Darksiders: With war comes faith (War x oc)

Chapter XXIII

Faith's pov

I've only heard of Nex Sacramentum, but never once did I think that I would see it first-hand. The battle between War and Uriel was so vicious and I couldn't help but look on in awe; they both fight so well to the point that it could be considered a draw, but of course, it isn't possible as it was the Death Oath. Still... I can tell Uriel was training very hard for a moment like this, but it is a shame that it didn't matter; War managed to disarm her. Thus making him the winner.

"Yes... YES! What are you waiting for? Harvest this wench!" Says the Watcher as he tries to encourage War to kill her, but he didn't listen and began to walk away.

"War?! Don't you dare walk away from me!"

"The Nex Sacramentum is MINE. I decide when the angel dies. Not YOU," he said as he talked back. Even though he gets to decide on Uriel's death, I can tell that he has no interest in killing her.

"Wise words War," I said with a smile as I walked toward him.

"You swore an oath to me..." Says Uriel as she slowly got back up. And this time, without showing any fear, I walked up to her.

"Listen, Uriel, there's something that you must know. I really can't say it in any other way but... Abaddon is The Destroyer."

"Liar!"

"Take it as you will, but we only speak of the truth."

"To protect you and Faith, he kept you from the truth. You pledged to follow your Lord into Hell, never knowing what awaited you. Or what he would become." Says War as he began to explain everything else.

"...Abaddon..."

"He was betrayed and became the enemy of all creation. We've been to the Tree. Its gift was the truth. And we share it with you now. Remember the Death Oath... Soon, it must be fulfilled."

I watched on as War collected the piece of the blade, before leaving to find another one. I was just about to follow him but I turned my attention back to Uriel, who had an angry expression. But I know that there is also sadness in there. I should say something in hopes to make her feel better.

"Uriel, I know that all of this sounds hard to believe but it is the truth. Abaddon made a great mistake, but that doesn't mean that we can't fix it. Become the amazing leader that you were meant to be." I say to her in my usual soft tone, but she didn't say anything and took off into the skies. Hopefully to get everything ready for the battle. And there's a lot of work that needs to be done on my end as well.

We did it, we have found all of the pieces for the Armageddon Blade. Now all that's left is to go and visit Ulthane and have it restored once more.

"War, do you think that Ulthane can help us?" I asked him as we walked through the green landscape.

"He better, if he knows what's best for him," he says. When we arrive at his home, I could still hear the sound of a hammer working away. There's no telling how this talk will go.

"Ulthane!" I called out and greeted him at the same time. He didn't turn his attention to us though.

"Good to see you again, Angel and Horseman."

"Good to see you as well, but we did not come here for small talk," I said to him as War placed the pieces of the blade on the anvil.

"My greatest work..." He says while picking up the broken handle, and I can't imagine how he must be feeling to see it again, especially with the state it's in.

"Until now," War says and Ulthane turned his attention to him. He didn't say anything, but only nodded and began to fix it. Me and War watched on in silence as the blade was slowly getting put back together. As it was being repaired, my head began to hurt. It was so bad, so painful that I fall to my keens, and it certainly didn't go unnoticed.

"Faith! What's wrong?!" War asked with worry as he keeled down beside me.

"I don't know! My head, it's like it's just been stabbed! I don't-"

Just when I could say anything else, I started to see things. It's almost like visions, yet they are memories. It was when the Seals were being shattered, but then it all changed to the Seventh Seal. And then I saw... me? As the pain was starting to calm down, I slowly got back on my feet and I began to remember more. The Final Seal... was...

"Faith?"

"I'm okay War." I say as my eyes never left the Blade. And then, it was finally finished. I've only ever heard of the Armageddon Blade from the stories, so seeing it for the first time in person... It's truly something else

"It is time, War," I said to him. His eyes have never left the now complete blade, knowing that his mission is now coming to an end.

"Come Faith. We must return to Azrael," he says while walking out of the forge. I gave a quick thank you to Ulthane and left as well, and began our way back to the Ashlands.

"Brother Azrael!" I called out to him but he was looking at something in the sky. Curious as to what had his attention, I to looked up, only to see faint lights.

"Is that..."

"It's Abaddon. Uriel has lead the Hellguard against him. It is as you both foretold. The Hellguard will fall."

So Uriel actually did it, she chose to fight against the man that she trusted and believed in after so many aeons of service. I was a little worried at first... Wondering if she even believed in what we said to her... That part alone was one of my main concerns. But if she and the Hellguard are up there, then she is willing to take the chance. I can only hope that she doesn't die up there.

"You ready War?" I asked him

"Yes, and I have waited for too long."

"Good. Let's kill Abaddon, and get your justice." I said. He didn't respond with words but only nodded, turning his attention back to Azrael while having the Armageddon Blade at the ready.

"Angel of Death -- serve us one last time."
