2021-07-04 18:05:28It was dusk already and Nick and his family, were having dinner together at the dining table. Nick was bothered with the trouble he'd have to face but the rest of his family had no knowledge about it. Nick didn't want them to worry, so he decided to bring up a conversation. "Mom, dad, after this holiday, which school are Chloe and I going to? " Nick asked. "Oh, yeah, son. I totally forgot about that. Nick, you're now in grade seven right? And Chloe, grade three? " His mom questioned. "Yeah mom. So, which school are we going to? " Nick asked again. "Stop pestering us. You still have two months to go before school starts. So, before then, we would consider and arrange that. " Mr. Phillip assured. "Dad, I wanna go play some video games, " Nick announced after he finished his meal. "Ok bub! But do sure come back to clear the dishes! " His mom chirped. Nick went up his room to relax his mind by playing a car racing game. He sped off at the start, others following behind. He was

"God! What am I going to do? " Nick wept extremely. 'Don't worry dear. I'll find a way to get you out of here. ' Mr. Edrek Mattias comforted Nick in his mind. "I'm not going back! I am going to destroy him! Mario won't get away! Instead, please, find a way to get me to where that stupid Mario is. " Nick pleaded. "I'm right here silly! " Mario spoke. Nick quickly looked behind and before he could say a word, he collapsed. ********************Nick jerked up suddenly. He felt extremely hot. He looked around and figured that he was in a cage-a fiery one. It was pure red iron. Probably because of the heat. He tried breaking through it, only to find out-as expected- it was extremely hot! Clap, Clap, Clap. Nick heard someone clapping. He looked at his side and saw Mario smiling cruelly. "Welcome to my golden, hospitable home, " Mario greeted, "Hope you like it? The fire, skulls, bones- everything! It's awesome right? This place is ca

Nick was totally scared and decided to summon Edrek back into his body. Immediately he touched the pearl, the glass-like board fell, landing horizontally, which made it crack and shatter around the room in million peices. Nick's parents came rushing up hearing the sound in their sleep. Like before, the debris vanished, leaving no trace of something supernatural. Nick quickly grabbed the pearl, searching for an empty pocket on his plaid pants, to hide and also secure the pearl from his parents. "Nick, what made that noise? Did anything break? Did you hurt yourself? Did you destroy anything? In fact, why are you awake at this hour?! " Nick's mom asked him a lot of questions at the same time, panting out of fear. "Um, mom, I heard the sound too. It's not from here. I think it came from the neighbors next-door. " Nick lied. "Oh My God! I almost had a heart attack. I thought something happened to you, " Nick's dad let out a sigh of relief before continuing, "B

Nick stood there confused, scared and devastated. He was wondering what was before him. 'Where are my parents? My sister? Where are they?!' He asked many rhetorical questions at the same time in his mind. 'Just think. Think! Think! Why was I chosen? 'Nick pressurized his mind and unknowingly squinted his eyes as a little bit of clue irked up in his mind. Nick could faintly remember someone; a woman. He could remember her telling him something about a mighty power. 'Oh, yeah! I can remember now! '***************Nick yawned, feeling very sleepy with the very lengthy bedtime story his mom just read for him. Nick could hear his mom's phone ringing continuously downstairs. "Sorry son, but I need to get that. It could be your father calling." Nick's mother apologised, running out of the room and down the stairs. "Ok

*Now*"Yes! That's why I was chosen. To get to use my powers to save the world!" Nick whisper-shouted before opening his eyes to see a portal right before him. In the portal, he saw his parents and his sister tied up beside a pool of blood just like in his dream. Maybe his third power might be to see what will happen in the future. Nick was totally sad seeing his family in such a situation. How am I going to reach them? How am I going to save them? Nick asked in his mind."I will help you. Now you know about your powers, think of the word you like best. The thing you can never live without. The dearest thing to you." Edrek advised in Nick's mind."I know. My family," Nick replied out loud."Ok. Now, do as I tell you. You need a teleporting portal to teleport you to your parents. So, think of what you want whilst holding the pearl in your palm. Then swing your arms with the pearl in a circle for

Nick felt a combination of different feelings building up inside him; anger, hatred, helplessness, sadness, and a whole lot more.He was completely pulled out of the chair with the fact that Mario could go this far by hurting his family -- but what would you expect from a demon; a Duke of Hell?He looked at Mario with hatred burning in his eyes and his blood boiling inside of him."How. Dare. You?!"Nick shouted so angrily with a very loud voice he never knew he could use.He ran over to his parents and sister and tried loosening the bonds around them but to no avail.The bonds were enchanted. It gave him a wild jerking zap of electricity which made him stumble back."You know, you could have just told me to loosen the bond." Mario said coolly, striding towards Nick as though nothing happened."How dare you?!" Nick repeated, venom laced in his voice.

Nick was stuck in between the chains and the skeletal creature with no way to escape. He pulled and pulled to no avail. Oh, shit! The skeletal creature emerged, fiery eyes glowing with lust of flesh. "I need a body; I shall take you!" It said sinisterly, descending its sharp claws on Nick. Lower and lower it came until it was right on his face. It gnarled with satisfaction as it was about to dig its claws into Nick's flesh. Nick trembled, fear took away his voice to scream. Even if he screams, is there anyone in hel

He saw a glowing set of dark eyes appear, then greyish-red skin. "Lepi Flixus, dravu... Loptica tu fukoos beokona leli." The vampire said, in its unknown language. "It means: 'I'm Flixus, you see... I'm hungry for flesh right now.'" Edrek translated for Nick. With a loud wail, Nick found himself on the floor, the vampire feeding on his flesh. He screamed, as its fangs dug into his neck. The pearl, which was his only hope fell off, rolling to the feet of the Duke of Hell, who picked it up, and left. *****No!

"I'm ready for war, Mario, it's no more play time."Nick was fuming as he said those words.He looked at Mario who was still crouched down on the floor."Are you ready?" Nick asked him."Darn, ask me that again," Mario replied without interest.Nick was angry and stamped on Mario, but to his surprise, his feet went through Mario's body and he felt a cold hand on his neck strangling him.Mario disappeared from the floor and as Nick turned back, he noticed that it was Mario strangling him."Now, let me reverse the question: 'Are you ready? '" Mario spoke, his deep voice sending a buzz over Nick.Shit! Reversion of fate again. "Let go of me!" Nick shouted as Mario's grip tightened."You wanted war, so it has started." Mario said, chuckling.

"Now that everyone is safe, we need to go shatter Mario's plan, while the others look for Mr. Phillips." Erik announced when he had brought all angels down."Master, I can assign the others to look for him, while the rest of the army follows you," Mick, who was a warrior, spoke."Yes, do that while we go. There is no time to waste," Erik paused, counting out twenty angels, "You should take them with you, while I need eleven hundred warriors to plan a surprise attack.""That's very thoughtful. I would do as you say, Master," Mick said, taking a bow and signalling for the others to follow as they invoked on their journey."Nick, your father would be safe. Let's go, troop!" Erik shouted to the others as they all marched back to the battle ground.When they reached the battle ground, they all stopped to listen the Erik's orders."Twenty of you should stay behind to stay with N
Unknown 18: Cascade
With the humanoid gone, Nick and his troop moved on, heading to the direction of the beam. Their troop got in contact with the others and they all agreed to meet there. They got closer and closer until they reached a place which looked like a cascade of hot boiling lava. But, it wasn't lava, it was blood! What the...? "Help!" Nick heard his mom. He looked down and saw his mom and sister on a floating piece of rock. "Mom!" Nick shouted as he tried flying down but the heat sent him floating up where he met Tereq and his troop. The heat was intense and took controlled over their wings. "No!" Nick cried. "What's happening, Tereq?" Erik asked, looking up at them. "I don't know. The heat is intense. We all tried flying down to get them but ended up getting stuck in the air."

"No!" Nick shouted as Edrek gave up."No? The deed has already been done, at least, you've got no friend running to get you," Edrek spoke, sarcastically."You are a jerk! I hate you!" Nick screamed as he lowered down to the ground, tears rolling down his cheeks."Who even thinks of loving a demon, human?" Mario asked, scoffing."You bastard! I'll make sure I destroy you!""But you can't do that without powers." Mario deadpanned."I have got the pearl..." Nick faltered."Oh, no! You just gave me the pearl if you haven't noticed..." Mario said in a sing-song manner."No way!" Nick roared."Hmm... I see." Mario laughed, turning the spear back into the pearl.Mario turned back to the other demons and angels in battle, "There is no need for war again, because I already have what I need, but, if you guys wanna have some fun... You can continue." Mario said, turning on his

Nick felt determined as the wind whistled into his ears.He was at maximum speed, recovering the pearl from his pant's pocket, he held it high, shouting with a thunderous voice— "My Family!"The pearl turned into a golden-blue spear, which sparked with energy of white magic.He stabbed some demons with the spear, giving them some kicks he learned in karaté class.The spear was so powerful that immediately it touched a demon, the demon sizzled in smoke and dust.A demon ran, carrying a sword, he looked like the second in command, because he was the largest among the group."Do you think you fight demons with human tactics? Kicks, blows... Nonsense! I'm going to show you how it is done using your idiotic friend, Edrek," The demon spoke laughing."The way we fight here kills not only flesh, but your spirit— either good or evil... " He added
Unknown 15: Mid-Air
When you know you are in danger but still know you can stop it, but you have a feeling you might fail, you feel weary and defeated. Nick felt that but knew there is no turning back. As he came out of the portal with his mom and sister, he found those panthers surrounding him again, but this time, they were about fifty of them. "Run!" He shouted to his mother and sister, "Run! I will protect you!""Bye, Nick! Stay strong!" His mother said, ushering Chloe through a crooked passageway. "Bye, Nick!" Chloe whispered admist sobs. "Don't worry, sis, I shall figh
