A forgotten broadcast is all it takes to make me a wanted man. It sent a message to god knows how many people, a message declaring that I will end the world. If that’s not strange enough, no one remembers what exactly the broadcast said or showed.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgCun9g7iD
But it didn’t matter.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pnkHV2hpd
For whatever reason, everyone believed it. Something primal told us it was true, demanded you to accept this inevitability. So here I am, hunted by everyone including my twin brother. 2 weeks in the wilderness searching for salvation.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UGGXZwDOT
It’s out here, I know it. The one thing that I remember from the broadcast is the image of a ruined church. A once beautiful church I remember visiting in my childhood. I could never forget it or the area surrounding it. I know it better than the creators themselves.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmwfO1lNnM
Maybe there I can find some answers and learn why the world has gone mad. But, if I don’t make it back and the mob takes me, I want to leave this.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI24wEAazq5
If anyone finds this journal, know that I wasn’t a monster. I would never destroy the world. I love it too much.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjdXA2fhYK
Krita bagged his journal and brushed off the snowy leaves. He breathed into his hands for warmth while looking into the darkness of the forest. With only the winter clothes on his back and a small bag with scraps of food, he takes the first step toward his destiny.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2j56OqN5q
“Here we go, no turning back.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7U8H9VUiY
He walks forward into darkness but doesn’t fear whatever evil that may lurk inside. He needs answers and this won’t stop him.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4yhzPcYa
For 15 minutes straight, his bruised feet trudged through the snow and dirt. Ever determined and faithful that this wasn’t the end. Despite the depressing winter chill that cuts into his exposed skin and throat.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5GmPYLIwO
He navigated the twisting maze of the wilderness as if it was his home. But even he will get surprised by something.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMfN9OHdry
“The heck?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4y92LMaQx
A few steps ahead of him, awkwardly buried beneath the snow, is cans of preserved food.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFIp8V8Ofw
“Yeah, I’m not falling for that.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtb0rSwpGXt
“I don’t need you to.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMowJHRX7z
Before Krita could react, a shadowy figure slithered out of the darkness and struck him on the head with something heavy.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6F6dCQRpp
“I can’t believe you’re not out yet.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc6JLIIM8T
“It takes more than that.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9oC8TLQmrj
“You’re right, I shouldn’t play with my food. Your corpse will do for tonight.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGNYXSzuEs
The man pulls out a handgun but before he could fire, Krita lunged.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgR0ZOJPSED
*BANG*
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj0y7IqA6O
Right on time, Krita diverted the shot but that’s only half the problem.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTotVXwTEjj
“Let go!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihznYwSLmh
The two struggled with the gun. The sounds of rough kicks and grunts filled the frigid air. But that’s not the only thing that ripped through the atmosphere.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5UCqVns1h
*BANG*
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVl8tpjeCw
*BANG*
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1UM6Lrewd
Close calls followed by further struggle. Something had to change. There’s no way those gunshots didn’t draw more people. Thankfully, something did change when Krita decided to use his head.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7czd5osBgs
*Bang*
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM6I80VdEl
“Fuck!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0T0T9OVE8
After that brutal headbutt, Krita quickly ripped the gun out of the stranger’s grasp. With shaky hands, he points the muzzle at the downed man.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmWagCPCUE
“Do you even know why you’re chasing me?!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkCdnJJUoR
“You know why.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhBaN9frbg
“No, I don’t! Why listen to some random worldwide broadcast that no one even remembers the contents of.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEcQl67920
“…”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9cF3m7kpR
“The silent treatment? Really?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3AznkxCmi
“Just kill me already, I have nothing else to say to you.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf9KTVM6y0
“Don’t tempt me.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrnCPNFkfQ
“I rather die than to even be around you. End it.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUvRXE0rqr
Krita’s hands begin to shake further. The stress from all of this madness begins to finally bear down on him. The exhaustion, pain, and lost friends. The cold air sinks deeper into his skin but instead of freezing him, it only nurtures his building rage.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeEd2ewOrF
All the pain, betrayal, and sleepless nights. All because of people like this that just won’t leave him alone. It can all end if he pulls the trigger. One less person to deal with and an excellent way to relieve stress.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcjZuCovlY
Voices like these whisper sweet relief into his mind. Only if he would pull the trigger and send this soul off to hell. It teases his conscious, edging him closer to the edge of the cliff.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeWLP4qi1O
But there is another voice at the back of his mind. It says not to be like them. Don’t pull the trigger or bloody your hands.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9eUsuMzpw
These voices grind and clash inside his soul. Only one could win and there was only a second to decide.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp27cgfk0C
“No.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQJIyfgXRR
“What?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpz0t22NqNF
“I won’t shoot you. That will only give you all fuel for the fire of insanity. I’m not going to play that game. Besides…”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhdW0Sz79A
Krita uses the butt of the gun to knock the man out cold.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuoppuLZpn
“You’re judgment won’t be now. After all of this is over and resolved, all of you are going to jail for a long time.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDqI5zL3iV
Krita took a long look at the gun before deciding to chuck it into the snow. He refuses to use the enemies’ weapons. He will come out of this the same person, uncorrupted by this madness.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6dK1MvLLP
But to do that, he needed to find the church. He picks up the pace and wades further into the murky forest. Praying no one else will follow him.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KiVVbT9OA
But that hope is dashed when he hears the sound of horses.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9ITXG9Hu
“Where did they get horses?!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMyDHJzrqQ
Krita abandons any notion of walking. He abandons his food bag and takes off running to where he knows the church is.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNp623rXtn
“It’s do or die now.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt2sPZuVJS
The next 10 minutes threaten to stop Krita’s heart. He wouldn’t dare turn around, lest the horsemen get him. Unlike the last guy, he’s sure these new hunters won’t play games.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3KLm3bDjL
Despite the building fear, Krita didn’t give into despair. His vision may be cloudy but his mind remembers the path.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXi138JEb2
He weaves through the chaos like a dancer until the light reenters his vision. He can see it.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9QpR4rpTt
“The church, there it is.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzW5Uiv5U2
A once beautiful testament to the lord, now ruined and broken. But there is still hope within. Krita forces his body into the forest clearing and then inside the building. It wasn’t a good landing though, he practically ripped the doors off trying to get in.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8BtUhz68I
But now he’s here. The windows are cracked, the chairs empty but light still beams down on the cross. He starts to take a step towards it before a voice calls for him.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpa3nkUW49F
“Bro, are you in there?!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsGB55JYkL
“Kali?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG2znUcAux
Krita goes towards the window and sees 4 men on different colored horses. They’re outside as if waiting for something.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TfYoaONKu
“Let’s just talk this out Krita. We’ve changed our minds. We know you’re not the bringer of the apocalypse.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFGcBbUlFE
“Liar!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulpytG9GYi
“So he finally speaks. At least we know you’re in there.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIMU3bhbzj
“Darn it.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeblGR7BabX
“Just make it easy on yourself. You can’t seriously think you’re worth more than the whole world.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pkq4Pu4m0
“Of course not, but I’m dying because of some strange broadcast. You’re all the crazy ones to believe it .”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8FTIOlKDn
“Better safe than sorry.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc5ItWy4a6
“I’m your brother!”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvg1doKgp8r
“And?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHHU784y6w
Krita storms off and starts searching for something, anything to solve this mystery. The floors, under the chairs, the holes, and even the ceiling. All the while trying to ignore the drivel coming from his opposite twin.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPYOPPLOVB
But nothing is coming up. It’s just a ruined church. If anything is weird, it’s his brother and his lackeys.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvywgwqGBH
“Why aren’t they coming in?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdjnsYYxhV
He’s been searching the place for 10 minutes but they haven’t stormed the place.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cVAswoAsf
“Why?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGVLqSeO15
The answer was revealed when something warm graced his back. He turned around and gazed up at the shining cross. He didn’t know what it meant but he knew he had to go further up.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZZHehsFrV
So he climbed the steps toward the centerpiece of the church. When he was before the cross, golden lightning struck his mind. Images and memories flood his mind, his eyes flash golden as it all came together.190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywmzaLTwz7
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhjhYsKjRR
He understood now. He knelt down and wept, now he understood his purpose as his shadow grew angelic wings.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWe2oeWPq5k
“I understand now Father. My eyes are open.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk305EZdGXx
Krita exits the church and is greeted by a new sight. He sees his brother but there’s…something beneath his face. Something evil. With his resolve strengthened, Krita step forward to confront his destiny.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9loxrqKbg
“Finally, ready to surrender and save our world?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yUN1CaHNK
“No, I’m here to confess.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTitMLscQx
“Oh really? Go on then.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfrSW6cZK7
“You were right Kali.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAhk7UgnQH
“About what? Go on, tell me how right I was.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyFoXXKbCx
“I am destined to end the world.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJcTlyOWuE
“Haha, I was-”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPJpLN4df5
“But not in the way you hope, I’m not like you brother. I’ll help cleanse the evil off the kingdom and build it into something beautiful. What it was supposed to be.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMpLAQnLUq
Krita raises his hand to the sky and a flaming sword emerges from his being.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJY8JpsnWZT
“What are you doing!?”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCtLezl0OP
The other 3 horsemen try to stop Kirta but it was too late. He uses the sword to slash apart the clouds. Instantly, the sky opens up and holy light descends upon everyone, pushing the darkness back. The snow melts and the trees around are rejuvenated. But more importantly, slowly but surely, the church is rebuilding itself under the healing light.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5kKPpie03
In front of such light, the horses buckle in fear and the brother falls to the ground. He gazes up at the sky to see legions of beings beyond mortal comprehension descending down. Their purpose? To follow their king into the final war.
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFGpf2t1kiE
“I’m doing what was written. I’m embracing what I am and leading the way for our King.”
190Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6QZJ3jfw7
Krita stares into his foes with eyes of fire. He’s found his purpose. To help cleanse a world filled with evil. To end the world of the wicked. At last, their day has finally ended. A new one begins now.
