Chapter Seven: The Return of Olivia Finn; Part 2

Loud stomps made the ground shake and develop shallow fissures. They had come from stermons; scaly one-eyed monsters. They were known as guardians of the underworld and also one of the lords of destruction. Five Gigantic stermons that have the same height with four-story apartments, marched forward to the capital city of England: LONDON.​ Above them were winged skeletons, with assorted deformities on their bones. They were not that demotic to be known by man, since they never showed up in front of man; but now they can. They flapped their bat wings while they were black-colored nymphs holding death's head in a black wand flew to the stermons and rode them. Henceforth, military tanks and infantries stood next to a wall of sandbags. 

A week before, a group of vampires attacked a village in the USA. Not knowing what is going in, the president of the USA asked the presidents of every country to place military forces on every border of every country and village. 

Now, let us go back to the present.

A soldier stared below him, the simple crack of line in the road grew bigger and bigger. As he watches in terror, his legs trembled and made his body shake; accidentally dropping his gun in one of the fissures. He followed his comrades running to the tanks and tested their luck by jumping on the tanks while numerous fissures followed them with a speed. The stermons hit the sandbag wall. The winged companions of the stermons dashed their way and snatched some soldiers that didn't make it.

The road split open and the buildings shatter to their knees as more stermons approach out of the smoke. Nymphs raised their wands and formed a circle in a London square. The flapping of the wings of the winged skeletons created a dust devil that covered the atmosphere with dust fog making the soldiers have limited sight. 

“Abort! Abort! We need to retreat!” Screamed by a soldier, sweating as he stares at the controls with warning signs. 

“We can’t see the enemy sir! Our eyesight is covered with dust!” Says another soldier, goes down of the ladder and turns to the leader in the controls.

“Sir! We’re out of ammo!” Screams by the soldier near the ammo rack.

“We can’t beat them, we decreased men, and we have no ammo left.” The leader says, “We aren’t trained for this type of thing.”

The leader stands up and turns to his comrades. He raises his head bravely and saluted them. They saluted him back.

“Whatever happens to us, let’s not turn our backs to our beloved country. YOU UNDERSTAND!?” Says the leader.

“SIR YES SIR!”  They screamed as tears slowly come out of their eye.

“We’re the only ones left, we need to fulfill our task with the power from our dead comrades!” He screams, as they sobs.

They returned to their positions and prepared to retreat. 

The tank sped its way through the dust, blindly retreating.

That was the only tank left to survive the chaos. 

A strong wind blew and the dust was gone, leaving sight of a nightmare. 

Tanks drowned in the lava and soldiers can be found bloody in the road, buildings on their knees, and fissures everywhere.

Meanwhile in the London square Nymphs created a small black orb attached to their wands. The small orb break away from the wands and swirled.  Black sparked and an explosion of light hit the fountain in the square. Water spilled out and a large sinkhole was made. 

The water slowly evaporates and the crust beneath it exploded. Magma started to spill out and turned into a lava pool.

Though sounds useful and can be used anytime, nymphs have a short life span. Whether they like it or not, they were made to be sacrificed.

The same goes for the winged skeletons. They are really useful when it comes to Teleportation. Nevertheless, they cannot be used for combat, instead, they are the bridge to success. 

Yes, their bones are for making bridges.

THE HELLISH BRIDGE.

The nymph's resin extracted out of their bodies is used for sticking together bones. Dead winged skeleton bones are used and in case there are no deceased skeletons in the fight, they kill themselves or either sacrifice. The stermons leader starts the ritual also called as

RITUAL OF THE SINFUL  BONES.

Winged skeletons are the creatures created from the sins of the alive. Because of the sins, the generation has made, winged skeletons are crowding the underworld.

And that is how Merlin made a decision.

He dislikes Olivia for some reason. That witch is acting like a prostitute around his father. But his father wants him to team up with her. Along with the death angel and the death.

A bigger bridge will be better.

The leader of the stermons marched to the sinkhole, winged skeletons riding his shoulders. Other lowly stermons followed along. 

The black nymphs finally did their purpose, exploding into black resins on the pavement. The stermons kneeled on the pavement, creating a small weak earthquake one by one.  

The stermons let out a roar, and the winged skeletons collapsed and rained bones.

They crafted a long bridge out of bones, stuck them together with black resin. They should be patient making the right thing in their job because when the prince sets foot in it, he either destroys it or keeps it.

That's the sad thing to work under him.

The bridge was neatly placed above the scorching lava. 

The leader pulled off its amulet from its neck and used a resin to stick it on a skull.

It was placed with the help of another stermon on a handle located at the end of a bridge.

The stermons lined up to make an entrance for the prince. 

But the stermons need to wait for him to start. But something will block his way.

A flash of a word appeared on the tv screen.

"London, occupied by monsters and is now destroying the city."

Hazel scratched her head. She had no idea what was going on, but she had a theory, it's related to the couple's death.

Well, now what?! She'll have her revenge first on her list, second on it was to team up with those monsters.

She brushed her hair with her fingertips. The strands of her hair reflected the shine of the light. As she brushes further, she reaches her bangs, and she pulled it up and her beautiful forehead, with a shiny gem, was divulged.

What a beauty.

Her long hair cut short as the gem reflected the sun's light.

Her straight purple hair become curly and black highlights were on the strands. 

"Hello, new me."

She says to herself, bending her neck in front of her mirror.
