Dark forest 1/2

Running and out of breath, the stranger we grown to love is being chased by forces that wish to end his existences. As he continues to run through the forests of a unknown world. In another world a judge and jury stand trial for the stranger to be destroyed. But there to defend him is his wife and daughter plus death her self. They all play a role for him to live to prove he is good. But others see him as someone that interfere in peoples and even creatures timelines. They say he is something that should not continue to existence he has no timeline no end but by death. They look to death an ask why she let this go on for so long but she stands there silent.  It starts to thunder and lighting while raining hard as the stranger sidesteps the pursuers. He hides in a ditch near by as the angels and demons with elemental spirits searching for him walk pass.  At court the jury argues back and forth at the family about the stranger. The judge says enough both sides, next let us hear from the daughter of the sentenced being.  The daughter steps forth and starts to explain all the good her father has done for worlds. He has a endless list of deeds he has done for families, children with out houses given a chance to be someone with another family in other worlds, kingdoms turned from there end as they wanted more power, greed of money and land. Soldiers on the battle field living to see there wife's or mothers again and even some brought back to life because there life was end to soon because of someone's bad choice. The list goes on your honor, her mother steps up next and speaks of how he makes time to spend with those he thinks of as family or friends. He is a kind hearted man he would not even ask about your problems he would just take you in and help you with out asking for anything in return. He smiles and it brings any rainy days to  sunny ones. Back at the search for the stranger he goes to sneak away and breaks a stick with his foot he turns and takes three arrows located in his chest, leg, arm. He screams and tries to run and falls over. His inner guardians a Smokey being black as ash appears and a pure white armor being on all fours also comes to protect his way as they tell him to run. The stranger hops/runs to escape. The two guardians run at the hunters and fight to the point of death to protect there master with there dying breath. Next in the court room was death, as she stepped up the judge looked at her and said in a strong voice whatever you say in this court room is not going to change things because you are death. You have no rule here like everyone else this is a controlled ruling, no killing and no magic or powers. The stranger falls to his kneels and tries to breath in but the arrow stops him. He falls forward and the ground gives way. He falls though some old boards that the grass grow over and in to darkness.    

the sad wedding

A portal opens inside a church and out steps our stranger but he is not alone this time by his side is his beloved wife that helps him through the journey of his life as his role plays out. But the story here is not about him but as always he has a role. He climbs up onto the second floor and helps his love too up. They sit in the bends and wait for the people outside to come in and set up for the wedding. The groom speaks with his friends and family talking about how nervous he is. But he looks forward to his life as a good husband and father someday. As for his bride to be she is having other problems like cold feet. She is standing in the dressing room looking at her self. Tears begin to form. She sits down on the stair and cries. The stranger looks at his love and she goes to check on the bride. While he opens a portal and steps through to his world. A man stands in the studies of the strangers home. The man turns and asks how is she doing? The stranger just looks at him and the man sees that it is not going well. The man starts to speak of the past and how he want to see his little girl grow up and all. Years ago, him and his wife got a great deal on a house in the country. Him and his wife's passion burn like a never ending star and it gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. As years pass it was time for the first day of school and he saw that she was scared to go. He just smiled and kneel in front of her and held her tight. He said in a soft voice I will be here to get you and remember you are never alone I will be here forever sweetie. She wiped her tears and smiled and kissed her father goodbye. He would always help with her homework and play tea party with her and spend time with his love. Again time passes and she was old enough to ride a bike. He made sure that he held on so she did not fall and than let go to show she could ride by her self. Later his new job had him away from home a lot but he always manage to be there for her and her mother even around the holidays. Than one day, coming home there was a accident with a hit and run. It began to rain and he spend his last moments bleeding out. His mind was not on the pain but was on his family. He just smile and said that's my girl and in his mind he saw her playing in her room with her tea party and the favorite stuff animal of a zebra name Mr. hoops. As the pain of his passing when by his wife did a good job of rising her. But he was always there watching over her and his love. Through break ups, through arguments with her friends and mother but she always forgave them or them to her. Around every holiday she burn a candle for him to let him know she was always thinking of him. Now today was her big day because she found the one she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and rise a family just like her father did with her. But she wishes so badly for him to be there to see what a wonder women she grow into. The man looks at the stranger and says you where there that day I die were not you? The stranger nods and the man remembers the stranger coming over by the flip over car and sitting with him for his last moments. The man cries and sees that the stranger was the one that eases his pain with memories of his family and after closed his eyes. In the dressing room the mother comes in and try's to calm her down and shows her it is ok. It is her big day, so the time comes and everyone is seated. At the head of the church stood the groom waiting for his bride to show and the music starts to play. She walks slowly to the alter and is not alone for her mother is with. Than her mother takes her sit. The minster starts his words and at the back of the church stood the wife of the stranger. Than the stranger appears beside her. She asks is everything ready and he nods yes. She smiles and holds his arm tight. The stranger pats his heart and as the event goes on the bride starts to cry and the room gets quiet and she looks up and sees everyone is stopped in time. She says out loud what is going on? She looks down the hall that she walked up and sees the stranger and his wife staving at her. She asks who are you? The strangers beloved points to the left and the brides view changes to tears as she sees her father sitting in the last role of bends. He cries and stands up and walks towards her and says I am always here for you sweetie. She runs and holds him tight. He says I just wanted to say I love you and I am proud of you. Than he pats her on the head and says I have to go now but I will watch over you and mother so be good ok. He fades away and she is still at the alter. She cries but this time tears of joy. Her and her husband say there I do's and move on to live a happy life. As the car puts off she sees her father waving goodbye to her. The father turns and hugs the stranger and says thank you for my chance to see my baby girl again. The stranger shares a tear for him and opens a portal home for him and his beloved. As for the father he goes to fade and out of the church his wife walks but stops to see him one last time. She cries and smiles as he smiles at her.      

Old man on the back porch

Up in heaven a old women  looks down upon the world and sees far off in the woods of the back roads of the country. A house that a old man of the age of 65 year old sits smoking on the porch thinking. But a mile far into the woods a portal opens and our stranger steps forth out on to the grounds of the world of earth.  Night comes and the old man sits in his chair watching TV. Laughing at the shows but turns to look at the empty chair five feet from his. He looks sad and turns off the TV and leaves. He walks up stairs and passes a door to a room filled with memories of a happier time. In the woods the stranger stands looking to the direction of the house. He waves his hand and a stump grows for him to sit and listen to the worlds cries. Mother nature grants him a fire to fight off the cold of the night. As he sits, a time passes and screams are heard from the house. For the old man has awaken from his sleep crying out for his wife that was taken from him to soon. The stranger takes a deep breath and continues to sit by the fire. The old man gets up and goes to the room of his late wife and looks at the old pictures of the weddings and birth of children. but by the door stood the stranger watching him. Tears hit the books of his wood working  project he was setting out to do for his wife when he retire from being a metalworker at the factory. He walks to the bedroom and looks at the closet and sees her clothes. She loved to sit an read and she use to sew his clothes when he torn them. She was a women he want to grow old with and die beside. He walks out side and sees the flower garden has been die since the year she passed which was 15 years ago. He falls to his kneels crying and remembers  her suffering at the hospital. She held tight to his hand in the room. As he try to comfort her by saying she would be fine. That the doctors would help her get better. He could not stop crying. She just smile and saw how much she meant to him. She said in a soft voice it will be ok my love no wrongs just look at me. But he could not for he was scared to have that image in his mind of the last time he would see her. She closed her eyes and her grip loosen. He looks up and is paralyzed with fear. Behind him was the stranger but no one could see him not even the old man. The doctors and nurses come in and take her away from the old man. He says all she wanted was for him to look at her.  The stranger pats the old man on the back but he don't feel it and the stranger walks away. Back to the present, the old man sits on the back porch smoking his pipe and out in the woods still sits the stranger. The old man goes to the shed and gets rope and tires it to the tree and tires to hang his self. As he jumps off a log he hangs. But in the woods the stranger snaps his fingers and the rope breaks releasing the old man from death. He looks up  to see the rope is broke. He goes in to the house and garbs a gun and tires again to end it. But the stranger again snaps his fingers and the gun checks but nothing happens. Next the old man sets fire to the house of his and his wife. He sits in the chair while the fire builds around him. The stranger stands and sees it is time. He snaps his fingers one last time and the flames do not engulf the old man. The house just burns down around him. He lives but starts to curse god for not letting him die to see his wife he misses so much. He hears a noise come from the woods and he garbs his gun. Scared that the reaper is coming to take his soul for cursing gods name and take him to hell. He fires all five shots from his revolver but silences  comes and than boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It is like the rest of the world when quiet and you could hear the bullets drop one by one to the ground with the metal sounding off. The stranger appears and walks over and looks at the old man. The old man shakes and asks is he the reaper or the devil. But the stranger just shakes his head no to both questions. The stranger rises his hand and  points to the old mans heart and than to the tree he try to hang from. The old man walks over to the tree and sees a metal tin in the dirt. He wipes it off and opens it to see a photo of him and his love as children growing up he flips it over and sees the date and his wife wrote my future husband. To my love this is my favorite picture. I want to be with you forever. The old man cries out but his heart starts to hurt and he turns to see the stranger near him. The stranger kneels in front of him and he points again to old mans heart and than to the heavens. The old man smiles for he can see his wife's  face. He can finally look at her like she wanted. The stranger reaches out to the old man and closes his eyes for him to rest forever, he than pats him on the shoulder. He than stands and walks over to the flowers and touches the ground around them and the flowers begin life a new. He looks up to the sky and sees a shooting star fly by. The old man was with his wife finally to be happy once more. The stranger takes his leave through the woods. Above the old mans body was a heart cut into the tree of his name and his wife's

Soldier of the living

A old man sitting in a wheel chair. Stares out his old folks  home window. He is not thinking about family that does not visit or the world outside and where it is going. No just of the past and friends he lost in the war. As day turns to night. He still watches the outside world moving on. He falls asleep for a couple of hours to only be a waken by tapping on the window. He opens his eyes to see a cloaked figure with a hood staring at him on the other side of the glass. But he does not scream because the man staring at him is kind. How does he know this well the strangers eyes are like yellow sad wolf  eyes. The stranger reaches through the glass with out shattering it and touches the mans cheek. Boom they are transported to his last fight in the war. The old man relives the moments of his finest hours of fighting the enemies. But also the horrors of losing friends. As the old man watches, He looks at the stranger and asks Why as the bullets fly by and the bomb shells fall and explode killing both sides. The stranger waves his hand left to right. The past stops and he looks at the old man and shares a tear for him. The old man turns and see his younger self burring his team. The young man falls to his kneels looking at the 16 graves. He keeps saying to his self I try to save them over and over. The old man walks over and falls to his kneels beside the younger version of him self. Both cry and the stranger feels a hand on his should of his master telling him it is time to go. The old man reaches out and touches the young mans shoulder and says you lived for them so they did not die in vain. The young man says thank you and fades away. The old man feels hands on his shoulders. He looks to see his friends smiling and saying welcome home brother. The war torn field fades away and heaven comes to in sight. Back at the old folks home the stranger stands be side the old man that passed on. He pats him on the shoulder and says you did good. Mission complete time to go home. The stranger turns to see a nurse and he fades away in front of them

The one that got away

 As you stand out there letting the rain hit your body. Like angels weeping tears from heaven. You are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I fall to my kneels and cry out for you. I go to reach out to you but you do not hear me. As I begin run towards you I fall in to darkness. I take one last look and I see you smile at me with tears rolling down your face. On the oth...er side I land on a large clock face with the time tick tick ticking away. I look up only to see you looking down on me for you have locked me away. Like the black widow catches its prey. But I do not fight for in my heart I only want to be apart of you. Now around me begin to appear hooded figures that dress me proper. For now I am apart of the line to protect you. Around me is my brothers and sisters step back or away. The clock strikes 12 and the bell sounds. You begin to step down and your clothes change to a white dress. Now you reach for me and I try to move but can't for on my shoulder was a skeleton hand of deaths and he shakes his head telling me it is not time. I awaken on a bend and stand. I more on my marry way to find you again.

The shadow man

But his son was 5 year old not knowing what was going on. The man kneels be side the son and the son sees him but not as his father but a shadow man. The young boy says what is going on? An the shadow man reply's someday you will understand so for now be a good boy and look after your mother. The shadow man fades and back to the ally he goes. As he stands there again he reaches out towards the light but only for his hand to turn to dust. He cries out but no one walking by can hear him or see him. The man says in a soft voice forgive me and look after my family please God. The man runs at the light and destroys his self. Far off on a roof top stood a figure that just shakes his head. He stands and walks through a portal only to tell his master that he failed to save the man. May God give him mercy

The broken man

 He just sits there on his throne lost in sadness of the past. He tires to understand the purpose of all this that has happen. Flashes of memories come back now of a simple time of friends that had your back and the same hopes. Love ones of wife's and daughters gathering around to hear stories. He says in a hopeless voice it is all gone and I can't bring them back. He stands an takes his sword. He than walks out of the great hall. Now for this warrior it is for you to decide what happens. honor or death?
