11 Interlude - Another judgement! (1/2)

I wake up in a white place. I sit up and take a look around, its just endless white plains! Nothing is here. It is the worst outcome possible....

I am dead!

This is the river of souls, or what a mind that doesn't want to go insane can perceive of it at least. How did this happen! My memories are just a mashed up pile of fragments. I... I was fighting. Yes, I was fighting that bastard!

And I was winning! His broken, bloody body was lying before me! At last, after all this time I had him to my feet and at my whim! Then he raised his hand and fired that small fireball at me!

No need to dodge such a weak spell! I just stood there grinning! Oh, what an idiot I was. The pain was unbelievable, as everything went red and I could feel my soul being torn apart! I could have dodged it so easily.

It hurt so much, but.... but why am I here now?

”Are you yourself again Myrm?”

I turn around, ”S... Seria? What happened? Why are we here?”

Seria is there. The goddess of life and death for this realm.

”You fought with Ascathon. And he killed you.” -Seria

”Yes, I …...”, I don't know what to say.....

”Your soul was torn apart, it took me quite a while to piece you back together.” -Seria

I try to get to my feet, but I am weak and fall back to all fours, ”So that bastard defeated me! Where is he now! Surely he is watching and laughing, is he not!?”

Seria goes to her knees and drops a black marble before me.
