She sat upright in her bed with a gasp. She just had a terrible nightmare. Not only that, she fumbled by the bedside table, trying to find her phone in the dark, but couldn’t find it. She knew she left it there.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN8rlZIGnl
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVkIeYUO0T
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0nkCFnCK3
Someone on the other side of the bed, stirred in their sleep upon hearing the ruckus and turned to look at the person fumbling in the dark.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9puZ9oNlh

"What the-?" a bed lamp light soon turned on as the person who had been woken switched it on. "Nicani kanshi? (What is wrong now?) What are you looking for? And in the early hours of the morning?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH8LvI4XoT
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E5PbR1iSx
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut3s0Od6QU
She didn’t answer at first until she realized that her phone isn’t anywhere nearby. She turned to look at her husband beside her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUSjAvkNAm
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCizvJ99yfw
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1FX3rAxze
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrEO7f5m8ep
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBROTfygNH
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvCtxhXo2H
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpJ5ygCjMm
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNA0it0ahm
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBK3YJ3c9e
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQM9QUDmNb
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajaRVBWInq
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWaQ3TN5RA
"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDO3s3j9OQD
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobPMosNBjk
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSImsgCQrw
In her black nightdress, she went to the dressing table and found her phone there like her husband said. She quickly took it and turned around to get her black sleeping gown at the foot of the bed. In her bare feet, she quickly went to the door and left the room. Her husband growled as he lifted his head to see the door left wide open. He muttered and slowly sat up.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0V2AGrVgGv

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zz1ikKJt4
She walked down the quiet, dark hallway until she made a corner, entering a room. She flipped the switch and the lights went on in the living room. Likewise, she turned to her phone to make a call.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJpladPXup
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMxS3vTgBh
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZ8CgsdNGs
When she put the phone to her ear, the line on the other end didn’t even ring as the automated phone system said the person she’s trying to reach had their phone switched off.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaVeM8i8HD
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb3zEGwGFU
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZrLdGTyyr
"I told her not to be switching off her phone," she muttered angrily as she looked at her phone to make a call to someone else.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy19zmsQnNG
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgHnqLjX5Y
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRIGgwmU6r
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiELwrLpWn
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftcb6r99DD
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fsywqH0ur
She started to pace up and down, bypassing the glass table on the white and black zebra print carpet. Not only that, she didn’t think of sitting on the black leather seats as with each minute that passed, her anxiety increased.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWxoquWS1g
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz4RTUt8Sc
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Gsi9bQlvW
When the person on the other end didn’t pick up either, she sucked her teeth and tried to call again when she realized that someone is in the room. She turned to find her husband there in his blue pyjamas, looking sleepy as ever. She now felt guilty for waking him up.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRkfYfZ4bo

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GHC0H0BHY
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFASZbcFvw
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLG6xolGoh
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68Ou2q2oaw
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3LazY9jb

"Didn't you talk to her a day before? If anything were to happen, your mother or Katy will let us know."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRC4wlfqw3v
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KuEYkJXSL
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OeoayD9jE
Diana’s mother growled in frustration. She quickly went over to one of the chairs to sit, her head buried in her hands. Her husband came to join her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhacBnS3o3q
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Lv3cMXVX
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZsTWx8Zsq
"You don’t understand," she said, dropping her hands to look at him. "I had another dream about her and this time it felt different."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLfguhuqO8
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62RTtDg6qS
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKqL0G8ibs
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJGBrzvNE4
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhyVw0MM5s
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM3a5yuxvR
Before she spoke, she bit her lip. She didn’t know how to explain it. Her previous dreams over the years weren’t as vivid and intense as this one.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgLkd23Wgc
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFFEA4BXOM
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgrvnZ7ox8
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneuunrQ0rF
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7hBV1OE19
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡILEBExkDps
"That’s what you always say when you have these dreams," said Diana’s father. "Aren’t they just dreams? How many have you had over the years, but they've never happened?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1a2VyH0wwv
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN3PxI4mvE
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerNPY4j8A6
Diana’s mother now sat upright, shaking her head. "What if they did? I believe they did. Besides, Diana doesn’t always tell us what goes on in her life. She’s so secretive."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2enXm87gKG
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeL4CfJu3z
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqyuwfAfdL
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadrE3D9Ixb
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8gjJ33h9y
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7qgIxmvpzu
"No, I’ve always had a feeling that she's been hiding something from us. She’s a good girl, but I feel there’s a lot going on in her life that we don’t know about."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUwJ11s0LZ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ3r5H1qSW
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVy7FGRBs
Her husband rolled his eyes. "Please, don’t bring up those incidences that were happening in the neighbourhood. Those were explainable accidents, and you can’t point a finger at Diana. Most of the time she wasn’t even there, and they happened almost four years ago."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGXddG1WHT
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z1invPKXa

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRa2VUm3WcO
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡok8ZbiGDv5
"Enough, please. That’s a long time ago and nothing has happened to her. You haven’t had terrible nightmares for years, so it's probably just nothing."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22aUyf8Z6
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmoVaDUVW2M
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHNGQOZViX
Diana’s mother looked at her husband, still with a worried look. She looked away. As much as he might be right, her intuition ate at her terribly. She can’t just ignore what she dreamt. If anything, it felt more like the first vivid dream she had of Diana; that she had died. She remembered calling the school to check up on her, and they told her Diana was perfectly fine. When Diana came home for the holidays, there was something different about her.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqbGQ0aEBv

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5LvcLWDEE
"Tiyeni (come), let’s go back to sleep," her husband persisted as he held her hand on her lap. "If you want, you and I can call your mother sometime in the morning." 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfLSpJfAIV
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPyH5eEtCa
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxU9fm6Per
She couldn’t argue with him there, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. Not until she hears that Diana is alright. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZbJBQqE6p

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2xUJk2VUR

"Be quick," Diana’s father stood. "If you’re not in the room in two minutes, I’ll come and drag you if I have to." 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8Pjn1oTO2
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZhpiBhJyW
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3PBWBQP8Y
With quiet, steady steps, Diana’s father walked out of the room, leaving his wife still seated on the couch. She quickly sent Katy a text, but she knew it wasn’t enough.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHgTEwUi10

Namatama stood up from her seat and slowly started to make her way out of the living room. She thought she saw a shadow pass through the window, outside. Likewise, she stopped to draw aside the curtain. A neighbour’s floodlight shone brightly in the next yard. For a moment, she thought maybe a cat had passed atop the wall fence, causing the shadow she saw.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvjs9bWDj3
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFl24Kkfhn
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0WLtefytO
Before she was able to push the curtains, she thought she had seen something through the corner of her eye in the room. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned to see if there’s anyone there. The only people awake are she and her husband, and she would've heard him if he had made his way back in the living room.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8PI4xqzt0
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNSNBXoHwF
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hWL8tEHi8

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoytyjAjMW
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9NDCIZb8R
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSiIIDV9wM
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOgoL0gC74
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXRNDEJA2m
As soon as she heard it, she jumped in fright and almost screamed, but someone covered her mouth with their hand from behind, holding her in place. Diana’s mother is now terrified that there's a stranger in the house. She started to breathe heavily.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYlHwRl9Yh
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nDumxHgnH
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksgwfodxD2
"Don’t move, and I won’t hurt you," came the voice in a soft, yet dangerous whisper. "Calm down. I’ll uncover your mouth. Don’t scream or else I'll kill you. Nod if you understand."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE7MB98lof
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1mp3g9a54
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW8qBxTL7u
She nodded, and started to slow her breathing. Her heart beat fast like a drum that she could hear it. The person’s hand over her mouth slowly fell away, and she felt relieved. She quickly looked behind her, but no one is there.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Be4cw07FI
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxq1wbAgkHt
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ2uN3UwTY
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDZC4jBJ6h
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqY7RG5Mtz
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVynBhExFAw
She swallowed and slowly turned her head back. Likewise, she found someone standing in front of her, all dressed in black and floating in midair. Namatama gasped in fright as she thought she would never come across the terrifying skull-faced mask ever again.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFY1a0AelQ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdEdki53Xa
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZiuOEIcpu
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75HocL97aX
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8NRxXU6cN
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPvRobWcHm
"What are you doing here?" Namatama asked, her voice breaking with both fear and anger. "I thought I told you not to show yourself ever again."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhUgCjYHyE
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLcyJuoERJ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNfzFyJBsg
The floating figure raised her hand to remove the mask. Behind it lay a young face of a woman with light, brown skin and sharp, dark eyes like that of a cat. Her lips were coloured black, and she grinned at Namatama with her white, razor sharp teeth glowing in the dark.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMPntrzFiK
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqnE6XEAI4
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rXphqAjzK
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9xA3604VJ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlf69xXVul
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0nPPldjjn
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xc8hCNGd4
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oybiRpVR8
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhLylYhlZT
The woman chuckled. "It’s sad that you don’t know what’s going on. So much has happened over the years that you’ve failed to notice."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbJQl6SYzc
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhoeFDzSgj

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORhtSGTd8X
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXBbf52oiH
The woman floating in the air came a little closer. "You know that she’s beyond special. It’s been that way from the day she was born." 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq7wGjDtLy
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7459ewnhR
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKniqYjyxfj
"Get to the point. You came here after such a long time to talk to me, and it’s about Diana. Tell me, is she in trouble?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb2MqHMR60
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlH3VpCOWl
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFS1k2yL4jQ

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6M95vIRWze
"Honey, why aren’t you here yet?" Diana’s father called out. Namatama almost muttered out loud, upset that her husband could call out like that when everybody else is fast asleep.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4CLEVOyo

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPPfOTdPMR
"I think you already know how she started behaving when she came back from boarding school a couple of years ago. Some might think she was going through puberty, but you as a mother knew better."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQwqdKPSRE

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoDLMXbBjM
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTAoah6EGU
The woman in black nodded. "Yes. She’s been trying to act as normal as she can around you, but it's been difficult to keep it under wraps with all those weird events that used to happen."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkVXPQ66md
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWnTOCuA45

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Yu9AlZFZS
Namatama continued to back away as her heart started to feel heavy with grief. She felt a sharp piercing through her heart and tears already started to fill her eyes. "What have I done?" she muttered. "What have I done?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpws3mojSTZ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfJGU9Qhl
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jk5ic4dgc
Her hand flew to her chest as she sank to her knees onto the carpeted floor. Tears quickly fell onto her cheeks as she covered her mouth. The woman in black continued to look at her as she said:592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJvAt6vZqr
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0d89wK8XiR
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIheHPRgHL
"As heartbreaking as this is, you should know that Diana is a very strong girl. But I’m afraid the danger she is facing right now is too great that she has to brace herself."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡat3NzEoTfQ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDQvsQVwXL
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePlLfVtMUm

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTkxDga344
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCQT5jHXdk
The smile the woman had earlier plastered onto her face again. "A lot has happened over the years that has made your daughter the bravest girl I’ve ever seen. She’s been through a lot. And for a girl her age, I’m surprised she has matured this quickly, especially with her true nature coming into fruition. Many people wouldn’t have handled it as well as she has."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1PJ8tZ8Cg
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83v7OrcJbl
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeKCraht3R

The woman put up a genuine smile. "Just like you, Diana is also very important to me. Don’t make the mistake of not telling her. It's best it comes from you and not anyone else."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjt7XRhMGq

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmsvEOoLza
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogv1dhXbAv
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFV57PEqzCz
Namatama quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up. She looked in front of her and the woman in black had disappeared.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf2E8Yg98p

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room.

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhuq0g4WJT

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiuGaWh10w
I look back at him, trying to relive what happened. "Well, I’ve encountered shadow monsters and also a level one." I feel Stella look at me. I must have forgotten to mention that I had faced a level one before. "And this one felt like the one I fought before. Shadow monsters might be mindless creatures that love to bring about destruction, but there’s something about a level one that has always kept me wondering whether they really do think on their own."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUr4ihpONG1

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvVxibyWu3
Lucifer chuckled. "While the supernatural world is a mystery to normal people, many supernaturals have also been blinded about their own world for years. Only a few go looking for the truth, and they don't like what they find. I hate to be so flippant about revealing the truth, but I'm not the only one who can control them."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXjaTa7GEs

"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqYDpQcLqX
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK364c7uyEB

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHyYYlA91R
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKpTq4IwUd
Lucifer ignored him by not commenting. He looked through the bookshelves at the thick books with hard black covers. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but you can tell nothing good comes from those books.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuJyPxkPkC
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsFwgG1vw7
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvdoxeMNhD
"Okay," he took one thick book on the shelf and brought it to the desk. It looked so thick that I’m glad I’ll never get to read it. Who knows what dark things it holds.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuioq2oyFJV
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhopI7cZY69
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttHIzzIFKV
He started to flip through the pages and I couldn’t help but take a peek. The pages are old, and I noticed that whoever wrote the book, had a pretty sharp, cursive handwriting. There were many drawings and illustrations on some pages and a few of them looked quite gruesome. Stella didn’t fringe away from looking at it. I turn to Mutale and I see him look the other side. Some Elite soldier, he is. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKOyz8JpTm
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZMw3wdGPM
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVO6X7Q2ec
"So," I turn to look at Lucius behind me while we wait for Lucifer to find the page, "you say controlling a shadow monster is difficult. How difficult?" 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfAsPGg8Kr
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywQAWQHEjV
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumJmkZmha9
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tCLXE1NRU

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfsDH4Kano

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtataYibH5
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUimLV8BKZ4
"The way you control it is almost similar to the way you can mind control a human being. It’s easier on humans because you can manipulate the mind. We already know shadow monsters are mindless, so you really have to dig a little deeper to take control of them, meaning it takes up a lot of your energy."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7xlXPGQKi
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKWE8u3VWt
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz8nnbbNaVK

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxrbP7qMHB
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFdK4gYeve
"I’m guessing whoever brought up the rumour that only the devil can control such things, must have done so to prevent us from ever thinking that we can control one," I said.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKBmB44LbH
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzALf0g53l
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYBoF6EW5D
Lucifer chuckled. "True. We did that because we know if many supernaturals broke their minds, we would’ve a lot of them causing havoc when that’s my job. And I am at least a little lenient." I gave him a look on that last part.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiJG9vxg9d

"The Immortals of Old," he answered as he continued looking through the pages. "Those who have lived from the beginning of time, so to say."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV4wXJGter
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWmuhlfcX
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZSxiTyPRV

"If I can recall, the person who was in charge of the Butterfly Island before her Highness was there too," Lucifer looks up at Stella.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aD55Ohem0
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyBvm95cxV

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2axCZAokiy
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjJdNTE2AY
"Killing an immortal is hard, and you know that better than anyone, Diana," said Lucifer. "That old fella is probably somewhere either in this world or the other in a peaceful place chanting mantras or something."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FkyY3MHEP
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrOBEUXCdq
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5nStQvMCk
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY4MB1eNEe
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNedGFMCmd
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuOqfDYoIm
That’s a shock. Whatever reason he had for leaving his position and going elsewhere must have been genuine. The world of the supernatural is just as confusing and chaotic as the human one. If also given the chance, I would also disappear.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpG61qzI40

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVnDJXIjbt
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONuCg3Edhd
Stella and I quickly stood up from our seats to look. Mutale remained where he is. Lucius slowly came to join us at the table.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzun61mPYIa
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuYfmwrjzK
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L0A2mXodR
"Okay, so," Lucifer pointed to the paragraph on the page. "Like I said, you must be a supernatural. It says here for you to control something as dark as a shadow monster, you must join the dark side."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvJ5zWTPmy
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8V9d3IEFyZ
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJzjuRXPHx

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mSljeVGUU
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8NCsxBKVcr
"Yep. Selling your soul to me, that kind of thing. And…, it says here you must also sacrifice the one thing that means precious to you and there are some blood rituals you’ve to perform with all the symbols and stuff."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfahpBgpol
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IzJiChCOi
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdtV9DVuEj
"Okay, but these are just the basic stuff that a lot of us could’ve already guessed," said Stella. "What we really want to know is who could it be."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyUfRG7a9Y
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHJXpxTrNm
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzzsQlNSRX
"Stella is right," I said, looking up from the book to Lucifer. "You say anyone can control a shadow monster and these are the requirements. Isn’t there anyone who can naturally control them like you do? What if the person we seek never had to perform this ritual?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzu8fisSRY
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMrzWvJat1
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGYrkT9C4j
Lucifer now looked at me and this time, he had a grim look. "I was afraid you were going to ask me that," he said. He looked down at the book and flipped through a couple of pages. "Apparently, you’re right. I’m not the only one who can control them naturally. There are two more beings that can."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoMp3T4knG
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNUqHvIHbA
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5wuwa00mE

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuqayVjlum
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULdHtADVE3
Lucifer pointed to the top left side of the book where there’s a list of names. His is the top. The second and third made my insides freeze. I should’ve known better, especially with the third.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlSfJJwWjB
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rvGbKSbBF

"Oh, I think it is." Lucifer brought his left hand up in midair and at the same time, Mutale is lifted off his seat and brought forward. He flinched at first, trying to get away from Lucifer’s invisible grip, but he knows it's pointless. 592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3HWrn9yjT

Lucifer turned the book the other way around for Mutale to look at. Mutale did his level best to look upwards, but with a simple bend of his index finger, Lucifer made Mutale’s head point downwards. The look on Mutale’s face as his eyes fell on the book said it all.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSVHc6SI0w

"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYsLUgprWx

"I’m sorry, but this book was written centuries ago," said Lucifer. "Like I said before, so many things have been hidden from us that we only know what we think is relevant because it’s been set that way for ages. No one likes to know the truth. We all just like to hide in the sweet bliss of ignorance."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMVqrkfU4s

"Enough," I said, taking the book and turning it away from Mutale’s eyes. "There must be a reasonable explanation for this. May you please put him back down?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aw8q40WAw

"Well, I think I’ve taken in a lot of these revelations for one day," said Stella as she looked at me. She soon went to sit back down on her chair.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91NCDMLpsp

I look at Mutale, and he still looked horrified. I feel bad for him. It’s not easy receiving the truth like he did just now. Even I’m trying to take it all in.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX0Y28ncdK

I went back to look at the list and I realized that just after the first three were a few more. But the names were written in a symbolic language that I couldn’t recognize.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1ad4Ip7C3
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX2qgQBh1e
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1psYSXNH0V

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkU9u8rD3U

Lucifer now looked at me and that charming smile of his came back. "It’s not necessary. If I were you I should be more worried about number 3."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhg2r9dzwif

"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFwRilUHXx

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsbBulprur
"I’m sorry," said Lucifer, raising an eyebrow at Mutale. "But isn’t He the same person who created day and night? Light and darkness?" He sighed. "Let me tell you a little something to ease your mind a little."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTcnbB702Z2

"As much as He can control shadow monsters, He wouldn’t do it just to get to Diana," Lucifer continued. "He has you Elite soldiers for that. If He wanted to, I bet He would’ve sent his angels to do the job, but the Golden Elite decided to take up the role."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAfspPdO4b

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgihLfycwOU
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRb4ywqtHV
"He can’t control a shadow monster without me knowing about it, so he’s already out of the question. It’s just the way it is. Moreover, if I try to do something similar to the light, he would know. That’s why the two of us have always stayed in our lane to not bring about confusion. But I do like to give him a challenge once in a while."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3sgvOaPXf

Lucifer threw his son another look showing that he’s annoyed with him. Before he could throw a comment, a knock came at the door. For a moment, I forgot about where we were and that there are people in the house. Lucifer told whoever was at the door to come in, and the door flew open. A woman in a black dress and white apron stood there. She is short and plump with her blonde hair tied into a bun. This must be the house help.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuGMhTsdwo

"Yes, bring it in. I want you to tell the guards to get everyone out of the house," Lucifer ordered. "The place looks like a hellhole."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuLiLz0jFF
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2749IF5Thq
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeavKqZoO4
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9B8A9FYFtx

The help dragged in a movable tray behind her and there are all sorts of delicious breakfast treats: chocolate chip cookies, eggs, bacon, bread and cereal for any of us craving for it. There were plenty of white teacups, plates and bowls to go around. And after all that’s happened in the last few hours, I now feel hungry.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hoKCYfImC

The help soon left and Lucifer said, "please, dig in. As for you," he turned to Mutale, "you also better eat up after receiving the news that your wonderful Being isn’t involved in this mess."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEuwagfRpp

I watched the three surrounding the tray before my eyes flew back to the open book before me. My eyes are gravely fixed on the name that's third on the list and my hunger quickly dissipated. I should've known earlier that there's only one being who really wants to get rid of me with all their might:592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8n0b5HiKcH
