*sniff sniff*
Faraam shivered a little the man seemed to hear a cry, he then investigated the trunk more carefully until he found a small entrance in the tree, carefully Faraam entered the dimly lit place…
Faraam made a small spark appear in his hand that lit up the place…
The man's eyes opened in surprise as in front of him was a woman with strange ears these were pointed she also had blue hair, this one stared at Faraam revealing Blue eyes like the deepest ocean...
Faraam - Who are you?
???- ….
.
.
Currently
The woman did not respond to Faraam, but she showed a lot of fear in her eyes…
Faraam took another step towards the woman and extended his hand towards her.
Faraam- Are you okay?
The woman remained silent, but this time a light filled her palm revealing a pointed crystal, with this the woman pointed to Faraam, it was possible to see the crystal shaking due to the hands of its bearer who showed great fear. …
???- STAY AWAY… DEMON
Faraam stopped his walk and faced the woman…
Faraam- Demon? I don't think you understand, I'm here to help...
The young woman's eyes relaxed a little until they were on guard again.
???- Liar… you… m-killed them all…
The woman started to cry, tears streamed down her face and the crystal that was in her hand trembled uncontrollably….
Faraam- I don't understand what you're talking about... but if this is related to the abyss I'll help you...
Hearing this the woman relaxed her muscles slightly and lowered the crystal that had been pointing so far towards Faraam..
The man walked up to the woman and gave her a hug and she just cried for a few minutes…
Some minutes later
Faraam was sitting on the floor and in front of him was a beautiful woman who looked at him with doubt and curiosity…
Faraam- So… what's your name?
???- My name is… Dyana
Faraam- Hmm … Dyana … now that you've calmed down can you explain to me who the 'you' are and why you called me a devil …
Dyana was a little embarrassed due to her actions and looked away from Faraam…
Dyana- I apologize… but the lord emanates an aura very similar to the demon known as Gwyn…
Faraam-…
Dyana- Thanks to this man several of my friends died….
Pharaoh- Who killed them?
Dyana- This monster's armies did it... they burned what they call Arch-Trees... but these are our homes...
Faraam- Wait… you live inside this tree?
Dyana slightly shook her head in affirmation…
Dyana- I used to live ... as you know I'm not human... I'm a spirit and as such the beings of my race created great hollow trees where we inhabit and protect this world from the abyss and from its servants the 'old gods'...
Faraam showed a look of surprise in his eyes and his hands were trembling slightly for now knowing that he himself had killed several innocents without knowing it…
Faraam- And why is Gwyn a demon, Dyana?
Dyana- When he came to this world and touched the primordial flame… that flame prevented the beings from the abyss from entering this world and now thanks to that foolish demon the way has been opened to the abyss and now that monster is trying to destroy this world… but why do you show so much curiosity about this being?
Faraam sighed lightly and replied to Dyana…
*haaaaa*
Faraam- He is my father...
When Dyana heard this she got up and summoned a crystal in her hand, she was ready to attack Faraam at any moment...
Dyana- GIVE ME A REASON NOT TO END YOUR LIFE NOW DEMON
Faraam- I'm fighting the abyss and Gwyn... he's been corrupted... I don't want this world to be destroyed... and like you my goal is to protect this world by eradicating the abyss...
Dyana- ….
*Boommm*
The ground shook heavily causing some dust to rise in the air where Faraam and Dyana were...
*Roaarrr*
A roar echoed through the hollow trunk of the tree, drawing their attention…
Faraam and Dyana exchanged glances and decided to run out of the place...
Arriving outside the trunk a thick fog covered the place and it was only possible to see a figure that staggered towards Faraam and Dyana…
Dyana- He seems to be injured…
The woman was going to walk towards the figure but a hand appeared in front of her to prevent it…
Dyana- Wha-
Faraam- Look more closely Dyana…
Looking more closely Dyana can see that the figure had completely black armor without much detail, but what caught the eye was the black liquid that dripped through the gaps in it...
Dyana shivered slightly at what she saw and looked at Faraam as he kept his gaze on the sword that the figure carries with him…
Dyana- That liquid…
Faraam- It seems that the abyss has taken over the body of this unfortunate soul…
*Roaarrr*
Another roar could be heard, but this time it was aimed at Faraam...
Without any warning, the black armored figure jumped into the mist, leaving Dyana and Faraam confused but seconds later it appeared again behind the two... Faraam was going to use his spear to stop the being's attack but a wall of blue crystals appeared from the ground , but almost instantly they were torn apart by the knight who acted like a mad beast .
With considerable speed the figure ran towards Dyana, but a spear appeared in his vision almost hitting him on the head... the knight focused his gaze on Faraam and advanced on the man, with his sword the figure ran dodging lightning and attacks from Faraam …
The knight was face to face with Faraam, seeing that he could eliminate the man the figure jumped into the air to try to kill the man with his sword, but something happened Faraam's spear was coated with electricity and with an indescribable force the knight's sword was split and the figure was sent away with the force of the blow…
Looking at his hands the knight could only see the hilt of his sword seeing this the figure threw it towards Faraam making the man dodge, but at that exact moment the knight started running towards Dyana…
Dyana- STAY AWAY FROM ME!!
Several walls of crystals appeared in front of the figure, but he just broke them using the claws he had and when he was about to get his hands on the woman's neck, the knight stopped moving...
Dyana could see what was inside the armor through the gaps in the helmet… there was only darkness… the woman trembled and didn't understand what happened until she noticed a hand that was around the figure's neck…
The knight stretched out his hands towards Dyana and tried to attack her like a foolish beast but Faraam had this knight held by the neck...
Faraam- What do we do with him?
*Roaarrr*
Dyana- I might be able to heal him…
Faraam- Oh… try it then…
The small woman stretched her hands towards the struggling knight, in her hands a golden glow appeared…
Dyana- ArchLight …
An intense light covered the place and with this the liquid covering the knight seemed to be rapidly evaporating…
The knight seemed to regain his body momentarily…
???- Hungry …. Please ….
Suddenly a gigantic amount of darkness surrounded the being... Faraam seeing this threw the man towards the ground thus causing a small crater to appear and with his left hand he made a Lightning appear and launched the same at the Knight...
*Brommm*
In the place where the Knight was, only ashes and a small pool of black liquid remained…
Dyana walked to the side of the puddle and made a crystal appear and caused the liquid to enter the crystal thus giving it a completely black color...
Dyana walked in front of Faraam who was looking at her doubtfully, the woman extended her hand with the crystal towards the man…
Dyana- For you… this is a vote of my… trust…
Faraam - What is this?
Dyana- It's a fragment of the abyss... you can create a powerful monster with that crystal...
The white haired man stared at the crystal doubtfully…
Faraam- I guess I have no use for something so dangerous…
Dyana- If you give that to someone you can turn that someone into a 'Boss' and an intense fog will appear which will prevent someone from entering the area of that fog if there is someone inside it already...
Faraam- Boss?
Dyana- It's a being created from the abyss and it's stronger than normal creating an intense fog from its body... I think that's it... at least that's how Mr Acnologia explained it...
Faraam stared at Dyana while doubting her sanity after all the man was hearing things very hard to believe...
Faraam- And who is this Acnologia?
Dyana- A god…
Faraam- Impossible as far as I know all gods come from the tower of Babel or from another dimension if there were another one here, I would know...
The woman looked at Faraam strangely, but decided to ignore it…
Dyana- Maybe you don't know, but gods can be born naturally and lord Acnologia was born from the roots of Arch-Trees
The man was looking at Dyana in amazement at what he had just discovered…
Faraam- I had no idea this was possible…
*Scrrr*
A loud creaking was heard around the place, forcing Faraam and Dyana to put their hands over their ears…
When the two looked in the direction of the sound they saw a very thin man with brown hair that almost touched the ground, his body was thin and covered in blood red tribal tattoos that seemed to glow brightly...
The man happily walked with a black sword in his hand and he seemed to be whistling a song…
♫Fiu fiu fiu smells like food ♫
???- Where did he end up? Hmmm… I think the master will be disheartened…
Dyana felt a strong shiver covering her entire body and with that she decided to hide behind Faraam who was already in an attack position…
The man wearing almost no clothes noticed the two of them and a crooked smile appeared on his face…
???- ♫Look what we have here… two little rabbits… hmmm…. How lucky… I was getting hungry♫
The man's tattoos and weapon glowed intensely and milliseconds later he disappeared leaving dust behind, but soon after he appeared in front of Faraam giving a powerful punch to his spear sending him flying away and causing the spear to crack a little bit …
The man looked at Dyana who was lying on the floor and licked his lips…
???- ♫A spirit… what a rare prey to find…♫
The man raised his sword and was going to lower it towards the woman's head, but a closed fist hit the man's face making him take a few steps back...
???- ♫Hmmm… very weak… hahaha…♫
A red aura started to be released from the weapon and the man was going to launch an attack until it stopped moving...
???- ♫Tsk … looks like I have to go … my master is calling me …. And it looks like they found me... ♫
A giant shadow covered Faraam and Dyana and then a huge boom could be heard...
*Boommm*
???- ♫I'm leaving, but I'll be waiting for our next meeting…. Little rabbits…♫
A red glow surrounded the man and he evaporated in the air leaving behind Faraam and Dyana who were trying to understand what happened, but they didn't have time to think as a dragon landed behind them...
The beast was entirely black and had only one eye in the middle of its forehead and also carried with it four majestic wings….
Faraam pointed his weapon at the beast, the man was already tired of fighting and Dyana didn't seem to be very strong...
The man felt a hand on his shoulder and could see Dyana with a smile on her face…
Dyana- Faraam the spirits and the dragons are friends there's no reason to use weapons...
???- Hmmm… a spirit and a false god together… a strange combination…
The white haired man slowly lowered his weapon and faced the creature…
Faraam- What do you want from us?
???- I want you to accompany me little king…
Pharaoh- King?
???- Aren't you the one who rules Lordran?
Faraam- No…. That is… my father …
???- Oh … but still the great Acnologia wants to talk to you …
Faraam looked at the dragon doubtfully the man then shifted his gaze to Dyana who seemed to jump in happiness knowing that she was going to see Acnologia…
*aaaa*
With a sigh Faraam replied to the black dragon…
Faraam- Show the way….
???- Hmmm… it will be faster if you fly with me…
Hearing this Faraam and Dyana climbed onto the great dragon's back and it took flight...
Minutes later
A black shape slashed across the sky at great speed in this shape were Faraam and Dyana who were talking while Dyana used some magic to heal Faraam who apparently broke some bones in the last battle...
Faraam- Thank you Dyana….
Dyana- No.. I… I have to thank you… if it weren't for you, maybe I wouldn't even be here…
Faraam- I just did what anyone would do...
Dyana gave Faraam a small punch on the right arm as she lashed out…
Dyana- You are very strong unlike me...
Faraam-….
Faraam clenched his hands tightly as he thought of that man with the trivial red marks... if they had fought a little longer maybe he wouldn't be here now...
Faraam- I am we-
Dyana- Could you be my master?
Dyana cut off Faraam's sentence with a question he never expected to hear.
Faraam - What?
Dyana- You know you are very strong and I want to be strong … and maybe I can end the abyss once and for all!
Dyana had her fist raised in the air and kept a comical face, while Faraam looked at the woman with nostalgia as Dyana had many similarities with her sister Gwynevere…
Dyana- And then?
Faraam had his hand on his chin as he thought….
Faraam- I … accept
Dyana- Thank you master…
???- You two… hold on we are almost there…
Some time later the dragon landed on top of a mountain, more precisely on the wreckage of a castle, in the distance it was possible to see the body of a gigantic dragon that covered an entire mountain...
Faraam was amazed at what he saw, descending from the dragon Dyana pulled him by his hand…
The woman's face looked very tired…
Faraam- Hmm...
Dyana- I'll use another way to save my energy now that I'm out of my house...
An intense light appeared and in Faraam's hand was a necklace with a blue crystal...
Faraam- But w-
Dyana- It's me master… so I can save my energies more easily…
Faraam-…
The man stared at the dragon waiting for some indication, the beast faced Faraam and pointed with its paw towards a flat space and towards the gigantic dragon's body...
Walking slowly Faraam sat in a meditation position while waiting for something to happen... everything around the man disappeared and he was now facing a blue haired man with several tribal tattoos on his body...
Acnologia- Nice to meet you Faraam… I was waiting for you
Faraam- What do you want from me?
Acnologia- Do you want to know who made your father fall into the abyss... do you want to know who killed your mother too?
Faraam just nodded his head as he waited for Acnologia to speak…
Acnologia- Keep this name with you Faraam… Kratos… and he is your grandfather… he is also the creator of the abyss…
Faraam glared at the dragon god as he clenched his fists to keep his hands from shaking…
Faraam- And how are we going to stop him?
Acnologia- We have to destroy the abyss in this world… I have many more people doing the same in other worlds… if we can… he will get weaker and at that moment… let's kill him… what do you say boy?
Faraam- I... I don't know...
Acnologia- What do you mean you don't know?
Faraam- And my father?
Acnologia- He has been corrupted by the abyss… he has to die…
Faraam-….
*hAaaaa*
Acnologia sighed and placed one of his hands on the man's shoulder and looked into his eyes…
Acnologia- Listen to me Faraam… I know your heart is in the right place but… how am I going to tell you this…. There is …. The world doesn't care about that and will spare no efforts to kill you… Faraam if you really want to save this world and…. Your sisters I recommend that you help me…
Faraam didn't know what to say as the man had so many things going through his head which prevented him from making a decision...
Faraam-…
Acnologia- When you decide what you want to do, come back here…
The environment around Faraam returned to normal revealing a dragon that looked at him with intrigue...
???- So?
Faraam- Take me back...
Hours later in Lordran
After having talked to Acnologia Faraam returned to his house, the man was now walking through Lordran's gardens while thinking about what Acnologia told him
*sniff sniff*
Faraam heard something through the bushes in the garden, approaching closer he could see his sister Eleanor crying in his hands…
Faraam- Eleanor?
Eleanor- Brother…
The woman hastened to wipe the tears from her pure face, but Faraam approached and stared at her for some time…
Faraam- What happened?
Eleanor- Faraam… several things happened…
*sniff sniff*
The tears were now flowing non-stop…
Eleanor- He... he... killed Mister Gough and Miss Ciaran for treason...
Faraam- Who...
Eleanor- Gwyn …
A look of pure anger came over Faraam's face, something Eleanor had never seen her older brother do...
Faraam- Where is Gwyndolin to stop this?
Eleanor- Sister Gwyndolin was sent to the depths of Lordran for being 'sick'...
Faraam- He … arrested her … that … aaaaa … a-n-ddd … Gwynevere
Eleanor swallowed hard as she thought about her sisters…
Eleanor- She disappeared overnight… Gwyn wants to send me to the Ringed City too….
Lightning coursed through Faraam's body thanks to the man's rage...
Faraam- That won't happen... I'll kill him...
Faraam was about to start walking, but Eleanor gave the man a hug as she stopped him from walking…
Eleanor- Please brother… don't do anything if you try anything… you will die too… and I don't want that… nobody wants this
Faraam-…
Faraam broke free of the embrace and placed his hand on Eleanor's head...
Faraam- Don't worry I'll solve this now….
Faraam walked into the castle disappearing from the sight of Eleanor who was lying on the ground...
Eleanor- I… I shouldn't have told you anything… what I did…
Said the woman as tears streamed down her eyes and wet her beautiful white clothes…
Faraam walked slowly through the halls of the castle with a gigantic rage, arriving in front of Gwyn's office he could see the door slightly open just like several years ago when the abyss corrupted his father...
Faraam looked inside and could see his father talking to a stone that showed a white man with red tattoos…
Kratos- Did you take care of them all?
Gwyn- Yes all the worms that wanted to delay your plans were destroyed...
Kratos- hmmm … a subject of mine spoke about your son … he was with a … spirit …
Gwyn- When he comes back I'll have a talk with him...
Kratos- And Eleanor?
Gwyn- She will be sent to the Ringed City…
A psychotic smile was on Kratos' face as he looked at Gwyn...
Kratos- Very well the pieces are all aligned perfectly…
Dyana- 'Keep calm master'
Faraam as several years ago was trembling, but this time it was not fear, but anger an intense bloodlust, but with the rest of sanity that Faraam managed to keep the man decided to return to the mountain where he met Acnologia...
Faraam- 'I'm calmer than ever Dyana...'
.
.
.
In .Faraam's subconscious…
Faraam and the system were speechless with everything they saw and heard…
Faraam- What the fuck...
System- Oh my god...
Faraam- When I meet Kratos I'll make him pay for everything he's done….
System- I will do my best to support the player in the murder of that Saitama and Krillin cosplay...
Faraam-…
In the castle of the capital of Kian
Elayne was looking at the painting from where she heard the strange voice last time...
Elayne - Sir?
???- Y̶̛̪̽̽̀͠o̶͇̲͌u̸̳͔̒͛̆ ̸̛̾̍̕͜͠c̸̞̞̪͒͛́͜͜a̴̤̤̩̠̋͠m̶̛̭͉͈͗͝ͅe̸̳͛̂ ̶̝̲̟̀͒͘b̷̩̠̜̪͋a̸̩͘c̴͖̉̇̚̕k̸̮̬̰̰͝ ̶̛̞̮̗̎̔͒͜c̵͕̒̀̚͝h̴̢̛̓͑í̴̡̀͋̈́l̶̯̂̄͑̋̚d̶̡̞̳̬̟̍̈́͋̚,̵̝̲͔͆͘ ̶͈̓ä̷͚̈́͆̒p̷̟͎̈́ṕ̸̨̼̗̝̂͐r̸͚̠̅͐̓o̴͉̮̻͔͊̕͜å̴͉͚̠͙̮c̴͕̟̥̝̦̅̏̚͝h̶̼͌
Elayne walked to the front of the painting while carrying an innocent look.
Elayne- And now?
???- T̵͓͎͌̑͑ö̷̭̯̖́͋u̷̮͕͑͝c̸̡̄̂̎̄̑h̷̢̫͈̼͖̃͂̀͝ ̴̯̞̘͝ț̴̦̯̝̞͌͒͋̇h̶͕͊͝ė̷̬͔͇̣̑̍͠ͅ ̵̨̨͍͕͉̿̌̏͘p̵͚̙͓̻̈́́́̾͛ả̶̡̦́̃̌̕i̵͙͍͉͕͂̅n̴̪̼͐t̶͖̦͂͝i̵͖̮͒̃̀͛̋n̸̫̹̤̾̎̾̇̔ḡ̵̫̻̝́
The voice echoed through the hallway and as if the child was in a trance she did what the voice commanded her touching this painting a hand came out of it revealing some trivial red paintings on this one, this hand grabbed the child's wrist...
Eleanor- Aaaaa…. help...
From the shadows of the hallway, Usan leapt carrying a dagger ready to slay the enemy...
But it was too late when the voice sensed Usan's presence and pulled Elayne towards the painting making the child disappear altogether...
Usan ran towards the painting and touched it with no response back...
Usan- Oh no… oh no no no no
The assassin then disappeared from the scene and ran towards Arthuria...
