Enchanted By The Devil

oo… Let me go… Someone help them please… Mum… Dad. ”

Eyes wide in horror, pain and fear as everyone watches the building fall into its dust with a loud sound.

”NO!! ”

No matter how loud Scarlett cried or called for help, everyone was at a standstill. There was nothing they could do. The house had already been destroyed.

Besides, they found no survivors as the fire had burnt everything on its path. Now, only the cries and begging of Scarlett could be heard.

”Please, don go… Mum… Dad, come out already. Don die like that… P-Please, don leave me… Aaaahhhh!! ”

The bystanders heaved sighs of pity as they witnessed the gruesome scene of the house getting burnt down. Some could not even hold back their tears at such a terrible and pitiful sight.

The evening soon came as the bright clouds and sun paved way for the bare black sky and bright full moon.

The crowd thinned over time as multiple bystanders occasionally approached to give their condolences until only Scarlett, Kayden and a few policemen were left at the scene.

In a dark building secluded in the far away mountain, a ritual was being carried out. Men in black clothing hiding their facial features under hooded robes, could be spotted lined up in a circular format.

In their midst was a body also clothed in black that was laid on a symbol on the concrete floor. Around the body and the room were several lit candles.

They were the only source of light in the room that looked like an underground chamber of darkness. The men standing in black began to chant uniformly in an ancient language.

As the chanting continues, one of the men, who seemed to be the leader moved from one person to another with a golden cup and a sharp knife that had a black red-eyed dragon carved on its handle.

Each man he stood before would accept the knife and cut their palm with the golden cup underneath. It went round till no one was left.

Taking the golden cup and knife to a lifted altar. He spoke in a loud voice in the now silent room.

”Vakria umingo zres~ laeva vrag nastati… Under the fullest moon, at the deepest and darkest grounds and hearts, we summon you, the great dark lord. ”

The man took the cup to stand above the head of the body on the symbol. He slowly knelt and tilted the golden cup filled with their blood unto the carved symbol.

As the blood flows through the little paths made by the symbol, the man continued.

”Ancient mighty ruler, arise and lead us once more. Awaken from thy slumber. AWAKEN! ”

As soon as those words rolled out of his lips, a dense black smoke appeared from the statues of ancient creatures within the room. They gathered at the centre of the room and possessed the body.

Seconds later, a pair of dark red eyes swept open and the once lifeless body came alive.

”He has awoken. ”
