Dust in the Wind

[Ultimate7777]

"SHUT UP, B**CH!!!"

 

 

 

"Mommy?!"

 

 

 

"Honey, don't worry it'll all be ok!"

 

 

 

*SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP*

 

 

 

"MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

"Baby!"

 

 

 

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!!"

 

 

 

"MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

*SLASH!*

 

 

 

"NOW I'M COMING FOR YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

 

 

 

"MOMMY! NO! MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

*THUD*

 

 

 

...and all went dark

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He awoke, seeing the beautiful sky, and puffy, fluffy, bunny tail clouds, dotting the sky, sometimes covering the golden sun...

 

 

 

'It's a perect day!' he thought, 'A perfect guaran-d**n-teed day!'

 

 

 

"Bye, baby, I'll always love you..." he heard. And the he remembered...

 

 

 

The horrible screaming, his mom crying with pain, and the horrible burn he felt when...when what?

 

 

 

"Baby, remember me always..."

 

 

 

And suddenly, he knew where he was; his head on his mother's breast, lying along her lap, and then he felt it. He felt a horrible cold chill. He felt the very life leaving his mother, and he wanted to do something about it... yet he couldn't.

 

 

 

"Mommy, no!" He knew, it was too late...

 

 

 

He kissed her on her pale cheek, and he felt life returning to her. Not alot, but he could feel more warmth, a pulse, small, weak, and irregular, but a pulse nonetheless. She opened her eyes, and looked at him with luminous, solemn longing...she smiled...and died.

 

 

 

All he could feel was a big hole inside of him, a gigantic gorge or chasm of some kind, with nothing inside but emptiness. The essence of emptiness was inside, making it have even less than it had so.

 

 

 

And there he cried for days, his mind wishing to be with his mother, his mind knowing it couldn't be so.

 

 

 

One day, he awoke again - BUMP!

 

 

 

Something hit his head! He got up and saw a bronze dagger...he got it and SLASH! he hit something and then he felt an explosion!

 

 

 

"Man, that was my last ball you jerk!" said a young girl, redheaded ponytails at her head, and two long curly bangs giving her a very mature and womanly look.

 

 

 

"What?"

 

 

 

"Ohmigod! X! It's you!"

 

 

 

She embraced him heartily with all her might, as if trying to become one with him, and though he had no idea who this was, for the first time, he felt the gap inside of him closing...he felt loved is all he felt, really.

 

 

 

"Where have you been, X?"

 

 

 

"I don't know"

 

 

 

What have you been doing?"

 

 

 

"I don't know"

 

 

 

"Do you know who I am, X?"

 

 

 

"I...don't know"

 

 

 

And to this, her face recoiled, not in anger, but in sadness. Indeed she was melancholy, because X was

 

 

 

"...my best friend!"

 

 

 

"I'm sorry, I don't know!!! I just don't know!!!"

 

 

 

And then there was an awkward pause between them.

 

 

 

"I loved you, X!" said a woman's voice, deep and passionate, sadistic and seductive.

 

 

 

X looked up, "What?"

 

 

 

And the girl was no longer in front of him... instead there was a beautiful woman, with redheaded ponytails on her head, and two long curly bangs giving her a very naive and childish look...

 

 

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

"Sleep. Those little slices of Death. How I loathe them..."

 

 

 

"Begone demon!"

 

 

 

"YOU BEGONE! SENVENTIOR DESTINETH MALIGNO!"

 

 

 

"No! Evil demon, you're sending me-"

 

 

 

"To hell...no one messes with me and gets away with it!"

 

 

 

"NOOOOOOOO!" Said the man in the black robes as a portal opened in front of him. Indeed it looked like a rip in the fabric of the place, in the fabric of time and space itself, and inside was an angry fire, fire which was hotter than hell itself, which was impossible, because the fire was from hell. He felt as if he was being sucked in...and before he was pulled into the portal, he was already being burned alive.

 

 

 

"Indeed, no one messes with Maggis and gets away with it!" said the demon, who was big, red, and pretty danged ugly. His eyes beamed of intense hatred while his body, even his majestic wings, glowed red like a fire of blood. And then it all melted away, the whole demon seemed to melt, and inside was simply a little boy.

 

 

 

"And I mean no one! NO ONE MESSES WITH ME!" Said the young boy, but his voice was deep, raspy, and malignant, just like that of the demon he had come from. He was only a small child, not much older than nine summers. Pale skin, and dark black hair. They contrasted so much, that they seemed just out of place so close to each other, as if it had to be impossible, but the eyes, those deep anger-ridden eyes remained from the demon, those eyes balanced it out...

 

 

 

"I loved you, X!" he heard. A woman's rich voice. "What?" said another voice. A child's carefree sound.

 

 

 

"Who-who are you?" said the boy, his red eyes of fire softening. He remembered them, but he didn't know from where.

 

 

 

And suddenly, there was a bright flash of light!

 

 

 

And they found themselves in a white, white room. It was as white as the skin of a corpse, as if Death itself had kissed it. Soft white feathers were falling from...Well, there was no sky, or no ceiling, it seemed they were falling from nowhere.

 

 

 

"WHAT THE FU-" said the pale boy

 

 

 

And a voice resounded through the walls, even though there weren't any walls or barriers of any kind, as if they could just step off beyond the whiteness into oblivion.

 

 

 

A deep, gravely, bass voice, that echoed through both their minds, and their surroundings.

 

 

 

"You three have been chosen, to destory the imbalance that will prevail in the world of Gielenor. You three have experienced changes in the fabric of timespace; you have traveled through time as well as space in instants, and apparently, to the same area. The unknown laws of nature that did this made it happen for a reason. I know that reason. Destroy the cause of the imbalance. Destroy it, and balance it out!"

 

 

 

"Who are you?" the three cried out in unison.

 

 

 

And there was no reply, it felt as if the voice, that fourth presence had left them. And then they heard the wind. The horrible whirlwind that was coming straight to them. No, straight for them. As it engulfed them, they could see naught one fingerlength in front of thier faces, much less each other. All they felt was the powerful force of the whirlwind as it lifted them up and carried them away.

 

 

 

"GUTHIX!!!"said the voice, distorted by the powerful winds.

 

 

 

Another flash of light.

 

 

 

"I AM GUTHIX!!!

 

 

 

And then, X thought,'We've been visited by the god Guthix!'

 

 

 

And his mind went blank.

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

They found themselves in the middle of a vast plain area, covered in sand...the unbearable sun beat their shoulders and backs with unrelenting cruelty.

 

 

 

"We're in the Al Kharid Desert!" said the girl, who had been a woman not too long ago.

 

 

 

"How are we going to get out?" said the pale boy, who had been a demon a while back.

 

 

 

"Well, we'll just find a way," said the other boy, X, who had been 6 years old just over an hour and a half ago and was now 14.

 

 

 

"Well, I think," said, X, "that what we need to do, is introduce ourselves. I'm...or I think my name is X. I don't remember anything that happened before I lay in my mother's arms as she died. And then...you..." he pointed to the girl.

 

 

 

"Kalie," she said, "my name is Kalie, and you, X, had been lost for 5 weeks. I saw you at the Blue Moon Inn in Varrock. And then you disappeared. Instantly. I met you at the Blue Moon Inn once again, 12 years after you turned into thin air right in front of my face. I thought you had left me, by your own will....I loved you..."

 

 

 

Another awkward silence.

 

 

 

"Well," said the pale boy, "I'm...Maggis, and I was a greater demon before. I met you two, and recognized you instantly, but I don't know from where...it must've been deja vu..."

 

 

 

"No, it wasn't," said X, "We all know each other from the future, from now...We are going to do something, and then something else is going to happen that will send us back in time, to where we just were and we won't remember this happened. It will happen over and over again..."

 

 

 

"Unless we stop it!" said Maggis.

 

 

 

And then, the blue sky suddenly turned black, the whole of the world went dark in the shadows of the night. And there, they saw three gems high in the sky. A ruby, an emerald, and a sapphire, shining light to the heavens.

 

 

 

In the center was a diamond, a crystallic diamond that was brighter than twenty suns, yet its light seemed not to reach the world.

 

 

 

The gems represented the gods:

 

 

 

the blood-red ruby was that of Zamorak,

 

 

 

the green emerald was the representation of Guthix,

 

 

 

and the deep blue sapphire was Saradomin's.

 

 

 

"But, what is the big diamond in the middle? Who's is it?" asked X.

 

 

 

"Oh my god!" exclaimed Kalie, "It's the Great Battle of....of..."

 

 

 

"The Gods..." said Maggis, finishing up her sentence.

 

 

 

"Yes," said Kalie, "The scripture went:

 

 

 

And so, three gems doth entered the night sky, with a luminescent diamond in thine center. In each was a god, Zammorac, Sardomin, and Gothix. An angel of death will cross the sky, that will head for three figures in the dark, while another angel shall fight that one. Time shall be erased, changed, and recorded. The battle of the gods has begun."

 

 

 

"We're here to change history! Not the future! We know each other from the past when we were transported here! But what happened is that we never fought each other..." said X.

 

 

 

"What?!"

 

 

 

"We're here representing the gods! Maggis, you follow Zamorak, Kalie is Saradominist, and I follow Guthixism... They're not too obvious, our little preconceptions of our favored gods, but what we're supposed to do is fight each other, and we never have..."

 

 

 

"No wait," said Maggis, "All this we're saying, hasn't it already happened? Haven't we already said it? We can't change the past! Like you said, we'll live these moments of our lives over and over again and never know!"

 

 

 

And X went stiff... His eyes illuminated with a creepy glow, he was in a trance. In fact, he was possessed by Guthix, and his mouth sputtered out strange words:

 

 

 

"Da so Seraph sin Mortus leth thine plume en zi blorn,

 

 

 

Nox Net aspir et so car si so malig da Net slorn,

 

 

 

Nox so mire si so inundumers corte Mortley nox frio,

 

 

 

Nox thiner misericord not unther pleved nox parsempre lien snio"

 

 

 

" I know that language," said Maggis, "It is the ancient words of Guthix Script!"

 

 

 

"What did he say?" asked Kalie.

 

 

 

"Oh, god, he's summoned a monster! The Angel of Death!"

 

 

 

"The angle of death summon? The one in the scriptures. He's coming for us! We're the three figures in the dark!"

 

 

 

"No, remember," said Maggis, "Another angel will come and fight that one!"

 

 

 

"Summon your own, Maggis! You summon it! Simply say the words X said! Hurry, I see him! Don't you!? He's coming from the sky!"

 

 

 

And indeed, there was a great angel, his face scarred, his wings black and majestic, and a scythe of death at his side.

 

 

 

"We're dead," said Kalie, "dead, dead, dead..."

 

 

 

"Not if I can help it! Get back Kalie!"

 

 

 

And Maggis grew into the trance that X was in, a soft fire around him, and his eyes a cold blue-white.

 

 

 

"As the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,

 

 

 

And he breath'd in the face of the foe as he pass'd,

 

 

 

and the eyes of the sleepers wax'd deadly and chill,

 

 

 

And their hearts but once heav'd and forever grew still!"

 

 

 

And behind him, a great blast was heard...

 

 

 

ZOOM!

 

 

 

A black ray came at lightspeed and hit the other angel dead on.

 

 

 

"You saved us, Maggis!" said Kalie, "You saved us!"

 

 

 

And indeed, the two angels were battling before their eyes...

 

 

 

One hit the other as the other hit him. They were evenly matched to the narrow. Either they would both die, or they would both live.

 

 

 

The gems started descending from the sky, and there, inside of each, they could see the Gods, Saradomin, frail and old, his visage an elder.

 

 

 

Zamorak, a horrible monster, his greed far surpassing the others. The gems broke into showers of light and then and there, the two started fighting.

 

 

 

It was like nothing anyone had ever seen! But Guthix, Guthix remained in his gem, asleep, yet awake, watching them, yet not so, participating in the battle and keeping away, egging the two gods on, and telling them to stop... It was impossible, but it was happening.

 

 

 

Suddenly, there was a third flash of light...

 

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

 

"SHUT UP, B**CH!!!"

 

 

 

"Mommy?!"

 

 

 

"Honey, don't worry it'll all be ok!"

 

 

 

*SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP-SLAP*

 

 

 

"MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

"Baby!"

 

 

 

"I SAID SHUT UP!!!!"

 

 

 

"MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

*SLASH!*

 

 

 

"NOW I'M COMING FOR YOU, YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

 

 

 

"MOMMY! NO! MOMMY!!!"

 

 

 

*THUD*

 

 

 

...and all went dark
