Chapter 9 - The Devil is a smooth operator.(South of Heaven)

The last thing Patrick remembered was the sound of his neck breaking. Then he woke up here , in this Monastery on a slab of cold stone. A audit was waiting for Patrick. When he gaind consensus the audit begain talking, or pontificating. The audit was a small pillar. It resembled a speaker. This Monastery is ancient, it has beautiful stone work and fine mosaics. It was designed like a "Y" in shape . A massive cider tree grew in the court yard in the valley of the "Y" , you Patrick are at the other end. Stain glass windows adorn the Monastery walls . They depicted a story. The Rise of a Horsemen. The First Horsemen and now The Second Horsemen. The first horsemen's story was told in the Stain glass, The second has not finished yet. Nor the third ,but the fourth has been finished for millenia. It was a very sad story In deed.

Patrick didn't care about that. he wanted to get moving . He felt exposed and had to leave a shit. Voices were in his head , faint voices like a whisper in the wind. Giving him instructions. The audit began agin , God ordered the Horsemen to come to be, they are part of the seven seals , The Apocalypse . Second coming of the Conquer. The rapture.

But The devil holds the sword that the second horsemen must weild. ELIMINATOR. A powerful two handed broad sword. Also called a Clamore , or in the east a Katana. A Simitar in Arabia . They are all the same sword. The problem is , The big D has it , him being the Big D. You just can't stroll on in, ask ask nicely for it. The Big D takes the choosing of the Horsemen very seriously, it's been two thousand years since the first Horsemen was chosen. It took three days in hell for him to win and ride out of Hell on a white horse, carrying the great long bow, Opressor, and it's quiver. The Carpenter had his hands full , not much is known, the watered down version is he was tempted over and over and never gave in . That's about ten percent of the truth. But we will never know , because neither side will say . Or wrote it down. But the rumor mill has its own theory of what happened during them three days . Its a fucking dusoy too. But thats a different story , this is about the second Horsemen , not the first. The Monastery was built on a mound deep in the graveyard. The Cemetery of Lost souls. Is its proper Name. We are here in the middle on a mound , in the Monastery , we need to get to Whishbone Castle . Where the Eliminator is held in keeping by Big D. But it's not that easy , the Castle can be seen on the Horizon , but its constantly shifting, we can never guess where it well be , we have to go through the Cemetery Gates. The Gates are guarded. By hand picked Demons and command by one of Big D's many Sons. That's something for future Patrick , you first need to arm yourself and and gather Armor. WARTORN and WARSEND , with WAGEWAR This set of Armor is called the WARMONGER SET. It well give you a fighting chance. You can choose any weapon to use until receiving the Eliminator. Most Canidets choose a weapon there are most comfortable and used to. In the end it well be the two handed broad sword. As the Horsemen's weapon. The Cemetery updates it cashes with the memories of every Canidet. No different then this one. Except one crucial difference , Automatic weapons, Artillery, and a plethora of other small arms and explosives. This time in War must be one if the worst in history . Such weapons are so powerful, only a Horsemen's weapon can out perform them. So Canidet are you ready to start the trials and tribulations of the Horsemen?? There is no refusing , I just ask that to be generous. I cannot move , but you can come back here from time to time and update or gather information on the Cemetery , it holds many secrets and of course the Warmonger Armor set. . I well say this Canidet. I say it to all who have come here, seek and destroy. It is a unique weapon somewhere In The Cemetery its only know because it used to belong to Death and he tossed it in here millennia ago. If you happen to find, Seek and Distroy , you could easily finish the trials and tribulations. And claim the word of God WAR.

its just a pice of information, Noone has ever even seen the weapon . So don't spend eternity looking for it and miss out on all that heavenly glory.

If you need a place to start , candidate. Look for the WARMONGER ARMOR SET.

WAGEWAR, WARSEND AND WARTORN. With out it you stand no chance of even leaving the Cemetery let alone reaching Wishbone Castle. Are you ready Canidet? To began your Rise? Patrick had been laying there on the cold slab of stone for the last ten minutes , he was pinned to it , couldn't move YES YOU FUCKING BIG WASTE OF TIME! I NEED TO SHIT! Hollered Patrick. Oh my i forgot to release you , here i well do it now. A ping noise echoed through the Monastery. Patrick was free to move around. About time, where is the head? He asked. Up the hall on the right about two thirds the way down. Hehe the audit chuckled, get it two thirds. Thirds , Patrick ignores him and waddle down the hall. Of the right under the stain glass were all these containers. Hundreds of them . After I'm done taking a dump I'll ask the professor about them , he thought to himself. The audit begaing to explain about the containers. As you might have noticed , along the wall there are eight hundred and twenty four funeral containers. They hold the ashes of the previous Canidets who failed the trial and tribulations. Patrick stopped before entering the head , did you read my mind?

HA , cool if i did the audit retorted. Patrick smiled and half smile and entered the head . It was twenty minutes later when he exited the head . What are the three sea shells in there? I couldn't find any toilet paper. I had to use my socks . The audit giggled yes well those seem to stump everyone. So don't feel bad. I dont feel bad , professor. I just would like to know what them sea shells are? There is written directions on the sink counters, it explains the use of the three sea shells. Moving on, candidates are encouraged to spend a day or two here in the Monastery to gather information as will as take a orientation tour with me. I'll pass said Patrick . The WARMONGER ARMOR is it absolutely nessary for me to obtain them? Also is there a armory near by? Yes on both queries Canidet. You cannot reach Wishbone Castle with out the Armor. It possess certain attribute enhancements that allow you to pass through the Cemetery Gates. You cannot pass through without the Armor. Secondly on the right wing of this Monastery is a Armory and a weapons depot. It's stocked with common to rare goods. It's a good place to start and prepare for the trials and tribulations that lay ahead of you. I'm not permitted to leave this Monastery so if any questions arise , you can always return and I'll do my best to answer your quarries. One last word of advice , brute strength and might alone well not guarantee you victory, to have a chance at being a Horsemen. Creativity and boldness is required. If you find your stuck, look up to find yourself a way out. OK Dude? The audit said . DUDE? Patrick said , do i look like a DUDE TO YOU? No sorry, it was a slipup a failed bonding attempt. What does DUDE mean anyway. Patrick asked. It's a term of endearment I was told by the last caddy. He was a remarkable man . He was a wizard with his Winchester 73. 45 long rifle. I miss our conversations about the repercussions of procrastination during his trial. He was a hard working cowboy. Bow legged as a whip. His funeral canister is right there , second from the left. The open space is reserved for you Canidet. I pray it never has to be used. An American then ah? A Real life cowboy ? Yes a Cowboy ,indeed.. a special breed of cowboy, a relic of the old west and a fossil. He had talent but no love of war. He was doomed at the onset. A desperado out jumping fences. Patrick had ignored the rambling of the audit . He went struggling to the armory . Standing in front of the entery for the armory Patrick was stunned. It was absolutely amazing. Full plate armor sets, Japanese Samuri Full Edo sets, Ming Dynasty full leather light armor. Chain mail, in vering different styles. The Tridtional Ring Chain mail and the newer Diamond Chain mail. As the time went on the less and less armor was used. Up to The Great War . Where it was just a helmet,and cloth uniform. Long gone was the blue hardened armor of the midevil age. There were also one off sets , full Bronze 30 kilo Sparten Armor. Light calvery , Mongol leather and paper armor. It was a magnificent collection of armor set and history of warfare right in front of him. A tear ofJoy ran down his leg, as he had a raging Stiffy. Patrick limped around the armory. Stoping at a armor set ,three pice set , Do,Sode,Suneate, the Helm & Boots was missing it was very Eastern and looked cool. Patrick tried the set on . The Dō or brestplat was not as heave as he had imagined, and it was longer , past his waist then it looked on the wooden dummy. The Sodē or pauldron ,fit perfectly . They were flexible and light. The Suneatē , leggings were different then Patrick had ever seen and when on he seen the advantage to them . Leggings there called , but more like a skirt. Down past your knees. Tiashō armor set , incomplete. The helm & Boots was missing . Oh yes a fine very fine set of armor candidate . The Taishō SENBUTA SET OF ARMOR ( incomplete) the HELM & Boots missing the audit announced.

It is a five pice complete set , each pice of armor gives a status boost to the wearer, and a bonus four set status affect and resistance boost, and a full set Five pice special enchantment. (Unknown)

Except the HELM & BOOTS is missing . Where? Patrick asked , in the far east quadrant of this Realm is a land called TENCHŪ there Resides a Lord of War he possesses the helm & boots for this set. He is the 78th Son of Big D. He goes by Lil D.

Patrick hucked up a luggy and spat it out on the floor, snorted again but swallowed it this time. Lil D ah . We'll let's go kick Lil D in the Dick and take my Helmet & boots back. Oh , oh a fine plan candidate. Just recruit a small army to go with you and bring a special weapon. You might win. Audit said with caution. can I do that? Recruit an small army? Oh heavens no , but hells yes you can find a special weapon. I need some shoes or boots to go with this set. Patrick complained looking around . He noticed these funny wooden shoes. Up high on a shelf. Thay had a warm glow , he strutted over to them . The audit chimed in , yes a fine addition to your mismatch set of Armor, Jiraiya Sinnin Jika-Tabi open toe sandals. A very rare pair of wooden sandals. You have a decerning eye candidate. Patrick reached for them then stopped, he looked around , then said MAY I? Oh yes you may,please try them on . In seven millenia Noone has even took the time to see these wonderful sandals. Patrick put them on . He could feel the strength and confidence they gave him ,also he was nine or ten centimeters taller. They had amazing grip . They look sweet . Patrick felt so much better, happier and full of confidence. Every once and awhile though he woukd make a funny face and his hands would come up to chest high and he woukd start squeezing. There wasn't anything there , but It looked like he was squeezing tits. He woukd make this creepy laugh too. Then he would fall over or trip and snap out of it. A status class character affect debuff. It lasted for ten seconds every thirty-six hours. So it wasn't so bad. Patrick loved the open toe design . Who wouldn't!!! All that he needed was weapons, they were across the hall in the weapons armory. Patrick felt cozy and warm , the the status affects were doubled, on account of the armor set bonus and the new wooden sandals.
