The Darker Side of Life

Old Friend

            "Arch-Angel. I thought I lost you." I said to the Golden Retriever that was flying above using magical wings. They are like my tentacles, except made of light. I grabbed out Grimwraith, and charged. He grabbed an axe. We clashed, sparks flying. I used my tentacles to knock his axe out of his paw. I grabbed him, but he had a spear. He knocked my arm off.

            "You thought you could win." He said, grinning. "Well, I won Hu-" My arm punched his side, causing him to be sent flying.

            "You were saying?" I said, pinning him down. My arm reattached itself, and I grinned menacingly. "Brother." 

            The pups' mouths were agape. I got off The Arch-Angel and put my sword away. Archie (my nickname for Arch-Angel) put his angel wings away. His body was that of an Irish Creme Golden Retriever. His eyes were a sky blue, a white streak going down his back.

            "There is absolutely no way you guys are related." Everest said, doubt in her voice. 

            "We have the same father. A Dire wolf." I proclaimed, earning looks that you would give a deceiver.

            "They're extinct. You're lying." Chase accused, which made Archie look in horror. I decided to prove it. I clawed my chest open, drove my arm into my chest, and ripped out my soul. It was a black heart. It ominously glowed, yet it was black. They looked shocked, like, really shocked. My body turned into a skeleton. 

            "Y0u se3. 1 am @ D1r3w01f." I tried saying. but my body cannot comprehend anything without my soul. No speech, taste, touch. The only exception is hearing, which I still have not figured out. "@ny qu3$t10ns?" They did not understand. " ! $@!D @NY QU3$T!0NS?" Before I could do anything, Ella grabbed my soul, and shoved it back into my chest, and I blacked out.

            "Ughh. My head. The heck happened?" I said with a pain in my voice. My chest felt as a katana sliced through me. I realized I was in that parlor from before. I got up, and realized my prosthetic was missing. No one was in the room. I looked around until I found my arm. I put it on and went outside. I saw that there was an army of 50,000 in the streets. I used Identify and found out they were a combination of Chaos Insurgency and Church of the Broken God. They were marching towards that bridge that connects the mainland to the Lookout. I loaded an M72 LAW and fired. The bridge collapsed with one shot. I ran out of Adventure Bay and called Dr. Bright.
