Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 The Spirit World

The snow started to fall as the wolf and Ostrythe continued to walk up the mountain. Ostrythe, still in his half wolf form looking around and started to see different auras. As he looked at the sky the weather began to change. The cloud started to part and the clear beautiful night sky was clear. He sees the stars clear as day and begins to smile. Ostrythe heard a voice behind him and turned around to see. It's a man wearing a black cloak but Ostrythe can see the aura of this man. This aura was a yellow and suddenly it turned to orange then gold. 

"One of the beautiful things in the world. You can find peace within nature. Although I may ask you this. What does fate have in store you? What will you reveal to the world as the Prophecy begins to unfold? " The man said as he faded away. Ostrythe thought to himself and wonder who was that man. Then he continued to walk as he was falling behind the white wolf. The white wolf stops in front of a cave. "Thou must go inside to unlock, thou forbidden past."

"Forbidden past? You mean burn memories…?" Ostrythe asked, and began to walk towards the cave. But he stopped and looked around and then looked back at the wolf. There was Raven sitting on the white wolf. The Raven jumps in the air and changes form to a woman with dark purple long flowing hair, hourglass like body, and a round face which has rosy cheeks and has purple eyes.

"Hello there I am Parthenos. But enough of the formalities this thing you call burn memories are actually called Seal Memories." Parthenos stated as he gently sat on the white wolf's head with her legs stretched out like her was resting them on something. Ostrythe shock but trying to understand the situation. 

"Parthenos...I could have sworn I heard that name before... But I don't have any seal memories. I know what I saw." Ostrythe stated bluntly, but that moment Parthenos vanishes from his sight. Then reappears behind him.

"Let's take a look shall we?" Parthenos whispered to him and touched his left shoulder. This causes him to pass out and wake up ten minutes later in a burning town. Ostrythe gets up and runs to look for a way out but the buildings are collapsing everywhere. He looks around and holds his head like this is all a dream. Parthenos appeared again in front of him, calm and collective like she knew this was going to happen. 

"Why are you freaking out, this is your spirit world. You claim to say that you don't have any Seal Memories here." Parthenos said, smirking at Ostrythe as he looks at her with rage.

"You don't know nothing about me. Who are... " Ostrythe said try to finish but she interrupted.

"Before you in your mind and feelings. I am not important to you right now. You don't know your father and your mother was murder in front of you. The thing about Seal Memories is that you lock them away. No one else can do that unless it's a ritual. In Vonis' case that is." Parthenos stated, so Ostrythe went to a burning building and stuck his hand out and immediately removed his hand.

"This fire is real…So this isn't some magic reality?"  Ostrythe question Parthenos. She walked up to him and she grabbed the fire and it was sitting on her hand. Unfazed by the fire she turned around and flickered the fire to the farthest building and blew it up. 

"This place is the Soul Plain aka Spirit world. The reason why you feel the pain is because your mind is more powerful than your soul. So the heat of the fire you know about in your reality you believe it to be the same here. A select few humans can enter here....But the place is for the souls that live on. Once you adjust to this work the fire and others won't bother you." Parthenos said, understanding the reasoning Ostrythe nodded his head. 

"Since you're starting to understand what I am saying. I can begin, This hellish place is created by you because of the tragic event in your life. You remember this town or should I say village." Parthenos said, raising one eyebrow at Ostrythe. He looked around and the whole scenery changed to a village burning and he looked to see that there were half wolf people dead and laying all over the place. Taken away by this Ostrythe fall on his butt and his eyes began to water.

"This is a hidden wolf village that was attacked by the man that you humans called The Boss. He was in search of something or someone." Parthenos explained to Ostrythe but he looked at her with disgust in his eyes.

"Why would I seal my own memories?" Ostrythe asked as he wondered to himself. Parthenos gave a sigh and looked at Ostrythe and sat in front.

"I don't know how to tell you nicely but you were 9 at the time." Parthenos said but suddenly Ostrythe and Parthenos saw two kids running for their lives. They both got up and looked at each other then began to follow them. The kid in front was pulling the other's kids arm to make sure he caught up. But suddenly the kid behind fell on the ground and began to cough. Ostrythe took a closer look at the kid that was still standing and realized it was him.

"Von get up!! We are almost out of here. My father can save us...We can't give up." young Ostrythe said to young Von. Von tried to get up but couldn't because his legs were injured. A 8'4 man with a huge hammer jumped down from the sky and landed in front of the children. Ostrythe tries to step in but Parthenos puts her hand out and prevents him. 

"Vonis I will kill you because you will be a problem for my lord. I don't care if He is upset with me if I kill you...BUT I will not allow you to ruin his plan, little boy!" The deep voice man said but Young Ostrythe got in front of young Von and stretched out his arms to shield him.

"VON PLEASE RUN!! My duty is to protect you and I will until DEATH...Just like how my father did when he was protecting your father." Young Ostrythe said, smiling at young Von.

"That is very touching for your final words kid, but this isn't a fairy tale. Time to die!!!" The deep voice man shouted as he lifted his hammer in the air ready to finish off the young Ostrythe and Parthenos looked away. Young Ostrythe closed his eyes and shook in fear but that same moment a big gust of push the man with the hammer back. This force smashes him through a wall. Young Ostrythe looks up and sees a man with armor and cape flapping on to the wind and has blue dreadlocks and has his mouth covered and a bandage covering his left eye. And holding a long bladed spear. Young Ostrythe started to smile.

"Father!!!" Young Ostrythe cried out. He turned his head and smiled at him.

"Ostrythe my boy...Remember that vow you made to Vonis. You're his bodyguard and his only friend he has for now. This Prophecy has to be stopped for the sake of humanity no matter what the cause is. Work together and cover each other's weaknesses and strive to the top. Children remember my name... I am Beowulf!!" Beowulf said, as the man with the hammer popped from the ground and swug at Beowulf. The moment Beowulf ducked and used the back of his spear to knockback the man to another building.

"Wulf Mark III!!!!" Beowulf screams out and pushes everything back. His dreadlocks turn dark blue and his cloth that covers his mouth rips off revealing his mouth, with a sharp jawline and trim bread. The bandage also rips off revealing one eye color green and the other blue. And a scar that started at his right cheek to his chin. The aura he had is a mixture of dark blue and light green. The man came from the building strike at him. The attack was very fierce and everyone can see shockwaves of everytime they clash. Finally Beowulf was knocked to the ground and he got back up and lifted his spear in the air. The spear started to draw a lot of energy.

"Divine Piecer!!!" Beowulf shouted as he threw his spear at the man. The huge beam formed and the man caught it and was trying to push it back but is struggling.

"My son go to the forest and keep on running until he finds you. I may have to use this forbidden skill. Both of you remember don't let the madness within take over... Remember to trust each other...And Vonis always remember you're not alone." Beowulf stated as he turned to smile. Beowulf gave them both a hug and helped them to start heading to the forest. Then turn around at the man and lift his hand in the air and pull out a huge axe out of thin air. Parthenos was shocked and Ostrythe was shocked as well and Beowulf stood there gathering energy.

"Twin's redemption." Beowulf said as he looked next to him and a clone of Savage appeared as a Dark humanoid aura.

"Well my friend Thanks for linking with me. Let's do this." Beowulf said to the Savage clone. The Savage clone did the thing as Beowulf. The man is still struggling with the beam. He looks up at them and is shocked at what is about to happen.

"Dark Judgement!!" Beowulf shouted and smashed the ground which caused a huge energy wave alongside the Savage clone. The impact was big and it caused the world to shake aggressively. Then Ostrythe woke up on the ground next to the white wolf. Parthenos helped him up. Then the man in the cloak was sitting by the cave playing the harp.

"So now that the past has revealed unto your history, what is the path you're going to take?" The man in the cloak said to Ostrythe. 

"I know who you are...You're the man that my father said that you will come for us in the forest that day…" Ostrythe said to the man. The man removed his hood and reveal himself to Ostrythe and Ostrythe eyes began to fill with awe as he gaze upon him and said 

Apollo....
