Harbinger's Journey: The Son of Death's Adventures

Chapter 4: Revelation

The farther we got, the more barren and lifeless the environment became. And then, we began to find bodies...HUMANOID bodies. "Who could've done this...?" I was in complete shock. "There are many evils in every dimension...even this one." I knew he had seen this before. The dimension he resides in was in complete and utter disarray and was in absolute destruction, due to corrupt and evil beings that threatened to enslave his world.

"This is still unbelievable...unforgivable." I was disgusted. Not by the bodies, but the fact there were so many of them...and that the one who killed them didn't even have a second thought. "We need to keep moving." He too was focused on the task at hand, and we moved forward. Once we moved forward a bit more, we had found what seemed to be some sort of journal next to one of the bodies. 

"What's in this...?" I had begun to look through it. I found one page that had me in shock and disbelief: It said "We have yet to find the Being of Calamity...if this guy is as strong as they say, they might as well have said this was a suicide mission..." And beneath the statement was a picture...a picture of ME. I was wearing a robe where it's primary color is red, outlined by gold, and it's secondary is a deep black. "It...It can't be...Th-This is...Me?!" I couldn't believe it.

"I don't know how...It has to be...But...How could it be you?" He was just as shocked as I was. "My eyes...They...They're just aflame with depravity...But...That's not me. That can't be!" My head was spinning. "Harbinger...You may have been like this in the past...But...You aren't like that anymore. You're a good person now." It was almost too much to process. "But...All of this...The barren lifelessness of this plain...The countless dead bodies...The blood...The gore...It...It was all me!" My eyes began to well with tears from the insurmountable guilt I was experiencing.

"Come on...we need to keep moving." He had began to walk again, but I couldn't move an inch; I was like a statue. "Harbinger...We have to keep going. The longer we stay here, the more likely the chance Azric is dead." I began to move, but the same shocked, guilty expression was still imprinted on my face.
