War's pov

The scene changes to the Third kingdom of mankind, what's left of it that is. what once was one of the busiest places in the world now lays in ruin, the streets are empty with dust and ash in the air and buildings destroyed and still standing by a thread. Within the sky, more meteors began to fall but one, I have landed in a deserted building and creating a crater in the process.

"Looks like our trajectory was a little off," said the Watcher. Not wanting to put up with him I began to move forward, but Watcher didn't take my attitude very lightly.

"Not so fast, horseman." As he raised his hand a blue seal and began to tamper with the bound. This brought great pain to me as I started to grunt while falling to my keens while using my blade for support.

"Let's lay down a few ground rules. Until this is over, you're a dog on a leash. If I say bark, you bark. And if I have to kick you, you'd better not bare your teeth. Understand? Or should I teach you to play dead?" Watcher said as he stared at the me with its six eyes. It frustrated me greatly as this thing was pushing my buttons, usually, he would give such pest like the Watcher a severe death but the Council themselves has aside Watcher to keep an eye on me. For now, I shall put up with Watcher till the end of my mission.

Without saying a word I got back up and continues forward and not evening bothering with Watcher. I've made my way out of the crater and made my way through the building with the bodies of humans lying everywhere then suddenly they got up and slowly makes their way to me, if I wish to continue, I'll have to kill off the walking dead of mankind. After killing a large number of walking corpses and demons, I've have come across a hole that's looking out into the empty streets but in the background was a massive tower that no human could ever make.

"How long was I gone?"

"In earth years? About a century. Long enough for the last of the mouth-breathers to die off," Watcher said as he answered my question.

"Then...the Thrid kingdom is lost..." I said while while looking out of the ruins of the Third kingdom. Have I really been gone for a century, the humans are gone and the demons are ruling the earth now but there is one thing that worries me, what became of Faith. Suddenly the building began to shake, not wanting to be caught within falling rubel so I jumped in the air and landed in the street as it filled the air with an echo. For anyone who would be nearby could easily hear it.

"War!"

Before I could continue to seek Vulgrim a voice had called out to me. It was so haunting yet very familiar to me, as it brought my movement to a halt. Then a figure landed in front of me with familiar pair of wings, hair and eyes; it was Faith and the only different thing is what she warning which has shocked me greatly. What once was the Hellguard armour is now a dress with elegant golden designs, a golden waist like blet, a neckless and golden bangles.

"Faith?" 

"Greetings War, it's been a while," she said to me with a smile.

"It has...Faith, what are you warning?" I asked her with genuine curiosity.

"Oh, this? Don't worry about it, that's a story for another time," she said while trying to reassure me.

I didn't say anything else but I knew that I shouldn't worry it since it's Faith. Though I will admit, I couldn't help but stare at her. Never once in my life have I stopped and wondered on what she would look like underneath the armour but he never guesses that she could look like this, but that's not important right now.

"Now then War, what brings you back to the Third kingdom."

"I've come to seek Vulgrim."

"Vulgrim? The demon merchant? Well, you wouldn't need to go far to seek him." As soon as Faith said that, an evil like laugh can be heard before a voice began to speak.

"Subtle. I almost didn't hear you coming," said a grey demon as it appears beside me. Much like any other demon, it also has wings but it was covered in wrappings as well as its body, and its waist was covered with scrolls. It even had large horns and was slightly hunched. Faith was right, I didn't need to go far since the demon I was looking for, came to me.

"Vulgrim."

(That's Faith up the top and I don't own the picture!)
