Marcus Triun - Part 43 (Volfram)

It
was Daemon, in other words, a demon so evil you can't possibly imagine what kind of destructive powers he would possess. But his aura seemed weirdly enough...Different then our last meeting , fifteen years ago. When I still was a boy and I lived happily with my parents and my other brother...Ayakashi overrun the village. Murdering Ayakashi everywhere. I was so scared, and I fled by leaving all of my family behind in cower. I still feel so bad about it, that I joined up with the Witch - Hunters and got accepted by them. To make a long story short, his aura seemed different. In other words, he became alot stronger and I had a hard feeling he was still a Demon. He became ALOT more muscular and his appearance changed more to a kind of monster. Ayakashi have three forms, Shadowling; an Ayakashi which has been killed in his body and is in search for another body. If you kill the body from the one the Ayakashi posesses while the body still has it's own spirit the body and his/her spirit will be destroyed together with the Ayakashi. But when the Ayakashi already made the body is host, and killed the spirit he can rise up again as a Shadowling if killed. If not, it will become his body. Then you have the Demons, just ordinary Ayakashi as you know them, and then the Devils. Champions from the almighty, horrific Succubus. Lavto. Daemon became something far, far more dangerous. Daemon held the kid with the name Cucurion in the air, slowly starting to choke him. Daemon's eyes peered deep into my eyes, he had no pupils anymore. His eyes were totally dark red, his foul voice started speaking : " Something precious to you?" Volfram:" Leave him alone !" Daemon:"That's just enough of an answer to me." Just at the moment when Daemon tries to slash into him, Cucurion starts to scream, and yells :" STOP ! I'm Marcus' apprentice ! I won't let anyone or anything hurt me ! " Daemon's half burned off eyebrow went up with a frown on his face. Daemon:" Marcus' apprentice eh? So you're an Ayakashi too?" Cucurion's eyebrow went up too. He looked at me in despair, so I directly nodded to Cucurion he had to improvise very quickly. Cucurion:"OH, yeah...Ofcourse...Yeah...I'm an...Ayakashi..." Daemon:"I understand, well if you're one show me your powers." Cucurion still held up in the air started to speak very slowly so he could think over his answer:"To be honest I wa--..." ???:"Stop. Put him down. No questions." Daemon threw the kid on the ground, and turned around really slowly. It was Marcus. Daemon directly kneeled before him and he spoke :" Marcus, our prince. We have missed you for too long, please come back home to our city!" Marcus held his hand up, as a sign he wanted silence and tried to speak. "I have no intentions of returning home, I'm going to attack Arishalore with my army. These people need me, and they've been murdered and slaughtered for no good reasons. And what goes for the gods, they lied to me so they will pay for what they've done. They will be killed, and Arishalore, Niarlore and Safilore will burn. And from the ashes we will rebuild everything again, so I can be the king and ruler of everything." Marcus walked towards Daemon, he kicked him on his face. Marcus:"How did you even dare, touching my apprentice. " I came running up to the kid, and kneeled before him, slowly getting him on his feet. Marcus:"You too, get away from my apprentice you son of a --..." Cucurion:"NO, you'd better shut up! It's all your fault! Because of you I'm becoming blind !" Marcus stepped backwards, just when he tried to get closer to Cucurion , Cucurion yelled :" NO! BACK OFF!" Marcus:"Tshk...I don't need you." He walked off and he snapped with his fingers. Five ogre sentinels appeared and fifteen Goblins. Marcus:"Have a lot of fun. Kill ' em." Darn. I still had my flintlock and rapier in my hand. Daemon stood up and said:"No worries." He simply nodded to them, and they all exploded in flashes of blood, nothing was over from them. Daemon:" I'm going after Marcus, oh yeah. That's right." He walked towards me, picked me up with one hand ... Amazing his pure raw strength. He threw me away from Cucurion, he tried to stand up as quickly as he could and had a twig in his hand. Cucurion:"Get away from me !" Daemon:"Now , now. That ain't very polite. Maybe I should punish you for it ..." He said with a large grin. I quickly grabbed my flintlock and I marked for Daemon's head. Daemon saw it, reached his hand to me and the gun exploded in my hands. Then he went on towards Cucurion, Cucurion reached out to jab Daemon on his chin. It was a direct hit, but Daemon's face only turned, and turned back to Cucurion's face. Daemon:"Now it's my turn." He jabbed Cucurion so hard on his face he flew a meter backwards on his back. Volfram:"CUCURION !" I ran to Daemon and tried to jump on his back , it did help since Daemon lost his balance and fell. I saw shadows moving, more Witch - Hunters. They all at once appeared and held their flintlocks on his face. Daemon stood up, threw me away and he glided his way up to the sky. He flew to Cucurion, took out a small knife from his pocket, stabbed him several times and in his eyes. He licked the blood from the knife, and dissolved into the Shadows. Darn it, DARN IT. I'm so weak compared to that guy! Darn, Cucurion ! I ran to him, he screamed and yelled :" MY EYES! AAH, EVERYTHING HURTS!" I tried to calm him down :"Hush, everything is going to be okay. Calm down, we're going to help you." Cucurion:"Volfram...I can't see anything, please, please help me!" Volfram:"Sshhh...It's alright, it's going to be okay." I saw tears coming from his stabbed eyes...Why Daemon... Just why...
