Tale of the Twilight Warriors

Chapter 27: The dawn of a new world

Thaddious and Issac struck each other vigorously, neither bled nor did the intensity of the fight die down, Saria wait around on a patch of green Issac had made for her, Terra waited as well.

They gathered up and hugged each other, but said nothing as tears ran down each of their faces, they only watched the seemingly impossible battle in the sky. Issac surrounded Thaddious in a magic that crushed him in mid-air, slamming him into the earth at the same time Thaddious  had soaked Issac in blood that spiked inwards than outwards violently forcing him to the ground, every time they lashed out at each other the earth shook, the air pushed violently at the party.

 "Can you not see the errors of your ways, Thaddious?" Issac frowned

"I care not, I will bring mother and father back, we will be a family again, I will create and rule over a new world just with them" he grunted.

"They don't want to come back" Issac retorted.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, OF COURSE THEY DO" Thaddious screamed as he struck Issac violently casting him several feet away.

"No, or else they'd have taken my offer up a long time ago" Issac grinned.

Blood ran from his face, Thaddious writhed in agony as a battle went on inside his head.

"What are you.." Thaddious cried out

"I'm the guardian of the soul, I've got more power than any natural being because I am the reason balance lay within the souls of all" Issac smiled

"So I can't beat you?!" Thaddious screamed

"EVEN WITH ALL THIS POWER" He screamed again, smashing Issac into the ground.

"No, the only two that even have a chance are Shadow and Gabriel, and thats because they have more power contained within them than I could ever dream of, it's just untapped and they have to work it out themselves" Issac grinned.

Upon finishing that statement Thaddious appeared behind Shadow and Gabriel who stood watching the spectacle, they were quick to pull their swords but were quickly smashed into the ground by a dark energy, Issac appeared in front of Thaddious and grinned sadistically. "I recommend you not do that, I want a successor or two"

Thaddious spat, as a sword appeared in front of Issac "I suppose this is it than" Issac chuckled.

He drove the sword deep into Thaddious's chest, the runes in the blade exploded surrounding Thaddious in crystal, sealing his soul and rendering him unconscious. 

"Hey you two, don't worry about him anymore, I bound him inside his own mind, now he has to deal with the rithing of every soul within him until Death comes and collects him.. which may never happen" Issac chuckled.

"What even happened" Terra stared in awe.

"Oh, you, you're that girl Shadow likes, yeah you seem fit, you guys are going to be wonderful together, let me give you some power like he has!" He touched Terras forehead, "oh, you too Saria" he chuckled, she was tired but relieved to see that Gabriel was well.

"What'd you even do?" Shadow inquired.

"untapped their potential, it seems they were also born of guardian blood, their souls were sealed pretty violently, maybe that's why they're attracted to you guys, generally children of guardians only recognize another guardians child as an aspect of hierarchy its odd how it works but generally its how it goes" Issac grinned

"Thank you two, you've helped me so much" Issac looked at Gabriel and Shadow.

A tear ran down his face.

"You four need to go home" Issac smiled, "Gather round" he stated.

They vanished away into a silver mist, appearing at Shadow and Gabriel's hometown, "I have to go for now, but if you ever need help or want to learn more... come to the most beautiful place in the world, I live there" Issac smiled and vanished in a flash of silver mist.

"What even happened..?" Saria asked.

"Welcome home?" Gabriel looked at Shadow

"Haha, yeah!" Shadow chuckled back.

"This is so confusing!" Terra yelled.

Shadow and Gabriel went on pretending to ignore what they said for a moment just chuckling and reminiscing on their long journy, an old man walked into the room and interrupted them.

"Shadow.. Gabriel!" He smiled

"We're home." They replied with tears in their eyes.

Outside the city was bustling with cheer, everyone was dancing, everything seemed to have returned to its regular status, the town had gained a few numbers and rose through to great prosperity, ruled under two kings and two queens for a long while though the sky remained scarred by the two absolutely insane powers. The air however, seemed to remain stuck in twilight forever, forever lost in the swirling spiral of time.
