2021-09-28 22:52:22It was a sunny morning in Oregon as Jason dragged his sleepy feet to the bathroom staring at the mirror,
yep, same old me he thought as he wore his glasses, not that he needed the glasses anyways, just to disguise his look. Not really understanding why himself, just because his aunt told him he had to keep low from everyone at school, with a snort to himself he stretched, he wasn't even popular at school!.
Putting off the glasses, he entered the tub and switched on the tap as warm water gushed out of soothing his bones as he gave a sigh of relief, closing his eyes. The water was a little bit hot,
it would pay a lot better if it were cooler, he thought
it might had been his mind playing tricks on him but Jason could had sworn the heat of the water reduced…. he would later wish it was his mind
somewhere else.....
A man moved at a speed that would cause the nearest checkpoint officer to rethink his report of the day. He jumped over a car, twisting and turning has he slid behind a shop, one hand clutching the bleeding wound at his side. With a look of grim determination he gathered momentum, bursting out behind the shop and tore into a forest, his heart thudded heavily within him, not fast enough he thought franticly as a high pitch laughter rung around him.
Entering a clearing as dark shadows surrounded him in columns, he stretched his arm, watching as runes in gold fazed into existence, calling a silver looking blade also into existence as it glittered in the sunlight. The shadows stepped back obviously irritated by the light, he glanced around looking for someone, he isn't here he thought happily, his mind beginning to create the happy thought that his assailant had lost track of him, but only for a second as a man in a dark long sleeve cotton shirt stepped out of the shadows.
Dark hair with a trench coat as the darkness seemed to cling to his very being, the shadows making a hissing sound as though they were sentient. His eyes glowed red, vertically slitted like those of a cobra, and a smile that revealed fangs that gleamed, this was no human evidently…
He twirled two knives in his hand with a grin plastered on his face,
"hello guardian, fancy meeting you in Texas. What do you want?" he asked, his dripping hunger and disdain, but most of all hate, a feeling that was reciprocated by the man who was called a guardian
The guardian stepped back, face passive as he bit back a reply, his gaze solely focused on the creature in human flesh who stood between him and his goal. He couldn't allow them to know why he was here, doing that would be condemning the whole of his realm to death. He consciously felt the jewel in his pocket while staring at the man who clung to shadows, he had to get it away from him, had to find the prince. The shadow man stared at the pocket, his grin slowly edging away and at once came back,
"the jewel of artemon" he stated,
"How convenient of you to deliver it to us, we were about to go searching for it" he said,The guardian turned the sword in his hand and, gripping it tight as he made a vertical slash, a line of burning light called forth from the blade towards the shadow man who hissed in pain while dodging and only receiving a glancing blow to the arm which sizzled in head. That distracted the leader as he removed the gem from his pocket murmuring to it,
" aeto, collectus, illummino, elixtu" he said as the gem flared up and vanished.The shadow man let out a horrifying scream that tore through the day as he ran towards the guardian in a clash of blades, the shadows gaining sentience as they morphed morphed into humanoid creatures and stepped into the battle.
the guardian pressed forward, blade glinting as he twisted and turned, dodging strikes from the show men while dishing out deadly attacks of his ow. However, he was one man, a bleeding one at that, and he still had a mission to fulfill, and with that thought he decided to go straight for their leader. The being whipped so fast he seemed like a blur to the guarding, paying a deadly strike by the guardian to its neck as it gripped the sword arm of the guardian, breaking the bones to splinters despite the scream of pain the guardian let out. The shadow men wasted to time in piercing the body of the guardian with blades conjured out of the darkness, bringing him to his knees.The guardian turned his gaze up to the back of the shadow leader, to a place where Jason was suddenly standing, eyes wide in shock. The guardian smiled, coughing blood and thanking the gods that it was just a projection. Gripping a medallion, he whispered a short spell, feeling the gem appear in the hands of Jason and with that final act he smiled, Ikir he murmured, somehow clearly enough for Jason to hear,
“save us ikir” he said as a blade came down decapitating his had in one swing. Jason screamed as the shadow being turned to his behind, eyes wide in shock at how someone could had snuck up to him with his notice. His eyes went to hand of Jason where a golden gem was held,
“who are you?” he growled as in a burst of speed he appeared in jasons front, gripping his throat,
Jason grabbed the beings’ hand as golden light burst forth out of the gem in a blade like form, cleanly searing off the hand of the being who hissed in pain and immediately retreated,
“who are you for the jewel of Artemon heeds your call?” he shouted,
Jason stepped back, closing his eyes and praying for whatever nightmare this was to end. Could this be stress?, anxiety for his coming exams?, whatever this was he needed out and fast cause he was pretty sure that man in his front did not like him one bit!. The man sniffed the air, eyes widening,
“you reek of aratian blood, royal blood…. impossible” he said, eyes widening,
“what are you?” Jason said, steeling his nerves,
The man smiled slowly, realization of who was standing in his front slowly seeping into his brain,
“the prince?, the lost prince?” he laughed throatily,
“the fuck are you talking about?” Jason said,
“you don’t even know?, not to worry…ikir” the man said scornfully, not with the same reference the guardian had used,
“now that I have your scent, we will come for you…. Jason elixtu…soon” he growled as he lunged for Jason who screamed in fear, a bright light enveloping him, eyes opening under water as he struggled to surface.
After coughing the water out of his lungs, he stood up grabbing his towel and stepping out of the tub. Breathing heavily as his heart thudded heavily in his chest, what was that dream, could it even be called a dream?
Who were those people?
The guardian….
The shadow being and his shadow creatures…
What was that gem?...
And why had that man called him Jason elixtu?
Who was elixtu?......
Getting up from the floor and managing to stand upright, he faced the mirror, to meet a pair of glowing golden eyes, well his eyes. About to shout, his gaze went to the table where a golden gem sat, glowing in proximity to him,
“oh lord” he whispered

Curiosity drove Jason towards the gem that shone brightly in the early morning sun, it called on him, dragging him towards itself. He reached tentatively, picking it up gently. On both sides of the gem were inscriptions in a language that was vaguely familiar to him, not like any known language he knew of or he’d seen before, but for some reason he couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was supposed to understand the language, like deep down in his mind that language was locked. It beckoned on him to read it out and soon he was caught up in it, "Florea varecto illummino scythe-" "JASON!, what's taking so long!" his aunt called from the kitchen cutting him Midway through whatever spell the gem had put him under, Shaking his head to clear his mind of the haze he was in, he dropped the gem, moving farther away from it as he felt his mind race, what was he doing?, what had he just stumbled upon? and how the fuck did he get into this

Jason sat in the class, bringing out his iPod trying listening to music in a fruitless effort to tune out the noise of his classmates, he could barely hear the lyrics. Feeling someone tap him on the shoulder as he turned in response, in his front were the only two friends he had in the school. A tall chocolate skinned girl and a gruffly looking boy with dark hair sat smiling at him, he managed a smile, "so, what’s bothering you?" the girl asked, Terra, his brown haired female best friend was a bombshell, category A disaster class if she walked down the hall way during recess, Jason was pretty sure half the school football team wanted to date her and the nerds would have her featuring in their fantasies almost on a daily basis. Terra rectir was tall, bright blue eyes, full lips, a shape to die for and had the brains to back it off as she was the schools leading student in their science department, he had seen more than a few girls give her the stink eye as she walked

To Jason, the next few a second were a blur to him. All he knew was that he had to save his hide from whatever creature the shadows were, a quick glance at his left showed daren in wolf form, clawing at a fellow wolf, only darker and more ferocious. On his right was terra, skilfully wielding the blades and slashing at the shadow warrior, which left him with their leader. He held on to the poker stick that was used to start the furnace at home, the leader was obviously irritated by the parring of his strokes with his blade, he moved to the kitchen area and dodged a blow that would've cleaved his head off, the man grunted and moved forward when a loud whine was heard, the man turned, the shadow wolf turned to wisps of smoke as terra pushed it through the window, the leader screamed in rage and that gave Jason the edge that he needed as he swung the fry pan with its hot content on the bald headed man, he screamed in a mixture of pain and rage as his s

The sun rose high in the sky, brightening the way and everything in it. Although one can't say the same for the residents of cadesway street, the whole area looked eerily quiet, like they felt the darkness that invaded them the day before. The newspaper boy rode about delivering papers on people’s thresholds, only him and the wind walked the road. No.4 of the particular street looked strange for a start, neighbours never asked around who lived there, like it gave off bad vibes. Of course, if they knew that was where the darkness that sufficed into their lives came from, they would have a different say on the matter. The windows were locked from the inside, the blinds were drawn and the door looked like it was being worked on by a wood carver of some sorts. Inside was a whole new story, despite attempts to clean the house up, traces of a serious fight still lin

Jason stared hard at the faery, he hopped about while whistling a tune jason was unfamiliar with. He turned to terra who nodded, this was the creature who Rumpelstiltskin was fashioned after," er faery?... Rumpelstiltskin?" He said," you could call me that ikir, or four hundred other names that justify me from the twelve realms" he replied pouring a powder that daren said to be fairy dust on the ground. Jason stepped forward,"Then you know why we're here" jason said,"By all means ikir, you and your protector with your...." He stopped looking at terra as a sly smile curved up his lips,"Interesting, very interesting don't you think?, terra of house rectir" he said, Jason turned to terra, she shrugged,"What's he talking about?" He asked her, " don't know, he must have seen something" she replied, Jason bit back the reply that pushed at his

Derora rode down the hill top on her retoode, a one eyed, six limbed reptile with scaly armour as thick as metal. Its viciousness was what bonded derora to the beast of the abyss, it could trace the scent of its prey from over a mile away, that was what made it the perfect hunting creature.The roads to Vulpix were rather long and stressful, even though she took a set of veratus with her who if course do not tire or relent from their mission, it would be good if she could track the prince down in a record time.That's why she took the shortest route, the forests. Travelers don't pass the route she did due to the dark creatures that roamed the parts and the plants that devoured flesh since the rise of marxis.They didn't disturb her though, it was like they felt the anger and darkness she possessed, even the veratus kept their distance. Perhaps they were afraid of marxis rage if the mission wasn't successful.She flinched at the t

The word still rang in his head,"Bloodbonded",It had almost been a minute since he heard those words, aether knows he was seriously confused. Daren sat by the tree trunk with a very calm look, jason turned to terra,"It's a long story, the short version was that we were young and stupid, we did a stupid thing and it bonded us together" she rushed,His voice hung in my throat, after a while he talked,"How close is the bond?" He asked,"I can feel what you feel and hear your thoughts if you want, to sum it all I'm meant to be your other half" she said, Jason raked his hand through his hair exhaling, that was what illummino and the rest couldn't say, now he saw why. She was his....mate?,No,that'ssoundsanimalic,he thought,A thought clicked in his head,"How's that possible?, I've never be

It had almost been ten minutes later since daren watched over terra and jason still in the trance they were. He studied them closely and smiled, Theyactuallyfit!He thought, The only problem was neither wanted to accept, it was like they felt guilty for it, he knew the magnetic feeling they had for each other since the beginning, Aratia enhanced the feelings, it was like a driving force between them, he at least hoped they would realise they were meant for each other before it was too late. His head snapped towards the direction of vulpix, smoke rose from the distance, the smell of burning wood slowly saturating the air, his keen shifter nose catching it as it came, it didn't look like a festival fire..no, more like things were burning. Realisation seeped into him, he looked frantically at his friends, whatever they were doing, they better hurry, they were in danger... C'monterra......

That was when his senses kicked in, the memories of the fight,Derora,Aether,Marxis,Hisdeath,Jason opened his eyes to a shinning palace, a single golden throne in the middle with men in hooded gold cloaks with hoods surrounding it, and on the throne was a face he would never forget,"Illummino" jason whispered,He radiated love and affection,"Jason alecto elixtu" he said,Immediately jason felt energy course through his body as he stood up, his body stronger, his sight sharper as he gasped,"You have ascended jason" he said,Jas

Many people who knew jason for who he truly was nodded and the whispers of "ikir" filled the air, he smiled, even though Marxis might be the ruler, this was one thing he could never have, the respect of the people, strange considering the fact that they loathed and loved his father.Finally, jason saw Marxis in front, dressed in what looked like a silly blue ro

JASON Jasonwas asleep in his cell, Or so he tried, He could not bring himself to sleep, aside from the fact that the cell was filthy, reeked of blood, not his for the most part and he slept on nothing but bare ground that was cold, it was like his essence was pulling at him to cleanse the whole palace of any filth that resided there. And it got worse when herega arrived, I could barely keep myself from remaining dormant, with nothing to do, jason often wondered how he would cope when he was in the same room with her. Then came the explosions in the castle, from the rumors down here it seemed like herega and derora had a fall out. It seemed like the perfect opportunity was presenting itself, it was a matter of time before jason got

DERORAThe doors of the throne room opened as derora stepped in. She had returned the prince to Marxis the day before, now was time for the mage to fulfil his part of the deal. Not that she would not kill him in the end, marxis was too cunning a threat to be left alive, but derora needed to make sure no one found the parchment ever again. The useless piece of paper contained the only thing that could serve as her death,It had the last piece of her soul.Derora had once been a living being, a human warrior bordering the wastelands to the north of the loup de sang territories, not much people knew that piece of history, and she preferred to keep it that way. If any other creature could get their hands on it, it could spell her doom and she for one would like

He could only open one eye, the only sound he could hear were the dripping of water, he narrowed his eyes to see better in this dark dungeon. Yes, jason was finally at the palace. That much he knew. The only source of light was the small square window that fed little rays into this place, jason assessed himself. He was downright filthy, his cloth had the smell of blood on it. His hands were chained to the wall, jason sighed and closed his one good eye, he fought the urge to scream in pain and sadness, but this was for the good of the realm, I,thesacrificeofAratia, With a heavy sigh rumbling in his chest jason laid back on the g

DERORA Shestood in front of the cave, a look of satisfaction drawn all over her face. The prince and his cohorts were trapped inside the cave, it was all a matter of time till he came to face his fate. The energy blast he did affected deroras ability to summon the abyss, the rest of the creatures she created were gone, a few remained, the ones who fought the light until the very end. She looked at her hand as she tried to summon a black orb of energy, it only produced wisps of smoke and disappeared with the wind, she frowned, he also took something from her, she couldn't feel her full powers again, whatever magic he did must had affected her system. Derora heard the sounds of footsteps moving towards her direction, at least she could feel the energy print of the creature. Detok stood by her side, his armour gleaming in the sun like that of an executioners which he
