The looming death

Edward ran frantically to the peak of the mountain where a beautiful building was situated. Out of breath he put Arsh down on the ground in front of the gate, of the beautiful Temple.

”What i am going to tell you may sounds like bullshit but there is still a way to save samantha and the villagers. You have to pray to the god inside of the temple, He is not benevolent. No god is. Just plead to him, he is the only being that can help us now ”

Arsh nodded silently and entered the temple. Edward started running back towards the village or whatever is left of it.

Arsh was silent his eyes had no lights in it, just a faint glimmer of hope for his mother to be saved again. He walked in the corrider made of black marbels, which was perfectly devouring every bit of sunlight coming to it.

He moved to the crest at the very end of the temple. It was terrifying to look at the crest, it contained a face which was certainly not human and its 4 eyes. Which looked like a painting of some kind of Monstrosity.

Arsh denied his inner fear and started pleading while shouting his lungs out.

”Please save my mother you can take whatever you want from me i don care if you are benevolent or not just please save my mother please ”

He started pleading to the silent carving of the Monstrosity. He kept pleading for hours until his legs gave out , even then he didn stopped pleading. The light around Arsh started to dim and his vision turned completely blurry. He never felt something like this, but he knew what this feeling was – he was nearing his death.

Everything around him turn dark. It was peak afternoon, the time for sun to be brightest but it was all dark in the temple no light inside.

Arsh didn wanted to die like this. Not until those 5 are alive. He grinded his teeth and jerked himself awake from all the tension pented up inside of his body.

[Death is eternal i even the death god can go against the order of the nature]

Arsh heard something clearly and it sounded very ominous. He lifted his head to see the source of this ominous voice.

What he saw was pair of 4 eyes looking directly at him from the darkness. It was at that moment primordial fear took hold of him. His very body being compelled to bow in reverence to this being.

He tried to speak but it didn worked, his body was frozen stiff with fear of the ominous being.

He started thinking back to his conversation with Edward and remembered what Edward has promised him. He tried to overcome the fear with will power, in which he succeeded after some time.

He took a deep breath and started shouting with every fiber of his being at the darkness with eyes.

”What the hell you mean you can save my mother. You are a god ,you created this whole universe. Every human pray to you, there should be nothing impossible for you ”

The eyes blinked one time and the darkness remained quite for some moments and then he again heard the voice of the ominous being.

[Let me rephrase it then – I won help you whatever you are ready to sacrifice, i don need it. Go back to the other side of the mountain. Go and live thier for rest of your life ,away from the eyes of the other god]

Arsh again dropped to ground with his face hitting the ground. The whole temple was surrounded by darkness and it was like the death itself have descended.

The temple rang again. But this time it was a voice containing enormous rage.

”That man and mom was right. Gods are not benevolent creatures ”

”The crest carved on the clothes of those men was of the churches that i saw in the books ”

”Now i know why Mom hated Gods, They were our enemies from the start. They are the reason my Mom died that gruesome death. They were the reason for all the misfortunes fallen on the villagers. Also I were the reason. I was too weak to protect what was important to me ”

He took a deep breath and lifted his head up and started staring the darkness right into its eyes.

”I am going to kill every single one of you. You are playing gods from above and doing whatever you please. I don care what any of you are,demon, myths or the god itself. I am going to live and butcher every single one of you in the most grotesque way possible ”

”I swear that on my mothers name. Ill kill the death itself if it means i can revive my mother. Just wait and see, any being in the universe will not be able to stop me. You can try and stop me i am coming for every single one of you ”

The 4 eyes of the ominous being were still staring Atsh in the eyes and then the dark voice rang throughout the whole mountain.

[Death is eternal]

[Beginning is the start of the end]

As the darkness started to fade the whole temple started rumbling. It was then the temple had a loud explosion. And arsh was flunked into the river flowing through the mountain.

While he was drifting in the river he opened his eyes again. Now his eyes was not hollow; it contained meaning, rage and Tenacity. As he drifted in the cold river and his consciousness started to wash away, he again declared in a low voice.

” ”I s..w..ear i a…m gonna Kill ev…ery sin….gle one of the…m. ” ”
