The First Forbidden: Trial Two

The demon was running at a tremendously fast speed. Richard could hardly escape due to his injuries from the train wreck. He had no idea where he was, but he knew he was on the other side.
<MURDER> <HATRED>
The voices were amplified. The demon and the other side- it was all too much. Richard thought he was losing his mind. he found a doorway and he ran through just as the wretched beast was about to cleave him.


Richard didn't stop, even to catch his breath. He ignored the slowly-magnifying pain until he passed out in a dark hallway.

Richard was in a dark room, naked and strapped to a chair. he was terrified because he knew he was in the real world, but he knew he was still on the other side as well. "Hello?" he called. No answer. 

Suddenly, he wasn't able to breathe. He saw horrid hands stretching from every corner of the room, grasping his neck. He heard voices calling to him. This dream was more torturous than being whipped and burned alive simultaneously.

he saw faceless heads. Heads that were coming straight at him. he could not beg for them to stop. A the faceless heads, now with bodies, began to come closer.

With all his breath, Richard screamed until a voice told him,

I will be free. And you will be forgotten- and Forbidden.
   Richard woke up after that, shivering and bleeding profusely.


You have taken the first step. But you can stay here no longer.

"Who.....who are you?" Richard wheezed weakly.

Silence. And then a flash off in the distance.



Richard then woke up in a time of happiness. Ten years ago. He was at a dance with his wife.

"Oh, darling," His wife said. the two of them smiled. They danced alone in the moonlight. They were outside his old house. They poured each other a glass of wine and fed each other fruit. This was a normal tradition for 5 years before this, and 2 years after that.
His wife went to meetings from 8:00 to 7:00. The two loved each other. Richard was happy.
"I love you," he said, and they kissed
Immortal ταλαιπωρία καλεί την αληθινή βασίλισσα
Immortal suffering calls the true queen(Immortal talaipo̱ría kaleí ti̱n ali̱thiní̱ vasílissa)
After hearing that, his wife rushed inside.

Richard woke up in his bed. he felt fine. He was dressed neatly and there was no blood on him. He heard a scream from outside. He rushed outside and saw......

He saw chaos. Buildings crushed or turned into ashes. Burning people. Gunshots and explosions. The whole world was a warzone.
He heard one last voice.
This is the price for your stay. Ten thousand years of bloodshed and murder.
he could only utter one word.
"Impossible.
