I was resting in my castle with my family, telling stories and playing games when a darkness surrounded me and I was alone; no family, none of my people, no friends, nada. I know, this sounds like a trap. Well, it was. 

All around me was an army of dark beings misshaped with beady white eyes. In front of me were the beings that plagued me; Fear, Paranoia, Anger, Anxiety, and Evil. I've battled them each one at a time and defeated them each. They smiled down at me, wicked and snarky. 

I fell to my knees with an overwhelming terror in my chest. Defeat took my heart and I cried. 

Alone.  

I was alone. 

The horrid five walked towards me, sending their spirits at me in the form of black lightning. Each strike I cried harder and screamed in pain, yet not a sound left my mouth. Cackles echoed all around my ears as they claimed victory. 

"You're alone," whispered Anxiety. 

"You're the monster you feared," whispered Evil.

"You've lost yourself," Anger hissed.

"No one will come for a monster like you," cackled Paranoia. 

"You've lost," said Fear with courage of a thousand demons.

Harder and harder I cried, creating a pool at my knees. I was overwhelmed with it all, being taken in. I had lost.

Blue rings surrounded me like the shore line, moving back and forth. "Teleport glyph!"

I laughed. 

Behind me was my fucking kingdom (Not the castle or anything like that, that would be silly. Lol). Everyone was here. Gey Bois Inc, my family, my golden hounds, the Liscan, Donthri, Esnith, angels from heaven, the sea people, the giant of Elman's forest, everyone! My mother and father stepped forward and pulled me to my feet, gentle as doves. "You are never alone, Isaac Steven Garcia," my mother said. 

I smiled.

We all looked at the surrounding army and the five beings. "I will take them," I said. 

My father shook his head. "We will take him."

"Bro, your dad into that communist shit," Big Boy said. 

I laughed. 

My father grew to the size of the Giant of Elman's forest. We all charged together into the pits of darkness, united against the darkness. Donthri flailed their mighty trunks with a triumphed hoot. The Ocean people rode in on ocean waves summoned from their skin. The ground shook as The Giant and my father walked towards the gathering shadow people. My father brought his fists down, shaking the ground. My hounds, all ten of them, charged ahead with great speed. 

The battle began in the air, and on the land. Esnith, who cawed like mighty eagles, and angels, who brought the light of God with them, charged the flying demons above, cutting them down like butter. My people charged the dark beings around us, even old Maria and Ot'owe charged with pieces of their game board in hand.

I came up to Anxiety first. She stood in front of me, a thin goop of dark tar. I felt the ground shake behind me. I looked and saw My father standing over me with my sisters on his shoulder. My mother floated above with my grandmas. I smiled. My father was the first to strike, bringing his fist down.

Anxiety dodged into my mothers beam of light. A hole cut through Anxiety's chest. My sisters jumped down. Juju shot ten soccer balls at her in a blink of an eye. Anxiety dodged them all. My sister created dozens of small meteors to crash on Anxiety, one struck her arm. My grandma, The Great Keeper, had a dozen books floating with her, each opened and aimed at Anxiety. Beams of yellow light shot down.
