Pursued by a terrible beast, he knew only one place where he could slow it down just in enough time to find a solution to stop it. To travel through limbo itself and find a way out, hopefully before it could.

This beast was the Dahakaa, guardian of time and corrector of mistakes. I should've died long before stepping on God's doorsteps, it was there to revert everything as it should've been and he would've done so by annihilating my very existence and the time i lived on. There is not to be mistaken here, this was no act of cruelty, but of restoration of order.

As i stepped through the fog i opened my eyes on a mysterious island, a place i would learn it to be, God's Doorsteps. But something was wrong, very wrong, there was no peace or armony, only dread and death awaiting.

### Description and Details

Kanshi's Portrait

Ishkan was the name of the Prince of Persia, an excellent fighter that had no match. Very few people knew he was born without sight but still, he was able to fight and conquer any enemy.

Nightmares, visions, unexplainable sights were haunting the Prince both day and night, he thought he was going mad, perhaps one too many battles? That it is what drove him to the Wisest Man of the Empire. He talked and looked like he understood what it was happening. **"A terrible beast is hunting you throughout your dreams and nightmares, the name is Dahakaa, it is and will always be the emperor of time, corrector of mistakes. It will also start looking for you outside of them and will find you, behind every corner, behind every shadow, behind every mirror, there is no escape, no man can escape his destiny forever."** Visions of a ship at sea, of terrible and vicious battles, a no-man castle, and that beast always chasing me, always finding me **"You were right, old man. what it could all mean?"** The wise man was able to explain everything he knew, there was an island where time itself was created, non other than the same place the Terrible Beast was born. **"These Visions could it be destiny?"** That Castle was the only place where it could be stopped.

Kanshi was a simple man, living a simple life. Abroad the Prince's ship was able to make a living, although dangerous there was nothing better to be asked for at the time, working and fighting alongside the Prince of Persia. Very young at age, he found mentoring and friendship not only by his side, but also amongst the ship's crew. Kanshi is an anagram for Ishkan, it translates to "France" and nobody knew they were the exact same man, neither did the Prince at the time, a traveler from a distant future.

Sailing at sea, the found nothing but death. A storm approached from afar, a storm like no other, it almost looked unnatural. The ship was hit by thunders and sails destroyed, burning down. Looking like there were not to be any salvation, all they could do was pray to God. A ship approached from the darkness, it looked Persian but ancient, they were assaulted by unknown enemies, dressing like demons.

   There was a fierce battle, almost every crew member lost their lives that day. The ones that made it would then ashore on the island alongside, but distant from the Prince. Boarding the enemy ship he would soon find out their commander, she looked like a woman dressed in armor and high heels. He fought his way through and throughout soon realizing he would have not been the first one to reach the ship's wheel, where the commander was waiting. Kanshi got there before he could being no match for her, dying at the first strike. What kind of power was she beholding to kill a man with a swift move like that? Still, neither the Prince was any match for her, a swift swipe to the face and a consecutive kick threw him out, into the waters.

The next thing he knew once regaining consciousness, was that he woke on the shores of God's Reign. Something he didn't realize at first, but he had reached what he believed it to be the Island of time. The crew was no-where to be seen, dread and terror filled the air, distant screams would invade a tomb's silence.

This is where he would meet his fate, just like the Old Man had said, he found nothing but death.

That's where the first travel would end.

# **A Journey throughout time**

## The First Journey

Reign of God

Kanshi would be something close to a time traveler, he shored on God's Doorsteps for the saim reason Prince Ishkan did. It was something close to a point in time which connected all of his ancestors and descendants. This island and castle wasn't clear to anyone at first, the Old Man said it to be simply the island where time itself was created. Was the Dahakaa hunting all of ancestors and descendants or only Prince Ishkan?

Once regaining consciousness he pushed himself forward, not knowing what was awaiting. Nightmares.

Meeting his doom. **"The medallion, it's ringing.. what is this glow? Can it be?"** An ancient and powerful tool able to manipulate time itself, gifted from the very Old Man himself. The warriors on the island fought like demons, an unstoppable and unnatural force, their eyes were glowing like candle lights, leaving a trail like sand.

He kept pushing forward and fighting, demons getting ever so powerful and the castle getting closer and closer. A time guardian was roaming freely just outside of it, a giant in armor, impossible fight to win and the medallion slowly running out until the final blow.

## **The Second Jorney**

That's when Kanshi opened his eyes, shored on the same Beach, facing the same pathway and destiny.
