Shadows

Plot
Previously on Knight of All Knights,

Richard was born and wanted to be a Solider. He became friends with Will and Echtor at Camp Bellator ROMAE. 8 years later, Echtor killed a friend and Richard and Will were forced to confront him and kill him.

Now, years later George and James, along with Clifton are soldiers in the army, but James planned to marry a woman named Erica, so they left it. Echtor took the name “ The Man in the Shadows “ and killed his old friend Will and then killed Erica and her secret unborn child during the wedding. George had a strange dream, predicting future events. They soon found that their mother, Elizabeth had also died from Echtor’s hands. Enraged, they confronted the Man in the Shadows in the Accona Desert, everywhere Richard died.

Echtor revealed himself, also revealing that Will and Richard’s friend turned enemy was their foe all along, a foe from the past. James was minorly injured, and Clifton almost was killed by Echtor while visiting his old house. Echtor previously killed Emperor Patrick and then made a deal with the monster haunting George. After the heroes started reflecting on past events, Echtor attacked and kidnapped them, and forced them to travel 200 years into the future. Now, George and gang are being held by the army, charged with being spies for the Vandals.

Part 1: Hiding in Rome
“Georgius… it’s 455 A.D. “

I stood in front of the General, identified as General Volgatus. We had traveled 200 years into the future, something I couldn’t believe. Now, we were prisoners of the Roman Army, the same one we had served many years ago. So much for being soldiers.

“ BOYS… LOCK THESE… SPIES UP. “

6 Guards came and cuffed us.

“ What…. No….. “ Clifton shouted.

“ WE AREN’T SPIES….”

“ WE’RE FROM THE STINKING PAST “

As we were taken away, I saw a solider look at me, then have a crooked grin on his face, laughing with an ancient and evil voice… the voice of the monster.

The Guards put us into the same cell we were in many years ago, when we were framed for the death of Leonus.

“ So many memories. “ I said.

“ I know… all of them bad. “ Clifton said.

“ Did you see…” I started.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ My old house. Yeah. “ he responded.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">James nodded his head and asked,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Wait. This isn’t the same cell you were put in when…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Yes it was. “ I replied.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We sat there, waiting for destiny to do something to us…

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">-

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor walked into the city, not noticed by anyone. He went into a house, where he saw a peasant.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“R. miserere mei deorum.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor lunged at the man and quickly slit his throat. He grabbed some of the man’s extra clothes and put them on, covering his cloak. Then he ran towards the Colleseum, preparing to end it all.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AT LAST… ROME. AND WHEN THE CREATURE SAID IT SHOULD FALL…. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A bunch of storm clouds went above Rome, and the sky started turning red. The Earth rumbled, not too loud but just noticeable.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Strange…. I hope the creature doesn’t cause an Earthquake. I want Rome in flames… not sand. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, two red eyes flickered in the sky, and only Echtor heard these words,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Romes in Flames you want, Romes in Flames you shall receive. But make sure you do what I request. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, the creature sent a red lighting bolt to the collesuem, making Echtor fall to his knees. It hit the ground, and part of it destroyed the doors to the cells, releasing us and everyone else in there. Then, 3 more lighting bolts hit random parts of rome, sending the city into flames. Another struck the front of Rome, killing one hundred soliders. General Volgatus stood nearby, and looked as his men died. In the lighting, Volgatus saw …. Something. Something horrible…. Something beyond this world…. With giant teeth…. Huge eyes, and a dark face.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WHA…WHAT…. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">For a few mintues, he lost his mind… his sanity destroyed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ CREATURE… DI-MAN IN THE SHADOWS…. HERAL…. A Family Torn by Death and Hate….. One Brave Son shall determine Earth’s Fate…… AHHHH!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">But soon…. His Sanity returned and he said he just had a minor nervous breakdown.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ We’re free!” I shouted.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Finally. “ James added.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We ran out of the Collseum, only to find Echtor.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Echtor…. You little…”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Nice to meet you all but I got a date with Destiny. You see…. The Fall of Rome as begun. “

Part 2: The Fall of Rome
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">At that moment, a huge roar came from the hills. I looked as I heard hundreds of horses. Then, curving from behind to the top, then heading to Rome were the horses. Along with hundreds of soliders heading for us. All of them holding swords, bows, arrows, axes, and a bunch of other weapons.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ What the….”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Clifton kept a serious face, and shouted,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ George remember what General Volgatus said! He thought we were spies for the vandals! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ George…” James started. “ They are the Vandals! The sons of the ones who killed our father!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, I turned to Echtor, but he was gone…. As usual. I took my sword, the sword my father used, and hit it on part of a statue.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ THIS ENDS NOW! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then I saw Echtor running towards the fight and I ran. I heard everyone behind me as we slipped into the army. The Roman Army held their ground as Genseric, the leader of the Vandals lead the villains to Rome. The Two armies clashed, and 76 men died immediately. We went towards the middle where the bloodbath was moving towards.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WE SHALL PREVAIL! WE SHALL RISE! THE SOLIDERS OF ROME WILL RISE!” one man shouted as he killed a couple of Vandals.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A solider came across the general of the Vandals, the leader.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ YOU DARE FIGHT US? YOU DARE?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He took his sword and quickly killed him.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor, as he ran thru the armies, took his sword and killed everyone in his way. He stabbed one in the face, one in the heart, slit one in the throat and killed others. Soon, he was able to go to the top of one of poor peasant’s apartments and watched Rome tear itself apart. The city was in flames, but it was taking too long. He had merely entered Rome almost an hour ago and the city was only beginning to fall.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ CREATURE! YOU PROMISED ROME WOULD FALL! LET ME HELP BY SPEEDING THE PROCCESS. I CAN USE NEW POWER TO KILL RICHARD’S SONS! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The two red eyes returned and this time, James and George along with Echtor heard these words.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Request Granted…. Insect. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor’s right arm glowed, and then he raised his hand. Suddenly, from his hand grew a giant ball of fire. He sent it down to the army, killing 40 soliders, 20 from each side.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ ROME SHALL DIE!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He sent another one down, killing 30 more people, nearly killing us.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AHHHH!” I shouted as it hit the ground. I looked up and saw Echtor.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ There’s the traitor. “ I said with Rage, knowing still what he had done to my family.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor created two more and threw them towards us.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ ROME SHALL BE PUNISHED!

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The two suddenly became 8 smaller ones. We started running away, as 3 came near us. I took a dead vandal’s shield and threw it at the balls of fire. The 3 blew up, killing 12 men. The others hit buildings, and caused them to collapse. Temples burned, paintings destroyed as men cried out,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Quid tibi necesse ABOLEFACIO US! Quid tibi necesse INTROMITTO imbres INLUMINATIO et incendiis?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I looked as I saw Echtor fight Rome, and then suddenly…. The monster’s voice rang.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ ECHTOR! KILL THEM NOW! I HAVE WAITED LONG ENOUGH. TWO HUNDRED YEARS OF WAITING. KILL THEM NOW. BEG FOR FORGIVENESS. RID YOURSELF OF THE PAST AND I MAY GRANT YOU HERALDSHIP.”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I then heard Echtor cry out,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ THEN I SHALL DO THAT, MASTER. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, my arms burned as I saw something horrible happen. Suddenly, the creature’s rage came upon the Earth. For mere seconds it shook as land tore apart, volcanoes erupted, soldiers and citizens died. The Ground underneath Rome quaked, as the monster yelled out,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ DO IT!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor jumped down and hit the ground, and started heading for us. Shamefully, my friend Clifton forced James and I to hide into the background…. Away from Echtor.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We got in the middle of the bloodshed. Blood went on my outdated solider outfit, and a Vandal charged. I got out my sword and dueled.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">”Are you gonna just stand there or are you going to fight chicken?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I was angry crazy and anyone could have seen that even through my helmet, I was sweating all over too but I wasn't going to let my emotions get in the way. I was going to finish this brat, take out all my anger on Rome’s energy. If Rome was going to fall… I might as well give it one last grand fight.

Part 3: The Marks of the Creature Revealed
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I ran at the vandal with my sword heading right at his stomach. He was about to easily block that when he fell to the ground. We both did. The earth shook this time stronger than it ever did before, even while I was at Camp. The Sky filled with more blood as I heard one of the temples collapse.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Luckily for me the earthquake rattled this …. Merciless Vandal more than me, he was bleeding from his hand since he was about to stop my hit with his hand but then he fell on the hand and was injured, I got off with a small hit from my knee since I was running towards him when I fell. After the earthquake stopped I quickly got up and I headed with the sword for the neck. He easily slipped under me hitting me on the back hard from the other side. I fell because of the hit and I was almost finished.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">That’s when things once again got creepy… and mystical.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">His eyes glowed green, and then he laughed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ HAHAHAHA. Georgius…. You’ve not yourself. Maybe your immortal bones are wearing out from the 200 years that have passed. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ You… and what do you mean immortal bones foul creature?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Georgius. You don’t know? You have given Power. Power that this puny race can dream of. You can predict the future… which you have. You can fight with skills that when at your best can defeat anyone. And… you have a leadership quality… one that could make you Georgius, conqueror of 10 worlds!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Impossible! There is the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Earth, the underworld, and the realm of the Roman Gods!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NOT TRUE! I SHALL SHOW YOU THIS!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then, my vision changed. I saw a different land, one more… advanced. Strange lines of energy ran down the hills and mountains. The people ran far away, as the creature that attacked my camp attacked them. But they were not humans. They were … other creatures.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ ARE YOU THE SAME CREATURE THAT ATTACKED MY CAMP?” I asked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NO… THE LUBRUCA WAS MERELY MY SCOUT. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly a huge shadow… bigger then I have ever seen appeared. Before I could see what the shadow was…. I returned to reality.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ You didn’t answer my question. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ YOU AND YOUR BROTHER ARE IMMORTAL. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I lunged at the vandal being controlled, and our two swords hit each other. Suddenly, my arm felt like it had burst, as I saw parts of my skin being ripped from my left arm. Suddenly, a black symbol was formed on my arm. A Squid. Suddenly, it glowed blue as blue lighting came from my arm and onto the sword. The Creature laughed a sinister laugh as its host was blown to bits by the lighting. Suddenly, wind came around me and started killing everyone near me. I looked over to see the same thing happening to James.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WHAT IS GOING ON?” He cried out.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly the sky turned blue for a second, as people died. Blue lighting came from the sky and struck innocent people as we fell down, helpless. We didn’t want this to happen… but there was nothing we could do. The Monster continued to laugh, saying,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AT LAST…. YOU HAVE UNLEASHED SOME OF YOUR POWERS!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then, it all stopped. A big bright light appeared, and then only James and I were left arrive nearby. I looked onto the field as a Roman Flag waved behind me. That moment, 200 had died.

Part 4: Shadows
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We learned Clifton wasn’t destroyed. He killed a vandal and took his sword out of the victim’s head.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Guys… why do you have marks on your arm? “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ I don’t know… I think that monster gave them to us. “ James explained.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, I saw someone move in the Shadows.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Echtor… step out into the light. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Figure came out, and it was indeed Echtor.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ So you can see me even in the Shadows. Now… there is nowhere on Earth where I can be safe. It must end now. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor started running away as we chased him.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE TRAITOR! YOU MONSTER! YOU FALLEN HERO! YOU MURDERER! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ All of them, “ he started, “ are mere titles compared to the name Echtor. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">We chased him across Rome, traveling thru the streets as woman and child ran away, crying. As men fought against thieves and murderers. Soon, we reached a small temple. It had no statue but a painting on the roof. There were no walls, only columns all around. Clifton ran with his sword to try to kill him, but Echtor changed his fist into iron and hit Clifton. Clifton fell down… knocked out.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">--

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Last thing I remember was being hit by Echtor. For a while, there was nothing. Shadows. Then, I saw a light. Suddenly, I woke up. James was dueling against Echtor with George in shock.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“YOU KILLED HER! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He bashed the sword against Echtor’s.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ YOU KILLED ERICA! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He kept hitting the sword, putting dents in both.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ YOU KILLED OUR MOTHER! OUR UNCLE! MY CHILD! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">As he did this, he started crying. I could tell he was fighting for his whole family. For everyone who had died. I had never seen this side of James before.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ YOU SLAUGHTERED THEM ALL! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor looked at them and said,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ All of them were too easy to kill. I enjoyed killing each and every one of them. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I saw James’s face become more red. He snickered at James.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">" Surrender and only you shall die. Keep fighting, and all 3 of you die. "

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">James growled and shouted,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">" A solider NEVER gives up, a solider prefers to die in battle than to be humiliated. I see my honor as my life, obviously you don't."

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I remember those were the same words George used in his duel against Cyrus.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ You know… Honor doesn’t matter now. You know what’s always been important in Rome?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">James looked at Echtor, and the villain shouted,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ POWER!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, he dropped his sword and sent lighting at James. James fell to the ground, without a sword, and burned. George ran towards Echtor but Echtor grabbed him and threw him from the temple a few yards away.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I tried getting up, but I … I was paralyzed. I couldn’t move, save for my head and my face. Echtor walked slowly over to James. As he walked over, I shed one tear. Echtor pointed his sword at James and said,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ This is the end of the first son of Richard the III. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He took his sword… and James was no more.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” George shouted.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor looked at me and then said,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ I thought you were dead. Well… time to finish the job. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">George jumped up quickly before Echtor could react using the techniques we learned in strategy training. Echtor grabbed George and threw him to James’s Dead Body.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">George got up and took his father’s sword.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ THIS ENDS NOW!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He stabbed Echtor in the chest and Echtor cried out,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ What? NO…. NO!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He fell down as blood came upon the temple. Our foe was dead.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">George ran over to James and cried. I looked on, shocked that James had died. Suddenly, Echtor’s dead body rose up, with green eyes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ HAHAHAH. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I realized I was looking at the monster, who George and James had told me about.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ TONIGHT GEORGIUS… YOU SHALL LOSE ANOTHER! “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He took out a dagger and threw it. His body fell, as the Dagger came closer. I then said,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ I’ll see you soon Tomas. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">And Everything went Dark.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">-

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ CLIFTON! CLIFTON!” I shouted.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Clifton woke up, and asked me what had happened. At that moment, James was sent to the floor, too weak to fight.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Then I didn’t die… then Echtor is alive… and James isn’t dead. “ Clifton said to himself.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ JAMES!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">" Who's the weak guy now James? " Echtor taunted to him.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">After Clifton had been knocked out, James fought against Echtor. However, as we could see… he failed. I took my father’s sword and walked forward.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Oh yes… the promising Son… leader of the 3. Georgius. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ STOP THIS MADNESS NOW ECHTOR!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor growled and shouted,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NEVER!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor charged at me. I reacted by charging at him. The Two swords met each other, sparks forming from the force of the strike. The Two of us stood in one place, then quickly strikes for each other. Once again, the blades hit each other, and then I ducked down, went behind Echtor, and points the sword at him. The Villian turns around and hits the sword.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“Excellent form ... But how's your footwork?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He went for my legs, but I flipped up, dodging the sword, jumping on it, cracking the sword. I went for one of his arms but the enemy dodged it.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor twisted his rapier, and aimed for the head, but I missed the blade by an inch. Then, I went for my father’s friend turned enemy’s arm but he ducked under and kicked me in the groin. I fell to the floor, and Echtor put his blade on my throat, the flat side that doesn’t poke.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Ha… you’re nothing more than a dumb kid… and that’s all you’ll ever be. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">He then prepared to create a ball of fire, but nothing happened.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ What?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then the creature laughed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WHY DO YOU TAKE MY POWERS AWAY FROM ME?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Because Echtor… I was never going to make you my herald. You were merely one of my many pawns, like how all these Vandals are. You choose the name “ The Man in the Shadows “. Now your soul will become the shadows. Hahahah…. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">As Echtor looked up in shock, I rolled over, knocked Echtor’s sword away from him and then prepared to strike. Echtor Spit in my eye, and as I got off, he kicked me backwards.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">James woke up, and Clifton got him up. They watched as we dueled.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I tackeled Echtor, and was able to snap one of his fingers.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AHHHH!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I struck Echtor in the heart, hoping he would die, but he stood there… obviously not ready to die.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WHY WON’T YOU DIE? “ I asked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ I’ll die after I watch Rome fall. Which will be in two minutes… “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ What?” James asked.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ THE CREATURE THAT BROUGHT ME BACK FROM THE DEAD…. HE’S ABOUT TO DESTROY ROME…. AND THEN I’LL DIE. ROME WILL FALL!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ WHAT IS THE CREATURE’S NAME?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Echtor looked at me, grinning, now that the end was here.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Diagon. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, the red, bloody sky rumbled and I knew he was there. My Right arm burned really bad, and so did James’s. In the sky, two huge, villa sized red eyes appeared and there was a growling. I could see red lighting travel thru the clouds, and I knew that Echtor was about to get his wish.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ THIS… IS THE END OF ROME! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!” The monster, which now I knew was called Diagon announced as suddenly 13 lightning bolts came from the sky and hit Rome.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">They hit the ground, hitting Temples, apartments, and soldiers. As they hit the temples, the statues shook and cracked. In one temple, a statue of the Roman God Neptune cracked, and then collapsed, pieces crushing scholars. Then the Temple fell down, killing everyone and creating much smoke.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">As they hit the soldiers, they cried out in pain before becoming ashes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” one cried out as he died.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A Huge tornado appeared from the sky, sucking up citizens and soldiers. 2 Temples, a couple of Offices, a school and other buildings broke apart brick by brick, piece of marble by piece of marble before completely being destroyed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A huge earthquake began, shaking the ground. The ground which I walked on cracked apart. Some of the Lighting Bolt were so strong, a bunch of huge fires began. A few hit the small temple we were in, and nearby, causing fires. The Roof cracked, and pieces of it fell to the ground.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">At that moment, Echtor started laughing.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ HAHAHHAHAH….HAHAHHAHHAHHA…HHAHHAHHAHHH!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">As he laughed, suddenly his body started turning grey. Soon, he became dust, and flew into the wind. Thus, Echtor, the Man in the Shadows, was no more.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ He’s …. Gone. “ Clifton said.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ The Maniac that’s caused us so much pain…. Is dead. Finished at last… but we were too late. “ I replied

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Another ripple of thunder came, and we noticed that half the roof was off the temple.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ COME ON… WE HAVE TO LEAVE. “ Clifton told us.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Everyone ran with me out of the temple, as we tried to escape the fiery ruins of Rome. More lightning bolts hit the ground, causing more earthquakes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Then… our luck ran out. For we were to lose another person, a friend.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">A lightning bolt came from the sky… and hit Clifton.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” I yelled.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ AHHAHHA…AHHA….AHH…..” he cried as he was hit.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">In a bright flash, Clifton looked at us one more time… before turning grey and becoming ashes, dropping to the ground.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NO!”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Suddenly, a barbarian body, part of it with Skin and muscle, other parts only visible bone stood up. You could tell he was dead cause he had a knife stuck on the right side of his head, where the left was bone. The body suddenly shook, and the monster took over, speaking thru it.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ HAHAHAHHAHA! TOMAS IS DEAD… CLIFTON IS DEAD… YOUR FAMILY IS DEAD… AND NOW ROME HAS FALLEN. NOTHING SHALL PREVENT YOU TWO FROM JOINING ME. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ NEVER FOUL CREATURE!” I yelled.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">At that moment, James took his sword and threw it, cutting off the Barbarian’s head. The Body fell to the ground. As James went and got his sword, I took out a small bag and put Clifton’s ashes in it. When we both got together again, we looked at the sky, where we could still see the red eyes.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Creature laughed one last time, and suddenly the eyes disappeared. But the tornado, the lighting, and earthquakes stayed.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">James and I ran up to the Seven Hills of Rome as Rome itself fell into flames. Everything we had known, everything that had been…. Was gone.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">[ The Camera cuts to Camp Bellator ROMAE, La Empira and its lake, Clifton’s old home’s ruins in Florence, and Elizabeth’s House, all in the raining. Then the Camera Cuts to Richard’s Tomb. A Stalactite Suddenly shakes and then a drop of water comes from the Stalactite to the ground, a sign and symbol of Richard’s sadness…. Now that Rome has Fallen. ]

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I stood in front of our original home… the one we lived in for 12-15 years. The Place where our father said his last words to us, where we fought, where everything began.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ What now?”

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I started thinking, and knew what to say.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ We move on. “ I said, as I shut the door, leaving what once was my home.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">--

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">In another dimension, a strange alien creature in a purple and gold cloak knelled before the Shadows.

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ My Master. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">In a loud and ancient voice, a creature hidden in the Shadows said,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Speak Servant. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Master…. You have succeeded in destroying Rome. Now, the human are heading to where you shall Rise. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Perfect. It will be hundreds of years before I rise… but I am not one to worry. Soon, everything will be clear…. And I shall rule Earth. “

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The Servant smiled, as says,

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">“ Long Live the Diagon. “
