Aphmau's PoV

I hugged Alina tightly as I saw the half Devils lunge at the dragon berserkers? Why are they here? They're meant to be preparing for the shadow Knights right? Travis was knocked back by Alduin but was immediately slashed across the face by Gold. He was then booted in the face. The sword-wielding stranger charged at Visenyer, sword raised above his head. He brought it down, the woman barely blocking the attack.
"You even think about hurting my daughter, you face me!" The stranger shouted, blade sending sparks to fly.
"Are you not aware that your daughter could bring upon the end times? Or are you really that stubborn Aaron of Falconclaw." Visenyer then scratched the hood away, leaving only the ragged remains of it. Revealing.......Aar.....
Aph. If you don't feel comfortable with speaking about this incident, please inform me I won't force you. Dragon Knight can't force me to wittle out all of the details, I'm only the keeper of archives that's it. I don't force people into speaking. No...its...its...fine.....just memories of what happened in between us.
You were lovers. If what the others have told me are true. Then this must have been hard on you.
Can-can we continue? I rather not remember the past...its painful...
Of course. Continue.

Revealing Aaron. My mind didn't believe he was there, because of the imps that had tricked me countless times with his form, though my heartbeat immediately went ten times its original pace. I could see the dark haired turquoise eyed boy immediately stop dead in his tracks, his expression going from hardened to vulnerable. His sword went limp in his hands, barely mouthing the words "Papa." Aaron gritted his teeth before kicking the woman in the chest and sending her flying into the wall. I could see Katelyn rallying the Jury of wolves who immediately piled on top of her. Alduin roared, transforming into his dragon/wyvern form and shouting the words "FUS ROH DAH!!!" Almost immediately a powerful gust of wind knocked all of them off, scattering them almost a horrible screech filled my ears. It was like when you stop a cart at top speed, that type of noise. I looked up and saw a thin red imp lo-o-oking creature, holding a crude axe over my head. I closed my eyes and used my body in attempt to shield Alina, though the blow never came. Instead a clang of metal met my ears as I opened my eyes to see Dragon using his circular shield to shield me, the axe not even making a scratch on the surface. He jammed his sword into its chest as the wolf pounced on top of the creature, ripping its head off his body. Dragon looked panicked, something had gone terribly wrong. "Brotherhood of Steel! There's a breach in the wall, locate it and defend it! That is an order!" Dragon shouted into a black box with a weird black stick sticking out from the top. Aph, that's what the Spartans call a radio. Used to communicate over long distances. Oh...oh...okay...anyway, another voice was heard on the radio. "Captain! Tango 5 o'clock!" Almost immediately a shot whistled through the air, striking a demon with large stony arms stone dead. Alduin roared once more as Viserion opened his blue eyes. Viserion screeched in anger, shattering the now brittle chains and charging towards towards Alina. Dragon was frozen into his place in fear, I once again attempted to defend Alina by using my body as a shield. Suddenly Katelyn appeared to the side, slamming her fist repeatedly into its side. It made a monstrous noise as it breathed ice over Katelyn, leaving only her head unfrozen. "A 'bhuaidh a dh'fhaodadh a bhith ann. Ged a b 'urrainn dhut adhbhar a thoirt dhomh a bhith a' bleitheadh, chan eil mòran air sin a dhèanamh." (Such wasted potential. Though you were able to cause me to bleed, not many have done that.) His icy tail traced across her face slowly, then aimed it straight at her chest. I screamed, trying to call out to anyone who could save us. There was an inhuman roar as a dragon with green and gold scales leapt forward and swiped its claw across Viserion's face, batting him away from Katelyn. It's fire was a dark green as it breathed fire all over Viserion, forcing the massive dragon backwards. But before Viserion could attack back, Gold launched forwards clawing at the eye which had an arrow sticking out of it. Viserion roared out in pain, shaking his head in an attempt to dislodge the half devil. Soon though he flapped his great wings, causing Gold to fall down onto his back and took to the skies. The others soon followed, but not after a terrifying exchange in between Alduin and Damon. Finally the battle was over, and we had came out alive but not unscathed. Many of the legionnaires had burn scars or gashes on their arms, some had broken bones or had just simply passed out. Aaron was standing among the flames, they didn't seem to burn him and he flickered in and out. He turned his head to look over to me, I saw his eyes go wide. I was temped to run over to him, though my body refused to move out of pure exhaustion. He moved towards me, dropping his sword and rushing towards me. He dropped to his knees as he wrapped his arms around me, they felt cold; like the icy touch of death. Though his voice was exactly as I remembered it. "Aph...I'm so sorry."
I was tempted to hug him back, though I only rested my head on his shoulder, sobbing quietly. I remembered what Garroth had told me about this place. Those who are barred from hell as they are refused from heaven end up on the island of the dead, there they have to fight everyday just to hope to live the next day. And if they die a second time there, they'll be forgotten forever. And those who survive there long enough just become one of the demons that infest the island. It's always a lose-lose situation. Only true heroes and warriors don't turn...including those who have the bloodline of Shad.... I cried into his shoulder as he hugged me closer. I could hear another pair of footsteps in the dried earth, I looked up to see the boy with the purple sword, standing dead still in disbelief. Tears were flowing freely from his eyes though he made no noise of crying like a child should. Instead he dropped to his knees and lay his head on the man's back. That was until I heard a howl in the distance. I looked up in panic, thinking that it was the pack of wolves who had attacked me days maybe weeks ago. A dire wolf with dark grey fur and red eyes bounded onto of one of the crumbling walls. It howled up towards the blood red moon before cautiously approaching us. When it was about two yards off it transformed into a male who looked just like Aaron though he wore plated armour on his torso and his upper legs and had a short sword sheathed in its holster as well as a black katana strapped to his back. He had a pair of steel coloured white tipped ears and a similar coloured tail that swiped left to right. He had grey coloured eyes with red flecks in them. "Brother. Please explain why you are hugging that woman?" His voice was gruff however it held concern. The boy looked up and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Uncle Josh!" The boy jumped into the man's arm who hugged him tight. (Welcome Ultimawerewolf1214 to the island of the dead)
"Jacob! Thank the divine, you survived!" The man laughed, roughing up Jacob's hair. Jacob's hug tightened, tears now started to fall even faster now. Josh seemingly winced in pain and I noticed that his armour had been punctured and dented by something. I could only guess it had been Zane and his guards. Josh looked over at me, sniffing the air. He pointed a finger at Alina.
"Scent is just like Aaron's. Brother! What in the nine circles did you do?" Josh pulled Aaron off me and hoisted him into the air with both arms, his eyes suddenly went Crimson red. Aaron chuckled quietly, prying Josh's fingers off him. "Am I not allowed to have relationships after your death?" He asked dropping down from his brother's tight grip.
"You are the older brother! Proud Lord of Falconclaw! You can't go round having kids every two f'ing seconds!"
"Falconclaw is gone! Zane killed everyone that we ever cared about! They were the ones who opened up my heart after everything that happened!" Aaron snapped back, shocking me with his sudden anger. Josh drew his short sword and I was surprised to see that the blade was made from water, sea water more accurately. He pulled on a helmet that had been clipped to his belt and placed in over his head.
