Asher Gwynn POV
I watched as the world before me distorted into an abyss. A Crack in the sky opening up its maw to devour all living creatures in the land. In this world I was reborn as the YinYang Saint. The world was a typical eastern fantasy worlds. On the day of my birth both death and life qi exploded from my tiny body sending Shockwave throughout the world. I was born to the fox-kin tribe. My fur as white as snow with pitch tipped ears and tails. Yes tails. I have nine of them. I am a Saint after all.
My birth caused a stir, not just within the tribes and clans. No within the whole of this world. I was claimed as a Saint by both the gods of life and death. I was the first YinYang Saint in over a thousand years. Of course because I wasn't OP enough the gods made me an Omega. Upon my Omega Manifestation my YInYang evolved into pure darkness and pure light. Sure there are draw backs to being a male Omega Saint but herbs and magic made those drawbacks stupidly easy to manage.
Yeah, I was a fucking enigma. I was both, yet, neither at the same time. I was truly over powered with the abilities to heal and kill, yet when the cracks came I was also the only on able to snuff out the maddness. Which means I lost many of my friend and family to Madness because I couldnt be everywhere at omce.
For 19 years I have lived in this world, I have loved the world and its people. With low tech and high fantasy, it was everything I had dreamed of and desired, after my previous death. The last 3 years I have fought side by side with high grade fighters and mages against the Abyssal god and his monstrous minions.
The portal in front of me was of the highest grade. A black portal, no doubt certain death awaits many there. If we can not defeat it then...this world I love will be gone. For good.
"You ready for this kid?" I looked up at Tang Forh. The grizzly old alpha had been with me my entire life. He was my first guard and teacher.
"Tang, whether I'm ready or not doesn't matter. We must stop this. Look..." I pointed to our forces, our Cavalier numbers were so small compared to three years ago. It wrenched something deep in my heart. I knew...this would be the last time I would see this home. "We are all that is left. The tattered remnants of the beast king tribes, a handful of elves, and the Divine Knights. Our land has been either destroyed or corrupted and only Elysium still survives. Yet we must end this so that our land can thrive once again." While I was speaking Haver and Lance arrived. The illusionist Lance of the fox kin tribe also he was my kid brother, looked at me with no words, but a sad knowing in his eyes. Haver , my kid brothers partner, on the other hand, the boisterous elf looked geared up for battle.
"We'll destroy it once and for all!" He yelled, and I smiled.
"You will win" I said aloud, then to myself 'my sacrifice will make sure of it'
"Let's go!" I gathered the light around me to carry me towards the black inky portal.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I was alone, it was darkness surrounded by a suffocating fog.
"Tang!" I whispered, easily taking control of the shadows. I spread my essence easily, searching for my team and their mana pulses. Yet I couldn't find them. I couldn't find anything. No monsters, no mana, no life, nor death. I felt NOTHING.
I took a moment to gather my wits about me. I rubbed my hand on my leather breeches, the feel of the cool material under my hands keeping me planted firmly in the present. I took slow calming breaths to calm my panic.
It has been a very long time since I was unable to feel mana around me. I started worrying for Lance and Haver, they were the last of my family. I could go on for them...but if I lost them too. I released a heavy sigh. Pushing down the rising panic that being alone always caused. Trauma from my previous life still reared its ugly head from time to time.
I began to walk, basically completely blind to my surrounding. My eye sight was of no use due to the fog and the sheer nothingness made using my light and dark powers moot. I don't know for how long I trudged along when I felt a flicker. A minute flicker of mana was coming from ahead. Using Light I was able to create wings of light. Increasing my speed. My body flew towards the mana. That faint flickering grew strong and stronger as I could feel the massive battle ahead.
I burst forth onto the field of battle in a blaze of light. Hoovering above to take in the sights. Beneath me hundreds of humans fought a terrifying dragon. One that had long ago disappeared in the original portal wave. Coerthas. That dry scholarly lecturer had actually survived. He was corrupted but I could still see purity in his dragon heart stone. I could purify him! Ugh, and I'll have to purify the humans too. Most of them have toxic levels of corruption built up.
Pop. Pop. Pop.
I froze, sharply looking down at the humans. No sign of fluffy ears or tails. Then another pop and a bullet wizard by me. Wait pretty sure I look human-ish. These buckets are shooting at me? Really? Who the fuck doesnt recognize the Saint?
"You fucking morons. I'm on your side. See this is why humans suck!"
With a wave of my hand I surrounded myself in a thick shield of darkness. I didn't have time to figure out why Coerthas managed to survive in the portal realm for so long but I had to save him. Humans be damned.
Thankfully most of my power was still full. I used the darkness amd light surrounding me to move until I stood on Coerthas' snout. I held out both hands to him and cried out "PURIFY"
'Heh, should I show off to these silly humans what their Saint is truly capable of?' As the light of purification burst out of my body, a rather disturbing thought entered.
'Wait, humans don't have guns in my world...did I just cross a space time portal? What about Tang, Lance, and Haver. They would be hunted down in a Earth like world' From my memories humans treated anyone and anything different with oppression and abuse. The panic started to rise again, at the same time my power was depleting rapidly. My power only drained if there were seriously high level super fighters or mages with high levels of corruption. I felt my body falling as Coerthas was purified and shrank into his elvish looking form. My surroundings were blurry as I fell.
"Tang!" I'd known this Alpha scent anywhere. It always smelled like an untamed forest after a heavy rain. With my blurry vision I couldn't make out his features but I reach out to touch his ears. "Thank gods your safe. Tang..I over did it. Please dont lecture me to bad."
With my final worlds, I fell unconscious.
