Chapter 4:  Enough's Enough

   The air was cold.  The air was hot.  Nothing seemed to be like it used to be, destiny smited them all... Fore the entire universe... Life has no meaning if there is no purpose.  What's the point of living life if everything will be destroyed.  You see, purpose is life and death.  However, if one proceeds over the other entirely, life or death, balance will flow out of rhythm and there will be no need for purpose.  Yet unnaturally, time conuinues to flow and take shape of beautiful or repugnant things.

   Which is stronger?  Following the path that life grants you... or, running away from life and forging death in its name?  Y ou decide, whichever you choose... there will always be consequences, for every action, there will always be a reaction, even mentally.

    Morakai looked around him and saw everything that he couldn't protect.  House's were decimated with their debris spread along the ground as if like cobble stones.  Trees burnt, broken, split, and roots severed...  The entire landscape was deformed, the sea churned and bellowed with rage as if sensing a great disturbance.  The sky was red with heavy dark clouds, surrounding areas were shrouded with gusts of smoke and death wids.  Morakai began to doubt himself and hesitated, but then his eyes caressed the woman that loved him.  Now smiling, he truly believed that justice and happiness prevailed.  "There is nothing I can't handle, as long as I have my beloved."

   His best friend pat him on the back.  "Just so you know, don't let your passions get the best of you.  Also, I will always be there for you, until the end."  Morakai thanked him for the generous and wise words  Looking across the ocean, he saw the once beautiful, lavish Valance Viore in shambles,  In the middle of the island, stood Zyoff, his huge massive body began contorting into a different shape and grew even more.

   Tegenaria, the mirthful and spirited girl, let out a hoop of a holler.  "Let's go kick Zyoff's a$$ now."

    Walking down the mountain, treading through the mysterious dark cave once again, Malachite pointed out.  "Why do you live up here?  Do you not like how couscous the towns are?"  Ignoring him, Nexious walked on.  Destiny looked down as she brought her head up, her expression all lit up.  "If you woe-en-en... wo... Hmm... That will not do."  The child looked helpless as she turned her head to the warrior.  "Help!  I need help on this word!"

   Confused as ever, Aurora eyed the other way.  "What are you trying to do?"  Sniffing, the cild lamented her case.  She wanted to talk more life Aurora; she seemed to be cooler than most others.

   Aurora smirked, turning her eyes to the haughty wizard.  "Weellll... that does bring up an interesting topic.  Do tell me... Where do you get that awful tongue from which you hail from?"  Everyone tensed up when he finally spoke.  "I don't usually talk much... at all.  Theoreticaly speaking, shut up!  Who cares what any of you think, I despise you all."  Saying his peace, he became solemn.

   "In many ways, I try not to be corrupted by the villainess inhabitants below, It keeps me in perspective."  Turning his head to Aurora, Nexious asked.  "Do you hate Gigantos?"  Perplexed and annoyed, Aurora gave her answer.  "What are you talking about?!  Of course I hate the creature!  Who wouuldn't?!

   Still solemn, he faced forward.  "A typical answer.  No one should have to deal with Gigantos."

   Malachite was curious, revising the past.  "You did say you are a guardian, and a guardian of Yarrow at that.  Tell me, you are an enemy of Giganos, do you guard Yggdrasil as well?  Calculating on such an answer, Nexious remained silent.  Malachite coninued, not ever being deterred.  "For some reason, you have the same empathy as Ginganos, yet you fight him.  What ties you to him?"

   The madman turned with a informal expression, everyone stopped.  "...Gignatos, is a curse on this world.  I will destroy him... eventually.  I have my own score with the monster, but... I also blame Gigantos was the cause of the cataclysm.  But my main concern... is the Black Sea Knight.  He's my priority righ now."

   Aurora and Destiny piped up.  "I new it!/So he was the one."  The madman chuckled, setting them straight... into more confusion.  "I've been too hasty.  Technically, that's not all true, Giganos wasn't exactly the main cause of the catastrophe, but only... he supplied the ammunition."  Quite peaked, Aurora started to go brain dead.  "Whaa...?!"

   "Mind you, he didn't actually supply the ammo, but it was taken from him."  Nexious added.  Sensing great fonfusion in the group, the king asked how anyone could take anything from such a formidable beast.

   The madman gave a crooked smile.  "Gigantos didn't come to be big as the first creature until after he battled it, than he got stonger and became the Gigantos we all know today.  However, never has it ever been recorded how the information was leaked about this ammo.  According to a mysterious parchment Zyoff received, the emperor during the cataclysm, it said that a certain power could be uptained and could make him even more powerful.  No more relying on others to protect you, you can protect yourself by emassing enough power to reach the stars.  That letter was sent by someone calling himself, Black Sea Knight.

   Feeling uneasy about her ominous compatriot, Aurora began to wonder.  He knows so much, yet it seems like he's talking in riddles.  Nothing makes any sense, except... "That's the name I heard in one of the passwords to your home.  How come you have that as a password?"

   Already, the master wizard was feeling tired from all the questions.  "Well... I am a scholar, I do a lot of research on what happened that day.  So there's your answer."

I'm not finished, so bare with it.  I will continue to write more later.  4/12/07 :  Sorry for any delays, I've had a lot on my plate recently, whoo.  Definitions:  Couscous- In my words, peaceful and quaint.  Mirthful-  Energetic and playful.  Parchment- In royal times, kings recieved mail with bows consealing the message.  Cataclysm- Total destruction to a landscape.  Hurracanes and earthquakes can cause these on a 10 point scale.  Ask any questions you want, hopefully it will help me be more intune with the story.
