It was another game versus Cairo City and most importantly against TERMINUS ULTIMUS, and Santori managed to score the 1-0 for Athênai in the 11th minute; now if you know of Santori’s professional career you will know that this is a bad thing as he has always lost a game in which he scored.
And then suddenly it was once again all darkness and once again shadows all around him screamed of desperation, but this time Santori knew where he was, and why he was there, although he still didn't know how he arrived there.
And then the same voice of last time said:”
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I TERMINUS ULTIMUS DON'T GIVE SECOND CHANCES, YOU ARE FAST AS THE WIND AND YOUR MIND IS AS SHARP AS A KNIFE, AND DESPITE WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU LAST TIME, YOU STILL CAME AND SCORED ON THE PITCH YOU ARE EITHER STUPID OR COURAGEOUS; YOU WILL BE ONCE AGAIN BE TEMPORARILY SECLUDED IN THE REALM OF THE WRETCHED SOULS I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE COMPANY; JUST REMEMBER THAT NEXT TIME I WON’T BE SO MERCIFUL”.
And once the voice stopped a figure appeared, it wasn't one of the shadows, he wasn't screaming but it seemed like it wanted to, it stood in its place terrified; when Santori came closer to it he recognised his teammate Steele, so that the company that TERMINUS meant.
Santori wanted to reassure the teammate that everything was fine, but in the shadow realm your lips are shut and you simply can’t talk.
Then Santori woke up in the Athênai nursing and asked the medic: ”what happened this time?”, to which the medic replied:”Mister Santori you got tackled a little to hard and it broke one of your leg, thankfully for you medicinal science as made huge steps in this field and an injury like this that would have stopped you for months only stops you for a couple of days, you will be dismissed tomorrow”.
Santori then saw that in the bed next to his was Steele and asked what happened to him to which the doctor replied:”Mister Steele was tackled a little to hard and hitted his face hard on the ground, he will be dismissed as soon as he wakes up”
Santori then looked at his phone and looked at the result of the game and saw that Athênai had won 4-2, once again there was no replay of how he or Steele were fouled, but it didn’t matter Athênai won and Santori got his first win in which he scored.
He then saw Steele wake up pale as if he saw a ghost, Santori could have told him that he knew about what the shadow realm but he thought to himself:” I don't want to traumatise the rookies”.
