Reckoning. Part 2

Before a black ball of mass landed in the middle of the villager at the place where they had burnt the people they considered traitors, when Sheyken heard and saw the evil they had committed and were willing to commit in order to stay alive and get stronger, he sat down after what he saw and took out the communication dairy he had received from Arloch.

It was easy to use as just like the storage device, he just had to pore his aura or telekinesis into the page where Arloch's symbol was and then say something so as to leave a message. The only unfortunate thing about it was that you could not hold a live conversation over it. He had already had a massage from her before the events of the two kids took place during his hunt in the woods.

"Kid, I will find you wherever you are and skin you alive! Didn't I tell you not to put my dairy in your storage device!?"

Arloch's voice sounded as he had pulled it out to check how it worked. He also found out that you could only listen to a message once and he could adjust the volume by how much of his power he poured into the symbol. He had smiled as he heard her voice which shocked him as he thought he did not miss her at all. He concluded that if she could tell that he had kept it in Ruby after leaving the forest then it meant she could track him by using it somehow, which was a good and bad thing for him.

In his cell, it was how he could communicate without anyone noticing. Since they thought they knew evil, were scared of it, and chose to commit evil, even giving away their kids without a fight, he thought of showing them what true evil was. Singal thought he was going crazy when he heard him mumbling to himself.

In the valley of the Benevolent woods, Arloch who was trying to redo her experiment that blew up since the oil was nothing but a dead-end for now took out her communication diary as she had received a message for the first time in a long while.

Seeing that it was Sheyken, she was surprised as she thought the kid would not even once contact her. As she was intrigued to find out what he had to say she was then shocked at his proposal. She laughed out loud as the evilness of it all suited her Undead.

"Hahahaha, kid, did Zararloch managed to turn you into one of us?"

She said with amusement.

"I guess time for experiments is over. I think what you proposed is a fair deal for something I have no use for, I wonder why he would ask for such a thing. Did he hear that it is one of the most valuable things a beast warrior could ever have in his hands? I see he is already making moves... Ahhh, kids of this age sure move fast. I need to study them."

Arloch then called Sanguis and told him to bring the crying drunk princes over. She did not know why she was acting that way but she thought Sheyken's rejection had something to do with it. She summoned the others and when Sanguis and Tenebris reached Arloch's laboratory the other three were already there. She told them to prepare and what Sheyken had proposed. Tenebris was excited as she wanted to be next to her hubby. Zararloch was told that even though it was his disciple he had to be around Arloch since they would be going out of the forest for the first time in a while. She decided to send two of them even though one was overkill, but she decided to be cautious.

The day Sheyken saw a blue light lighting the sky outside, he knew that it was time to act. Not wanting to risk it, he sent his message to Arloch letting her know it was time. When they had entered his cell, he was listing to Arloch's reply but quickly hid the dairy in Ruby as soon as he saw them. This was what Susin thought he saw but thought his eyes were deceiving him.

In the valley, 5 figures appeared out of nowhere. The field they were in was made to resemble a baseball field by Sanguis who did not miss a detail from the old books he read and draw it to perfection on the ground days before. Sanguis was holding a black ball of mass and stood at a pitching posture a distance away from Violentiam who was carrying his double-bladed Axe while in a batting posture. Fusobacter was the catcher while Zararloch was the umpire. Cumfureres who was still looking like Sarah wearing a slip silver dress looking sexy as ever was on the side cheering for Violentiam.

An arrow pointing down appeared on Fusobacter and Sanguis slightly nodded. Cumfureres chairing was hyping up Violentiam and he never had felt so confident. Sanguis looked right, then his left, and then threw the mother of all pitches that blew Cumfureres dress up with her holding it down and making a cute little scream. This made Violentiam cream out like a horse would, failing miserable on the imitation. With his muscles bulging from the show that Cumfureres had shown him, he smacked the black ball of mass with his battle-axe forming a small tornado that quickly died down. They watched as the black ball rocketed through the sky.

On its way, it hit a monster flying across the sky which was the very someone that Sheyken had seen while holding for dear life after it flew near the path he was walking. It tried to avoid the black ball as its wings crackled with lighting, trying to move as fast as it could out of the way, but it did not manage to as it was struck by the ball and dived headfirst to the ground. The ball continued on its way and within a minute it was by the village as it stopped when it reached it and scanned it, feeling the residual spell from the wall and quickly locating its target. It fell down at the village square near where its target was and as soon as it hit the ground, it teleported him to it.

When Sheyken was teleported and saw the black ball her started sweating.

'UUUUU.... look at him. He is so happy to see me he is even sweating'

Tenebris thought. The two witches appeared and interrupted her thoughts. She wanted to deal with them so she could have some alone time with her hubby but Arloch had given her prices instructions not to kill them and it was going to be hard for her not to. She ignored them so she can once again look at Sheyken and when she did she closed her senses.

'AAAAAA.... awe may, awe may, awe may. He is giving me a strip show right here and not caring for what those bastards would think. My hubby has such a sense of humor, ahahaha.'

She thought while still with her senses closed. When she opened them again, she saw Sheyken dressed like a noble and butterfly were forming in her stomach.

"Tenebris, there is a little boy in a basement in that house. Make sure you do not hurt him."

Sheyken said as he pointed at Vitula's house while alert.

"Yes, hubby... I mean darling... no, I mean sweetheart... ahh yes Sheyken."

'He is now so commanding it made me panic. Guess he did not mind me cursing him. ahh... that is good, I was so worried for nothing. Ok, it is time to get to work. Since I should not kill these two then I will leave them to the best pitcher in Uros.'

Tenebris finish her thoughts and started to take action. Sisun and Susin were scared but they knew they call not run from whatever that ball was.

"Sister, looks like coming early is never a good idea. So, there is another kid. we should have just busted in that house and not let Flosbris handle it."

Susin said as he looked where Sheyken was pointing.

"That kid really is amazing. He already has such allies at his age. I only just met him and now I see why he could afford to have eyes so deep-rooted with hatred like that. They were the eyes of someone who knew that he would get his revenge. Brother let us die chasing the light."

Sisun said as she watched a spell formation coming out of the black ball of mass. Them saying 'die chasing the light' meant they would die trying to flee but after seeing the spell formation that covered the whole village they just gave up. it being black and its written spells being blacker than the formation did not help their resolve. The black lightning coming out of the formation was scarier than their masters' attacks.

'mmm let me see. I think 50 of them will be enough for this operation.'

Tenebris thought as she finished laying down the foundation of her spell. Sheyken looked at the spell formation and secretly told himself that he will get to that level very soon. He kept his eyes on the two in front of him only to be disturbed when he saw that Flosbris and the others that wherein his cell were now outside looking at the show he had brought them.

Agna was with them as she ran to her daughter as soon as she felt the death and decay in the air earlier as almost all the villagers had come out of their homes as they felt the same strange energy since they were all Initiates. They had come to see who possessed such power as it was what all of them gave their lives and children for.

On the street where Ningal and Vitula's house where, fifty of the villagers were attacked by their own shadows as they wrapped around them and squeezed them all of a sudden. They all screamed as they rolled on the ground with those who saw what was happening to them screamed as well.

With that, Tenebris transformed to her Human form as she gave them a wicked smile.

"Ahhh the dance of death. How have I missed it!"

She said in a sinister voice. The people who were being attacked by their own shadow floated up in the air and when they were higher than the two-story store front buildings their shadows squeezed them so hard, they bust like watermelons as their blood and chunks of their body rained on the village. The villagers ran in all directions as they screamed their lungs out in horror. As the blood fueled the spell formation it started to pulse.

A black gate opened next to Tenebris and Sanguis came through looking like a perfect gentleman if not for his face, feelers, and eyes that glowed red mist that was constantly leaving them. After the horror show, his appearance out of a gate of black nothingness made him be like the demon king himself. Even Susin and Sisun did not know who to be more scared of.

Sheyken Knew something like this would happen when he made a deal with Arloch but this was way over the top. Seeing that Flosbris and Agna had disappeared from his sight, he rushed into action only to be stopped by Sanguis's hand on his shoulder.

"Never challenge a witch in their house or you would be asking for death. Rather burn it down and wait for them to come out if they do not want to face you."

He whispered to him. Sheyken gave him a nod of understanding and went after her. Seeing the determination in his eyes, Tenebris was hoping she was giving a good first impression of her power to him.

"Now then, let the show begin!"

Sanguis said as he bowed like a gentleman.

"No Sang! the show had already begun. You arrived late, so it is my show now. My hubby will be watching."

Sanguis feelers went wild.

"Are you crazy woman? You know I haven't stretched my legs in a while, and you know that if you get serious you might kill everyone here. The master will never let you see him ever again if you do that."

Sanguis knew how to reason with her. She was getting so excited that she had pushed her reason for not fighting Susin and Sisun out of the window, but Sanguis managed to calm her down.

"Ok, but do not do everything, I still need to show off."

Sanguis hid his face with one hand and shook his head out of embarrassment. Susin and Sisun had given themselves to fate, but they still had the resolved to die fighting as they watched two monsters fight in front of them not giving a care about them, but they where about to wish that the black mass that now looked human had killed them.
