The Demon Child - Awakening

I stood there, dazed of what just happened. I then realized that I couldn't go to sleep anymore because I would just go to the opposite world. I rushed out of the cave towards where the cabins are located and took one of the empty cabins.

I then got my self comfy, not even bothering to take off my clothes and closed my eyes. I waited for what seemed like a millennium. I opened my eyes to see that I was now in my blue hammock again, I leaned out of my hammock to see that someone had left me some dark blue sandals and a set of clothes. I slipped on the sandals and a very torn up vest to cover myself.

I ran outside my tent and started to run around, looking for my group or Krayme. I ran for a few minutes before noticing Abatson walking around. I dashed towards him and stopped, he turned his head and stopped, looking confused.

"Hey Dynestar, why are you in such a rush?" Abatson questioned me.

"I've figured out my soul ability," I panted.

"That's great to hear! What is it?"

"I can go between Antrite and Antral without a demon gate,"

"Well uh, that's unique,"

"What will that do in the battle?"

"I haven't got a clue, but if I can control it, it will help me in battle,"

"True, but what will the other's think of your newly found ability?"

"Why don't we find them and see their reaction,"

Abatson joined me around the camp, searching for the others. During our time together, Abatson told me about the different tents and what they were used for, some were ghoul sleeping tent's whilst others were kitchens. After a while, we saw a familiar pair of wings on a small cliff. Abatson and I looked at each other then started to climb the cliff.

As I struggled climbing, I saw that Abatson was jumping from rock to rock with ease. Getting annoyed with myself, I bit my thumb and sacrificed some blood to increase my strength. After I pressed my thumb against my forehead, I could feel my strength growing. I then started to climb the cliff at exponential speed, as well as using my other abilities, like my elf eyes to see the best rock and my tail to jump even higher.

As I reached the top, I saw that Abatson and Xirax were already talking. As they turned their heads towards me, I saw Xirax's face turn into a massive grin. She immediately flew towards me and hugged me.

"Oh Dynestar, that's great to hear that you have a soul ability!" Xirax exclaimed.

"I know, it seems that Abaston has already filled you in, but have you seen Lucyfer or Astaroth anywhere?" I replied.

"Where is that?"

"It's the large tent, right next to our tent on the left,"

"Thanks for the information,"

I then cancelled my sacrifice and jumped down the cliff, stepping on rocks as I fell. As I felt the ground again, I focused my air source into my legs and dashed right to the tent.

As I gained closer at an exponential rate, I noticed that too scrawny guards with black armour were standing there. Looking at them closely, they were probably first rank ghouls. As I was about fifty metres away, I summoned my incarnate weapon, which then randomized to two throwing knives, it was just my luck.

They finally noticed me and pointed their spears towards me.

"Put your weapons down and back away, the people here are having an important meeting!" One of the guards yelled.

I didn't say anything, but instead, I activated my elf eyes, trying to see the best option. As I observed their armour, I spotted a small dislocation in both their shoulder joints. I then focused my source into my knives and threw them, hitting them both in their shoulder joints.

I then focused on my blood ice ability, hoping that it wasn't gone. I looked at the guards to see that their shoulder had frozen over. As I smirked, I stopped and focused on my ability. I closed my eyes and imagined two gate's, I then focused my source into these gates. As I opened my eyes, I saw that both the ghoul's arms were covered in shards of red ice.

"Ah Dynestar, we were just talking about you," Krayme said in a calm tone.

"Good, because I figured out my soul ability," I panted

"Well, what is it?" Krayme, Astaroth and Lucyfer asked me.

"I can go between Antrite and Antral, without a demon gate, but I can only do it when I sleep at the moment,"

"So, you can go between worlds without using a portal, but only when you fall asleep?" Lucyfer finalized.

"Exactly,"

"That's great, we were filling out your group forms, now since we have that, you are now a fully-fledged rank one demon,"

"Wait, he's a first-rank demon? But he's weaker than me! Krayme explain!" Astaroth yelled.

"Well, by all the statistics, Dyne is considered a first rank demon, remember strength isn't the only thing that makes a demon powerful," Krayme calmly replied.

Astaroth then purposefully knocked my shoulder before leaving the tent. I expected that he was going to sulk in his hammok. After some time, Abatson and Xirax entered the tent and were shocked to see that I was in one piece.

"Well, this sure is a rare exception," Abatson exclaimed at me.

"Lucky me," I replied with a smile.

"Hmmm, but this can't be excused, Dynestar, your body will be present in the camp, and you will go to Antrite," Krayme then coughed at me.

"So, your grounding my body, all I have to do is go to sleep and I can escape to Antrite," I told Krayme.

"Yes, but you will be doing a group exercise, during night time, your team will go through a demon gate, and you will meet them there,"

"So, you're making me go on a mission due to me awakening my soul ability,"

"Correct,"

"Well, I think that's a suitable punishment. Lucyfer, Xirax, and Abatson, I'll see you in Antrite,"

"Well see you there," Abatson grinned.

"Tch, you better not pretend sleep!" Lucyfer yelled at me.

"I won't," I replied

I then left the tent and made my way towards mine. As I looked through the curtains, I saw that Astaroth was holding some food in his mouth. I ignored it and laid down on my hammock, wondering about something before I went to sleep.

"What are you doing Dynestar?" Astaroth questioned me.

"We have a team-building exercise in Antrite, I'll be meeting you there, and I wonder," I replied.

"Wonder what?"

"You'll see in a minute,"

I then bit my thumb and but it towards my head, thinking of it putting a spell on me to sleep. After a second of putting my thumb on my head, I fell asleep and woke up in the cabin I went to sleep in.

"Well well well, what have we here, one of my demon subjects has found a demon gate," A familiar voice said from behind me.

I looked behind me, I was shocked by who was there. Jododam was behind me, with a face of calm rage.
