A Youth Dressed in Gray Walked out of A House Attached to The Wall,Carefully,He Started Climbing down the Elevators,Long Minutes Passed before his feet touched the Ground.
Without Delay,His Figure Moved Straight Ahead For around 4 minutes before making a right turn, Immediately,A Large Building with 7 different triangular Segments came to his vision,It was as Gray as The Houses,But Slightly more Metallic.
It's Diameter covered the Entire Road Ahead, Separating The Hashles from The Wealthier Parts of The City,Tall Spears Pointed at the sky from the rooftops of each segment,7 Different Statues of The Heads of Dragonic Creatures,The Ankaahlagans,Pointed At the opposite direction.
At The Very Center of The Segment to the left of Vaal,A Massive Black Gate Should Have Been Visible,A Symbol of a Red Round Shield Being it's Lock.
However,There Was no Gate,In Fact,A Large Portion of The Wall was Also missing.
'This...,
What Kind of creature Could Do Something like This?, From what I know,The Walls of The Containment Ark Are Made of The Soul Cores of Higher Goliaths Mixed With The Stone of Eclipsya,It Should be extremely Hard For Even An Undead Warlord to Destroy These Walls...What if whatever did this is In there?'
'...I have to get inside no matter what, otherwise I will be stuck here and die regardless, Although there will be a different version of me that will remain alive due to the Fate Divergion,He won't Be Necessarily myself...'
' in a way,one could say that whatever Caused this also helped me,since I now have a clear way of getting inside...If you think about it, it's Also Kind of odd That I Just happened to find That knife Back then,And Somehow The Elevator just happened to be gone precisely when I needed...I don't know if these are just coincidences...'
...
Metallic Stone walls of A Gray color Hosted Countless Cracks and Holes, Some of These Cracks and Holes Were Filled with Blood, Somehow,The Blood Didn't Fall down and Just Remained Still, without a single Ripple.
Bladed Chains Hung From The Ceiling, Each Emanating a thick bloody aura, Certain Marks of Blood Red Shade Appeared like written chants of a Dark Ritual, Two Tiny lamps attached to Black chains brought light to the Chamber,Several Corpses were found here and there,All but few Dressed in a Sort of Gray Uniform,The Rest Were Corpses in white Robes.
Looking At All This,Was A Young Man with Gray Hair,His was The only Life to be found within, Whatever Else Lurked,Alive was not.
And this Unlife,Had sensed the presence of what it loathed,Like a Light of Death,This Dark Shape shifter Crawled Through The Walls, partly Emerging from The Shadows, It's presence wasn't noticed whatsoever by the Young Man,Yet,Before It Could deal a fatal blow,A Large Clawed Hand Completely Tore it out of it's Resting place,The Pale Hand Greatly Contrasted The Blackness of The Shifter.
And unlike The Silent Shadow Creature,This Tyrannical Hand Made It's Presence clearly known,The Noise It Made accessible to The Youth's hearing.
Etched in his vision,
Was A Humongous Humanoid Creature, It's skin A Grayish White, It's one undamaged Eye of a Red Color,Worms Protuded out of it's Extremely obese Form,A Mouth with Sharp teeth and a long slithering Tongue was Present on it's Belly,The oral cavity on it's Face Being Sewed Shut.
Immediately,He looked for any way out,yet The Only Near Escape presented itself in the Form of one of the Blood Filled Holes,His Hesitation Was Dispelled By the Sight of The Shadow Creature Being torn apart until it dissipated,Just Before he entered The Hole,The Clawed Hand Explosively Moved en route of his location,barely missing him by less than a second...
...
Upon passing through the Gate of Blood,The Somehow Unbloodied Figure of Vaal found himself in a room of close likeness To The Previous one,Yet This Time He Was not alone.
' This thing...Is The Divergent Point?'
Sitting on a Throne made of Skulls,A Tall Man of Raven Hair and Pale Skin Gazed at The Heavens,His Glowing Blue Eyes Like The Azure Flames of a Jíaan.
A Long Eastern Style Black Robe Contoured his Very simetrical and Defined Vessel.
He would have been perhaps The Most Ethereal Looking person Vaal Had Ever Seen,Only Rivaled By Sephyr.
However,That "Face" of his no longer looked exactly Like a Person,It was as if Vaal Could See his Face,The Red Beneath and also The White of The Skull.
Held Tightly by The Right Hand of God,Was a Pitch Black Fang,Indicating The Man's Identity as a Claw, It's Length around 1 Meter.
Vaal Found Himself Mesmerized by This Strange Man,So Otherworldly was He,yet also familiar,Like a Long Lost Friend,or Enemy.
' What do I do... Approach?'
Severing This Thought Process from it's Conclusion,Was The Deep and Overbearing Voice of The Broken God.
"...The Everlasting Ruins of This Barren Land,Alone I Stand For A Thousand Nights, Here Lies The Abyss That Comes Before,My Name Known By None,My Blade Known By All.
I am Heir of Nothing,Prince of Darkness,King of The Ashes,The Chained God.
Heed My Calling...aankzerath."
A Shade of White The Shadows Transformed,White Like The Flames of The White Dragon,Vaal Felt As If His Eyes had gone Blind.
For 10 Seconds,He Could Do naught But Listen,To The Feral Heartbeats,Demonic Growls,Terrific Bellows.
Once that precious understanding of vision returned to his person,The Visage of a Thousand Fangs Appeared as Reflections within The Eyes of Vaal.
Planted as a gift,Was a Seed of Certainty.
An Almost Hypnotic Call For Battle.
The youth knew what his purpose had become,To Prevail in a Dance of Death Symbols, and so his choice of weapon had to be done,The Darkness within his Soul,It Responded to That Calling With A Nameless Blade,Gray in Color.
The Eyes of Fiery Blue Locked onto The Ones Resembling a Bird of Prey,From The Throne He Came down to The Ground, Flying with Divine Elegance.
Towering above The Youth,his Presence was Crushing,Yet The Soul of Vaal Remained calm even as his heart Raced, Backing away Somewhat,His Figure Assumed a Low Stance That Was Intended To prevent the Enemy from understanding his Distance, Allowing him to hit Faster Than The Enemy Thought.
Yet Before His Performance of an Attack could come into manifestation,The Black Shaded Fang Was Thrusted Forward With Great Speed,Vaal Just Barely Managed to Block The Stab as he turned from His Core, However Without allowing him a follow up Attack,A White Skeleton Ripped Through The Man's Flesh, It's Speed so Immense that Vaal Could not React Before The Bony Hand Pierced through His Left Chest and ripped out his Heart.
Killing him instantly.
