[flame]

The sun settled quietly behind the hill side in the distance as a man looked up to the moon on his knees. With his eyes shut and his mind in complete concentration the animals from all around the night began to gather around him from a distance.

The man suddenly began to stand up and practice what seemed to be tai chi, as he stomped to the ground the crows fled from the trees and as he came back to face the camera he gave an evil grin.

“Some world champion.” He said as he continued to walk closer to the camera with his head facing towards his feet, the clouds began to rumble in the distance and the lightening could be seen developing in the wicked looking clouds in the distance.

As the man stood before the camera he revealed himself to be none other then former WWA Canadian champion, Flame.


“A new coming is in order in the HWF and soon enough everyone will feel my pain!” Flame lashes out to the camera as he looks to the heavens


“The gods feel no pity for me and yet they took what was mine, with her heart I now fight!” Flame yells out to the clouds above as lightening begins to strike the hills in the distance.


“There is no force strong enough to stop me anymore, not even you big boy. You know who you are.” Flame seems to become calm as he begins to stroll in the darkness.


“I bet many of you are surprised to see me, surprised that I am still alive?” The creatures of the night watch him closely as he continues on past them.


“Most of all though I think Bomber Jake was the most surprised out of everyone here, he didn’t know what was coming and now he knows that he has someone to worry about. You know you think that you are something else don’t you. I saw how you looked at me when you realized who you were looking at. I could see your fear! I could smell your fear! I could feel your fear!” Flame began laughing sadistic like as the rain began to pour down from the heavens.


“It doesn’t matter what the stipulations are in the trial by fire tournament though, because one way or another, you have to step into the ring with me Bomber Jake! You have to go up against the most dominate man in this business! I am your fear!” He continues to laugh and finds shelter under a very tall stone ruin. Flame calms down a bit and looks seriously into the camera


“Jake I saw your little promo, talking about how you beat guys like, Shane Ralston, Orion, Saint, Todd Tellanski and of course Tuffy. You talked about how you became the rightful owner of my former title. Well here is something that you need to think about Bomber, I have beaten all of them as well and you know what I had a 16 straight wins in WWA. Now I am not saying that it means anything. I am just saying that it doesn’t matter who the hell you have beat. What is important is who you are going to lose to. You see Jake, I don’t like losing and I won’t.” As he laid his back against the wall he lit up a cigarette and embraced it in his lungs, as he exhales you could see the pain in his eyes looking into the grave site ahead of him.


“She was so beautiful, so wonderful, so promising. Have you ever felt that pain before Jake, the pain of your fiancé not waking up that morning. Have you ever woke up next to the cold dead body of your lover, kissing her lips and feeling how cold she is!” His eyes began to get rather large as he began to get louder.


“Jake, you can do whatever you think is necessary to win this trial by fire, but you want to know something Jake, the HWF world champion isn’t going to making past the quarter finals, because when it is all said and done I will be the one standing over you, making you be the first to realize that the HWF is about to change. The pain I feel will be shared throughout my matches, I will win the trial by fire and I will show you and everyone else that I am the pure definition of dominance.” The rain begins to slow down as Flame steps out on the muddy soil he begins to chuckle a bit


“Now Ralston I know that you were surprised to see me, hell I heard that you went to front office right after that night told them you couldn’t do it anymore, you quit like a fake all because you couldn’t cut it. What is wrong Ralston, you used to be a man of respect and dominance. A man that used to be all about this business and now you are just going to turn you back and walk out, well you just do that. It might just be the smartest thing you have ever done, because I was ready Ralston, I was ready to finish what we started so long ago.” As Flame continues on he comes across a road were traffic is very heavy.

He throws the cigarette butt onto a car and it swerves a little off the road and gets back on track. Flame laughs to himself and continues down the road. The car then cuts a quick 180 off to the side of the road as a big man gets out of the car, a woman gets out on the other. As the man comes closer to Flame he throws a punch but Flame dodges it and places him up on his shoulders, giving him a Flame bomb on the hard ground below.


“Get up Honey!” The woman yelled out loudly as Flame looked down smirking in the face of pain the man showed.


“What are you going to do? You really thought you would come out here and hit a man like myself?” The man slowly gets to his knee and one foot and begins to breath.


“You could of killed us!”The man charges at Flame but Flame just plants him with a hard heart punch, the man stumbles back about 6 feet holding onto his heart.


“ You foolish man, you cannot get close to me, you know nothing and yet at the same time you think that you know it all." The man begins to catch his breath a little bit as Flame gives him a look to kill. The man becomes a bit frightened as he begins to scramble back to his car and taking off.

“Yes, you run away from your fears.” Flame continues to walk down the side of the road as the sky begins to clear up revealing a full moon in the distance, the wolves begin to howl and Flame smiles in delight.

“They are some of the most vicious creatures of the night.” Cars begin to honk and people begin to yell out the window like crazies.


“The full moon does things to the human body that some people do not realize, it is like a aura of power, one that can be consumed by the human spirit. Something, most do not realize. I am sure that you may be thinking to yourself Jake that you won’t have any problem against a man like me, but at the same time I know that is what you are trying to make yourself believe, do you really think that you are ready to step against me? You have beaten most of the greats from WWA and yet you have never known what it is like to face a man of my power. You may think you do, but you really have no idea.” Flame says in confidence as he reaches the nearest town, as he walks onto the side walks you can see the people know him well by the way they hide away.


“People fear me as if I were their god, yet I am not even close, I am nothing more then a High priest of the wiccan religion, the only reason why people fear me is because they misunderstand what it is. They may think that I worship some sort of devil or some kind of evil, yet they do not understand what it is I really do believe in. The goddesses have given me power beyond man, a power that no man can handle and when you step before me in the asylum you will feel my power, just as these people feel the energy around them.” As he continues down the dark streets you can hear the cats meowing and the dogs barking.


“I really hope that everyone is ready to this tournament, because I am going to go to the end and I will show pure dominance, my reign in the HWF will begin soon and when it does it will not end. I am out not only for the titles but the blood of all the wrestlers in the back. I want to feel it on my hands, I want to taste it in my mouth I want to feel the rush in my vanes! Soon the trial by fire will be a fire in deed and this will be the flame to start it all!” Flame looks to the camera with the evil looks again as the mist begins to rise from the streets. He continued on a teenager on the street stopped Flame.

“Excuse me, are you who I think you are? Aren’t you the man that everyone around here is afraid of? Flame I think your name was…” The boy was just full of questions and answers as Flame turned to face him with a serious look into his eyes.


“I guess you could say that, although I do not know why your people around here are afraid, I am nothing more then another person walking down the street.” Flame says to the kid as he comes a bit closer.


“Well they say that you are the reason why the storms come so harsh like, they say that a dark cloud follows you where ever you go. Also, because you are a master of dark arts.” The boy says curiously as Flame looks at him with nothing.

“They say because your craft we will all be doomed.” Flame smiles down on the child and places his hand on his shoulder.


“You people do not get the weather from my aura, but the one who follows me, it is not a cloud.” The child waits for the rest but Flame just walks away.


“Hecate, you will forever have my soul and in time we will re unite. With your heart I will fight.” Flame says as he walks off in the distance the kid stays behind being puzzled about what he was told.

~Scene fades to black~

[flame]

Life had been harder then ever, Flame had been having problems lately and it was no secret that there was pain going on. As he stands there alone in the middle of night, clouds begin to rumble in the distance over the bright white moon. In his trench coat, Flame looks to the stars.


“You were mine and I was yours, my other half is no more. In my heart I will carry her soul, in my mind I burry the memory.”


Lighting begins to flash in the distance as Flame turns to face the camera revealing his morbid face.


“I said my goodbyes to my love and lady. As she was taken to the Deity above, was this a part of your plan oh great one? To take the one person that meant the most. Did you have some kind of plan or was there something that she did. She was innocent and so young. Yet you took her to rest before her life had even begun.”


Flame continues to look up as he walks through the misty graveyard, in the distance Flame hears footsteps of quite a few people as he cautiously continues through the darkness.


“Hecate, with your heart I will fight and with your soul I will win. Forever you are mine and together we will prevail.”


As Flame closes his eyes a tear falls from his morbid face.


“In the end it will all be alright…” A voice says from the cloudy darkness.


Flame quickly looks up as he hears the footsteps getting closer.


“You will always have your coven…” A females voice says in the distance as they get closer.


“Together we will accomplish what we are here for….With blood I will enforce the laws of three fold.”


Flame smirks on his face as he recognizes the voices.


“I will do my best to protect…” A new voice says in confidence.


The figures turn to face flame in the dark cloaks as they circle around there brother.


“I take you all are ready for this ritual…” Flame says as he pulls the a knife from his cloak.
As Flame takes the south corner the others fall into place. one figure stands in the north cornor and the second figure stands to the east and another figure stands to the west. Another figure is seen walking to the middle of the power circle.


"Who comes to the gate?" Flame says as the figure kneels down in his black sash.


"It is I, Paradox, child of earth and starry heaven."


"Who speaks for you?" Flame says as the figure to the north steps forth taking her cloak away from her neck, as she steps to the shoulder of Paradox.


"It is I, Felice who vouches for him."

Flame holds the point of the dagger to the candidates heart, and says


"You are about to enter a vortex of power, a place beyond imagining,where birth and death, dark and light, joy and pain, meet and make one. You are about to step between the worlds, beyond time, outside the realm of your human life. You who stands on the threshold of the dread mighty ones, have you the courage to make the essay? For know it is better to fall on my blade and perish than to make the attempt with fear in thy heart!"


"I tread the path with perfect love and perfect trust." Paradox says as he looks up to Flame.


"Prepare for death and rebirth." Flame says calmly as he takes the sword and cuts off the apprentices clothing till he is standing bare chest. Flame grounds his sword to the Earth. Flame then blindfolds Paradox and ties a cord around his wrists and one ankle while saying:


"And he was bound as all living things must be, who would enter the Kingdom of Death. And His feet were neither bound nor free."

Paradox is to the bay, while still blindfolded before the rest of the Coven. While being bathed, Paradox says not a word. He is helped from the tub and dried off. Paradox is then carried to the Circle.


"Thus are all first brought into the world, and thus are all first brought into the Coven." Flame says as he leads the candidate to each of the four corners and introduces him to the Guardians.


"Hail Guardians of the Watchtowers of the East and all the Mighty Ones of the Craft. Behold Paradox, who will now be made Priest and Witch." The man of three fold justice says loudly as Paradox is brought back to the altar where he stands before Felice. Paradox kneels and gives her the Five Fold Kiss; that is, he kisses her on both feet, both knees, womb, both breasts, and the lips,starting with the right of each pair. He says, as he does this


"Blessed be thy feet, that have brought thee in these ways.
Blessed be thy knees, that shall kneel at the sacred altar.
Blessed be thy womb, without which we would not be.
Blessed be thy breasts, formed in beauty.
Blessed be thy lips, that shall utter the Sacred Names."


For the kiss on the lips, they embrace, length-to-length, with their feet touching each others. When he reaches the womb, she spreads her arms wide, and the same after the kiss on the lips. Paradox is then measured with the other piece of cord, from head to toe. The cord is cut. He is then measured around the head and chest and knots are tied to mark these lengths. Felice rolls up the cord, and asks the candidate:


"Are you willing to swear the oath?"


Paradox answers "I am."


"Are you willing to suffer to learn?" Flame asks

Paradox answers "Yes."


Felice takes Paradox's hand, and with a needle properly purified by fire and water, pricks his finger, squeezing a few drops out onto the measure. Paradox then kneels, and places one hand on his head and the other beneath his heel and she repeats what is read to her.


"This is the Charge of the Coven That I will keep secret what I am asked to keep secret, and never divulge the names or dwelling places of our people unless by their consent.
That I will learn and try to master the Art Magical; but ever remember the rune what good be the tools without the inner light? What good be magic without wisdom sight?"
Flame says as he looks to the pagan of justice.


“That in due course I will strive to find a worthy pupil in magic, to whom in future years I can hand down the knowledge I acquire. That I will never use the Art Magical merely to impress foolish persons, nor for any wrongful end. That I will help the Craft of the Wise, and hold it's honor as I would my own. That I consider these vows taken before the Elder Gods; and that if I betray this Charge I accept as my just reward that retribution of destiny which overtakes those who basely betray the trust and confidence that others have placed in them. Know that none can escape the fate, be it curse or blessing, which they make for themselves, either in this life or in another life.“ Paradox repeats these words as he looks to Felice


"Repeat after me: 'I, Paradox, do of my own free will most solemnly swear to protect, help and defend my sisters and brothers of the Art and to keep the Coven's Charge.

I always keep secret all that must not be revealed.

This do I swear on my mother's womb and my hopes of future lives, mindful that my measurehas been taken, andin the presence of the Mighty Ones.'

All between my two hands belongs to the Goddess."


Paradox repeats these words as all members look to him sadistic like.



"So mote it be!" The coven all say together as they begin to shout aloud


"Arise and be anointed young disciple." Flame says as he looks to his little brother with a proud sense to him.

Flame then makes an X mark on the initiates forehead,breast and genitals while saying
"May your mind be free. May your heart be free. May your body be free. I give you the Craft name of Stone.”


The clouds in the back begin to get darker as the words continue, With the ritual finished Stone gives a hand shake to each one around him.

Flame walks off away from the circle and looks up to the stars…


“The time is soon before us my love, the chapters are being set and now my brother has joined my side.” Flame says as he sits on the hill side on a cliff looking up to the stars.

“You know I have this opponent this week that thinks that he is the shit, just because he won some great matches he thinks that he is the top notch man around here. I know that he is the world champion around the HWF but you know what, that was before I stepped in.” Flame smiles to himself as his brother Stone sat next to him.


“Who are you talking to?” Stone stood above his brother and laughed as Flame stood up.


“So you got a big match coming soon huh?” Stone said to his brother as he looked up to the sky for himself, taking a deep loud of air his brother exhaled his longs as if he was refreshing his soul.


“So it is the trial by fire huh? Yeah, I say the promo’s for you match. You got the world champion as your first opponent.” Flame shakes his head and gives a sharp stare to the eyes of his brother.


“He may be a good guy and all, yeah I can say that the man has some skill to his game, but you know he hasn’t been in this business for over a decade, when he was back in high school he was probably blowing up bull frogs with M80’s. He has my respect as a wrestler but at the same time I can tell that the man has the fear, he can deny it all he wants, sure he is going to be a cocky shit, but you know what World champion isn’t. It takes a lot more then what you did to accomplish what your going to do. He has the wrong attitude and you know what maybe someone like me needs to straighten his ass out.” Stone just looks at flame with a smirk on the face.


“What about all the others in the tournament?” Stone asked Flame as Flame trailed off into the distance.


“Well if these guys think they have what it takes to get through the trial by fire and stand up against me then so be it, bring anyone from the back, this one is mine and that I will promise you.” Flame says as he continues on his way as the scene fades to black.

Prolouge

Lately Flame had been confused and misunderstood, everything was happening so fast and not even his fellow coven members were understanding what was going through his mind. For now he felt alone for the first time in a very long time. His mind was crowded with the death of his former lover. He knew that he had more a head of him now that he had returned to wrestling. His fans were ready for his long awaited return and he wasn’t going to disappoint them.



~~~Scene~~~


Under the full harvest moon was a foggy night, the people were acting like animals hanging out at there local watching there favorite sports entertainment. Unknown to them the freaks were out and they were having there own kind of fun. Vincent was doing neither, but simply walking the streets of Detriot. As he crossed the path of a young teenager the kid looked at him with a frown of disbelief.


“You used to be my hero, you were able to conquer anyone or anything. Were have you been, you are the reason why I stopped watching wrestling!“ The kid looked up to Vincent with the same look as Vincent staid morbid.


“I am sorry to say that I have been out of wrestling for a few months, you see, Hecate passed away recently and to tell you the truth kid, after she died. I didn’t think I could wrestle anymore.” The kid was shaking his head and looked down at his own feet kicking the loose as fault into the street.


“Flame you were something before her, you had something great before she ever entered your life. You just haven’t realized it.” The kid kept his head down and Vincent seemed puzzled as he responded to the words.


“What are you talking about?” The tears began to poor from the face of the poor child.


“Have you learned nothing from yourself? I mean you have taught so many to others and yet you can’t even show yourself the way and what is right in front of you?” The kid said sadly as Vincent still seemed puzzled.



“You need to think about what your were before, the lessons you taught and the people you touched. For god fucking sake you took on the biggest man in the wrestling business and you became the world champion of WhW. You overcame the people of the WWA to take the Canadian championship! You beat so many legends and you had made yourself into one.” The kid began to walk away as Vincent began to realize what he was talking about.

“ Bluhd Raige was nothing compared to most of these men in this business, I am getting older and the new guys are coming in and they have something to prove. Me, I have really proved everything…” The kid looked back at him with a smirk on his face.

“Have you?” The kid said as he continued forward into the streets.


“Kid!” Flame yelled loudly as the kid faced Flame.


“You know I am in the trial by fire tournament for the HWF don’t you?” The child said nothing but smirked to Flame as he winked and walked away. Flame smiled to himself as Flame thought to himself he began to realize how important he was to the fans and how much they loved to see him in the ring. As the kid was out of view Vincent turned to his left and saw a dark haired woman standing on the sidewalk on the other side of the street. She looked at him for a split second an began to walk away.

“Trinity?” Vincent said to himself as he quickly crossed the empty street and to the other side and began following the young woman.

“Trinity! Wait!” He shouted but the woman continued forward.

He chased her down and she just ran and he followed, as he came to a grave yard it was if she vanished, no where to be found. He continued to look around and try and find where she went. As he continued his search he began to feel the presence of the crows..


“Well it looks like she lead you to the right place.” The voice says to the darkness as Flame stands there confused.

“Friend you have to realize that you are apart of the great plan. Also you need to realize what is in front of you.” Ashe said to flame as he stayed morbid once again listening.

The figures stepped out of the darkness to reveal themselves, on the right of the dark figure was Felice, his high priestess, to his left was none other then Trinity. Flame was shocked and didn’t really know what to make of this. As Trinity walked closer she smirked at him and put her palm to his cheek, laying a kiss upon his soft lips. Immediately, he began to see the images in his mind of the past. The way they used to look at each other. The great sacrifices they made and how much he loved her.

As he opened his eyes back to reality he saw the way she was looking at him, he soon embraced her and the clouds begin to get darker the thunder began to roll, the fog became thick and as it cleared there was no one but himself standing in the middle of the graveyard.

Puzzled once again he tried looking through the dark woods in the distance, he couldn’t tell were they were but he knew that they were close because he felt there presence. He kept searching and searching but to find nothing. He then after awhile laid in the soft grass and looked up to the full harvest moon through the thick dark clouds.

“What does this all mean?” He asked himself and closed his eyes.

Soon enough though the lightening began to pick up once again and Vincent felt them getting closer. As Trinity looked over him, he looked into her eyes.

“You know I have been mistaken, please just give me a break and see the changes I have made…I have imperfections, but some how you have always found a way to keep me right here waiting.” Trinity said to Flame as he stood up still sitting on the grass. She grabbed his hand and sat next to him wrapping his arms around her waist.


“Can’t you just forgive me, I don’t want to relive all the mistakes I have made.” Flame said to her as she smiled and kissed his lips.


“The only way to seal a broken heart is forgive. Your opponents this week in the trial by fire aren’t going to be so forgiving though. ” Trinity said as Flame let go of Trinity laying back onto the grass leaving her between his legs. She laid her back to his stomach and wrapped her arms around the back of his neck looking up to the stars.

“Do you not remember what we used to have Vincent? The love we had, did that now mean anything?” Trinity said to Vincent as she continued to stay focused into the dark clouds as they covered the full harvest moon.


“You know Trinity, tonight we are supposed to perform a ritual to Gia. Yet I think that he has forsaken me so I think to myself why does it matter?“ Vincent said to Trinity as she stood up and looked down into his eyes.

“Gia, will never forsake you, you are his educator and his pupil in some eyes. In mine at least, that is why you have to believe and that is why you have to prove to everyone that you are someone again. Don’t let your memories hold you back! What is wrong with you have you been actually listening to bomber jake about what he has said about the rituals you do?!” Trinity began to lash to Vincent


“I can’t help but think about her and those eyes I used to look into, She was so wonderful. And of course I haven’t been listening to that kid. He has about the same IQ as Deamon Cohln, which is about 20. ” Trinity turned her back to Vincent and looked to the sky once again.


“You know a high priest once said to me that you shouldn’t reflect your future on your past, cause that will only hold you back. So look to the future and see where it goes because it will take you far. ” Trinity said to Vicent as he got up to his feet.

He knew that he was the one she was referring to.


“I guess I really don’t know how to listen to my own advice do I? That or I have forgotten what I preach. You are absolutely right though Trinity and I thank you for bringing that to my mind. Maybe in time we will be one again.” Vincent said to Trinity as he turned away and began walking back to the street, but he was soon stopped by Felice and a cloaked disciple both.


“My friend we have a ritual to perform and believe me, Gia hasn’t forgotten about you or the rest of us! He will always remember and you need to do exactly what Trinity has said. Do not turn your back on our god!” Just as Felice said those words the disciple began sprinkling white ashes around Vincent.

It was obvious that she was forming a power circle and Vincent then began to realize that his friends were right, Gia was the only one that could help him that could restore his mind back to the way it used to be. The only way to become the unstoppable force known as Flame, was through the name of Gia.


“Lets do it then, Trinity are you going to join us? “ Vincent asked as she turned around with a small smile and a tear in the eye.


As the disciple took the North position, Flame went down to the south point and Felice finished the power circle as she stood in the east, Trinity took the west.

"Our Circle is a place where hearts and minds can meet and share in the wonder and empowerment of a living and loving Goddess. We are a coven of friends, but above all things we are Family. Our Love and our Magick binds us together and our Circle keeps us and nurtures us. We are blessed. Blessed Be!" Felice opens the ritual with these words as she continues on


“Mighty Dragon, Guardian of the realms of the East. Your tongue is a sharp sword, cutting with the knowledge of the arcane. Your spirit flows as graceful as a swift in flight. Purify us with truth. Blessed Be.” As Felice finishes Flame continues


“Mighty Dragon, Guardian of the realms of the South, your breath is a flame with the fires of inspiration and passion. Your spirit is searing and fervent. Purify us with Love. Blessed Be.” As he finishes Trinity is the next to speak


“Mighty Dragon, Guardian of the realms of the West, your coils are the cleansing healing waves that nurture the soul. Your spirit lunges, leaps and splashes like a Talbot at play. Purify us with pulsing tides. Blessed Be.” As Trinity finshes her words the disciple finshes his

“Mighty Dragon, Guardian of the realms of the North, your talons run like roots into the earth, giving you infinite strength. Your spirit is substantial, hard and pure like a clear crystal. Purify us with persistent wisdom. Blessed Be.” the disciple says as the circle is now charged with the power of thrice.”

As each member turns to right they begin to follow behind one another and Felice speaks aloud.


“Under this harvest moon we gain your power and trust with perfect love and perfect trust.”


The sky then clears slowly and the moon shines down upon them and Flame continues


“Under this harvest moon we gain your love and your anger, with perfect love and perfect trust.”



The wind becomes calm and nothing but silence can be heard, as the High Priest Flame and the High Priestess Felice enter the center of the circle, Ashe stands to the north and Trinity stands to the south. As Flame faces Trinity and Felice faces the disciple they began to walk towards them both.

In unisen all four continued,


“Bind our powers together so that we may conquer, with your heart in ours we are yours and you are ours, give us the power that we desire.” The orbs began to surround both couples and soon they faded, feeling the energy they knew it was done. As the couples separated Flame looked to Trinity and kissed her lips softly.


“I hope that all of these men are ready for me because I am going to go through each one of them with a vengeance that they have never felt!” Flame said to Trinity as she smiled.


“You think you can beat bomber Jake?.” She said to him as the scene fades to black

“Not only am I going to beat the shit out of Jake and wipe the arena down with his blood and everyone else’s. I am going to make him tap out like a little bitch and whom ever faces me in the next round better be ready to fight because I am going to bring all that I got! I am going to take it to the next level and that I promise you” Flame smirks in the face of trinity as the scene fades to black.

[flame]

Under an almost full moon and a sky of dust, the view closes into what looks like old ruin stone hedges. As the camera begins to look around as a cloaked figure is spotted walking through two stone hedges. The camera comes closer as the figure yells to the camera

“So the HWF is now stocking me I see, well I have to say that I am not surprised. The whole world would like to know what exactly we do to prepare for the trial by fire.”[/color] Flame says as the wind begins to whistle in the distance as his voice echoes throughout the ruin stone hedges. The man known as Flame comes closer and closer as he begins to ignore the camera.


“My friend here and I are going to purify our souls and asked for the gift of dominance. It is something that only one of the same bloods of a high priest or priestess can do.” As Flame speaks he reaches a huge boulder as he goes around it he enters a power circle surrounded by boulders. A single solitary flame burns on the top of the north boulder as a flock of crows comes into view a smirk comes over his face.


“Ashe is here, my cousin reveal thee!” As Flame yells the crows land on there own separate boulder. The crows start to caw and Flame turns around, on the altar in the center of the circle is Ashe. Lying down with his coat open and the sides of it hanging over an alter. He looks over to Flame,

“You know you don’t have to yell cousin. Ashe then moves and sits up


“I see you got my message.”

Ashe then stands up and walks over to Flame. He gives him a quick embrace and then looks around. He smiles and laughs slightly.


“ I see that my presence is announced even more now. That is a good feeling. It is a good sign for the Coven and I, and an omen for you. “ Ashe looks back to Flame who has a smirk on his face.


“Yes it is, the greatest sign of them all. We are surrounded by your power animal, and they do give you power, I can feel it.” Flame says as he looks up to the full moon and back to Ashe.


“So who are you facing in this “trial by fire” tournament?” Ashe asked Flame as he showed a snotty looking grin.

“Well I am facing many men in this tournament, but first I have to go through there world champion, Bomber Jake.” Flame says as ashe begins to laugh it up.


“Damn does that sound old school. Bomber Jake huh, well I have to say that has to be the dumbest super villain name I have ever heard of. Tell me, how do you plan on beating this guy and the rest of them?” Ashe asked as Flame turned his back to face the sky.


“Well the first match is a submissions match, which means that I have to lock him into the Death lock. Which should be fun considering he doesn’t know any submissions.” Flame said as he continued to look forth.


“That is really sad when you don’t even know how to do a submission move and you’re the champion of a wrestling federation. I think that this guy needs to do some studying before he gets in that ring with you.” Ashe replied as he joined Flame at his side.


“Tell me about it, this guy doesn’t know what is going to happen to him when he is actually in the ring against me, he is confident that he is going to go through the trial by fire with such ease. Well he is going to be sadly mistaken when he is submitting to my power.” Flame says to Ashe as he just sits there nodding his head.


“Are you ready to begin training?” Flame nods and they take there wrestling stances.

Ashe and Flame begin to circle each other in the middle of the stone ruin, as the lock up Flame gets the upper hand and slams Ashe into the stone behind him, as he stand back up Flame comes in with a hard spear! Ashe lays there a bit as Flame grabs his legs, placing his right leg in between Ashe’s he locks his ankles. Flame then begins to lift the legs up, before he can finish Ashe tries to stay on his back but Flame is to powerful for him as he lifts him up off the ground running forward, place Ashe on his stomach. Flame puts the pressure on as Ashe begins to tap out!

Flame then lets go and helps Ashe up, Ashe shakes it off while holding his back as Flame pats him on the back.


“That was longer then usual hahaha!” Flame says to Ashe as he gets to his feet.


“You haven’t lost it, you really are going to tare this guy up and quickly, I just hope that you are able to have an easy time against the rest of them.” Ashe says to Flame and walks to rest against the stone to his right.


“To tell you the truth I believe that these guys are going to be pretty difficult, hell I may not even win this thing, what am I talking about…Of course I am going to win, these guys aren’t ready for what is coming against them.” Flame says to Ashe and then looks into the camera.

“You see Jake, you have no chance against a man of my size, you really are full of yourself and I am going to prove that to you, hell if you can last five minutes in the ring with me then you have my respect. I doubt that you will though, you see I broke the record of quickest submission back in the year 1997, way before you were even in this business. You can go train with some guy at a gym and hope to learn a few submission moves. But I will tell you this, it takes a lot more then one day at the gym to perfect a submission move. You may be the HWF world champion but you know nothing about a submission match. I am going to make your pain so horrible that you are going to be crying blood. You come to that ring on Sunday night and you show me all of what you got because I am going to be ready to take you to the next level and show everyone how I dominate.” Flame takes a deep breath and looks behind him turning his back away from the camera as he faces the moon.



“You know you have a smart girlfriend, she seems to know more about what you up against then you do and to tell you the truth I don’t think she thinks you can win this. You have no idea what kind of power you are up against, but you will soon enough and your girlfriend is going to watch you scream in pain like the little bitch like she is.” As Flame continues on he can’t help but show the confidence in his smile as he faces back to the camera.

“Jake you don’t really know anything about your opponent and yet you think you are going to be able to just make me tap out with such ease, well let me let you in on a little secret. I have and never will tap out in a match, I have never said I quit and I never will. So with that in mind you think really hard if you want to step into that ring, if you were smart you would do a little read up on the rituals I have performed thus far. You see those people you saw helping me were my coven, if you knew anything at all you would know that Gia is the almighty one, you may know him as god.” Flame can’t help but laugh as he continues.



“Jake you are young and I am sure that you are going to be your best in this match, and I want you to do just that. I want you to bring the competition, I want you to show me what you are made of! Show me why they call you a champion! If you can….” Flame calms down a bit as he looks up into the cold dark sky.

“You better be ready to step into that ring with me Jake and show me your new little submission move, because there is no way that I am going to tap out. There isn’t anyone in this federation that could make me tap, so don’t think just because you got cheap lessons from some guy in a gym that you are going to come out on top.” Flame then looks back down into the camera as he begins to address the rest of the members in the trial by fire.


“Now, to the rest of you in this tournament, you all better be ready to go on Sunday, you all better be ready to give it your all! But remember this, it doesn’t matter how hard you try, keep that in mind, because in the end it doesn’t really matter. Be ready to go to the next level because I am going to take the HWF by storm and the fans will have my back on that one.” As Flame begins to walk off with Ashe following behind him the scene fades to black.

The sun settled and the night came as Flame walked the cold streets of Detriot, people looked at him as if he were some kind of freak. He didn’t care though because he only had one thing in mind and that was the trial by fire.


“Everyone in this tournament has one goal, to win. Well all I have to say to them is that it won’t be easy and in the end I am going to be on top with the victory.” Flame said as he wickedly smiled into the camera.


“You see ladies the rituals I have performed before you all have been rituals in which give me the power of the moon and Gia. Now not that I need the power of any one of these super naturals, but I do have to have the permission of the god and goddesses, the moon represents the goddesses and the ritual of Gia basically gives me permission to do harm to each and every one of you. It seems that each one of your souls are tainted and from what I heard from some people around Detroit was that Bomber Jake is a child molester. Now Jake why is it that you get your jolly by touching little boys? ” Flame said as he looked up at the sign the read, “Blessed.” It was nothing more then another nightclub that Flame had control of. Flame walked in side as he continued.


“This battle is going to be a battle to remember for each and everyone of you in the back, you see I don’t like baby fuckers. So Jake, you can expect me to come at you with more then you can handle. I am going to cripple you in that ring and you are going to always remember who did it.” As the door was opened nothing could be seen but darkness, as Flame lifted his arms, fire arose from the wick of five candles placed into a huge circle. At each corner a figure in a cloak stood.

The footsteps of Flame could not be heard as he walks slowly to the circle in front of him. Cobwebs hung from above as dust filled the air.


“I haven’t been here for a very long time. I can still feel his power and presence in this very room. It is so extreme, Jake, if you only knew what you were up against. Of course, I don’t know anything about you. I do know though that you are a very bad person and you need to be dealt with. You see in the practices of wicca, you enforce the laws of three fold and you have been a very bad man. So be ready for everything to come back to you times three!”

Flame shouted as he began to walk around the circle, following the design going up down and across.

“You know when I was young, I was power hungry, I wanted absolute strength and the ability to throw a man as far possible. Now, I do that for a living. Pro wrestling had changed the way my mind worked. I began to realize that there were others out there that craved this same attribute. That’s why I am the way I am HWF, that is why I will reign supreme in this tournament. I have been doing this for way to long and I have been doing this not for myself anymore. I do it for the pagan fans out there!” Flame said loudly as it echoed throughout the room, the candles dimming down and rising back up quickly. Footsteps then could be heard in the background as Flame slowly turned towards the noise a figure in the shadows could slightly be seen.


“Are you, Are you who I think you are?” The voice said as Flame rose his eyebrow in curiosity.


“It all depends on who you think I am.” The teenage boy stepped out with a cloak on and a pentacle around his neck.


“Are you, Vincent Summers, The one that lead my people?” The boy stepped out closer to Flame as he pulled his hood down to reveal a teenage boy with long black silk looking hair and dark green eyes.


“What is your name?” Flame said as he shook the hand of the young man.


“My name is Vincent, my parents named me after you. After you had disappeared, they didn’t know what to do, they were lost.” The boy said to the non emotional eyes of Flame.


“It was a time when good was versus evil. You have to understand that I did what was best for everyone.” Flame said as he looked down at the young man.


“We have been told never to talk about the night you left. I have never and will probably never hear the story behind it all. If my parents knew you were here. They would probably be on there knees thanking you for your return.” The boy said as Flame turned away from him, hiding his face from the innocent eye.


“They shall never know about me stepping foot back into this place. I haven’t been in Detroit for many years.“ Flame replies as he turns back to face the boy.


“I have come here just to see if everything was ok, that and to get ready for the trial by fire tournament. I have to prove that I am the most elite in the HWF.”


The boy grins and looks up at Flame.


“I watch you were ever you go, we all do. Jake or no other man in the HWF is ready for a man of your caliber. He will discover that once he is feeling the Flame bomb. Your reign as the winner in it all and your reign as champion is well on its way my lord.” The boy grins up at Flame


“I am not your lord child, I am nothing more then a high priest and wrestler amongst men. The time will come when you are in my shoes, After all you already have the name kid.” The boy seems to be sad about these words as he looks down to the floor and cloaks his head. The cloaked teenager then shakes the hand of Flame as he turns his back.


“Come to do what you have come to do sir, I shall never speak of this meeting and I am sure that in time I will be in your position. After all Flame, you are the undying warlock..” The boy then turns back to face Flame.


“After all, I have done some studying of my own. Thank you, for what you did for my people. We will always protect you when needed.” The boy then grins a bit as his fangs come from the front side of his jaw.


“Good luck against you opponents in the trial by fire, I know that you will come out on top.” The boy begins to walk off, but before he can take another step, Flame stops him with his voice.


“Why is it now that you know so much about me?” The boy once again turned back to face Flame as Flame lit up a cigarette.


“You know, I am surprised you haven’t figured it out yet. We are everywhere, just ask your friends.” The boy continues on his way as Flame stands there with a look of nothing of his face as the scene fades to black
