The twilight seemed to be broken throughout the sky, as it had done when Zane broke its hold over the twilit people. As it did, the sky was black and plumy, and from the top of the building a massive horned figure with red eyes looked down on Zane. The time wraith, Jataque.

"The one that tormented my family for years.....I'm glad he's finally dead." He continued to walk down the bridge, reflecting his life.
-
The time wraith reeled in pain and fell behind the building, and the sky churned into a snow storm. This happened as he neared the oaken door, which had a large door knocker on the right and left side of the double doors. The snow cut across his face and he felt ice freeze to his eyelashes and eyebrows.

-
A sound of the two pieces hitting against one another echoed across the vastness of Zane's area. The snow continued to bite away at him as the two doors suddenly jolted, and began to open slowly and widely in front of him. Inside, Zane only saw a dark and vast abyss, with a large amount of light shining down on one part of it. He couldn't see what it was from where he stood. Then, he noticed something else, just something that caught his eye. All of the numbers on the clock, they were mirrored as they should be on the front of the building. The one was backwards and the two, as well as the three.

-
As he stood in the centre, he saw that ahead of him the number [i]12.[/i] clockwise, was a [i]1[/i], and so on around him. He stood in the centre of a reflected clock, and as he looked to where the light came from, he saw the clock on the inside of the building had its numbers in the correct way. Then, Zane heard footsteps.
-
He turned around to face the person that was waking to him. "Who's there?"
-
He saw a figure in the dark then step into the light, and immediately Zane recognized the figure. He had long black shaggy hair and wore a black cloak around himself. He had light blue skin and Amber eyes which he used to look at Zane. He was relaxed as he gave Zane a small grin. "Well...looks like you've finally ended up here." Said Cyrus. Or was it the Time wraith?
-
Edited by Zane the 3rd: 9/10/2017 8:50:27 PM"Yeah....killed by a power hungry tyrant no less." He let out a heavy sigh. "Where exactly is here anyway? This is a lot different from when I first died."
-
"Well I suppose the difference this time, is that you haven't died. Well...yet." Cyrus told Zane as the figure looked around the abyss nonchalantly.
-
"Wait, what do you mean I haven't died yet? I'm in limbo or something like that?"
-
"No. What I am saying is, I tore your soul out of your body so we could speak within the time Tywin swings, and when he kills you. I have taken you to a place where time travels in such a minuscule amount, you could spend a life time here within the time someone in your world takes a single step."
-
"Aaand how the hell did you manage to tear the soul out of my living body?"
-
"Before death, the soul becomes malleable to the point that a creature of great power can take it from its host. That is why the term "before you die, your life flashes before your eyes." Comes from. It is the rapid transformation of the soul before death." The wraith explained. But then, he chuckled as he shook his head. "But come on now, these sorts of questions aren't important at the moment. What you should be concerned about, is what world you will be leaving behind."
-
"I know what il be leaving. Il be letting Tywin win. He'll have control of the world, and nobody will be able to stop him."
-
"Indeed. But...is that so bad? Letting him win? And why do YOU have to stop him...?"
-
"Because my family is still down there, along with the dojo. It's my duty to protect them, because there is nobody else that can."
-
"Ah....you are so right. Or at least, you had the best chance, but now you are about to die." Cyrus said. "Well, maybe if you had some of your friends with you, you could have stood a greater chance against him."
-
"Some friends?" He let out a light chuckle, but there was nothing funny. It was a laugh filled with sadness. "They all died, my family's all I got left and I'm not involving them."
-
"Oh? Well they don't necessarily have to be ALIVE. Well, completely that is!" "Okay nope! No way! No way in hell am I waiting any more!" Suddenly said a familiar voice that came from the darkness.
-
"What the hell? Alex, that you?!"
-
Then, out from the dark, the figure stood. Tall, healthy and able, along with his usual smug grin, he chuckled as Zane called him out. "In the fle-err...no...not in the flesh. More like, in the trippy limbo shit you were talking about. Yup. That sounds about more like it." Alex told him.
-
"Wait, why aren't you in the afterlife? And where's Anne?"
-
"Remember the whole "getting soul stolen" Cyrus here was talking about? Yup. That's what happened to me." He told Zane. "And Anne? Well..." he grinned. "Let's just say, I won the race." Alex said rather cryptically.
-
"God damn it Alex..." He let out a chuckle, this one filled with a bit of joy from seeing his friend. "So will she be joining us?"
