'My name is Orion...Orion West. I'm 20 years old and I am 5"7' with eyes of ice. A very light shade of blue that many people call mesmerizing. My hair is a dirty blond mess when it's long so I cut it frequently.
Also I'm currently dead watching my own body be put into a coffin...creepy. The cause of my death, Saving my brother in all but blood Kris from getting hit by a car. I was really expecting to die in a different way.' "I never thought I would die so young. Oh well at least I saved my brother."
As I say this the world turns black with a tunnel of light on my right and a tunnel of red on my left. I walk forward, confusion evident on my face. "hello!! Is anyone there!?" I shout hoping for an answer, which I get in the form of two people. The one on my right has long silver hair, clothed in a mix of white and gold, with a pure white longsword attached to his waist and green eyes.
On the other hand the guy on my left has hair that looks like the midnight sky with hints of blue, and speaking of blue the darkest blue eyes I've ever seen. He is clothed in crimson and sapphire, he has two daggers on his belt that look like obsidian.
I instantly figure out that these people are a devil and a god of some sort and I stand my ground. "So you figured out who we are have you?" I nod my head to the silver haired one. "Good my name is Zack" 'So the gods name is Zack...thats Interesting and he doesnt seem like my enemy also good' I think to myself.
This time the devil speaks "My name is Regulus. Now that you know our names we have something to tell you little one" I blush slightly and then glare at the now named Regulus. "Oh look at the spirit this one has!!" Zack laughs as Regulus silently pouts, but shakes his head and a sudden seriousness takes over.
"Here is the deal Orion....the Overworld is overcrowded and Underworld is the only option for you right now. Unless you want to become a ghost." I sink to my knees as the situation takes hold in my mind. I feel a hand on my shoulder and see Regulus kneeling and rubbing my shoulder. "Not all is lost Orion..I understand that this seems unfair but the Underworld is not all that bad."
Regulus tries to comfort me by rubbing my shoulders and sitting next to me. "Are you always this nice to people?" I can't stop my mouth from opening. I inwardly curse myself for saying something so stupid. I close my eyes expecting pain but all i hear is quiet laughter and a soft chuckling. "I am to those who died doing a good act. I'm not as dark as the humans paint my picture to be. Just like how Zack isn't all that nice, nothing is just black or white."
I stand up slowly and all I can think of is a soft chair to sink into when I'm suddenly sitting on a plush chair. My surprise is evident when I jump off the chair causing more then quiet laughter from both Regulus and Zack. "What just happend?!" I'm a nervous wreck as I glance at the chair again before sitting slowly. "That little one, was conjuration. Where you thinking of a place to sit down that was comfy? I'm guessing for you to take in all this?" 'Again why is Regulus calling me 'little one', why does he keep calling me that? I'm not that short!' I think as I nod slowly.
This time Zack says Something "magic is evident both in both the Overworld and Underworld. You humans used to practice it all the time but since 100 years ago no one openly practices it anymore." 'Oh' is all I think and that reminds me of some wierd stuff that has happend. I remember watching a guy stand before a dying tree. It suddenly came back to life greener then ever. And another time when someone someone stood in a dirty river and it was suddenly clean.
"I've seen magic before some dude brought a tree back to life. Then another person cleaned a super dirty river." They both nod and then sit down on throne like chairs one red and blue, the other white and gold. "Your use of conjuration was an accident really, not a fluke so don't get me wrong. Anyway back to the matter at hand. Since the Overworld is up to it's limit right now you have 2 choices. 1 become a ghost, or 2 go to the Underworld, I assure you it's not as bad as everyone thinks. Since this basicly happend because of me, me and Regulus agreed that you will be given a couple gifts."
Zack motions for Regulus to continue. "Zack has given you a couple choices of weapons and a system like rpgs to help you and guide you." As he says this a bright cyan colored screen appears before me. [Welcome to the Underworld! Your job is to climb the ranks and enjoy the afterlife. I am the system you can name me for easier use. do you wish to do so?]
[Yes]
[No]
"Yes please" I ask and get a response immediately. [What will you name me?] I put my hands on my chin thinking for a moment when I look at Regulus and realize he's been helping me through this. "I will name you Regal" [..Name confirmed. I am Regal you can think of what you need me to explain and I will do my best.] the screen disappears and Regulus looks at me funny then he appears to blush. [Congratulations you have made a devil blush. 0 exp awarded also dear user, you have caught him off guard and he will now keep an eye on you.]
Now it's my turn to stare weirdly at the spot where the screen dissapeard. "Now it's my turn to give you your gift here you go Orion" I dont see him smiling as I accept the cloth wrapped box. I begin to open it and see a set of clothes colored crimson and sapphire. My head snaps up and I look into Regulus's eyes my own watering. "thank You Regulus these clothes look amazing!" He doesn't blush again to his credit but I can sense the happiness in his smile. "that's not all dig deeper!!"
He says giddily, Zack laughs and whispers in my ear "He may be royalty and a demon but he's the same age as you." I'm caught by surprise as I dig deeper to find a backpack, this one colored a deep sapphire with crimson latchings and Z crossed with an A on the smallest pocket and an elaborate R on the strap. "it's bottomless and enchanted to be weightless and you can call out anything by saying what you want to out of it. The AZ is the company name ArchZone." I look at the R and back at Regulus.
"Oh that was my old backpack from high school...." he smiles, eyes clouded by memories of happiness and some bitterness. I open the backpack and out comes a Staff, sword, dagger and finally a wand 'ah these must be the weapons Zack has given me.' I pick up the dagger and wand trying out the weight of both and I put the others back while strapping the dagger to my waist and I slip the wand in my sleeve.
Regulus face is one of shock and happiness "so you want those in arms reach thats good. The wand may seem useless right now but with practice you should be able to use it properly." I Nod my head and Zack gets up and says "it is time good day Orion have fun and good luck." He disappears as the portal of light closes. Regulus looks at me once again and thinks 'maybe he is the one to change the rules of my father...ive already begun to like his silent type attitude and the strength in his glare.....dammit he reminds me of myself!' We walk through the portal to Hell and appear on a cliff under a sky of blue and a city made out if redish silver metal and bricks and slums made out of wood..."this isn't what I expected" I whisper and Regulus smiles. "This is the first city Blackburn"
