The Dragon Dimension Reborn

This is a story I wrote a while back. Tell me what you guys think. This is just the prolouge though.I’ll post more if you guys like it.

Prolouge:Angels and Demons

Darkness has befallen the worlds. Evil has won the Great War. It all started when demons were visiting the worlds and causing nothing but trouble.Demons just started out with simple teasing and mocking. Then they’re teasing became attacks, and painful ones at that. Kicking, clawing, and biting people when they weren’t looking.

God didn’t like this. He sent angels out of heaven to protect his people against the demons. Then, the demons turned their attention to the angels and started attacking the angels.War soon broke out between the angels and the demons. The angels and demons battled in the mortal realm.The war ravaged the worlds, leaving nothing but pain and despair.

God saw what the war was doing to the mortal realm. In order to stop any more pain, he called his angels to retreat back into heaven. The demons had won.

The demons were now in control of the mortal realm. They took the forms of mortals and called themselves the Masters. The Masters took control over all mortals, making them their prisoners.Nobody knew the true form of the Masters, but all feared them.

Years passed, and still the Masters ruled the mortal realm. A prophecy  was made, saying a child, chosen by God himself, being born to rid the mortal realm of evil. Now the Masters are seeking this child, to stop the prophecy from coming  true.

Robert was led underground. In the City of Theives. The City of Theives is an ancient fortress. It belongs to a band of robbers called the Blessed Theives. The Blessed Theives were just like Robert. Every member in the group had the power to shapeshift. The Blessed Theives only accepted people with shapeshifting powers, and once in, you cannot get out. Even if you tried, they would kill you.That was why Robert was here. As he was being led through the city his mind wandered back a long time ago, back when he was a member of this evil band of robbers. He was lead to the palace,where the king of the Blessed Theives resided.

A leopard and a rhino stood in front of the entrance to the palace, guarding it. With a nod from Molly the animals stepped out of the way and they entered the building. Robert was led down a dark hall and into a huge conference room, where dozens of animals gazed down on him from stands high above. They growled,hissed,cawed, and bellowed other animal noises as he entered the room. One animal, sitting on a golden throne with a dragon and a man in a circle, with the all too familar half man half dragon in the center.It was the symbol of the Blessed Theives.Sitting on the throne was a mighty lion, the lion said nothing,only stared at Robert.Finally, he roared and all the animals fell silent.

The lion finally said,”Well, well, well, I can’t beleive you have returned home my dear Robert.”

“I really didn’t have a choice.”Robert replied and glared at Molly.

“I should kill you for your betrayal Robert but that would be a waste of my time and your powers.”the lion said,”I give you  choice. You can rejoin the Blessed Theives, or suffer. But beleive me, you will wished I killed you when I’m done with you.”

“Thanks but no thanks Leo.”Robert answered.

“How dare you talk to me like that!I’m the king and you will address me as such!”The lion growled.

“You!?A king!?Don’t flatter yourself.You’re a leader of a band of pickpockets.”Robert said.

At that the lion bellowed.His roar filled the room and shook it.”Maybe some weeks in the cellar will change your mind!Guards!”

At once a polar bear and an andaconda stepped forward and led Robert out of the room. He was pushed down even deeper underground.Into the damp,cold lonely cellar. He changed back into his human form and shrunk into the far corner of the wall. He heaved of sigh at the mess he was in now. He had tried so hard to get away from this group.Now he was back and at the mercy of the king,Dunican.

All of the sudden the door to the cellar opened and three people came in, not animals.Two were the guards and the other was Molly. Molly had beautiful long black hair and a body to match. She walked over to him and laid down a tray of food, and by food it was a peice of bread and water.

“I’m sorry, but King Dunican won’t let you have much.Part of your punishment.”Molly said.Robert said nothing, only looked at her with hatred in his eyes,”Listen, Robert.Stop this nonsense and come back to us. You’re only making this worse by denying coming back.”

“I’m not joining the acursed band again. When I left I left for good.”Robert replied, and turned away from her.

“But what else is there for you? The king will keep you here till you die or accept the invite to join back.You cannot escape and you know it. The cellar walls are made of titanium and you know you can’t break through it.”Molly asked.

“I don’t care. After what I’ve seen being in this group. I’m not gonna come back to it.”Robert said, and pushed the food away.Molly rose up and walked out of the cellar, wiping a tear away as she went.Robert soon fell asleep and dreamed of his time in the Blessed Theives.

Gorgon had been held prisoner of the Earth Gods for over a week now. He had seen that Nathaniel creep every day, who came into his room just to talk. Gorgon looked at the clock overhead. He sighed to himself. It was about time for that moron to show his face again.

As if on cue, the door opened and Nathaniel came into the room. This time though, he had two people accompany him. One was a man, dressed in some kind of robe with the Earth Gods symbol on it. The other was a woman with the same robe and symbol on it. They stood by the door as Nathaniel walked up to Gorgon.

“I would like you to meet Domenick and Sarah.”Nathaniel said and the two people in the guards raised their heads in acknowledgment.

“Drop dead.”Gorgon replied and laid back on his bed.

Nathaniel ignored the comment and went on,”We have a special treat for you Gorgon. The boss would like to me you today. In fact, he wants to meet you right now. We’re going to have a meeting to see if you are truly worthy to join the Earth Gods.”Nathaniel said.

“How many times do I have to tell you you idiot!I…..DO…NOT…….WANT……..TO…….JOIN!”Gorgon yelled.

“Well either way you have to come with me.”Nathaniel replied, and snapped his fingers.Domenick arms suddenly extended and wrapped around Gorgon. Gorgon yelled and struggled as he was lifted up and out of the room. Gorgon was led out of the room and into a vast hallway. Domenick carried him down the hallway and in front of a huge wooden door. Sarah opened it and Domenick threw

him in it. They closed the doorbehind him and he was locked in a huge room. Gorgon gazed around the room to see faces staring down at him from stands up above.
“Who are you creeps!?”Gorgon yelled at the people. One of the people in the stands rose up. He addressed Gorgon in a huge and booming voice.
“Welcome Gorgon. I hope your stay here at the Earth God’s HQ has been comfortable.”the man said.
“As comfortable as being held against my will can be.”Gorgon replied.
“Sorry about that. But if we just asked you to join we knew you would refuse. So we took you here in order for us to convince you to join us, The Earth Gods.My name is Marcus. I am the leader of the Earth Gods.”the man said.
“So you are the head physco. Nice to meet ya.”Gorgon sneered.
“I would advise you to keep comments like that to yourself. Insulting me can get you killed.”Marcus warned.
“Whatever, just release me. I’m sick of this place and your creepy lacky Nathaniel.”Gorgon replied.
“Don’t you want to join us?The Earth Gods?We are the chosen ones after all, destined to rule the world and govern over the normal people in it.Join us and you too, shall rule this world.”Marcus said.
“No thanks. I’ve had enough crazies for a lifetime.Now release me!”Gorgon said.

“That little burst of temper has earned you a week in your room. Maybe then, you’ll have a change of mind and see our ingenious plan. Our destiny.”Marcus replied and snapped his fingers. The doors behind Gorgon opened and Sarah and Domenick came in. Domenick grabbed him once again and carried him back to his cell, or his room as they called it.Gorgon was kicking and screaming, not wanting to go back to his prison.They opened his room door and threw him in, and locked the door behind him.
“I’m trapped in this room once again!I have got to get out of here!”Gorgon yelled and suddenly a grin appeared on his face as he figured out the solution.
Nathaniel nodded at the soldiers guarding Gorgon’s room. The soldiers nodded back and Nathaniel opened the door. He came in, carrying in a tray of food. It was Gorgon dinner. Nathaniel looked around and noticed the room was empty.
“Gorgon?Gorgon?Where are you?”Nathaniel asked.
The door behind him creaked as Gorgon got out from behind it.”Right here.”Gorgon sneered.Before Nathaniel could even turn to meet Gorgon, Gorgon grabbed his head and twisted it to one side.Gorgon heard a huge crack as Nathaniel’s neck broke. Nathaniel lifeless body fell to the floor.
Luckliy, the guards had not heard the sound. Gorgon started rummaging through Nathaniel’s pockets. He found a key and inserted it in the keyhole on his glasses. There was a click as the sunglasses were unlocked and they fell to the floor.Gorgon’s eyes were free. He also found Nathaniel’s own sunglasses and took them. He slowly walked out of the opened doorway and tapped the guards on the soldier. They turned around and unforunately, looked into Gorgon’s blood-red eyes. Their own eyes turned to stone and then their whole body. Gorgon laughed and placed Nathaniel’s sunglasses over his eyes.

Gorgon looked around in the hall and saw a window. He walked towards it and looked out. Trees and hills were everywhere, as far as the eye could see. He walked back to the stone guards and picked up one of their guns on the floor. He shot at the window and it shattered. He jumped out the window and landed on the roof of a car. Shouts could be heard as people were wondering what was happening. Gorgon laughed to himself and jumped down from the roof of the car. He shattered the window of the car and looked inside.
“Luck must be on my side.”Gorgon thought to himself as he saw that the keys were in the ignition. He hopped in the car and turned it on. Soldiers and Earth God members were coming towards him, seeing that he was trying to escape. He put the car in drive and drove down the road, leaving the angry enemies in the dust. Before he was out of sight, the Earth God members saw Gorgon flip them the bird.

Robert slowly crept toward his prey, his wolf paws barely making a sound on the forest floor. In his line of sight lay a deer, grazing under a pine tree. He would get to eat good tonight. Robert took a step forward and a twig broke under his paw. The deer, a mere doe, raised her head at the sound. Robert busted out of his hiding spot and ran towards the doe. The doe took off and unfortunately was too fast for a weak with hunger Robert.

“Blast it.”Robert yelled in a wolfish growl.

Ever since he got the letter he immediately  went into the national park and started living there. He couldn’t risk being seen. They had spies everywhere and were looking for him, and they wouldn’t stop till they got him. So he has been living in the park as a wolf, trying to make the best of his situation.

Robert suddenly looked towards some nearby trees at the smell of a intruder. Out from the trees came a mountain lion. Robert growled at it, showing his sharp fangs. The mountain lion walked towards him and stopped a couple of feet away from him. Robert was about to attack the creature when it said,”Is that a way to greet a fellow sister?”

Robert stopped growling as he realized who it was. He looked at the ground and spoke her name,”Hello Molly.”

“Robert.Did you really think you could leave the family without his permission and get away with it?”The mountain lion asked.

“You guys are not my real family.”Robert replied, his anger starting to grow.

“But we treated you like a member. We accepted you, took you in, got you off the streets where we could have left you’re sorry hide. And this is how you repay us?By leaving us?”Molly said, moving closer to Robert.

“How did you guys find me?”Robert asked.

“Trust me, you were not easy to find.Took us seven years before we picked up your trail again.Did you really think you could escape us forever?”Molly sneered.

“Well I sure was gonna try.”Robert replied.

“You are to come back with me Robert. He wants to talk to you. And maybe, just maybe, he’ll accept you back into the family and not kill you.”Molly said.

“No Molly, I will not go back with you. I would rather die!”Robert yelled.

“Be careful what you want you maggot!”Molly yelled back, but instantly calmed herself,”Don’t you miss me?We were going to get married remember?”

“That was before you changed for the worse. That was when I still loved you.”Robert said, and turned away from her.

“You mean you don’t love me anymore?”Molly said, giving away her sadness. Robert didn’t answer,”I will give you this one last chance before I will have to use force. Come home with me.”

“No!”Robert said and pounced on her.

They instantly started clawing, biting, and wrestling with each other on the ground. Blood started to pour over the grass they were on. Robert bit into Molly’s lion back and she roared in pain.They tore away from each other and stood facing one another.

“You’ve grown weak Robert.”Molly grinned.

“Hunger does that to a person.”Robert growled.

“Well maybe he will feed you when you’re back home.”Molly replied and let out a huge roar.

Five animals came out of the trees nearby. Two wolves, a grizzly bear,  and two mountain lions  stood  in a circle  around  Molly and Robert.

“I don’t go anywhere unprepared.”Molly grinned, “Right this way Robert.”

Molly started leading the way, away from the place where she and Robert just fought. He had no choice but to follow, he was weak and outnumbered. The grizzly bear nudged him from behind, growling at him to move on.  So they were on their way back to the place Molly called home.

“It’s not my home anymore and it never will again.”Robert thought to himself.

Eric and Jacob in Eric’s apartment once again,planning what they should do next.First Gorgon went missing, so more than likely he was alive or someone moved his body. Second, Robert was missing, from what they can tell, Robert left the hospital without anyone knowing.

“What do you think we should do Jacob?Look for Gorgon or Robert?”Eric asked as he took a seat in his favorite chair.Jacob took the couch.

“I think we should look for Gorgon first. Robert’s a big boy he can take care of himself. We need to worry about Gorgon. We need to know who moved his body or worse, if he’s still alive.”Jacob replied.

“So uhm…..where should we start??”Eric asked.

“Let’s try and look around the TV station again. I’m sure there’s something there we missed.”Jacob answered and rose to his feet.

All of the sudden, fire shot out of nowhere and hit Jacob in the back. Jacob screamed in pain and fell to the floor, trying to bat out the fire. Once the fire was out he was in too much pain to move. His back was burned to pieces.

“What the-!?”Eric yelled and knelt down beside Jacob.

“Did you miss me?”a voice said and both Eric and Jacob looked up to see a woman standing in the doorway.It was Allision.

“Surprised to see me again Jacob?”Allision sneered.

“Who are you?”Eric asked.

“Oh me and Jacob go way back. Don’t we?”Allision smiled.

“How…..how did you survive the burning building?Plus…..I…I…..shot you.”Jacob said between winces of pain.

Allision stepped forward and showed them the bullet-proof vest under her shirt. “Don’t leave home without it. You merely knocked the wind out of me. Before the building collapsed I was able to get out. Now guess what I’m going to do?I’m going to kill you, Robert, and your dorky friend!”

“Think fast!”Eric yelled and suddenly a cup of hot coffee from a nearby table flew towards Allision. The drink hit Allision in the face. The cup shattered and the hot liquid burned her face. She screamed and held her face in her hands. Eric and Jacob could see blood seeping through her clenched hands.

Allision screamed in rage and flames shot out of her hands. Soon, the whole apartment was engulfed in flames.Eric and Jacob moved away from the fire towards the window.

“Oh come on!I just paid the rent for the month! You owe me money lady!”Eric yelled.

Allision yelled and fire hit the wall beside Eric.”I accept checks you know.”Eric said,”Well time to go!”

Eric grabbed Jacob and they jumped out the window. Which that was stupid because they were two stories up. Luckily, a truck carrying loads of dirt was passing by. They landed in it. The truck driver didn’t seem to notice, he just kept on driving down the road.Allision’s head popped out of the window and she yelled at Eric and Jacob,”I will get you two if it’s the last thing I do!There is nowhere you can hide from me!”

They ignored her and settled in the dirt, trying to get comfortable. Eric then said,”What do we do now?”

“Will you stop asking that!”Jacob replied,” We’ll just go wherever this truck takes us.”

“Are we still looking for Gorgon?”Eric said.

“I think it’s best we search for Robert now. Since Allision’s back. I’m sure he would be happy to know she’s still alive.”Jacob answered.

“Here, I found this in Robert’s room. Beside his bed.”Eric said and digged through his pockets. He got out a card, the same card that scared off Robert previously.

“What’s this?”Jacob asked.

“Beat’s me.”Eric replied.

“Well, it’s a start.”Jacob said and put it in his own pocket.They pretty soon drifted off to sleep.

It all went downhill from there when the enemy busted through the castle gates. They stormed in, carrying torches and setting buildings on fire. Max was taking on three guys at once. He slashed out at the man on his right and he went down.

“Wait a sec, I can stop time!What am I doing!?”Max said and time stood still,”Guess I got carried away in this battle.”

He went around the battlefield, slashing at as much enemies as he could. He was able to stop time, but for only so long. He wouldn’t have much time left. He stabbed a couple of soldiers and made his way back into the castle. Just in time, for time started again. Dozens of King Derk’s soldiers fell to the ground. No one had time to think of this as strange, for the battle was far from over. Max would have to wait awhile before stopping time again. Stopping time took a-lot out of him.He would have to fight the old-fashion way.

He was cutting down some more soldiers when he heard a scream. He looked down from the balcony he was on and saw two soldiers dragging a woman. It was Amy.

“Let her go!”Max screamed and jumped down from the balcony.He raced towards the soldiers, sword in hand.Amy saw Max and screamed for help.

“Amy hold on!”Max yelled.

Max heard more screams and looked up. Knights scrambled out of the way on the balcony above as a huge boulder, launched from a catapult, smashed into the balcony. The balcony crumpled and a huge stone fell towards Max. He had no time to act, the rock struck him in the head and he fell back. Max’s vision was starting to blur, he slowly got up on his knees, his head was spinning. Through his blurry vision he saw Amy, tears in her eyes. She reached out to him and Max tried to reach out for her. His vision finally gave way and he sunk into unconsciousness.

Max slowly woke up a couple of hours later. He rubbed his head as the intense pain started to set in. Sully was right beside him, wiping blood off his sword. Max looked around at the site. Knights were carrying fellow injured knights in their arms.Buildings and the gates lay in ruins. Max was able to sit up on his knees.

“You okay Max? That’s quite a hit you took to the head?”Sully asked.

“I’m fine. Where’s King Derk’s army?”Max replied.

“We beat half of his army. The rest ran off with their tails between their legs. Hopefully they’ll think twice before coming back here again.”Sully said.

“What about Amy!? Did you rescue her!?”Max yelled.

“Calm down. What about Amy?”Sully asked and Max told him what happened.

“No unfortunately no one saw her. We were a little busy.”Sully said.

“What will happen to her?”Max asked.

“I don’t know. But I do know it won’t be pleasant.”Sully answered.

“We have to go after her!”Max said and rose to his feet.

”    Whoa whoa whoa!Hold on there!We can’t just go storming after her. Half of the knights are injured and we don’t have the soldiers for a full-on assault!”Sully replied.

“Then I’ll go after her myself.”Max said and started walking towards the gates.Sully ran in front of him and barred his way.

” Don’t be a fool. You can’t take on King Derk and a whole army!Are you mad!?”Sully yelled.

“I don’t care. I’m not planning on taking them on. Go in, get Amy out, and get back here. But if I have to fight Derk and his goons I will.”Max said and walked around Sully.

“Love does crazy things to people that’s for sure.Well, if your going I guess I am too. Although King Tristan won’t like it that we took King Derk head-on, but you’re hopeless without me.”Sully smiled.

“Thanks. It will be good to have a friend like you on my side.”Max said and they walked out of the castle. They went to the Horse Stables and borrowed two horses. They mounted the horses and followed the trail of footprints away from the castle.

Max walked around the castle, admiring the great architecture of the stone. His arm had healed miraculously in only three days. He walked into a huge room where a knight, clad in armor from head to foot came up to him.

“I guess you’re feeling better eh Max?”the knight asked.

” Well good enough to walk I guess Sully.”Max replied.

Sully was the knight that found Max on the side of the road with the hurt arm. He had visited Max while he was in bed and they had been good friends ever since. Sully, slapped Max playfully on the back, which caused Max to stumble forward a bit, due to the fact Sully was ten times bigger than him. He was the strongest in the castle and the biggest, but despite that, he was a big softy.

“Have you talked any to your girl?”Sully grinned.Of course Max had told Sully about Amy.

“A little.”Max replied, his cheeks turning red.Sully laughed and slapped Max on the back again.

Suddenly, a bell rang out. This caused Sully’s happy face turn into a frown. He rushed to a nearby table and got his sword and shield. Other knights were racing out of the room, and Sully followed them. Max ran after Sully.He caught up to Sully and asked,”What’s going on.”

“You need to get to the back of the castle.We’re under attack.”Sully replied.

“Under attack!By who!?”Max said.

“By the neighboring castle, King Derk wants this part of the land. He says it rightfully belongs to him.Bunch of crock. We’ve been fighting his armies for about a year. The idiot never gives up.”Sully answered.

“Let me help. I can fight.”Max said.

“Are you sure?You might get hurt, or worse.”Sully asked.

“Yes.”Max replied.

“Then follow me to the Armory.”Sully said, and lead Max down an empty corridor. At the end of the hall was a wooden door. Sully opened it and they went inside.

Inside was a whole stock of weapons and armor. Swords, spears, shields, and other weapons were propped on the wall. Chain mail, steel greaves, and other material was scattered everywhere.

Hastily, Sully got Max into a full armor suit, and gave him a sword and a shield. They heard the bell again and they raced out of the room and joined the horde of knights going in the direction of the bell. All the knights in the castle were positioned on top of the wall overlooking the gates to enter the castle. Sully and Max took their positions on the wall as well.

Max couldn’t believe his eyes. King Derk’s army was vast and endless. Max couldn’t even spot a piece of grass. It looked like the very ground was moving.A man, wearing golden armor and a blue cape, was leading the army on a black stallion.

“That’s King Derk himself.”Sully whispered to Max, “I’m surprised that coward’s here. He usually sits on his high and mighty throne and sends his army after us.”

The knights next to Sully and Max parted and a man, dressed in green armor with a white cape, came forth. He stood there and withdrew a huge sword from his side.He addressed King Derk, saying,”Give it up Derk. I wish not any blood be spilled today.”

“That’s King Derk!”the man on horseback yelled.

“You are no king. A true king would not let his men die for a stupid cause. A peasant can be a better king than you!”the man spat back.

“That’s our king.King Tristan.He’s a good king. Fair and just.And kind too. A better king than that slimeball Derk.”Sully whispered again.

“I give you this last chance Derk. Leave now, or suffer the consequences.”King Tristan warned. King Derk drew his sword and charged at the gates. His army followed behind him.

“I warned him.Archers!”King Tristan yelled and pointed at the invading army.

As if on cue, invisible archers rained down arrows upon the army, bodies fell to the ground like flies. King Derk, just in time, raised his shield and was able to deflect the arrows.Derk shouted a command at his army and huge catapults were brought up to the front of the army. At his command the catapults launched huge blocks of stone at the castle walls. The walls were stronger than they looked. Only a bits and pieces fell to the ground. King Derk’s army brought up ladders to the walls and started climbing over them. Knights drew their swords and sparred with the enemy. Max and Sully stood back-to-back fighting with King Derk’s goons. No matter how many King Derk’s men fell, two more took their place.

Max stabbed one through the heart and raced to the ledge of the wall. He started pushing the ladders away from the walls. The ladders fell back upon the startled army, crushing them. Max gazed down at the invading army and stopped in his tracks. Dozens of men were carrying a huge battering ram and bringing it toward the gates. The men carrying the huge ram were  completely covered in metal, so they could get shot down with arrows.King Tristan saw them and ordered his archers once again to shoot them down. The arrows whizzed by King Tristan and towards the men. The arrows didn’t hit flesh though, they were just deflected by the metal. The men made their way to the gates and started pounding on the gates with the ram. It only took a couple of hits and the gates flew open. The army poured into the castle.

“Oh crap. Not good.”Max said to himself.

Gorgon awoke in a small room. His head was killing him and he examined himself and noticed there were no marks on him.Didn’t he get stabbed by that Erik guy?He looked around the room and saw a huge mirror that covered up the whole wall. He had seen plenty of cop movies and knew that was a one-way mirror. Someone was watching him. The room was plain. The walls and the floor were white, even the bed and sheets were too. He got up off the bed and went over to the mirror. He noticed that some kind of eye wear was over his eyes, he tried to take it off but he couldn’t. Gorgon banged on the mirror in frustration and yelled,”Who are you!?What do you want!?Get this thing off my eyes!”

A man suddenly can out of a white door( invisible  because everything else in the room was white.) He had a gun in his hands and Gorgon immediately went silent. The man was about Gorgon’s age, with a shaved head and was wearing a weird robe with a symbol on it. The symbol showed the planet Earth, only with a golden crown on it.

“Who are you and what do you want?”Gorgon asked.

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to hurt you.”the man replied.

“That’s not too convincing, since you have a gun pointed at me.”Gorgon snapped.

“For my protection. Please sit down Gorgon.”the man said, and reluctantly, Gorgon sat on the bed.

“I bet you’re wondering how you’re still alive. Alive and unharmed?”the man asked.

“Just tell me.”Gorgon snarled.

“Well, I saved you. I have the ability to bring back the dead to the living.When the physic and flying man left, I went to your body and dragged you here, where I brought you back to life.I have been tracking you for weeks.”the man replied.

“Why?”Gorgon asked.

“Because we want you to join us. Join the Earth Gods!”the man said, swelling up with pride.

“The Earth Gods?What the heck is that?”Gorgon said, thinking this guy was a total moron.

“The Earth Gods are chosen ones. We are gods that were sent from heaven to rule over all the normal people. We heroes, all of us, are graced with these powers and it is our right to rule this Earth.”the man answered.

“And people call me crazy.They should listen to your ramblings.”Gorgon said.

“You will warm up to the idea in time. When the time comes, the Earth Gods shall rule this world. You should join us. Since you have powers.”the man said.

“Could you at least that this thing off my eyes.It’s itchy.”Gorgon asked.

“No can do. You might turn us to stone.”the man answered.

“In a heartbeat.”Gorgon growled.

“By the way, my name is Nathaniel.”the man said, and held out his hand. Gorgon just looked at him till eventually he left the room.

Gorgon curled up in the bed and drifted off to sleep. He would get rid of this Earth Gods group. They sounded just like his father.

Erik and Jacob sat in Erik’s apartment, drinking some soda and watching the news. They were watching the news mainly because they wanted to see if Gorgon’s murder appeared showed up. As soon as Gorgon crumpled to the ground, they had no time to lose. Erik and Jacob had raced away from the scene. It would kinda be hard to explain a dead body with a flagpole through his stomache. It had been three days and nothing had been said about Gorgon. There was no rumors going around, it was like nothing had happened.

“What’s the deal? Surely someone would think it is suspicious that a dead man has a flagpole through his gut?”Jacob said.

“Do you think we should check up on his body?”Erik asked.

“Might as well. Something doesn’t seem quite right about this.”Jacob answered.

“I’ll go and get a cab.”Erik said, and rose from his seat.

“Why? Let’s just take the airway.”Jacob said, and before Erik had time to say what Jacob grabbed him and they flew out of a open window in his apartment.

They soared through the sky. Cars and people looked like tiny ants from Erik’s and Jacob’s point of view. In a matter of mintues they could see the TV station. They landed a couple blocks from it and walked towards it.It was strange already. There were no police lines or police for that matter. They walked past the gates and into the little parking lot in front of the TV station. Everything looked normal. There were no chalk outline where Gorgon’s body should have been. Nothing.

“What’s going on here?”Erik asked, looking around.

“Let’s go tell Robert about this.”Jacob asked and grabbed Erik again and flew off.

“Would it be too much to ask if you warned me before grabbing me and flying off!”Erik yelled.

They soon arrived at the hospital and went into Robert’s room. No one was in it. The bed sheets were scattered upon the floor, all of Robert’s things were gone, and the window was open.

“Great, first Gorgon and now Robert is gone.”Erik groaned.

“Are you alright citizen?What is your name?”the man in the suit of armor asked.

Max passed out before he could even answer the man in armor. The man, inspecting Max’s arm, said to himself,”It ain’t broken, merely sprained.Better get ya back to the castle. The nurses there will heal you.”

He hoisted Max into his long,strong arms, and gently placed him on his steed. The horse whined as the combined weight of Max and his master bared down on it’s back. The knight veered the horse around and began racing down the road, back toward the castle.

Max slowly woke up on a bed. His arm was bandaged up and it hurt him to move it. Using one hand, he was able to sit up in the bed. He looked around to find himself in some kind of clinic, although it didn’t look like any clinic he had ever seen. Other sick patients were in the beds around. At the other end of the room, a set of doors opened and a young lady walked in.

She was around Max’s age and was very beautiful. She had long brown hair with the eyes to match.Her smile lit up the room and it melted Max’s heart. The woman walked up beside his bed.

“Nice to see you are up Mr.Grendel.”the woman said.

“How do you know my name?”Max asked.

“We searched your pockets and found this strange thing.”the lady replied, and handed him his wallet.

“It had strange money and a weird piece of paper in it saying who you are.What is that thing anyway?”the lady asked.

Max thought it was strange that she didn’t know what a driver’s license was or american money. Suddenly, he got a terrible thought. He looked around the clinic and noticed there wasn’t any computers, devices, or anything of that matter in the room.In fact it looked something out of a history book.

“What year is it?” Max asked, ignoring the woman’s question.

“862.Why?” The lady asked, looking at him suspiciously.

“Uhm…no reason.”Max answered.

“You must have something wrong with your head.”the lady grinned, which caused Max to blush big time.

“Well, it looks like you know my name so what’s yours?”Max said.

“Amy.I’m the nurse here at the castle.”the woman replied.

“Amy. That’s a beautiful name.”Max said.Amy blushed and moved off to tend to the other patients.

Max thought to himself,”I got to get back to the present!”He glanced over at Amy, who was also gazing at him. As soon as their eyes met they turned their heads.Max smiled to himself and said,”Well, what’s the rush?I can stay for a little longer.”

Robert yawned with exhaustion. He had been reading the cards he had received today in the hospital. Balloons, flowers, and cards littered his room.He grabbed a fork, tyed a string around it, and started throwing the fork at the balloons. Then he would pulled the fork back to him.

“There’s a good use for those balloons. For my entertainment.”Robert said to himself.He looked around the room at all the flowers and groaned to himself.”What does a man want with flowers? I don’t want sissy flowers. I want chicks! Give me some chicks then I’ll be happy. Somebody needs to burn these flowers!”

Suddenly, Robert noticed a particular card on the table beside him and his blood went cold.On the front of the card was a symbol. It showed a man and a dragon forming a circle. In the middle of the circle was another man, only part of his face was a dragon while the other was human. Terror sunk into Robert and he reached for the card. There was no writing inside of it,only a smear of blood.He dropped the card and started trembling violently. They had found him,and they were coming for him.
