Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

He had finally decided.... He had finally accepted what was to come.... He had never planned on keeping the power forever.... His greed had taken over.... Greed.... he never thought he could experience such a thing.... He had created the 12 parallels and had chosen to share them with all peoples.... yet..... When they began striving for his power, which he had wanted them to do in the first place, it over came him.... But now.... He had accepted it.... To finally give in, he had decided to start over.... To work his way up from the ground just like everyone else as mortal.... Or two.... Through his own system he would see if he was truly mean to be the god of all things.... His going out however, would be a grand one indeed....

The two silhouettes stood meaning over a bridge.... The sun setting slowly beyond, up the stream....

"I'm sure you've heard the news...." the dark one stated....

"I hear it first you know...." the wild one claimed picking his nose....

"This is a good opportunity for us...." the dark one said staring into a steam....

"Ha! It's not that good...." the wild one laughed inspecting a booger and flicking it into the water....

"Regardless, there is a journey we need to make...." the dark one whispered as he nonchalantly eyed a passerby....

"Whatever, I'm ready anytime...." the wild one boasted as he turned to see two travelers walking away.... He leaned back over the railing staring at the sky....

"You're always so half-hazard...." the dark one argued....

"Yeah.... And you're always so emo...." the wild one mocked making a quirky face....

"What?" the dark one asked confusedly....

"Nevermind...." the dark one muttered....

Searching around the crowd on the bridge again neither seem to find what they're looking for.... They part....

A dark cave is softly lit by a dozen or so fireflies.... They float gently through the murky darkness.... A piercing roar causes them to scatter like roaches.... Two men clad in armor step from the shadows....

"It knows we're here...."

"Let's get this over with...."

"Agreed...."

They simultaneously dash forward through a sea of pitch black that no other creature dares to penetrate.... The emptiness almost seems thick like hot tar.... An evil aura permeates from all angles, yet neither of the warriors are affected in the slightest.... One of the men slides to a stop, and after a quickly uttered chant, hurls two orbs of radiating light past his ally into the darkness ahead.... Synchronically, the other combatant leaps into the sky as if soaring on the wings of an eagle.... The light reveals a large black dragon with four wings and two heads.... In complete unison, the airborne strikes his blade deep within the summit of the beasts left neck, while the grounded assailant plunges his sword into the reptiles left flank of the under belly.... Within a half of a second the men had crossed paths with blazing speed and precision seemingly passing through each other, leaving an enormous "X" shaped gash spanning the monstrosity's entire front side.... The creature was slain in an instant and both men had already disappeared back into the abyss by the time the life had faded from it's scorched orange eyes....

Suddenly they are walking through a field under a high sun.... Tall blades of dry bronze grass sway at their calves and crunch softly underfoot.... The valley is vast and no wildlife is present.... In all directions a sea-like meadow extends as far as the eye can see, glittering under the baking rays of the golden sun.... A crisp breeze soothes them as it caresses their skin and carries away the slight perspiration of the recent battle....

"Why do we bother with weaklings like this?"

"You know that answer well.... We must not let even one new beast escape our wrath...."

"What I mean is we are the strongest.... Why don't we get recognition for it for once?"

"We will.... One day...."

"Hmph.... A break now and then would still be nice...."

"Ha.... Yes.... Did you have a chance to read the news by the way?"

"Do I ever?"

"The Lord is hosting a retirement ball at the Omega Mansion...."

His partner stopped walking in surprise.... Assuming his ears had deceived him.... He focused on the man's face as he too came to a halt and turned to face his shocked ally.... The wind picked up and blew their aloft into the air, weaving slowly, dancing with the breeze during the short break rarely allowed by the two men to take place....

"What?"

"Our chance will be sooner than you think little brother...."

"....Don't call me that...."

At that, the rest came to an end, and the heavy metal boots resumed their endless path through the brush, pounding dead plant into the earth with loud thumps of every step on the path to their destiny....
