The Darkness
Shall save the world
Six shall find the blade of darkness
And Triumph over the evil
One will find the bluest flames
And harness their power
One will find life in death
And choose
One will use the forbidden magic
And be forever an outcast
One will change the earth forever
And decide their fate
One will harness the winds of time
And change their past for good
One will lose their soul
To the darkest blade
And forever be consumed
CHAPTER ONE
"Come on Venator!'' Selena yelled.
"Its kind of hard to run when you're covered in dried blood,'' Venator complained, running as fast as possible.
"Not my fault you ran into a demon," Selena snapped.
"Will you two stop bickering and just freaking run?!'' yelled Maximum.
"Sorry Max,'' Venator and Selena apologized.
"We're all clear!'' Neko yelled, and she jumped down from the tree she was in.
"Let's camp in that cave,'' Gade suggested.
Kasai sighed. "I'll light the fire."
"I can catch us some fish,'' Neko offered, and she started to walk to a nearby river.
Suddenly, a circular object appeared.
"Hold o-'' Kasai started, but was thrown to the ground by a large Boom.
"What is it?'' Neko asked, and tentatively poked it with a nearby stick.
''I don't know," Max said.
"Hey, it's opening,'' Venator said, a bit of panic in his voice.
"It's full of supplies,'' Selena said in awe.
And indeed, there was bandages, food, water, and some matches inside.
Kasai snorted when he saw the matches.
"Idiots," he said, and broke a match.
"Come on lets get in that cave." Venator said
"Agreed." Neko said.
"Oh shi-." Selena yelled.
They were being ambushed by bladers.
"Run!" Neko screamed
"No kidding." Venator exclaimed, already starting to make a break for it.
"Why don't we fight?" Kasai asked.
"There have to be at least a hundred." snapped Venator
"What the- ," started Kasai he was blasted forward by an explosion.
"They just exploded!" said Selena in awe.
In the rubble was a person holding a Katana (Japanese sword) ran at them.
"Hello children," the man said.
They all took a step back, Neko's fur bristling.
"Who are you?" Kasai asked hesitantly, ready to fight.
The man raised an eyebrow, then laughed like a maniac.
After he stopped, he said
"Why, you can call me Astaroth," he said, and reached into his cloak.
"But I am much more famously known as… The Marionette," He finished, and pulled a scythe bigger than Neko.
Gade went pale.
"This is BAD." She said.
Kasai snorted.
"What didja think," he asked.
"That he was going to ask us for tea?"
Astaroth sighed.
"Children should be seen, not heard," he said.
"Especially when they are going to die," and he raised his scythe and charged.
"Oh crud," Kasai whimpered, and they all ran like crazy with Astaroth giggling like a mental person.
