Awaken the Gods Themselves… (Part 2)

*** Talk to you later. I will try to get Ben to write tomorrow! He has a nice Eskimo girl that seems to not care that he is a Zombie and Ben thinks she is cute. So he is rather occupied at the moment… ***

Hello,

This is Ben and you all know how much I hate writing. So only because everyone has asked and I don’t want to keep you all in the dark. I will tell you some of what I know…

As Stryker stated already and made it clear that I was in a bad mood and not communicating to anyone. I was listening to the chants and watching the Eskimo’s do their thing. I also had dreams of Dogg playing in a green grass field of long grass waving in the breeze. The next thing I knew, I was in the field with Dogg and all the Eskimo’s and we were trapped in the green field of grass. We all looked at each other and then we realized that the sky was like a very faded movie screen and we could see Stryker walking around amongst all of us as we lay immobile on the snow…

Then after Stryker talked to the Old Eskimo, the old Eskimo appeared with us also and we all stood silently in the field of green grass waving in the breeze. Dogg was with us and he started to whine and bark when he saw Stryker in the sky…

We all seemed frozen as we watched the movies unfold above us and we really had no idea if it was real or not. Now I will say that Stryker has a tendency to underestimate what he does. He never brags about his powers and makes it out as if he is just lucky. I am going to break that bubble we all live in, because Stryker tells most of the stories. Stryker did a hundred times what he talked about to this god/devil being and it was a battle that stunned us as we watched. The Old Eskimo started to chant some words and the rest followed him in his chanting. It seemed that the chanting floated with the breeze that stirred the grass and made the grass dance with the chanting song they sang…

Stryker battled for 20 minutes and you could tell that the immortal being had the advantage in one fact only. He could not die, but Stryker could die…

I do not want to upset Stryker by telling you all that happened because he chose to leave a lot out. So lets just say that at the point that Stryker was hanging on to his sword for dear life and twisting it as the immortal tried to kill him was at the end of a bloody viscous battle that saw Stryker dripping blood like a sieve onto the white snow and a immortal that knew he won, but only, because he was immortal, for if he was human Stryker would have killed him 10 fold times…

Dogg snapped out of his watching this battle as he saw Stryker getting ready to be killed at the hands of the immortal and then Dogg disappeared, from the field of dancing green grass…

I saw Dogg appear at the spot that the totem pole piece of the Dog disappeared into the snow. It obviously turned to Dogg himself. Then Dogg growled at the immortal being. That is when timed stood for me – still and I frantically looked around at how to get back to help Stryker and Dogg. It was if we all woke up…

Strykers eyes glanced at the place that my body was laying in the snow and I saw his eyes lock upon my eyes as I lay looking into the sky. Then I knew I had to do something and I used that image in my mind and sank myself into those eyes that I looked at on the ground of earth. I was not sure exactly what to do but it worked and I woke up. I walked behind the immortal and with sword in hand drove it through the immortal. Then I realized that I had stabbed Stryker also. I really felt bad. I figured that I had just killed Stryker when everyone else had failed. I heard Stryker scream as the blade came out of his chest and the immortal slugged Stryker as hard as he could. It was lights out for Stryker. I knew that I had caused this by the shock attack on the immortal. I also knew that I would die trying to stop this being of the devil himself…

As the god/devil turned to face me. I realized that he had forgotten about Dogg and Dogg being one to take advantage of being forgotten about. Dogg bit into the totem pole that had the human, feline, bear and wolf on it. The dog part missing of course…

A explosion of light blinded all who were around, including the immortal. I was knocked to the ground as something took over my body and I have to say it hurt. Even for a Zombie it hurt. When the light effects faded. I found myself standing with a bear, wolf, eagle and huge tiger and of course Dogg. I had a sword of pure silver in my hands and as I looked at myself in the reflection in the shield I carried. I realized that we are not in Kansas any more, Dorthy… (You have to understand the Wizard of Oz to know what I ma talking about!)

Then as we started to attack the immortal in front of us. 40 or 50 Eskimo’s beat us to the attack. All of the Eskimo’s including the old man ran up too the giant of a god/devil being and proceeded to attack with no mercy. Before we could responded the immortal had slaughtered half the group and dead and dying lay all around as quick as blinking your eyes. I looked at Stryker laying in the snow as lifeless as anyone could be. I could see no breath steam coming from his nose and he was blue in color…

Dogg broke the silence with a deep growl and sprang upon the immortal. That is when it got interesting…

5 more immortals appeared next to the immortal fighting for his life against Dogg. I took one of them as the bear, the wolf, the feline and eagle took the other 4. The battled lasted about 10 minutes, with neither side gaining an advantage and it seemed that we were good against evil…

I won’t express what happened because I was not in complete control of myself. As you may have surmised, I was under the control of another immortal…

But I do remember hearing Stryker…

Stryker said in a low and barely audible voice, “Leave this planet you evil immortal scum or die at the hands of Ares!” I turned and realized that the god of war had appeared before us. Or was he (Stryker) the god of war all the time. He waved his arm across the land around us and all the dead got up as if nothing happened and proceeded to get in place to attack again…

I then realized that this was Hades himself and he was trying to alter the fate of the planet earth, to his favor. Then as 5 more brethren of Hades appeared. That is when a circle of gods of maybe 30 surrounded all of us and everything got very silent. You could have heard a pin drop…

Then everyone but Hades and Stryker were told to leave the circle. When there was only those two left in the middle of the circle we made around them. Someone with much power, whom I assume was Zeus? Told the two (Stryker and Hades) to fight and who wins, gets to continue their path in the world…

Can this be true?

I am just telling you what I experienced and saw. Crazy huh?

Zeus? was one bad-ass powerful dude and none of us could attempt to go against his wishes…

As I said before Stryker did much more than he understands and now the fate of the planet hung in balance on this one fight…

After about 10 minutes of fighting between the two foes, Stryker said, “I am done playing and if you want to live to try to control the earth in the future then go back where you came from in the depths of the earth!”

Hades said, “Puny man you will die and after I kill you I will slit you Dog’s throat and impale your Zombie on the highest pole for the crows to eat him a little bit each day until he rots away…”

Sryker stepped toward the immortal and I saw that he had a large splinter of wood that was left of the totem pole in his hand. I knew that totem pole had power and I suspected what Stryker was up to…

As they clashed together, the immortal grabbed Stryker and held him at eye level and said, “Your last breath is now!” Stryker said,”Maybe, but your last thought goes with my last breath!”…

Then as Hades crushed Stryker with all his might! Stryker drove the large splinter up through the lower jaw of Hades and into the brain of Hades. About and inch stuck out from below Hades chin and Stryker with his last strength. Slammed the splinter and it appeared out the top of Hades head…

Silence and a shocked look appeared on Hades face. Then the splinter being of saint wood and totem pole power. Exploded with a tremendous violent flash of light and both Stryker and Hades fell to the ground in a heap…

Then we all fell to the ground in a deep sleep and as I went to sleep, Krotos (a great hunter and musician who kept the company of the Muses on Mount Helicon) the deity that possessed my body told me, “I am Krotos and have used your body for this short time. I have healed you and given you some extra tools to help you in you fight for earth. Sleep and when you wake all will be clear as to the path you must take!”

When we woke all was back to normal or at least as much as back to normal as it could be. The only thing is that Dogg is gone again and Stryker has changed. He radiates power now. I mean he is scary to stand near. He has such a strength about him now that I think that the god of war is staying in him…

Also all the Eskimo’s are talking about the information they were told as they went to sleep like I was. We each was told different things and after we all put it together we have an idea of what the world is all about now…

Like I said Stryker does not tell all to you guys and I refuse to tell all at this point also, but the Old Eskimo is going to talk to us about the future and he said that we must follow what he says. For the beacon of the gods has told him what is to be done…

Good, has been given a chance to save the earth from what is happening and our mission must continue as it was originally planned…

So next up is going to be what the Old Eskimo has said to us…

I going to go and sorry if I left more questions than answers, but hey, I got plenty of questions also and I do not seem to get any proper answers. All I know is that I just went through a hell of a crazy last few days and I saw things happen that I thought were only stories in books. But then I am a Zombie so I guess I should believe anything can happen – right?

Stryker says after he reads over what I wrote, he will try to write again, maybe tomorrow…

We are trying to find Dogg and the Old Eskimo says that we should not worry. I gotta go I just heard a puppy bark outside?
