Remnant's Protectors

Tale Of Two Beings

Ozzy POV

Dos: "After that... we fought like hell. But it tore through us like paper. It was a bloodbath. I only survived because I played dead. When it got done with us it fled into my world. What it's doing... I can only imagine."

I look down in shock. I heard tales of powerful people from grandad. But holy crap.

Ember: "Any idea who or what this figure is?"

Creator: "Yes."

Axel: "You oaky Ozzy?"

Ozzy: "Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?"

Lily: *points* "Your hand's bugging out."

I look to see my hand forcibly tapping the table I'm sitting on. That's when I wince upon feeling something in my head.

Ember: "What's wrong?"

Ozzy: "My head. Feels like the worst migraine in my life."

Creator: "Oh no."

The lights flicker. When they come back on that figure Dos described can be seen. They look at Creator, narrowing their eyes.

???: "You."

Creator: "You should not be here."

???: "We both know that's not true. I'm exactly where I need to be."

Zander: "We need to bail."

???: "None of you are going anywhere."

Suddenly Dos steps between us.

Ember: "What're you doing?"

Dos: "I'll keep this thing busy while y'all flee."

Chase: "You're suicidal."

Dos: "I've likely lost my world already. So I've got nothing to lose."

???: "If the man wishes to die. I will happily fulfill his request."

Ozzy: "No one's killing anybody. We-"

Creator: "I'll prepare a portal."

I stare at him.

Ozzy: "Are you insane? We can't just-"

Iron: "Shut up and get ready to run."

Dos rushes at the figure. I can only stare as he rushes head first into death. Our surroundings then suddenly change to an all white area. I stare at Creator.

Ozzy: "How the hell could you just leave him?"

Creator: "It was his choice. I can not interfere with other's choices."

Ozzy: "We've could've at least helped him!"

Creator: "It would've been in vain."

Everyone else now looks at him.

Ember: "What do you mean?"

Creator: "You wouldn't have stood a chance. He's too powerful."

Axel: "I think it's time you filled us in on who this new foe is."

Creator: "His name is Noctis. And he is my brother."

Our eyes widen.

Lily: "You have family?"

Creator: "I use the term brother loosely. In reality, we're so similar that one could assume we're brothers. We're more or less two sides of the same cosmic coin."

He snaps his fingers. Two figures appear. One of light, the other of pure darkness. The figure of light has a halo and golden heart in its chest. The figure of darkness has a twisted toothy smile with haunting crimson eyes.

Creator: "Long ago. Long before time even had a meaning, there were two beings. One represented good and everything it stood for. Love, empathy, happiness... creation."

Chase: "You."

He merely hmms.

Creator: "The other represented evil and all it stood for. Hatred, callousness, discontentment... destruction. These two forces hated each other. For eons they battled, but neither side won. Till one day, a winner was finally decided."

The figure of darkness fades into smoke.

Creator: "The figure of evil was banished outside known existence. Forced to watch as good forged life. Life that would spiral into the known multiverse."

Zander: "How does this tie to Noctis?"

Creator: "That being of evil... is Noctis."
