John was running as fast as he could from the Huck's smithy, when suddenly he felt a pain on the back of his leg. He quickly glanced back and saw Jim throwing rocks with all his strength at him. Several rocks hit the ground around John but he felt at least 4 hit him. 2 hit his left leg on his calf muscle, one hit his right hip and the last one hit directly in the center of his back. He didn't stop running, shortly he found himself at a familiar cave.
John sat on the ground in front of the cave where he first experienced Doren's power. He started looking at his legs where the pain is. "No need to worry John, I can fix that." Ampol assured. In an instance John watched as the blood ran up his leg into the wound and the would sealed itself shut. "That's amazing Ampol!" John exclaimed. "We are going to have to discuss what we can do together." John stated to the deities within him. "First, we need to get out of here." "Agreed." John set off heading west through the fields and into the woods. John quickly learned how to trap animals for food and found flowing streams for water. John had to learn how to cook without the use of a kitchen. Neither dieties had ever needed nourishment as they had no knowledge of cooking. As he travelled he began learning the sword styles from both dieties. He slowly began perfecting each individual style. Then began merging the styles. "Interesting." the dieties thought while watching.
Months have passed and John has mastered the swordsmanship from both sides. His merged style is not yet mastered but very proficient and effective. "John, you have learned our fighting styles. Now's it time for you to learn about our internal powers." Ampol and Doren agreed. "What do I need to do for that?" John asked curiously. "A place where we cannot be disturbed." Ampol responded.
John travelled into the woods and found a waterfall that splits at the bottom into 2 streams. Between the streams there's an island. "Looks as good of a spot as any." John stated. John crossed the stream and sat in the middle of the island and began meditating. Giving the dieties hid undivided attention. First Ampol started off by showing him his true form. A muscular man with silver armor with gold trimming. An elegant one handed sword with unknown characters engraved into the blade. He had long, straight silver hair. Eyes that glow white with a hint of gold. The most amazing feature that caught John's eyes were the 2 pure white wings behind the man. The feathers were large. "I don't understand." John claimed. "You said you represent the light, but you have wings?" "John, I am an angelic general. The strongest of my kind." "Does that mean Doren is the demonic general?" John asked frantically. "It does." Doren replied.
Across from the angelic being known as Ampol is the demonic general known as Doren. Doren too was tall and muscular but he didn't have any armor on. He was wearing a torn robe. Long jet black hair, like it could suck light in. Eyes glowing blood red, wielding a sword. It was a curved long sword, the blade wasn't smooth. It was rigid. Almost like the sword had teeth of it's own. It was a feared sword. Behind the man was another set of wings, but different. They were black and boney. "If you are a demon, why do you have wings?" John asked. "I wasn't born a demon, I was an angel like Ampol. I turned into a demon by committing sins that were unforgivable." Doren explained. "What do you mean?" John quickly asked. "Another time John." Doren answered.
John concentrated on the 2 figures standing before him in the void of his mind. They began sparring, showing John how they fight. John understood their styles easily since he's mastered them both. Doren faded out and left John with Ampol. "We are both immortals John, however we don't understand if you are." Ampol explained. "John, are you willing to accept our beings? Make them apart of yourself?" Ampol asked. "Of course, Ampol, you've both saved my life." John claimed. "Then embrace us, know we are one, entangled for life." Ampol stated. As John began to accept them as his own he started feeling his body change. Despite him only being 11 years old, he could pass for an adult of 20 years. His body felt lighter, more toned, he felt new.
"Time to move on John." Ampol stated. John opened his eyes and couldn't believe what has happened. His left side reflected Doren, red eyes, jet black hair and a single black boney wing. His right side reflected Ampol, long silver hair, pure white-gold eye and a pure white angelic wing over his right shoulder. "John, it was a success. Instead of our souls being tangled into each other's, we merged into one." Ampol explained. "One last thing before we leave." Ampol claimed. "What is it Ampol?" "You need to see this." said Ampol. In an instant John was watching Doren and Ampol's fight. The swords clashing and there it was. The flash of light and John laying in to middle of the battlefield. John noticed that his aura was strange as an infant. It was calm and relaxing with random spikes of bloodlust and terror.
"This war is on hold until they get our replacements. You could fill in for one of us and end the war now John, if you wish it." Doren explained. "I'm not sure I can pick sides, you both have saved me." John replied. "John, since you have accepted us, our powers are yours to control. We are no longer 3. We are one." claimed a unison voice.
