Chapter 1 - Prologue: End of the War

Blades lay waste to the ground, covered in dry blood and rust. Bodies coated the ground of the bare battlefield, all scarred and mutilated. Through corpses you can hear the giant thuds and quakes of battle still going on despite the scene of death and dread.

THUD...THUD...THUD, the fight can be heard raging on as if no end was in sight for them. 2 things can be seen clashing together amping up over and over after each clash that commenced. 1 of the figures a shadow humanoid creature began to speak.

The Shadow: Well hot spot, seems our battle is time to conclude now.

The flame figure then spoke with an exhaustion, one that came from his soul. An anger that you could tell had emptiness and a broken heart.

The Flame: Osiris...Your head shall be mine and I'll take great satisfaction in claiming it for our..for my people.

Osiris: Now Zariel, I know that's not you trying to end our grand finale so early are we?

Zariel: I...HATE...YOU!!!

Zariel the warrior's flames got hotter and hotter the more energy he drew from.

Osiris's shadows grew more and more intense a grim happiness from his eerie smile. They clashed heads, and locked hands and fingers both men in an aggressive dead lock a dead even stalemate.

Osiris: We've had enough fun haven't we? Our dance can go on not much longer ya know?

Zariel: Define fun? Would you call our dead comrades..our friends, fun? Avaria, Michael, Castiel, Tevarice? Were seeing there dead bodies and stabbing them? Cutting them down...was that fun?

Osiris hesitated but then got angered slowly the shadows becoming a bit erratic?

Osiris: How dare you..Don't you dare taunt me with them..we knew..I knew the choices of our afterlife.

A solem feeling was held over their hearts, remembering, hurting, yearning, and painfully grieving their choices and where they stood stand clear.

Zariel: Was Zanalia part of it to..?

Osiris: IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!!

Zariel: Was Liana as well..also a mistake brother..?

Osiris: DON'T YOU DARE BRING HER UP TO ME!! HOW DARE YOU..NO ONE CHERISHED, CARED, NOR LOVED HER AS MUCH AS I DID SHE MEANT MORE THEN MY WINGS, MY LIFE, MY HEART SHE WAS ALL OF IT DAM YOU ALL OF IT!!

Zariel: I did..I cherished her too, I cherished her our friends, our home, our friends and families, my rank, our lives before this..I cherished it all..now is gone..but I cherished it all..and I fight for it now with my tainted symbol!

He stood firmly, he was ready and so was Osiris they're energies clashed and intesified creating chaos ensuit.

Zariel lunges and jumps at Osiris striking him with a left hook, Osiris tanks and launches a destructive right uppercut. Zariel grabs him and lands an elbow right in his left eye. Osiris reels back but kicks Zariel in his knee slowing him down, but Zariel grabs his leg and rips a left hook into his ribs.

Osiris remarks "your fists are still like iron eh? Just like when we were younger." Zariel laughs and says he's still the same as always a flat breaded style.

They clash heads, Osiris kicking him the side but Zariel grabs his leg pulls his him closer and headbutts him trying to go for an choke. Osiris stops him and matches with a return headbutt sending them both back.

Osiris mocked how crude Zariel fights "a caveman using his club" he chuckled. "Archangels are supposed to be more elegant..yet you know very human like." Zariel scoffed and said

"I'm sorry to say traitors fight to dumb to say anything you might as well hold your opinion since I'm beating you."

The both of them began gathering energy raising and amping up their attacks for their next and final move to take the other out now. The skulls began to be affected on the battlefield some sank in the abyss others others burning into ash and dust of nothingness. The area soon nothing but a baron wasteland for all of none to behold.

The scorching flames began to radiate heat off his body expanding the more his anger rages and grows. The feelings of vengeance and justice intensifies, Hotter...Hotter...Hotter... it raged the flames continued for and began to change colors with its heats intensity. His lust for wrath justice and vengeance grew more and more not being satiated till Osiris is dead.

Osiris's abyss covered everything it could, growing eager and unrampant as his rage and excitement grew more. It ate and ate and ate swallowing all it could of the area around him, swords, bones, limbs and organs, all you thought and imagine gone in the blinks of an eye as if it were livestock to a carnivorous beast. Nothing more crowded the area but the cold shadowed but Osiris's cold jaded shadows and Zariels angry flames of abhorrence and self destruction.

Osiris: Seems that fire of yours never stops brimming that bright light huh old friend?

Zariel: They'll never stop briminh it carries the hopes, wills and ambitions of our friends, our Loved ones, our dreams ambitions and past...our Lord blessed me with this light and flame..I wont let none extinguish it..NONE SHALL PUT IT OUT!

Not even your false and farce cravings of power.

Osiris: Farce?! You think this power a farce as I wasted dimensions and countless soldiers and terrain?? Our best soldiers done as if cups of water?! The ability to warp reality and our dimensions as if it were a childs whim is that A DAM FARCE?!

Zariel: A fake power with no standing no real effect and a weak mind is all just a broken promise, empty threat and a farce.

The flames grew hot so much the land itself almost became puddles, they changed color no longer blue but pure hot white yet grew more rampant. Osiris's shadows grew bigger and bigger coating and raging ready to unleash all with bloodlust and rage.

Zariel: This same farce who threw Liana to a broken soul and a mess, who used our comrades to become playthings to be manipulated?! Mutilated ded warriors you made them and for that...YOUR DEBTS MUST BE PAID YOUR JUDGEMENT IS READY TO BE PASSED YOUR SINS HAVE MADE YOU GUILTY.

Their powers gather and swirled and spiraled again colliding violently the attacks were summoned.

Osiris: MOONLIGHT REQUIEM!

His white flames gathered and raged collecting together they forged it was time for judgement to be casted.

Zariel: PENNANCE EMPEROR!

The attacks clash and engulf the dimension destroying it all and the real with it.
