CHAPTER 4 the light of freedom



(Alexandros P.O.V)


"Come cursed one,hell awaits you"


said the Reaper,walking from the darkness of the cave and he said


"you can't escape me Alexandros"


Ottmar looked at me and said with despair in his voice 


"Death you need to take Alexandros to the material realm, Marcus we must hold him"


Marcus looked at Ottmar and told with determination in his voice


"yes king Ottmar"


Death looked at me and said 


"Alexandros we need to go now, i need to make the portal to the material realm"


the Reaper stopped in his tracks and told with anger in his voice 


"You think  you can escape me ?,i will show you"


The Reaper held up his hands in the air and purple waves started to flow from his hands to the ground and a minute later skeletal hands began to sprout from the ground and a moment later a bunch of skeleton warriors stand in front of The Reaper all looking at me only waiting for their orders,in their eyes sockets a void of darkness and a giant skelleton stopped in front of the others looking at me with two giant flame swords on his hands 











(their commander)


and then The Reaper gave the word that unleashed hell upon us 


"Attack"


Their commander raised one of his swords and gave a roar that echoed in the cavern and the others followed him,they started to charge against us but suddenly a wall of light blocked us keeping the horde on the other side,they started hitting with their weapons trying to brake it down,Ottmar turned to us and said with a weak voice supporting himself at Marcus 


"this wall will not hold for much longer,you must go,NOW"


i looked at Ottmar and said with surprise in my voice 


"you know miracles ?"


he gave a small laught and said 


"i learned from a few clerics of Avernuss,now you must go" 


Death turned to us 


"the portal is opened "


"Alexandros you must go,save Victoria and Nosgoth"


i looked at Ottmar and Marcus and told them with horror on my eyes 


"i WILL NOT left you two behind,i WILL NOT abandon you"


and suddenly Marcus and Ottmar gave a little smile 


"Son you will never abandon us we will always be with you"


Ottmar said with tears in his eyes and Marcus added with tears on his own eyes 


"yeah Alexandros we will always fight with you"


and i said adding more tears and with a small smile


"I can't believe it,the great Marcus is crying ?"


he looked at me with a stone face but suddenly he started laughing and said


"it looks like i am,what can i say ? nobody is made of stone,now come here"


he came foward with Ottmar and gave me a hug and suddenly a light engulfed us and Ottmar told me with grief in his voice 


"it looks like its time to go my son, we will miss you but don't forget we will always be with you"


and Marcus looked at me and said 


"we will meet again friend"


i looked at them for a moment not wanting to let go and i say to Marcus 


"you're my brother and i'm sure sure we will see each other again"


and we embraced each other again for a moment when suddenly they dissapeared in white particles leaving only me and Death on the cave,and she said 


"Alexandros we must go,the barrier will not hold much longer"


i looked at the barrier and saw that it was all cracked and was almost falling down 


"okay let's go"


i walked to the portal and she looked at me


"Okay Alexandros hold on tight,you may feel a little dizzy"


she came behind me and  placed one hand on my shoulder and the other around my neck suddenly the wall exploded and the skelletons advanced toward us but then the walls of the cave started to melt and move and the skelletons dissapeared in thin air and the water on the floor disappeared ,i looked around for a moment and saw a coffin with the lid open but then i notice that we were alone in the cave,and then i remembered that Death was still with her arms around my neck and with her face on the crook of my neck i said to her felling a little blush spreading across my face


"Ehh...Death you can already let go"


she removed her arms very fast and she said very awkwardly


"i.i.im sorry Alexandros"


i looked at her with a blank face until i say 


"no problem "


I looked around the cave and said with obvious confusion in my voice


"Where are we ?"


she looked at me and said 


"This is your tomb but now in the Material realm and by the looks of it it's already night time"


i looked at her processing all the information she gave me,i looked to the back of the cave and saw the exit,i looked at death and told her


"it's better we get out of here and see on what part of Nosgoth we are"


she looked at me with a sad face and say nothing,i looked at her and said with concern in my voice 


"Death what's wrong ?"


she looked at me and gave a sight and told me


"is ...the thing is,i can't go with you i'm a prisioner to this cave,the Reaper imprisioned me here and my sisters on other caves across Nosgoth because we do not agree on his cruelty,so we're prisioners to this caves until the end of time "


she began to flow to the darkness of the cave almost dissappearing when i rushed forward and grabbed her skeletal hand and told her looking at the blue orbs in her eye sockets


"Listen Death i may have met you only a few moments ago but for my honor and my knighthood i will not let you here at the Reaper will,you're a free spirit not a animal on a cage,so listen to me:what i need to do to set you and your sisters free ?"


she looked at me in surprise her mouth open in disbelief 


(Death P.O.V)


i keep looking at Alexandros not believing what he told me,this Vampire is willing to do anything to save me and my sisters from this prisons, i felt something moving inside of me like a fire that could burn a entire forest to the ground,in that moment i didn't think of anything i only moved foward and gave him a tight hug and told him with the deepest gratitude


"thank you"


(Alexandros P.O.V)


I looked surprised at her when she gave me the hug and said to her 


"you're welcome"


she dropped me on the ground and told me with a serious tone in her voice


"are you sure you wanna do this Alexandros ?"


i looked at her for a moment  and I answered with all certainty in the world


"i'm sure"


i looked at her and she said with happiness on her voice 


"so it's decided, for i to be free we need to make a connection between our souls,a bound,it will break the spell the Reaper placed upon this cave and i will be set free,so think very well because from this point there's no turning back"


i looked at her thinking of the answer when i told her


"let's make the bound"


she looked at me for a moment and told me with passion in her voice


"stretch your hand Alexandros"


and i obeyed,she streched her hand and and put it on mine,that moment a blue litght started emanating from our hands and  disappeared,she looked at me and said


"it's done i can feel it,im free the spell has been broken"


suddenly she caught me on a tight hug and started spinning around the cave giving a smile she dropped me on the ground and told me with happiness in her voice 


"thank you Alexandros you have returned my liberty I'm eternally grateful to you "


"you're welcome Death let's get out of here and see in what part of Nosgoth we are right now"


i started walking to the end of the cave and found the exit showing a light in the end of the cave and when i reached the entrance of the cave i saw something i thought i would never see again



"ah Nosgoth i'm back and now:Nemesis i'm coming for you"
