�I�m telling you that we need to work together for this, if we don�t, I die. And if I die, you
die. We have to defeat Pandora now, or everyone will die. Let�s bicker later.� I said to Insanity.
He nodded in agreement. �Fine. For this battle we�ll fight together. I�ll get all the other
parts of you together to fight Pandora.�
I agreed and we decided to fight Pandora in the Derim district. And I left my dreams
behind.........
It was terribly cold out, a dark, dank, cold darkness. The coldness of eternal damnation,
a damnation that I would find. I didn�t know whether I would win this, but I had to try. For
Sarah, and everyone.
The streets were all cracked and broken. The buildings were rotting and falling apart.
Cars all around were smashed, some showed signs of being burnt. Everything had the sign of a
battle, because there was.
This was the main and final battle ground in the war between the Demi-gods and the
angels. This was also the sight of the old tournament of masters, the greatest battle tournament
ever. Maybe this was related to the battle, but I didn�t know.
�So you�ve come. Now I�ll show you how much better then you I am!� I knew the voice,
Pandora.
I turned around to see Pandora dressed in a white martial arts suit, with a black belt.
�Well are you ready to go to hell? I�ll send you there, for everyone you�ve killed. I shall bring
justice.�
Pandora laughed lightly. �Me? What of you? You�ve killed billions yourself. Indirectly,
but you still killed them. So don�t talk to me of justice.�
I nodded at the thought. �True. But I�m ready to accept my fate and be damned for all
time. Are you?�
Pandora growled lightly. �I�m already damned! You took everything from me in that
fight. Now you will die! En guard!� She then tossed a black energy bolt at me.
I dodged it and looked at the hole which was left by the blast. That started the firefight.
Blasts were sent from both sides, each dodging attacks. Then came the sword fighting. Blades of
energy clashed in a display of power. I had all my power and attention into this, never wavering.
Pandora knew this so she increased her fighting skills.
Then Pandora got the lucky strike, knocking me across the room. She then used this
opportunity to crush me with her powers. I felt the pain just like that in the temple. The searing
pain which made me spit out blood.
As the pain got worse and worse, I saw the anger swell up in Pandora�s eyes. I knew she
would kill me, then everyone else until there was nothing left to take her anger out on. She would
then kill herself, only anger remained. And I caused that anger, is it my fault for all this? Am I
worse then I thought? These were questions to be asked when the battle was over though.
As I spat up more blood I lost my grip on this world, falling into another.......
I awoke in the place of black. I saw over a dozen versions of me standing in a circle,
holding hands. They were all chanting. I saw Sanity and Insanity amongst them. �What are you
all doing?�
Insanity looked up at me and smiled. �We�re winning the battle for you. We have all
agreed and are becoming one, working in unison. This is the evolution of mankind, to be like
this. When we are united, we can unlock the great power. There is a great power within all of
this, but only people pure of heart like you can use it. Now show Pandora the ultimate power.
Defeat him using it and end this!�
I then woke up........
My eyes focused in on the pool of blood. I quickly moved them up to see Pandora,
looming over me. She looked at me with a frown. �Get up damn you! Show me a fight! I don�t
want it to end this fast! I want you to suffer like I suffered! Slowly and painfully, hearing you
scream!�
I got up slowly, no trying to over exert myself. Pandora let me up, her anger blinded her
judgement. I felt the power bubble up within me, demanding to be released, and it would. I
screamed out as loud as I could and purple energy surrounded me.
Fire swirled around and thunder struck in a circle around me. The ground shook and
shards of ice flew from my hands as they faced Pandora. The purple energy then circled me in a
spherical shape, all I could see was purple. But I knew where she was, I knew that she would die!
So then once I had pulled out all the power I could then I threw it at him, screaming the name of
the ability. �Ragnarok!�
Then the energy was discharged upon Pandora. She screamed in pain and torment as this
was a slow death. Her skin was torn from her flesh, her flesh from her bone. And then finally her
bone was incinerated in the discharge. All the energy and power still existed and continued,
leveling everything in its path.
Once the power had vanished, nothing remained. I looked around to see only burned
rubble and fire. This would be a victory to celebrate if only I wasn�t so tired. Then I felt that my
life was draining from my body. I was so weak when I used Ragnarok that it took everything out
of me. But at least Pandora�s dead.
Then I fell into the darkness again...........
I awoke, lying on the same street as I was a while ago. I didn�t know how long I was out,
and a part of me didn�t want to know. But why was I awake? I thought I was dead?
I looked around to try and figure out what was going on, but everything was out of focus.
Then it began to change around, coming into focus. Then I saw an angel, the most beautiful
angel I had ever seen. But not an angel in the literal sense, but I saw Sarah looking over me with
a smile. �You�re alive!� She screamed this out at me and wrapped her arms around me,
squeezing me hard.
I smiled lightly coughing a little. It was so cold, so very cold. �I�m alive, but I don�t think
I�ll be here for very long. I have to go and get my punishment for what I have done. For who I
have killed. Maybe I will see you again, maybe.� I coughed some more before continuing.
�Damn, this is like a corny movie. Me dying and saying my last words to you. Well let�s finish
the scene. I love you. Good bye.� Then I coughed my last before dying.
Sarah looked down at me, she began to cry. Tears streamed down her face as she looked
down at my body. �I love you to, Ryan. Ryan! RYYYAAAAAANNNNNNN!� She screamed as loud
as she could. She didn�t care that the people who helicoptered her in were watching, she need to
let it all out. There would be a pain in her soul forever. She knew he had done so much wrong,
most of it while he was trying to do right. Maybe death would give him ease. His soul carried
great weight, as did hers now. Maybe they would meet again, he said they might, maybe. She
hoped so. She would live for that day, or die for it. someday.........
After the death of Pandora the Demi-gods fell apart. With no leader they all separated
into small groups which were easily destroyed by the angels and the group under Sarah�s
leadership. But once their target was destroyed their anger turned against each other, and the
war between the two groups continued. The humans pulled out of the war and set up camp in the
old Derim district. After a decade of fighting both sides destroyed themselves. With only a
handful of humans left and a handful of spirits and angels they fought for food and territory.
Soon they were destroyed as well, leaving nothing except destruction behind...........
�Sir! Both groups have obliterated each other, as well as the humans, these worlds are
ours for the taking!�
�Is there really a point in taking them? There is nothing left for us. No one to use,
nothing to gain? Was manipulating this war really worth it?�
�Well we can create our own world, one where we rule. We can create people to serve us!
We will be gods!�
�That�s what the angels did. They created the Demi-gods and spirits to serve them. Then
they turned on them and destroyed them. Do we want to be bound to the same fate? Everyone is
bound to fate.�
�But this is no better then that. At least we�ll enjoy ourselves for the time we live. And
they may not betray us.�
�The meaning of their life is to make sure there is no meaning, to fight a fate they
cannot, it is the struggle in life which makes it interesting.�
�So what does that have to do with this?�
�They want to struggle against us since we will control their destiny.�
�So then what do we do now?�
�Maybe we should try your idea. Even if they betray us, it is still better then spending a
life in exile.�
�So we create people for us? To serve us, and praise us? Maybe we should just create
them so they cannot betray us.�
�No. Everything must repeat itself. If it doesn�t, everything will be destroyed by itself.
That�s the truth. Ryan knew that in the end. So he accepted the truth instead of fighting it. Most
people won�t accept it because if they know it is a losing battle to fight fate they will not want to
live.�
�You talked to Ryan a couple days before he died?�
�Yes from the shadows, I can�t travel outside of them. He was a great man who knew a
lot. Too bad he�s dead.�
�Well I�ll alert the other five. Greed, Gluttony, Lust, Envy and Sloth.�
�Good. Now go on Wrath. I�ll be right here, thinking.�
�Yes, Pride, Good day to you.� And so Wrath left.
Pride took a sip of blood. He had waited so long for his exile to be over, and now that it
was, he wasn�t feeling well. Because he knew that he would be killed in a revolt, it was the same
before. History repeats itself. But then it might not happen, being dead is better then being here
in the abyss of nothingness. Maybe when he died he would find peace, Ryan had. Life is to be
enjoyed, and the only way to enjoy it is not knowing the truth. Ignorance is bliss and the
unknown makes life interesting. And maybe death would be just as interesting for him and the
other seven sins............
So there ends my tale, a long one eh? I�m still waiting for the day I�ll reach Sarah again,
they said it would come. I have been waiting for so long, so many centuries, looking into the
darkness, alone with my thoughts. One would go insane, but now all my parts are as one and can
not be separated.
Soon I might be with her, soon. But I deserve this, for all I have done wrong. Now I will
wait in the darkness. I have no more stories to tell, no more things to say. Now begone! I want to
be alone with my thoughts, and memories of my angel Sarah.........
