THE ROD OF COMMAND

THE DARK PLACE

THE DARK PLACE

Then he stopped trying for a moment, and  moved forward to the palace of destruction, after moving front, he saw another pool flowing downward and returning back upward. The color was  dark red and inside, the fire was seriously bunning.  

  He looks all around himself but finds no other way forward so he tries to enter the pool. And as he was stepping his foot on the pool, he felt as if he was stepping on an ordinary floor that was no further, but it was the pool that rejected him because he was not a wanted guest.  

He was the guest that was too powerful to come to the palace of destruction so they are trying to prevent him from meeting the unbeatable and most powerful gods, the master of the gods and goddess of the whole mermaid home.    

He looked at the pool of destruction inside the palace of destruction, and it started flowing downward and returning upward, then he tried again but instead of wetting his first leg by stepping on the pool, he stepped on the floor again and the  pool of destruction instantly stopped flowing and stood still.  

He did not understand what was going on, so he tried another way by cutting his palm hand for a new fresh blood to come out. Maybe his blood will unlock the pool of destruction. 

As soon as his blood touched the pool of destruction, then it started flowing again and dividing itself to make a way. He was so happy because at last he finally unlocked the pool. He slowly stepped on his right foot to see if anything weird would happen. As his foot was about to touch the pool, smoke came out and lifted his foot. 

Seeing that the smoke was there to take him through his destination, he quickly stretched his right foot and the second foot followed, so the smoke lifted his whole body and dropped him to a dark place.

Outside the pool, the mermaid home, Evelyn has waited for Delmar for twenty four hours, but still she never sees him coming out of the pool of fate, since he entered through the pool to free the mermaids and the mermans from the calamities they are battling. 

She asked the mermaid chief what had happened to Delmar because she was so afraid and her heart was shaking. 

“How long are we going to wait for Delmar to come out of the pool?” Evelyn asked. 

 The mermaid chief answered, “I do not know but what I can only assure you is that Delmar is fine, and I believe he is working hard to free us now, we believe him”.  

“I believed him also,” Evelyn said.  

And she kept quiet, having hope that Delmar would soon come out. 

No mermaids including the chief mermaid know that the pool of fate was so big and has so many secrets that were only known to the mermans gods, because the mermaids only enter to change their legs to fish tale, and receive abilities to control the sea. 

And after receiving everything they wanted, they will go to the sea, and wherever they are done and they need their legs to return back to the mermaid home and island, they will pass through the pool of fate and drink from the big magic cup at the entrance of the two roads.  

They only granted access from the road to the mermaid home to the sea, but the second road led to the palace of the gods where the mermans gods and the kings of the gods Merikashi joined together to communicate with destruction their real powerful god that surpassed them all.  

They never know and that was the road that carries a lot of secrets, and it remains hidden to the mermaids. The dark place was called a dark place because the place was always dark, and that was the place where destruction lives to control both the mermans and the mermaids. 

Delmar could not see anything, and he stood quietly to see the next thing that could possibly happen. 

Then he heard a thick voice saying, “Are you really sure that this is what you want, can you defeat me?” . 

“Who are you, come out and show yourself,” asked Delmar.  

Then the voice answered, “I am destroying the one you wanted to defeat, you can not defeat me because I am everywhere”. 

so he took him to another place. He told Delmar that if he can defeat him then he will allow him to go for free, and set the mermans gods free, when he agreed, he turned himself to a hot wind and kept tormenting Delmar.  

He was invisible and that give Delmar no chance to defeat him, he kept torturing him and making him to became weak, seeing him lying down, destruction laughs in a thicker voice, and the sound was coming from all angles . 

“Ah ah ah look at how weak you are, you can not save your world and now you come to the mermaid home to help them”.  

He kept appearing in every angles, Delmar closed his eyes and he became invisible too giving him the chance to compete with destruction, when he became invisible he found himself back in the dark place that he vanished out before, but this time, the dark place was not that dark because he can see what destruction really looks like.

Destruction was like a merman but he was totally different in look. His face was a dragon, on his head, he had three horns, and his hair can be counted because he has not much hairs and on each hairs, there was the face of a merman that looks like a human face but a scary one, since their faces are faded and can not be seen clearly.

And from his neck to waist look like that of a fish, with a lot of Sharp thorns. He has four hands of fire and his legs were of a fish tale. Delmar kept looking as destruction again divided himself to many and started coming in a rush, to fight him.

But those ones can not stand Delmar's heat as they were all burned and they turned into ashes. Seeing them all burned into ashes, destruction laughs and tries to reproduce his form to fight Delmar again but he never allows that to happen because he speeds himself up and battles with destruction.

They are battling on the heavens of the dark place, destruction continues sending his fires through his hands to defeat and destroy him, but as the fire was about to touch him, he quenched the fire block by turning into water as the waters continued flowing from his body.

Destruction keep trying all method and skills, but his skills was not working on Delmar, he noticed he might vanished to another place so he jumped to his back and hold destruction, but all destruction back was a lots of sharp thorns, so he kept shooting the thorns  at his back but none was affecting Delmar.

So Delmar stretched his hand and pulled out one of his hairs, he pulled the second ones, as he was pulling them out, destruction was screaming and could not turn his back. As Delmar noticed that destruction was getting weak, and now he knows his weak sides, so he pulled everything one after another and destruction also turned into ashes and vanished away.

As soon as destruction turned into ashes and was destroy, Delmar found himself down the dark place, little by little the dark became brighten and no traces of dark place was found, then all the mermans who their lives were in boundage are all set free, the palace of the gods are once beautiful, the beautiful flowers began to sprouts out, as Delmar was coming out of the pool of fate, all the mermans gods and the mermaids have gathered to pay homage to Delmar for saving their world.

When he stepped out of the pool of fate, the mermans and the mermaids bow before him and pay homage to him, greeting him saying, “the savior of our lives and the son of the most powerful Queen Sisiana, the prince and the future king of Shashiah, we owned our lives to you, may you continue to see the blessings from the god of the heavens”.

After that, Delmar looks at Evelyn and hugged her, he thank the little Ebres for her good work, and they set to leave the mermaid home, when they get to the island where they will make for themselves the gate from the passage of the mermaid island to the human world, the little Ebres picked up another stick and draw a big gate.

She brought out the Dragonfish to place on the middle and the side of the gate drawn, but she was struck by the lightning again and she fell down.

The little Ebres was still down, and she started to see a woman calling her saying, “please save us, save us we are dying”.

She moved closer to the place the woman voice was coming from, she was still wondering to see the woman calling, then suddenly an old woman appears with chains in her two hands, shedding tears like waters, “old woman why are you shedding tears, what happened to you,” asked the little Ebres. 

The old woman answered, “We are many who are under the rule of the wicked King, we are being treated unfairly”.

As the old woman kept talking, her face changed to the face of princess Velena.

Then the little Ebres woke up, “are you alright?” Delmar asked.

“I think so,” the little Ebres answered. 

So they placed the Dragonfish in the drawing, the gate became a real one, and they all passed through the flashlight to the earth, the little Ebres told them what she saw along their way home. 

She told Delmar that princess Velena was in a big problem, “I saw her, her World is in big trouble, they need help,” the little Ebres said with unstable breathing. 

But Delmar could not pay attention because of another sign that is about to occur.

After the disappearance of the Rod of command, Delmar and the evil Vigora suffered in the wind for some some days before making it out, but since then the Rod of command was still hidden and no one knew where it was.

And since it had gone hidden, Vigora the evil spirit was silent for a while gathering some evil humans as usual, who were just wicked like him to prepare a war with the humans and take all over the world to rule as their king.

But he could not do that since he has a big stumbling block who will never allow him, and that stumbling block was Delmar and his PowerPoint, he thought that before defeating Delmar. He must conquer his source of powers, but little did he know that the power point was not only Delmar's PowerPoints, there are also  some things behind it that make him stronger the more he grows up, he developed a new power to control.

So another sign is about to begin.
