The Demon Child - Awakening

When the moon became the smallest thing in the sky, Abatson and I started to walk towards Gener's castle. We went towards the gate and noticed that two guards with a golden hinge on their helmet were guarding the gate. Abatson and I knew that these were our seniors I knew that I should be careful.

"Report!!" The left one commanded.

"Soldier Ansay reporting, nothing unusual to report sire," I replied.

"Understood, please proceed to the dorms and await further instructions,"

"Yes, Sir!"

As Abatson and I snuck past the guards, we rushed towards our quarters since I knew where they were. After about five minutes we burst through our door. The room was filled with a scent of old sweat and rotten food, with only two beds and a mat. Ignoring the smell I moved the mat onto one of the beds and flicked through my booklet. I stopped on one page and got one of the knives I've brought with me.

I started to carve a pentagram quickly, looking at the small hieroglyphs inside it. After another five minutes, the pentagram was complete. I quickly got out the blood pouch and started to pour it onto the pentagram. I looked down at the poured blood to see that it was glowing a dim red. As the pentagram turned from a dark rose to a light cherry, I knew it was ready. I closed the pouch and was ready to start the ritual.

I put back the blood pouch back in the armour and brought out two flasks of blood. I threw the flasks onto the ground and started to chant.

"Awaken from your other side, for a part of you is calling, be reunited with yourself once again, to come back to this place and stand once before me," I whispered.

The pentagram then glowed a blinding red which hurt my eyes. After a blinding light faded, it revealed Lucyfer and Astaroth in a dazed state. Not long after Lucyfer recovered and barked at me.

"Took you long enough, report!" She yelled.

"We have infiltrated, and now it's time for phase two of our plan," I replied.

"Fair enough, let's get goi," *knock* *knock*

We covered up the pentagram, then Astaroth and Lucyfer hid underneath the beds. I opened the door to see a large demon with four golden hinges was standing outside. Abatson then came out of the room.

"Guard Ansay and Guard Sendrey ready sir!," I yelled.

"Good, now the meeting today there's a change of plans," The large guard said.

"What is that sir?"

"You will be Guarding Gener directly, proceed to the main hall in two hours,"

Everyone was shocked, but it was great since we could get closer towards him.

"Understood sir,"

"Very well, I will hope to see you at the main hall,"

The massive demon then stomped off somewhere, I went back inside to see that Astaroth and Lucyfer were surprised.

Abatson and I nodded and I quickly got out of my armour. Abatson armours then started to spew out some sort of mud. After the mud stopped seeping out, it went into the empty suit of armour and reformed. Soon the armour started to move, I was shocked since this was the first time seeing Abatson splitting into two.

"Now, then fill us in," Lucyfer continued.

"Due to that new information, our plan will have to change, although the change will help us take down our target," I replied.

"Good, now Astaroth and I will search the premises, make sure not to be seen, Dynestar you will keep watch of Asmo and Amo,"

"I understand, but before you go, let me do this,"

I bit my finger and put a drop of blood on everyone's forehead, I then muttered "May our thoughts intertwine for this night,"

The drops of blood on our heads began to boil and then disappear.

"What did you do?" Astaroth asked me.

"I did this," I thought. "It allows us to talk telepathically, and if you want to stop hearing other people just say, 'off', Understood?"

"Now to turn it on, just say 'on'," I continued.

Everyone nodded again.

I was lucky that Lucyfer put me in that position since this is my first quest, it would've been harder for me to know what to do. Lucyfer and Astaroth snuck out of the room and I was left with Asmo and Amo. For the next two hours, I tried many different spells to conceal my presence. After using the rest of the blood pouch, only Asmo and Amo could sense me.

We started to head off towards the main hall, practising our way to get in. As we stood at the entrance to the main hall. I hid in Amo's shadow, easily passing through the guards, I then snuck up onto the rooftop planks hiding in plain sight. I then activate my telepathy.

"Report, I have infiltrated the main room," I thought.

"Well done Dynestar, I am at the main gate and Astaroth is somewhere in the castle," Lucyfer then thought.

"I am in the dungeons, it seems that this is where I'll start my assault," Astaroth interrupted.

"Ok, I'll be watching the meeting, out,"

I turned off the telepathy and started to listen in to the conversations. Nothing interesting came out whilst they were talking until one conversation struck my interest.

"That's true, he told us that he had something big was about to happen," Another one then yelled.

I looked at Asmo and Amo and noticed that their seat which they were guarding, was empty! I had no idea that he wasn't there, it's like I didn't even notice his seat.

"Well done, you've finally noticed" A mysterious voice echoed throughout the room.

In a puff of smoke, a fat and stumpy man with half whitened hair and a visible bald spot appeared in the chair, that man is who I expected to be Gener.

"Thank you for waiting so very patiently, now then, time for the main event," Gener yelled across the room.

He then snapped his fingers and smoke appeared in the middle of the round table, it then was continued with an ear-splitting roar. I covered my ears and looked at what made it when the smoke subsided.

An unknown beast, which looked like a scaly wolf was trapped in a cage.

"As you can see, we can now mass-produce chimeras," Gener said. "This one is a hybrid between a Dire Wolf and a Death Snake, this chimera is extremely deadly and that's why we have it in a ca-"

The Wolf then tore through the roof of the cage and jumped at me. I leapt back, but not fast enough, I was scratched deeply by one of the wolves claws. The wolf's force broke through the brick walls of the castle, I was only able to say one thing before I fell.

As I was falling, I used my tail on the castle walls to slow down my descent. When I reached the bottom of the castle, the scratch was fully healed. I looked towards the Wolf who was already there, the plan has moved onto the second stage.
