I don't know if it was a dream or a message or a reminder... But every good deed I have done in my life started to flash in my head, even the ones that happened before I came here, It finally stopped and all I could see was Excalibur in all it's greatness... With darkness around it.

Magnificent isn't it? Said a voice in my head that I recognised to be Zoreb's

"Yes it is"

I watched as Excalibur divided into two

These are the sun and moon blades each blade carries only 45% of Excalibur's true strength. You see... Double wielding is a very fast way of fighting but doesn't impact as much damage as a fusion sword, but the problem with a fusion sword is that its not as fast as double wielding.

"I understand... But why you giving me a sword education"

Maybe because I want you to win Vincent, to end something I never had the heart to finish off myself, to destroy my children... Or as you know them... The sacred four.

"Your children?"

They were my first creation on this world... I made them to help me, to love me, to be my legacy... But they ended up shaming me and causing harm on the world. But enough with that... I need you to help me end them, they've had this coming a long time ago... Enough... Go forth.

I wake up on my bed in my room in a change of clothes, that Zoreb guy is a master in weird conversations... 'I'm almighty but I'm getting emotional so I'll send you away'... But still... The stuff he told me about the swords... It gave me an idea and I need Joshua to do it.

Me and Joshua walked far from the rest on our walk to the shrine to fight the beast and take down the sacred four, Joshua was kinda off since yesterday... He was head strong about being dark yesterday, but when he thought I died he almost peed himself... I'm happy that he isn't as evil as he tries to be... But he is strong... Really strong. We left the house kind of late so that when we got there... It'll be night. I look back to see Anna with a scared look. I walk back to meet her.

"Anna, you okay?" I don't know how many times I've asked her that particular question.

"No Vincent, I'm not... I'm scared, terrified of the outcome of today... That you will..." She couldn't finish her sentence, a tear runs down her cheek.

"I'm not going anywhere Anna..."

"Vincent... I lo..."

"We're here" said Joshua interrupting Anna... Was she going to say what I think she was going to say... It doesn't matter.

I rush into the building and found no trace of the wolf or the sacred four... In fact... It looked like no body has been here in years.

"Vincent... Come check this out" yelled Joshua from afar, he was in a room and I just hoped the red on the walls were paint... I saw a pile of corpse further into the room, hundreds of dead people... The beast... This was evil... This was horrific... So many lives, wasted.

"Vince... Bro, I think I've found what we are looking for" said Apsychos from behind the corpse... The smell was horrible, but I stomached it to get past... There was a door behind it, they used the smell of the corpse to keep people away. We proceeded and the moment we all passed through the door, it had disappeared behind us, in front of us was a cave like terrain, it was rocky... It seemed that the door was a portal, the moon was beautiful and glittered, it was probably Zoreb watching from afar.

A few howls were heard and the occasional growls... We stopped walking when we met a cliff, then the people I hated with every fibre of my being appeared before me... Levitating behind the cliff... The sacred four... "It was about time... Father finally ratted us out" said the wizard with the fiery axe tattoo.
