✨After Effect ✨

Season 1 Episode 7

[Location: Lumine Village]

The old man still leads the way as they walk through the busillage. The forest is mostly shady so you wouldn't really be able to differentiate between day and night. Once you enter the forest leading to Eclipt woods, it's feels like getting to dawn even if it's a hot Afternoon. This makes this forest unique from others. Jayden quietly follows the man and tries to scout for Lucas with his vision eye but doesn't sense his presence. {Seems like he isn't here, I hope this guy didn't lead me somewhere else}.

All speeches in {} are said in mind

"Where's your house?" he asks whiles the man quietly leads the way. Jayden starts to notice something fishy but just can't tell what it is. He turns to look around and notices the village folks staring intently at him. "This way" the man says and they both enter into a small house. "So this is your big house?" Jayden asks. {You've got to be kidding me!!! This isn't enough}. The man drops his rifle ask pours himself a glass of water and points to a closed door. "I'm Edward by the way" *coughs* "And that's where you can stay" he continues and enters one room slamming the door pretty hard. "Hmm, it's been two days without food

.. Let's see what I can get", He quickly searches the house and finds no food to eat. He enters the room Edward pointed to. It's filled with cobwebs!! Dirty all around and even has old furniture. A small room with two cute windows on one side and one small bed on the other side. It looks almost full with the bed and one old rocking chair beside it. He clears the room and rests on the bed with his staff beside him staring at the wooden roof. {I'll have to get some food and find Lucas in the morning. Hope he's not dead by now}, he sighs and closes his eyes trying to get some sleep...

"Get up!! They're coming!!" the voice in his head warns. He starts to have a vision dream about the ghostlike beings almost reaching the village really fast while screaming. "You need to save them!! Get up!!" the voice warns again as he quickly sits up. One e.erges from the window really fast and moves towards Jayden. He gasps and lays back down as it screams and passes through the wall behind his bed. {They're already here} seeming shocked. He hears the villagers screaming and looks into the window. He sees many of the village folks running around screaming as he quickly picks up his staff and moves out. {How did they get here that fast...maybe someone spawned them} He rushes and opens Edward's room and sights one of the beings drinking(absorbing) his soul. He quickly burns it with his staff and moves over to him. He stretches his hand almost about to hold him as the voice in his head speaks again, "Don't touch him!! you'll be paralyzed.. go he'll the others" . "Oh...okay" he says as he bows a little to his dead body and quickly runs out. He notices the village folks half dead lying around the whole village with the beings not in sight. He quickly turns on his vision eye and scouts around. {They seem to have suddenly vanished...} He senses some great spirit force from the centre of the village, it might be the one who spawns the beings!, he thought. He rushes to the place and literally finds no one there, only the dead bodies. {Huh?..I thought I sensed something. My senses are always right. Hmph} He starts to look around for any suspicious thing and hears some faint cries. {I think it's coming from a child..might be scared of what's happened. I need to find him!!} He starts to walk around the village and sights a small girl around a corner with her back facing him crying. The girl sobs more and more as Jayden slowly walks to her side with his staff behind him in order not to scare the child. {I'm sensing a

great spirit force from her...Is she the one??....she looks innocent though..}. "Mommy...Daddy...where are you?.." she says as she starts to cry. "It's okay...I promise we'll find them" he says as she slowly stops crying. "Don't trust anyone!!" the voice in his head warns as he holds his staff firmly with his left and stretches out his right to hold the girl. She slowly turns around and smirks as she tries to pounce on Jayden. He quickly rolls over to the left and lands facing her. He tightly grips the shirt staff as if elongates to almost his height full. The girl starts to laugh having a great echo behind it. She stretches herself and suddenly grows to become a man. He pulls out both hands as the dead bodies start to rise up again. {A necromancer!!! I sure am dead}. The man turns around wearing a black long dress and keeps both hands behind laughing and looking at Jayden. The dead folks rise up and stand behind him as Jayden start to think about what to do next....
