you in the Halls of Valhalla,” Ari said as Finna ran to him and kissed him. The wind blew her blonde hair up and two black dragons rose behind each of them. She let her lips leave his and he touched her face. They both turned and pressed their backs to each other and let their voices rise as they cried out like any true Viking warrior would. Ari swung his axe as the Dragon screeched at him and flapped his large wings.

“Come demon. Take your chances with me.”

“Ari, do not be an ass. Just kill it!”

“Oh I plan to my love, I plan to.”

Both Ari and Finna ran towards their dragons, swinging their battle axes and void of any fear. Ari Jumped into the air and caught the edge of its right wing and it swung around and hit him, knocking him across the road and almost the far building. Finna glanced behind her and screamed to him as the Dragon landed in front of her and screamed, blowing her hair back and making her cough.

“You foul fucking beast!” she screamed at it as she rushed it as Ari had his own.

Gunner stood his ground as demon after demon rose and the battle became a chaotic mess around him. He was not interested in anything but one man…that of Lucifer and as a large black dragon rose and landed on the edge of the hole in the street it turned, belching fire high into the air and he saw him in his red armor on the back of it. Lucifer grinned and slid off of it, swinging his sword slowly at his side as he walked towards Gunner. Gunner gritted his teeth and gripped the hilt of blade as he had never done before. The hatred rising in him made him even stronger than he thought he could be. Lucifer stopped and snapped his fingers as everything came to a stop around them and Gunner’s chest rose and fell as he turned to see Ari on his back, screaming as a demon descended upon him, Finna was in the air, sword drawn and heading straight towards a demon with claws drawn and mouth gaping wide. He looked behind him and saw vampires and wolves alike, fighting side by side as they battled for their own lives. He turned back to Lucifer and Lucifer removed his helmet, which was red just like his armor and had two large wings that spread out on each side and went behind his head. He tossed it aside and held his blade up as he looked at it.

“So here we are.”

Gunner shifted his weight to his other foot and kept his eyes trained on him.

“You will fall.”

Lucifer grinned and gripped the hilt of his blade.

“I fucked your woman.”

Gunner took a slow breath and could not allow it to force his temper.

“It must be disappointing that you had to shift your appearance to get into her bed.”

“Oh she knew. It is true, I looked like you. But she knew, as did I, that as she came, it was me who gave her more pleasure than you could ever hope to. I gave her a night she would never forget.”

“Fuck you,” Gunner said as he started to bring his sword up higher.

“Marcus. Always so full of pride. If you had only stayed by my side as I offered you, you would be a general of my army and my friend, but here we are and you will die tonight, as will everyone you care about.”

He looked around and did not see Halo.

“Where is she? Did your anger kill her? Did you destroy her as you did your own sister?” he said as Tercia crawled from the hole behind him, black eyed and blood stained lips. Gunner stepped back as she stepped up to Lucifer’s side. Gunner cried out as Lucifer jumped into the air and landed on the back of his black demon. It rose into the air as Tercia stood there and stared him down.

“Marcus. Fulfill your destiny and you may survive this night!” Lucifer called out to him as he waved his hand and the battle resumed all around them.

I stood on black water. It had all changed in a blink of an eye. I tilted my head down and the water looked as if I would fall right through it and yet my feet felt perfectly secure as I stepped forward. I looked behind me and a long red train drug behind me,
