7. ARMAGEDDON PART I

In the deepest part of your dreams, you can only see the fade of darkness surrounding nearby, engulfing all source of light entirely. Everywhere is pitch black. You reckon that a voice was heard across the void, like as if someone was calling out to you personally trying to get your attention. Stepping further towards the echo of its voice, the chilling air inside makes it harder for you to breathe. Now, crawling (F/n) suddenly stops to see nothing there. Prior to this uncomfortable feeling, the boy curls up into a ball and closed his eyes only to hear the voices again, looking up to find the direction he predicts it would be next. He notices a red wisp floating in the void, barely able to comprehend what it is trying to tell me, the wisp points unto me. Confused. (F/n) begins to glow into an embodiment of violet, surging all over the boy until only saps of violet remained stuck on him. Standing, the darkness emerges below him to snatch the boy further down. Reaching a level below, (F/n) runs towards a peculiar light transcending upon the shadow. Finally, he gets to the end of the void to spot an abnormal sized mirror with shattered frames of glass. His own reflection appeared right in front of him, visualizing what he saw was just him but noticing a shade of red. Turning around to see the wisp hovering behind him, (F/n) asked...

(F/n): What are you trying to tell me, why bring me here to the middle of nowhere?

Red Wisp: (using your father's voice): Death. Death is coming for us all eventually...

(F/n): That's not being helpful one bit, you aren't making any sense. Please tell me, why am I here?

Red Wisp: I am here...to guide you. (murmuring)

(F/n): Well, can you "guide" me out of here?

Red Wisp: No...but I can help you learn about the origins of your future. I am here...to guide you. Give me a command, and I will do what I must.

(F/n): (tired) Okay, describe this mirror, what's the purpose of leaving such a broken piece of glass in the open. Why is this the only object I'm able to touch?

------------------SILENCE FALLS UPON THEM BOTH---------------------

Red Wisp: The mirror resembles your newfound powers...one in particular is glimpsing into the future. The results of receiving such powerful knowledge comes with a price. The user can see through the glass to find out the possible outcomes. But, doing so could cause the user to feel burdened to acknowledge what might happen to him or his-----loved ones. The pain you must bear is the price, to achieve the answers given to you...and unable to change anything. You are the first "child" to step a foothold in this realm. Powers like these pay a heavy toll...using it wisely is best, for now...

(F/n): Alright, so I will only use it when I need to. Using my powers will bring pain unto me.

Red Wisp: Yes, but I suggest you use it, the decision is yours----Armageddon is upon us. AND YOU, BOY MUST BE READY.

The Wisp slowly fading away, (F/n) clings on to its astral form and begs the strange creature to stay...

(F/n): (worried) Please, don't leave me. I don't know what to do...

Red Wisp: Everything you require is here. Whatever you want is yours, sir. I will comeback one day to speak with you. Until, then seek the answers you need, and DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE GO BEYOND YOUR BOUNDARIES, OTHERWISE YOU WILL REGRET IT.

Disappearing, (F/n) begins to feel alone and wanting to leave. But he has a job to do...He walks over to the mirror and ask it one simple question. Something or someone he is concerned with.

(F/n): Please tell me, What lies ahead of me in the future, does my father and I make it to Atlas?

The broken glass frame starts to cloud the user's vision until sharing unto (F/n), catastrophe.

My House in Menagerie being in flames. Blood is covering the clear white snow, screams of distress are heard, cries of pain and sorrow insane laughter booming in the night sky... and orchids blooming and flown with the wind leading into Atlas.

(F/n): (shouting) WHAT? THIS CAN'T BE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THIS VISION WAS SUPPOSED TO EXPLAIN MY FUTURE. UGH, I WISH THIS WAS MORE CLEAR...I'M STILL LOOKING FOR ANSWERS.

Depressed. And. Alone. (F/n) collapses onto the floor with tears strolling beneath his eyes. He feels as if the vision he seemed wasn't enough but soon remembers what his"guide" told him. In time, the wisp will come back with more answers to the boy's many questions revolving around the future holds. Figuring out a way to escape, (F/n) begins to doubt himself and his abilities. He kept telling himself---

(F/n): I am cursed, AREN'T I? (screaming at the top of his lungs, angry with substantial blow in the spirit)

Fear. Is. What. He. Had. Known. Ever. Since. Gaining. These. Powers.

(F/n): (crying) Someone. Please help me. DAD!!!

After, calling out to his father. Nothing happened. In denial, (F/n) still held a firm belief his father will come for him. Hearing out a friendly voice, he saw a small fuzzy ball of blue light in the darkness.

(F/n): What are you supposed to be, are you here to help me? (curious)

???: (speaking with Ilia's voice) Of course silly, I'm willing to guide you back to the real world. You may call me, umm the Blue Spirit. or Blu. Maybe Blue Wisp. I don't know exactly what I am or even my own name. I just know my purpose is to stay by your side till the time came where you don't need me anymore.

(F/n): How about Blu for short, and thank you. Ever since the Red Wisp came, it was less supportive to show me the way outta this place. Leaving my side when I needed it most. But, you are here now. Kinda weird you guys sound like my father and cousin. Why is that?

Blu: OH YEAH. Umm, well we are both enigmas inside your imaginary head. Currently, you are stuck in an endless loop and unable to sleep. Don't fret because I am with you and gonna save you, creator.

(F/n): What? What do you mean by "creator"?

Blu: Well, you did receive the "newfound powers" the other spirit was talking about. You are the creator of this realm. This realm might be built inside your head but I can assure you that everything here is real. Don't worry about getting hurt physically in this one, but be careful about how your spiritual intangible might react. We are both here to serve but I don't know where the other guy went. (The spirit said while laughing at its own joke, lame).

(F/n): (clapping his hands together) Hey bud, let's focus here. Remember I'm trying to find my way back to the real world. To reality.

Blu: Oops, my bad. Lost track of time. Heehee. (taking physical form in front of him)

(F/n): Hold up, you can do that? (amazed by his servant's abilities)

Blu: Yup. Sorry if you can't fully see me. My true form isn't completely solidified yet, more in a stagnant process. Enough about me, I'l be honest with you... possessing any control over this realm isn't my cup of tea but for you it will work. If that's the case, I can lead you to the path out of this.

(F/n): Okay, so what shall I do then to get out of my own head? (confused with everything he just said)

Blu: Alright. First, relax and calm your "mind". Second, focus on the pinnacle forces moving alongside the body. Anything you can hear outside is good. And, third...um I guess all I can say is Good luck Creator.

(F/n): Thanks Blu. Also, please call me (F/n) for now on whenever we meet again.

Resting on the jet-black floor, (F/n) sits criss-cross in a meditation position. He exhales in peace to find an initiative escape. Hey, I can hear someone. Come on, (F/n)...focus on that incoming sound. "(F/n) wake up my son". "Please". "Wake". "Up". Igniting my aura, the whole realm beings to glow brighter and brighter with violet colors and shades of pink. (F/n) finally sees what is around him, on one side of realm lies a unique red forest but clouded with darkish clouds and harsh winds. The other side manifested the symbol of peace, sharing gleams of light blue colors, a smooth wave flowing alongside the beach, and alluring aurora with bright green lights fading any source of shade in its path. And in the middle, was a bridge connecting both sides together and there it was...the mirror. Looking much larger than ever, that particular part seemed to resemble "balance". I began to smile upon Blu while levitating upwards into the singular beam of light shining on me. I waved towards Blu, good bye as I headed further up.

(F/n): (waving my left hand): See you later, Blu!!! I'm glad we met, friend. We'll see each other again.

Blu: (smiling) Yup, until another time. . Our time together taught me one thing, sir. Hope. Good bye, my friend. And Good luck...(whispering to himself) you'll need it...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zooming out of the realm, (F/n) awakened in his father's arms as he noticed the house burning down. Shocked, the boy started to panic and begged his father to explain what was happening. Why is the house on fire?

Dad: (hugging his son tightly) Oh (F/n), thank goodness you are awake. I thought we lost you...We barely got out alive. I don't understand what happened either or how the fire started. Don't worry about Ilia, she's currently with the Belladonnas. I'm just glad you are safe, my son.

(F/n): Whew, at least she is safe. The unknown fire spreading unexpectedly? That's kinda weird. (Standing up, (F/n) soon realized everything around him. All of our neighbors houses were on fire too. How could this happen?

Dad: I'm sorry (F/n). I tried to save everyone else...the debris killed most of them but I was able to rescue a couple of folk. Many died...many of them...

(F/n): (placing a hand of him) You tried, Dad. You tried your best. Thank you for saving me and everyone else. We all owe you our lives...

Dad: I'm honored to be your father. Truly I am so proud of the man you are turning out to be. (He exclaims with full of pride)

(F/n): (smirking) Of course, my father deserves all the credit. I got his perks...

Dad: And..His Good Looks (chuckling)

(F/n): Yup!!! (sticking out his tongue like a nit-wit)

Both of them grinning at each other, while laying on the ashes. (F/n) reluctantly heard a dreadful sound of screams. Many Faunus dropping dead in front of him, he notices the flash of white rushing towards him before his father steps in front him. The sound of metal clashing as (F/n)'s eyes shut closed, soon opening them wide to see a suspicious man stand before us. Testing my father's strength, the man seemed to get far closer than expected in combat and began licking his lips. Oddly, he was only using wrist blades. Staying alert, the man poked over the side of Dad and looks at me while shouting:

???: Hello there, Chosen One? I AM SO THRILLED TO FINALLY MEET YOU, BOY!!!

(F/n): Who are you? (spotting a black scorpion tail behind him, A FAUNUS!!!)

???: Where are my manners? (Flipping backwards, and posing as a gentlemen) I AM TYRIAN CALLOWS, MY BOY!!! HEE-HAA-HAA!!! AND YOU ARE...(F/n) (L/n), the Chosen One. (He said while maniacally laughing to himself).

Dad: (F/n)!!! STAND BACK!!! I'LL HANDLE HIM ALONE!!! (Igniting his aura and transferring into his Yari staff)

(F/n): Yes, Father... (displaying obedience and stepping away from Tyrian)

Tyrian: OH COME ON, I JUST WANNA HAVE FUN WITH THE BOY!!! (Licking the blood off his pincers). I BET HE WILL PROVE MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN THE REST... (Glancing back at the corpses he murdered while clapping his hands together in delight).

Dad: (angry) BE QUIET. YOU BASTARD. YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DONE TO MY PEOPLE. (sending out a powerful shockwave around him, pushing Tyrian back. Including (F/n) who went flying after receiving too much pressure.

Tyrian: THIS BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY. PEOPLE WILL WRITE STORIES ABOUT US FOR AGES. OOOH OOOH, WHAT SHOULD I CALL THE CHAPTER? HMM, HOW ABOUT ARMAGEDDON

---------------------------------------------------END OF CHAPTER 7---------------------------------------------------
Happy Birthday Jack!!! This chapter is meant for you. Everything you had done for me over the years saved me. Your kind words and advice changed me. I'm so proud to be your friend and pray you that you stay safe. Thank you.
