[ The city of Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Researchers believe that the town was founded in the seventh or sixth century BC and was captured by the Romans in 80 BC. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was probably approximately 20,000, with a complex water system, an amphitheater, gymnasium and a port. ]

- Ash's .. It's raining ash. I Looked up and the sky was almost all black, yet i could see some ray of sunshine coming through the dark clouds. It is not night time, so what's causing all of this, and how could it be raining ash's. I Stood there a minute and tried to gather my thoughts, i turned around to ask something to Amber, as i turned around i noticed she was not by my side anymore, wait a minute ! The more i look around the more i noticed, this is not Centralia, what the hell is happening. Minutes ago i was at the School looking at a book on the table, i was slowly making my way to the book to see what it was. Where am i ... I Looked around me and noticed i was still in a library but, this look like a building from the roman empire.. it's impossible. And as i was still looking around i could still see outside through some .. i guess we could call them windows.. i could still see the sky getting darker and darker and ash falling down on the ground. I Ran outside, and at the exact moment my feet touched outside the sky came back to normal, the raining ash was gone. Everything looked old, like ancient old. I Waked around in this weird city, and noticed body's laying on the floor, they look like sculpture. I Walked over to one that was laying right there in the middle of the road, as soon as i crouched next to the body sculpture, everything turned black again, i could hear scream and saw people running everywhere, it was hot, like not normal hot ... In the Summer in Centralia it was hot, and because of the underground fire it was even hotter, but here .. this is not normal, it was way too hot. I Turned around to look back at the body i was crouched next to, the man was screaming and looking at me right in the eyes. I jumped backward and fell down on the ground, he kept starring at me in the eyes as he was laying there burning, he started crawling towards me screaming, i closed my eyes because the sight of this man burning was way too hard to watch for me. Once my eyes were shut ... the screaming stopped, the heat was gone, it was silent again. I Opened my eyes and everything was back to normal, the body laying on the ground looking like a sculpture. I Got back up, sweating from the previous heat or perhaps sweating because of nervousness.I Stood there in the middle of the road trying not to look at another body scared that it might happen again, i walked about 5 min trying to simply focus on the road and i ended up in front of what looks like a temple. I Looked at the little history sign the was on like a podium, this is the ..''Temple of Apollo''. I Entered the temple and started to walk across the place and suddenly .. i could not move. I Was stuck. Well not stuck, i just cant move. It's like i am paralyzed or something like that. I Tried to use all the force i had in move just to move a finger and i could not even manage to do that. What is happening ? I Saw a man, making his way toward me, i never saw that man before of my life. He walked until he was right in front of me, he looked at me and smile, like he found that amusing that i could not move anything, he took a few step around me and went back to stand in front of me.. i was waiting for him to talk but he did not look so in a hurry to communicate. He started to walk around me 2 or 3 more times before stopping in front of me again. What is he waiting for, i hope he doesn't plan on turning around me for the whole day. He stared at me in the eyes and finally opened his mouth to say something .. -

?? :
Don't worry Mr.Daniels once we are done here you are gonna be able to move again don't even worry about that. Let me first tell you why i am here shall i ! You see Mr.Daniels, i had a lot of job to do here, lot of job to do here, Just like in Centralia Mr.Daniels. People burned to death, heated until there brain actually melted inside there own skull, how disturbing and twisted is that. It's a shame really. All that work. It's not a very popular solution Fire, he does not use it so often, its weird. Yet he used it in this situation and in the Centralia situation. Oh, just in case History is not your thing, or sight seeing is not your thing .. this is Pompeii !

Nick Daniels :
Yes i had figured that much. What the hell are you talking about ? Pompeii was destroyed .. well not destroyed but, whatever it was attacked i guess we could say by a volcano eruption that was the end-results of an earthquake. Nobody DID that, and those 2 incident are 1950 years apart .. are you out of your mind ? And how the hell did you stop me from moving, did you drug me. Did Damien Manson send you here ? i swear this idiot .. how can he expect me to win matches, and train for my matches and bring recognition to Centralia if he drugs me every single day ! And how the hell could you have worked both .. Benjamin Button disease.

?? :
Yes Mr. Daniels the same person did both, as a simple solution. And no i was not send here by Damien Manson and now you are not drugged i can simply make you do what i want. Oh i actually forgot to introduce myself. You people call me by a lot of name, but i guess the most common name give to me is ''Death'' but you can always call me the Grim Reaper if you want, it's actually all up to you really. And yes Mr.Daniels, i did work both, i had to come collect all those souls. And yes, the same man did both. God did both. God burned them, just like years and years later he burned Centralia and all your people to the ground. You call Centralia Ash-Land Mr.Daniels, well welcome to Pompeii, the first Ash-Land.

Nick Daniels :
Who the fuck do you take me for ? you are bat-shit crazy do you know that. I got drugged out of my mind by a complete nut-case. What the hell do you want ? and if this is Pompeii how the fuck did i end up here in the first place. I Would remember making the trip from Pennsylvania all the way to Italy. Death .. pff you are fucking nuts man. Fucking Nuts ! Where is your black robe and you are not a fucking skeleton mate ! Wow.. Damien is sending me the most retarded person ever now.

- I Thought his little psychopathic ego would of been hurt after what i said. But the weird guy started laughing and move his head like he was saying to me ''okay,okay,okay'' He took a few steps back and pointed far from me to my right, so i turned around to see what he was pointing at, and as soon as i turned around looked over there, the sky went black again, Ashes was falling from the sky, it's like we were in a snow storm but without snow. The terrible heat came back again, and i started sweating but i couldn't move. I Moved my head to look there and that's the ONLY THING i could move. I Continued to look as i saw people running around and screaming, flesh melting away from there bones as they were all running towards me. It was way too hard to look at, so i turned my head around to look at the guy standing in front of me, as soon as i looked back at him everything was once again back to normal. I was standing in the ruin of the Temple of Apollo in a sunny day. He looked at me and started to laugh. Maybe i should stop fucking around with this guy, that shit was rather fucking creepy. And well, after what he just did is there any way that i could actually not believe him when he says he is death. I Think the little trick pretty much prove everything he said about himself to be true. So might as well continue this conversation on the assumption that he is really the grim reaper. -

Death :
You wanna know why you people believe i should be a skeletal figure and carry a giant scythe with me, why i should always be dressed in all black, because none of your people ever lived to tell how i really look Mr.Daniels. But have no worry Mr.Daniels, you will actually be the first one to be able to leave this place and know what i look like. Your time has not come yet, not yet. I Am here because i have a message from you. More like an advice from someone who is looking forward to what you do next. Mr. Burning City .... Saint.

Nick Daniels :
A Message for me ? Okaay.. and yeah euhm, listen don't take that ''Saint'' name to serious you know, it's just how people called me you know euhm i don't consider myself a saint at all it's just euhm a nickname you know.

Death :
I Am not here for that Mr.Daniels i could care less what you call yourself. I Have a message for you, you need to channel all those unexplainable thing that happen to you in Centralia, and channel all that dark energy to your advantage. All those weird dream, stop just throwing them away once you wake up, make the most of them. In Fort Collins, you are facing Donzig in a match. And just like last week we want to see you win. And i was sent here to tell you.. if you listen to me, and learn to live with this darkness that surround you, you will be better. And you will be stronger. And Donzig or Montgomerry or anybody else will not stand in your way. Mr.Daniels... i am not a messager from god. I Am a contractor, i am the only demon from under that does the work as an angel of above. You normal people need to stand up to god, and learn to embrass the darkness of this world. Learn to channel your darkest thought and turn them into anger so you can be better in that ring. So that world heavyweight championship can go back to Centralia with you. If you are wondering why i brought you here .. to Pompeii, its simple. Pompeii suffered the faith of fire, yet Pompeii received the recognition of the world for what they endured. Centralia, has been forgotten ... and it's a shame that so many taken souls goes un-noticed by the world.

Nick Daniels :
Learn to control my darkest thought ? learn from the weird and twisted dream i have ? euhm i will try i guess. But have no fear for Donzig, he is nothing to me, and have no fear for the championship belt. It will come back home to centralia with me.

- I could move, it felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders. I Looked down on the ground and moved my legs, when i looked up the man was gone, well ... Death was gone. I Looked around to see if he was around but there was nothing, i started walking when i suddenly felt the heat rise, i looked up to the sky and a dark cloud filled up the sky, the sun was now hiding behind the obscurity, the ashes started falling down from the sky and on to the ground again, the scream started again i could see people running everywhere, dying and trying to roll on the ground to stop the fire, but they would end up burning to death on the ground. I Started running away, when i looked down on my feet and fire started burning me. I Was on fire, in a few seconds my whole body was covered in flames, and i was not a part of the people running and screaming. I Looked at my arm and saw my skin almost melt off my own arm. My flesh was boiling on my bones. i fell on the ground, and stayed there screaming, i closed my eyes. And suddenly i heard a familiar voice .. i opened my eyes and Amber was standing on top of me looking at me, i sat down without saying a word and i looked around.. i was in the school library again. -

- For whatever reason Nick wanted to go to the school library today, so that is the first thing we did when we woke up. We were actually in route to the School now. We stopped the engine of the car in front, and we looked at the building, this place is ugly. As much as Death Hill is the best looking building still standing, well the locust elementary and high school at the 576 Locus avenue is one of the ugliest and worst looking building. We pushed the entrance door and started to walk around the school, Centralia was a small town so it was rather easy to find out where the small library was. Nick started looking at books on the shelf and everything. Wow, he should be training for his match with Donzig and this is what he decide to do of his time instead. Donzig live literally a couple of hours away in Pitts, he could simply kick his ass now, and kick his ass again when they fight in Fort Collins. Why want to read a book .. amazing -

- He was looking at a book on a table from far away, he started walking toward the table and suddenly i saw a dictionary fly from one side of the library to the other, and it nailed Nick right on the head and he fell down on the ground unconscious. I Tried to look around and after a while i spotted Kory Keegan holding Billy in his hand looking at me all shocked. I Walked over to Keegan and slapped him in the face, and he started half-crying -

Amber Valentine :
What the Hell are you doing Keegan ? What was that for you idiot ?

Kory Keegan :
I Am .. No Stop it Billy it's me talking now. Stop it Billy no.. I Am just doing what .. NO ! I Said stop it Billy .. I Am just doing what Damien Asked me too. He said he saw your car leave for the school so he gave me this book, told me to place it on the table, and once Daniels see the book he told me the Knock Daniels out and leave. So i did now.. BILLY STOP IT ! NO ! No now .. i have to go. Sorry Amber NO BILLY ! Sorry but Damien said it was important to do so. Don't worry he will be fine for his match against Mr. Revolution,formerly Mister Onslaught, formerly Mister Tuesday Night, formerly the Hardcore Incarnate,formerly  the Greatness,formerly the Once and Future Undisputed British Champion of the World,formerly the American Destroyer. Way way tooo many Nickname .. Billy and I Had to memorize all those.. stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid,stupid.. Damien said it is to help Daniels we did that. I Have to go Now..BILLY STOP I AM ALMOST DONE ! STOP IT ! NO ! NO ! STOP IT ! HAAA BYE !

- Keegan started running in the library now dragging Billy's face on the ground while he jump by the window he probably came in by. I Looked at him leave before going over to see if Nick was alright. I Kneed next to him and started talking to him to see if he would hear him, it took him a good 2 minutes before coming back to his sences. He looked at me really weird. And he sat down and started looking around everywhere like crazy, he sprung back up and looked at the book that was on the table next to him ... the book he wanted to see earlier. He smiled and started to shake his head, he turned around and headed for the exit, i caught up with him and asked him what it was .. what was the book. He strangely smiled looked at me and said '' The History of Pompeii '' ..... ''

[ The concept of death as a sentient entity has existed in many societies since the beginning of history. In English, Death is often given the name Grim Reaper and, from the 15th century onward, came to be shown as a skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. It is also given the name of the Angel of Death or Devil of Death or the angel of dark and light stemming from the Bible and Talmudic lore. In some cases, the Grim Reaper can actually cause the victim's death, leading to tales that he can be bribed, tricked, or outwitted in order to retain one's life. Other beliefs hold that the Specter of Death is only a psycho pomp, serving to sever the last ties between the soul and the body and to guide the deceased to the next world without having any control over the fact of the victim's death ]
