The Son of Ghost Rider

The Trial For Life

Dylan Blaze P.O.V
I don't know where i am. The darkness has enveloped me, pressing in from all sides. Suffocating me. Smoke and low hanging fog spin around me. I look around yet can barley make out the shadowy landscape before me.

The ground was grey. The air was musty. The sky was red and there were deadned looking trees spaced across the place.

I don't know where i am.

"Rider you have come."

I look to see a hooded figure standing before me. I couldn't make out any features but I could tell it was a woman.

"Who are you?" I ask in desperation of some explanation.

"I am an incorruptible force my dear boy...I am death."

"I died" I choke out.

"Yes and no Dylan, you see you have the choice to return to the mortal realm. But you must accomplish a task of great importance."

"What is it!" I practically yell.

"You must defeat the demon rider and claim your immortality. The mortal world is in danger from more than you think."

"So if I beat this guy I can go back to the land of the living? But I'll be immortal?" I ask gruffly.

"Indeed"

"What danger is the mortal world in?" I question.

"He is coming to claim the souls of the innocent...the devil and his army."

I am shocked by what i have just heard but it stiffened my resolve. I feel my skin burn and smoke away as i transformed into the Ghost Rider.

I nod at death and she holds out her pale hand. The ground cracks open and lava spews every where. A fireball flies out of the chasm and lands in front of me. A huge skeletal figure with flaming wings, razor sharp fangs and horns stands before me.

"RAAAAARRRRR"

The battle begins i dive out of the way of his massive fist and punch it in the face. To no effect it simply enraged the beast. It grabbed me by the neck and threw me forty feet into the air. I fell to the ground with a thud.

I groaned and stood up. The monster charged at me but I was ready. As he ran i slid acros the ground and kicked his feet out from under him.

He crashed to the ground with a sickibg crunch. Yet he didn't stop. He simply roared and stood back up. Ready to fight me.

I grabbed my chain and flung it at the demon rider. The chain wrapped around it's feet. I pulled and sent him back to the ground. His jaws openedand bright blue flames eruped from him dousing me in its heat.

When the blue flames disappeared the beast towered over me. Before I could react it back handed me and knocked me a few feet away.

How could i defeat this behemoth? Was it even a possibility? I have to try. I gritted my teeth and got back to my feet. I could hear the demon rider running at me. I waited when he got close enough i closedmy fist and rammed it into his chest throwing him to the ground.

I walk over and place my foot onto his chest. It looks into my firey eyes and i see nothing but pure, unadulterated evil staring back at me. There was only one option.

"Look into my eyes." I growl. The beast stares transfixed unable to look away. "Your soul is stained with the blood of the innocent...feel their torment." I could see his demonic life searing away, it roared in pain but i had no mercy left to give to such a foul aberation.

Within moments the demon riders flames died out and all that was left was an empty husk. I kicked him over and walked away.

Not far from where the battle took place death stood waiting.

"You did a remarkable job removing that demon from purgatory. He has been tormenting any poor soul that passes by. Hopefully any who come shall find peace."

I nod in agreement. I watch as her pale hand reaches forward. She strokes my jaw bone and i feel a warmth flow through me that had nothing to do with the flames.

"You may return to earth as an immortal my child. But i say this. You have the power to grant one other immortality. Someone who will share your path of righteousness. So chose wisely Dylan."

I nod again and in a flash of white light i disappear from that horrid place. And wake up...in a coffin...great.
