If you have to thank someone today, thank God for the gift of life.
This story is not the tale of Destiny but instead focases on a diffrent charecture. I would like to thank a guy from the RPG gane I'm in. The charecture is his idea but I'm changing the personality to fit the story a little more.

I dedicate this chapter to Gi Kryn for creating Sean Firewing.

Walking through the Shadows (Sean's Tale)
Chapter 3
By. Essence


I needed to feel the air rushing past me, my body was a bullet shooting through the silence. Trees passed me, their branches waving to my pressence or reaching down to stop my quest. I didn't care, I was an animal running free through nature doing has I please.

What I really am is a man, my name is Sean Firewing, Lord and protector of the dimension outside of Earth. I am a man of power and strength, I can run free in the wind but I'm stuck in a rut unable to move. I am a bird caught in a trap, forever beating it's wings agaisn't the bars hoping to be free.

Before me a sweeping carpet of grass ripplied ending in the slope of a cliff. The town sitting below, quiet in it's grace. People materalized from the buildings, womyn carrying baskets of food, children running under foot in an endless game of tag while men came home. Guns slinged on sholders carrying bags and tins in their hands.
I watched this all from above, me an ominious shadow on the peacefullness of their lives. The sun casting a blood red cast over everything, my shadow stretched behing me disappering into the shadows of the trees. I mingled in the woods, my tunic stained with sweat and splattered with the blood of the sun.
I was a god in my land.

" The night is shadow that cloaks us all tonight," The master said looking up into the starry sky, his hands clasped behind his back.

I looked up from the books spread in front of me, a smile spreading on my face. The Master of Arts spoke with the wisdom of a thousand men, his riddles always seemed to mean something. Even now has he spoke of the night, I sensed something was going to happen and only he knew the outcome.

" What is the meaning of that?" I asked bending back over the texts.
The Master did not answer me but instaed kept looking at the stars, a silence filled the room broken by the crackaling of the flames and the voices of people passing by.

" A man seeks her in the night, eyes like the ocean, she captivates him with her beauty," the Master replied breaking the silence.
" A man, a beautiful girl? Why are you telling me this?" I asked confused at the whole story.
" Because you will become a part of the story, Destiny is calling you. Can't you feel her pressence in the room?" The Master asked looking up to the ceiling.

I looked up myself, expecting to see a beautiful girl dressed in purple floating above us smiling down on me. There was nothing except the ceiling tiles, pictures painted a serene scene of nature but no goddess.
" If she calling me, then I'm not hearing her," I replied sarcastically bending back over the books.
" That's because your not listining for her voice, she is on the Earth. You won't hear her until you see her," the Master replied coming to stand in front of the desk, his eyes boring into mine.
" Why is it my duty to protect her, can't she protect herself?" I asked stubberonly, unwilling to believe the Master.
" Prehaps she can, but prehaps she can not," the Master replied turning away from me and walking to the door.

I watched has he walked out of the room, the door swinging shut behind me him. I could only stand behind the desk trying to detangle the mess of my thoughts.

The next day dawned with rain, dark clouds hanging over the land, a silver curtain of rain falling on the land.
I awoke early to the sound of thunder rumbling and a flash of lightning so close to my window I could touch it. Climbing out of bed, I dressed quickly into my clothes running from the room.

The rain splattered on my skin, soaking my clothes but I didn't care. Houses flew by me has I ran past them, lights shining in their windows doors closed tightly to the dampness. Familes were locked deep in the confines of their happiness, while I ran past my emotions a knot inside me.

I stood on the hill above the town, rain water running into my eyes. My breathing was labored, wet cloth sticking to my body, rising up and down with my breathing. I had run through the wood for what seemed to be forever. I needed to think, needed to be free of mine mind, I needed to understand the meaning of my mission.
Now I stood above the town rain pouring down on me, lightning flashing accompinied by the boom of thunder. My mind had already been made up, I only needed to carry out the neccistiy accompanied with my mission.

Inside the castle was a buzz with activaty, maids hurried past me intent on their morning cleaning. I carried no heed to the fact that I was soaking wet, water dripping from my body. The Master was meditaiting in his room when I knocked and entered the room. He looked up from his meditations and nodded.
I knew then that he understood my intentions.

4 hours later everything was accomplished and I was ready to leave for the Earth. I now stood in a room painted a vivid orange toned with red forming fire that spewed purple smoke to the ceiling. The Master stood a little away from me, his hands clasped togethor, the sleeves of his green tunic covering them. I now stood in front of the portal looking into it, I wasn't scared of my mission. I was ready, I was a soilder headed to slay the dragon and save the princess.

" Are you ready to go forward and accomplish your mission?" The Master asked breaking the silence of my thoughts.

I nodded, stooping downwards to pick up the bag at my feet and stepped forward into the machine. Smoke parted it's ways has I entered then came togethor again to cover my form.

" Then I wish you goodbye," he replied

The Master parted his hands and reached over to the glowing keypad next to him, his hand flew over the buttons then returned to being covered by his sleeves. Lights flickered to life and smoke filtered into the room curling around his still form. I could feel my body being pulled into a sub space, my mind remained seeing the Master standing among the smoke before it closed out and I was travaling at light speed towards the Earth.

It was night when I landed on the Earth, heat shimmering on the city when I opened my eyes again. I was standing in a darkened room, the window bare of curtains that allowed moonlight to stream in. Ending in a path at my feet leaving me to stand in the dark, my bag laying discarded at my feet.
" So this is Earth," I said looking around at the bare white walls and the city backdrop in the window.
I bent down to retreive my bag from the floor and walked into the other room. The thought on my mind?
I need to get some furniture.

Morning dawned bright and clear, gone was the rain of my home planet replaced by sunshine and heat. Already I was sweating when I walked out of the bedroom clad only in my new Earth clothes. A pair of black boxers with red lips all over them, a gift of the Master who had given them to me his lips twitching into what I suspected was a smile.
The windows were all closed but over night, furniture had appeared making the place more lived in. I smiled at the familerty of my bedroom in it the grace and in design and walked into the kitchen. A dozen purple roses lay next untop of a piece of creme colored paper.
Wondering to what was going on I picked up the paper and read it's contents, written in the spidery script of my Master. It's meaning was clear, the note dropped out of my hand drifting to the floor had I ran back to my bedroom to dress.

The End? For now until the next chapter comes out. Please Reivew your comments on the story. Thank you.
