Joseph awoke on a beach much like Alenia had woken up to.
His hair was a mess and it looked as if he was lying there for several days. This planet was closer to the sun then the other, in result of that the sun was unbearably hot.
He awoke with a raging headache, blinking his eyes around the desert like planet. He looked around at the small oasis that he had landed in, pulling himself into the small pool of water he drank to his heart's content until he was well refreshed. Splashing the water upon his face he looked around. "Where in the blazes am I?" He said looking up into the sky. The blazing heat hid the large blue planet of Idor, He couldn't see it under the rays, and the sunshine. Getting up he looked around, for miles it seemed it was just desert. Scratching his head he looked down to see that the pool was drying up quickly. "Odd..Where did it spit me out of.. and why here.." He said softly to himself trying to pick a direction to go in. "Is it the same as Earth, North, east.. West? Or south.." He said confused trying to find his bearings. Settling with going forward he stumbled onward into the smoldering heat ahead with no clue of his destiny.
Joseph had walked 100 miles by now but the sand dunes were endless. He couldn't seem to find the horizon, or which way he should go.
"Typical of Idor to spit me out in the wrong place.. I need, I need to find my daughter." He gasped.
That one notion seemed to be the one and only thing that pushed him ahead.
"Alenia..I need to find her," He gasped as he stumbled over a dune rolling down the colossal sand mountain.
He was to weak to stop himself from rolling he allowed his body to be taken away by the elements. The heat was beating down on his body far to much, without any water he would surely parish. As luck would have it, a falcon like creature was soaring ahead as it spotted Joseph. It loudly screeched flying down to investigate. This was no ordinary creature. It had 3 wings on each side of his small body, tightly pressed feathers, eyes that seemed to mirror your reflection, Its talons were 4 inches long meant for stabbing prey. Joseph looked up as the bird landed near him, "Oh, How lovely a bird.." He said as his eyes rolled back into his head as he passed out. The bird cocked its head in confusion as its form began to change into a young woman. "I've never seen you here before, What are you doing on Secrion.. ?" She asked softly changing her form into a large mammal. it had an angulated snout, thin hair covering its back to let out all the heat from its body, Thick hair covered the rest of the beast. It had long legs with seven toes on each hoof. Its hoofs were sharp and also angulated to help it dig into the slipping sand.
Picking him up she him softly on her back. "Lets get you to the Silver-City my dear friend, My father may be able to help you" She said with courage. Joseph was passed out for many hours on the young woman's back, she had been traveling for several hours. When she had finally reached the gates of the Silver-City. Guards came rushing at the animal, "Who goes there! Show yourself." They shouted poking their spears at the creature.
Kneeling down she took Joseph off of her back as she transformed they immediately bowed, "Princess..We were not aware, Forgive us." They shouted. She only nodded with a slight grunt, and a command "Open the gate," Sternly they followed her orders as the gates opened she started to drag Joseph into the city. She heaved, pushed and pulled with great effort. Many of the inhabitants starred with curiosity at the queen to be dragging a man through the city. She managed to drag him with considerable amounts of effort. Into the castle where her father resided. Out of breath she called for her guards to take him to one of the guest rooms and lock the door behind them so he didn't foolishly escape. The next morning Joseph awoke on the bed looking around at the strange cobblestone room. "Where am I..Was I dreaming..?, Am In King George's castle..?" he asked himself getting up off the bed. He went to try the door but to his surprise he found that it was locked. He began banging at the door yelling to let him out. "HEY anyone out there, Let me out!" A soft knock came to the door, "Uh.. Come in?" he responded.
The young woman walked in and bowed toward him, "Greetings, I am glad that you are awake. We have many questions." She said with a smile. Joseph looked at her with an odd expression. "We..First of all, Who's we, who are you?, where am I?, and what is this place?" He asked her rapidly. She raised her eyebrow and laughed a little. "I am Princess Castalia, My father and I wish to know who you are, You are on the wonderful planet Secrion in the kingdom of the Silver-City." She replied pointing to everything around her.
"Secrion.. The sister planet to Idor?" He blurted out-loud. She gave a wild expression, "Idor..? The massive blue planet in our night skies? You are from there?" She asked. He swayed his head, "More or less.. You could say that I am. Do you know how to get there?" he asked her. She smiled at him, "Why would we ever have a need? She asked him. "Well I don't quite know but I know enough that I need to get there," But the young woman was reluctant to answer. "What need do you have to go there, stay awhile..Stay with me.." She said almost seductively. Joseph was enthralled as he blushed shaking his head he pushed her away from him. He coughed nervously, "Uh..Princess Castalia, I appreciate your kind offer here that you seem to be proposing, But you see I have a family in Idor..I desperately need to get to. I have a wife and a child, And I must get to them.." He pleaded. Suddenly an expression of anger came over her face, "You are not to leave here until we say it is so, You belong to me for I found you and rescued you..You have no need to return to your former life." She sternly said as she rushed out the door slamming it behind her as she locked it. Joseph banged on the door, "Let me out Castalia! Please!" He begged but she did not respond.
Panting behind the door she smiled maliciously, "You will be mine..I will help you forget your wife and child, I need a man of my own, and none are as beautiful or foreign as you are.." She softly whispered to herself grinning as she held the golden key to the room in her palms. Turning towards the door, "Fear not my strange companion.. You will be free.." She said with a malicious tone. She walked silently towards her dad's throne room as always he sat upon the jeweled encrusted throne with a contemplated look on his face. She went and bowed before him, "Father, I have found a potential husband for me.." She strongly stated. At the mention of this his eyes stirred up to come in contact with her. "Where..Did he say he was from," He asked her. She was silent for a moment, "Idor.." She softly replied.
He jumped up and held her by the throat in an instant, "IDOR!.. Do you not understand we are enemies of Idor!, Secrion does not wish to bother with his sister nor does he care to have any contact with her problems and mistakes!.." He yelled as he squished her windpipe. "f-f-faather.. even..Ev..Id..idor must follow the r-rules of this planet..S-sh..she can't take him aw...away from me.." She gagged.
In mercy he released her from his grasp. She fell to the ground coughing, gasping for breath as she stood proudly. "Idor can't take away what belongs to Secrion and Secrion's chosen rulers..And I claim him as my own.." She boldly stated.
Without warning a dark figure entered the room. It was wearing a dark cloak and hood that covered its face. "Is that so.. Princess Castalia? You claim this one as your own? Do you not respect the laws I have placed down for Secrion, for my own people?.. For the people that I watch and rule over with mercy?" The figure asked.
Castalia bowed her head in respect, "Oh Secrion.. forgive me, But I wish to have him as my husband, There is no man on Secrion that I desire. There is many who desire me but none I can say that I desire. This man I wish to have as my own. The laws are clearly stated that if a royal claims belonging over an object that it is to be theirs forever..None may take it from them." She stated while bowing.
He nodded his head as he took off his cloak to reveal a set of burning flaming eyes. The king and princess both looked away for none was ever allowed to look upon his face. "You forget one tiny little detail.. IDOR IS MORE POWERFUL THEN I..It was I that was supposed to rule the planet she has, not ruling this wasted desert.. But the universe sought to see it otherwise..She can do anything she desires, and there must of been a reason for one of her people to be spit up here, She is the one who controls the sea portals. Even I am under her command!.. You can not claim him. You can not bear his child..You can not wed him. For he does not belong to you and I condone this to be an act of betrayal if you do. Disobey me and I will take your life.." He said with contempt and fury.
Castalia was frightened of Secrion as everyone well should be. Castalia quietly slipped into her captive's room to find him fast asleep. Deviously she smiled as she strapped him down on the bed. "I am sure Secrion wouldn't mind if I had a little fun..He never said I couldn't have a little fun.." She said with a rebellious attitude as she took out his genital, inserting it into her. The movement and the feeling awoke Joseph with a fright. "CASTIALIA.." He moaned, "Get off of me you wench, You whore!" He screamed.
Joseph felt fully violated after she had finished with him. She grabbed him by the face, "I am not allowed to wed you, Or bear your child these are the laws I must follow, But you are still to be mine..However I may use you, If I can not have you no one else may.." She sternly said as she released him from his bindings not expecting for what was to happen next. He knocked her to the floor with great strength from his fist leaving a bloody mark across her face.
In panic he ran out of the room into the the strange common room hallway. In fright he made a sharp left as he darted through the dimly lighted hallways. "What kind of place is this..Idor.. Why have you disgraced me," He thought out-loud. Without looking he bumped into the king who was for once off his throne after the incident. "You, who are you!" He shouted loudly. "I..I .. I am Joseph, I need to find my way out of here, I was just violated by a maiden. Sir do you know a way out?" He asked frightened.
The king scowled at the man sighing heavily, "My good young man, my daughter has seemed to taken a fancy to you. Why I am not sure, For that I am deeply sorry. Secrion has commanded her not to wed or bare your child because you are from Idor. Secrion and Idor have been in a feud for centuries..," He said patting his shoulder as he motioned to walk with him. "My daughter is to be wed in 4 sunrises or we royals will lose our power and a new line will be chosen, She has to find a husband by the 4th sunrise.. it has been 2 now. If she does not wed..We will be cast out. For her to wed you would give Idor power over this planet and Secrion to be cast out..Under the mercy of the universe to decide where he rules next.." He explained. Joseph was confused, "But I can not wed her, I am already wed to another and I have a child who needs my help." He explained.
He nodded and pulled Joseph's ear close to his lips, "It doesn't have to be official, just enough to cast Secrion out," He said. As the king pulled back he winked, "Just think about it son," He said as he walked down the long-hallway. Only a few moments later guards rushed past the King and took Joseph to the ground. "You are under arrest for your abuse towards our princess!" The king came rushing back towards them. "Halt King Diomis!, He has hurt our princess, He is to be banished by law out of the silver city," the guards cried. Diomis struck one of the guards, "And I am the king!, No such law can permit or hold me down. Joseph take the princess and run! Run from the silver city, Go to Kowuun!!" he yelled as he held the guards down. Joseph nodded not quite sure what was going on. If he was supposed to marry this woman and why. What was so bad of Secrion that Idor needed more power and control?
Joseph ran down the hall as quickly as he could. A dark shadow followed him closely, it's burning flaming eyes targeted on him. The shadow rushed through the halls it was rapidly gaining on Joseph as he ran through the maze of hallways. Reaching the princess he slammed the door shut and abruptly awoke her. When she gained conscience she didn't look at him for she felt ashamed knowing full well she deserved the punch to her face. "I am sorry sir Joseph.." She began to say. He only shook his head, "No time to make sense of it, We have run out of time. I don't understand this world..Somehow I am the prophesized helper for this world, Your father was taken down by the guards and he told me to flee the silver city with you to a place called, Kowuun.., Do you know where this is?" he asked as he ripped the bed sheets apart for their faces.
Before Castialia could speak the dark creature burst through the door roaring in all its madness Castialia didn't blink, she lifted up her hands shouting " Tutus Sumus," She repeated, The creature roared at her, "TUTUS SUMUS..You have no bearing great creature, The ancients declared this. Be gone!" She shouted. It roared rebellious as it exited the room allowing Joseph and Castialia to pass out of the room they were in.
Joseph was shaken by all the madness and confusion. He couldn't help but wonder if that is how his daughter must of felt being thrown into Idor as she had. "I will be coming home soon," He softly thought to himself. Castialia held his hand tightly, "Kowuun is an safety refuge that even Secrion cannot enter, It was built for us by our ancients, They were nymphs. Fearing that one day Secrion's power would go to his head they built a refuge for their people..It is the only oasis left. But once one enters one is not allowed to leave..that is the only thing..So we would be leaving everything behind here, and Secrion would not be able to harm us.." She said to him.
Joseph scowled, "Well.. I suppose we should stand and fight for what is ours then.. " he said with confidence. "that is not possible until you marry me, Secrion gives threats and in defiance I rebel. Which is .. why I took advantage of you. For that I deeply apologize, Secrion sometimes gets the better of me and the darkness I try to contain as a nymph once darkness is implanted our hearts have great difficulty not to succumb to the power it generates," She mentioned.
He sighed looking at her, "I am already married..Is it against the law of the universe to marry twice.." he said softly looking into Castalia's emerald green eyes. She closed her eyes, "Idor would not have sent you here if it was against the laws of the Universe.." she simply said, "You must marry me, and Idor will do the rest; Secrion is overdue for judgement.." She explained. "I know these thing can never be rushed, But I must announce my marriage to my people, You shouldn't be left alone. Some here still follow loyal to Secrion..They follow blindly..." She said grabbing his hand tightly.
"Im very scared..." She muttered softly, he sighed looking at her she reminded him much of his daughter. "You are very brave my young one, If marriage is what I have to go through then this is what I must do.." he said getting down on one knee. She stared at him oddly, "What is it that you are doing Joseph..?" He looked down from her gaze softly smiling thinking that Idor must of had something grand planned for this.
"Will you marry me Princess Castialia?" He asked her, As he stayed on one knee. She rose her eyebrow to him feeling a little confused by this custom that she got down on one knee herself and answered, "Yes?" , Unable to help himself a smile grew over Joseph's face, "I am glad.." he said. The creature burst through the doors it howled loudly pointing its finger towards Castialia screeching. "Secrion has arrived..What's left of him.." she scowled. "Your power is gone Secrion!, You are no more. I have chosen to marry Joseph and he has chosen me, Your power has been stripped!" She yelled at it with courage, strength. The creature screamed as it charged towards Castialia. Before it could stick its long claws into her chest the roof of the palace was ripped off. The sky shredded open as a hand made of light came down dragging what was left of Secrion. His form twisted and spiraled into the sky. With a sonic boom, and flash of light Secrion was gone.
Castialia squealed happily hugging Joseph tightly, they jumped for joy until their eyes met. Staring for a moment they backed away from each-other, "Well then," She bowed to him, He bowed before to her. She smiled maliciously back up at him as her eyes glared deviously. "GUARDS..." She shouted, "Now that Secrion's shadow has been removed from this world, I would be more than happy to take up position to being ruler of this planet!" She said laughing loudly.
Joseph looked at her with a horrid expression, "What do you mean Castialia?" He asked her. She only smiled as her eyes glimmered. "Don't you know that nymphs are notorious for playing with a man's desires?, That we truly can't ignore the darkness? We are tempted by it. One drink and we forever taste the darkness, I have tasted it. And.. I have to say. I LOVE IT.." She expressed wildly. "Guards, Take him to Kowuun,.. I want him placed in maximum security . After all.. he is my husband, But not for long!" She cackled. Joseph fought off the guards but they overpowered him greatly. "Castialia wait, What about my daughter!, What about my wife!" He screamed as he fought the guards while he was dragged out.
A figure came from around the corner with a large clap, "I know Idor sees all, But I don't think she expected the plan we had for each other. What a naughty little nymph. Its against the rules to separate an Immortal's shadow from their existing body.." Secrion laughed, "I didn't think you had it in you," She turned around to him, "I only did this because you gave me no choice!, If I had it my way Idor would have you right now!.. Father..." She said looking down.
His appearance changed to what everyone knew him as. "I am King Diomus to you,..You pathetic mortal..You do my bidding and you always will...That shadow and idea served me well. Now go to your cage, I will have the servants make you some food." He said as he tossed her across the room. She landed in a bunch of broken bookshelves. The heavy books fell on her, "Ow!, You jerk. You heartless jerk!" she said as as she ran out of the room the tears flowing from her eyes.
Diomus sat back on his throne thinking through the situations. The guards returned to find the King sitting on the throne, "Your majesty, The prisoner has been placed in a cage ready for transport to Kowuun, Shall we make our journey now?" The male guard asked still bowing. In his booming, and commanding voice he said "YES.", they nodded and quickly headed out of the palace room.
They made their way silently towards the cage, "Hey let me out of here, You are making a grave mistake. I belong to IDOR!, She will hurt you all!" He said angrily. One of the guards swatted the cage, "Idiot, We know.. Now shut up, you will draw attention to us." He softly said to Joseph. Joseph didn't understand that here too was a war happening. Joseph shook his head squeezing the ridge of his nose biting his tongue as he was carried out of the city. Castialia wept by herself with her servants by her side to comfort her.
Castialia wept into the night until dawn, Secrion came to the doorway glaring at her tiredly in the shape of her father. Her eyes were swollen from the tears as she looked up at him. "You are not going to kill me are you..?" She asked him. He shook his finger smiling as he approached her. "Kill? What's your definition of death my young one..?" he asked her. "You thought Joseph was truly going to save you? That he would bring to death what I have worked centuries for? Idor has her own problems with the darkness, her reigns have been lost. I have loyal followers on her planet..Joseph happens to be the father of the wretched savior of Idor's precious planet.. and you my dear.. I have a plan for you in all of this." He said looking at her cruelly. She looked onward towards him sadly, 'Yes my lord.." She asked, "What shall you have me do." She continued not look at him. Secrion held up a drawing of Alenia, "I want you to torment Joseph, Drive him off track until my plans are complete on Idor.." He command her.
She hesitated looking at him. "I won't.." She said refusing his offer. He pinched his ears in frustration. "You do it, I will give you your freedom my dear one," he told her. She only spat in his face. His hands wrapped around her throat as he began to choke her. She desperately grabbed the bed sheets to try to pull away. To her surprise a horde of servants had heard her gasping for breath while they passed her room. They rushed in and began beating upon Secrion's back to distract him. As they began to beat him he let go of Castialia he turned around and began to absorb the souls of the servants. Castialia hit him with an ancient nymph spell, It sounded as if she was controlling him with her spoken tongue.
Secrion screamed at her as he covered his ears, "You use the forbidden tongue against me!, The ancestors spoken language!" He screamed as he ran out of the room. The servants souls were weak as they returned to their bodies, they rose back gasping for breath. "Castialia you must go to Kowuun, don't worry about us.. You must remain safe..Go be with Joseph, He can protect you there." They pleaded. She gritted her teeth as she nodded running out of the room. She went through the bright hallways gleaming with diamonds, rubies, and gold.
Making her way out of the Silver-City she took one last look before she shape-shifted into the falcon. Flying swiftly towards Kowuun, she saw below her a carriage that housed Joseph in it. Screeching loudly she dove down with her wings tightly closed to her chest as she dove. Her four inch claws stuck out as she raged through the sky. They implanted into the flesh of the one driving the cell-block. He screamed in pain as the bird attacked him ferociously. The man screamed in pain as the talons dug deep into the carrier's shoulder blade.
Joseph awoke to the startling noise of the screaming man. He peered out of the cells bars seeing a flurry of feathers he somehow knew what it was. "CASTIALIA, Enough!, I am in order!" He yelled out the side. Castialia looked over in her fury and rage peeling her talons out slowly from the man's shoulder blades. She walked over to Joseph as she changed her form, "I have lied to you Joseph..Secrion is not gone, In fact that was only his shadow. For him to truly be gone a sacrifice must take place at Kowuun.." She softly said.
He scowled looking at her lovingly, he couldn't help himself. From the moment he met her in all his confusion and rage he had fallen in love with her. His heart had betrayed his wife Ivalon and he couldn't bare to admit it with his words. He stroked her cheek softly as he placed his lips to hers quickly but she didn't let go. He was torn in his heart from that moment that they kissed. She let go of his lips, "The one they have to sacrifice is me.. Joseph.." She mentioned softly on his ears. He jerked up to look into her eyes, "Why, why you..As pure as you are-" he was interrupted by her gentle shushing. "That is precisely why they must.. For My heart is pure and I am giving my life to save this planet..You, must be the one that plunges the knife into my heart." She said looking at him in sorrow.
He shook his head refusing the offer, "I can't do this to you my sweet Castialia.. In the short time we have been together, I have grown to love you..My heart is torn, You are perfect in every way..I can't lose you.." He said tearing up. She shushed him with another kiss, "Yes you can, You have much bigger things, I must redeem this world to the Nymphs, And Kowunn must take over Secrion. She has been bound for many centuries..Idor will free her sister.." She softly spoke, "I know my duty..., now you know yours.." She said turning away, Looking at the carrier, "I am sorry for attacking you. In my fury and rage I didn't see your face, let me take a look at those wounds," She commanded. The carrier looked at her with a face of anger as he turned around, Two small holes about 3 inches in diameter were pierced in his shoulder blades. Wiping the extra blood she patted his back, "You will be okay," She said as she hopped up onto the carriage. He sneered at her mocking her as she turned her back. The carrier hopped onto the carriage holding the reigns of the creatures driving the wooden crate that the carriage carried. They took off at full force bounding across the desert plain, The silver city was only a spec in the distant of the immense heat.
They began to arrive at Kowuun, a large force field stretched from the left to the right, it seemed to circle the entire other half of the planet. Castialia hopped off as she let Joseph out of his cage. A creature came howling down the dusty dunes. "GO, Castialia, GO Joseph!" the carriers shouted pushing them behind the force field. They fell in with a jolt moving back into the grassy plain. The creature shouted at the force field in rage it pounded at the shield. It turned around looking at the carriers it sucked their souls out. Castialia ran to the shield screaming at the creature. "You Bastard, You evil evil creature!, You will be punished for your deeds! For all the lives you have taken. The reins will be put back upon you! Once I die you will be put to death! Secrion! You will die!" She screamed in rage.
Joseph had to pull her back and comfort her as she cried. Secrion screeched at the gate, "For your defiance, I will take the souls of everyone in your city.. Kowuun will have no one left to rule..For your defiance all the children will remain without mothers or fathers, they will see them die first, then I will suck the souls out of all the children until I have claimed their souls to my own!" He shouted at the force field. Castialia screamed at him as tears flowed down her eyes. "You bastard" She kept repeating while Joseph stroked her hair softly. Getting up she began to walk down the grassy plains, "This is what this planet looked like at one point, No one has been in here in centuries..Its so quiet.." She said as she wiped her own tears.
Joseph looked down at the grass, he watched a shadow appear before him, He was puzzled by this for when he looked up the creature didn't seem to appear by the physical eye. He poked Castialia, She peered down gasping. "Its Kowuun, She is only a mere shadow until I am able to free her..." She said with sorrow. Joseph was also filled with sorrow, as he was led by the shadow for miles the shadow walked while Castialia talked with him of how the world used to be.
"Before Secrion came from the universe, So he says..Kowuun ruled this planet with much mercy and compassion. The flowers bloomed endlessly, the heat was never unbearable, the water was always filled with sweet fragrance, and was always full. The food was plentiful and its people healthy, peaceful and strong, When Secrion came upon this world, Kowuun and Secrion had a mighty battle that split many kingdoms apart. In a last attempt Kowuun split the earth in two reducing her power. The force field was placed as Secrion drank up half of the planets power..It was said a savior would be born in a royal line, So Secrion kept track of the 3 remaining bloodlines that existed. When I was born, I was the only one in many centuries to have emerald green eyes..This is the day that Secrion dreads, which is why he seeks to punish me by killing all of my innocent people even the ones that faithfully follow him." She explained as they continued to walk over the thick comforting grass. The shadow led them to a white temple that stretched high into the clouds. Castialia sighed turning to Joseph, "You don't have to understand everything to do your part in this world. Kowuun will work with Idor's war..This is why I must give myself freely of my own will and why you must plunge the blade into my heart." She said stroking his cheek softly. She led him into the temple holding his hand, In the center of the room was a white tablet like table.
She stepped up onto it laying down on the hard marble table. "I am ready Joseph, the Ancient blade will come to you when you call it," she said. Joseph looked confused at her, "How do I call it?" He asked her. She looked over sighing at him, "Just call it by its name,.." She said looking back at the ceiling. He was puzzled and confused by her mysteriousness, "By its name, I don't even know what its name is." he said sighing with a large breath.
Suddenly the shadow of Kowuun entered the room she hovered in front of Joseph. "Gladium de lumine" He suddenly muttered to himself, "Gladium de lumine... Gladium de lumine...Gladium de lumine..." He repeated to himself quietly. From the top of the temple out of the cloud came a gleaming sword his heart raced as the words continued to come out of his mouth. "How?" he thought to himself. Kowuun stood still behind him as his heart was saddened. He grasped the blade in his hand, His eyes met Castalia as he began to cry. She placed the blade over her heart, "My dear Joseph, I feel no fear.. I am at peace, I can not even feel the blade against my chest," She lied trying to keep herself from shaking.
"Pierce the blade my dear one," She commanded. Tears rolled down his cheek as he drove the blade down into her heart. He screamed loudly as he drove the blade into the princess' chest. She screamed loudly as the blade connected with her heart. "NO, No, She's in pain!" He yelled as he dove for the sword. Kowuun drove him out of the temple with a gust of air, The doors slammed shut. He banged on them loudly shouting at Kowuun to let him in. Many hours passed by it seemed, Joseph couldn't tell time from in here. Joseph's eyes hung low upon his face as sleep came upon him. Laying in the cool air amongst the feathery grass beneath him.
Abruptly the doors to the temple flew open, Castialia stood there in all her radiance. Joseph awoke with a fright to see Castialia standing there. "Cast!" He shouted running towards her. She scowled at him, "Castalia is no more my dear Joseph, She gave her life so my shadow could inhabit this body, Secrion killed my body centuries ago..As for you.. Your deeds are done.." Kowuun said softly as she waved her hands a cocoon began to envelop Joseph. "Kowuun, Wait.. Wait.. Kowuun, Please let me hug Castialia one more time..Kowuun!" He yelled as the cocoon wrapped him tightly he shot out of the force field making it shatter. He looked below him to see the dust of the earth retreating to the growing grass. "NO!.. Kowuun!.. Let me.." He said before a deep sleep overtook him. He raced towards Idor in a flaming comet protective layer. He soared through the skies over the Orc camp, many looked up to the sky staring curiously. He crashed landed 200 miles away from Nytl'Quia. The cocoon broke open spitting him out in a thick blue goo. He lay in it asleep deeply the goo covered him and his hair as he lay there asleep. He didn't stir for many hours. When he finally awoke it was pitchfall. He rubbed the now crusted blue goo off of his face and hair as he tried to regain his bearings. "Where..?" He questioned as he stumbled into the woods.
