as crane succumbed to his injuries a strange spectrum of lights emerged from the monolith consuming the body of crane
"where am i am i dead ? is this the after life?"
"far from it "
"who said that ?"
"i have many names but you can call me knull"said the dark demonic voice
"alright knul mind telling me where the hell am i and why should i care about your name ?
"all in due time my child for now all you need to know that this is a place between dimensions where the rules of the universe don't apply, the abyss!"
"let me just stop you there this is impressive and all but you still haven't answered me why am i not dead ?"
"you're chosen"
"chosen?,chosen for what exactly?"
" chosen to be my champion,chosen to find the dark seals and break them"
"don't mind me asking but you seem powerful and all,why cant you do it your self "
"I've been imprisoned in this realm,my powers here are limited,that's why i need to free me from my shackles and restore my former glory"
"sure ill free the mysterious ominous creature that i know nothing about"
" i was a powerful god worshiped by many but one day my traitorous brother and sister rebelled on me forcing me to live in chains"
"that's sad i'm really sorry for yo,a single tear dropped from my eye right now but whats in it for me?"
"your world i can bring your precious humans and planet back"
"what? you're lying nothing can bring back the dead"
"look around you !what do you think happened to you?, your soulless body is lying down in the snow ,being eating by my creatures,how do you think a dead planet is suddenly alive, that's what i do my child i bring back live, what do think that kept you alive this long, you have a purpose and you'll free me "
"what do you want me to do?" said crane in a calm voice
"find the six seals and destroy them,free me from my chains and you'll be rewarded "
"how do i find them?"
"you've already stumbled upon one of them on this planet, destroy it and it will lead you to the others "
"the monolith!, but why me of all people,why pick a weak human and why now after a hundred and fifty years of pain anger and pure hell"
" your questions will be answered all in due time, go my champion fulfill your destiny, but before you return from the dead i have a gift for you ha ha ha..."
as knull laughed in dark twisted voice crane felt angry,no more than anger rage and wrath of a thousand damned souls his body was covered in flames consuming him
"whats happening to i'm burning but it doesn't hurt this must be what knull meant by a gift "
the heat emitting from cranes body was so immense burning the creatures around him and setting the whole area ablaze crane grinned before punching the monolith,destroying it with little to no effort before putting out the flames
"oh this is going to be fun!,arcane arcane are you there,"
"sir is that you ? its impossible your vital signals are unusual"
"yes its me alive and kicking"
Mira :"crane? crane is that really you ? you'were dead"
" i was long story ill tell you when i'm on the ship"
"the creatures how did you kill them?"
"its a part of the same long story,just don't worry about it for now i told you i survived worse"
ok knull said that the next seal location should be known after braking this one but i have a feeling it wont be that easy
"arcane scan the monolith area for patters or any thing out of the ordinary"
" sir the only thing that's not normal is you,your D.N.A is all twisted "
"we'll do a scan once we're on the ship for now keep looking for patterns"
"sir the rocks the shattered parts of the monolith they resemble a map for a solar system m on the other side of the galaxy it looks like a map to dorvor "
"that's not so bad god knows i could use some sun light, dorvor has some nice beaches and amazing weather "
"alright set course to valaxa first we have to return Mira and get the medical pod ready lets see what i have become, i have a feeling that my life is only gonna get harder past this point "
somewhere on the edges of the universe
a guy talking to a mysterious figure on a throne: "my lord sorry for bothering you, the first seal someone broke it "
" this is bad my brother cant be freed"
