunch and a half dreken water bottle. On the other hand the bag that Raph had was very surprising when they put their hands in they feel like they are being pulled into the black pit. they both pull out and look at each other.

“This.. this is... is this a magic bag?” (Raph)

“No no, there’s no way, that it is…” (kent)

“Okay ok let's calm down and see what's up with this bag and not jump to conclusions.” (Raph)

Saying that Raph plunges his hand into the black vortex, fishing his hand around to see what is in the bag. He feels a piece of rolled up paper he grabbed hold of it and pulled it out with all his might. Examining the paper it seems to be a letter from the voice who seems to be called the God of Worlds, The letter reads.
