Twin Authors: Varied fate

Chapter 25

At the ruined temple

Both Karim and Sylvie sat at the temple, still talking about the memories Karim was forced to see.

So he can take his father role as a hero.

Karim: I need to get out of here, I can't waste any more time.

Sylvie: Not that fast, your family may have believed in you.

But you still need to prove yourself for me, Karim!

Karim: and how shall I do that?

Sylvie: The temple has three gates, each with its own guard, Defeat the guards and you can go to your friends.

Karim picked up his red jacket, and wore it over his black shirt and black pants.

Karim: then I will waste no time.

Sylvie: and I hope they were right...

Karim headed toward the first gate, avoiding spikes from the ground and the arrows shot at him, burn by his chaos flames .

Then he reached The First Guard.

Sylvie inside Karim's mind: *remember, you can't go back in time now, I can't reverse the whole world any more. *

The first guard, was a Stone golem, with one Green shining emerald like eye.

It was the core that moves the golem.

Without hesitation, Karim engulfed his hands in The Black Chaos fire and lunged at one of the golem's leg breaking it.

As the golem lost its balance and fell, Karim jumped mid-air, and with both fists together he smashed the golem's head.

With this he finished the first trial, the second was odd

Ground filled with fire, there was no were to walk.

Karim closed his eyes, he tried to remember that sensation against Alfar, Back then he had wings.

He tried to summon them, and he did.

A Demon like wings made of black fire. Outlined with White flames.

Karim started flying over the burning ground, until he reached to the second guard.

The second guard was a Dullahan, a headless knight, riding a burning Horse.

Karim created a Sword out of Fire, launched toward the knight, the raised his sword to block but Karim

He Went for the Horse's legs.

As the horse fell, The knight rotated only to be stabbed in chest by karim.

Karim: I don't have time for the likes of you.

Time for the final trial.

Each trial made Karim, remember something.

The golem, reminded him how to use Chaos.

The flaming ground reminded him of his wings

And the knight reminded him of the Sword.

Finally, the Final trial, was just an empty arena, with a white circle in the middle.

Karim stood in the circle and things started to darken around him

Lara: it's all your fault!

Nirvana: Why did you write the novel.

Yota: Leave us alone.

Azmort: Join me, and together we will get stronger and rule the world.

Alfar (evil laugh): How pitful, little Author.

Marco: I hate you.

Karim listened to all those illusions, eyes tearing.

He knew they were fake, but the pain he felt was real.

Afterall, everything began because of him and his family.

Lara: Karim, I hate you, you are the worst.

Because of you, All of my friends died

(shouting) I hate you, Karim!

Karim cut the illusion with his sword.

Karim: They won't feel like this, and even if they did, I will still protect them, Till my last breath.

Then he heard a sharp voice inside his mind

???: you…. Give familiar feelings.

I will watch you closer, The rumored Chaos King!

Karim: The beast… huh?

Anyway I need to be quick.

At the Battle field

Nirvana: K- Karim

You are alive.

Yaggow: This is not Karim, Be careful!

Chaos: How cruel! You don't want to believe your brother is still alive?

Yaggow: I believe that he is, but you are definitely not him.

What do you want? and why do you look like my brother?

Chaos: for what I want, is destruction.

I will make everyone suffer as I did.

And for my looks, it's because I am Karim, but a better version.

Chaos: since I am here, maybe I can take one life with me.

Chaos raised his hand with black fire. Then a black collar covered Nirvana's neck trying to choke her to death.

Yaggow lunged at Chaos with the scythe in hand, shouting at him to stop but Chaos with the other hand sent him flying away.

Yaggow (Coughing blood): No!...

Nirvana: Ka… Karim, please.

Stop…..

Then a sudden pressure was felt, and someone In red jacket landed on the battle field cracking the ground and disabling the black collar.

Everyone looked in shock, Including Chaos.

Chaos (sharp voice): So you are alive….

The man didn't talk, he lunged at Chaos with his fist, but Chaos grabbed sylas and ascended into air.

Sylas looked at Chaos and The man.

M –Master! There's two of you? What's going on?

Chaos: Later

He looked back one final time

Chaos: We will meet once again, weaker version of me.

And as he said that, he flew toward the Fissure, with The same black wings The Man had on his back.
