Final Knight

Afterlife Conflict

Somewhere...

"Prince Arcanic request our help to aid the light once again to fight against the underworld's chaos. Those who volunteer may stay in place, those who don't, may leave this area." Said Dzaych.

One by one, everyone began to left the room, Dzaych's face seems disappointed, but proud for those who stay. Afar, Al'ritch and Fallheim entered the room, Dzaych greeted them and told them about Arcanic's plan, which they knew already.

"I thought you're talking to Jibhril." Said Fallheim.
"It's not easy... The light doesn't even want to open up a path for us." Said Dzaych.
"Perhaps... Someone can convince them." Said Al'ritch.
"What are you talking about ?" Ask Fallheim.
"Remember, I'm the guardian of the souls, I'm tasked to keep the souls who entered the underworld. For those who commit sins on their life, pass to the blazing flame, those who commit good, may pass to the heaven." Said Al'ritch.
"You're talking about our old leader, are you ?" Ask Dzaych.
"Yes... Perhaps they can~" Said Al'ritch, as Dzaych interrupted.
"No... Their business is done. They don't have any part in the world anymore." Said Dzaych.
"He's right... And anyway, why are people leaving this room ?" Ask Fallheim.
"I asked if they wanted to take part to help the light, those who don't may leave the room." Said Dzaych.

Hearing so, Fallheim stepped forward to a platform. He asked the remaining people to stay in the room to hear his speech.

"We, are the darkness. We, are the god's creation. We, are superior. For decades we've been battling against the light. But remember, one brave angel stepped up and solve the problem by creating peace between us and the light. That time, we felt the true peace. We must remember what they've done for us, for them ! We must remember their struggle to finish what it seems impossible. For years they've tried to hold this peace, and where are we ? Where are we, when they need us ? Where are we, when they struggling to defend it ? Remember my fellowships ! We are created by the god, to live under the rule, we live under the god's order, and that is to live beside the light, to create balance to the universe ! Now, the world is at danger, near destruction. We're here, asking deep down in your souls, to take part in this battle. Let us again convince ourselves ! That we can create that peace once again ! Let us prove our leader, that their struggle is not redundant ! Let us prove to the whole universe, that the darkness, can be good !" Fallheim shouts with excitement.

People immediately shouting what it seems to be a battlecry, one by one they stand bravely in front of Fallheim and the others. Dzaych looked at Fallheim with excitement, knowing his speech worked as intended.

"Now fellow warriors ! Prepare yourself ! As we, the darkness, will join the light to push back the underworld's army to their place !" Fallheim raised his hand.

Then, Fallheim stepped back, Dzaych immediately thanked him for igniting the spirit of the darkness.

"Now, let us talk to the light." Said Fallheim.
"Yes, you two come with me." Said Dzaych, as he went outside.

Crossing what it seems to be a bridge, Dzaych, Fallheim, and Al'ritch saw the  light's palace in the horizon.

"Still the same when I visit that place back then..." Said Al'ritch.
"You never been there ?" Ask Dzaych.
"My task require me to stay in the underworld, but I once escorted a prophet to the light's domain. He asked me how's it feel, and even from here, I can feel such peace and enlighten." Said Al'ritch.

They arrived at the gate, and immediately they got intercepted by a guard.

"The darkness... What are your business here ?" Ask the guard.
"We're here to seek aid for the light's help, to save the world from doom." Said Dzaych.
"Have I told you not to come here ever again ? We're not helping the darkness." Said the guard.
"How so, may I ask ?" Ask Fallheim.
"You've destroyed our trust with your actions." Said the guard.
"What have we done exactly ?" Ask Al'ritch.
"You... You're that guardian of the underworld." The guard shook for a moment.
"I'm quite surprised to hear that. Not even a single being here even acknowledged my existence." Said Al'ritch.

"What is this ? The darkness ? What brings you here ?" An angel slowly descended to the ground, greeting Dzaych and the others.
"Jibhril, what a fortune." Said Dzaych.
"Dzaych... It's been a while, how's the darkness ?" Ask Jibhril.
"Not... In a good situation." Said Dzaych.
"How so ?" Ask Jibhril.
"We've slowly coming to an end as there's no leader in charge." Said Dzaych.
"Adam... What a pity." Said Jibhril.
"He died protecting the earth from destruction... And a sad part is not even the keeper of the light and the earth aid him." Said Jibhril.
"What ?" Dzaych seemed confused.
"You must be confused... Yes, Vallhain is not the leader of the light, he's merely just a keeper of the light. Wyrin, is the keeper of the earth, in charge of keeping the earth's balance. The real leader of the light and darkness, is the godself. Adam too, just a keeper of the darkness, he's merely a human with a gift. The light's domain and the dark's domain is nothing more than a place where light and darkness stay. " Said Jibhril.
"Right... I just remembered." Said Dzaych.
"You've been sleeping for quite some time Dzaych." Said Jibhril.
"Right... Let's get back to the problem." Said Dzaych.
"The earth is at brink of destruction, I came here to ask for your assistance, under behalf of Adam's son, Arcanic." Said Dzaych.
"He's still alive ? Adam was right... He's a tough boy." Said Jibhril.
"Well, guard, get the army ready." Said Jibhril.
"Yes sir !" The guard went inside the palace.
"We shall meet in the ground of descendant. Let the light guide your way to safety." Said Jibhril.
"And let the darkness guide your way to peace." Said Dzaych.

Jibhril flew to heaven, to find a specific human.

"Jibhril... What brings you here ?" The man with white clothes asked, his presence brings peace.
"Ya Rasul... The earth is at mere destruction." Said Jibhril.
"I see... Thank you." Said the man, he then left as Jibhril flew away.

There, he found two couple sitting at a tree.

"You must be Adam..." Said the man.
"Ya-Sin. I didn't know you'll come here." Said Adam.
"I come here to bring you a message." Said Ya-Sin.
"Luna... Adam, it's about your son." Said Ya-Sin.
"Arcanic... Yes, what about him ?" Ask Adam.
"I want you to help me prepare his arrival." Said Ya-Sin.
"What ?" Luna confused.
"Luna... Follow my word, and believe to the god's plan." Said Ya-Sin.
