The End-Days War

Chapter 2: Temptations

Delphine has come face to face with the Ranger as they were standing before the City which they have killed the Daedra. Delphine explains to Ragnar that she needs someone like him to help her on her Journey to Kill the Demons and find the Daedric Lords. Ragnar agrees to her explanation on which she brought before him during this Time and in this place. Delphine explains to Ragnar that she is the Ebony Warrior and she was the one that many remembered as the one who defeated the Grim Reaper and sent Satan back to Hell. And then, they departed and they were well on their way as they move on into the World Killing any Demon that stood in their way.
Beware, Ragnar, for even though your Journey is just beginning, the Road ahead for you will not be easy to accomplish. Perhaps, this was the only way of this life to live and to survive or perhaps this was the only purpose in life. Ragnar didn't care about the Dangers of the World and he could stand up to anything that could be in his path. Beware, Delphine, you may call yourself The Ebony Warrior and you may say that you have cut down many Demons but know that The Devil will always have his due. The pain that you suffer through even through your own past will be with you from now until the End of Days, your suffering will always lie with you.

           Ragnar finds himself wandering around in the Desert to see what other place is out there where many Demons lurk. It was into the Far East that Ragnar kept wandering around in the Desert and there was nothing but more and more Sand. Afterwards, he was very thirsty, for he drank nothing during the time he was on the long Road in the Desert. One day, he was still walking on the long Road and he found a large stone and then he lays down next to it to rest. When it was daytime it was very, very hot but when it was nighttime it was very, very cold while he walked on this Dark Road.
Soon afterwards, he was tempted by Satan during his travels in the Desert, Satan stared at him for a moment trying to analyze him. "Six whole days of walking on this Road and still he lives." Satan said. "He has great strength indeed." Ragnar looks up and sees him; the Devil, The King of Darkness, Satan as he was resting himself upon the Large Stone.
"You need help." Satan Said.
"No," Ragnar replied.
"But you will die soon."
"I will not die... until I have finished that which I have started."
"What you started?"
Then, Ragnar gets himself up from the ground and he began to stare at Satan as he was questioning him while he was resting. "Wiping the evil out of this land and defeating any Demon that lives and breathes on this Earth," He said. "And finding the one responsible for all of this."
Satan laughs and he follows Ragnar as he was walking away from him and wanting to be left alone from this creature. Satan does not stop following Ragnar as he was still walking away and Satan began to test him and question him.
"Why do you fight?" Satan asked. "Why throw away your own life to save these beings?"
"I will suffer... far worse than this for the sake of my people," Ragnar said. "I will not rest until every last one of you is driven out of the lands of the Earth."
"Prove it to me... here... now."
Satan backs away from Ragnar a little bit where he was standing and he was trying to tell Ragnar something. "Go ahead, Kill me," He said. "Put me out of my misery."
The Sky grows darker as Satan was speaking with Ragnar and the Moon did not turn to Blood for there weren't any Demons around, just Satan.
"Come on," He said. "Your hunger and thirst will be satisfied. In fact, I would fall down and worship you forevermore."
"Get out of my head," Ragnar said. "You're nothing more but an illusion. You're not here and you're not real. I know... who you are... and you know I am."
And as he said this, Satan began to walk away from Ragnar and he began to disappear from the Earth and then Ragnar finds somewhere else to sleep. Then, Satan came for him again and he led him to a city and he had Ragnar stand on the highest point of the palace. Ragnar looks down and he sees the many people going about their daily lives and wandering around in the city to see what they can do.
"There they are," Satan said. "The people that you have come to save. But first, they must believe. Join me. Bow before me, take all that you have left. All you need to do is utter the phrase from the bottom of your heart, 'I submit'. And you shall be given Raven black wings upon which you shall soar the Heavens. When the people see you flying in the clouds and soaring the skies, then they will believe. Then they will know that you have come to save them!"
And as Satan said this before Ragnar, Ragnar lets Himself up from the ground and he began to stare at him in confusion and Anger. "You dare send me to do your bidding?" He asked. "Once again your fine words are worth nothing."
And then, the sun began to light up in the clouds and the people began to look up and see that Sun has appeared again. Ragnar sits himself down and then he covers his face with his eyes for he was still in Temptation as he was crossing the Desert. Then, Satan comes for him once more and then he has led him up to a very high place.
