The moonlight reflected, off its armor. In its hand, its silver spear stretched out far out, bending to different sizes. Thunderstruck all around them, lights, flashing all around them. The knight stepped down from the tree, walking ever slowly to the group. the knight didn't look familiar to the group. It seemed new to them, unnatural even. Everyone raised their weapons at it from the ground. The knight walked through the mud at them. Two red dots appeared from inside of the suit, as if eyes peering at them.
it looked at them in confusion.
"who art thou?" it spoke to them.
" What should you care, Who are you?" Ricky yelled back at it.
The knight looked at his weapon.
"our destiny is your demise" It raised up its speak at them aiming the tip straight into James' heart.
"Something isn't right," James thought, "This doesn't feel right".
Suddenly out of what seemed thin air, an arrow shot at the ground, by the knight's foot. The knight turned round in the direction of the arrow. A flurry of arrows appeared out of's foot. The knight turned round in the direction of the armor. Arrows raised down in all directions around him, encapsulating him in arrows.
Suddenly a tall, masked woman jumped out of the trees with a bow and arrows in her hand.
"Beau!" Janet screamed out in relief. She pulled back on the bow and let go, sending the arrow straight through the gaps of its armor. The arrow phased through it as if it never had hit anything.
"what mon?" Beau thought to herself in confusion.
The knight dropped its spear on the ground, and at light quick speeds it. The Knight was way too fast for the whole group to catch a glimpse of it, just appeared behind Beau. before she could even reach the ground, The knights had vanished and reappeared behind her. The knight brought its fist up to its face aiming it right behind her back. Beau was too slow, only able to catch a glimpse of its helmet.
'Vanish" The Knight spoke out.
A hole appeared straight through Beau's ribcage. The knight's hand ripped through its ribcage, ripping out Her spine with its bare hands.
"Disappointing" The knight threw Beau to the ground in front of him, Her body flew through the air, landing in front of them in the mud. Janet ran to Beau, kneeling at her body, but she stopped, she froze still at the sight of blood.
Blood came off Beau's mask as her tears dripped out of the mask, Beau couldn't move, she stayed paralyzed on the ground. Her body stopped breathing, and the only noise she ever made was her gasping for air. She lay still in front of the group, as a sign of what will happen to them that very night.
The group stood still, speechless, not wanting to find out what had happened to them. But suddenly out of the group, Marty ran up to the knight, spraying his flame thrower behind him boosting him forward.
"MARTY NO!" Ricky yelled out to Marty as he ran to the night.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER, YOU KILLED MY FRIENDS, I'LL KILL YOU FUCKER!!!" Marty pointed the flame thrower at the knight. surrounding him in flames, and burning where he stands.
The flames stretched to the sky, illuminating the dark gloomy sky. The knight walked through the flames up to Marty. He walked up to him, staring him in his eyes, towering over him. Marty looked up at his red eyes and peered down to Beau's spine on the ground. Realization hit him. He was making it out. Marty loossed his stance at him, He tried walking backwards but the mud had gotten ahold of him, keeping him still.
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" He yelled out to the knight pushing the flames more reaching up to the clouds, high above in the skies.
"Lord Mortis…." Janet whispered to herself
" Is real"
"One" the knight spoke to Marty.
Marty's left knee exploded and twisted apart, he fell down the the ground screaming in pain, but he persisted, only growing the flames even more.
"MY BROTHER!" Ricky cried.
He ran towards the knight, as he threw both of his daggers.
"NO STOP!" James and Janet ran behind him, taking out his weapons to fight.
The first dagger approached the knight, As the dagger flew straight for his chest, he dodged it, moving out of the way in the last second hitting a tree.
"Two" Marty's right knee exploded and twisted, making him kneel in front of him.
Marty had no feelings anymore, His life flashed in front of him, all he had achieved, all that had happened, everything few by him. He stayed quiet, not even feeling the pain anymore. The knight grabbed him by the head just as the second dagger was about to impact.
"Three"
The knight raised Marty to the front of the second dagger. Ricky saw this and tried pulling back the chain, but it was too late. the dagger pierced Marty's head, digging deeply into the back of his head. Brain and skull parts shot out of the back of his head by the impact. Blood ran out his nostrils, his eyes turned blood red. His arms let go of the flame thrower, the flames retracted back, leaving a stack of smoke stretching miles upward to the sky. Marty went limp, falling to the ground, without even being able to cry.
James grabbed Janet by the hand, stopping her. He knew what was about to happen and from behind the knight, he could see him, the man from the castle staring back at him, expressionless, telling him one thing. "This is the end".
" We're not ready for him…" was all he could think of.
Janet's hands were shaking uncontrollably in fear.
"KILLER!" She screamed to him.
Ricky distracted the knight with the daggers and managed to get up close to him in a boxing stance. He threw a punch at the knight with all his might. The metal of the suit made the punch slip off the helmet. The knight let go of Marty's body and dashed straight for his spear.
"Now!" James thought.
He took out his swords from their sheaths and ran directly to the spear, meeting up with the knight. James lunged himself forward, aiming his attack at the spear. but the knight was too fast, reaching the spear before him. James' sword fell on top of him, digging into its armor.
"FULGUR" Janet screamed, her hands pointing to the knight. Her talisman around her neck began to glow, and a lightning bolt fell from the sky hitting both James and the knight.
Janet hoped this had to be its weakness, and James knew that He would have to sacrifice himself for it. The shock was sent all through James' body paralyzing him, he fell to the ground the bolts in his body escaped out of his foot, blowing it up instantly, and his bone and flesh were exposed.
The knight fell backward to the ground, his armor shriveled up and burnt all around him, falling off. what to the ground, his armor shriveled up and burnt all around him.
"YOU IDIOTS!"The knight spoke to the trees, Thousands of imps emerged from the trees, their pointy red skin sticking out with the lightning.
"Get them!" He pointed at Janet and Ricky.
"You stupid wretched spawn!" The knight yelled at the imps.
Hundreds of imps swarmed Janet and Ricky, ignoring James' dying body on the ground. The imps Grabbed their skin and ripped it apart to shreds. Eating the flesh and spearing blood everywhere. Janet and Ricy screamed out for help, attempting to kill them, but it was for no use. But all James could think of his about Jon and Janet.
The man appeared in front of him again, they looked at each other sharing a long stare, before the man vanished to the trees. The knight walked up to James' head and kneeled to him. His shadow covered him with only his red eyes peering back at James'.
"What did it cost you?"
Finally, those words laid him to rest. As James closed his eyes and took one last breath. His body went limp and all he could see was darkness. The screams of his friends and Wife disappeared.
He had just experienced death.
Light broke into his eyes, Lightnes. He woke up naked, in a throne room of light. Four thrones sat in front of him, all of them empty. They were in a massive cathedral, with golden statues of heroes, golden walls, and clouds for floors. But infront of him was a single table, 3 chairs, 2 of them had been occupied. And one for him.
As he got up from the cloud he was in, pictures of his life flashed up beside him. Pictures of his family, his marriage, his kid, and his friends all surrounding them. He walked forward and took a seat at the table Infront of him were two human-like figures at the end of the table. the one on the right had a brass mask with the face of the sun on it. And rays shooting out all around it. And on the left was a human-like figure with a silver mask of a full moon, with yet another face.
"we have," the one on the right said.
"expected you James," the one on the left said.
The figures seem James" the one on the left said.
"We know everything," said the right figure
" About you," said the one on the left.
"you have been chosen"
"to be the…" said the one on the left.
" anti-Christ of this world," said the Figure on the left.
"your destiny is already decided"
"You will bring the end to this world"
