The letter said one thing "River Styx". And that is all Darkchild needed to know for the end of something he started many years ago was drawing near. He knew that the place was somewhere his powers would be amplified total darkness and the blackest of places. The wayward journey to the gates of hell would their fighting grounds. The centuries of fighting would either continue or end after today. His mind riddled with thoughts and choices over the years he never has been able to gain victory in any of his fights with this one creature this one man of darkness. The man showed little fear of Darkchild, but he also was the closest Darkchild would ever have to family. From his humble beginnings Darkchild has fought this man for what seems like eons.
As Darkchild sits in the boat guided by the figure of death rowing the boat he remembers all the fights. The days turned to scorched nights their powers feeding off each other, his right arm still feels the mans darkness. The subtle move he used to allow Darkchild to regain the use of his arm, and even after his arm had finally healed the darkness that once occupied that space still lingers. He knows the fighter will use it to his advantage as he always has, using what he has given to Darkchild over the years to his advantage. First the powers he allowed Darkchild to absorb to heal his own body and soon the power that still sleeps within his body. Darkchilds eyes which are normally brown are black as the darkness around the him. His safety measure to ensure his powers dont go out of control taken off, his darkness powers are flowing from him in the air almost being absorbed by the fighter he will fight "Yes lead the way my friend." the darkness rolls around towards Darkchilds face and caresses it, as if the darkness is alive. He knows the dark energy down in the pits of hell are nothing like he has ever seen and or controlled. They power itself has a mind of itself and is drawn to both fighters.
Soon he arrives and steps off the boat paying the specter his toll, he turns and faces the man he has called brother,friend,and sworn enemy "Yes?" he says as if asking why Final Arrow brought him here.
