Hey again, this story was posted for a short time before. However it looked like crap in my opinion, i revised it a bit. This is the first story i have ever written seriously about five years ago. Anyway, i would like to potentially add more to it, so as always criticism is welcome.
By the way, you may notice for a five year old story it should be longer. Well at the time i wrote this story i didn't pursue writing as something i wanted to do. Not to mention when i thought up new ideas for other stories i left this one kind of naked. Maybe someone here could tell me if this one has potential, if it doesn't it may just die out.
Hell's Awakening
Prologue
Long ago in a land of corrupted might called Mertogos there was a tyrannical leader by the name of
Ghastrum. Who ruled his kingdom with an iron fist, he was always torturing or imprisoning people of his
kingdom. One day he was told from one of his soldiers that there was a book he had obtained from the house
of a warlock. It told of powers hidden throughout the world. This is what the book said:
"One dark, One light. These powers were so powerful that if anyone got a hold of one of the powers, he
would be unstoppable. He would be capable of amazing feats. With the power of Light you could create
virtually anything, With the power of Darkness you could destroy the very fabric of space and time itself.
However dont think that just because its light and dark they are categorized as good and evil. If someone
with the power of light is evil he will continue to be evil, If someone with the power of darkness is good
then he will continue to be good. However be cautious for the "Evil One", who could be residing with any
of these powers. If you take a power that has the "Evil One" linked with it he will overtake you."
Lord Ghastrum liked the idea of more power and couldnt care less about some "Evil One". Because either way
he was who he was. He went in search of this power.....However another king wanted this power as well.
In the kingdom called Issara, the ruler, Dremadia was lord. He had been told the tales of the two powers
by his father, Lord Sixarba. Unlike Ghastrum, Lord Dremadia was a very kind king who cared for his
kingdom. For 6 years he has ruled this kingdom, with the sudden death of his father. Dremadia was only 27
years old and he was taking care of Issara well. Now as he sits on his throne he looks out and Mertogos
soldiers are seen marching towards Issara.
"Now is the time!" I said to myself
*Dremadia is now remembering what happened as his father lay dying six years ago*
"Father!" I yelled
"Son, you have to take care of Issara now, its in your hands" he said
"Father...I cant im not that strong....Im still weak!" I said in anguish
"Ofcourse you can, you have to train up and get stronger, otherwise this kingdom might be finished"
"Yes i will...."
"Listen son, There will be an attack on Issara sometime in the future, you have to be ready!"
"How do you know that!?"
"Lets just say i dabbled in something i wasnt supposed to"
"Will i win!?"
"That depends on you. On that day you will also recieve a great power, but at a great price. What that
price is i dont know"
"Here take this..." he said while handing me his blade
"The most holy relic in all of Issara!?"
"Yes, the Issarian blade "Luminous Darkness", promise me you will use it well and only when you need to"
"Yes...I promise" I said
"I must leave you now, peace be with you son"
"NO dont go yet, stay longer!!" I yelled frantically
"I must....make me proud"
After he said that he seemed to evaperate into dust that swiftly went up into the air.
"No Fa...Father......Father, Father, Father......FAAATHER NOO DONT GOOOO!!"
*Back to present time*
"I remember now father...I WILL make you proud!" I said to myself
As Dremadia walked outside the castle he saw hundreds of people battling in his kingdom. Men, Women, and
Children being slaughtered without remorse. His own soldiers having trouble bringing their enemies down.
"This beautiful kingdom is being brought down to its knees, I'm going to fight too!"
Dremadia pulled out the sword his father gave him, Luminous Darkness, and decided to do battle.
One after another soldiers fell at Dremadia's might. The battle seemed to last awhile, when the soldiers
realized they werent winning they brought out a large unknown beast they had been breeding, it was almost
5 times his size. Brought out in chains they unleashed it upon Dremadia. The creature attacked Dremadia's
soldiers and killed relentlessly. It used his huge sword to cut them asunder. One after another they died,
blood everywhere. Dremadia was angered by this and as the creature was finished killing the soldiers
attacking, he looked at Dremadia who was clearly angry. It grinned and swung at him with his massive
sword, Dremadia dodged the swing, and stabbed the beast. The beast let out a huge roar, then he tried to
slam his sword vertically on Dremadia to cut him in half.
*Dremadia dodged it, flipped onto his sword and ran up to the hilt, jumped and decapitated the creature*
The ogre fell with a loud noise. The Mertogos soldiers saw this and retreated. Everyone cheered as the
soldiers ran out of the kingdom.
There, I saw the leader, Ghastrum, retreating into a nearby cave.
Dremadia reached the mysterious cave underneath Vlitt Falls.
"AAAHH!!" I shouted in pain
"Well if it isnt King Dremadia, I knew you would follow me here!"
"Ghastrum, you attacked my kingdom you dog!" I said
"Stop your flattering!" he said while laughing
"I wasnt flattering you, you idiot!"
"I thought you would come to this place, you see this is the place with unlimited power"
"This is the place my father told me about!?" I said while looking around
"I didnt plan on you living this long, I thought for sure my pet could kill you."
"You should know im not that weak you sick freak!"
"Well obviously you are, you are wounded and cant do a thing" he said with a smirk
"Time to die, maybe you'll meet your father in Hell!"
At that moment I felt this heavy wind start to build up in the cave.
"Where is that wind coming from?" I thought
Ghastrum was thrown out of the cave by a huge gust and a huge stone door shut him out.
"What was that!?" I said puzzled
I crawled around the cave to look for a potential exit to get out of here, but found none. I then
remembered Ghastrum said that this was the cave of power. If true, I have been trying to find this place
for years, and its been this close!
"SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO ME!"
"Who's there!?" I yelled
"SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO ME!"
"What do you mean!?" I asked again
"IF YOU WANT UNLIMITED POWER, SURRENDER YOUR LIFE TO ME!"
"This is what my father told me about!"
"But how do i know this is the power of light!?" I asked the mysterious voice
"YOU CAN EITHER TRUST IN ME OR ROT IN THIS CAVE!"
"Well i will bleed to death if i stay here any longer," I said to myself
"Very well, I surrender my life to you!"
"YOU ARE GRANTED UNLIMITED POWER......THE POWER OF DARKNESS!"
"You said you were the power of light!"
"I NEVER SAID THAT, I SAID TRUST IN ME!" It said laughing
"YOU WILL BECOME DARKNESS...THE MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THIS UNIVERSE...NO ONE WILL BEAT YOU, YOU WILL BE
UNSTOPPABLE, YOU WILL BECOME 'JUDGEMENT EDEN'!!"
I felt as if i was losing myself to something, something evil. My mind was racing from thought to thought,
trying to filter out the mess. I couldnt...I couldnt regain myself.
Surely...this is the end of me, to be driven to madness and despair by some unknown force.
"Why, why father..did..I...have..to..search....for..power!?" I said being tormented
It felt as if my own soul was being ripped apart.
"What is going to happen to Issara!?"
After I asked that question, i came to the realization that i no longer care for Issara.
Chapter 1
Finally i awoke from my sleep, I stood around dazed and could barely walk. I came out of my own abyss, my
prison, to get more powerful. My name is Eden, Judgement of the Dusk and soon...the Void. Dremadia is now
apart of me, i can feel his feelings and attitude getting more dark by the moment. He was the catalyst i
needed to become the supreme being. Of course, before i do that there are..."obstacles" in my way. And the
obstacles are the seven "Judgements". I need to overthrow them, but how?
"Im going to the surface." I said to myself
"Not so fast Eden!"
"Now that sounds familiar." I said
"I heard you awoke from slumber, so i came here as quick as i could so i could stop you." the voice said
Just then a huge boulder sized fireball blasted the ground in front of me, the fire from the blast
materialized into a being, a being that i definitely recognized.
"Aaah, Deimas, i was just thinking of you. How sweet of you to visit me." I said sarcastically
Deimas is one of the Judgements, he is the King of Inferno.
"Eden, dont small talk me!" he yelled
"Why? I assume we have plenty of-"
"Silence! I know what you plan to do!"
"And what of it? What are you going to do Deimas? Kill a Judgement?" I questioned
"I am going to stop you!" he said
"You cant, you know its against the rules Deimas. You cant kill a Judgement unless absolutely necassary.
And right now is not."
"UGH...Very well Eden, but i WILL be watching you!"
"Then i will take my leave!" I said as i turned around with a slight smirk on my face
As i departed, Deimas erupted into a flame of fire and went away. He was always a "hothead" and sometimes
his judgments got the better of him. Of course he is right that he will have to stop me, try that is. I am
going to be the most powerful being. The other Judgements are all more powerful than me, except the Dawn
Judgement. We are equal in power. There is something myself, Dusk, and Dawn have in common that the other
ones dont. And that is growing in power. The other Judgements have a fixed amount of power that cannot
grow. But mine can. Of course that also means that the Dawn Judgement is my worst adversary and i must
kill him.
I conjured my dusk powers until i was drained to release the seal on my prison. Sometime soon when i get
more power, i will unleash hordes of evil forces upon the earth.
When i came out, i was in a wooded area. The portal behind me closed. There were alot of lush green plants
around as far as the eye can see. I am not your typical generic evil being who likes to see nothing but
death and destruction, I do enjoy beauty every once in a while.
"Aaah, fresh air. It smells much better than that cryptic cell." I continued "And the plants look really
well grown as well."
"Eden, thank you so much for the compliment."
This time it was the voice of a female. It must be her...
"Fajlah, is that you!?" I asked
As i said that, a loud rumble ensued. The birds flew out of the trees, the wolves, rabbits, and deer
started to come out. She then appeared in front of me.
"Hello Eden,"
As she was greeting me, she was feeding the animals. I must admit, she was rather beautiful herself. She
was the Mother of Nature, Judgement Fajlah.
"Hello Fajlah, it is nice to see you." I continued "You havent aged a bit since i saw you last around four
thousand years ago."
She laughed "Eden, you know Judgements dont age. But thanks anyway."
"I conversed with Deimas before i came out." I said
"Did he threaten you as always?" she asked
"Of course, its in his nature." I answered
"I know what you did, I also know you didnt kill him. For that i am glad."
She knows that i could have killed Dremadia before taking him, but i felt sorry for the poor king.
"Anyway Eden, i have to go now. Will i see you later?"
"Of course, i always love seeing you Fajlah." I said
"As do i you, Judgement Eden."
I suddenly felt bad to even think of killing anyone as sweet as Fajlah. I must avoid killing her for the
time being.
