Have you ever thought of how you would react if you die and meet someone who is dead as well, somewhere in the middle of clouds?
Well, I never thought about it, which made things difficult for me. I resisted the urge to scream the life (If I even had a life now) out of me. Finding two dead people was too much for me to understand all of a sudden.
I saw my father who wasn't actually my father standing in front of me with a smile. Rock Flames, father of Amanda stood beside him. "You would be freaked out right now. But we can explain." Rock Flames said, judging by my expression.
"This place is the Garden Of Death. You are dead, son." My father said. Was I really? I did feel pain in the end of the battle and wake up in the middle of clouds but did I really die? It didn't feel like I had. "So what's this place? Heaven?" I guessed. Rock Flames answered, "Sort of. Look Blaze, there is this place of clouds which symbolizes peace and harmony. It is called Celeste. Then there is the other place where everything is dark and scary. That is Erebos. After death, God Ison himself chooses according to your deeds whether you belong to Celeste or Erebos."
"The better deeds you do, larger is the chance to be in Celeste." I said, understanding what all this meant. Dad nodded. "That is why you keep teleporting to both the realms. God Ison will soon choose your realm." He said.
"But before reaching any realm, you first have this, the Garden Of Death. This is the place in your spiritual world, almost like an illusion. It is the process of going into the realm chosen for you. In about ten minutes, you will arrive at your chosen realm, Celeste or Erebos." Rock Flames declared.
Even the name Erebos made me want Celeste more. I knew Celeste was like heaven and needed to be there. But after judging the number of times I have failed in my mission, Erebos was likely my place. I lost to Raptor, now twice. That led me to think if Oliver was in his Garden Of Death. I hoped he was still alive.
"Remember your dream about Raptor and the army of giants?" Dad asked. I immediately went back to the dream. It was really a nightmare. "Well, we had sent you the dream. After death, we cannot enter your dreams ourselves but can show you what we see until we are still spirits. Once we enter the real world in another birth, we will lose this ability."
"Now listen, Blaze. After death, you meet your dear ones who are dead in the Garden Of Death. We need to talk to you about your past." My father said. I was thinking finally!!! I was having a headache not knowing who my father was and what my past was. Not that it mattered after death.
"We don't have much time before you'll be chosen for a realm. So listen carefully." Rock Flames said. Then he announced the truth I had been waiting for. "Blaze, Albert isn't your father. Your true father is..... King Jalaar."
