Here begins PART SIX - The Apocalypse
You wake with a start. The smell of freshly polished woodwork hits your nose and you smile. You remember this smell... it is the smell of your home... are you dreaming? You open your eyes and see your fine oak bedroom. Your smile grows even wider. You ARE home!
But how is this possible? the last thing you remember is being on the Kingston in uncharted waters... how did you get back here to Port Town?
You here a lady singing to herself in one of the many rooms downstaris and realise that it is your maid...

Is this my house? Yes it is! What the devil am I doing back here?
In a sence I am releived. It has been a lnog time since I slept in my bed. But this is impossible! It is just not logical for me to be here!

I hear noises from one of the many rooms downstairs. It must be my maid. Perhaps she can help me. Maybe I knocked my head and have been dreaming of all these last few months.

I got up, pulled on some clothes, and left my room. I headed down the stairs until I came face to face with my maid.

"What am I donig here?" I asked her...

"Oh my! Senior Cander! You out of bed early!"

My my my. Must work faster. Must keep house clean and tidy for Senior Cander. Wait... he ask me question no?

"You not well Senior Cander!" my reply, "you... er... what the word?... you... delirious no? You memory gone... away! You memory gone away yes!"

Rush over to Senior Cander. Straighten his jacket and tie.

"You come two sunsets ago... very ill. Yes you very ill! You... what the word?... you sweating! You sweating yes? You remember no? I put you to bed. You memory gone away!"

"Of course I don't remember what happened to me you stupid woman!" I scowled. Although María was a very good maid, I found her to be a very dim lady.

I pushed past her went into my main room. Things had moved! My furniture had moved around!

"María!" I shouted, "what have you been doing to my room?"

I then rushed over to my cabinet and unlocked it. Opening the main draw I staggered back in horror. My work was gone! All of the drafts for my current book were missing! I almost passed out with the shock!

"What has happened to my work?" I growled, "do you know how much time and effort I put into that work? And now it is gone! That means someone else could copy my book!"

"Senoir Cander! I know not where work gone! I know not! I speak truth senoir!"

My my my! Senoir Cander more grumpy then usual! Senoir Cander must woke up wrong side of bed and bump head!

"I no touch work! You memory gone away yes? Maybe you move own work no?"

Thinking maybe someone did take work... remember visitor to mansion... he come by looking for Senoir Cander. I find him in this room. Maybe he took work?

"Oh Senoir Cander! Senoir Cander! Man come here two month ago. He snoot around room. Maybe he took work!"

"WHAT?!?!?!" I yelled.

I stomped over to Maria and put my face very close to hers.

"WHAT?!?!?!? You allowed some man to take my work?" I was fuming. It was a rage like no other rage I had felt before. It was strange. As I got angrier I felt myself becoming stronger. It must have been a side effect of turning into a vampire on Devil Island. Perhaps a little bit of the vampire blood was still inside me.

"Tell me who this man waS?" I demanded...

Oh my oh my oh my! Senior Cander very very angry! He always angry but never this angry before no!

"I not know I not know!"

I try to remember... he did say name to me yes? Think María think! He come over... he ask for Senoir Cander... he introduce himself...

"My my my, Senior Cander I remember I remember! He say his name Mr. Scowld. Yes yes, Mr Scowld! I did good yes?"

"SCOWLD!" I yelled, "SCOWLD?! Why the cheating lying back stabbing two faced bastard!"

I paced up and down the room punching things that got in my way. Maria backed off against one of the walls.

"You know what he's gonig to do don't you?!" I shouted, "He's going to steal my idea! He's going to release a novel... MY novel! And he'll get all the praise and the money from it! Well I don't intend to let him!"

I grabbed my cane and plonked my hat on my head.

"Come now Maria," I said, "we shall go and see Mr Scowld and get my notes back from him! He WILL NOT get away with this!"

I grabbed Maria's hand and we left my grand house and headed deeper into Port Town....

(Contiuned from top of the signal tower)

The flames extinguished as I smashed through the roof. A mixture of materials scattered at my feet, wood and brick, and dust coughed into the dry air. My body was covered in black burn marks and my flesh had almost melted. But there was no pain.

"I do not know what you have done to me Lones," I said to myself aloud, "but you have done something. We could have been a powerful and potent force together."

I stopped my rambling and stood. "What now Vestar?" I asked myself, "you have betrayed everything, even the Dark Gods. What can I do now? I was sent here to help Korg after we dealt the Axe over to him, because the more souls we have in Lunea the more powerfull we become." I stopped in my thoughts, I really was stumbled, there was no where I could go or run. Then suddenly tears ran down my cheeks, "I now realise my bad ways I want ot change!" anger struck my voice, "I want to CHANGE! What have I become, I've betrayed everything I stood for. I am not whole, I stand here a flawed person." I had cheated my way out of everything, and now I regretted every last move.

"Lord help me! I cannot change!" I crashed to my knees and wept tears of anger, shame and self pity. I cried in the silence of the house, flames still crackled well above in the signal tower.

(continued form signal tower)

I smashed through the roof and landed on the floor of the Cnader residence. The wind was knocked out of me and my hair was singed from the flames.
Even though I was the son of a God I was not invincible. Pain wrecked through my body. Perhaps jumping from the Signal Tower was a bad move.

Then I saw him... Vestar... he was crying. He stepped over to me.

I tried to move and raise my sword but I was in too much pain. I was ready.. ready for Vestar to finally finish me off. I had no fear of death for I knew that I would be with my father.

"End this if you must!" I said to Vestar...
