                Part 12 of, The seven sins and virtues.......

    �You lose Ryan. I am here and waiting. I have seen the future and
now I know what your father meant. I know why he did it all. I have
talked to the future and it responded to me. The future says, you die.�
    I looked over at Insanity, he was laughing now. This man laughed all
the time, it was very annoying. I thought I was rid of him, but he
always came back. I wonder what he want�s this time? �The future is not
written yet. I will not die. You will.�
    Insanity stopped laughing and shook his head. �You still don�t get
it do you? You are a pawn. A pawn of the angel�s, mankind, Satan,
sanity, your friends, everyone! You are just a tool for power. They use
you and then throw you away! Join me, become one with me! If you do, all
your enemies will become dust under your feet!�
    I got really angry at this man. He had been bothering me for almost
one hundred years, never relenting. If defeated, hiding in the shadows.
I would never give into the darkness! Never again! I would bring justice
to all! I will!
    I then cast away the anger and drew upon my hope and despair. I then
tossed it at Insanity in a beam of energy. A massive beam which could
level a building.
    As it hit there was an explosion of purple energy where Insanity
stood. Then only smoke once the energy dissipated. But once the smoke
cleared, Insanity was still there. With the sadistic grin on his face he
looked at me, mocking me.
    I then tossed blast after blast after blast, but to no avail. The
man was invincible. I couldn�t defeat him.
    Insanity began to walk towards me. �You�ve weakened. Your skills are
growing dull. You can�t channel as much emotions as you could before,
since you now have Sarah. You nothing compared to what you were before.
But if we join, I can give you power. Power like you never imagined.
Give into your evil emotions. Revoke the spirit of unresting love within
you. It is weakening. And as it weakens, so do you. The darkness is
stronger then the light, you have chosen the wring side.�
    I shook my head. �Never! I will never be so desperate as to give up
my soul. To give into the darkness!�
    �We�ll see. I�ll be waiting, see ya soon!�
    Then I awoke from my dream........
    I got up out of bed and went to the throne room, it was almost time
for the daily report. Leaving my wife Sarah behind I headed out to the
throne room. Going through hall after hall. Turning corner after corner.
Until I reached the throne room.
    The room was not all that large for a throne room. The walls were
painted white with various paintings hanging from them. The floor
creaked as you walked on it, a sign of age. The room was empty except
for a long red carpet going from the main entrance of the throneroom to
the throne. The throne was just a large copper chair, elevated on a
marble platform. The marble had man cracks in it though and was very
dirty, as was the throne. The copper chair was dirty as you can imagine
and was starting to turn green in places. But on the plus sign there
were numerous carvings on the throne, of very high quality. It was a
very pitiful excuse for a throne room.
    I walked from the left side of the throne room to my throne. The
sound of my shoe hitting of the floor echoed through the whole room, and
maybe it could be heard outside the room.
    Every step I took made me think of what insanity said, made me think
of my downfall. But maybe that�s his plan. To distract me. To throw me
into self-doubt. Then when an important moment came I would not be ready
and it would sweep me away like a storm. And that one thing could cause
my death.
    I had no doubt he knew some of the future as I did. He was me and
therefore he saw visions of the future as well. But maybe he saw
different portions of the future then me. Maybe he saw something farther
in the future then anything I had ever seen. He couldn�t possible know
when any of the events he saw would happen. Could he?
    But these thoughts were controversial. What was most important now
was winning the war. If I lost the war, then I lost everything. Sarah,
my kids, the world, my friends, myself,
everything. Everything was too great a price for worrying. A price that
I was not willing to pay.
    But it still gnawed at me. The more I tried to ignore it, the bigger
it got. Like a beast who feeds on doubt and worry. Such a creature would
find me a delicious meal, I was full of both. Doubt and worry seemed to
replace hope and despair lately. I can�t say it�s a bad change, but
there are disadvantages to worrying to much.
    As I sat in the throne I felt how big it was, how roomy. But it was
not comfortable and smelled a little bad, I had to get this cleaned. But
that was at the bottom of my list of things to do. Even below wondering
about dreams and visions.
    Then Sarah entered through the left door, she seemed tired. My
beautiful wife was dressed in a long white flowing dress. It was adorned
with assorted designs and shapes like flowers and birds. The dress had
no sleeves which showed more of her beautifully smooth, white skin. Her
long black hair was now done in a ponytail which looked more dazzling.
Her brown
eyes sparkled like the sea and carried a look of hope upon it. She was
amazingly gorgeous and I was lucky to have her. I didn�t deserve her.
    I looked over at her and smiled. �Hello! Good morning Sarah! Did you
sleep well?� I was acting all happy and bubbly. But I felt dreary and
depressed, like usual. That�s what war does.
    Sarah shook her head and tapped her left foot on the floor. �Don�t
lie to me like that. The wars on your mind again, isn�t it? Just relax.
Before you know it, there will be a big celebration in your honor!� She
was lying as well. She hated this war and everything happening in it.
but some things could not be resolved with words. The only thing that
let�s evil reign is the inaction of good men.
    She knew that I was lying. Does she know me so well? Probably. But
she called me a hero. I�m no hero! I�m a bastard who ended up being
thrown into a crazy situation. I would love just being in collage again,
everything was so easy. Now I have to send men to their death. I�m
staining my hand with innocent blood, indirectly. Directly or indirectly
there is no difference, I am just as guilty. When I die, I�ll be going
straight to the eternal abyss. Never ending nothing. To be left alone
and suffer under ones own thoughts. I am a man guilty of many crimes. Am
I any better then my enemy? To win a battle does one have to sacrifice
his morales. During war
the law falls silent. Like I said before, everything comes with a price.
�I�m no hero Sarah. I�m just a regular guy.� Now there�s another lie.
I'm no normal guy.
    Sarah sighed. �Okay. Now that is a very big lie. You are melded with
the spirit of unresting love. You are Satan�s sun and a demon. You are
leading a war against the heavens and can use some sort of power. Is
this normal?� I could hear the sarcasm in her voice.
    �Okay. So, I�m very odd bastard. But we shouldn�t be fighting.� My
first honest comment today. But Sarah only nodded. She then moved up to
sit beside me.
    I waited a few seconds before Perdine entered. Her clothes were the
same as the ones she wore yesterday, but they were only put on today.
    As Perdine walked up to me she bowed. I waved my hand in
acknowledgment, I was not much of a formal person.
    Perdine looked very depressed as though he was the messenger of
death. Was he? �I bring some very bad news. Last night your children
were killed in a raid by some human troops that came here before the
alliance.� He paused and then continued. �Also three hundred people
died. Your children, soldiers, men, women and children were all killed
in an explosion caused by the enemy soldiers.�
    I felt my blood run cold and by anger heat it up again. I felt the
power of revenge rise within me. That�s what I wanted, revenge. I wanted
them dead! I wanted my kid�s souls to rest knowing that those cowards
who killed civilians would be killed themselves. Revenge would come
soon. Pure, relentless revenge.
    I stormed out of the room as fast as I could. My anger stopped me
from saying anything. Anger was all I thought all I felt, besides
revenge. I would kill them myself! I would end the war quickly. I would
kill women and children on their side. An eye for an eye and a tooth for
a tooth. They would pay.
    Sarah called out to me. �No wait....� But Perdine stopped her by
saying. �He needs some time alone.�
    Right before I left the room I heard Perdine ask, �What about
scourge?�
    I hastily replied. �Use it. Show them out power! Let them feel the
power of revenge. Let them die!� I knew Sarah was getting worried about
me, I was worried about myself. I felt myself losing touch with my body.
I felt like control was just slipping away. Control of both body and
mind.
    As I went to my room, I could hear insanity all the way. �Only a
little while longer. Only a little while.�
    Then when I entered my room he was there again, that man. The one in
the shadows. �Beware Ryan. The darkness is about to consume you. Stand
strong and don�t run from the light, embrace it. Destroy the darkness or
it will destroy you!� Then the voice drifted off, along with any sign he
was here.
    Everything was so screwed up. Insanity being back. My children being
killed. The new alliance between the angels and humans. The terrible
visions and the man in the shadows. What did it all mean? Either way, I
had to be alone now. Alone with my self pity.
