2 A proposal?
*BOOM*
Another thunderbolt landed on top of the castle.
Somewhere in a room inside the castle, a man was sitting on a throne in a leisurely manner with his eyes closed; the throne was constantly emitting lightning strikes and rumbling noises, it was as if numerous thunderclouds were trapped inside the throne. The man was easily 10 foot tall; he was very muscular and held a Khakkhara in his left hand. He was wearing loose blue pants with a white pattern on them.
He opened his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face 'Finally' he said to himself, the throne beneath him also started rumbling as if it was getting excited about something.

Demian opened his eyes, in front of him was an altar, it was made of shiny black glass, and the light reflecting from its surface gave it a crimson colored shimmer.
'Come forward my child.' a voice called for Demian.
'Who is it? Show yourself.' asked Demian.
The voice chuckled softly as it said 'I am afraid, If I come before you, you will be blown out of your wits, but if this is what you want then this is what shall be done.'
*RUMBLE RUMBLE*
The nearby area started shaking violently, as a figure made up of lightning right above the Altar. The Figures height quickly crossed one hundred meters, seeing this Demians eyes nearly popped out.
'W-wh-who are you?' he asked like a scared kid.
'I am Anyo, the Jinn of the first weaver ever created by Lord Bann. I am the First in the line of all the thunder uebis ever created by Lord Bann.'
Demian was utterly speechless, he was shaking from head to toe and on his forehead was a film of sweat.
'Do not fret child. I am not here to harm you. I am here to discuss a proposal from Lord Bann.'

On a mountain far away from the location of the altar, a man was standing and look patiently at Demian. He was wearing a grey hooded robe with brown pants. He smiled on seeing Demian and said 'Ohh my dear Bann, so naive of you to think that you have won already, I have been waiting for millions of years, that kid is mine, and no one is going to harm him.' The man flickered leaving a trail of dark energy behind.
In a room inside the castle, A man stood up from his throne in a quick manner and clenched the Khakkhara in his hand. 'That damned bastard, he is here already.' he said in a tone full of anger as he stepped forward and disappeared from the room.

'A proposal?' Demian asked hesitantly.
'Yes. A proposal' replied Anyo with a kind smile on her face.
'What kind of proposal?' asked Demian.
'The kind that will decide the future of all the beings living in Merelda.' replied Anyo.
'What?' Demian was shocked, he expected his case to be a special one, but this was beyond what anyone had ever expected.
'What is the proposal?' asked Demian timidly.
'Ohh nothing too complicated. Just your life for the world of Meralda.' said Anyo with a smile on her face, acting as if what she had asked for was nothing in her eyes.
Hearing this Demian was startled as he took a few steps back. He had never expected that his quest for a weaver would take such turn of events.
'What do you mean?' asked Demian in a serious tone.
'What I mean is, if you want your world to continue living in peace, then just kindly hand over your life.' replied Anyo while reaching out with her hand and forming a grabbing gesture.
Before Demian could react, he felt as if his body had been pinned down. He was unable to move. Theodore pulled Demian towards herself. 'Come. Let me show you something' said Anyo as the surroundings once again changed and they appeared in an area which seemed like space 'Look down' said Anyo while looking at Demian who was now able to move. Demian looked down, and what he saw terrified him, beneath them was a planet split in half, and millions of corpses were floating in the nearby space. A body floating in the nearby vicinity bumped into Demian, it was the corpse of a woman or at least what was left of her, she had been ripped apart from neck to cervix, and her face had also been smashed in. Suddenly, Demians eyes fell on the woman's hand; it was a bracelet, a bracelet Demian was far too familiar with.
Demian fell on his knees, tears rushed down his face 'How can this be, I-I-I buried you myself, how can this be, how can this be??????' screamed Demian like a madman.
Demian looked at Anyo furiously his eyes were completely taken over with bloodlust, Anyo was a bit startled on seeing this.
'You-You did this. You killed her.' screamed Demian as he lunged at Anyo.
Anyo raised her hand and stopped Demian in mid-air 'Calm down; this is not the reality; all these people are still alive. Although they will be dead in a few years if you choose to live.' said Anyo.
'What? All these people are still alive?' Demian was jolted back to his senses.
'Yes, and they will remain that way if you choose to die.' replied Anyo.
Demian fell down on his knees, his head hanging low. 'I can give you a couple of minutes to think about it, it is after all a big decision for a mortal like you.' said Anyo.
After a few seconds Demian stood up and looked at Anyo 'I am sorry, but if all the people shown here are alive, I am afraid I cannot die, and I do not care even if it means the end of the world. I just have to see her for one last time.' said Demian while clenching his fists tightly, the sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.
Anyo was clearly surprised on hearing this from Demian. She never expected that he would be able to choose himself over the rest of the world.
'Interesting, it seems there is more to you than meets the eye. Alas, I am afraid you just have to die, the deal is off.' said Anyo as a wicked smile appeared on her face. She formed a palm and covered it with lightning forming a blade of lightning. She then disappeared from Demians Line of sight, and reappeared right before Demian merely a couple of inches away from him, she thrust forward the blade she had formed, but surprisingly it landed on empty air.
She looked around and saw a man on whose shoulder Demian was lying unconscious, the man had a decent build, he was wearing a grey hooded robe with brown pants, and his feet were bare. The hood covered half of his face, as only his mouth was visible.
His face curved into a smile as he said 'Phew! That was a close one, give my old bones a break would you, they are too old for this kind of action.' acting as if he was tired.
'Do you think my master will let you live after this? Hand over the kid and scram.' refuted Anyo.
'Ohh child, if I were afraid of your master, then I wouldn't be standing here right now would I? He is Bann the King of Gods, the strongest creature in this world, do you really think if I were afraid I would be standing here with his precious prey on my shoulder?' replied the man while laughing.
Anyo frowned and asked 'Just who are you?'.
'Hahahaha. Now there is a question you should have asked in the beginning, but I am afraid the answer is way above your pay grade.' replied the man while patting his chest as if his status was something she was unworthy of knowing.
'YOU!!!'Anyo was fuming with anger.
However, a smirk appeared on her face as she started emitting lightning all over her body, with each passing second her body grew and grew, it was as if there was no limit to her growth. She came to a halt after she was about a hundred meters tall. 'Let's see how long you can keep that attitude.' said Anyo as she returned to her original form.
'Bariq Ramah!!' said Anyo, as a spear of lightning was formed in her hand, the spear was as big as a full grown tree, the power it contained was so great that it would be able to destroy a world with a single blow. She threw the spear towards the man standing in front of her; the spear tore through the space leaving behind a trail of lightning. 'DIE!! Both of you.' said Anyo. However, the spear vanished mid-way, this startled Anyo, her eyes were twitching as she was unable to accept what just happened.
'Time to sleep my child.' a voice fell into Anyos ears, but before she could react, a slap landed on her face, and she flipped and fell flat on her face. She slowly closed her eyes as she looked helplessly towards a figure that was walking away from her.
