Chapter 6 The Crypt of Heaven

(As Demi entered the portal opened by Benelan, It brought him into a dark place with water on the floor and only a small silver candle that lights the place)

Demi* Where am I?

(As Demi slowly finds his footing, the water beneath him ripples)

(A massive growl can be heard near Demi)

Demi* Seriously... Again, I'm starting to come prepared so have at me.

soothing female voice* Again is the right word.

(Demi kept his guard up despite the seemingly harmless voice that he heard)

Demi* Who are you? Show yourself!

(A light suddenly emanates from the crystals inside the dark cave, Revealing a massive white dragon hidden in the dark)

Demi* You... You're the world Dragon.

(The Huge dragon smiles at Demi)

World Dragon* Ahh you remember me... How joyful.

World Dragon* It has been quite the time Demi, I'm glad to have seen you again. This time though not in battle.

(Demi uncovers his hood revealing his face and smiles back at the Dragon)

Demi* It sure is nice to see you again... I remember suddenly Barakal rode you to battle against me.

(The world dragon lights up an area in the cave, which contains a sarcophagus with a silver armor laying on top of it holding a violet sword)

World Dragon* Ahh... Barakal, it has been years since the last time I've heard that name.

Demi* Barakal is alive. And he is inside me.

World Dragon* No Demi. Barakal has been dead for over a century now.

Demi* but I've met him just recently... Along with the other monsters I've killed in the Blood war.

(The world Dragon blows a cool air on Demi's face)

World Dragon* That is Barakal's Soul inside of you Demi... His body is inside that sarcophagus.

Demi* How can that be?

World Dragon* my... You don't know do you? The souls of the dead shall inhabit the body of the Styxian that killed them.

Demi* What that's impossible...

World Dragon* Why did you think your race suddenly died off when you defended Styx from the Xurgan?

Demi* I was not allowed to participate on the battle of the Xurgan.

World Dragon* Every one of your kind that killed a Xurgan made their soul inhabit Styxian bodies... And Xurgans being destructive, brought doom on the Styxians who took them in.

(Demi sits down on the water causing it to ripple even more)

(Demi feeling confused)

Demi* Then it means when I killed the Sepulcher before... He just inhabited my body?

World Dragon* Yes and every other soul that you have killed have merged with your soul, and is now you.

Demi* Wait I didn't kill Barakal... Why is he here inside of me?

World Dragon* After Barakal defeated you a hundred years ago, he succumbed to the wounds you dealt to him after the fight.

Demi* Wait a minute I don't Remember losing to Barakal on that fight.

World Dragon* But he was able to stop you from carrying out your goal... Which is a victory for us.

(Demi looks at the sarcophagus and walks over it, upon getting there... He slowly strokes the armor)

Demi* Old friend... I hope it isn't too bad in there.

(Demi notices something about the sword)

Demi* This is... The sword of mourning!?

World Dragon* Yes... The very same sword carried by Lady Elena, And the Sword Barakal used against you. It is known as the undead slayer.

Demi* It was here all this time...

(Demi tries to pick up the sword of mourning but it turned into dust upon making contact with Demi)

Demi* No...

World Dragon* It seems that Barakal doesn't want you to use this sword against the Sepulcher...

Demi* How can I beat the Sepulcher without this sword?

World Dragon* Perhaps Barakal intends something else for you.

(The cave trembles, Causing the stalactites to fall and impale the water)

Demi* I have to face the Sepulcher... With or without the Sword of Mourning.

World Dragon* What do you posses that might be able to stop the Sepulcher?

(Demi shows the tear of blood, The armor and sword of Vraak, and the Surging power of Benelan)

Demi* These are all I have. Its not much, but it will have to do.

World Dragon* (Laughs) I admire your courage Demi. Barakal would have been proud.

Demi* Barakal was my friend... 

World Dragon* Yes, and the brother of Lady Elena.

Demi* He always joked around even at the Order Academy...

World Dragon* its just sad... How he died saving this world from you.

(The cave rumbles once more)

Demi* The Wardens... How could they do that to their own kind?

World Dragon* As every race has their own rules... The Wardens were just following what they believe.

Demi* By killing Elena? And why didn't Barakal stop the execution?

World Dragon* Barakal let Elena escape. But lady Elena didn't choose to.

Demi* Why?

World Dragon* Because she believed that she can be with you once death has taken her.

Demi* ...

World Dragon* I was quite curious... How your Daughter would look if she was able to live. I mean Undead and Warden... 

Demi* Elena was with child?

(Demi Drops to his knees and tears start to flow from his red eyes)

(The water rippled as Demi's tear drops)

World Dragon* What will you do now Demi?

(Demi wipes off his face and stood up)

Demi* I'm going to stop the Sepulcher.

(The World Dragon stretched her massive wings and shakes off her body

Demi* What are you doing?

World Dragon* I haven't had exercise in a long time. 

(The world Dragon lowers her head so Demi would be able to get on her)

World Dragon* Come Demi, for the Sepulcher to notice. You would need a big entrance.

(Demi gets on the world Dragon)

Demi* You would really do this for me?

World Dragon* Why did some of the undead stay with you despite not being the Sepulcher?

Demi* The Lich told me that he believed in me, and that the others as well. Lich told me that I alone could make a difference in the world we live in now.

World Dragon* That too is what I believe... So Don't give up Styxian.

Demi* Thank you...

(The World Dragon climbed out the cave they were in and poised herself on top of the mountain)

(The world Dragon thinking to herself, My... My... Déjà vu... This happened a hundred years ago. This exact scenario, Barakal went up against Demi when he was the Sepulcher. Now its Demi's turn to face his destiny)

World Dragon* You might want to cover your ears.

(The world Dragon let out a roar the shook the earth and caught the attention of the entire horde of the Sepulcher)

Demi* SEPULCHER I'LL BE YOUR OPPONENT NOW!

(The voice of Demi reached out even inside Castle Schrade where the Sepulcher currently is)

Sepulcher* (Holding Ava by the throat) Demi... It's about time.

(The Sepulcher throws Ava across the hall and walks out the gaping hole in the castle wall)

Sepulcher* Its time for the finale...

Chapter 7 The Dance of illusions

(As the World Dragon flies towards castle Schrade, Demi felt uneasy. He felt as though something is trying to get out inside of him)

World Dragon* Hold on we will soon be there.

(Demi starts feeling dizzy)

Demi* I don't feel well...

World Dragon* Nervous are we. I bet Barakal felt the same way when he was on the way to face you.

Demi* Perhaps... But I feel different.

(The World Dragon spotted from a distance a massive black dragon)

World Dragon* Well... well... Things will be interesting.

(As Demi and the World Dragon arrived into the field, The undead horde made way for the dragons descent)

(The World Dragon shook the earth when she landed with a massive stomp)

(The World Dragon Roars, and it drove the undead horde to take a few steps back, Silence started to envelope the field... The undead soldiers murmur to themselves as the towering World Dragon is in front of them)

Demi* I feel butterflies in my tummy...

World Dragon* Don't be afraid... I will be here for you.

Demi* Thank you, that makes me feel much better.

(The Abyssal Dragon Roars)

Abyssal Dragon* Sister!

World dragon* Dare not call me sister... Monster!

Abyssal Dragon* (chuckles) Still bitter are we... It has been awhile. Look how you've grown sister... 

(The World Dragon growls)

World Dragon* Stay out of this fight, only Demi and the Sepulcher shall face.

Demi* You know him?

World Dragon* Yes... He is my brother. When the Dragon of life decided to put Me in charge of Styx, my brother took it in a negative way. He ravaged the land and destroyed the mountains.

Demi* Wow... Sounds like a real loser.

World Dragon* Seeing what he has done. The Dragon of life banished him into the darkness. To where he indeed belongs.

(A shadow faintly walks towards the World Dragon and Demi)

World Dragon* Sepulcher...

Demi* ...

(The Sepulcher looks up at the World Dragon and pointed at Demi)

Sepulcher* You... Are... Late...

Demi* Oh I'm sorry I didn't know I was invited to your party.

Sepulcher* You insolent brat... I will kill you here and now!

(The Sepulcher sprouted out shadow wings and flew towards Demi)

(The World Dragon breathe Silver flames at the Sepulcher, Burning a part of his robe and causing him to fall)

(Upon Seeing this The Abyssal Dragon lunged at the World Dragon causing Demi to fall as the two massive beasts collide)

Abyssal Dragon* Intervention!

World Dragon* Argh!! Demi its up to you now!

(The two Dragons clashed and is now settlings their score with each other)

(Demi lands lightly on his feet)

Demi* I won't disappoint you... Sepulcher! Die now here!

(The Sepulcher gets up and shrugs of the silver flame)

(The Undead slowly retreat as they feel a fight with two powerful beings is about to take place)

(Before Demi could prepare the Sepulcher ran towards him with weapons drawn)

Sepulcher* It is time to die!

(Demi's surroundings suddenly changed, The red sky and the black night became day, and there is a Warden soldier with yellow wings running towards Demi with a violet sword)

Warden Soldier* Aaaaaaaaargh!!!

(Demi Raised Vraaks sword and prepared for the clash, then the viewed change... It went back to the previous scenery of blood and darkness)

Demi* What!?

(The Sepulcher is running towards Demi)

Sepulcher* Die!!!

(Demi was back to his senses before the Sepulcher approached him, He was able to evaded the attack and slice a clean one on Sepulcher's back)

Sepulcher* Ahh the doom sword of Vraak... How memories suddenly flood me.

Demi* You are not fit to live in my planet!

(Demi then takes another swing)

Sepulcher* You invited us... Its is only you who is to blame.

(The clashing of steel and flesh tingles the air)

(Some of Demi's Royalguards Assisted Demi by attacking the horde while the Sepulcher is busy)

Demi* We made this place inhabitable to all those who needs refuge from their dying world's! You however are not welcome Here!

(The two are locked with swords and posses equal physical strength)

Sepulcher* Enough with this... I cannot be wasting more time, Power of damnation embrace me with your truth and warmth!

(The Sepulcher started to transform who's visage is similar to reaper, Tall undead with a massive living scythe and possessing 4 arms)

Demi* Oh no... He ascended.

(A Royalguard shouted)

Royalguard* Lord Demi into castle Schrade! We will hold of the Sepulcher!

Demi* I'm going to meet up with the Lich. I'm sorry...

Royalguard* For you My lord... I lay my life.

(As the Sepulcher transforms into this hideous creature. It bought Demi time to escape. And with the help of his guards they doubled the time needed for Demi to flee)

(As Demi glides through the battlefield a thunder giant fell into his path)

(The Scenery then changed again, this time it was in a volcano)

Demi* Again... What is happening?

(There is a giant red humanoid monster with horns wielding a morningstar)

(The Creature growls)

(People around Demi yelling)

Soldier* Kill it while its still cornered!

Soldier 2* Demi our orders are to kill it! Do it!

(The constant yelling of the soldiers caused Demi to charge forward and slashes the beast in half)

(Then the scenery reverted back)

Demi* What... 

(Demi didn't have the time to idle... As he moved forward he saw the upper body of Scylla torn from its lower body)

(The scenery then changed into a different battlefield, There is a beautiful witch flying around bombarding the area with mirror shards)

(A daring soldier clad in silver armor approached)

Soldier* We have to catch her Demi... She is too agile for the soldiers.

Demi* Siegfried?

Sigfried* We are out of time... Let's go!

(The scenery then reverted back)

Demi* What is going on!?

(A roar from the distance can be heard)

Demi* Its the Dracolish...

(The Dracolish landed with reaper on it)

Reaper* My lord come! The Sepulcher is gaining on you!

(Reaper points into the undead horde and sees the hideous creature rampaging its way towards Demi)

Demi* Let's go! (Gets on the Dracolish)

(The Dracolish then crashed into the castle walls just near the entrance)

Reaper* Lord Demi are you alright?

Demi* Feeling dazed but I'm OK...

(The Dracolish faints)

Demi* The Dracolish is hurt badly...

Reaper* Since the death of Rei and Rai the Dracolish has been our standing Dragon.

Demi* I see... Where is the Lich? I'm out of time.

Reaper* Follow me my Lord.

(The Reaper and Demi encounters Benelan as they run towards the room of the Lich)

Benelan* Demi you have arrived... I'm afraid the Sepulcher is beyond our capabilities.

Demi* I know and he is only getting stronger.

(The trio bursts into the throne room)

Demi* Lich!

(The Lich holding several tomes)

Lich* Lord Demi!

Demi* I need power! I need to know how to do the Resurrection of the soul!

Lich* Lord Demi I cannot... I made an oath.

Demi* NOW!

(Lich looks at Reaper)

Reaper* Do it!

Lich* To the outer wall...

(There is a massive Octagram on the floor)

(Lich then prepares the ritual ingredients)

Lich* My Lord stand there at the middle!

Demi* Hurry!

Benelan* This is bad, the Sepulcher is here...

(The Sepulcher bursts open into the outer wall doors)

Sepulcher* (releases tendrils and snags Demi out of the Octagram) You are coming with Me!

Reaper* No! (The Reaper lunges at the Sepulcher in an attempt to slice of the tendrils) 

Sepulcher* (Laughing) Fools! Do you really think you can kill me? fate has already decided the Victor of this match!

(Demi is being choked by the tendrils)

Sepulcher* Now traitors watch as your Master dies!

(Lightning suddenly struck the Sepulcher and he vanished alongside Demi)

Lich* where did they go?

World Dragon* NO!!! DEMI!!!

Abyssal Dragon* Look as your champion falls!(laughing)

(Demi chokes and prevents him from yelling in pain)

Sepulcher* I remember something... The Styxians have 2 Hearts!

(The Sepulcher then plunged his other arm inside of Demi's chest and rips out Demi's last heart)

(The Sepulcher rejoicing as he is victorious)

(As Demi's hearts were pulled out of him, He dies instantly)

(Benelan, Lich and Reaper arrives at the Scene)

Benelan* We are too late...

Sepulcher* Behold the master of Castle Schrade, Demi! 

(The Undead horde cheers in excitement)

(The Sepulcher drags Demi's body across the dry rocky soil as he walks towards the gate of Castle Schrade)

(The Reaper, Lich and Benelan stands tall alongside the remaining Royalguards)

Sepulcher* You there... I'm in a good mood, So I will be giving you all another chance... Join me in remaking this world!

(A sudden silence takes place throughout the entire undead horde and the Royalguards)

(The Lich looks at the Reaper and sees him gripping his Scythe with anger and vengeance)

(The Lich then looks towards Benelan and Benelan nods at him)

(The Lich turned around and saw the Guards unbroken with resolve in their eyes)

(The Lich then Points at the lifeless body of Demi while getting dragged into the floor)

Lich* Lord Demi has fallen... We are being offered to join the Sepulcher once again... With his campaign to power, We can all join the Sepulcher and revel with the spoils. What say you!?

(The Royalguards are silent but brims with anger)

Lich* Because I will not join. Lord Demi might have fallen... But his ideals have lived on within us. Lord Demi has shown us a different side. In my many years of service with him. This is the first I've felt of compassion and love. Not the undead way... The living way... And that is why I will not join you. You can kill us here. But Demi's ideals will always remain alive.

(The Sepulcher laughs and smashes Demi's body into the ground)

Sepulcher* Fools! I am giving you traitorous scums a second chance and you blew it away for some dead body?

(The Reaper walks forward)

Reaper* Lord Demi when he was alive never turned his back on us... He could have walked away from being the Sepulcher, but he took the curse with him to assure the world that it is safe. Lord Demi has fought for what he thought was right... And so will we!

(The Sepulcher seemed agitated)

Sepulcher* And what did Demi felt right to fight about hmm?

(Benelan stared at the red moon of Hador for a bit, then looks at the Sepulcher)

Benelan* I am Benelan the fury... The guardian of the temple of life. And one of the ascended beings born from the undead. Demi has finally come to his senses... And they decided to stand up to you... That is what were are going to do!

(The Royalguards rally themselves and roars out in excitement)

Sepulcher* Big mistake!

(The Sepulcher then throws Demi's corpse into the Abyssal Dragons mouth)

(The Abyssal Dragon eats Demi's corpse in one bite)

(The World Dragon has lost hope and is weak as the sight of Demi vanishes into the maw of her brother)

Sepulcher* Keep the remains of the last Styxian, I'm pretty sure he can go into a museum of the dead! Now (Orders his army to attack) Kill them all!

(Inside Demi's mind)

(Demi slowly falls into the darkness)

(As Demi falls and is about to reach the end of Darkness, Souls started appearing reaching out for him. And cushioning his fall)

(The Souls placed Demi into the ground where he sleeps)

(A beast in the Dark Roars)

(The ground started to shake)

Eerie voice* Wake up... 

(Demi slowly opens his eyes)

Demi* I'm in this place again...

(A dark ghostly figure materialized on the head part of Demi and is offering him a hand. To get up)

(Demi's eyes started to tear up)

Demi* Barakal... I'm sorry. I have failed...

(Barakal takes off his black robes revealing a handsome Warden clad in silver armor with yellow wings)

Barakal* Now do you remember everything?

(Demi Still lying on the floor)

Demi* Yes... The world dragon told me everything... I'm sorry.

Barakal* chuckles* Nonsense... Look at you! It has been ages since we last saw each other, You look great, Dead but great!

(Barakal sits besides Demi)

Barakal* My my things have turned haven't they... I'm really surprised to see you here.

(Demi slowly gets up and sits)

Demi* (Hugs Barakal and cries) I'm sorry...

Barakal* You haven't changed at all Demi, Elena would be sad seeing you like this.

Demi* (composes himself) Is it true, Elena was pregnant?

Barakal* Yes, she was. I didn't tell you because you would have really lost it by then. It was quite difficult to quell you on her death... Imagine if you knew she was pregnant, you would probably have destroyed the planet itself.

Demi* Yeah... I would have. It doesn't matter now anyway its too late. I'm dead.

Barakal* Elena warned me about what was gonna happen the moment she was killed. Boy that was a real mess. You know what I had to go through just to have enough power to even talk to you?

Demi* What?

Barakal* I had to entered the lair of the Vexaz... Just to get the crimson shield of Xyphas.

Demi* You mean you swam through shit of those disgusting birds?

Barakal* Yes I did, it was nasty. You owe me one for that.

Demi* Ahahaha... I wish i could have seen that.

(The two started laughing maniacally)

Massive Beast* Are you two done?

(The two looked behind and saw Vulgan)

Barakal* Oh its you, what do you want?

Vulgan* Perhaps since he is dead... I can eat him now?

Demi* You were that beast from the blood war... You attacked the city of Lunaria in Undine territory.

Vulgan* I am simply following orders nothing more. Now can I eat him?

Barakal* Can you please get lost?

Vulgan* Grrrrr... Someday!

(Two beings materialized from the darkness in front of Demi and Barakal)

Beautiful girl* ahh Demi <3 (rushes and gives Demi a hug) remember me sweetheart? <3

Demi* I remember you... You were the witch from before.

Mavelle* Mavelle is my name and I prefer the term crystal guardian.

Demi* And I remember you as well... 

Balrog* my name is Balrog... And it is good to see my slayer well...

Barakal* Well the gangs all here.

(Barakal gets up and helps Demi up on his feet)

Barakal* Everyone gather around!

(Souls of different beings suddenly appear lighting the darkness from within)

Female voice* Why am I here!?

Demi* Allaya? Wait... I didn't kill you.

Barakal* I might have... Some explaining to do.

Barakal* Demi... Everyone you killed when I appeared... Was actually all you. I just made it appear that it was me. So that you wouldn't know... Vraak and the people we found. Was all you.

Demi* What!?

Barakal* That's why I kept telling you that I'm you... Plus we needed all the help we can get. So I had to kill Princess Allaya.

Allaya* So that's why... You're an asshole you know that.

Barakal* Yes yes... Thank me later, SHUSH!

Barakal* Someone wants to talk to you Demi...

(A deep voice can be heard calling out to Demi)

Deep voice* Demi... You have grown well...

(A big knight clad in silver armor with a red cape materializes from the darkness)

Demi* Siegfried!?

Siegfried* It is nice to see you again Demi... It has been awhile. How is my star pupil doing? The moment you have surpassed me in power amazed me.

Demi* Oh yeah... Sorry about that. Sorry about destroying your school before.

Siegfried* I forgive you Demi... You only did that out of love. in fact. All of us here... Forgives you.

(Demi looks around to find that he has been surrounded by millions of souls, some he knew and some don't)

Demi* Everyone... I'm sorry for what I did...

Siegfried* Demi... Let me show you something.

(A mirror then appears and shows that the battle is still ensuing outside of Castle Schrade)

Demi* Why are they still fighting? I'm dead already...

Siegfried* Because your Guards believed in you... You are the only Styxian left we know... And you sure carry things out as a Styxian.

Barakal* When you made us live in your planet... We were indebted to you. Our world was dying and had nowhere to go. If we hadn't found this place. Our race would have been over.

Siegfried* I'm sorry about Elena... There was nothing we could do. King Aramat's judgement was final.

Demi* Its alright... I've finally move on with that one... I just wanted to finish this task. 

(Barakal and Siegfried looked at each other)

Barakal* Demi... You cannot stay here.

Siegfried* You have a destiny to fulfill.

Demi* Yeah so much for that I'm dead. And the only thing that would bring me back to life is some spell about soul resurrection...

Barakal* We know the soul resurrection... That is a Warden power. And why do you think Elena taught that to Lich? Because she knew about the prophecy... We all knew about it. But before she could give the entire spell... She was executed.

Siegfried* Demi as much as we want you to stay., Your life isn't over yet... And it will never end.

Demi* I see... Wait, how come Vraak and Grashek knew about the spell?

Barakal* Because Vraak and Grashek were once Wardens.

Demi* Does that mean Vraak is here?

Vraak* Indeed I am...

(Demi finds Vraak looking alive)

Demi* You don't look like an undead anymore...

Vraak* Things change... once my soul was freed. So did my mind. And peace fixed my body..

Barakal* We will help you Demi all of us... Promise us That you will keep things running.

Demi* Have I done a bad job at that?

Barakal* Well for once your lovely castle is in ruins.

Demi* Pfft... Scrub.

Barakal* Chuckling* Fare well Demi...

(Barakal smiles at Demi and one by one the souls would enter Demi's astral body
And once the final soul has merged with Demi, a beam of white light engulfed the darkness)

(Meanwhile in the battlefield)

(As the Sepulcher defeats the Royalguards he was giving his to the fallen and dying undeads)

Sepulcher* Laughing* Your ideals don't match your strength! You should have just taken my offer!

Lich* (on the ground forcing himself up) Unlike you strength isn't everything for us.

Sepulcher* Then you will die weak!

Benelan* Exhausted* I never thought I'd get to live this long and participate in many battles... I will not fall now!

Reaper* Hang in there... We can still win, Now Saboteur!

(An undead from the ground crawls out and latches on to the Sepulcher)

(The Sepulcher then stabs Saboteur with his tendrils from his back)

Sepulcher* And what do you hope to accomplish?

Saboteur* (Holding on tightly) poor choice of attack!

(Saboteur then explodes spreading hot sticky liquid in any direction burning everything it touches)

(The Sepulcher yells out in pain)

Sepulcher* Deathworm acid!? How low can you get!? This is the end for you all!

(As the Sepulcher orders all the troops to attack, The Abyssal Dragon felt something weird)

Abyssal Dragon* Why do I feel hot? What is this?

(The stomach of the Abyssal Dragon starts grumbling)

Abyssal Dragon* What is this? (Let's go of the World Dragon) ( walks a few steps backwards)

The World Dragon* Exhausted* What is happening?

(The Abyssal Dragon suddenly explodes and with it Demi emerges surrounded by spirits cloaking him.)

The World Dragon* Demi!!!

(The Royalguards were shocked and so is the undead horde)

Lich* Lord Demi!

Sepulcher* What!? How!?

(Demi stands on the corpse of the Abyssal Dragon)

Demi* Sepulcher... Your Dragon has fallen. And soon you will too!

(Demi's surrounded by a cloak of souls and shadows, he has horns protruding from his head, shadow wings allowed him to glide through the air and a violet Sword in hand)

Sepulcher* The sword of mourning... How did you get that!?

Demi* Chuckling* Would you like to find out?

(Benelan aimed his lightning bow at the Sepulcher)

(Demi then lunges at the Sepulcher, before his blade could strike, A lightning bolt struck them and they both vanished)

Benelan* Gotcha... Demi I'm glad to see you alive. Its up to you now.

Chapter 9 Judgement day

(As Demi gains a significant amount of power, He faces the Sepulcher one last time.)

(Benelan brought Demi and the Sepulcher on the peak of the tower of Judgement)

(As the force of the lightning blasted Demi and the Sepulcher a great distance from one another)

Demi* My... my... How the tables have turned.

Sepulcher* Don't be cocky I have not been defeated yet!

(Demi looks and points to the moon of Hador)

Demi* Look... The Moon of Gram shines brightly behind Hador.

Sepulcher* An insignificant fact.

Demi* No it isn't... Hador represents you, and Gram represents me. I'm gaining the upper hand Sepulcher.

Sepulcher* Enough talk, let our blades do the talking.

(As Demi was about to take stance, the Sepulcher took the opportunity to sneak in 2 Skeletal Assassins behind Demi)

Demi* Do you really think me so dull to not notice them?

(A massive Knight clad in silver armor bursts from the ground and smashed the skeletal Assassins)

Silver Knight* Dirty as ever Sepulcher.

Sepulcher* Ahh Siegfried... How fares the land of the dead?

(Giant winged creatures suddenly descended on top of the tower)

Sepulcher* Now its on an equal playing field.

Demi* Siegfried... Take the monsters, I can't be interrupted.

Siegfried* Go, I've got this.

(Demi opened up the fight by stabbing his sword into the ground and caused rippled rocks to burst and hit the Sepulcher)

(The Sepulcher phased through the rocks and advanced on Demi, The Sepulcher then fired bolts of lighting at Demi)

(Demi spun his sword and redirected the flow of lighting, blasting the floor beneath the Sepulcher)

(The Sepulcher evaded the lighting blast and flew up into the air and slammed his Scythe on the ground with sheer force)

(The ground trembled and Morphers appeared from the cracks made by the quake)

(Demi raised his left hand and chains and chains of bones appeared from his cloak and entangled one of the Morphers)

Demi* This one is mine.

(Demi then dragged the Morpher towards himself)

(The Morpher struggles from the chains)

Demi* Sealing chains of Baphor!

(The Morpher turned into a rock)

(Demi then shatters the petrified Morpher)

Sepulcher* What was that about?

Demi* I needed its soul...

Sepulcher* What?

Demi* I am a Styxian... Those who die by my hand becomes a part of me.

(Demi then summons the Morpher he killed)

Demi* You've seen me from the inside... Now do what you do best.

(Demi Shrouded the area with a black fog)

(Then the Morpher transformed into an exact copy of the current Demi)

(When the fog vanished there was only Demi and no sign of the Morpher)

Sepulcher* I see what you did there... But you cannot fool me. I am the Sepulcher!

Demi* Lies soothes the mind don't they.

(As the Sepulcher and Demi clashes in sword and magic, the tower beneath them starts to tremble)

(The power of both Demi and the Sepulcher in the same place is upsetting the balance)

(The Sepulcher was able to sneak a blast of dark bolt towards Demi when the two was locked in combat)

(Demi dropped the sword of mourning and it was quickly snatched by the Sepulcher)

Sepulcher* Now let's see if this works on you!

(Demi tried to materialized a Scythe but before he can summon one he noticed that his footing was trapped by tendrils)

Sepulcher* Now die!

(The Sepulcher stabbed Demi with the sword of mourning)

Sepulcher* Laughing* its over!

Demi* ...

Sepulcher* What's wrong Demi, Can you feel the shiver down your spine?

Demi* I am Amodeus Mirabilis Demi... And I am the Sepulcher!

(Demi pushed the Sepulcher back, leaving the sword of mourning impaled at Demi)

(As the Sepulcher was pushed with great power he wasn't able to move, a violet sword suddenly pierced him from the back)

Sepulcher* NO! The Morpher!

(The copy of Demi stands behind the Sepulcher holding the sword of mourning)

Demi* You see... (Draws the sword of mourning out from himself) You're not invincible. 

Sepulcher* W-wait... wait let's make a deal!

Demi* Despicable!

(Demi flew into the air with the sword of mourning and as he charges down ready to stab the Sepulcher, the sword of mourning transformed into a white sword that glowed brightly)

Sepulcher* AAAAAAAAARGGHH!

Demi* When the living is done mourning the dead... A new day shall arrive where they are just memories.

(The bright light blasted Demi and everyone near the Sepulcher away)

Sepulcher* Wait... It doesn't hurt... Why?

Demi* Because I made sure you're not gonna feel this one.

Sepulcher* Kill me now if you can... If I get out of this, I will be the one to kill you.

Demi* Oh I'll kill you... I just won't be the one to do it. Lesson learned my friend.

Sepulcher* What!?

(Demi points behind the Sepulcher)

Sepulcher* NO! Kill me now Demi!

Vulgan* Am I allowed to eat this?

Demi* Leave no bone unbroken...

Vulgan* With pleasure!

(As Vulgan devours the Sepulcher, the white sword detaches itself and impales the ground)

(The tower trembles, and soon it explodes sending Demi and whoever was alive on its peak across the land)

(Demi unconscious falls from a great height, his soul armor is gone and he is back to his normal self)

(Demi fell into the darkness with the tower, and at the bottom there was a Woman who gently caught him and slowly laid him on her lap)

Woman* I'm so proud of you.

(Demi slowly opens his eyes)

Demi* who... What... !? Elena?

Elena* Hello my love, I've missed you so much.

Demi* how? This is a dream isn't it?

Elena* smiles* Well no... I'm not real either... I'm still a soul.

(Demi tries to get up)

Elena* Shh... Stay... Its alright Demi I'm here.

Demi* I don't know what to say... 

Elena* let's just enjoy the moment.

Perky Voice* Well aren't you love birds having the time of your life?

Demi&Elena* Barakal!?

Barakal* The one and only. Sister its nice to see you again!

Elena* Likewise... And I'm glad you actually kept your promise. Too bad you died though.

Barakal* Oh that's fine. At least things will be OK now.

Demi* The Sepulcher is dead.

(Demi gets up)

Demi* What now?

Barakal* Simple... You are now the Sepulcher. Do hold that from now on. Also I have a gift for you. 

(A white light emanates from barakal and Elena)

Elena* What are you doing?

Barakal* Look I can't stay like this forever you know. See you sister and take care of Demi!

(Barakal vanishes after he emmited a blinding bright light)

(When the light fades, Elena was with flesh)

Demi* !? I can touch you!

Elena* I'm alive!?

Demi* thank you... Old friend.

Demi* Let's go home Elena.

Elena* Yes let's go... So do you have a name for our kid?

Demi* Hmm... Not yet. How bout you?

Elena* I think I'd call her Illia

Demi* I like that.

(As the two takes a long walk towards castle Schrade, the moon of Hador has passed and the eclipse is over)

(The way is lighted up once more)

(As Demi and Elena walks, the Royalguards bow as Demi has finally taken his rightful place as the Sepulcher)

(Demi looks at castle Schrade)

Demi* Reaper!

Reaper* Yes my lord?

Demi* I thought I told you not a scratch?

Reaper* Well certain situations occurred... And-

Demi* Fix it!

Reaper* Yes my lord.

Demi* And everyone... Thank you.
Now fix this mess!

Lich* Lady Elena and Lord Demi... Its good to see you both.

Elena* Lich its nice to see you as well. Still dead and all...

Lich* What will you do now My Lord?

Demi* Well... With the Sepulcher gone. No one will siphon the life out of this planet anymore. So I'm pretty sure the others would rebuild.

Lich* All hail Demi the Sepulcher!

(Everyone)* Hail Demi the Sepulcher!

(The world Dragon stands tall)

The world dragon* Well done Demi... I knew you could do it!

(Demi and Elena smiles as they both held their hands together)

Demi* Thank you for believing in me.

(700 Styxian years have passed)

(Inside the throne room of Castle Schrade)

Demi* Ahh finally I can rest...

(The Lich is reading tomes)

(The moment Demi sits in his throne, a young woman can be heard yelling)

Perky female voice* DAD!!! DAD!!!

(The doors suddenly bursts open)

Young woman* Dad are what's written in these books true!?

Demi* Illia lower your voice please...

Illia* Did you do all of this, I find it hard to believe!

Lich* Young lady you have no idea.

Illia* It says here the floating continent of the Wardens were destroyed. I can see it over there.

Demi* Let mum tell you the story honey, let daddy rest.

Illia* Dad I'm 699 years old, I think I know when I'm being fooled.

(Mavelle bursts open the door)

Mavelle* My lord!

Demi* what is it?

Mavelle* The humans have found the Glyph of life. And they are at the castle of creation.

Lich* It seems that... The work of the Sepulcher is never over.

Demi* I can't even sit down.

Hard times will always occur and it always Seems like hope will never be given... But always believe in yourself, And If you find it difficult you always have friends to support you. Being immortal is one thing... Spending an endless time is another. My name is Demi, and that concludes my story.
