CHAPTER 38 (Merry Christmas)
It was truly a beautiful morning. It was that time when it was between night and day, just as dawn is starting to break. The sky was just starting to lighten up and one could see the full moon through a thin veil of clouds. The snow was slowly falling from the sky and had been for some time. The ground was covered in a smooth layer of fluffy white snow, covering mounds here and there that looked like big marshmallows on the ground. The road was covered lightly. It had a magical look to it all. The sound of music from every building and the privilege to witness another Christmas fill the innermost mind of everyone. Yeah, it's Christmas.
"Honey, we need to hurry up. We're almost late". Mr. Richard said, hastening his wife to bring their breakfast to the dining room. Sitting opposite him wa
Chapter 39 (Divine soul)Back in the real world, Susannah could be seen gasping blood, while still holding Patricia's hands. Susannah was trying to let go so that they can both leave the nightmare but it became tough for her to let go."I will make sure I kill every single one of you. Merry Christmas". The creature said and threw Susannah some miles away. Patricia and Susannah both flew away from the nightmare to the real world. Eddie had to speed to catch her mum from falling while Dave sped to catch Susannah who had already passed out."Mum are you okay?". Eddie asked his mum as he caught from falling."I'm fine, but I think Susannah isn't," his mum said, breathing out and regaining her balance. She and Eddi
Chapter-40 (The Hunter)The atmosphere was intense. The heroes had elucidated their encounter with the beast to their guardians. Dave, Carson, and Ella had recovered but the heroes were still shocked about who the beast was."Do you have any idea about the beast?'. Vivian asked Patricia who nodded negatively." No, not at all. I am worried about their friend who the beast possessed, and the casualties he will cause". Patricia said, looking so devastated."Do you guys remember anything else about the beast?". Patricia said, facing the heroes."Yes, I just thought of something now". Susannah said which raised their concern.
Chapter-41(Principal Fred)"This has never happened before, I can't seem to identify the hunter. It's like something is blocking my vision and power". Susannah said, coming back to consciousness."How, what do you mean". The heroes asked her. Their guardians had left them all to find the hunter. They were in their discussion room also, trying to find out how to defeat the beast."I don't know, everything is just blank. It was like the hunter never existed. Eddie, are you sure of what you saw?". Susannah asked Eddie. Eddie sighed, looking a bit confused. He knew he was helped by someone because if not, the beast would have finished him."I am sure of what I saw. I and the beast were not the only ones present there. T
Chapter-42 ( The Sacrifice)"You guys can go home and make sure to watch each other's backs". Principal Fred said and the heroes left his office. Mr. Richard was waiting for them outside. They had earlier called him to come to pick them up."Hope you guys are okay?" Mr. Richard asked them while the heroes hopped inside the car."We think it is about to get worse dad". Ella replied to Mr. Richard who ignited the car and drove them home.On getting home, they informed their guardians of the deal they made with principal Fred and Eddie let them know it was principal Fred that saved him from the beast in the forest."Are you sure we can trust him?". Mrs. Richar
Chapter-43 (Eddie's Choice)The heroes got home, all looking devastated. Their guardians noticed their facial expressions and no one told them something bad had happened to them again."Don't tell me Devoe attacked you guys again". Patricia anxiously said, standing up from where she was sitting."Are you guys alright?". Mrs. Richard asked cutely. The heroes sat down in their various seats, exhaling deeply before Susannah spoke."We think Devoe can attack at night". Susannah finally said which got their guardians baffled."No, according to what we read in the building, he can only attack during the day not night. So what are you guys trying to say". Patricia
Chapter-44 (The unknown Beast)"You alone with the ancient book or else you lose your principal. Meet me at the venue in the next 1hr. You do have a choice not to come and his death will be on you". Eddie read the message for others to hear and immediately another message about the venue entered his phone."You're not going alone". Patricia said firmly." Mum, he said I should come alone". Eddie said to his mum while everyone refused."You're not going alone Eddie, we're going together". Carson and Susannah said."What's the plan then?". Eddie asked and sat down.Eddie walked inside the forest, til
Chapter-45 (Mrs. Angelina)It was kind of a silent journey till they got home that night. Officer John and Cath alighted from his car and walked inside. Cath was about to walk to her room when her dad called her back."Hey lady, we need to talk". Her dad said and gestured to her to sit down. She looked at her dad, then scoffed."Dad, I told you I don't know much about them. I just know that Eddie isn't the beast causing those havoc". Cath said, sitting down."How did you know? How close are you to them?'. His dad asked her firmly."Well, they are my friends from school. And I heard them discussing with principal Fred". Cath said.
Chapter- 46 (Another Sacrifice)"I don't know, I don't want her to get involved". Eddie said and Cath's phone rang immediately."Guys it's my dad". Cath said and picked up the call."Hi, dad". Cath said to her dad."What!, When!! Where!!!?". Cath exclaimed."Okay dad, will get back to you". Cath said and her dad hung the phone."What's it?". The heroes asked while Cath looked sad."Another lady has been sacrificed in the forest". Cath finally said and the heroes were stunned to hear it.
Chapter-150 (Light prevails over darkness)"Dad, I told you he's a nice man. Why did you have to make him stay the night before giving him the sword?". Isabel asked her and Eddie looked in her direction. He was bewildered to see the man who had sheltered him. He quickly got up and went to his knees."You're Adwen right?". Eddie asked the man and he nodded affirmatively."I know you will surely come here one day. My daughter told me when you arrived". Adwen said to Eddie and smiled at Isabel. Eddie looked at Isabel and Isabel smiled at him. "Don't be surprised Eddie. I only tested your trust and your identity". Isabel said to Eddie. " Please, my world will soon be in chaos, I need the ancient gladius to defeat the great witch". Eddie pleaded to Adwen." You're late Eddie, your world is already in chaos. Keeper of the underworld has been destroying your city right now". Adwen said and Eddie quickly got up and walked towards Adwen." Please Adwen, I must not fail this time. I can still
Chapter-149 (The end of the world)CRYSTAL OF EVIL"It is time". Emily said and laughed viciously. She got up from her chair and went into a dark room. She lights up the room and it reveals Susannah's shadow. "Time to tell you I am stronger than you". Emily said and started chanting some spells. She called the soul of Susannah and the soul appeared to her and Emily laughed."I told you, you are my child". Emily said and laughed. She commanded Susannah's shadow to enter her soul. The shadow entered and Emily chanted some spells and the soul vanished. Emily laughed and left the dark room. She went to the lower room and met Eddie 2 drinking a cup of blood. Eddie 2 gets up when he sees Emily coming closer to him."Eddie, it's time. I must create other clones". Emily said and both of them went to another room. Emily brought out the pictures of the heroes that she had snapped without them knowing. She dipped the pictures into a big bowl of blood and started casting some spells. The weather
Chapter-148 (Life in the past)A wormhole opened revealing Eddie. He looked everywhere and was surprised at how things were in the past. He found himself on a mountain top. He was able to see the whole kingdom. He walked down the mountain and walked to the kingdom. Everyone was looking at him because of the way he dressed. His outfit was different from theirs, everything about him was different from theirs. He walked and walked till he was tired. He sat down on a rock outside the market square to rest a bit before continuing his journey."I don't even know where I am going". He thought within him. A little girl walked close to him and offered him a cup of water."You look thirsty, you should drink". The little girl said and smiled at him. Eddie collected the water and drank it all at once and returned the cup."Thank you so much". Eddie appreciated the little girl. "You don't look like us, you are not from here". The little girl said and sat beside him. Eddie looked at the girl and s
Chapter-147 (Final defeat)" So I have to go back to where it all begins". Eddie said, looking devastated." Yes Eddie, and you must find Adwen before it is too late". Queen Alexander said to him." I have no choice but to go, I need all the help I can get to defeat Emily. I must make my parents who have sacrificed themselves for me to come this far proud". Eddie said to Queen Alexander. Queen Alexander smiled at him and looked at little hobgoblin. " I think you still have one last mission to do buddy". Queen Alexander said to little hobgoblin. Little hobgoblin smiled and looked at Eddie." I am going to miss you". Little hobgoblin said to Eddie and Eddie smiled at her." I am going to miss you too buddy. Thanks for everything". Eddie appreciated her." Take care of yourself, Eddie". Morgana said and walked close to Eddie. She pecked Eddie and he smiled." Thank you, Morgana, thank you for trusting me". Eddie said to her." Thank you, my queen". Eddie appreciated Queen Alexander and
Chapter-146 (Back in time)"The vase, can we go get it now?". Eddie asked Princess Diana."Why, it's just a vase Eddie, not a map". Princess Diana objected."We need to be sure of it". Eddie said and princess Diana led the way, looking frustrated. Eddie drove while Princess Diana sat in the passenger seat. None of them talk to each other till they go to her house. Both of them alighted from the car and Princess Diana led the way. She opened her door and went to her room, then came back with the vase. She handed it over to Eddie. Eddie looked at the vase, it was a closed vase."I told you, it's just a vase". Princess Diana said, looking angry, and passed by Eddie. She was about to open the door so she could go outside when she heard a sound. She looked back and realized Eddie had broken the vase. She was angry."Eddie, are you out of mind?". She yelled at him for destroying her precious vase given to her by her father. That's the only thing left with her that gives her the sweet memori
Chapter-145 (The vase or the map)It was night already, everyone had gone to sleep. Officer John left work late and decided to branch at a club just to get some drinks. He ordered for himself and was drinking. He started thinking about his life. It was sad for him knowing the girl he had trained from little isn't his daughter. Most of the time, he is always bitter and sad whenever he recalls the incident. Just like right now, he couldn't hold his tears as he remembered everything. The evil spirit was roaming around, finding who he could possess when he saw officer John sitting and crying while drinking. The evil spirit laughed and wasted no time in possessing officer John.Officer John felt something enter his body and started shaking vigorously till he passed out. He was rushed to the hospital. A Few minutes later, before he was attended to, he woke up and gets you from the sick bed."Sir, you should go back to bed". The nurse that wanted to attend to him spoke. Officer John looked a
Chapter-144 (The return of the evil spirit)"Eddie!". Princess Diana exclaimed, running towards Eddie. She hugged him from behind."Eddie, it's okay. I know how you're feeling but don't let your emotions take over you". Princess Diana said, trying her possible best to calm him down. Luckily, the lightning subsided and the weather turned back to normal."I am going to miss my mum and Mr. Richard". Eddie said slowly, wiping off his tears. Princess Diana disengaged from the hug and turned Eddie to face her."I will always be here for you Eddie no matter what happens". Princess Diana said and kissed Eddie instantly. Their bodies responded to their emotions and they were both glowing with lightning.The heroes have gotten back themselves and are ready to move on. They knew they had to make things for the death of the guardians to be in peace. They have sacrificed everything for them just for the final battle. Despite the little hobgoblin telling Eddie that princess Diana has the map to fin
Chapter-143 (missing them)"Where is the cup?". They were surprised by his question. Dave brought out the cup and handed it to him. They were expecting him to cry or get angry but he was smiling which made them think he had gone mad."Well done guys, we finally have the four weapons with us". Eddie said and walked back to his room. He walked back to the living room with the four weapons. He placed them on the table where the little hobgoblin was." What's next now?". Eddie asked little hobgoblin through his mind." It's left for you to find the last weapon. The mission is specifically for you." Little hobgoblin said to Eddie." Ancient Gladius is not just an ordinary sword, It's a magical sword, forged from the souls of the dead gods. The sword was created by a sorcerer called Adwen. Adwen created the Ancient Gladius during the first battle in the kingdom. The sword was used by the four god's father to stop their enemies which was successful. After the battle their father cast a spell
Chapter-142 (Courage with sorrow)ISLE OF THE BLESSED"I allow you two to follow me because I know how important Eddie is to the two of you. You must go back with the cup of life without me". Patricia said and Princess Diana, Dave, and Cath started crying immediately." You all must protect my son, and please tell him I love him so much and I will always be with him". Patricia said to them. This time, she was crying. Not because of the death but because she's going to miss her son." No, no, please don't go". Princess Diana was full of tears, begging Patricia not to go. Patricia smiled at them and prayed for them before following Nimue. Both of them entered a tornado and they both disappeared. The heroes were crying, none of them could even move an inch to carry the cup. They all sat down there, crying, and crying till the whole building started shaking. Dust was emanating from the ground and the building started collapsing. "What are we going to do now?". Cath asked, staggering as s
