Arthur the resident of Casa Sanguis chorus begrudgingly accepts to document the life of Asad a teenage looking vampire of nine hundred years old

"I didn't know you had friends, Arthur," Asad said telepathically as I walked across the street. I ignored him. I was overjoyed to finally leave the house and hang out with a fellow human. "I do have friends," I replied as he continued to bug me. Truthfully, it seemed like my only companion was Asad, a vampire who was my best friend.

The mere thought of it made me laugh too hard, preventing me from noticing the car as it almost ran through me. "Have you forgotten how to cross the road?" he said. Honestly, it looked like I did; I hadn't left the house in days. "Be careful, there are vampires lurking around," Asad warned me.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I stepped into the bus. I was surprised; I had always assumed he was the only vampire in the district. "Are there more of them out there?" I said to myself. A pale young man wearing dark shades bumped into me as he walked out of the bus.

His eyes gave a reddish glow, and a chilling aura emanated from him. "Where are you, Asad?" I asked but got no response. The sudden realization that I was on my own was scary. I clutched the pocket knife in my pocket as I got off the bus.

The avenue had an eerie feeling to it; I could tell something was up. In an instant, a creature jumped in front of me, trying to bite my neck. Bam! as I kicked it to the wall. With no hesitation, I thrust my pocket knife into his heart. I smirked, finally realizing the usefulness of Asad's martial art training sessions.

"Ian!" I exclaimed, realizing he was in danger. I rushed to his apartment. The door burst open, showing signs of a forced entry, and Ian lay unconscious on the floor. A breeze blew, shutting the doors. I brought out the pocket knife, ready to defend myself, but I was knocked to the ground by the man I bumped into on the bus.

As I lay on the ground, helpless, more vampires appeared, ready to feed on me. "Let's drain him dry," Blake, the one wearing shades, said. I picked up my pocket knife and threw it at Blake's eye, crashing his shades. He removed the knife from his eye and threw it towards me with so much force capable of piercing my subclavian artery.

"Are you alright?" Asad said, holding the pocket knife. My face glimmered with joy. I managed to lift up Ian and proceeded to leave the room. "Asad, wreak havoc," I said, smirking at him as I left the room. His red eyes glowed as he telekinetically blasted the heads of the vampires, causing blood to gush out as their brain matter splattered on the ground. He proceeded to dismember Blake's head from his body. "No one tries to harm Arthur and get away with it," he said, squashing the head with his feet.

"Erm... Asad, what's with the markings on Ian's body?" I said, panicking. He came over to take a look, and the only thing that came out of his mouth was "Cheryl." I couldn't hide my surprise; apparently, one of Asad's past lovers had come to hunt us. "I know someone who can help," Asad said, teleporting us to the mysterious shop down my street.

The gigantic owl totem creeped me out; the voodoo dolls, mysterious herbs, and weird liquid substances in glass bottles were signs it was an occult shop. "What brings you here, Asad?" a woman with pale white skin and long dark hair with purple streaks asked. Beside the woman was a familiar face to Asad. "Mina!" he said in shock.

The grain of sands flew into his eyes as he walked through the sandstorm. The desert of Egypt, filled with sand and arid hot air. What brought him here ? I had no idea ,Asad complained how vampire physiology wasn’t compatible with sunlight and heat . The statement made me wonder how he seemed to be walking underneath the sun or survived that disastrous heat stroke. I remembered taking drops of his blood to develop an immunity to the heat. “ Magic “ he said.

He froze in awe as Mina walked into the store from the back door. It was like he saw a ghost, well he did see a ghost. Your Japanese lover from the fifteen century don’t just appear out of nowhere. “ Guys, we have bigger issues” I yelled. I gently placed Ian’s semi conscious body on the floor. His body was radiating heat and the strange markings of his body glowed. She walked towards Ian inspecting his body showing great interest in his condition. It wasn’t out of concern you could he was like code to crack and she was to decipher it . She said a few chants and a rune appeared out of nowhere,glowing and the light wrapped around his body.

"Thank you ,Raven" Asad said to her. I had never seen him so polite to anyone, he always had this sarcastic aura to him. She must have being the one who resurrected Mina. Something else about her caught my attention, her chants the spells they were in ancient Egyptian language. “ It was her" I blurted out unknowingly. Raven gave a look of confusion towards me . “ You were the magi Asad met in desert of Sahara “ I said. “Hahaha” his loud voice echoed in the room. He gave a smirk ,patted me on the back and let out another laugh.

“ I didn’t know, you were this bright “ he commented on my observation. I felt offended and appreciated at the same time. I walked towards Mina trying to start a conversation with her but as I opened my mouth to let out words she cut me off. “ Your friend is conscious “ she pointed at Ian. I rushed to give him a hug and didn’t bother whether his vampric state made him thirsty for blood. “ There was something strange about that bite “ Mina said. Her eyes seemed like they see through us, their internal organs and maybe more. “ A sire of yours “ she asked Asad. He became nervous, startling, sweating and just couldn’t find the words to answer her.

“ Indirectly, a vampire I sired bite him" he said mustering the courage to talk. I didn’t know he could be this awkward. She unsheathed her sword and pointed it at Ian . A strange aura seemed to wrap round her, it was her chi according to Asad vampire hunters could utilize their chi to perform great feats. She ran at him and took a swing that slashed off his left hand. Ian retaliated with a kick which she blocked with her scabbard and responded with a smacking to the ground. “ It’s a enough ,stop attacking him “ I yelled. I didn’t understand why she was trying to kill Ian .” Oh Arthur, the bite from Cheryl transferred a portion of a consciousness into him “ Asad said remorseful.

I understood what he said I just couldn’t understand how killing Ian was the solution. A simple sealing spell could prevent the Cheryl from taking over or a soul extinguishing spell could exhume the soul. “ It’s way complicated then that “ Raven said. “ Why" I asked . “ It’s a soul fusion, I slowed it down but her consciousness can still take over" she replied. Ian stood up with his left hand regenerated, claws popping out and ready to defend himself if Mina attacked. “ It’s enough guys ,Cheryl is the enemy here “ Asad said diffusing the confrontation.

Since her uneventful split from Asad, she sired tons of vampires which are currently wreaking havoc round the world. Now that she knows where Asad is ,Bristol isn’t safe from her. “ We are the ones who stand a chance against her “ he continued on . He cut of his thumb and gushed it into Ian’s mouth. His blood or his very flesh can provide a resistance towards the soul fusion . “ Raven place a sigil on everyone in town protecting them from the vampires “ he ordered. He immediately took over as the leader dishing out roles to everyone and acting as a mediator to everyone. The plan was clear ,simple and we all understood it . In a village in India, a hand tore through the ground signifying the return of a strange figure.

In the very beginning, the big bang occurred, leading to the creation of our very universe. Star dust miniscule particles, which formed the building blocks of life, spread in every direction from the cosmic confetti. Special human beings gained the ability to freely manipulate star dust to accomplish great deeds. They were known to have the "filii sidus," or, in other words, children of the star.

Chaos ravaged the earth; bolts of crackling electricity danced across the sky and shockwaves rippling through the earth, causing the ground to tremble and quake violently. The humans fought among themselves, using the filii sidus as their soldiers. The war ended with the blame shifted towards the children of the star, causing widespread hate towards them. Mobs were organized, seeking to end any filii sidus before they could fully master their abilities.

Clank! The wheels of her skateboard hit a large metal container while trying to perform a flip. She lived in a dystopia community—the slums of all the slums. Earth had never been the same after the intercontinental war. You could say it had reset itself to the dark ages. The advancements in science and technology of their century were seen as myths by the ghetto people. They were stuck in the 23rd century. The streets are lined with abandoned vehicles and makeshift shanties, home to desperate survivors.

"Check this out," he said, performing an ollie. They all stared in awe. He performed a mid-air twist without grabbing the skateboard. "I can do better," she scoffed. She had this rivalry with Hakeem, the popular kid on their block. He walked slowly towards her, grabbing the board on his left arm, and gave a deep breath. "You mind showing us, "he said with a smirk on his face. She immediately tried to hide the tension on her face and placed her board on the floor. "Common Aliyah, you just need to outshine that jerk," she said to herself.

Aliyah took a deep breath, positioned their feet carefully on the deck, and pushed off, gaining speed as she approached the launch ramp. With a swift motion, Aliyah popped the tail of the board, launching into the air. The board spun rapidly beneath them, flipping three times in a blur of motion. Midway through the trick, she felt a sudden shift, a slight wobble in their stance. The board began to veer off its intended course, its rotations becoming erratic. "Oh no," she whispered to herself. She had lost her balance; the rest of the crew, including Hakeem, prepared themselves to catch her.

She couldn't stand the thought of being saved by Hakeem; she couldn't give him a chance to tease her. She gave a deep breath; her eyes faintly glowed, giving her access to star dust miniscule particles. Her concentration remained steady as she telekinetically flipped in the air and landed on the ground with the skateground in her hand. "How did you do that? "Hakeem asked. He was shocked; she couldn't have flipped like that. Actually, no one could; she had to think of an excuse like fast. "I am a great acrobat," she bellowed. She was a pretty skilled liar, a great skill she used in getting out of trouble. "Well..." Hakeem voiced but was halted by Aliyah's hand. "I gotta leave," she hastily dashed away.

Whiz, she slid over the abandoned vehicle and landed on the floor gently. She didn't head back home; apparently she saw a strange individual in a cloak. Most people would report to an adult, but she wasn't most people. Aliyah was a smart, crafty, and mischievous lady. Her parents gave her the nickname "monkey" in respect to her personality. The coast was clear; she picked up its trail and swished away. It was an abandoned garage with tons of wrecked-up cars and oil all over the floor. "Thought you could corner me," the figure stood on a truck. It ripped off the cloak revealing itself. It was a cyborg, or he was a cyborg with blonde spiky hair and blue bionic eyes. The rest of his body was bionic with a mix of fleshy parts."Filii sidus, you are one of them," he said. "You purposely lured me here," Aliyah yelled with her eyes glowing blue.

She was scared; the filii sidus were usually hunted down and killed. She inherited her abilities from her mother, who hid her abilities all her life, and she was to the same. A bluish aura covered her wrist, and she levitated a few feet off the floor. "What do you want from me?" she roared, forming a cyclone. He remained unperturbed; her displays were amateurish at best. "I was sent to get you out of here," he said. She raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Sigh," he took in a deep breath. His eyes glowed, and a holographic video appeared. Five filii sidus came together and formed a sanctuary for their kind. The sanctuary grew and became the Order of Star Dust. The video stopped playing, and he stretched out his hand, offering to protect her.

A bunch of images painfully went through their heads. "Hakeem," she yelled. She dashed off, rushing to help her friend. Her topmost speed would get to the destination in two hours. She took in a deep breath. Her eyes faintly glowed and went boom. She arrived at the destination with Hakeem laying on the floor bleeding and patrol officers beating up the rest of the kids. "They did this," Aliyah said angrily. She was the only one who could save Hakeem, but with the cost of exposing herself. She placed her hands on his injuries, and a bluish aura appeared. It slowly wrapped the wound, moving like a viscous fluid, and her eyes radiated with blue light. The blood stopped gushing, and the wound closed up. "Aliyah, what are you doing?" he groaned. The patrol officers stopped hitting the kids and shot a bullet at Aliyah.

Thwack! He blocked the bullet with his hand. "You," she said, surprised. "My name is Jesse," he replied. The cyborg blitzed to the patrol officers, throwing an uppercut at one. He twirled and released a laser beam, slashing off their hands. "We have to leave before a mob forms, "he asserted. They came out one by one with their weapons, ready to terminate the filial sidus. "I will hold them off while you perform your trick," Jesse explained. He appeared in front of a huge man, punching him in the gut. He grabbed the hand of another man, dislocated the bone, and punched him in the face. They released bullets at him, but they hit an invisible wall. He gave a smirk and began a blitzkrieg on the mob. Jesse was super fast. Aliyah couldn't see him attacking them, but all she could hear was the screams as he landed hits on their vitals. She released a blast, knocking everyone to the ground. "Let's go,she uttered. A blue light illuminated them and sent them crashing to an abandoned barn. "Where the fuck did you transport us to?" Jesse yelled.


[ Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum  ]

Dr. Zach: "Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to a truly extraordinary episode of 'The Viral Pep Talk.' I'm your host, Dr. Zach, and yes, I've been accused of insanity and other mental problems—but today, I promise you, this interview is absolutely real. Well, as real as our imaginations can make it.

We often view viruses as deadly parasites, but from their perspective, they're just doing what it takes to survive. Today, we'll explore their world, their struggles, and their drive to exist.

Let's meet our distinguished guests:

First, we have HIV, the relentless virus that has redefined medicine and human history with its persistence and adaptability.

Next, the infamous SARS-CoV-2, a newcomer that has turned the world upside down with its rapid spread and severe impact.

Then, the ever-evolving Influenza B Virus, a master of disguise that returns each year with a new trick up its sleeve.

And finally, the formidable Ebola Virus, or EBOV, whose outbreaks cause global alarm and fear.

These viruses aren't here to apologize or justify their actions—they're here to survive, just like us. So, let's dive in and hear their side of the story. Welcome to 'The Viral Pep Talk.'"

[Theme music fades out]

Dr Zach: I am back with few questions for our notable guests. Alright HIV ,this question is for you."What’s a day in the life of a virus like?"

[Dun-dun-dun-dun-dunnnn]

HIV:Well, darlin', a day in the life of HIV is quite the wild ride. I mosey on into a body through blood or other means, and once I’m in, I set my sights on them CD4 cells. I latch on, sneak my way inside, and turn my RNA into DNA to blend right in.

Then, I take over, gettin' those cells to make more of me. I’m busy all day long, churnin' out new virus particles that go off to infect more cells. The immune system’s always tryin' to catch me, and them antiviral meds sure do put up a fight. But I’m a crafty one, always mutatin' and adaptin' to keep ahead.

So, my day’s all about infectin', replicatin', and evadin'—keepin' one step ahead of the game.

Dr.Zach : Wow, you sure are a busy virus ain't you .

HIV: Awww....thank you ( blushing)

Dr. Zach: This question was directed to everyone. Hmmm......Do you have any advice for other viruses trying to make a name for themselves?

[ Bee- doo,bee- do ]

SARS-COV-2:Oh my gosh, totally! If you wanna make a name for yourself like I did, you gotta think big—like, global. When I first showed up, I knew I had to make an impact. So, I went all out and started a pandemic.

First, I made myself super contagious. Airborne transmission was key. People spreading me without even knowing they had me? Genius, right? Then, I hit major travel hubs to get global fast. I made sure symptoms varied so I could sneak around and keep everyone on their toes.

Social media was my BFF, spreading info (and panic) like wildfire. News coverage was nonstop; I was everywhere. Lockdowns, masks, vaccines—it was all about staying relevant and unpredictable.

So, if you're a virus looking to go viral, literally, remember: be contagious, be global, and keep everyone guessing. Make sure they can't forget you!

EBOV: Preach Sister!!!!!

Dr.Zach: Well we have it, newbie viruses if you wanna go big.  You gotta be contagious,unpredictable and be global.

Influenza B:Estoy impresionado with the questions and how you are hosting this talk show, Dr. Zach. You are doing a good job.

Dr. Zach: Thank you B,I got this special question for you. Do you have any thoughts on climate change and its impact on your habitat?

[  La-la-la....dum dum ]

Influenza B:"Oh, claro! Climate change, it's like a mixed bag for me, ¿sabes? On one hand, as temperatures warm up, people might think flu season will get shorter. Pero, guess what? The changing climate can actually make my job easier in some ways.

You see, with warmer winters, people let their guard down, thinking the flu isn't a big deal. But I can still spread, especially in crowded places. And with extreme weather events, like hurricanes and floods, folks end up in shelters and close quarters, which is perfecto for me to spread.

También, climate change can mess with bird migration patterns. Since I'm often carried by birds, this can help me find new places to hang out and spread. So, while it's a challenge, it also presents new opportunities for me to adapt and thrive.

Así que, whether it’s hot or cold, I’ll find a way. ¡Siempre lo hago!"

Dr.Zach: Thank you for your response and we would continue with more after our short break.

[Da-da-da-da-da-da-dum]

Dr.Zach: Alright folks ,we are back again. EBOV, What’s the craziest place you’ve ever been found?

EBOV:The craziest place I've ever been found? Definitely the inside of a bat's cave in the middle of the African rainforest. It's dark, damp, and teeming with life—perfect for a virus like me to thrive and surprise the world.

Dr.Zach: Not bad, the next question is for y'all . What's your opinion on Vaccines?

SARS-COV-2: Oh my gosh, they literally try to kill us with everything—like, vaccines, antivirals, and all that. It's a total nightmare!

Influenza: Vaccines are like poisons, trying to kill us by activating our host's immune system. Es una locura! They make the body fight us off, and it's so hard to deal with. Pero, we still find ways to survive and adapt!

Dr. Zach:Have you ever faced an existential crisis when confronted with antiviral medications ?

EBOV: Absolutely, mate. There was this one time, an antiviral medication came at me full force. It blocked the enzymes I needed to replicate, like throwing a wrench in my whole operation. I couldn't make copies of myself, and without new viruses to spread, I dwindled away. It was a close call, but luckily, I've got a knack for mutations.

[SARS-COV-2 and Influenza B]: We all suffer existential crisis expect from HIV.

DR.Zach: Hmmm.....HIV this question is personally for you. Do you ever feel guilty about making people sick?

HIV:Well, you know, I usually don't get all sentimental 'bout things like that, but there was this one special case that kinda got to me. Freddie Mercury, bless his soul, he passed from AIDS. I gotta admit, it hit me hard, feelin' sad 'bout takin' him. Sometimes, even us viruses, we reckon with the consequences of what we do.

Dr.Zach:What’s the biggest misconception people have about you guys?

EBOV: That we are killers

SARS-COV-2: Do you get ?

Influenza B: "It's kinda hypocritical, humans feed on plants y animals. No se consideran asesinos, they're just survivin', como dicen ellos. Y así somos nosotros, just servin' the function we exist for."

DR. Zach: What do you do for fun when you’re not infecting hosts ?

SARS-COV-2:OMG, when I'm not infecting hosts, I'm like, lurking in the air, vibing and spreading. I love chilling in droplets, especially in crowded places—concerts, parties, you name it. And hey, mutating is kinda fun, too. Keeps things interesting, ya know?

Dr.Zach: I guess mutating is a recurring thing for you guys. I guess this is the last question. How do you feel about your role in evolution and genetic diversity ?

HIV : How we feel ? "Well, darlin', reckon we play a mighty big role in all that evolution and genetic diversity stuff. See, when we infect a host, we mix things up real good. Our genes mingle with theirs, sometimes even jumpin' to new species. It's like a genetic rodeo out there, shapin' life in ways folks don't always see. So yeah, we are key players in keepin' things diverse and evolving."

Dr.Zach: We have come to the end of this talk show. Thank you HIV ,SARS-CoV-2, Influenza B and EBOV for having us .

[Clap, Clap, Clap,Clap ]

[Whoosh]

Dr.Zach: Who turned off the light?

Once upon a time in the dental galaxy, there was a big bang! Well, not exactly a bang, but more like a cosmic explosion of toothy proportions. Picture this: the universe starts as a singular point, just like your mouth before braces or fillings.

Now, imagine your mouth as the epicenter of this dental universe, with teeth as planets, stars, and galaxies. But oh no! There are these pesky black holes called cavities, sucking the life out of your teeth. That's where fillings come in, like little shining stars, bringing stability and light to save the day!

But wait, the planets (aka your teeth) are all wonky and falling out of alignment. Enter braces, the superhero gravitational force that swoops in to align those pearly planets just right.

Now, think of routine cleanings as cosmic spa days for your mouth, keeping everything in tip-top shape by zapping away buildup like cosmic background radiation.

And then there are root canals, the dental supernovae! They're like intense, transformative events that might sound scary, but they're crucial for blasting away deep-seated tooth infections and keeping your dental universe intact.

A bunch of super cool humans help in keeping this universe in balance. They recommend potions which help your mouth clean, probably cast a little spell to deal with that pesky tooth ache. Just a single touch from these magical beings ignites the journey from decay and misalignment to a radiant smile.  They're definitely not sorcerers or alchemists. What's the word ? Yeah ,they are called dentists.

Everything has a starting point, dentists didn't start popping out of nowhere like babies .Astounding right, I guess people didn't just grab a scalpel and just started dealing with the oral cavities. Well maybe they did before dentists were the barber surgeons whom had a very crude manner of yanking out teeth with their gigantic pelican. The framework of modern Dentistry started in France. Yup, Pierre Fauchard, the Father of Modern Dentistry decided cook up a really weird spell book.

"Le Chirurgien Dentiste rédigé en 1728 fut la première description scientifique complète de la dentisterie ". Potions that could clean the mouth, tooth prostheses , models for surgical tools, braces and many more were included in this great spell book . You could say Pierre was the creator of the dental universe. The French dude holding the spiral toothy universe in his hands.

Let's spin the globe a little bit ,that's it and bam finally pinpointed the location. In 1964,the University of Lagos senate formed the Faculty of Dental Science. The oldest training ground for the oral sorcerers in Sub- Saharan Africa. Pretty dope, shortly after the group of students decided to form the University of Lagos Association of Dental Students. A series of events happened afterwards; we had our first female ULADS president Prof D.C Umesi and so on.The current iteration of ULADS consists of Class Arissa, Raghanalls, Orion , Clerisy and Galaxi. A new generation of dental students, learning everything about the art of Dentistry.

**_Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, October 1907_**

"I'm sorry, you can't enroll here," the director said. The young man stood shocked, struggling to hold himself together. "There has to be a reason," the young man yelled, losing his composure. He withdrew his inheritance money from his bank and left his mother, who was suffering from breast cancer, alone. The frustration was evident in his eyes; he had placed all his hopes on this. "They lacked the human element, Hitler," the director said. His face gave a confused expression but slowly understood the remark. "You have talent for architecture, why try out for the school?" the director added. Hitler smashed the desk out of anger; he felt insulted by the statement. "I am an artist," he roared, storming out of the office. He sat in the corridors, thinking of the next step. He couldn't enroll in architecture school; secondary school credentials were needed. "I can't go back there," he said, hesitant to return to complete his secondary school. He stood up, took a deep breath, and headed back to his residence.

**_The Bohemian Residence, December 1907_**

On the 21st of December, news of his mother's death came to him. Apparently, she died of the breast cancer which plagued her. She had surgery earlier this year, but it was unsuccessful. "Why did you have to go?" he wailed. Hitler really loved his ma; the memories of the time when she protected him from his father's abuse made him tear up even more. "That's enough," a tall Romani guy yelled at Hitler. He had grown tired of the incessant crying. "This won't solve anything," he continued, explaining why he should move on. The statement enraged Hitler, who was prone to violence. "Take that back, Adrian," he yelled, raising his fists at the Romani guy. He fell to the ground, overwhelmed by sadness, as Adrian comforted him.

A few days later, Adrian approached Hitler with a deal that could change his life forever. "The Occult!!!" he exclaimed. Adrian had revealed he was part of a Normandic coven. It all made sense to Hitler; most men in the shelter avoided Adrian. "What do you want to do to me?" Hitler asked, curious. The Romani smirked and explained how he intended to enhance Hitler's artistry. "No," he protested but was knocked out by a spell. Adolf found himself tied up in the center of an occult circle. "Let me go," he screamed, but he was ignored. Adrian poured boiling ink on Hitler and began to chant a spell. "Demonii artei fac din acest băiat vasul tău," he chanted ten times until an eerie glow surrounded him. As the semi-conscious Hitler lay on the floor, Adrian whispered in his ear, "I love you," and was never seen again.

**_Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, 1908_**

"A bounty of 10,000 marks for the mystery killer," Karl said, standing beside Hitler. He ignored his friend as they walked to the Academy of Fine Arts. Since that incident, he had been suffering from homicidal urges and discovered that whatever he drew came to life. "Perhaps this is a second chance for a new beginning," he said to himself. He had easily passed the first and second exams; it just remained the last exam. He walked into the room where the director and the other examiners sat. "Adolf Hitler, impress us this time," the director said. The young man took his brush and began his magnificent strokes, breathing life into each scene. Clap! The examiners were impressed by his painting. He gave a devious smirk as the creatures in the painting came to life and attacked them.

"Let the bloodshed begin," he laughed maniacally, mixing their blood with the ink. He drew more creatures to unleash chaos in the school. "You are the mystery killer," Karl yelled, running towards him with a knife. Strange ink creatures appeared and restrained him. "Please don't kill me," he said as Hitler walked towards him. "I can't kill someone who's already dead," Hitler replied. Fear struck Karl as his body began to lose its form, slowly falling to the ground like ink droplets. "What's happening?" he cried out desperately, demanding an answer. Hitler revealed information that scared him; the real Karl had died several months ago. "I am a clone," he said as his body fully dissolved.

**_The Great Vienna,1925_**

Seventeen years had passed since the bloodshed at the Academy of Fine Arts. The academy had remained closed ever since, but the murders continued. He exhaled a puff of cigarette and stared at the bartender. Hitler had grown a lot since 1908; he was an adult who made his living off his arts. "One more drink," he bellowed. He poured the drink into the cup but hesitated, entering a deep thought. "Amelie," he said. The strange French woman who came into his life three years ago, he loved her so much in his own twisted way. "I haven't found concrete proof," she wrote on her paper. She felt the paintings were watching her, and it gave her chills. She decided to step into his study room, which she was banned from. The room was filled with grotesque images that had the strange smell of blood. "What's this?" she exclaimed, falling to the ground, but something terrified her even more - the baritone voice.

"Why are you here?" he asked. She remained on the ground, paralyzed with fear. "You know something, Amelie," he roared, summoning ink creatures to surround her. She dropped the facade and revealed they weren't alone. Instantly, various armed men showed up, ready to attack. "I was a spy from the police," she said. Hitler stood shocked; his unstable mind couldn't take the betrayal and heartbreak and began to laugh maniacally. "Attack my men," Captain Max yelled to the officers. Blood splattered on the floor; severed hands, legs, and muscles of the officers laid on the floor. "You can't kill me, I'm..." he staggered. Captain Max shot him with a bullet covered with holy water. Hitler, determined, used the last of his strength to blow up the house; fire ravaged the building as Max and Amelie managed to escape. They found his corpse and submitted it for an autopsy. "We killed the demon," Captain Max reported to his seniors.

**_The Demon Awakes_**
"A ticket to Germany," he said, handing over the money. He had changed his looks to evade being detected; he walked onto the train with the ink bird on his shoulder. Meanwhile, in the Vienna Police Headquarters, the supposed corpse of Hitler lost its form and reverted into ink.

"Der Pinselstrich" is a chilling tale of Adolf Hitler's descent into darkness, blending elements of the occult, artistic talent, and homicidal urges. Rejected from art school, Hitler's encounter with the mysterious Romani, Adrian, leads to a pact that grants him supernatural abilities. As his paintings come to life with deadly consequences, Hitler becomes a notorious killer pursued by authorities. With a shocking twist at every turn, "Der Pinselstrich" is a gripping narrative of madness, betrayal, and the terrifying power of the human psyche.

"Run!" a man yelled, signaling for the others to fall back to the other side of the trench. The Allied soldiers scrambled for cover, their hearts pounding as bullets whizzed past, fired by relentless Axis soldiers. Most were unfortunate as the bullets struck their bodies, sending them to Hades' abode. "Damn those Nazis," a soldier said as he held his chest, pierced by the bullet, as he fell to the ground.

The Axis had tricked the Allies again; they seemed to be a domineering force in the war. "Heil Hitler!" they roared as they drew closer to the Allied trench. Suddenly, the battlefield became quiet, the soldiers cowering in the trenches, clutching their guns. "Had reinforcements arrived, or is this some trick?" they thought to themselves. They couldn't risk coming out into the open. A blinding flash of light illuminated the scene, followed by a thunderous boom that reverberated through the air. The bomb blast tore through the Allied ranks, eliminating them all.

In September 1939, Nigeria entered the scene of World War Two following the government's acceptance of the war declared on Nazi Germany by the UK. About two months prior, the government met with indigenous politicians, notably Nnamdi Azikiwe and Herbert Macaulay. "In response to the shortage of manpower, you seek to use my people to fight your war," Macaulay rioted. They weren't surprised by his response; they had a plan.

"If the Allies lose this war, the Axis would run wild in Africa," a high-ranking official said, manipulating the Anti-Nazi sentiments they shared. "We shall help you convince the rest of Nigerians to show support for the war," Nnamdi said. Sir Bernard Henry Bourdillon stood up and smirked. "A committee would be formed for the war," he said, dismissing the meeting as he left the room. The Nigerian War Relief Fund was formed a few days after Nigeria joined the world war.

A regiment of soldiers marched in unison, their boots pounding against the hard-packed earth with rhythmic precision. Rifles slung over their shoulders and backpacks laden with supplies as they sang war songs. They had been deployed to Eastern Asia to fight against the Japanese. "The battle at Kenya was terrifying," Aremo said, recounting his experience from the last location they had fought.

He looked different from most of the soldiers, smaller and noticeably younger. The majority of the men willingly signed up, but youngsters around the age of sixteen were conscripted. "Focus," Emeka chided him, having grown tired of protecting him. The young Yoruba boy was mainly surrounded by three older men - Emeka, Jibirilu, and Edaza. "I heard the Japanese are ferocious, ka sani," Jibirilu said, gesturing how they eliminate their enemies. Edaza scoffed; the aura of superiority surrounded him. How he viciously killed twenty Italians remained engraved in Aremo's memories.

They had reached the Japanese camp ready to strike. "Let's go," Major Benjamin signaled. They let out a battle cry as they readied their rifles, shooting any Japanese that came their way. The sounds of bullets resonated through the battlefield, hitting as many targets as they could. Thud, the bullet bounced off Aremo's helmet; the young boy stood paralyzed in fear. "Move it, ka sani," Jibirilu yelled, tackling a soldier to the ground and instantly thrusting his knife into its heart. "Bari a zubar da jini," he shouted.

"Oh shut it," Edaza replied, savagely firing bullets at the Japanese. It was like he was in a blind rage. Boom, Emeka pushed Aremo away from a grenade thrown at him. "You need to be more careful, onye nzuzu," Emeka chided him. He suffered minor burns; he laid on the ground exhausted trying to recover his stamina. The battle continued for hours, with both sides exhausted and drained. The Japanese had released a biological weapon which wiped out a significant portion of the unit. Our determination remained high, soldiers like Jibirilu and Edaza kept pushing on, fighting till the end.

About a year later to that event, the war had ended. Soldiers like Jibirilu, Edaza, Emeka, and Aremo gathered for the celebration ceremony of the war. The commanding officer General William Silm showed little recognition for Nigerian efforts in the war much to their dismay. "Wadancan ’yan iskan banza," Jibirilu voiced out his anger. He lost his left leg in the final war against the Japanese. "Wetuo obi," Emeka said, patting his back.

Things back home were worse excessive taxing, frustrated Nigerians causing a strong detest for colonial rule. Countries like India, Pakistan, and so on gained their independence from the UK. The exposure from the war fueled their desire for independence. On the 22nd of June, 1945 seventeen Labour Unions and two hundred thousand workers went on a strike sparking the events that set off the fight for independence against colonial rule.

This gripping narrative depicts the harrowing experiences of Nigerian soldiers during World War II, their valor on the battlefield, and the challenges they faced both during and after the war. It highlights the complexities of colonialism, the sacrifices made by Nigerian soldiers, and the seeds of independence sown amidst the turmoil of war.

The sixties was his favorite time period, a statement he mentioned frequently. "Your generation's music is terrible; the Beatles are the best!" he yelled. I had always wondered how he enjoyed the sixties; my opinion of Asad was the vampire who loathed his immortality. Unlike most people would, he viewed his immortality as a curse rather than a blessing. "Life was something I always lived to the fullest," he said, smirking at me. He must have read my mind again; I found it annoying. "I thought we had a deal," I yelled, voicing my displeasure with his constant invasion of my mind. He laughed and sipped the blood from his wine cup as his eyes glowed red.

He joined a hippie commune in the year 1961, where the colorful tents, hand-painted signs, and vibrant garden bursting with wildflowers and communal artwork never quite fit in with Asad's vibes. "Why did you join?" I asked, curious. He laughed and said, "Hippies are a fun group of people; there was something special about them." I couldn't comprehend what was special about them; I had always known hippies as a smelly group of people who rejected mainstream beliefs.

"You aren't wrong," he said, lighting his cigarette. He exhaled a puff of smoke and took a deep breath. "It was a girl," he said, not trying to hide the blush on his face. He mentioned the only love of his life was Mina, a vampire hunter he met in fifteenth-century Japan. It ended tragically between them as he accidentally killed Mina during one of his rampages. That was presumably one of the reasons why he loathed being a vampire. "How did you meet this girl?" I asked, smiling at him

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712335598314-YAKIHONNES3.jpg).

"Her name is Cheryl," he said. He described her as a tall sixteen-year-old, light-skinned for a black person, and she kept her hair in braids. He had been observing her before she joined the commune. "Why?" I interjected. "She reminded me of Mina," Asad said. On the night he met her, she was attacked by a white mob. "Lynching was pretty common," he recounted. He described how he tore the flesh of the mob with his claws and drank their blood until the brink right in front of her. Through a series of mental manipulations, he somewhat persuaded her into joining the hippie commune.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712335699262-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

The two met physically at the commune during a bonfire event. "We took a lot of drugs together," he giggled, remembering how high she was. It was a rare moment of connection; they were both intoxicated, doing the weirdest things. Cheryl was everything Asad loved about the sixties: a great fan of the Beatles, astronomy, and a human rights activist. "Someday I wish I can go to the moon," she said as they watched Neil Armstrong's rocket launch into the sky. "Ach!" she heard as she stepped further into the woods; corpses seemed to fill the world. "I know these guys," she said, shocked as every white guy who had harassed her lay on the ground dead. "Mr. Smith!" she exclaimed as he choked on his blood.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712335805839-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

Asad appeared right in front of her with blood all over his body. "You are free," he said, moving closer as he kissed her. The two shared an intimate moment on the ground filled with corpses. "You told her!" I yelled; he had never revealed he was a vampire to anyone, not even Mina. She knew he was just using her; Asad was bored, and who else would be his plaything than an insecure teenager? Cheryl wanted to be like him, a vampire, and she orchestrated a plan to turn into him.

"You might need to finish up the story later," I said, covering my mouth as I yawned. He glared at me, annoyed that I lost interest in his story. "This might hurt a bit," he muttered, placing his finger on my forehead, flooding my mind with telepathic images: the commune burning down and people screaming. "You killed her," I said heavily, patting him. He nodded in disagreement; he explained how she had his blood in her system. "From the fire, emerged a vampire who despised me," he said. He had sired a bloodthirsty vampire.

What are beginnings? The Big Bang can be likened to cosmic confetti, as it initiated the creation of our universe with a dazzling display of energy and matter. Would it be the New Year fireworks that signify the start of a new era? Are beginnings signified by the wailing of a child as it enters a new world of possibilities, embarking on its journey as a person? The exchange of vows by couples portrays a new beginning, marking the start of a lifelong journey together. Honestly, there are several ways beginnings can be defined. Do they have to be small or extravagant? I have no clue, but I feel each person has their own distinct beginning—a start of a chapter. We don't exactly have to share the same origin point with everyone else.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712334443709-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

Everyone has some kind of origin story—Bruce Wayne does, I do, and I am pretty sure you do too. A starting point leads to a form of character development or growth, which could be good or bad. Julius Caesar didn't simply become the dictator of Rome out of the blue, nor did Pierre Fauchard become the renowned Father of Modern Dentistry seemingly overnight. They had an awakening, a force that pushed them to be the renowned individuals we know.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712334492988-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

 There are cases where the end leads to the start of a new beginning. The closing of a chapter is like the start of a new one; the end of secondary school literally leads to the start of a new life in the university. Even death, the end of all life, steers the deceased into a whole new path—the afterlife. Failure is an aspect of beginnings, serving as a natural part of the learning process. It's through failure that we gain valuable insights, learn important lessons, and ultimately grow stronger and more resilient. Embracing failure allows us to navigate challenges with perseverance, ultimately paving the way for growth.

![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1712335020471-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

Beginnings permeate every aspect of our lives, from the grand narrative of existence to the intricate details of daily interactions. In academia, they signal the commencement of new learning journeys and intellectual pursuits, while socially, they mark the inception of friendships, relationships, and community bonds. Mentally, beginnings represent the start of personal growth and self-discovery, guiding us through transformative experiences and the pursuit of self-improvement. Financial beginnings manifest as the launch of careers, investments, and financial planning endeavors, shaping our paths towards stability and prosperity. Across these realms, beginnings serve as catalysts for growth, opportunity, and the endless possibilities that define the human experience.

Seven years had elapsed since that peculiar event, and the trio had finally graduated from high school. They bid farewell to that dreaded institution, which Iřma referred to as a "furging hell hole." Despite the trials they faced, their friendship endured the tumultuous high school years, weathering various events that caused the trio to drift apart and come back together.

College brought about a stark change in their surroundings and social dynamics. Transitioning from an all-girls school to a coeducational environment presented new challenges and opportunities. "We will always remain friends, not just friends, but sisters," Imani declared solemnly before Sorella and Iřma. It was a declaration fortified by Iřma's magic. These days, however, Iřma hesitated to wield her magic. She had often borne the consequences of dabbling in the supernatural, pushed to extreme lengths to assist her friends.

A slender figure approached them, breaking the moment of reflection. He wore a jacket over a crisp white shirt, a dangling anchor necklace adorning his neck. Alexander, an intriguingly peculiar individual, possessed eccentricities that rivaled Iřma's. "How are you doing, baby?" Imani chimed in a playful tone, viewing him as a younger sibling. Alexander reciprocated with affection, his admiration for her apparent, much to Sorella's annoyance. He could sense her irritation, his psychic abilities granting him insight into her emotions.

"Wolfie," he teased Sorella, eliciting shock from her. It seemed as though he was privy to her secret. Her body responded instinctively, claws protruding from her fingers as the demon wolf instincts took hold. "Sorella!" Iřma's voice pierced through the transformation, snapping her out of the trance. "Let's go," Iřma commanded, gesturing towards the pathway. They had planned to purchase snacks and convene for a group study session. The trio remained wary of Alexander, prompting Iřma to connect them telepathically via a spell.

"He emits the same aura as Machir," Sorella remarked. Imani expressed skepticism, citing her firsthand witness of Iřma defeating him. Iřma calmly acknowledged the possibility of Machir's survival, acknowledging demons' ability to resurrect themselves. Unbeknownst to them, Alexander subtly eavesdropped on their psychic conversation.

"Machir," he whispered into their psychic space, infiltrating their minds with ease. He ensnared them in a traumatic memory: their final battle against Machir. Sorella and Iřma screamed in terror, but Imani's strong willpower allowed her to resist the illusion. Somehow, Iřma faltered, unable to maintain the telepathic connection due to Alexander's intervention. "What happened?" he inquired, noticing their distress. "Nothing," Imani replied softly, affected by the forced psychic disruption.

She rose and excused herself, visibly shaken. Sorella, possessing the weakest psychic resistance among them, felt the effects deeply. Alexander was far from finished; he sought to torment her further. Illusions of Machir infiltrated her mind, compelling her to flee. However, she found herself ensnared by a rope made of intestines, her transformation into the demon wolf initiated. Alexander had succeeded in breaking her, seizing control and unleashing her on a bloodthirsty rampage.

An eerie smoke permeated the study room where Iřma, Imani, and Alexander resided. "Machir," Iřma whispered as a plant vine ensnared her, carrying her away. Imani swiftly drew her belt, a makeshift sword, as Alexander demanded an explanation, yearning to know who Machir was. "Forsvind fra dette sted," Iřma chanted, attempting to teleport him to safety, but he incapacitated her and Imani. The duo lay lifeless in an abandoned building, trapped in a psychic dimension created by Alexander.

The story starts with Iřma,Sorella and Imani confronting the interdomensional demon Machir in their early high school years. Time skip to college where a series of paranormal adventure drew them to form a group called "Church of D" alongside Alexander,Sharon,Levi ,Donnie,Miguel,Esméralda, Amelie and Nate.Together they battle supernatural forces that threatens their town/world.

He placed his finger on the blood splattered on the ground examining it: the texture, stickiness and all sorts . "It's an animal attack" he said to himself. The 5'5 teenager dressed in a black hoodie and wearing blue jean stood in the midst of the victims of the supposed animal attack. He wasn't supposedly allowed to the scene of the crime but he needed to get to the bottom of it .

Levi had always been a fan of the occult and was a good friend of Iřma . Unlike Iřma who was descended from a lineage of witches. Levi was a completely human being who delved into sorcery . " Iřma has been missing for two weeks " he said to himself still examining the corpse.  He had grown suspicious of her sudden disappearance aiming to connect with the bizarre incidents happening on campus.
He brought his knife and silt his wrists spilling blood on the ground and chanted a spell . "Chè lespri, montre m evènman ki te fèt nan anviwònman sa a " he chanted five times. The blood began to glow and eerie blur images appeared, a dark gigantic wolf attacking and killing the students . " I am not as skilled as Iřma" he said to himself. His magic skills were crude compared to Iřma's, his dectective skills and intellect made up for his subpar sorcery skills .

"Demon wolf" he said cleverly deducing the identity of the strange animal." Chè lespri, bay yon sant bèt dyabolik sa a " he said allowing him to track down the demon wolf. Sorella forcibly trapped in her demon wolf form by the psychic Alexander lurked in the dark trying to feed on her friend Sharon.  She slashed off her right hand, Sharon unfazed simply solidified the blood and connected her hand back. She was one of the very few people with supernatural abilities.

"Chè lespri boule l " he shouted summoning flames  incinerating the demon wolf.  "Arrrgh" she roared slashing Levi with her claws instantly running towards him  to deliver a powerful bite on his neck. " The wolf is Sorella " Sharon yelled restraining her with blood tendrils . He muttered a few words releasing a blast that pushed Sorella back. " I have a plan to transform her back,Sharon hold her off for five minutes" he said.  She shot blood spikes at Sorella and proceeded to boil her blood to 150⁰C causing her great discomfort. Sharon was a sweet girl and a pacifist but she had be pushed to be confrontational.

"Chè lespri, kite lanati pran ekilib transfòme bèt nan bwa move lespri sou fòm imen li "he chanted for the final time.  An eerie glow surrounded Sorella painfully transforming her back to her human form.Sharon stared at her body and said" It's funny how much of a headache she was a demon wolf " ."Alexander wants to release and merge with Machir " she blurted out immediately she woke up . The two stared at her looking so confused.

Alexander reveals his psychic abilities to Donnie the child of light. Donnie had a bright future he had no idea about. He was the saviour of the espers(humans with supernatural abilities), the most powerful of them all and the one who would lead them glory . Alexander had one plan befriend this child of the light and use him to enchance his goals of Espers domination.

"It was a pretty weird day," she said, sitting on the chair right beside her friend. Iřma, Sorella, and Imani reminisced about how their little trio began. It all started in high school, that miserable place filled with teenagers marked by the challenges of puberty and the complexities of social dynamics. The annoying teachers added to the bubbling potion with their lectures and rules. Their high school was no different; they went to an all-girls school, which made it even more dramatic and filled with different cliques.

Iřma and Imani first crossed paths in their first year of school. It was like a classic story of the jock meeting the dork, but in reality, they were both unpopular kids trying to figure out their lives in the chaos of high school. They had numerous adventures together, but one particular adventure stood out from the rest.

There was a demon feeding on the blood of schoolgirls, and a senior named Amber had tricked Imani into confronting the demon. "What are you going to do?" Iřma asked, patting her on the back. Imani had been shedding tears, wondering how she was going to deal with the terrifying situation.

"I am coming with you," Iřma said, ready to aid her friend in her ordeal. She had a few tricks up her sleeve. Iřma descended from a coven of witches, and she pulled out a dusty book from her bag, ready to set off with Imani to the demon's lair.

Machir, the demon, resided in an abandoned building on the outskirts of the school. The connection to electricity had been cut off from the building, rendering it dark and eerie. Iřma and Imani carefully navigated through the building, holding each other's hands.

"Luminous," Iřma chanted a spell, summoning a brilliant blimp of light that illuminated the room. They ascended the stairs, passing through some eerie corridors. Suddenly, a ravaging beast lunged at Imani, causing her to fall down the stairs. Drool dripped from the beast's mouth and landed on her face.

Iřma acted swiftly, shooting a magic blast at the creature, causing it to slowly and painfully transform back into a human. The figure lying on the floor with ripped clothes turned out to be Sorella.

"Sorella," Imani said, shocked to see her there. It was her friend she had met in class. "Why am I here?" Sorella asked, clearly confused by her bizarre situation.

The trio found themselves in an unexpected predicament, with more questions than answers. Little did they know that this peculiar encounter would be the beginning of a series of even stranger adventures that would strengthen their friendship and change their lives forever.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1711442787923-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

The sun was setting on the small town, casting long shadows over the dusty streets. Edwin, David, and Æthelred had just arrived, their mission clear: to find out as much as possible about the notorious Samael.

The trio quickly made their way to the local tavern, hoping to find someone who knew something about the elusive demon.

Inside, they found the place surprisingly empty, save for a solitary figure slumped over the counter, nursing a mug of ale. The man looked old and weathered, with deep creases etched into his face.

Edwin and David approached him cautiously, while Æthelred hung back, keeping watch.

"Excuse me, sir," Edwin said, trying to get the man's attention. "We were wondering if you could help us. We're looking for information on a man named Samael."

The old man looked up, his eyes scanning the trio skeptically. "And why would you be looking for him?" he asked gruffly."We have business with him," David replied evasively.

The man snorted. "Business with Samael? You're either very brave or very foolish." He took a long swig of his ale before continuing. "Well, I can't say I know much about him, but I've heard a few things.

They say he's got eyes like fire and a voice like thunder. He's got a bodyguard, too.A fierce creature named Anubis. If you're looking for trouble, that's where you'll find it."

The trio thanked the man and left the tavern, mulling over the information they had just received. They knew they had to act fast if they were going to find Samael before he slipped away again.

With Æthelred's help, they quickly tracked down Samael's location. It was a dark, foreboding fortress, nestled in the mountains. As they approached, they were greeted by a swarm of undead, led by none other than Anubis himself.

The slayers split up, Edwin, David, and Ella taking on Anubis and his minions, while Æthelred and Ada went after Samael himself. The battle was fierce and bloody, with the slayers fighting tooth and nail to survive.

But it was Æthelred who faced the biggest challenge of all. Samael was formidable opponent, and Æthelred was quickly overwhelmed. His newly found abilities were no match for the demon's power.

As the battle raged on, Edwin found himself on the ground, blood oozing from a deep wound in his side. David had a nasty cut on his leg, and Ella was struggling to keep the undead at bay.

Just when all seemed lost,Ella remembered the magic card Lucendi had given her. With a burst of light, a familiar spirit appeared, dazzling in its brilliance. The spirit made short work of the undead, and with a final blast, it defeated Anubis.

Æthelred, meanwhile, was still locked in battle with Samael. But the demon had noticed something strange about the angel-demon-human hybrid. With a vicious blow, he knocked Æthelred out and left the area, disappearing into the shadows.

As the slayers regrouped, they realized that their mission was far from over. Samael was still out there, and they had to find him before he caused any more harm. With renewed determination, they set out once more, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

The story revolves around the conflict between angels and demons, with Lux, an angel, as the protagonist. Lux finds himself engaged in a fierce battle against the formidable demon, Nox, and seeks the help of a mortal named Æthelred. Despite emerging victorious, Lux grapples with the moral implications of their actions and yearns to undo the devastation caused by the conflict. The narrative explores themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the consequences of power, culminating in a mysterious twist that propels Lux back in time.

The air was thick with tension as Mormon found himself chained up in a dark and damp dungeon. The sound of dripping water echoed through the room as he struggled against his restraints, trying to break free.

His captors, Bishop Edgar and his team of slayers, had left him here to rot, but Mormon refused to give up hope.

Suddenly, the door creaked open and in walked Bishop Edgar, his grandfather. Mormon scowled at the old man, his hatred for him growing stronger with each passing moment.

"Well, well, well," Bishop Edgar said, smirking at Mormon. "Look who we have here. My own grandson, chained up like a common criminal."

Mormon snarled at him. "You won't get away with this, old man. I'll make sure of it."

Bishop Edgar chuckled. "Oh, I already have. And now, I'm going to drain your life force and add it to my own. You see, I've been alive for far too long, and I need more power to sustain myself."

Mormon's eyes widened in horror as he realized what was happening. Bishop Edgar was a necromancer, and he was about to use dark magic to drain his life force. He struggled against his restraints, but they held firm.

Meanwhile, Heidi  was having a conversation with Nox, the demon they had captured."You're nothing but a monster," Heidi spat at her.Nox laughed. "And what are you, little girl?  A killer? You're no better than I am."

Heidi shook her head. "I may have done things I'm not proud of, but at least I'm trying to make amends. What have you done?"

Nox glared at her. "I've survived. That's more than most can say."

Suddenly, Adela, stepped forward and electrocuted Nox with her lightning powers. Nox writhed in pain, but didn't speak a word.

As Bishop Edgar began to drain their life force with his spell, Nox seemingly broke free from her restraints and began to attack Heidi and Adela.

The battle was filled with flames and lightning, kicks and punches. Nox was still weakened from her captivity, but she was still a formidable opponent.

Heidi tried to reason with Nox, but the demon was too far gone. She trapped Adela in an illusion and proceeded to break Heidi's hands, rendering her powerless.

As Heidi lay on the ground, writhing in pain, she saw glimpses of Adela's past in the illusion. She saw how he had lost his left eye in battle and had become a mercenary, taking on any job he could to survive.

Meanwhile, Bishop Edgar summoned two golems to attack Nox. Suddenly, Mormon felt a surge of power within him. His shadow tentacles began to break free from their restraints, and he easily destroyed the golems. It was Lux who freed Mormon was his restraints  .Mormon was perplexed but he didn't have time to dwell on it.

Nox and Mormon both teleported to Hell, their bodies engulfed in flames. The two headed to Lord Tenebris Castle - Nox's father to recover


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710108611976-YAKIHONNES3.webp)

Thud!

As the shadow threw Mormon out, he crashed straight into a barn, then stood up immediately and hissed. "Damn those brats. Lord Tenebris is going to destroy me," said Mormon as he began healing himself. (Tenebris is the Dark Lord's actual name).

He continued on with his whining till he realised Nox wasn't with him. "Nox, where are you?" he screamed.

It was a dark, damp place, filled with magic circles and at the centre was Nox. She was tied up with ropes and sprinkled with holy water which weakened her.

"Release me at once", she demanded of the people before her.
Nox couldn't bear the fact she was restrained by mortals. She snarled at the people before her; a girl with a glum face and a boy with red hair and an eye patch covering his left eye.

They were Heidi and Adela, bodyguards of the Bishop Edgar. "You are really loud for a prisoner," said Edgar with a grin on his face.
Edgar was a notorious bishop known for torturing his followers, committing acts of rape and siding with demons.

'He has a different plan this time, else why would he capture Tenebris' daughter?' Nox said to herself.

She knew who Edgar was and had been affiliated with him. Capturing the Dark Lord's daughter was tantamount to eternal torment, and Nox was perplexed at the fact that the bishop knew this but was still putting himself at risk.

"We are using you to get your father," said Heidi, who had gotten tired of the chilling air of suspense. Adela, angry at the fact that she'd sold their secret so very cheaply drew his sword and attempted to slash her face. Heidi gracefully blocked the attack and proceeded to kick him. He managed to block it but was taken aback by the flames she summoned with her magic abilities. Treading with caution, he stepped back and prepared to attack again.

"Enough, you brats! You dare embarrass me in front of my guest?!" Edgar yelled.

When the two broke apart and bowed their heads respectfully, he took his dagger and cut himself, then proceeded to sprinkle his blood on the Dark Lord's daughter. The magic circles began to glow and Nox screamed in pain.

Mormon who was searching for Nox, was drawn to the great amount of magic energy emanating from the church. He instantly teleported there. Adela noticed his presence and began to attack with his sword, at the same time summoning a lightning bolt and throwing it at Mormon, who dodged it as he summoned a shadow shield to block Heidi's flames .

"It's been a while Mormon, here to pay a visit to Gramps?" the girl taunted, firing icicles at him. He dodged them and began to engage in hand-to-hand combat with her.
He was faster and stronger but she was a skilled martial artist. Adela attempted to join in but was knocked out with a blast.

Mormon eventually knocked out Heidi but he was confronted by Edgar who chanted a spell.

Edgar had apparently planned to capture both Mormon and Nox for his vile plans.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710568759650-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

The air crackled with energy as Lux blocked a powerful blast from one of his squad members. The battle royale was intense, with his friends and allies, Sol, Lucendi, and Mael, all fighting to their limits. Lucendi dashed towards Lux, launching a flurry of punches and kicks, but Mael appeared out of nowhere and kicked him in the gut, breaking his concentration.

"You seem distracted," Mael taunted Lux.

Lux immediately fired a beam of light at both Mael and Lucendi, not wanting anyone to discover his secret i.e him being from the future. "That was a perfect distraction," he thought to himself.

But the battle was far from over. Mael ran towards Lux and slashed him with a blade of light, and Lux had to heal himself quickly. The trio surrounded him, ready to take him down, but he unleashed a blast that knocked them all out.

As they regained consciousness, they overheard some angels discussing an attack on Kent. Lux's expression shifted from calm to enraged. "I need to do something," he muttered.

Mael noticed the change in Lux's aura. "Let's check out Kent, Lux," he suggested. Mael had been Lux's best friend for a long time, and he could read people's auras.

Sol and Lucendi began to prepare a teleportation circle, and soon they were standing amidst the destruction in Kent. Flames filled the town, corpses littered the ground, and the scale of destruction was immense. Æthelred, who possessed superhuman abilities, was fending off the demons with his incredible hand-to-hand combat skills. Edwin was also doing his part, using his majestic sword-fighting skills to slaughter demons left and right.

But then Nox appeared, and the slayers were paralyzed with fear at the bloodlust in her eyes. She prepared to launch an attack that could annihilate them all. But Æthelred, with a surge of courage, began attacking her. Nox was taken aback by his strength, speed, and martial arts skills, but she was still a demon and superior to humans. She slashed him with her claws and kicked him, sending him flying.

"Æthelred!" Edwin screamed, trying to move but overwhelmed with fear.

Then Sir Arthur appeared and seemingly slashed Nox's arms. "Mormon, reveal yourself," he demanded. Nox looked astonished. "The slayers knew Mormon?" she said in surprise.

Mormon appeared out of the shadows and attacked with shadow tentacles, but Sir Arthur gracefully blocked the attack with his gigantic sword. "Is this all you've got, Mormon?" he asked.

Mormon smirked and increased the speed of his attacks, overwhelming Sir Arthur completely. He took advantage of the opening and incinerated him with the flames of hell.

With Sir Arthur dead, the slayers were doomed. Nox fully charged up and fired a deadly beam, which Lux managed to block just in time. "The angels are here," Sol said playfully.

"Be serious, Sol," Lucendi said. He was always the serious one.

Lucendi went to the injured and began to heal them, while Sol engaged Nox. Mael and Lux went after Mormon. Although they were evenly matched, Nox was clearly the stronger opponent. But she had one big weakness: her brashness. Sol may not have been as strong, but she was very intelligent and strategic. Lucendi finished healing the mortals and appeared, firing a beam at Nox. Meanwhile, Mormon was holding his own against Mael and Lux but decided to retreat, enveloping the whole area with shadow. Lux immediately figured out his plans and acted accordingly, releasing a blueish beam that dispelled the shadow.When the shadow cleared, both Nox and Mormon were no where to be found


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1711118370363-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

The place was a hellscape of burning brimstone, suffocating sulfur, scattered bones, and agonizing screams. At the center was an altar, and standing before it was a man cloaked in a long black robe, his face scarred, and his dark hair flowing down his back. For a demon, he had a strange attractiveness.

"Mormon, give me your annual report," he demanded. From the shadows emerged a man with a smooth face and a calming aura, a result of his human heritage. "My Lord, about 30,000 souls have been harvested from my region," he reported in a soft voice.

"Good, but I have another mission for you," the Dark Lord declared. "I need you to harvest souls from the region of Kent."

"Why the region of Kent, my lord?" Mormon questioned, causing the Dark Lord to give him a menacing look. "You dare question my orders?"

Overwhelmed by fear, Mormon stuttered, "No, my Lord."

Just then, Nox, the Dark Lord's daughter and the most beautiful demon, appeared. "Daddy, what's going on here?" she asked.

"Nothing, my dear. Now that you're here, I should disclose the details of the mission," he replied. "There's someone in Kent who will be a thorn in our side in the future," he revealed, utilizing his valuable ability to see into the future.

"We are going to devour everything, right Daddy?" Nox asked with bloodlust in her eyes. Mormon was terrified by her intensity and instinctively summoned a portal, which sucked them in. As they disappeared, Mormon plotted his attack on Kent.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Kent, two boys were sparring. "Go easy on me," one begged as they exchanged blows and kicks. "Why should I?" Æthelred replied, punching Edwin in the gut.

"Time out," Edwin called as he groaned in pain.

"You are weak," Æthelred taunted. "Relax, you cynical fiend. I'm not the one who delivered such a terrible blow," winced Edwin in response.

Æthelred and Edwin were junior demon slayers, part of an organization that helped angels battle demons. Æthelred despised both demons and angels because they had killed his family and tortured him.

"We must become stronger to protect our kind," he insisted.

Edwin laughed, "Quit sulking. Let's head back to headquarters." "Race you there," Æthelred challenged. As they ran, the demons began their attack.


All the relays


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1711118370363-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

It all began with creation when angels and demons became enemies. Demons sought the blood of humans, while angels were their protectors. They fought numerous battles on Earth, ironically putting those they were meant to safeguard in danger.

Lux was the only survivor of the 80th battalion, engaged in battle with the feared demon, "Nox." Nox punched Lux, leaving him stunned. Lux knew he had to come up with a strategy, but Nox did not give him time to think. Nox was a brash fighter, always on the offense, which was her biggest weakness.

Lux summoned a beam of light and fired it at her. Demons are vulnerable to angel light powers, and Nox was weakened and unable to heal.

Lux took advantage of Nox's weakened state and fired a barrage of light beams at her. Nox could barely dodge them. In anger, she summoned the flames of hell, which covered a 500km range. Lux survived, but Æthelred, who was meditating in the temple, was contacted by Lux for help.

"Why would a divine being need the help of a mortal?" asked Æthelred in a cynical tone. "This is important; several people's lives are at stake," replied Lux, enraged.

Æthelred immediately stood up, grabbed his sword, muttered a spell, and teleported to the destination. Nox had already healed and began to overwhelm Lux.

Lux was always a pacifist and did not like fighting, but he was a prodigy in the angel arts. He was constantly overwhelmed by Nox's attacks, slipped, and revealed his true power. Nox did the same, and their powers clashed.

As Nox's guard was let down, Æthelred stabbed her in the back. "This was all your plan," she screamed as she tried to heal herself. "Don't bother; it's the soul-sealing sword," replied Æthelred cynically. Nox crumbled into dust and faded away.

Lux stood up with a sad look on his face. "Don't give me that look; we won," said Æthelred. "At the cost of these people's lives," Lux said in a sad tone. "Come on, Lux," replied Æthelred. "If only I could reverse this, prevent all of this from happening," Lux said.

A greenish light began to glow and wrapped them up. "Lux, it's time to spar," said a familiar voice. "Mael," said Lux. Apparently, he had taken himself 45 years back in time.


A great war between the gods and mortals.The mortals has finally decided to go against the divine beings and slay them all.


Eclectic Escapades: The Multiverse Mischief Chronicles

The quintet Jabari, Tasha, Su,Henric, D and later Arthur summoned a demon during one game night which sparked a series of bizarre adventures for the group.


In the small university town, a series of mysterious killings has shaken the student community. The story revolves around a group of friends who find themselves at the center of the unfolding events. Alexander, known as Alex, serves as the protagonist, and his unique perspective and troubled nature provide a compelling lens through which the story unfolds.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710950345379-YAKIHONNES3.png)

The world had always been in balance; life and death, the good and the bad . Life was thought to be inspirational ,hopeful and wonderful. Death was seen as evil ,bad and sad. You could say the fear of death made people despise it.  The mere thought of losing a loved one and leaving the world to the unknown was scary.  What happens after death ? No one knows but the big guy dressed in a black cloak holding a scythe.

Life and Death had always been represented by ever elegant Stork and the glum Grimreaper who lurked the shadows. The two avatars of the primordial forces resided in a cottage. How do I know that? Well I was their scribe, a job that is to last eternity. The records of those who lived and died were all written by me . These two beings tried to live in peace trying not to butt in each others business.

The Stork was a perfectionist, taking his job seriously and be quite sassy. He had  conservative beliefs which clashed with Grimreaper's liberal beliefs. The Grimreaper was laid-back, care free and pretty much did whatever he liked. " The concept of Death makes you live your life to the fullest "he said swinging his scythe on a 118 year old man who grew tired of life.

The Stork stood as he watched the man soul venture into the afterlife. There were days, his victims haven't experienced much of life." Not the children " Stork screamed as he watched the Grimreaper swinged his scythe at the newborn kids .

It was a pretty stark reminder that death had no regard for anyone, he takes as it pleases. " I clean up most of your mess " Grimreaper said . " That's not true " Stork said trying to protest but deep down he knew the avatar of death was right.  He brings life to the world with no discrimination- the good and bad . The bad people kill good people and sometimes the good people kill bad people. The reaper is forced to work overtime to take their souls in the afterlife.

" I hate working overtime " he said angrily clenching his scythe. " Oh please " Stork scoffed. The ability to bring 8 billion people into existence isn't a small feat ,a statement he had always mentioned. Occasionally they played games together , around the twelfth century they blessed a family of five with immortality.  The reason for that wasn't exactly special, " We just wanted to see how long they would hold up " Stork said giggling. The family somewhat fared well, father started a cult in his name, mother became a mercenary, sister became an empress/queen in several kingdoms, big brother became a mad man and younger brother became a scribe.

The two beings would fight occasionally which doesn't end up well for both the mortals and either of them. " Don't leave me in there " Stork screamed as the Reaper locked him in a cage . The Reaper went on a bad rampage of killing everyone in his path well until the Stork was freed.  The Stork plotted his revenge by trapping the Reaper in a pit ,it was a whirl pool of life and death which drove the mortals to madness.

Most times they admire each other works, life and death. The two systems that complemented each other; a series of check and balance.  The two would stand on a mountain watching everyone; the cries of newborn children and the wailing of someone who had lost a close one to death . " We make a great team " Reaper said patting the Stork on his head . The two jumped into the sky, ready to start their job of giving and taking life.

"The Stork and the Reaper" is a whimsical tale of two timeless entities, the Stork representing life and the Grim Reaper embodying death. Their contrasting personalities and approaches to their eternal duties lead to both humorous and profound moments as they navigate their roles in the universe. From playful contests to serious clashes, the story explores the delicate balance between life and death, ultimately highlighting the symbiotic relationship between these primordial forces.

Ethan jolted awake, his heart racing as he scanned the room, searching for Alex. "Alex, where were you?" he asked, his voice tinged with concern.

Alex, his hands trembling, struggled to find the right words. "I... I don't know," he stammered, his eyes wide with fear. "Something... something took over me."

Ethan's brow furrowed with worry as he watched his friend unravel before him. With a steadying hand, he reached out to Alex, gently guiding him to sit down. "It's okay, Alex. Just breathe," he said softly, his tone soothing.

As Alex trembled in Ethan's embrace, he finally confessed, tears streaming down his face. "I'm the killer," he whispered hoarsely. "There's this... this other part of me, it does things I can't control. You should stay away from me, Ethan."

But Ethan shook his head, his determination unwavering. "I'm not leaving you, Alex. We'll get through this together."

Determined to help his friend, Ethan reached out to Su, a friend skilled in hypnosis. With Su's expertise, they embarked on a journey to free Alex from the clutches of his split personality.

Meanwhile, Poppy, Mandy, Stephen, Jade, Pearl, and Peter decoded Daphne's cryptic message, uncovering the identities of X's sleeper agents. Armed with this knowledge, they confronted the agents, ready to put an end to their sinister plans.

The battle was fierce, with Stephen losing three of his fingers and Pearl wielding a pole with deadly precision, taking down three of the agents.

As they regrouped at a motel, the truth about Alex's involvement in the killings emerged. Desperate to contain the situation, Su and Ethan stood guard while Alex broke down in tears.

But Alex's despair turned to determination as he stood up, his eyes flashing with a newfound resolve. With a wave of his hand, he hypnotized everyone in the room, erasing their memories of the killer and the events surrounding him.

A year later, life seemed to have returned to normal for the group as they navigated their university lives. But for Pearl, something nagged at the back of her mind, a faint memory of a darkness that once lurked among them.

"Doesn't anyone remember?" Pearl asked, her voice tinged with disbelief. "How can you all just forget?"

But her friends looked at her blankly, their memories wiped clean by Alex's hypnotic spell. Alone in her knowledge, Pearl carried the burden of the past, haunted by the specter of the killer who had once walked among them.

As the group continued their adventures in the university, unaware of the darkness that had touched their lives, Pearl remained vigilant, determined to uncover the truth and protect her friends from the secrets of their past.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710855021780-YAKIHONNES3.png)

The arrival of these formidable beings sent shockwaves through the battlefield. Eris, the once-mighty goddess of Chaos and Strife, hesitated for a moment, her malevolent aura momentarily wavering. But Eris was not one to back down from a challenge. She steeled herself and decided to confront this newfound threat head-on.

Amun Ra, the radiant Egyptian sun god, led the charge. With a graceful sweep of his hand, he shot a barrage of dazzling energy beams at Eris, forcing her to stumble backward. Bast and Sekhmet, fierce lioness goddesses, joined Ra, releasing their own powerful energy blasts. The combined assault pushed Eris to the ground, where she struggled to maintain her footing.

"Such amazing teamwork," Horus, the falcon-headed god, remarked as he helped Ares, the god of war, to his feet. The battlefield was alive with energy, divine powers colliding in a dazzling display of light and force.

Odin, the venerable All-Father of Norse mythology, was not to be outdone. He unleashed a mighty punch at Eris, but she managed to dodge it with a graceful maneuver, her agility matching her power. Undeterred, Odin summoned flocks of ravens, his loyal companions, to descend upon Eris and harry her.

"Get them off me!" Eris screamed in fear, a rare moment of vulnerability. The powerful goddess found herself in an astonishing predicament as the ravens swarmed around her, their relentless attacks causing her to recoil. She released a blast of chaotic energy, causing the ravens to decay and disperse.

However, she had no respite, for she narrowly evaded a colossal water blast from Oceanus, the ancient Titan of the oceans. The remaining Titans, emboldened by Oceanus's attack, united their powers, unleashing a magnifying energy blast that sent Eris hurtling through the air.

Anansi, Maui, Brunhilde, Horus, Thor, Ares, and Artemis watched in awe as these divine beings demonstrated their immense strength. Despite their advantage, Eris displayed remarkable resilience. Anansi couldn't help but voice their concerns, "How are we going to beat her?"

Odin, his one eye gleaming with wisdom, replied, "We are going to seal her again." The mere mention of being sealed filled Eris with terror, and in a flash, she seemingly teleported away, retreating from the overwhelming power arrayed against her.

Meanwhile, on another part of the battlefield, Alexander and Aremo were locked in a fierce hand-to-hand combat. Alexander, despite his waning power, held the upper hand, and a blast from his palm sent Aremo crashing to the ground.

Kelani, swift and determined, entered the fray with a sudden kick aimed at Alexander. However, Alexander effortlessly blocked her strike, and the two began to duel fiercely. Alexander's palm strikes clashed with Kelani's precise pressure point hits, creating a flurry of attacks.

Eris reappeared seemingly out of thin air, catching Apollo and Triton off guard. She effortlessly repelled their combined light and water attacks, rendering the two gods unconscious with a powerful gust of wind.

Tentacles, eerie extensions of Eris's malevolent power, emerged from her form, wrapping around Alexander and dragging him toward her. Kelani desperately tried to cut the tentacles, but they were too numerous and resilient. In a horrifying twist, Eris absorbed Alexander into herself, merging their powers.

Ixquitecatl, Kini'je, Hephaestus, Nemty, and Amaterasu regrouped, surveying the chaotic scene. Hecate, now a wooden totem, and Loki, trapped in a coffin-like prison, had been neutralized. Isis and Helios, triumphant in their small victory, stood beside them.

Eris, seemingly unstoppable, teleported to their location. Her dark tentacles stretched menacingly as she absorbed Hecate and Loki into her being, growing even more powerful.

A portal opened as Apollo, Aremo, Kelani, and Triton emerged from it. Kelani's voice trembled as she spoke, "Eris merged with Alexander." They weren't shocked as the very same thing happened before their eyes.

The rest of the divine team arrived, their expressions a mix of awe and trepidation. Odin, Amun Ra, Bast, Sekhmet, and the Titans surged forward to attack Eris. Their combined might had forced her into a retreat earlier, but this time, something unexpected happened.

Utilizing Hecate's magic powers, Eris absorbed these formidable beings into herself. The divine team watched in disbelief as these once-mighty entities vanished into the very being they had sought to defeat.The goddess of Chaos fired a energy ball at them which was blocked by Sun Wukong and Buddha.
The two had recovered from their duel against each other.

"The end is near," Artemis said in desperation, her bow dropping to the ground, her spirit crushed by the overwhelming power of Eris. " We failed " Anansi said with tears in his eyes . Thor ,Horus, Ares , Brunhilde, Maui were filled with disappointment in themselves.

Ixquitecatl, Isis, Buddha, and Sun Wukong chanted a spell, forming a protective barrier around the team , shielding against the destructive blast of energy that Eris released.As the world crumbled around them, reduced to chaos and ruin, they stood as the last survivors.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710854557130-YAKIHONNES3.png)

The battlefield raged on, a chaotic maelstrom of divine powers, clashing energies, and swirling dust. Eris, the magnificent goddess of Chaos and Strife, continued to fend off the assaults of the other gods, her black-blue viscous energy form wreaking havoc around her. Brunhilde, with her warrior's instinct, knew they faced a formidable foe.

"We definitely can't beat her," Brunhilde said, her voice resolute as she dodged a blast from Eris. She was right; Eris had grown stronger since her previous encounter with  Odin, Amun Ra and Zeus. But Anansi, the spider god, had a smirk on his face as he spun a series of intricate webs around Eris, seemingly restraining her.

"Thor, she is all yours," Anansi declared. Swift as lightning, the thunder god, Thor, rushed toward Eris, wielding his mighty Mjolnir. Two energies clashed with a deafening shockwave, pushing the other gods away. When the dust cleared, Thor lay on the ground, Mjolnir shattered.

Jericho, who had been knocked to the ground earlier by Ares, slowly regained consciousness. Memories of his past, his family, the great war that took his life, and his resurrection by Terra flooded his mind. Now, he found himself working for Eris. But something stirred within him, a sense of duty and a longing for justice. He muttered, "Eris," as he jumped to his feet and proceeded to free Selene from the web cocoon.

"Try again," Loki taunted, having withstood Nemty's wind attack. Nemty was among a small group of gods battling Loki, Hecate, and the mortal followers in another location. Loki, a shape-shifter, displayed the uncanny ability to manipulate his body into different forms. The Norse god transformed his hand into a tentacle, hoping to ensnare Nemty.

Nemty swiftly slashed off the tentacles with his talons and attempted to punch Loki. However, Loki formed a hole in his stomach, trapping him temporarily. It was only when Hephaestus and Amaterasu arrived to aid Nemty that Loki was forced to release him. Enraged, Loki created clones of himself from his severed tentacles.

Meanwhile, Ixquitecatl and Hecate engaged in a fierce magic duel. Ixquitecatl summoned fiery chains to hold Hecate, but the goddess of magic broke free, retaliating with a powerful magic beam. Kini'je, the ever-watchful guardian, intervened, pausing Hecate and allowing Ixquitecatl to recover.

Ixquitecatl unleashed a cataclysmic magic blast at Hecate, obliterating her left arm. Yet, the two continued to duel, neither gaining the upper hand. Suddenly, a rainbow of light appeared, revealing Isis, the Egyptian goddess of magic. "You have come out of hiding," Hecate taunted.

Isis remained unfazed, releasing Helios, whom Hecate had absorbed and transformed Hecate into a pocket-sized wooden totem. Loki, meanwhile, seemed trapped in a strange coffin-like structure, defeated by Hephaestus, Nemty, and Amaterasu.

"Aremo, you can't beat me with that attack!" Alexander bellowed, his voice filled with defiance as he freed himself from the web restraints. He needed to escape this strange place that Apollo had teleported them to. Apollo, seizing an opportunity, had snuck behind him and released a laser beam, piercing Alexander's skin.

But Alexander, with a high tolerance for pain, felt nothing. He retaliated with a powerful punch aimed at Apollo, which was blocked by a water wall summoned  by Aremo and  Triton- who had healed from his injuries. Kelani, the fierce mortal warrior, attempted to slash Alexander with her machete, but he blocked it with his hands, losing some fingers in the process.

Alexander was shocked. How had the mortal Aremo gained such divine powers? Had he been made an Avatar? Aremo exhaled a ball of fire from his mouth, weaving intricate hand signs to transform it into a massive fire dragon, sending it hurtling toward Alexander. He absorbed the fire but wasn't fast enough to block Aremo's powerful kick.

The divine markings on Alexander's body began to dim, and his strength waned.

Jericho and Selene, now free from their cocoon, joined forces to aid Eris on the battlefield. Their combined efforts provided cover, protecting the openings in Eris's defenses. Then, the unexpected happened. Eris, the goddess of Chaos, absorbed Jericho and Selene into herself, growing stronger with the enormous energy they emitted.

But just when all hope seemed lost, a ray of light appeared on the horizon. Odin, Amun Ra, Bast, Sekhmet, and the formidable Titans arrived to confront Eris. The tide of battle was about to shift, and the outcome hung in the balance.


![image](https://yakihonne.s3.ap-east-1.amazonaws.com/d96e04074cde7fab440ca44fc6e06ad67cab51d58779f7908c4e58538a0da63d/files/1710347787677-YAKIHONNES3.jpg)

The campus hummed with activity as students bustled to and fro, unaware of the darkness lurking beneath their carefree facade. Among them, Drake stepped cautiously, his eyes darting nervously as he navigated the familiar paths. He had just been released, the accusations against him deemed unfounded, but suspicion still lingered in the air like a foul stench.

Pearl, lost in thought as she walked through the quad, was suddenly jolted back to reality as a shadowy figure lunged at her from the bushes. Before she could react, a strong arm pulled her back, saving her from the attacker's grasp. It was Peter, his face a mask of concern as he helped her to her feet.

"Are you alright, Pearl?" Peter asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.

Pearl nodded, her heart racing in her chest. "Thank you, Peter. I don't know what would have happened if you hadn't been here."

As they caught their breath, Pearl noticed something strange about the assailant. His eyes were glazed over, as if he were in a trance. It was then that she realized the chilling truth – he had been hypnotized.

Meanwhile, in her secluded office, Daphne poured over her findings, her brow furrowed in concentration. She had uncovered a disturbing connection between the recent attacks and a series of hypnosis sessions conducted on campus.

She wasted no time in reporting her discoveries to Detective Mitchell, the only person she trusted to help unravel the mystery. But little did she know, danger lurked closer than she could have ever imagined.

Back at the motel, Alex stirred a potent concoction, a sinister gleam in his eyes as he plotted his next move. He had returned to the school under the guise of innocence, but his true intentions were far more sinister.

As he made his way through the campus grounds, he was startled to come face to face with Detective Mitchell. Her steely gaze bore into him, a silent challenge that he knew he could not ignore.

"I've been wanting to speak with you, Alex," she said, her voice cold and authoritative.

Alex's heart raced as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Of course, Detective. What can I do for you?"

But before he could answer, a warning echoed in his mind – Mandy's voice, filled with urgency and dread. "Beware, Alex. Danger is coming."

As he entered Detective Mitchell's office, Alex's nerves were on edge. Drake and Daphne were already there, their expressions grave as they awaited the detective's arrival.

But as the door closed behind them, Daphne's accusatory gaze fell upon Alex, her voice laced with suspicion. "We know it was you, Alex. We have the evidence."

Before he could protest, a primal rage surged within him, a darkness that he could no longer contain. His split personality, Alexander X, emerged, his eyes ablaze with madness.

With a flick of his wrist, he hypnotized Drake, forcing him to carry out his twisted bidding. Daphne was pushed forcefully against the wall, her body crumpling to the ground as she slipped into unconsciousness.

Detective Mitchell moved to intervene, but it was too late. Alexander X had already set his sights on her, his hands moving with deadly precision as he unleashed his fury.

The room was awash in chaos as Alex fled into the night, leaving behind a trail of devastation in his wake. And as the shadows closed in around him, he knew that the darkness within him would never be extinguished.
