《All Things Must End》Chapter 10: Beware The Darkness
Advertisement
The teacher didn’t actually take Milo and Renjamin to their room. He did for the other students, but he left them out. He said it was because he had to go work on the upcoming classes, but Milo knew that was just a lie.
Milo could see the fear that was on the teachers face when he spoke about the 'Haunted Dormitories.' Milo wasn't really sure how to feel with all of this. Was he supposed to be afraid like the teacher and Renjamin. He couldn't help but think how he had never actually seen the building before, so why would be scared of it.
This mindset that Milo had, was both a blessing and a curse. Milo would suffer great lengths because of this mindset. Fear is not a bad thing, it is there after all to keep us alive in dangerous situations. Milo would also make incredible gains because of this uncanny outlook on life. Only by living through and not backing down can one profit in a deadly situation.
Milo and Renjamin had to walk to their dorms on their own. The only nice part about this was that they could look around the world that the school was in. They weren't pressured by the teacher tasty in the group and not fall behind. They were also given a map.
This map wasn't supposed to be given to the students. It was a facility map that showed the entire campus. This was also no ordinary paper or plastic map it was electronic. It showed the ENTIRE school campus which was mind boggling large. How large you might ask? It was so large that it took up around three percent of this entire world. Three percent might not sound like a lot, but only three percent had actually been explored in millions of years.

When both of them were walking together Renjamin asked Milo in a shaking voice.
"Do you really think were we will be staying is haunted?"
Milo responded to Renjamin not really caring about how he would feel.
"Yea probably, I couldn't imagine any other reason for the teacher to say that. This school is already so strange and fantastic ' too hard to think it might be haunted."
These were the most non-reassuring words Renjamin had ever heard. He was expecting Milo to say it wasn't true, but he was completely wrong. Now Renjamin just felt even more scared, he was even shaking profusely.
They were both taking minor detours on the way while walking towards their rooms. Milo wanted to backtrack and look at the crystal tower they passed before, but Renjamin didn't want to and wouldn't let Milo go.
They saw a multitude of beautiful sights along the campus. In one spot there was a massive bird-cage that looked to be miles long. When the both of them looked inside, it was full of different kinds of birds. There were emerald-green ones, blazing purple ones, and the most amazing was one that looked to be the size of an elephant and had every color of the rainbow and more on it. This wasn't the only sight they saw though.
A forest stretched out for as far as one could see. It was a deep piercing green that almost blinded one to look at. The trees were so tall they looked like they would pierce the heavens. There was a thick fog that seemed to permeate the entire forest, it almost seemed to be trapped within as none of it leaked out.
There were sounds washing over the two of them when they were walking by. Loud guttural roars rang in their ears. Almost unnoticeable squeaks were heard coming from different directions, it sounded like the small furry friends were holding a conversation. Squawks rang out above the trees as the birds were singing their evening songs to the joy or dismay of the animals bellow. A sense of tension seemed to permeate the area and a slight hint fear could be felt. Something only Milo noticed was an almost unrecognizable bloodlust that locked on to the both of them as they walked by.

Even though they could hear all these noises not a single animal could be seen. It was almost as if they were hiding from them, which they were. The animals at the edge of the forest were horrified of humans as they knew about their dreadful Singulas.
When Milo and Renjamin were almost passed the forest, Renjamin looked into the forest and saw a ghostly apparition. Renjamin was petrified at this sight and couldn't even form words to speak. Milo looked over at Renjamin and saw his profuse shaking only get worse, he also noticed a cold sweat pouring off of him. Milo was confused by this, so he looked into the forest also, what he saw was trail that winded in to the darkness. There was a sign besides path with archaic symbols written on it. Milo had never seen these symbols but for some reason could understand what it said.
"Beware the darkness young one. For those that look, can never look away. Beware the darkness young one. All those who see, shall never see again. Beware the darkness... For when one stares into the abyss, the abyss stares back at thee."
Milo was confused by this cryptic message that was left on the sign. Were the sign said "beware the darkness" for the third time it appeared to be carved away. Milo had no idea why he could read this, or what any of it meant, but he did have this feeling that what it said was incredibly important. Oddly enough it felt like just this one sign held more significance than everything he had learned in his entire life.
Milo looked over to Renjamin and asked him. "Renjamin can you read what that sign says."
Milo pointed to the sign when he said this, Renjamin followed Milos finger with his eyes where it was pointing. Renjamin had a quizzical look on his face and asked Milo.
"Milo are you ok, there is no sign were your pointing only a slight dent in the ground."
Milo was just about to refute Renjamin when he looked back to where the sign was. What Renjamin said had been right there was only a slight indent in the ground with a square piece of stone in the middle of it.
Milo felt he must have made up what he had seen, but life is not so simple. Like a lightning bolt striking him, he realized the stone where he thought the sign was, was the same material as what the sign was made with.
Did he really make it up?

The Radiant War
The human world is aflame with war. Nations clash with their neighbours, while the Kelvon Empire, bulwark of the human world, stands on the brink of civil war. The plans of the enemies of mankind to destroy human civilisation, to restore their own mastery of the world, are well on the way to success. The people of Helberion have vowed to defeat those plans, though. Peace must be restored between the various peoples of mankind so that they can combine their efforts against their true enemy. Even while her country strives to avoid conquest and defeat at the hands of their traditional enemies the Carrowmen, therefore, Princess Ardria journeys to Carrow to meet with the enemy King in an almost hopeless attempt to persuade him of the truth. All her hopes rest on the assumption that he in an unwitting dupe of the true enemy, but lurking at the back of her mind is the fear that he may be all too aware of the truth, that he may have sold out humanity for the promise of personal power. If this is true, then all that awaits her at the end of her journey through fear and danger is imprisonment and the life of a hostage to be used against her father, King Leothan. The Brigadier would help her if he could, but he and Malone, his former batman, are far away, each having their own missions to try and ensure the survival of human civilisation. Having completed his latest task, the Brigadier must race to join her, to assist and protect her, but will he reach her before she arrives at the palace of the enemy King? And will the Princess still have a country to be Princess of by the time she arrives there? Because even if Helberion manages to defeat the all conquering armies of Carrow there is another, even deadlier threat waiting in the wings against which there may be no defence... This is volume three of the Ontogeny series. If you haven't read volume one, Ontogeny, and volume Two, The Electric Messiah, you should read them first.
