"Does it matter, young one?"
"Well no but it would be nice to know."
"You know He has a reason for everything, young one, and one thing we all learn is never to question the Higher Authority."
"All right Saradim whatever you say. You've been here longer."
"That's my angel. Now since you've left your message, are you ready to begin?"
"As ready as I'll ever be." Over the next month, I was trained to fight and was taught how to use my powers. Finally I was told who I was up against. "RYAN WOLD???!!!"
"Yep."
"I didn't think he was a fan. Especially after CO-OP…ugh."
"You'd be surprised. He wanted to marry you while you were alive."
"Ewww…"
"Yeah well there are a couple of things you need to know. First, he's gotten a lot stronger over time and second, even if you reveal yourself to him, he won't stop. He's blind to anything other than revenge. We've tried to turn things around so this wouldn't happen. But it didn't work. Shandago has consumed him completely. You have no choice but to fight him."
"Oh great. Just what I needed to hear."
"Don't worry angel. You won't be hurt."
"What?"
"The Supernatural has made to where you will be protected while protecting your friends and defeating Ryan."
"That's good to know."
"You're telling me. I don't plan on losing you five minutes after I let you go."
"Hey!"
"Sorry. Also I'll be around if you need me."
"Goody. I'll need a shoulder to cry on at the end of the day."
"Cute. Well we've covered everything you need to know. Now we need to get you anointed by the Supernatural."
"Wh-what? The Supernatural is going to anoint me?"
"Yep. Come on." Shaking, I followed Saradim to the Throne. When we got there all I could see was bright white light…then I heard the voice.
"Ah Kat. Glad you made it. Are you ready?"
"Not really. But if You and Saradim think I am, I must be."
"Shield your eyes." That was the only warning I got before the bright light consumed me. I don't remember how long it took but Saradim said it wasn't long. The next thing I knew, I heard the Supernatural saying, "Good luck Kat. Saradim and I will always be with you."
Looking around I found that I was in an arena set up for a concert and that I was floating above the stage. I heard whistling below me so I looked down and saw Shane. "Shane! Shane look up!…What am I wearing?!" When I looked down I for the first time noticed my funky ninja outfit.
"What I gave you to wear. Duh!"
"Oh yeah! Right. Okay--" I stopped to the sound of moving fabric behind the instruments. Shane heard it too and started calling for whoever was there. Then I heard something Shane didn't. Footsteps going up the ladder to the catwalk. I floated up to the catwalk and saw what I expected.
"Ryan…" As I watched, he took out a pair of scissors and began cutting the rope to a sandbag…a sandbag directly over Shane. "Go, Kat, go!" (AN: Ouch that was a bad pun.) I stepped through the wall dividing the real world and the eternal world and headed for Shane. I heard the snap! of the rope just before I knocked Shane out of the way. We hit the floor just in time to hear the sandbag crash through the stage floor. He opened his eyes and I looked into them just long enough. Then I rolled over and back through the wall into the eternal world.
