Chapter 22 - The Power of One Self Part 3

"This isn't good all. So how is it that I can win this."

The spider moved closer and then there were four more spiders coming out of the caves and then from afar, there were steps that were coming out of the cave behind the one that is in front of Peter and then behind the shadows, Peter noticed that there was something dangerous coming.

"Why do people from the surface always do this?"

"Who are you?"

"My name is Willow."

"Earth steel: Six leg kick strike."

The ground had divided into six air slashes and it cut the spiders in half right in between the belly and then one of the slashes went past Peter left shoulder and hit the spider behind him and Peter was shocked by the attack and Peter thought that this woman might be stronger then Annie in combat skills.

"Thank you. Miss."

"Please call me Willow. Like I said before, were you even listening to what I was telling you. You do know that it is dangerous to come down here by yourself. There are creatures all over this place."

"I didn't know."

"Yeah, of course, you didn't know but what bring you down here anyway."

"I was looking for someone. I should probably not tell her about what I really after."

"Looking for someone. Mmmhhh. You're lying."

"What lying?"

"Stop it. People don't come down here at least they trying to get to someone that did something bad to them."

"Dammit."

"You just said dammit in your head didn't you."

"She can read minds."

"You probably say that I can read minds. Am I right?"

"What the heck?"

"It not very common that people don't know I will be through this same situation very often."

"Who the heck are you?"

"I already told you my name."

"Yeah, Willow but you just kill those spiders like they were nothing."

"Well, they are the weakest creatures in this cave right now."

"Oh okay. The weakest!!!"

"You just thought they were weak and they are weak but to a normal person they can be quite tricky to deal with."

"I see. So how do we get out of here?"

"Come on. I show you the way to the Underground Temple."

"Underground temple?"

"Yeah, it's the place underneath the ground it's in the name."

"Okay."

Peter follows Willow to the Underground Temple and then Peter asked her, "What is the Underground Temple?"

"Well, if you want to know about it. It is larger than you think. It covers the whole underground tunnels underneath this world surface and there are so many secrets that are down here that I don't even know what else about this world we don't know about and I think the only person that knows is the man up there in the sky."

"You mean the Black Raven."

"So you heard about it."

"Well yeah, I didn't know what it was but I get a feeling that it is something bad that isn't supposed to be part of this world."

"You're right about one thing. It's not part of this world."

"So what is it?"

"I don't know but it came out of nowhere and I just study it for my research."

"Study it? Did you find a weakness to it?"

"If I did. Do you think I wouldn't stay down here?"

"Oh yeah. You right. I don't know anything about this world. I just figure it out by what Elizabeth was telling me about this world."

"Do you know what will happen if the person that up there will do if he finds what he is looking for?"

"I don't know."

"He probably dangerous this place probably."

"But why will he do that?"

"How should I know that? Only time will tell."

"What? How can someone come up with such evil deeds?"

Peter cover his eyes and he had seen that it was a bright light and on the other side there it was the Underground Temple and he was seeing that there was the waterfall and the underground seem horrible down there than on the surface.

"Is this the Underground Temple?" Peter ask

"No, it not. It's just the entrance to it."

"The entrance?"

"You seem like you were really happy with this view."

"Yeah, I was."

"Yeah, but it's a lot different from what you looking at right now."

"Damn I wonder what this place looks like."

Peter and the others travel through the underground and they were walking under the waterfall and they were climbing up toward the top of the waterfall and the water was flowing down fast and Peter was amazed that there was such a beautiful view.

"So is it over this waterfall?"

"Stop asking questions and hurry it up."

Peter was behind Willow by a few feet and he look down and he was scared just a little bit but he must find what really happen to Yolanda's mother and who did it? Peter hurry up and continue to climb up.

Willow had already made it to the top and she told Peter to hurry up Peter was climbing the fastest as he can and he had made it to the top and Peter was breathing heavily and he was making sure that he keep his strength and controlled his breathing but Peter was having trouble controlling his breathing and Willow came over and touch his body around the chest.

"What did you do?"

"Why are you looking so confused?"

"It's because I have never seen anybody do what you just did."

"It very easy really for humans to do this. I have seen it before use by samurai."

"Samurai?"

"Sorry but that's something I can't say about."

"I see. Had she been to another world like Annie and Yo?"

"Come on get up we're almost there."

Peter got up and he felt lighter and he walks forward and he kept close to Willow and they made it there in no time and Peter sees that the Underground Temple wasn't anything different but it was more natural environment.

"This place is the Underground Temple."

"Yeah, it might look more natural but it does have its good things. Clean water and it was better than what we had back in the last place we stay in and then there aren't many people here and it's mostly wildlife here."

"I wonder if this is the place where those guys head to."

"Come on. I show what going on here."

They went to the inner garden of the place and Willow told Peter that it is ten cities underground from Lord's surface.

"Why are there ten cities?" Peter ask

"I don't know why I still figuring that out."

"Again, what are you?"

"I am a collector."

"A collector?"

"Yeah and a bad one at that much and why do you call it Underground Temple. It Temples Underground." A man said

"How are you doing? My name is Rager, one of the people that live here in the small town of Ford."

"Yeah, nice to meet you, and my name is Peter."

"Wait Peter," Rager said

"Yeah."

"So you the one that was foretold by us from him."

"No, he not if he was then I would have scented the power from him that he was talking about."

"Wait, but who is he?"

"The person that they all call Dying Light," Willow said

"Dying Light?" Peter said

"Yeah, you probably heard the story from the surface."

"I did from one of the people that living on the surface."

"So do you know what happens at night?"

"If you asking if there are dangers on the surface then yes. It is very common for people on the surface to suffer and die if you hoping to change that then you will have to have the power to help everyone and I can't sense no power from you."

"So you're saying that I just sit by and watch by when people are dying."

"Don't use that face like you really something special. If you are a so-called disciple then you are clueless about this world."

"How do you about this world?"

"Like I said I am a world collector."

"A world collector, who is that or what is that?"

"If you ask yourself who I am in your head. I let you know then. I am someone that holds the knowledge that is far from your own understanding."

"I see." Peter was holding his head down and he was just putting false hope on Yolanda and how will he never face her again if she was still alive on the surface Peter bow his head and he had to run back up to the surface to go check on Yolanda.

"Wait Peter," Rager said

"Let him go. He won't die alone Dying Light is out there."

"But Willow, you know DL(Dying Light) doesn't go around saving people but he does try to protect them."

"I know that Rager but if we don't see what that kid can do then we will never know I didn't know that I was traveling with one of the people that suppose to save this world but how do we make sure that he doesn't get himself kill."

"Some part of that is right but that kid seems like he doesn't have the power to save himself but he will protect those with his own life but that can also be a horrible idea."

"I see. So you want to believe in him but you also have doubts in his ability as a warrior."

"Yeah, you can read my mind can you?"

"No, it's just that I saw it before."

"I see."

Peter was running and he was so worried about having to find Yolanda and Elizabeth dead and he was feeling dizzy about going back alone and he was losing his way of having to see their dead bodies and fail that he proclaim to have hope.

"What am I going to do? Am I going to make it?"

Peter ran off the waterfall and he forgot that he had to climb down it but he was so worried about what was going on and he drop down to the water and he had fallen down to the depth of the water and he felt the coldness of the water as he was dropping down the water and he had fallen deeper and deeper as he was regretting his decision.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? Who is this?"

In a dark void and feeling cold his body had felt numb and his body went deeper and deeper into the void and he saw that there were chains and memories that was black and white

and he was wondering what was going on and what he was seeing.

"What is this?"

"The world had been corrupted and filled with false leaders. Long ago there was a secret that Hatai was born upon and then there is knowledge of the King's Tower."

"Who are you? And what is a King's Tower?"

"The King's Tower is a place that was built in the middle of space by the mad Titan of Mythology."

"What? Mythology?"

"Yeah, throughout history there had been gods and people that are blessed by the stars and goddesses, and some are called monsters, and as the one true God above all of the other gods is Jesus Christ himself."

"So what are you telling me?"

"I am saying that there aren't any good gods from their past but Jesus Christ is different and holds more value but he doesn't connect with the outside world of heaven and he loves everyone and also the gods but when it good then it also bad."

"And what is that?"

"It is Underworld and nether world."

"The Underworld and the nether world?"

"Yes, they are opposite of Heaven and Vanir feel with evil souls but those who are in between the two go to another place."

"What place is that?"

"Third Keys."

"Third Keys?"

"Yes, it has many floors and the world and at the top is the Kingdom of the Titan Gods."

"So what that got to do with me?"

"It doesn't but it make you think of the next generation after you to go and try it. There are all types of people that exist in the King's Tower and if you can survive the Tower then you can survive Third Keys but that isn't your job and I telling you this all because it future events but for that to happen you need to grow stronger."

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"You don't do nothing but to feel what's inside you already."

He was seeing the light and he was escaping the dark void and Peter ask the being its name and it gave it a name and it was Brigitte.

"Brigitte, how can I see you again?"

"You will again soon. All you have to do is called out Heaven Art and the rest will come out too."

"Wait!!"

Peter scream and he had made it out of there and he open his eyes and saw that he is on the surface outside of the cave and nobody else was around and it was dark and he got up in a rush and he ran back to where Elizabeth and Yolanda were at.

Back at Yolanda's house.

"Where is Peter at?" Yolanda ask

"I don't know but he needs to hurry back." Elizabeth was keeping Yolanda's mother from dying.

"I hope he alright."

"I hope so too."

"Tell me something Elizabeth. What is Peter to you?"

"Well, I can't really explain but I do know that he could be the one that can save this

world."

"I see. So you look at him as a symbol of hope."

"I wouldn't say that."

"What are you saying?"

"I saying that there are people that have hard lives coming up and you is suffering."

"She is scared me."

Elizabeth had made Yolanda's mother good and healthy and she arose from the ground and then she had grabbed her Yolanda and Yolanda thought she was giving her a hug and then she choke her neck and she was having trouble breathing and she said, "Why? Why Mother?"

"You sure had been a nice little girl."

Elizabeth had a smile on her face and she was changing her body form and she was changing into something that is orc-like and also human-like and demonic-like appearance and she was giving off vibes of a demon from the underworld.

"What? Wh...What are...You doing?" Yolanda was choking and she was losing her vision and started to see a bright light and she was smiling and she hold her arm out and Elizabeth touched it with her staff and Yolanda's arm disappear and turn to dust and she was screaming and smiling but nobody came.

"Somebody help me. Somebody. Anybody help me." Yolanda was crying and she was trying to reach Peter's hope and she kept smiling and she was in pain and agony. Seeing the smile of Elizabeth and her mother killing her and she was holding strong.

Back to where Peter is at.

"I had to make it."

"AAAGGGHHH!!!"

"That voice. It got to be Yolanda. Don't worry Yolanda I going to save you not leave anyone else behind. Never again. I must bring out my own power from within and use it to save

those who can't save themselves. I must be the symbol that will bring hope to everyone in this generation. I must carve the path to heroes to save the world from evil."

Peter's hands were lighting up and they had a symbol shaping as a number ten.
