Hallways of Horror

[William Saint Claire]

*William now found himself in what felt to be a maze. He felt weak...like a human. He stood up dusting himself off the best he could and looked around. In each direction a path as far as the eye could see. It was dark, with only the light from candles placed on the walls to light the way.*

I swear once I get out of here......

*He stopped mid sentence. He realized maybe he would never get out, and if he did he was no match for the seers. He just huffed in annoyance and then began to walk amlessly down one of the halls. It started to get narrow and he contemplated turning around but continued. Why not, he was stuck for all eternity. Might as well continue. He finally came to another mid point with halls in different directions. In the center was two picture frames on an old wooden table. He walked over and looked at them. One was of his late wife, and the other of Raedia.*

Cruel bastards....I WONT LET YOU MESS WITH MY HEAD IN HERE!

*Then he heard the voices of the seers.*

Noone is trying to mess with your head Saint Claire....this is a reminder of the attrocities that you have created. This is just one...what you did to that innocent girl and your loving wife...one of your biggest sins! And for that, you are here.

*William layed both pictures face down and spoke very low.*

My wife...was dying...what else was I to do? Just let her go and spend the rest of eternity in the seventh circle with the rest of the demons! No...that girl needed help...she needed the strength to survive in this world and I gave that to her....and you seers think you are all knowing!

ENOUGH! You put your emotions into the living! You know this is an attrocity and you must be punished!

*William grimaced and ignored the voices as he continued down a hallway to his left. The walls suddenly became sharp with jagged rocks sticking out. He squeezed his way through to a huge room and his eyes lit up with fear and anger. That room...the room he was tortured in for so long in Sector X. He looked around and once again the voices were heard.*

"Once again another atrocity Saint Claire. This is where your powers were discovered and used like a tested monkey...and if it wasnt for your emotions towards the living you would have never been here. "

*William shouted to the rooftops as loud as he could*

HE WAS MY SON! You expect me to just let him suffer there....a father! Just let his son suffer! And i am punished for protecting my child!

NO! YOU ARE PUNISHED FOR THE EMOTION! ONCE AGAIN YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO INTERFERE IN FREE WILL! THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOU TO STEP IN. IF IT IS HIS DESTINY TO SUFFER THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO STEP IN!

*William stared at the devices used to hurt him for so long for a few minutes, as the memories flooded bak to him and then he turned around and went back through the hallway. For a while he went to room after room. The seers each time placing a moment in his history in each one, telling him what he had done wrong, trying to torture his mind. William was helpless to fight against this....evil. He finally gave up after what seemed like years of walking....and he sat down closing his eyes.*

You know seers....there is something that I did that you didnt anticipate...See these chains that bind me in this box of hell...they have a weakness. A pure heart...a pure heart full of love is the one thing that can break these chains other than fixing everything myself...and what you dont realize is that Damion...my son....Raedia...and her reincarnated soul...they were made for a reason....to create something that was pure of heart. And that little girl is going to be the one to save me....and when im out...im done...I will be a human, powerless and away from your torment. Because the seers cant mess with free will and I will have that free will...all I have to do is sit...and wait for my grandaughter to come...

*The whole room started to rumble as the anger of the seers grew, but they were powerless.*

Im always...one step ahead...

[William Saint Claire]

*He sat and meditated, feeling very weak as the seers tried to suck every ounce of life from him without killing him and sending him to other world once again. Quietly he sat and chanted strange words over and over again, stopping to catch his breath. Finally after what seemed like an eternity a small grin came over his face. On the outisde of the box, the chains began to break, one small crack at a time.*

It shouldnt be long now...

*He began to chant again as the Seers tried everything in their power to torture his mind, bringing old voices to his mind of his past. Giving him visions of the blood and gore he had once caused. Yet nothing worked, and he just continued chanting. More and more the chains began to crack, until suddenly one of the seers became overly angry and Williams clothes burst into flame. He screamed out in pain as his skin burned, but suddenly realize through all the pain what was happening and he began to smile and laugh maniacly through the pain as his skin turned to ash. The other seers finally took control of the other, casting him into oblivion, but it was too late. WIlliams body was dead, and the chains had kept him locked away, but not his spirit. WIlliam found himself suddenly back in other world. But he felt different.*

So...this is what its like to be a Phaze...

*He grinned at his new found immortality, yet felt a relief for he had no longer held the burden of holding the world upon his shoulders. He relaxed for a while in other world, finally not being able to hear the shrieks of worldly pain of life, no longer hearing the rule of the Seers, just quiet. He sat getting used to his new found abilitys and finally after what seemed like weeks, gained a strong hold on what he had become. A Phaze. The soul of a dead diety, given the powers to change themselves into any form and manisfest in the eyes of a human, and posses just the like. He finally left the other world and transported himself to earth. He began to wonder the wide open world until he could find what he was looking for.*
