Chapter 8

"The intensity has increased, your majesty"

"Obviously it will, old man"

The woman holding the umbrella said as bloody marry smiled at hopkin's

"I will raise mine army... You shall leave, you will be protected"

"Hmm... Can't i see?"

Klein asked as he shuddered to her look, it was soft with a smile showing her dimples in her white skin she said

"Thou art may stay... If thou wanth to be dead"

"Yea no, your humble majesty, i will take him away will it be fine if i ask for a favour?"

"What is it?"

"Milady, i want the restrictions on teleportation to be removed for a short interval"

"It shalt not be done, use thy moment as a training for him to be stronger"

Snap-

With a snap from her fingers Hopkins and Klein got teleported as Klein sighed

"So much for seeing... "

Taking a sharp breath in relaxing as he gazed at hopkins and the new surrounding they were in, the auditorium

Hopkins adjusted his bow tie

Tap tap

Tapping his crane he said looking at Klein with his blue eyes

"I will teach you, take the mirror and concentrate on its beautiful length"

As ordered Klein immediately did so, holding the mirror in his hands gazing at the holder

"Now look slowly at the surface"

Klein looked ahead with his eyebrows raised as a whitish hue spread out

"Look at them"

GRRRRRRRR----

WGGGGGG-----

"Argh!!"

"Now concentrate, lad!"

Hopkins said as he held klein's hand

The mirror shined with a whitish hue and reddish glitter the surroundings shuddered with dark light

The place remained silent as Klein's eyes teared

"Argh!! I can't!! Leave me! Leave me! Please!!"

His eyes shined with whitish colour as his vision shrouded with a weeping woman

She cried and cried and cried with her eyes red but her figure blurred

Holding a small kid of age 10 or less in her hand, standing alongside her

Cries followed with the kid's hand on her whitish hair

"Leave me!!! Please please! I beg you!, leave me! Alone!!"

Klein cried bloody tears as his eyes gauged out

"Hahaha!!"

He started laughing as his body started to glow dark and white

"Believe, belief, hope, hope is something you give to yourself"

"Hope is something soothing and comforting but ultimately bringer of suffering!"

"Hope is something you have in you, in deepest darkest moment, believe in yourself"

"I... Can't... I CANT!!!"

"trust is something you keep in yourself and others"

"When belief, hope and trust combine, when belief, hope and trust combine"

"It births new beginning"

"Give yourself hope come on lad, ye can do it!"

"I-i..."

Klein shuddered as he gazed at the mirror the woman still clear in his vision he turned his head to his side with his eyes shining

He looked at hopkin's his eyebrows relaxed his hold tightened his shoulders dropped

With a smile froming dimples

"I keep trust... Not in you nor.. me i don't have trust hopkins"

"I don't have friends.."

"I don't have hope... I don't really have one... Not on myself or another... After all in the end I'm in a circle i can't break, what use is there to break it?"

"I don't have belief... What's good is belief when you don't have something dear to heart?"

"You do have one, in everything... It's yer subconscious brain I'm speaking, it's not yer consciousness, so i do know ye are tricking him and yourself

"Hahaha... This woman... Who is she... I can't reist.... My mind is hurting..."

"The woman maybe anything and everything but also nothing but .. the previous holder call her the lady of mind... And the judge of the holder..., It's evident in what she is trying ye know"

"*Sigh* i do not have hope in myself, belief in myself, nor trust in myself...

"But i do have them"

The screams ravaged his ears and mind with the surroundings turning dark with the only source of light from the mirror

The mirror glowed red and white as his smile deepened

"I have trust in my friend.. Janice... I have hope in my brother.. and i do have belief in my antique shop"

"Look at the mirror"

Klein's face tilted towards the mirror as his eyes blurred with blood

"Hehe beautiful"

A voice rang through his ears with the woman looking at him with her eyes puffy but no tears

The screams stopped as a beautiful surge of melodious flute and violin played alongside his ears his hands loosened his grip with the mirror floating around him

"Different creatures that exist in this world with no hope, belief and trust... But none who will keep it in others while losing themself in time

"Maybe all, maybe some, maybe in short interval or through their lifetime, all could be said but all can't be said"

"It can be one world or many, it can be anything, reality is many things but also none"

"The ability is morphed and you are granted one..."

"Eternal protection"

"Mother... It's not enough!"

"Oh dear child... Talks himself while maybe not, the ability is quite good"

"I want him to be strong, i want myself to be strong"

"Hmm yes can be done.... He already has less to no restrictions but the power to bloom and blind, the power to guide is given"

The woman said as she smiled and shone with her face suddenly controting

a stab wound she fell with the child having its beautiful black eyes gauged with empty bloody sockets under her arms

Rwww-----

"AHHHHH!! HAHAAAHHH!!"

Screams echoed as Hopkins pushed Klein to the ground and sighed

"Ye.. lad has met the second sister trail"

*************

"You know, we can just teleport out of here"

Max looked at will in his shoulders and asked

"Yes we can...*hoot* but we have to report to sir illian"

"Yes yes... We can confirm to him that... Egyptian and Japanese mythological creatures invaded this place as a report*yawn*"

"Hmm no, master, sir expects more from you"

"Yea yea, he does..."

Max said as he took a metal rod which he hung around his hip

He placed it on the ground and moved using the sandy ground as a board and drew a circle

And another circle inside the circle and drew zig zag lines around the gap

And vertical lines on the inner circle

He drew a lotus at the centre with its roots extending out and took out colour powder and coloured it as golden lotus

The picture looked like a golden rose floating on a fluffy cloud with a neat pattern

"Let's go"

*************

"Should be escape, Asmodeus?"

"Why not i just call my army?"

"What? are you planning on joining this war?"

"Maybe... I do have a lust for different servants... I can just bind them to me... Powerful and stronger ones to my army"

"Why don't you catch another demon to be under my control instead?"

"Maybe maybe not... Should I join?"
