On the other side

On the other side of the door lay a room that may have been a sight of awe at some point or another, now crumbled pillars that appeared to be greatly aged marble pillars, among other things littered around the now destroyed room.

In the center, lay two thrones with nothing else, a circle of light rained down from the now destroyed stained glass window in the background to the center of the room.

No sooner did they approach the thrones did they hear the voices two people.

"Good morning you two, how did you sleep?"  A male voice resonated through the hall, in the throne on the left a ghostly figure of a man appeared.

"er.." Gabriel looked up at the phantasmal figure.

"hopefully well" a female voice resonated as well, as did she appear on the other throne.

"and you are?" Shadow inquired 

"Probably here to kill us too, right?" Gabriel stated.

"oh no.." the female replied.

"we are, or where the king and queen, rulers of this land a land from long ago." The male smiled.

"It's been what, nineteen years?" She replied.

"On the day of your birth, our kingdom fell apart" the male chuckled.

"er..." Shadow looked at Gabriel.

"Yes, Shadow, Gabriel" She looked at them with a grin.

"You are our children, when you where born we where at war, a war that we'd never expected to come."

"A war of titanic creatures, magic, warriors, nothing from our kingdom survived but we fought valiantly" She stated.

"but.." Gabriel tried to speak.

"You're wondering, why nothing makes sense" the king interjected.

"We put you in a room with the memory of Issac, the strongest warrior this kingdom had, Issac was also not of this world, he offered the idea up." the queen looked at the king.

"Though we where skeptical at first, Issac assured us the memory would eventually end and force you to wake up, the memory was of his time in a different realm."

"We allowed him to seal you in a memory in the tower of trial, protected by the crystal blood demons and the hall of broken reality, and beyond that the tower they resided in was protected by a magic so powerful not even the titans could destroy it." 

"A tower, Issac created to protect you two" 

The king smiled.

"Why did the kingdom fall if Issac was truly so powerful" Gabriel grunted.

"On the day the titans attacked, Issac vanished." the queen frowned.

"We understood, there was something of greater need" the king frowned as well.

"And what of Terra and Saria" Shadow bellowed

"Are they but a memory of people from a different realm?!" 

"that seems unlikely" the queen smiled.

"How so?" Gabriel had a puzzled look on his face.

"Issac, not once in his travels mentioned anyone by those names and he explained everything to us when he randomly plummeted through the roof of the castle, he fell with such force that he fell through the ceiling and cracked the very ground you're standing on."

"He said, at the end of his fight in that realm the man he pursued to stop from destroying that realm ended up here, but he had successfully started the bitter end of that reality and thus he opened the portal and as he did the bitter end struck him into it"
