Chapter 5

I opened my eyes, I was in a dark void. Somehow I felt at peace here, Like, I belonged here. "Man you have to be more responsible with your body." said a voice that came out of nowhere. "Who are you?" I ask. "Really that's what you ask? Who am I? Not, oh my god where am I? Or What is this place. You ask me my name. I can't believe I'm inside an idiot like you." It responds.

"Listen, people have been calling me an idiot for awhile now, and I mean it is an actual question." I say, annoyed. "You mortals are getting weirder each time I see your kind. Last time they said something like W-Where am I? But you just casually ask me my name. How are you not even scared, or at least startled. You're in a black void for Morael's sake."

"But fine, I'll tell you my name. I am Glamos!" He says that last bit with enthusiasm, and when he says his name something appears in front of me. Not human but very close to having human characteristics. It has two legs, A face, but it's whole body seems. Dull.

"Oh so you're the guy inside of me." I say, guessing it's him.. "Don't say it like that that sounds, really "weird" if you know what I'm saying."

"No I don't, also what is this place?" I say, almost jokingly. "H-he finally asks the question!" Glamos says sarcastically, "we are inside your mind."

So that's why I felt at peace here. "Now listen up Glamos, time is getting cut short, you have to unlock my other powers." He says. "But how do I unlock your powers?" I ask "Through emotion, they are unlocked by strong feelings, and when those feelings get complicated they get mixed!" he yells. I have a feeling of getting pulled upwards. He smiles and says "Good luck, and make sure you don't die again!" Wait what? Die again?

I sit upwards, almost launching myself off the bed I was laying off. Alice was standing besides my bed. "I told you it would work." She says to a figure in the door. Alexis walks in. "Whew, I thought my test subject was gonna die." She says jokingly. Although I'm not really sure if she actually thinks that I'm her test subject or not. I look at my stomach, the hole that was caused by that spell, that man Ragnar launched at me, was gone from sight. I look at the bed stand, there lies a sapphire blue potion. "Oh so you noticed this?" Alice says as she picks up the blue potion.

"This is called a healing potion, I say that because I'm not sure if you've seen one or not." "Is that what healed me?" I ask. Alice opens her mouth, but Alexis cuts in. "Actually no, that was barely even 5 percent of what healed your wound." "What was the other 95 percent?" I ask. "We actually don't really know, your body rejected most of the healing potion and instead decided to heal itself, and I'm guessing it's because of your elemental power."

"Wait," I say. "How are you still alive?" I ask pointing at Alice. "Angels don't die very easily, the only real way to kill us is by burning us in hellfire, or by decapitating us." I just stare at her. "Uh, both of those seem like horrible ways to die." "Yea, they are. But honestly, most people don't know a thing or two about fire magic, much less hellfire. We usually avoid things that could get us decapitated."

I suddenly remember. "Wait, what happened to the city?" I look at Alexis, she averts her eyes. I glance at Alice, her head is down. "Everyone except us… died." "Where's Jace?" I ask, I gaze at Alexis, her face is grim. "Did he not make it?" I say. But from the silence, I can already tell, he's gone. The room stays silent for a few minutes before Alice says, "Glamos, you know how I talked about Angels dying by hellfire?" "Yea" I respond.

"Well the thing you did before when you were fighting that man was a lower tier of hellfire." "Really?" I say. "You don't seem to be grasping the idea here, Hellfire is much more powerful than your run of the mill fire. Hellfire is a combination of Fire and Darkness. We angels root out evil and darkness where ever it is found. I hadn't realised this until now, but you should avoid using any thing dark near me, or else." she says.

"Ok, I promise you I won't use anything dark or evil near you." I say, mostly because I wouldn't want to anger an angel, and because she just revived me from the brink of death. Well she partially revived me. "Glamos, you were talking in your sleep." Alexis blurts out. Alice looks at her, with a glare. "What did I say?" I ask.

Alice sighs "We weren't going to tell you, but since Alexis here had to blurt that out. You said stuff like you have to unlock my other powers, and you can unlock them by emotions, but the way you were talking sounded like you were talking to yourself, or to someone else."

I don't know if I should tell them, I thought. "I was talking to… Glamos." I said with a kinda reluctant voice. "You mean to say, that you managed to talk to the elemental that is stuck inside of you? T-this is an amazing discovery!" Alexis said.

I tried to stand up, my legs gave out halfway. I tumbled to the ground, I didn't notice until now but, my clothes were torn and shredded. I looked like vagabond. These clothes were made for me by, by my now dead mentor.

I felt a small bit of rage, but it was flooded over by my grief. I never really had the chance to grieve over his death, or time to really acknowledge it. I could feel tears slightly welling up in my eyes, my mentor was the only person I really ever knew. I know he wasn't my father, but he seemed to be the only family I had left.

I started feeling drowsy, I hadn't actually slept. The only times I was able to close my eyes because I wanted to was a few days ago. In Between that time, I've only been knocked out, and that isn't actual sleep. I shut my eyes, and thought of the past, the past before I met my mentor, the past before I was born. Before I knew it I was asleep and living memories that weren't my own.
