We brothers changed that day. 

A few years ago, a chance visit of our family's distant relative visited us; his name was Otto Apocalypse. He is a good man, having been a part of numerous generations of our family since 500 years ago. 

Sadly, what was originally a joyful visit turned into something else as my brothers and I were engulfed in an event that would forever change our lives.

-Rex Crozzo

A voice, powerful and loud, echoes through countless realms carrying the power of Mythical dragons. Rewriting reality as each word is uttered. 

A blade of light, a sword of the soul, dancing in an unbearable song resonating with the universe, a prayer of sorts. 

A man, falsely imprisoned, fought through hell and back. Now stranded in another realm filled with madness as its protector, the only sane man in an insane world or is he?

Rex Crozzo, dressed in regal robes of two colors split in half, said nothing as he stood by a throne, a gray crystalline blade rested on the ground with his hands on the Crossguard as he looked at the approaching people by the throne room. 

How long has it been? He has been subject to time but is not affected by it anymore. He still remembered that day a few years ago or was it centuries? Who knows. Accidentally arriving in a prison and escaping along with a prisoner that was now his boss, claiming the title of the Divine Crusader... it has been so long. 

"Oh, my dear Rexxie!" The old man on the throne said with a grin. 

"Yes, my lord?" Rex asked, his youthful face turned towards the old man on the throne. Madness emanated from the old man as he leaned in toward Rex. 

"As the Defender of the Realm," 

"You want to go on vacation?" Rex asked, looking at the old man. "By all means, go ahead." 

"See! I know you'd let me! Now, get the cheese! Cheese, for everyone!" The old man shouted while Rex shook his head as he looked at the inhabitant of the throne room. 

"By being a good employee, I hereby," 

Before the old man can finish his sentence, Rex moved. Swinging the Crystalline greatsword, the young man bisected an arrow. Raising his hand, a bright light covered it, the young man aimed his palm at an empty area, allowing a thunderbolt to kill the intruder. 

"Sheesh, the nerve of this people!" The old man shouted as he looked at the now-deceased attacker. "Scratch that! Cheese for no one!" 

"What did you want to say?" Rex asked, looking at the old man who smiled. Before Rex can react, the young man found himself falling. Turning his body around, the young man's eyes widened as he saw it. 

Holding the crystalline sword in his hand, the young man faced the approaching open maw with an emotionless look as gray crystals covered his body.

A young woman looked at the sight in front of her with a blank look.

"Quite impressive," The woman said as she slowly approached the young man in front of her, standing by the defeated body of the beast. "To do such a thing without using "Power from beyond this world."

Rex turned to her with a blank look. Dark orbs met with pink. Madness is met by discipline. 

"Hmm, This is not the first time you fought with beasts like this?" Saying nothing, Rex turned around. 

"That is up to you to decide," Rex said as a door made of three faces appeared from nowhere, opening with a carpet of Cheese. 

"What's your name, nameless knight?" The woman asked. 

"Rex Crozzo, Defender of the realm of the Shivering Isles," Rex answered the woman. 

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Rex Crozzo stood alone. 

"How long has it been?" He asked himself, his dark eyes gazed upon the end. "The Kalpa is now at its end. The black wings of the World Eater cast its shadow on the countless, infinite realms of Oblivion." 

"What will you do about it?" The old man asked as the two of them remained in the throne room. "This has happened once and it will happen again."

"Alduin, feyn do jun, kruziik vokun staadnav, voth aan boahlok wah diivon fin lein." Rex repeated as he lowered his greatsword, the Sword of Jyggalag. 

"The last dragonborn finished his mission a long time ago but for you, it was just yesterday," Sheogorath said as his face now resembled its original owner. 

"Outside this world, it has been centuries ever since we first met in that cell," Rex said as he looked at the Old Man. "I still have a card up my sleeve and I will face this end with all that I have," 

O! How I have seen the Dragon's Dogma!

Unbound by time, all-binding, grand design,

land and skies and seas yearn,

finish the Cycle of Eternal Return

Rex sang as he gazed into the rift as he braced himself for the last dance of his long life. And for the first and possibly the last time, he let the power from this world and the one he earned from another to envelop him.

A hand of killing light was raised to the sky as he roared out his cry. "RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!" 

The divine Crusader and Defender of the Shivering Isles danced with the world eater in a tale that will not be told in truth for there will be none left as the Kalpa begins itself anew.

--=-=-=-=-=--==-=-====

"To you, my most precious friend," Sheogorath, Daedric prince of Madness, whispered as he looked at the destroyed Shivering Isles as the hunched-over figure of the Defender with his blade pierced through the heart of the world eater. "May you find peace," The Hero of Kvatch broke through the mantle of the prince of Madness to mourn his friend and as to how the will of one man, stopped the Cycle. 

The black wings of Despair, Alduin rose once more, giving one last look at the corpse of the Defender of the Shivering Isles as it devoured everything without holding back.

"In another place, in another life, another child of Man blazes your path."

Rex Crozzo, the weakest student of St. Freya Academy, panted as he pushed himself up. Glaring at the robots, the young man held his sword in defiance. Focusing himself, the youngest Crozzo nodded at the smiling and cheering faces of his brothers as he resolved himself. 

Until a scream of pain escaped from his mouth as his hands grabbed his head as if he was trying to stop it from exploding as memories and experiences entered his mind.

'is this the life I desired?' Rex asked himself as he lost consciousness.
