Darkatenium (part one)

I run as fast as I dear. I don't know where this strength is coming from or how am able to do this. All I want now it's to get away from them.

Unfortunately one of them surpasses me. He blocks my way and I can't get out now. Am so doomed. Fear controls me, I am so terrified to think clearly of how I can conquer them.

"Got you finally. You can run but you can never run away from us", one of them informs me as he stares at me intensively.

"Aaaah... Please don't harm me", I beg with a shaky voice. I sound like a scared child but couldn't act brave now.

"We won't harm you", he cracks up loudly.

"I just want you to follow me or do you want to be a disobedient guy huuuh", he threatens me.

"Why should I follow?" I ask.

"Cause you must. Enough with the stupid chitchat. You are now our meal", he informs me. My adrenaline rises so fast that I feel so numb. Did he just say his meal...?

He grabs my hand in a tight grip forcefully. I can't allow this to happen. I must fight, it's better trying and failing than not trying at all.

I kick him between his legs and he disappears immediately. This won't be easy as I thought it would be. Since they aren't humans. One of the them kicks me at the back. I can't keep up since they are so many. I lay down waiting for the worst to happen.

"I will help you. Rise immediately and fight them back", Luka commands me. I rise hastily without wasting another time.

"So you are trying to fight us huuuh", they laugh at me.

"You have special powers too. Attack them, Blake...", Luka informs me and I gape confused. I have a special power that I don't recognize. How can that happen?

"Yes, I will defeat all of you", am sounding more courageous I mean I feel more powerful.

They start to attack me and I fight back. I open my hand and a white shining sword appears. It looks so different from the normal swords I know.

"Stupid boy. Come get us ", they tell me in unison laughing. I run towards them and start to use the sword. I attack one of them and he soon disappears. I continue to fight not paying attention to the injuries I have. Am so determined to pass this level that I don't care what happens to me.

"Nooo...!!!", the one I first approached yells in pain. It was now his end. He is the last one and am so delighted that managed to conquer them all.

As I stare at my wounded hands. I notice that they are slowly healing themselves. The pain is also fading. At least I have overcome those crazy things.

"Welcome to my world", I read a sign on the road. The words are white. It doesn't have the gothic vibe though.

I continue walking on the road and what I see amuses me. I spot a young lass standing by the roadside. She is so beautiful and looks like an angel.

"Hey", I greet her with a wide grin.

"Fine Blake", she responds. She even knows my name. This is interesting.

"Who are you. How can I get out of this place", I raise the obvious question. I hope she will help me.

"Aaaah you have to pass the Darkatenium first then you have to pass the Incredible village", she informs me. I can't understand what she's talking about.

"Don't worry follow me, I will take you there", she assures me.

"Aaah what's Darkatenium...?" I can't understand this place. I have to know where am going and what am expecting.

"You will see for yourself", she responds. Am bored, she's not helping me.

"And what's the incredible village", I ask again. There is no way I will let her go without telling me where we are heading too.

"I like you though", she chuckles hard. I frown as I glance at her. She's not looking like a daimon. Why is she so good to me?

"Huuh why are you so good to me. Who are you", I ask again. I don't care if she answers or not but I need to know.

"Are you a detective? You are asking too many questions", she says. It seems that she's not ready to tell me what I want to hear.

"Am just curious...", I reply. It's been a while now and she's not talking to me. She has not even told me her name if she has one.

"You will know that soon just follow me", she holds my hand in a tight grip.  She runs so fast like a lightning. My heartbeat accelerates as I try to catch up with my breath. She doesn't seem like she has done anything unlike me. 

"Welcome to Darkatenium", Someone welcomes me, I can't see her. It sounds like a lady's voice.

"I will instantly go", she informs me and before I could even speak she departs from my presence.

"You have to do this alone. You came here on your own", Luka informs me. I have to do this without any help.

I follow the narrow road. So far I can't see anyone or feel something strange yet. It's like am the only person in this place. Is this place even on Earth? Does it even exist in reality?

I come across a very huge cave. It looks so big, I find it so amusing. I have never seen such a big cave like this before. I head towards its entry as Luka instructed me.

At the top of its entry, it has some writings that can't ignore. I stop and start to read it.

"Welcome to Darkatenium Blake. This place is hazardous so be aware and cautious. You should find the Razila first then take it to the incredible village. Deliver it to the master in the incredible village. Your time is running out so be first", as I read the writing. I notice that someone was writing it, since was seeing a pen moving. I cant see the person and that is creeping me out.

I know should not be seeing this as a big deal. Cause have seen worse but am a human I can't stop fearing.

"Blake go on your right", Luka directs me.

"Thank, you so much for your guidance man", I thank him.

"Thank you so much for your guidance man... thank you so much for your guidance man...", My echo is starting to play games on me. This voice is continuing speaking what I said numerously. It's still my voice, this isn't an echo as I first thought.

"Hello who are you", I ask the daimon imitating me to reveal itself.

"So you saw me....", He laughs so hard. The cave's walls start to shake.

"Yes...", I answer.

"Fine little Blake....", He cracks up so loudly. I stop to see how he looks like. He appears immediately in front of me.

"Luka!!!" I gape surprised.

"Yes Blake", he nods as he strides closer to me. He stretches his hand wanting to hold me in a tight grip. I obey since am so sure that he is Luka and he was here to help me.

"Your so stupid!!", Luka informs me disappointed.
