DarkSiders: Revelations
2499 Words
To everyone,
My friends and love. Aaleyha, Anna, and Madison. Four years ago I left you all. I missed you with every day passing bye. I sometimes fell your angry at me or disappointed that I left. I regret my decision of leaving you. Now I've heard word that you've been accused of stealing an ancient artifact named The Apple of Eden. I say you've all been wrongly accused. So I now want to undo my mistake and free you from hell. But this will take more than enough effort to free you. People say that the road to masyaf castle has been taken over by demons, bandits, and thugs. Looking to loot and kill anything. The gates of hell is hidden in the stones of masyaf castle. I hope that in my arrogance, and pain, that you can forgive me from my mistake. I miss you all. Now I will bring you back.
Yours truly,
Shane
I rode off after the letter was sent. I rode to masyaf castle to free my love and friends. I saw at least 100 demons ready for a fight. Then after a bloody battle I turned into my reaper for and killed every single demon I saw. Then I went in. "This is the masyaf castle. Not bad. Expected only a bit more." I said to myself. Then I heard talking. I went near to hear, "HURRY UP HUMAN! Your lucky I won't kill you right now. I get impatient easily." "Yes sir." said a worker. Then I stealthily killed every single demon. Then I impaled the last demon. "Oh god! Please. I'm only a worker with a family." said the man. "What kind of work?" I asked. "Digging mostly. When I was hired I thought I was doing good. Then they threatened that they would kill my family and hang me. Then I found this door. They say that this is the key of hell...hidden." explained the man. "This is the door of the human assassin, Altiar Ibn La Ahad. This hide's a very dangerous artifact, then the gates of hell will be unlocked if disturbed." I explained to the man. "Really. I had no clue. I know to unlock this door it needs five keys." said the man. "Here. Take this gold. Work with real people and kinder." I said. "Thank you! But I will be killed if I try to leave." said the man. "I will deal with the demons. You need to escape." I said. "Here. Horsemen. Take this. (He gave me a map) Kill the demon leader here and you will have one of the keys. Then the rest will show." said the man. "Thank you." Then I left. "The horsemen is here to kill us! Defend the demon leader!" said one of the demons. "Well! Red Death is here! You looking for this?! (He held the key) You can't get passed me! I'll kill you. Your outnumbered." said the demon leader. "If I can't go. Neither can YOU!" I said. Then I blocked the demons and burned them to death. "A fight it is!" said the Demon Leader. Then he jumped down. I took out my scythe's. Then the Demon Leader turned into a huge monster. After a long battle I turned into my reaper form and grabbed the monster by the mouth and tore it apart. Then I grabbed the key. "This is for my friends and love." I said. I looked at the map to see the next key was located in Montana. Then I rode off.
As I was riding to Montana I heard whispering. I stopped Redemption and looked back. Nothing was their. Then something rustled in the bushes. I got off of Redemption and took out my scythes. "Who's there? Show yourself!" I said. Then people with mask's jumped down from the tree's. They had guns, bows, and spears. Then their leader came. His mask was colored differently. "Who are you?" asked their leader. "Same could be said to you." I replied. "I am Jack. We are the Wraiths. We are admirers of the horsemen. They protected us and the world before we could make a move. I am the general of the Wraiths." explained Jack. "I am Red Death." I said. "Red Death?" Jack said surprised. Then everybody took off their mask's. Then they knelled. "Forgive my arrogance. We had no clue you where a horsemen. May we have the honor of you coming to our colony and join our feast?" said Jack. "You may." I said. Then after we arrived the others where preparing the feast. "JACK!" said a child. "John!" said Jack as they hugged. "Relatives?" I asked. "We are brothers. John this is one of the horsemen of legend. Red Death." said Jack. "Really?! I want to be a great warrior just like you!" said John. "Like me?" I asked. "Yes! The horsemen are the deadliest warriors ever! It is said that you are the strongest!" said John. "Well that's nice. But I'm not the strongest. Death, my brother is and the leader of us horsemen. Fury's a lose cannon, Strife is the more energetic one, and War is the smartest one. He's is also the youngest of us. Well was the youngest." I explained. "It is such an honor to meet you." said John. "Here. Take this amulet. This can only be worn by a warrior. This gives power like no other. But to be a warrior you need power, and strength, and intelligence, and hope. Wear this with pride." I said. "Thank you!" said John. "Red Death. Our king wishes to see you." said Jack. "Okay." I said. "Ah! The horsemen of legend. Red Death! Such an honor to meet you! My name is Lord Flynn." said Lord Flynn. "Lord Flynn." I said. "Please join us for our feast!" asked Lord Flynn. After we sat down for the feast. Many people where their. "So Lord Flynn. How long have you been King of the Wraiths?" I asked. Lord Flynn grabbed a drink, took a sip, and said," 2 years now. Ever sense my father was poisoned I took over. Now all who need help come to me. But enough of that. I can help you get the maysaf keys. Kill all of our enemy's and you will find one location for them all. Demons guard them. We have 4 enemy's left. We will assist you in any way we can." said Lord Flynn. "Thank you for the food, and your offer for assistance. I will contact you any way I can. But this is personal." I said. Then I rode off to Montana. There was a Demon General their. "RED DEATH! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! YOU WILL PAY! AND YOUR FRIENDS AND LOVE WILL PERISH IN HELL!" said the Demon General. After an intense battle I took out my scythes and broke the generals spine. In pain he fell of his back. Then I grabbed his head and impaled my scythe through his skull. Then I saw a maysaf key. I grabbed it and said, "2 down, 2 to go." I looked back and rode off the the next Demon General. He was launching an attack on the Wraiths colony.
I rode back to see flames. Fire was everywhere. "Red Death!" said Jack. "What is it?! What happened here!" I asked. "I don't know! Lord Flynn told us that it was a Demon General that attacked us. But John. He's trapped in a building. We can't get in!" said Jack worried. "I'll get him! You need to get out of here!" I then ran in. I broke through the wall. "JOHN! You in here!" I yelled. The flames where getting greater. "Red Death! HELP!" said John. "Where are you!" I then heard a scream. I torn down that wall to get hit by burning wood on my chest and leg's. Then I saw John. "I got you. (I picked him up.) Hold on!" I said. Then I jumped out of the building. I let go of John and I landed on my back. I then summoned my reaper hands to grab him. Then I set him down. " JOHN! You okay?" asked Jack. "I am. Thanks to Red Death." said John. "Hey. He has smoke in his lungs. He need immediate medical attention. "Get him in the infirmary!" said John. I then took out the wood out of my chest and legs. I used my heal flame on me. Then I absorbed all of the flames. "Lord Flynn. What happened here?" I asked. "I was walking when I saw smoke. I ran and rung the bell. Everybody woke up and then you came. That damn demon general. He tried to find you and then he burned the village." said Lord Flynn. "Now I need your assistance Lord Flynn. I need your army. This demon will have heavy security. I need warriors. "Very well. You may use my army." said Lord Flynn. Everybody went onto horse's when I heard John say," Jack! Please come back after this." "I will John. Besides, Red Death will help me." said Jack. "Please bring him back after this Red Death." asked John. "I will... Everybody! Let's ride now!" I said. Then we came to the base where the same Demon Leader. "EVERYBODY! You may die today! But stand proud. You are helping my cause. Your cause. We will die if we have to. For death or VICTORY!" I said. Everybody yelled. Then we rode. "Demons! Fire the cannons! Launch the fire arrows! Kill these weaklings!" said the Demon General. After many people dying by cannon fire or burning to death we entered the base. "Jack go home! Go to safety! I will hold without you. You 16 men. Come with me!" I said. Then we came after the Demon General. Then we came into a room the have 8 men killed by arrows. "Red Death! Your legend ends here!" said the Demon General. "Legends never die." I said. Then after an intense battle I knocked down the Demon General, I grabbed his sword, jumped, and impaled his sword in his head and twisted his head. "Goodbye." I said. Then the 8 others grabbed their spears and surrounded me with them. "Red Death. Finally my brothers are dead. My father was pathetic and so gullible like you!" said Lord Flynn on a boat. "You! You betrayed me, your brothers, your people, and the horsemen. You poisoned the true king, took his place, stole the Apple of Eden, and accused my friends and love!" I said. "Yes I did! Now I will go the the gates of hell, and make sure that your friends and love forever perish in hell! And you shall live forever in guilt!" said Lord Flynn. "IF YOU HARM THEM I WILL KILL YOU!" I said. "We shall see. Kill him." said Lord Flynn. "BASTARD!" I said. Then I turned into my reaper form and killed all of the men surrounding me. Then I got on my horse and rode to maysaf. But Lord Flynn was in a chariot with 4 horse's. Then Lord Flynn's soldiers came on horse's with guns. After a long battle on horseback two men loaded their guns right on my left and right. I stopped Redemption and the men shot each other. Then Lord Flynn and I were right next to each other when a bomb exploded. We both fell of a cliff. Then we landed on a rock. After another battle I grabbed Lord Flynn on the throat and he said," Red Death, please, mercy!" "You betrayed me, my friends, and my love. And you ask for mercy. NEVER!" I said as I dropped him of the cliff. He screamed as he looked at me standing their. Then after I went into the castle I unlocked the gates of hell. "What next now?" I asked myself. "Now here is the end of the road. Your journey now ends with a choice." said Crow-Father. "My options?" I asked. "You may drop the apple of Eden in the flames to restore your friends and love's name. Then you have a choice. You may live and the world will be at peace forever. But your friends and love may perish in hell forever..." said Crow-Father. "Or?" I asked. "Or. You may sacrifice yourself, let your friends and love live. But you will perish forever. This choice will show who you really are." explained Crow-Father. I sighed and said," My friends and love. I would anything for them. Just for them to see the sun once again. With or without me standing with them." I said. "The choice has been made. Now the cost." said Crow-Father. I sighed and dropped all my weapons, then my guns, my armor, then I took off my mask. Then I jumped in the flames. "In the end Red Death sacrificed himself. "But why did he do it?" asked people. Some said a death wish, others said arrogance. But the truth? The truth was love. In battle when he was almost in defeat his care for his friends and love made him go further. But he knew that may would kill him. But he still did it for his love for them. He could've been heartless for his life. But he wanted his friends and love to live. And that's what he did. His friends and love lived, while he perished with happiness. Knowing he did what he wanted forever. To let them live a life with peace and happiness. But even now he still perishes in hell. These where Red Death last words in this letter." said Crow-Father telling the story to kids. He showed them the letter. The letter said this,"
Dear Everybody,
