Mage's Log 2- The Embedment of Insanity
I awoke from my slumber and drew back the curtains from my window, wondering why it was so dark. Rain had decided to visit the town of Wichita, Kansas and the clouds completely blotted out any evidence of the sun's existence. I took a gander to the enormous amount of silence that hung in the house and pondered the cause of this lingering silence. Out of my wonder, I climbed onto the bed and peered outside of my window looking toward the street. There I see a white van with the logo of Tekiyana Asylum plastered on the side- and my mother being shoved into the doors of the vehicle. Alarmed, I rushed downstairs and burst out the front door crying, "Why? Why?"
My father replied with a gray tone, "Because Henri, she has abused you and your brothers for too long."
As the workers from the asylum were shoving mother into their van, she yelled, "Henri! You better pursue what I have taught you! Promise Me!"
"I…I promise, Mother." I muttered softly. I did not really want to continue studying magic, and I regret the fact that I ever did. For it seems that when one studies the Black Arts, half of that person's lifespan dissipates.
As the van drove away, I turned towards the house and saw Sparky standing at the living-room window with a twisted look of hatred drawn across his face. Then the sky grew blacker than black, and began to spit roars of thunder and bouts of lightning and rain. Dad rushed us into the house and gathered us three children for a little speech.
He said, "Kids, Mom had to be taken away for your safety."
"Good. Serves her right, that bitch." Sparky interrupted. In a demonic tone, he continued, "She'll pay fer what she done. Big time hehehe…"
I thought to myself, What in the world is possessing him to talk like this? And about Mom of all things… Then Dad said, "Sparky, it's not nice to talk about your mother like that."
He replied, "So what? She ain't here. She's 'n the Loony Bin now haha." He then winced, and put his hand to his head. "Ugh, my head hurts. I'm gonna go 't bed." Sparky then retired upstairs to his room while me, Dad and Jordan were alone in the dark of the storm.
And me being the curious kid I am, I went up to Sparky's room and found the door cracked open, with him standing in front of his bed talking…to…something.
"Yes…the deed shall be done Sire…" Sparky said in a perplexing monotone.
Then- I heard a strange demonic voice- this is what he must be talking to I thought.
"And with the two cleavers I bestowed upon you, your mother will be eradicated." The demonic voice said. I concluded that this being was from another universe interfering with ours somehow. How in the blazes is that possible? Universal travel across space and time? This guy must know some pretty powerful magic in order to do that.
Then I shifted my view to hopefully catch a glimpse of this demon. What I saw was a large accumulation of fire with a dastardly face in the middle of it. At the time it was unlike anything I've ever seen. But then it seemed that I strained myself a bit too much in order to see this demon so I stumbled into the door, exposing myself and my eavesdropping to Sparky and the creature.
"Sparky, I can explain," I try to assure.
"Henri, you…you're not supposed to be here." Sparky exclaimed in a worried yet rash voice.
As soon as those words flew off his lips, the demon hurled itself at me, and as the fire touched me, it burned me to the core of my soul. It's face became close to mine, and said, "I have unfinished business with you in the far future…when that time comes, you will be one of my children."
I was huddling myself against the wall as best I could and was processing what it said to me. One of his children? That's just crazy, I thought. But I should have heeded those words, for in my present life, I sit out here, in the demon's home universe, being constantly tormented by all its power.
