Prologue.
"Why me?Why did i let myself get talked into this?"The large dog muttered as he trudged through the snow,leading his pack home.
Suddenly..."Whoops!"
The ice gave way beneath him,throwing him into a pit...or crater.It was hard to tell before darkness consumed his vision and he blacked out.
*********************************************************************
"What the-?Ow,my aching head...."he said as he stood slowly,looking around. His team lay around him,and he had no way of knowing if they were dead or not.
Of course,the large black dog that was appearing to wake up in the center of the crater was his main concern,seeing as how he could be hostile.
"Stop!Who are you?How'd you get here?"the dog called out in what he hoped was a brave voice.
"You need not fear me."the large black dog answered.It took a few steps towards him,then faltered and collapsed into the snow.
*********************************************************************
The large black dog was heavy,but not too heavy.Hank struggled to lug him to the nearby cabin,as he had done with the others of his team.
He layed down by the fire,staring at the black dog curiously.The dog had on a large.black cloak,and had a white heart-diamond pattern on his chest.Otherwaise,his fur was all black.
"Don't you know its not polite to stare?"the dog mumbled,groggily sitting up.Hank jumped up,startled.
"Don't worry.I'm in no position to hurt you."the large dog said as he shook himself,trying to wake up."In fact,I believe I owe you for saving my life."
The dog stuck his paw out."My name is Sean."
Hank was suspicious,after all,this dog was a stranger.But he shook the other dog's paw,just the same."Mine's Hank.What were you doing out there?Why were you in that crater?"
Sean sighed,"Its a long story,so you might want to sit down."He lay down and stared into the flames,watching them grow and fall."I guess the begining is the best place to start,so..."
And so,the final story(For now...)began,and the ending might just surprise you.

Chapter 1:Dreams.
He was floating in a very dark space. He felt the cold hand,the one that he had helped so often in the past,before the world had become too complicated
He rested in its grip for a moment,feeling it familiarness,letting it comfort him.Then,he looked up,into the cold,unforgiving,unblinking eyes of Death himself.
Then,the scene changed.He lay in a cabin,the very same cabin he had watched himself "live" in for years now.Only something was different about this place.It felt more comfortable,more welcoming...like a home he realized.
Suddenly,a booming voice called out to him."Hello,my son.It has been a long time since we have seen you."Sean looked in the direction of the voice,to see to dogs,male and female,laying beside the fire.One,his father,looked exactly like him,except for the pattern on the chest.The other one was a large dog of the same type,only she was a reddish orange color.
"Mom?Dad?"Sean asked tentatively.
"Yes,son.You have met us once more,for you are on the verge of rejoining us.But it is not yet time.One day,maybe....But not now.For now,awaken.The world needs you once more.Without you,then..."
And with that, the room around Sean vanished,and he tumbled back to Earth,to his body,reentering it with a thud.
*********************************************************************
He woke up in cold sweat.He checked to make sure that everything was real.Did I just dream?Whats happening to me?I've never dreamt before!
He lay still for a few more moments,then stood and began his normal routine,when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Brenna?"He called out several times,never getting a reply.Thats when he remembered why...
Suddenly,he knew what he had to do."I guess its time I visited my old master a visit."he said.He reached under his bed and pulled out a box.Upon opening it,he took out a black silk robe,with a hood,of course.Been awhile since I used this old thing...

Chapter 2:Consulting Ol' Bones.
He was standing at the Deathforge,hammering away at a piece of metal."Hello,again.I was wondering when you'd be back,Jo-"He turned around and saw Sean.
Death didn't appear to have changed much.Same jet black hair,same black,souless eyes,and same weathered face,looking much like a farmer....a face you could trust.He was wearing jet black shorts,no shirt,and no shoes.He had the body of the Terminator(Also known as the Gorverner of California..".Before he got old...)
"Oh,hello again,Sean....Long time,no see."He said,smiling.But it was a hollow smile.The same kind Sean gave his former master and friend.
"Hello,Trevor.Or should I call you Death?"Again,Sean smile was hollow,but his eyes conveyed laughter,cruel and mocking though it was.
Death frowned and turned back to the forge."I assume you have come back to ask for my help?Or are you here to ask me to take you back?"His voice was deep and hollow,conveying no sympathy for Sean.
"Neither...and yet,both."Sean said,frowning.Somehow,it seemed that his former master knew more than just the past...But it didn't matter right now.He had a world to save."So,for the help....What'll it cost me?"
"Just a bit of your time."Death said with a knowing smile."So,your having girl troubles?And world troubles,I assume?Hahahaha,I always told you it wouldn't work out,that she'd be 'too good for you,and way too high and mighty!'Hahaha!But you never did listen to me,even when I was right.So,isthat why you want me to take you back?Or have you finally realised that you belong here,and not among the mortals who shun our kind?"The Deathforge faded away,to be replaced by a comfy setting,a fireplace,and a chair."Come,lay by the fire,so we may speak freely."
Sean eyed the place by the fire,covered by a scarlet red rug and surrounded by a deathly protection symbol,a raven inside a pentagram inlaid by a diamond.How many times had he seen souls sit in a chair next to Death,crying beside him at the thought of dieing.How many times had he done the same to animals of all sorts,telling them 'Your species is extinct' or 'Your family has no more descendents',or something equally tragic and sad.He had watched as their hearts broke(Again)or as they cried tears of joy and sorrow.He walked over and lay down,though,much to his former master's surprise.
"How quiant.Just like old times,right,Sean?"He laughed and held up his hand,as he began to change form.His libs became longer and thinner,as did his body.He grew from just under 6 feet to just over 8 feet,and his face grew long and solemn.His eyes grew a bit wider,and an apple appeared in his outstretched hand.He laughed,a harsh,,uch crueler laugh.
So good to be home,isn't it Sean?Death laughed within Sean's mind,using his control of his own black,abysmal world to control everything,and everyone within.He laughed once more,and it echoed in the vast,hollow cavern.

Thank you,thank you*Bows.*I'm thinking about making more stories after this,but this will be the last staring Sean and Farren together with major battles between them,I'm thinking.(Mostly because this will be the most epic,I hope.)But,if anyone feels differant,would like to make any suggestions,or just want to compliment me(Again,thanks,Soapy.I was kinda worried that I was losing people with my stories.),feel free to!

Chapter 2:A Long Walk off a Short Pier.
Libby woke up,startled and scared.Sean...She got up and walked outside,needing some fresh air.
"Hello,beautiful."Said a mysterious voice.
Libby turned around and came muzzle to muzzle with Delaun."Delaun?!What are you doing?!If Sean catches you,he'll-he'll..."Her sentence went unfinished as Delaun kissed her.
"I came here to get something off my chest...and for one night only.Please?"
Libby hesitated for a moment,then nodded as she let Delaun lead her inside.
*********************************************************************
Sean glared at the apparition that sat in the chair before him."You tried to stop me,tried to kill her so that I would stay...and yet,in the end.you were right."
Death sighed and rubbed his chin."I still think I would look better with a beard,don't you?"he asked,catching Sean completely off guard."You know, Sean, I went through the same thing."
"Y-y-you did?" Sean,asked,stunned.
"Yes.She was a lovely angel,destined for great things. She helped me through a lot.More then anything,I wanted her to be mine...but it wasn't meant to be.You see,Sean,when its all said and done,they're still angels....and we're still Fallen.Oh sure,if we ask for help,they'll help us,but theres a line between our worlds.We can never enter the realm of Heaven,just like they cannot enter my realm.And,no matter how hard you try,you will never be able to make her change her mind and stay with you.She....well,shes tasted power,and once that happens,you can never let it go. How about a game,Sean?Poker?Blackjack?"
Sean thought for a moment."Poker."A large card table appeared between the two,complete with cards and everything.
"Go ahead.Sit down.Order a drink,if you want."Death began to shuffle the cards as Sean thought for a moment.
"Ol' One-Eyed Jim's Special Blend,1734."Sean said.A large glass appeared.filling itself with the ancient brew.Sean picked up his cards and the game began.
"So...You loved an angel once....What happened?"
"She became an archangel.After learning what I had done to get kicked out of Heaven,she couldn't handle being with me anymore.I tried to explain to her that I had changed,but...some things just can't be let go.The last time I saw her was the fall of the Roman Empire.I was bringing in Julius Ceasar's soul,and she was working the Gates.All I recieved from her was one last kiss,and a wink,and she was gone,the gates slamming shut behind her.I was heart broken for a while,and took a vacation.I traveled the universe,then returned to Earth to learn some meditation and things like that.Full house."he added,laying his cards on the table.Sean held out two pair:5s and 3s.
"I win.Anyways,afterwards,I resumed my duties.Thats when you became my main dog,my newest Deathound.Not long after,for me,anyways,you left me for the promise of love.And now,here you are,as heartbroken as I was.Only this time,I warned you."
Sean thought long and hard on this as the game continued.Eventually,he began the conversation anew."So now what?My brother is still out there,trying to destroy the world.If I don't stop him.."
"Then stop him.Do whatever it takes!I'll help you however I can....but Sean,you still have to decide:Are you going to go back and try to win her heart,knowing that its in vain?Or will you come back to me,and be my Deathound once more?Don't decide now.I can wait."He smiled at Sean as he lay his cards on the table,once more winning the game.
Sean frowned,taking all the information in."Thank you,but I'll have to think on it."He lay his cards on the table as he grinned widely."Beat that!"he said,pointing to his cards.
Death grinned back and lay his cards on the table."Dead Man's Hand.I win."Sean looked stunned,but paid up and began to leave.
"Wait,Sean,one last thing."Death called,walking over to the large black dog."When you left,you forgot your calling card."he said,handing Sean a card with a King of Hearts and a King of Diamonds on opposite ends.
Sean took the card and glared at it.He then put it in the pocket of his cloak and walked out,leaving Death standing there,a sad look upon his ancient,withered face.
"Be careful Sean.Don't make the same mistakes I made."
*********************************************************************
As Sean walked down the long black tunnel,he began to hear the crossroads,the area where the fabric between the worlds was thin enough for angels,demons,and his kind to pass through without incident.Normally,you would hear a jumble of noises here,and it would be so loud you couldn't hear yourself think,but today,you could only hear music coming from the direction of Heaven.Curious,Sean followed the sound until he could hear it clearly.
Long Black Train,by Josh Turner.
Theres a long black train,
Comin' down the line,
Feedin' off the souls that are lost an' cryin',
Rails of sin,only evil remains,
Watch out,brother,for that Long Black Train.
Look to the heavens
You can look to the skies
You can find redemption
Staring back into your eyes
There is protection and there's Peace the same,
burnin' your ticket for that Long Black Train
'Cause there's vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train
There's an engineer on that Long Black Train,
Makin' you wonder if the ride is worth the pain,
He's just a waiting on your heart to say
Let me ride on that Long Black Train,
But you know there's vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the Lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And dont go ridin' on that Long Black Train
Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away,
It sounds so good
But I must stay away
That train is a beauty, makin' everybody stare
But its only destination is the middle of nowhere,
But you know theres vict'ry in the Lord I say,
Vict'ry in the Lord,
Cling to the Father and His holy name,
And don't go ridin' on that Long Black Train
I said cling to the Father and His holy name
And dont go ridin' on that long black train
Yeah, watch out brother for that long black train
That Devil's a drivin' that long black train.
Sean sat,mesmerized by the song.When it was finished,he shook off the last of its effects and rushed off down the tunnels,finding the way back to Earth.

Share Chapter 4: Surprise.
"Look, Libby, I...I can't do this anymore. It's just too much."Sean said, taking another gulp of his beer.
"But you have to, Sean! Theres no way around it. You're the only one who can save us! The only one who can beat Farren!"Libby said, feeling angrier by the second.
"Look, its over. I can't handle this anymore. I'm thinking about just returning to my old master. After all, he was right. Maybe next time, I'll listen to him."Sean said, glaring at the sky as though that might help. The heavens were silent, though, as oblivious to his glare as the ground he sat on.
Libby huffed her frustration."I can't believe you! Maybe Delaun was right, maybe you are getting soft. Maybe you should go back to him. You'd be better off there!"With that, she rushed off into the night.
Sean sighed and turned in his chair, watching her leave. He knew what she had done with Delaun while he was away last night. He always knew. He was always watching over his friends, as long as there were shadows nearby, he could see them. And most of them knew that.
Brenna watched Sean as he sat at the bar. She knew where he had gone that evening, though she hadn't been able to see him. She knew what he was considering.
She sighed. Even though she wished he wouldn't even consider the prospect, there was no way she could stop him.
Suddenly, she saw Sean glance up at her and nod, once. Then he vanished. But she had gotten the message. I'll be waiting for you.
She sighed and muttered, then vanished.
She found him, just like she had all those many months ago, when this had all started. Sitting on a cliff, watching the life they might have had. The life he thought they could still have, but never would. Not now.
"Did I ever tell you what my old master told me when I left that life?"Sean asked, not even looking at her.
"No. You didn't mention him much. Said it would bring back too many bad memories."Brenna said, walking up to sit beside him.
"He said that it would never work out between us. He said you would never be able to stay with me."He turns his head to glance at her, then returned to looking at the cabin in the valley below."It seems he was right, after all."
Brenna lay down beside him and began rubbing her head against his large side."I know you went to see him today. I couldn't watch you there, but I know."
Sean looked down at her and sighed."You're as beautiful as ever, Brenna."Suddenly, the picture below began to change, and Sean began to sing.
Don't That Make You Want to Fall in Love? By Kenny Chesney.
A little country church on a two lane road
A bride and groom coming out the door
White lace dress and a red bouquet
Just married written on a blue Chevrolet
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Old folks sittin' in a front porch swing
Still holdin' hands like they were sixteen
Fifty good years they're a lover's dream
Darlin' that could be you and me
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Don't that look like a picture of us
A match made in heaven if there ever was
Don't that make you want to fall
That just makes me want to give you my heart
Ever forever needs a place to start
Gotta be a sign from up above
Don't that make you want to fall in love
Yeah, yeah.
Don't that make you want to fall in love?
Brenna looked up at him and smiled, then moved closer to him, letting out a contented sigh before falling asleep.
Sean glanced at her and smiled, then looked back down on the cabin below, where he and Brenna were sitting on a porch, watching their small pups wander and play.
Sean returned to San Francisco to find that everything had changed. The entire city was pitch black, and he had a hard time finding his way back home for all the people in the streets. When he got there, he rushed straight to his room and took out a smaller version of the board he had played against his brother on months ago.
The map was now almost completely red, with only one black spot remaining, the place where it had all started.
Sean dropped the board in horror. He had thought the game was over, that he had won. He should have known better. The Forbidden Games were not finished until…
Sean couldn't bear to think about it. He knew, though, what he had to do. But could he? Death's words echoed in his ears.
You have a choice to make, Sean. Will you choose correctly?
Sean glared down at the board. The small black patch that signified his last stand was clear, the place where it had all started, the place where good and evil had been created…and then death, afterwards, to keep the other two in check.
The one place I swore I would never to. Well played, brother.
He moved the last remaining black dog statuette over to hover above the point and smiled. Check mate. he thought, then placed the piece on the black spot on the map.
Stonehenge. How quaint, brother, that you wish to return to the place of evil's greatest defeat.
Farren watched the board, knowing what was to come. When he saw the black piece begin to move, he smiled.
"I told you, brother. I will never forget."
With that, he called for Belladonna. "Get our troops ready to march. My brother has started moving."
When Farren glanced down at the board, he was recalling what had happened that fateful day.
Flashback
Stonehenge, Europe. 4.5 billion years ago.
"Alright, brother, it is agreed. You will have Hell, I shall have Heaven. I shall create my own mortals, you will create your own planet." The two tall men shook hands in agreement, both knowing that it wouldn't last long, but both unwilling to raise the subject.
"Alright, then. But shouldn't someone make sure we don't mess with each other's kingdoms?"
"Yes, we probably should…" And so, they created Death, who agreed to their terms, figuring he had gotten the better end of the deal by remaining on Earth and ferrying souls. Had he only known….
End of Flashback.
Farren smiled. Soon, that will all change. No one will be there to stop me from entering Heaven and avenging my master. I pity Sean, but he made his choice. Now he will die for it.
Farren's laughter echoed off down the halls.

Chapter 5: The Warrior Once More.
Sean stood on the docks down by the bay, watching as the storm rolled in. Farren… So, you're back. This time, you'll have no mercy from me.
He turned from the docks even as the storm hit, swallowing everything in its path, destroying the docks and taking a portion of the city out to sea even as it pelted the shore with hail and rain. Animals and humans alike ran for cover as hail the size of softballs slammed into anyone unfortunate enough to get caught in the open, knocking them unconscious if it didn't kill them first.
Sean walked on, seemingly impervious to the hail and rain. He felt the stares of people and animals alike as he walked down the road, his cloak hiding his face even as the wind tried to blow it off.
So, we go to end it. To end this war, finally. I shall avenge you, brother. You deserve that much.
He arrived at his apartment near the heart of the city an hour later. The storm had worsened, the hail grown to the size of small watermelons, even as the wind lashed out, leaving marks on those who had no protection from its biting force.
He closed the door behind himself, knowing before even turning around that he was not, in fact, in his apartment. "A storm, Farren? That is how you seek to drive me from my stronghold? Pathetic. I had assumed you would try harder."
Farren grinned evilly. "It was the only way I could think of without being there myself. I'm too busy preparing for a siege to do anything more."
"So you assume that I will come to you willingly? Why? Why shouldn't you come to me?"
Farren smiled, as evil a smile as Sean had ever seen. "Why, my dear Sean, haven't you figured it out yet? I'm going to destroy Heaven! Surely you must care…"
Farren thingyed his head curiously. "Or… Are the rumors true? Did she finally give up on you?" Farren smoothly stepped up beside Sean, looking at him with pity and concern. "Oh, my dear brother. Your love has forgotten you, gone on to where the power lies." A sudden smile replaced his frown. "Well, then, I'll have no trouble from you!"
Sean glared at his brother. "Oh, but you will. I still love her, for now at least. I won't allow you to kill her."
Farren chuckled. "Then we have a new game? Capture the Castle, I believe?"
As he spoke, a new table appeared, this time, it showed a castle, built on a mountain, with a valley below. A pair of dice appeared. Farren picked them up and tossed them to Sean.
"Your move, brother. Make it a good one." Farren let out an evil laugh as the room faded away. Sean stood in his own apartment, the dice still clutched in his paw.
My move? I'll make it good, alright, brother.
Libby was awoken by the sound of a ringing phone. She reached over groggily, feeling for the phone with her paw and finding it on the third ring. "Hello?" she asked wearily.
"Libby, get up. We've got an emergency. Rally the troops. Gather as many forces as you can. We need all the help we can get."Sean's voice sounded angry, yet hollow.
Libby didn't dare ask why. She simply hung up the phone and began dialing.
Sean once more looked out on the valley where the cabin of his and Brenna's dreams had been created and forgotten, abandoned to the wild.
We're a lot alike, you and I. he thought as he looked over the cabin. Forgotten, but not forgiven. Something that could have been, a part of a dream shattered.
The cabin seemed to creak and groan in response, but Sean knew better. He knew better then to expect a response from the cabin. Still, it was nice to imagine, to think, to hope.
Sean sighed. I shouldn't be here. I should forget her, forget this place. But… I can't.
Sean fell to the grass and stared at the cabin a few moments longer, then began to stand and walk around the cabin, inspecting everything.
He would never get over her, he knew. But he could try.
He sighed once more and began walking back towards the cliff overlooking the valley.
THE LAST COWBOY SONG
Written by: Ed Bruce & Ron Peterson
Performed by: Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson
Appears on: Highwayman-1985, The Highwayman Collection-2000, et
al.
This is the last cowboy song.
The end of a hundred year waltz.
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along.
Another piece of America's lost.
He rides the feed lots, clerks in a market,
On weekends sellin' tobacco and beer.
And his dreams of tommorrow surrounded by fences,
But he'll dream tonight of when fences weren't here.
He blazed the trail with Lewis and Clark,
And eyeball to eyeball old Wyatt backed down.
He stood shoulder to shoulder with Travis in Texas,
And rode with the Seventh when Custer went down.
This is the last cowboy song.
The end of a hundred year waltz.
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along.
Another piece of America's lost.
Remington showed us how he looked on canvas,
And Louis Lamour has told us his tale.
Me and Johnny and Waylon and Kris sing about him,
And wish to God we could have ridden his trail.
The old chisom trail is covered in concrete.
And they truck 'em to market in fifty foot rigs.
They roll by his marker and don't even notice.
Like living and dieing was all he ever did.
This is the last cowboy song.
The end of a hundred year waltz.
The voices sound sad as they're singin' along.
Another piece of America's lost.
This is the last cowboy song.
The end of a hundred year waltz…
Sean sighed and let his head fall, breathing deeply before looking back to the sky and howling, a long, low, sad sound.
Is it really a new game, Farren? Or are you just toying with me?
He shook his head before falling to the ground. He knew in his heart this would be the last time he ever saw this place, and he wanted to make sure he remembered it correctly.

Chapter 6:The Beginning of the End.
Sean glared at the ground that was before him, then looked up at the dog on an opposite cliff, overlooking the same deep valley that Sean's did, a valley with only one way in or out, a valley of ice and snow, with a large ice fortress sitting at the end. In the future, this valley would bear witness to greatness. The rise of kings, the fall of empires. But before all that, it would serve as bastion of evil on Earth, and the first living beings to set foot on it would also be the first to leave their blood on it, the first to give it its name: Blood Bath Bastion, a glacial mountain, surrounded by a deep gorge, somewhere in the Arctic.
"So, brother, it has come to this. Your forces will be here in a matter of months, ready to give their live, in vain, to stop an evil they cannot begin to fathom. And you, who has lived so long, who has survived many things, will die with them." The large red dog on the cliff opposite of Sean smiled. "Yet... You hesitate. Are you considering your master's offer? Will you return to him, stay by his side, and forget this fight? You know you cannot stop me. By this time, two months hence, Heaven will fall, and I shall reign supreme. Your master will be safe, as will you and any other dogs wise enough to join you. So, can you do it? Can you abandon this world, leave it to its fate?Or are you a fool, as I said?"
Sean stayed silent, and Farren's grin broadened. "It seems you may be wise, after all. Death has given you a way out, Sean. Use it! We were once friends! We both disliked Heaven for what it had made us! I have the power to change that! And nothing you do can stop me! Accept that! Give in."
Sean stared at the ground a moment longer, then shook his head and turned his back to Farren. "No matter what happens, no matter what I choose, things can never be the same brother, and you know it."
With that, the shadows swallowed Sean up, and he vanished. Farren stared after him a moment, then sighed, slumping his shoulders. "Please,Sean. I don't want to have to hurt you. Don't get in my way."
Farren turned to walk back into the building, a door appearing from the seemingly solid ice, then sealing itself shut behind him.
*********************************************
Libby grabbed her helmet and tugged it on, pulling the straps tight. She looked out over the small group of volunteer dogs she'd been assigned to train and sighed. We have enough troops, though I fear many will die in battle. But it will mean nothing if Sean does not fight beside us!
She shook her head and sighed, then picked up her sword and walked down the stairs to the troops waiting below.
************************************************
Brenna watched the proceedings on Earth sadly. The evacuation of Heaven had already begun. It was almost inevitable that Farren would break through. Sean was not strong enough, no single dog was, to stand up to the demon dog's great power. If Sean and the Canine Director of Heavenly Duties would pair up, they would have a chance, but... Everyone knew Sean would not help save Heaven. He had no reason to. Heaven had taken everything he had ever loved. and more, as well.
Brenna sighed, and continued packing. All the dogs in the world wouldn't be enough to stop Farren now. It was over.
************************************************
Delaun watched as another town fell victim to Farren's army as it marched to the ice castle. Another freak accident, or so it would say in the Russian papers...If they still had those, of course. Most of the residents had been rescued, but he could still hear the pained screams of those who hadn't as they were torn limb from limb, reassembled, then tortured again. He shuddered, wrapped his cloak tighter around him, and vanished.

A/N I may edit this chapter later, but... Anyways, the poll is up, I'm going to make a thread for the battle, where you can sign up to be in Sean's army, and I always love reviews!
