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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkGeekUqW
But it didn’t matter.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6bKmzdP6O
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡur3C0ZlD2S
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC8orw9TaG
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL18Qdjslt
If anyone finds this journal, know that I wasn’t a monster. I would never destroy the world. I love it too much.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfc372tBYW
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF07FV7h4lg
“Here we go, no turning back.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiQOOLkW1T
He walks forward into darkness but doesn’t fear whatever evil that may lurk inside. He needs answers and this won’t stop him.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNclGlZWIKZ
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf87Cd1nYW8
He navigated the twisting maze of the wilderness as if it was his home. But even he will get surprised by something.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rqEWHgWbF
“The heck?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWblPhvz9Fc
A few steps ahead of him, awkwardly buried beneath the snow, is cans of preserved food.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR29w6RQ7b
“Yeah, I’m not falling for that.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwhKLmlEQv
“I don’t need you to.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsDQNCNZkC
Before Krita could react, a shadowy figure slithered out of the darkness and struck him on the head with something heavy.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5vU0GHVIr
“I can’t believe you’re not out yet.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOXkGdqqiV
“It takes more than that.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwRX637Rfz
“You’re right, I shouldn’t play with my food. Your corpse will do for tonight.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyqXTYylg4
The man pulls out a handgun but before he could fire, Krita lunged.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusT10PaMos
*BANG*
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4C8wMpCoC
Right on time, Krita diverted the shot but that’s only half the problem.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQoKfLLXkT
“Let go!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7knrrIgjND
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8ZPcphw04
*BANG*
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzADNigNkq
*BANG*
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3QMS63d8T
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRVy5472DX
*Bang*
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNa65twHyD
“Fuck!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡygoEpt76J3
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMGczOCGty
“Do you even know why you’re chasing me?!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhlEAsd3N
“You know why.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD56cSsbVA
“No, I don’t! Why listen to some random worldwide broadcast that no one even remembers the contents of.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfo5UJJz57v
“…”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXnJ4SSLH8
“The silent treatment? Really?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqe3Kv4Kdg
“Just kill me already, I have nothing else to say to you.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5JTAlVr11
“Don’t tempt me.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBbokeIit8
“I rather die than to even be around you. End it.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhRioetjXi
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Zg5Xm8O5
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeccFT7smjg
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSz2O8cf6A
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3CJE4mFK7
These voices grind and clash inside his soul. Only one could win and there was only a second to decide.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1JH0hCXdJ
“No.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uGeEyg1i3
“What?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOgOcTx0aR
“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…”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMhOswBJKi
Krita uses the butt of the gun to knock the man out cold.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB65OO2GieA
“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.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡclcXG3Rj2Q
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4v4cdytfoM
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFpo7qxn9s
But that hope is dashed when he hears the sound of horses.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SzMr0Y2GM
“Where did they get horses?!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFysWT48xsR
Krita abandons any notion of walking. He abandons his food bag and takes off running to where he knows the church is.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvnUrLblyv
“It’s do or die now.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa7vk4nANS
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieIYYR6JO4
Despite the building fear, Krita didn’t give into despair. His vision may be cloudy but his mind remembers the path.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJhwjfxKZS
He weaves through the chaos like a dancer until the light reenters his vision. He can see it.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMnP4j2SKr
“The church, there it is.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLig7YEKFfK
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6pTDbpDwX
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D6tHaswmb
“Bro, are you in there?!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEObbBEmim
“Kali?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50QHuUIfit
Krita goes towards the window and sees 4 men on different colored horses. They’re outside as if waiting for something.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNloQ4uDR8D
“Let’s just talk this out Krita. We’ve changed our minds. We know you’re not the bringer of the apocalypse.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwew2gtvR9j
“Liar!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIYdTjcwlp
“So he finally speaks. At least we know you’re in there.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1xF7k1TXv
“Darn it.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Mdulmr9mL
“Just make it easy on yourself. You can’t seriously think you’re worth more than the whole world.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SDUklumws
“Of course not, but I’m dying because of some strange broadcast. You’re all the crazy ones to believe it .”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXaxTer3jT
“Better safe than sorry.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhhbs90kOL
“I’m your brother!”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rUbdEyS92
“And?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwrgOPKsCn9
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY3sgEYy0E
But nothing is coming up. It’s just a ruined church. If anything is weird, it’s his brother and his lackeys.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHWehLntsx
“Why aren’t they coming in?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H3KVMliKI
He’s been searching the place for 10 minutes but they haven’t stormed the place.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkBqVpk1Xf
“Why?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWI5GioJyQ
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJaZGAJ7Ck
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.189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrE1vrsN5u
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgdKXWiS5z
He understood now. He knelt down and wept, now he understood his purpose as his shadow grew angelic wings.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqM5EqbMRo
“I understand now Father. My eyes are open.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0VkEhzIK7
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTi2SZEIgU1
“Finally, ready to surrender and save our world?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc6D2cbKji
“No, I’m here to confess.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug4P3zf5Tu
“Oh really? Go on then.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxhwOg0IpL
“You were right Kali.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJKA6Okc19
“About what? Go on, tell me how right I was.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsSNX4VlU1
“I am destined to end the world.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqpKLKSNQ
“Haha, I was-”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V9uEYibO5
“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.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgx5GYqdsu
Krita raises his hand to the sky and a flaming sword emerges from his being.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzqHLFK1cj
“What are you doing!?”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb0shG4yt5
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCn1oqNCV9J
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.
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eiZKhifDE
“I’m doing what was written. I’m embracing what I am and leading the way for our King.”
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt98NNy8fnD
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.
