The scorching hot heat rolling through the mountain side, made it nearly unbearable for Iramo to progress. He could barely stand after all the fight non stop fighting without a moment to breathe. Leaving him in such tattered state that he had to hold himself up with the winds, wrapped around his wounds just to be able to stand. But even then its not enough too ease the aching pain of every step toward the peak while battered beyond belief. Stringing along his legs with his hands as he closes in on the inverted light, shining through the murky skies. Guiding him through the howling heat straight to its a source cradled right at the edge of the highest peak. Where an orb hidden in a shell of light, in the shape of a hand reached out to him from just over the edge. Calling for him to come closer with every step he'd take until he reached the end. … "Do you really want to know the truth that was hidden away?" I have no idea what this is nor who it may be. But… The words of that voice from within the fog weren't enough for him to decide if his next steps should be forward or back? Even without its temptation he had no way down and with the fresh wounds from the Devions he couldn’t wait to reach the next town. That’s why without hesitation the moment he thought to turn back he ran straight to the edge and reached out for it. Barely grabbing onto the precarious hand's fingers with a defiant grin glued onto his face. “There's nothing here for me, so there’s no reason to go back! I’d rather die trying then crying when I look back, especially after coming all this way!” By the time those words left my mouth I was already engulfed in it. I was completely swallowed whole before I could tell and for a moment… I felt what it was to die. At least for me in a sense. … I saw nothing for a moment but brilliant blue light until it’s flare dimmed and visions filled my head, showing me seven figures cloaked in light gathered in one place. Each beaming with passion and a light of their own that burns bright as they look my way and each raise their hands as my vision changed. Bringing me to a place that felt familiar in a strange way, that I swear I’ve never seen. A battle field littered with blood the same color as mines but also mixed with green, drowning in flame as countless flowers appeared scorching up ground. Gracefully burning the bodies scattered around to ash as the white flowers began to turn blue. And in the a mist of the beautiful spectacle unfolding before my eyes, a woman in a mask took my hands and cut me free. Covering me in blue flames that spiraled around me and took me into the sky… drawing my eyes to a swollen star ready to burst as I lost sight and ended up walking down a hall. It didn’t seem to special but this one was unlike others, it wasn’t warm nor kind. Each wall had a blurry message but the only words I could make out we’re “Beyond the wall.” And just beyond them I saw a man locked up in depths deep that light’s not willing to go, sealed deep within a crimson cage. Who simply looked at me and smiled as if he was expecting me to arrive. “It’s to early to be here now but don’t worry I will see you again soon enough. Your nature and that body will be more than enough to make our wildest dreams come true! Go get s taste of their order! See how much fun you have before you do it my way. Once you see that fatal flaw you’ll be back one day… "#####.” It was something he said at the end that creeped me out but it was weird. I know he said something but I couldn't hear a thing. It wasn’t until I took one step closer that he reached out and touched the back of my hand, engulfing me in a pink light that crumpled up my body, that I could finally understand. “Your not meant to be here until the reveal so let me lend you a hand!” I never got a good look at him but he left behind flickering symbols and whispers all throughout my head. Each one mumbling things I couldn’t make sense of as they slowly fade away. Leaving me with one last me
