Chapter 45 - A Dream

"I guess you don't see the true me to deny my help I truly feel bad for what I have done." She then hands me a bead that is filled with so much knowledge that my head hurts even glancing at it. She smiles and says "My heart is yours just like that mortal who took torture beyond measure simply to be beside you. She even met your bloodline Originator who was the only reason you could meet me." I confusedly look upon her face dumbfounded if she actually gave me her heart or not when the world fades and I hear " I have no clue what world you will upend next but he's watching so I can't tell you much without him getting annoyed."

Then my real life began to flash in front of my eyes. I saw a dragon in the forest near my home and ran to them seeing their injured wings, so I brought out our medical supplies to the dragon and patched up its wings when it looked at me and said, "Why don't you fear me?" I simply smiled and looked upon its true form of chaos it hiding itself afraid of being recognized as an eldritch . I then said "Any and all life are precious at least that's what my parents told me. They say if you look into a person's eyes you can see their soul but all I see are shadows of despair."

--------

I remember a planet I had never been to a planet full of new species I had never seen before but were named the same as my home. The creatures we had to deal with at my home were known as myths things that had never existed. I then felt a connection to something beyond me and in it I say myself as I am now and heard a voice say, "Thanks for allowing me to see your memories please kill my soul I suffer here please kill us all."

Another voice chimed in images flowing through my mind the voice saying "You have joined us within hell how nice can you burn my soul away."

"DO YOU SEE ME. SEE ME. LOOK UPON ME. BURN MY EYES WITH YOUR SIGHT LET THE DEVIL BURN US ALL."

then the images stopped as what appeared to be a skeleton covered in holy armor appeared at my side and put their hand on my shoulder not saying a word their detailed engraved armor was elegant and seemed holy unlike what an undead should be. The Undead knight led me to a priest looking skeleton the cloth covering their head embroided with holy symbols symbolizing death and life being entwinned with each figure smiling showing new life and order. The cloak was long and white their skeletal face barely visible which was engraved with all these holy symbols. a candle was between their hands lighting the way the flame never wavering.

We were approaching a giant gate with a skeletal figure a part of it looking upon me holding 2 candelabra in its hands that were embed into the gate that had split them in half. they had pupils made of gold looking down upon me from their height. They had gold embedded upon the gate with a small medallion right at their sternum in intricate patterns that constantly shifted a blue light coming from the ground lighting their features. They said in a soft melodious voice "He is not dead let him go back make sure he is not consumed or corrupted by the Fallen who have not seen the light of the underworld.

A bright light then shown above them showing 'Judgement A soul recovering from Trauma' Then the gigantic skeleton embedded in the gate smiled at me and said " I am Judge Death the Watcher of the gate I am impervious the indestructible god who will always be here reading the lives of the mortals never losing the entertainment I gain from watching their lives. BE free from your sin and we may meet again youngling who may become Immortal your fate uncertain your death Certain I hope it is not so." A crown then descended upon their skull, but it was made of thorns putting inward which begun to drill through their skull making horrendous screeching noises.

A maze then appeared in front of me and a figure in front of me said "I am Death The guide. I shall bring you to your home where you should lie and rest your weary head. May you recover." I looked up seeing the walls extending beyond my enhanced sight and the red sky somewhat ominous when the figure in a red cloak calling themselves Death sat beside me and light a warm fire and began to cook using their seven fingers to grab the pot. They pulled out from their robes a blue lit latern that was releasing a blue glow they smile showing a disfigured face like it was melted several times and then repaired slightly off after a hundred times.

"What happened to you?" They responded with " I was brought here after ascending broken into three pieces and suffered the 507,892,357 Trials to become the God of All Death and Souls becoming a permanent edition to every world taking care of those who do not believe I take them in and judge them neutrally and allow them to reincarnate if they so wish with no memories sometimes I allow them to escape using this form but it causes me to suffer and get more disfigured causing more to not trust me. sorry for boring you Devak."
