When I opened my eyes, I was in safari, but.... it wasn't as peaceful as I expected it to be. I heard roars and screams, I looked around but didn't see anything. Then, I saw some birds flying... not above me but... under! I looked down and screamed. "What the fuck?!" I waved my arms and legs wildly. "Geez.... Relax man...." I heard in front of me. I looked and found shadow floating in front of me. " How the hell can I relax?! Where the fuck am I?!" I screamed as wind blew past me. "I said relax, i'll explain everything in a sec..." He told me. I took a few deep breaths, "okay... what is it?" In an instant, we were standing on the ground, he and I were facing each other, looking at what is behind each other. I was facing really weird creatures, speeding towards us, i looked behind me and saw an army of men with spears, shields and bows sprinting towards us even faster. "Shit..." i groaned. "Back to back. I want to test how good my fighting has gotten and how good yours is!"

"Fine." I narrowed my eyes at the challenge in front of me. I took my place behind Shadow, just as a spear was coming towards my head. I dodged it just in time, I took it and hit the spear head against the ground; breaking it off. I took the spear head and the shaft of the spear, putting the spear head in my pocket and got ready. I cleared my mind and focused on the army in front of me. As if instinct had kicked in, I thrusted the shaft, or should I call it a staff, in front of me hitting a man on the chin. I swung to my left and hit another on his side, the staff snaps. "Fuck..." Is all I thought. "Well, so much for non-lethal tactics... Wait a second..." I picked the other half of the staff and grinned. I extremely good with dual swords, how can this be any different?

 I ran towards the rest, swinging my arms in a certain pattern I can't explain.To an untrained eye, it would look like I were just swinging my arms wildly, but to be honest, I guess I am in a way. The next thing I noticed is that I was standing in the middle of the army, sending men flying left and right. At least five minutes later, Shadow and I were sitting on top of a pile of unconscious/dead men and demons. "Did I pass?" I asked, panting hard. "Yeah, you're better than I expected..."Shadow chuckled.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"I didn't think you were much of a fighter, to me... you looked like a complete fag... no offense."W

What? Is it just because I'm emo or something....? Don't judge a fucking book by it's cover... jerk. "None taken, most people call me that....I don't know why... but I find it okay for people to call me that... doesn't really effect me much at all.... my best friend.... she takes offense when people say things like that towards me and I don't do anything about it..."

"Haha..." He laughed. "Sorry, I didn't mean it like that... Well, sort of.. But believe me. I'm not one to judge people..." I patted his shoulder, Can this guy read my thoughts or something? "Don't worry. So uhm.. Can we go back...?" I asked. "Yes in fact I can." He said so casually... Like he was trying to act cool; I shrugged it off. I really hate people like that.... But he did do something really cool earlier... "And yes, we can. But not until I tell you something of importance."

I looked at him, "Importance....?" He nodded, "Yeah. Importance." He stood up and started walking down the mountain or men and demons, I stood up and followed. "There is a Dark War coming soon... I can't explain it, but you seem to have a pure heart. But in front of that heart there is a shield that protects it from the violence that you must go through... Therefore, I see that you are; in a way, a warrior for God." He stopped at looked me straight in the eye. I looked back, "Warrior for God...? Whjat are you saying exactly?" I asked. "I'm saying that you, are potentally the Chosen One." You gotta be kidding me! Seriously? Reminds me too much of Harry Potter or The Matrix. "Moreover, Since this is the case i must give you this...." He Stabbed his hand into my chest again. Sending my heart and body into a burning anguish.
