Prologue
*Inhale*
I took a deep breath and opened my eyes. The ground was a beautiful white color. My body felt warm and I wasn't hurt at all.
I lifted my head and saw a large stairway. It was golden and it lead up to a bright light.
I grabbed the railing of the stairway and began to climb the steps. There were quite a lot of them, I wonder what they were leading to.
I got to the top of the staircase and saw a man wearing a suit. It was a magnificent white suit and he had a jet black tie that tucked into it. There was an extremely large gate behind him.
I approached him and he looked up at me. He had a white beard and a million dollar smile.
"Hello my son, what is your name?" He asked.
"Uh... Spencer, Spencer Valentini." I said. I hated saying my last name with a burning passion.
The only time I liked to say my last name is when I said Monika's pretty name.
"Monika..." I thought in my mind. The thought of her made me feel a little sad inside.
The man looked at a long scroll of papers and then he grinned at me.
"Spencer, huh? You must be very important if she's been waiting for you." He said.
"Who's 'she?'"
The man let out a hearty laugh and grinned as he looked behind me. I turned behind me to see a woman running towards me.
"Spencer!" The woman yelled as she ran towards me. The woman was Odysseus.
She jumped on me for a big hug. I wrapped my arms around her and twirled her around.
"I-I know he would let you in heaven! I knew he would!" She chanted as I held her closely.
"Heaven? I'm in heaven...oh yeah I died. Wait doesn't that mean..." I thought in my head.
I let go of Odysseus and looked behind my back. There were a pair of pretty white wings.
"It...it feels so good to actually touch you...it feels so different when I touch you in your world." She said.
I laughed and looked back at the man. He waved his hand at the gate and it made a clank.
The gates opened slowly and Odysseus laced her fingers with mine. She began to lead my through the gate but I looked back at the man.
"E-Excuse me sir..." I said.
"Yes my son?" He said.
"Is... is there someone named Drew Westrich in here?" I asked.
The man looked closely at his list and then back at me.
"I-I'm sorry my child...I do not see his name on the list..." He said.
"C'mon Spencer...I want you to meet my dad." Odysseus said as she tugged on my arm.
Drew isn't in here...? Does that mean...oh no.
Me and Odysseus reached the end of a white platform that we were standing on and she looked over at me.
"Can you fly Spencey?" She said.
"F-Fly?!" I asked.
Odysseus began to giggle and she jumped off the white platform. Her wings spreaded in the air and she flapped them as she soared through the skies.
I looked around and saw other people here who also had wings. They flew around like it was nothing.
I jumped off the platform and moved my back muscles. The wings spread out like and eagle and I began to actually fly.
"You're getting the hang of it!" Odysseus called out. I flew next to her and she began to giggle.
"Follow me!" She said. She took a hard right towards a large cloud. I followed her to the cloud to see a large mansion sitting on top of it.
Odysseus and I landed on the cloud and she pointed at it.
"This is where my father lives. He really wants to meet you." She said.
"Oh God..." I said. I wouldn't know the irony of that joke until I actually met Odysseus's dad.
Me and her held hands as we walked into the mansion. Inside the mansion there was a red carpet with gold antiques and other arts on the walls.
She led me down a large hallway and opened the door at the very end. We walked into an office to see a heavenly figure sitting in the chair.
He was wearing a white suit similar to the man at the gate, but he had a pure white tie instead. Down his suit there were golden buttons the kept it close.
He looked up from the book he was reading and he scanned me up and down.
"Hello Spencer, good to see that my daughter is excited to see you." He said as he noticed that me and Odysseus were holding hands.
I let go of Odysseus's hand and reached it out to the man. The man took my hand and wrapped his other hand around it while he shook it.
"It's nice to meet you Spencer. I don't really have a name here. Some people call me 'God' but you can just call me pops, because that's what my daughter's call me." The man said while he let out a laugh.
"Thank you pops." I said.
Pops sat back down in his chair as he scanned me up and down.
"I really must thank you Spencer, I understand that my daughter, Crystalline, is quite a mischivious girl." He said.
"Don't mention it sir. I've met some new friends along the way."
"I suppose one of them was Odysseus? Thank you for keeping her out of trouble." He said.
"Daaaaaad." Odysseus said in a annoyed tone.
Pops let out a laugh at his cute daughter getting mad at him.
"Hey, so what actually happened to Crystalline?" I asked.
"Why she's stuck in her room until she figures out what she's done wrong." Pops said.
"So...she's grounded?" I asked.
"Of a sort, except she can't escape her room like she did last time."
Suddenly somebody busted through the door with a handful of papers. That person was Maricana.
"D-Dad! Crystalline escaped!" Maricana yelled.
"Has she infected someone yet?" Pops asked.
Odysseus looked over at me with concern.
"Ah shit..." I said softly.
"Watch your language son." Pops said to me.
"She's infected one person, but she's trying to infect more as we speak!" Maricana said.
"Who's the one already infected?" Pops asked.
"S...Spencer..." Odysseus said with hesitation in her voice.
Pops looked at me and smirked.
"It seems that his soul is strong enough to fight off the virus." Pops said.
"I've been through worse." I said while I chuckled.
Pops stood up from his table and grabbed my hand.
"Spencer I have something to ask of you." He said.
"What is it sir?" I asked.
"If what Maricana says is true, Crystalline is probably trying to resurrect the 7 deadly sins." Pops said.
"Oh my God." I said in horror.
"That's me, anyway I must ask you to prevent that from happening. I will return you to your home dimension as one of the 4 horseman of the apocalypse. In exchange for returning you home, you will defeat Crystalline once and for all."
"But dad...he's infected with Crystalline's third eye..." Maricana said.
"His soul is strong enough to control it, he can use it to his advantage." Pops said.
"Wait...is he...war?" Maricana asked.
Pops laughed and looked over at me.
"What do you say Spencer? Will you become the horseman of war?" He asked.
"Yes...yes sir." I said.
I shook pops hand and Odysseus looked over at me.
"Odysseus, I will need you to go with Spencer on this one." Pops said.
"Y-Yes father..." She said.
"Spencer..." Pops said.
"Yes sir?"
"Keep my daughter safe down there. Good luck, and I'll be with you."
Pops set his hand on my shoulder and my vision began to go away. It felt like I began to fall.
I began to regain consciousness and realized I was standing up. I fell backwards and looked in front of me.
There was...a headstone in front of me.
Similar to my dream, I was in front of Drew's headstone. This wasn't a dream though. I saw Odysseus sitting next to me, but her wings were missing.
She was...a human now.
I stood up to my feet in a hurry and reached my hand out to Odysseus. I pulled her to her feet.
"Odysseus, we need to hurry!" I said.
"O-Okay Spencer!" She said.
I began to pull her arm as we ran back to my car. A voice called my name behind me as we walked away.
"Spencer..." A male voice said.
I turned around and scanned the man up and down. The man...was Drew.
"Drew...?"
"Kept you waiting huh?"
