Chapter 8: Welcome To The Table( || )

"Hello there, are you alright?" a tiny voice sounded around Nathan. "you look really weak and you are bleeding a lot, let me lend you a hand" the voice continued as a small feet appeared within Nathan's line of vision. He suddenly felt warmth within his palm as a hand intertwined with his. Nathan turned his head towards the direction of the tiny voice, and saw a little boy with beautiful alluring eyes and weirdly shaped horns protruding on his head, with a  trail of shiny black raven hair covered half of his face. His innocent cute face showed a warm smile towards Nathan. A tint of surprised  flashed before Nathan's eyes for second before returning back to its dull state. "Are you lost? I can help you find a way out of here then maybe you can join the rest of us" the little boy said helping Nathan up and dragging him by the hand, as they slowly ventured through the darkness. Nathan felt a great danger and evil aura emanating from the little boy ,but gave up the urge of running away. Besides he had nothing to live for so he might as well just give in to whatever destiny or death was awaiting him.  They walked for seemed like   hours until they came about a giant gate" once you enter through this gate all your worries will be no more, all you have to do is obey blindly " the little boy said smirking innocently. Nathan did not respond and went through the gate silently with the little boy in hand. As they walked further away an image of a magnificent mansion came to view. The mansion was grand and majestic, it had golden coatings all over and a mix shade of red added to it.

   It gave a a mysterious and dangerous aura but in a way that spikes one's interest to go deep within it uncovering its secrets. Nathan stared at the mansion deeply as a sense of wonder spiked him intriguing he himself. "Its beautiful isn't it, I can feel its mysterious secrets  calling unto me to uncover them" the little boy said closing his eyes and inhaling deeply. They approached the front door of  the mansion noticing an inscribing on it, it stated "Beyond the ocean is the end of the world, the end of the world is beyond this door. Welcome to the Vila of Vile." Nathan was intrigued by the inscribing and the draconic style of writing. They entered through the door into the mansion, upon entry Nathan was bewildered by the style of the inner part of the mansion. It gave off an  aura of antiqueness but with style. He hadn't seen a mansion as beautifully ancient as this one ,but talking of mansions this is the first time he had seen one . He silently followed the little boy as they ventured through different doors leading to a secret stairway underneath the mansion. During the whole process, Nathan was like a mindless human just following through everywhere without hesitation. The little boy eyed Nathan intently trying to notice any facial expressions or changes as they approached the final door in the dark." I wonder what kind of trauma this kid went through to make him psychologically mute" the little boy inquired silently within his thoughts. When the reached the final door, the little boy gently placed his hands on the door making it glow red. This slight action shifted them towards a new room. The room was slightly lit as the only source of light was the burning flame sitting in the middle of a gigantic table. There were people in mask of different colors and styles wearing  black cloaks with a hoodies covering all their bodies. The table was huge designed in a circular manner with weird array symbols and inscribing. "Welcome grand Chosen!" the people in cloaks echoed standing on their feet saluting the little boy. The room was immediately clouded with a red haze ,as a flash of red light scattered the room bringing forth a gigantic throne made of skulls. A pool of blood came rushing in surrounding the throne. " Hail him ! The Chosen the one who set us free! Hail him! The Chosen the one who set free!" the room immediately resonated with loud chants bursting through the walls. Out of the blues, all the people around the table got up, took a small dagger and slit their palms dripping blood unto the table whilst reciting a weird incantations.
