The Zypher: The Four Seasons Finale (1/5)

"I don't know what I witnessed but instincts was telling me that what I saw was the truth and what I learned, everything that I have been told and what I have witnessed were nothing but illusions and lies... I didn't want to believe it and neither did I want to deny it, if anything... it was giving me an option... in what my mission truly was... its funny really... few months before, I wanted nothing to do with the past... I wanted to forget it... I wanted to carry on my job as a blacksmith... it was simple for me and I didn't have to kill anyone... but now, I'm stuck on a wild goose chase, all I wanted to do was to help restore the Order... but even I was not prepared for what was next."

As they departed from the ship, Cal ensured that the purgists were dealt with but not killed. Cal followed the others to the entrance but they turned hostile when the door started to break from the inside, as the door broke open, two different glows charged towards Erin and Erika and they fell to the ground. When they stood up, they too had the glowing symbols embedded onto them like Macro and Azriel, "Erin? Erika? You guys okay?" They looked up to Macro and acted wild but turned causious, "are you kidding me?! No I know how you guys felt! This is amazing but at the same time... its scary!" Cal loomed at the disks that were lying on the entrance ground.

He picked then up and couldn't help but to feel like these markings looked not like markings but like drawing and not any drawings, they were drawn by a child. Cal's mind started to feel weak holding all four of the discs, he found himself in someone's bedroom but it looked like his but it wasn't... he found himself in front of a church, he heard a girl scream and ran inside to see that she was being imprisoned and was about to be sacrificed, Cal ran to save her but he instead was stabbed accidentally by a cultist, he lied on the floor as his blood entered the circle. The girl was set free and she watched as the church began to crumble with both Cal and the cultists trapped inside, the girl watched as two beams left to the sky.

"You've yet to learn young Child." Shuwwo showed himself to Cal, "Shuwwo? What are you doing here?" Shuwwo replied, "I live here! Ever since I died... this has been my limbo... how are you old friend?" Cal stood up and replied, "I've been worse... what about you?" Shuwwo looked away from Cal and replied, "I too have been trying to cope in my current situation but it gets lonely here... you know what happens when I'm lonely? When I get lonely... I become hungry... and when I'm hungry, I want only the flesh of my enemy... but thankfully, I've been kept satisfied with the help of my good friend... oh will you look at the time? Its time for you to return... (snaps finger)."

Cal woke up to find the disks still in his hands and the markings disappeared, Cal examined them all, a bright flash temporarily blinding Cal, the others watched as the four disks combined and turned into a new puzzle that looked similar to what Cal saw when holding the disks but the others didn't know what Cal saw, "This puzzle must be for Cal..." Macro handed the puzzle to Cal and told him to take his time when solving it.

Cal heard a slit sound, he looked at the unconscious purgists and realised that one of the purgists had committed suicide to send a signal to the other purgists, "we need to leave now!" As they were about to enter the ship, something had grabbed them, "now... where do you think you're going? I've just arrived... you wouldn't want to act rude towards your guest... hold on... I know you... you're Cal Memre... the Lost Child... allow me to introduce myself, names Radnag, the captain... and I'm going to enjoy this."

He then proceeded to suffocate them to death, he stopped and let them go as he finds it pointless to just kill them like this, "I expect a fight at least... it will be more entertaining." He threw them over the purgists and cracked his bones waiting for them to fight, "you're only going to delay your end you know?" Cal stood up and gave Radneg what he wanted but since he has yet to use his powers, he was still considered weak.
