FIVE
Deep within the crack of gehenna their lies Jay’s abducted family Carly and his mum, they laid in a void-like prison where they could not even hear their own screams a hissing sound is heard, emerging out of a portal full of flames a figure steps out, he seems to be in a corporate attire but his face wasn’t clear to his captives, he steps closer to his captives asking them questions but they seem to shiver in fear demanding for the local police or asking the figure if he wanted ransom.
‘Humans you’re are full of simple thoughts so plane and ignorant but you’re race holds balance in the universe my father’s little pets’ said the figure as he grips Jay’s mum by her chin.
‘Please where is my boy, what have you done with him….please just let us go’ said Jay’s mum in a shaking voice as she shields Carly in her arms.
‘Mrs Sanders calm down all we want is your son…you see he’s a very special boy and special kids deserve special treatment but for now the little girl has to come with me’ as he grabs Carly she cries out for her mum, Jay’s mum tries to fight back by gripping his arms holding him back.
‘You know i love it when they scream’ said the mysterious figure. He grips Jay’s mum by her neck tossing her further into the void, she falls onto the ground and moans in pain ‘you’re a monster…o God pls save us’
‘Honey God isn’t here’ the portal opens as the figure drags screaming Carly through it.
It has been hours since Jay has been apprehended by the nephilims of precious haven his resistance has proven futile cause the more he tried to escape the weaker he became he was about succumb but his spirit was strong but after moments of failed trials he falls onto the ground to gather strength to escape he suddenly hears footsteps approaching to his prison it was Mia.
‘You know this prison was to withhold Baalkus’ said Mia
‘What the hell is a Baalku is this another thing you guys came up with to keep me here all i want is my family I thought me following you guys here would help me get my family which was abducted by that thing which on the contrary wasn’t my aunt’ said Jay as he gasps.
‘Baalkus are demons, according to Hess you have demon blood in you, but what i saw that night was a half-wing release from you that’s what we nephilims can do’ Mia says as she looks intently at Jay who catches his breath one gasp at a time, she dips her hand into her pocket and brings out a can of water she slid it through the door opening as it lands with a thud in Jay’s cell. He quickly grabs the can of water the sound of squeezing plastic is heard as Jay takes large gulps of water.
Mia says ‘I’m not supposed to tell you this but Percival and the sub-rectors are having a council to decide your faith’
‘What have i done, what makes you think that i have demon blood within me’ said Jay.
They rattling of keys could be heard and footsteps approaching, your time is up a voice boomed it was one of the guards. Mia spits into the cell and says cursed Baalku and walks away.
Days turned into weeks the weaker Jay grew in the Baalku prison his fate has been decided by Percival Hess and the sub-rectors, Jay was been dragged out of the prison by the guards as photophobia hit him, that’s what you get by being locked up for several days in a dark gloomy cell. The sound of the large doors could be heard as they swung open, the creak of the hinges sounded familiar Jay tried to look up as he was held by two guards one on each side, it was the door with paintings on it.
The feeling in the room was different unlike before, the once empty seats were now occupied by strange looking individuals each wearing long flowing white regalia, they wore a breast plate of a familiar looking symbol ‘ where have i seen that before’ Jay thought to himself. It was the symbol above the chair in the extreme of the room. A towering figure backed the central isle, right beside the chair was a man clothed in a sky blue flowing robe with the same symbol of his breast plate, he seemed regal in appearance and his hair was all plaited in Corn-rows, and his beards well cut. It was Percival Hess, high rector of precious haven this was a council and he was ‘‘in regalia’’.
‘Today my brothers we have come here to decide the faith of this Baalku spy’ said Percival as his voice boomed across the room filled with nephilim warriors which stood as witnesses.
People murmuring ‘enough’ Percival said as the murmurs ceased
‘We gather here today to remind the creatures of darkness not to prey on our weakness but to show we gathered here to fight as one, to remind us of our cause we are warriors yes but we are also brothers, sisters, comrades. This day will be a reminder to the dark ones that we are strong’
Warriors shouting ‘enough let the judgment begin’ as Percival raises his hands a sigil appears under Jay’s feet which forms burning gold-like chains binding him to the ground Jay moans in pain.
‘Your fate has been sealed Baalku, you’re charged for alliance and sudden apparition of the hell hound and Niglar in new york city…your punishment can only be paid in death’ as the burning chains glows brighter’
Stop!! a voice boomed across the room it was mia.
‘On what grounds nephilim warrior you do not interrupt the judgment been carried out by the high-rector, know your place at once child’ said by one of the sub-rectors.
‘He is innocent moreover you can’t punish one of us without abiding by the accords’
‘One of us…watch what you spew from your mouth Mia’ said Percival Hess.
‘My highest apologies lord Percival but that night what I witnessed from him was a ‘‘HALF-WING release’’
‘Half-wing release, no Baalku can perform a half-wing release’ said Percival
‘Yes my lord…I looked into the sigil he performed that night it was old something ancient maybe that’s why your interpretation was wrong’
‘What are you trying to say young one’
‘My lady Deloris, I know questioning Percival’s abilities has its consequences but he is one of us I can feel it, that’s why I pledge my LEMVENDRA’.
‘You do know what you’re doing child’ said Lady Deloris.
‘Yes my Lady I place my life to clear his charges that’s why I invoke the SPIRIT-RAIDER where he may be given a chance to fight for his freedom’ said Mia
‘And if he fails, you know what happens his death becomes yours and you both will die’ said Percival Hess.
Yes answered Mia.
‘You have 10 days to prepare him for the spirit- raider this council is dismissed’.
