Enzo couldn't see anything. He didn't know where he was. He had no body. There was nothing around him except black. He moved forward and a path appeared before him. This was the only thing in his surroundings, so he walked the path. The path never ended. Enzo walked for what felt like 2 hours. He walked and walked and walked. The path never ended. Enzo's curiosity was the only thing keeping him sane. After walking for a long time he knew what the path had to offer and stopped moving. He stood still trying to look through the void. He felt a tug, not on his clothes but on him. There was a small black blob there. It muttered a couple things. Enzo couldn't hear what it was saying so he tried calling out to it. "Speak." The little spirit tugged even harder on him pulling them two right next to each other. Enzo heard then a loud high pitched voice. "Keep walking the path mister or you'll get punished." Enzo stood there as the little spirit passed him. Then he jumped off of the path. Enzo felt himself falling for a very long time until he finally hit the bottom. He felt no pain and couldn't see himself deformed. When enzo looked up he saw a man. He didn't have a face. All he had was a black robe surrounding a body and head. The figure spoke to Enzo. "What do you think, GOD or gods?"
"I don't… I don't think about that. Nor do i care." The figure looked at Enzo more intensely.
"What do i look like to you?" Enzo told the thing what he saw.
"A figure with no face. Okay well let me tell you this i am the god of death and the underworld. soem have called me Hades, the Grim Reaper, Yama, and many many other things." Enzo stared at the self proclaimed man. "You have died which is why you were on the path. You jumped off the path to judgement. Which means you either still want to live or you are stupid. Which one is it boy?"
"I want to live obviously." Enzo felt himself be lifted up into the air then the figure took out an orb and put it in his stomach.
"I'm giving you an orb of my power. The more powerful you get the bigger it will get, although it is not a physical thing. When you return to your body it will be there. It is what will keep you alive think of it as a second heart. When i come to take it back if it is big enough i will let you to continue your life. If not i will take the orb and your soul will be mine." Enzo nodded his head and was whiffed back to a bed he opened his head and raised up. When he did this his head hit something. He was lying in a casket. Enzo knowing the deepest burials only go 6 feet teleported himself upwards. He turned to see a tombstone that read "Enzo Kaiser 1603-1620 RIP" Enzo looked down at his body, the black orb was inside it. The orb had strands that followed through his veins. It pumped black essence through these channels like a heart. He disregarded Both of these of these things and started running for the castle. When he got to the castle he asked a servant what day it was. The man informed him it was saturnday and the tournament was going on in the fighting colosseum. Enzo thanked the man and ran off quickly. He arrived when four people were fighting. He saw a vampire boy with a dragonkin partner and a skeleton demon with a goblin partner. Enzo located Elza in the stands she was very sullen looking and her eyes were filled with tears. Her eyebrows were skewed together. She also had bags under her eyes as if she had been crying for several days. Enzo ran towards her. "Elza" he called out. When she looked up she saw a boy with red hair and black eyes who resembled Enzo.
"Who are you?" Enzo looked surprised. He knew who he was and wondered why Elza asked that question.
"Im Enz." Before he could finish the sentence a fist hit him in the stomach. Standing before him was the murderous intent of the strongest person in the vicinity. "Don't say that name and don't try to impersonate dead people." Enzo felt air return to his lungs and fell to the ground. Elza picked him up and set him in a chair then sit next to him. "Do you want to explain now or have me kill you?"
Enzo looked up at Elza. He assumed the only way to tell her who he was, was by memories. "When we were in the orphanage you were always followed and wanted by boys so i told you to wear baggier clothes. That didn't work so i pretended to be your boyfriend. The first day i walked into the orphanage i was 5 years old" tears started to form from Enzo's eyes. "Some boys started picking a fight with me and i beat up two of them but their numbers were too great and you came to my aid. I rushed into an army of beasapiens because i was angry at them. They got the better of me then too. You came after i had already lost and even used an adaption to save me so before we got caught i used the rest of the power in my body to teleport us back to the castle! I am Enzo. I don't understand why you don't believe me!" Enzo promptly received a strike on the head and his vision faded away.
He woke up in a dark room. Death again? He thought then in the corner elza stood up. "I believe you but here's the thing you were made a criminal for disrupting the peace between people. The beasapien army blamed the village massacre on you and claimed they stopped you but you teleported away. I was going to fight in the tournament by myself as your representative but maybe you can be my partner. You have to think of a different name to go by." Enzo let out a sigh of happiness. "Okay do you have the weapons we asked for from the blacksmith?"
"Yes i got everything i needed but he only gave me a crown for you."
"Perfect. Okay let's go and my name will be Etzio. But only until we get this sorted out." Etzio and Elza walked out of the room and they were in the middle of the colosseum. It was now their turn to fight. Elza yelled out to the spectators. "The new man i have chosen to be my partner, the one to represent for the king's eldest son is Etzio Kaiser, Enzo's cousin." Elza winked at the king and he nodded his head. Across the arena Mikha and his new partner walked out. Mikha had already let out his wings, horns, and scales but his partner looked like a normal human. The bell was hit 3 times shaking the ground and on the third Mikha flew into the air and spit a fireball at the two others while his partner ran straight at them. Enzo and Elza were thinking the same thing and waited until the last possible second to move causing the fireball to hit Mikhas partner. They were both thinking something and were right. Their two opponents could have only trained together for a week at most and had no compatibility so much so that the partner yelled at Mikha. This enraged Mikha causing him to disable the partner. Mikha looked up at the two. "I didn't need him anyways. I'll give you the beating Enzo was going to get!" Enzo grabbed the crown he had made twirled it around his finger and flicked it downward twisting it into a rapier. Elza armed herself too. The three rushed at each other. Enzo teleported behind Mikha while Elza use her adaptation, super strength, to move the ground around Mikha making him lose footing. Enzo went for an attack on his wings again knowing how much they matter in a fight. But was electrocuted by a shock trap. Mikha flew out of reach from both of them. Enzos arms fell and his rapier dropped out of his hands. Enzo couldn't move his arms. The electricity had numbed his nerves. Meanwhile Mikha was overpowering Elza in hand to hand combat. Her spear allowed her to hit him at a further distance but his wings let him out maneuver her. Enzo jumped in on the fight and the three were at a stalemate. Mikha spit fireballs at them and acid on the ground. Slowly the two were getting worn out. Mikha hit Enzo with his tail knocking him far away then all of his power turned on Elza. He grabbed a hold of her and sent three fireballs close range into her body. She couldn't block or anything, just take the pain. The fire caught on to the clothes and soon started burning her skin mikha whispered into her ear. "Tell Enzo thanks when you get to hell." Then he threw Elza 150 feet into the air above the colosseum.
