CHAPTER START:
Past memories;
A new shadow is born….
…..
"Heba, you have to listen very closely to what I'm about to say, son," the man laid a tanned hand on his sons shoulder. He looked at him with tired eyes. Amethyst eyes where wide with a childlike curiosity, Heba didn't understand. The man brushed his other hand through his black violet tinted hair as he let out a stressed sigh.
"Darius," a woman stepped into the child's view, "they are almost here we have go!" she said frantically.
"Heba go hide," Darius said. "If they don't find you, survive. Survive and go back to Egypt, we have family there." The woman tugs at the mans arm. Darius stands up and puts his hand over the woman's. "I'm coming dear, be patient."
"D-daddy," he is hushed by his father.
"Don't ever let them catch you Heba," the man was pulled away by the woman leaving a crying Heba in his wake.
A few moments after the two adults had left the room, a woman's scream was heard then Heba heard his father yell 'no'. He heard blades clashes and forced grunts, they were fighting. Heba looked down to his feet knowing that his father had told him stay but…, his feet moved without warning heading towards the door, he couldn't just stay there!
Once he reached the doorway he was grabbed by his hair and yanked up, his feet leaving the ground.
"Heba!" he heard his father call. Heba started to cry as he saw his father stand up only to immediately be pushed harshly back to the ground.
"Oh… what's this," the guard beside his father said. "The rats had a baby mouse," the man turns his sadistic grin to Heba, "how interesting." The man stabs his father in the back before cutting off his head. As his father's body falls limply to the ground he man approaches the newly orphaned boy.
Blue-grey eyes meet the small childs amethyst. He stares at him for a moment. "Yes, very interesting indeed."
"What's going on here!" another guard came into the scene. "Alister, what have you done!" the man yelled. Alister turned his head to look at the older guard giving him a bored look.
"Lord-," the guard holding Heba started but was silenced by a hand being held up.
"I'll deal this one Rafael," Alister says walking towards the other guard slowly drawing his sword.
"You will be trialed severely for this Alister, they were Egyptian administers-," the man stopped talking when he saw the blade being raised towards him. "Ali-," he wasn't able to finish as the sword swung down silencing him, forever.
Rafael walked over to Alister as he cleaned his sword of blood, "What do you think we should do with this," he says holding up the sniffling ball that was Heba. He had brought his knees to his chest trying to disappear with no avail.
Alister just stared at the kid, "give him to Zorc-I mean Dartz," he said shrugging his shoulders.
Rafael scoffed at him, "that's so like you."
"What," Alister bit back.
"Nothing," Rafael walked past him. Heba was shaking as the man tied his wrist together with rope then proceed to drag the small child towards the towering Coral Palace's Gates.
…..
10 years later….
"Ah!," Heba woke with a jump. He panted abit before wiping the thin layer of sweat off his forehead. He hated that dream. It was his only memory left that he had of his parents. He wanted to cry. To have the very last memory, the only memory, that he had of his parents. Had to be the one that remind him of how he was too weak, too weak to save his parents….
Heba held himself in a cold embrace, he wanted to forget. He wanted to forget how weak he was.
"Hey kid," a voice says right beside him.
"Ah!" Heba falls off his bed. A burst of laughter erupts from the other side of his bed. "Alister!" Heba yells but is silenced by a hand covering his mouth.
"You want me to kill you," Alister says glaring him. Heba froze, ten years had done nothing to fade the image of this man killing his parents from his mind.
"Zo-Dartz wants to see you," he said turning away from the fourteen year-old Heba. This information made Heba's blood run cold and his heart almost stop.
"M-me," he squeaked to scared to be embarrassed by his feminine voice.
"Did I st-st-stuttered," Alister said grabbing his wrist and yanking him across the bed. Heba landed hard on his face and hands on the other side of the bed. "Get moving," Alister said pushing him forward with his foot.
Heba whimpered as he stood up, he looked toward the small window the artificial sun was barely peeking over the horizon. What could the young prince want with him? Heba sighed to himself, things couldn't get any worse than this.
Needless to say, he was wrong, very wrong indeed.
Heba's eyes widened once he and Alister had made it to the outside courtyard. The scene in front of him made him take a step back. If Alister hadn't been standing behind him he would have run back to his room and locked the door.
In front of him was a massacre…
"No…" Heba whispered backing up. Alister just rolled his eyes to the side kicking Heba with his left foot.
"Get on with it!" he hissed. Heba had stumbled forward. If it had just been simply step foward the young teenager would have been just fine. Unfortunatly for him, he landed in a puddle of blood.
(A/N: I downed the detail cause I rated this teen if you guys want me to gore it back up just let me know ok.)
Heba slowly looked down at his hands, they were stained with blood. An image of his parents bodies flashed in his mind. He screamed.
Alister was beyond annoyed at this point. It wasn't like kid hadn't seen blood before. Alister let his eyes look over the garden. He smirked evilly. He thought that it looked better this way. The lilies now reflected their true meaning, to him at least.
Heba's eyes slowly looked up and drifted over towards the once beautiful gardens. The lilies covered in blood; the white lilies that represented modestly and virginity were stained with blood. A small fly made it's way into Heba's view. He subconsciously followed it with his eyes.
Until he came to grey hand...
He shifted his gaze down his eyes widening at the anemone flower that had been crushed by the dead weight of the lifeless hand. The small faded hope that Heba had of ever beginning released from this had been crushed.
Alister yanked him to his feet, and scoffed out. "I don't know what he sees in you." The comment feel on death ears as Heba was too engrossed with the scene. The once beautiful garden was covered in the madness of all the mayhem around him.
He looked over the alternation trees; sycamores, palms, and grenadiers, It looked like a full on war had happened, but wouldn't he have heard that? Heba eyes ghosted over the small pond that was in the middle of the garden. He had to look away, the fishes bodies were floating on the top of the red water, along with few human bodies.
Alister gave him another push causing Heba to look back at the man. "What has he done?" the question simply hung in the air. Alisters frown slowly crept into a sly smirk. A shiver crawled up his back.
Truth was, the younger prince had gone mad in the resent years, he did well to hide it from his family and so-called friends. Heba clutched the hem of his shenyti, did he even want to know the answer?
"You knew this was going to happen," Alister stated coldly.
"I didn't," Heba protested.
"You did," he shot back. He ghosted his hands over Heba's shoulders. "But you were too scared to tell anyone." Heba closed his eyes shaking his head. "Oh, but you were," Alister was mocking him now. "Which is why you were given 'that' position. You could be trusted with our secret-"
"Stop it!" Heba turned to face Alister his eyes shined with unshed tears. Heba words caught in his throat. What could he say, the truth was already staring him in the face. Alister howled with laughter.
"Don't act as if it's all you fault kid, you wouldn't have been able to stop a thing. You're too weak to do anything." Alister turned Heba around and 'guided' him through the rest of the medium sized garden.
Their feet made a wet tapping noise as they walked through the deathly quiet corridors. Heba seemed completely unattached to the world around him. Everything was his fault, if only he wasn't so scared maybe he could have…
Who was he kidding, he wouldn't have been able to do anything….
They were now passing the kitchen, Heba's entire body froze. He turned to the ajar door with wide horror filled eyes. No…
He broke from Alisters grasp gaining a hiss of protest from the redhead. Heba pushed the door open the tears building up again. They wouldn't be, they couldn't be! Heba saw them.
He ran from the doorway just as Alister was about to grab him again. Alister cursed as he just missed the boys hair.
Heba fell to his knees as he came to his friends sides. There they were Ryou and Jono a circle of blood traced both of their still bodies. Heba's tears finally fell. These were his only two friends here, and now they were gone.
Heba's body shook as he reached a shaky hand towards Ryous pale face. There were no wounds at least not visibly.
"You little-," Alister started to pick Heba up.
"NO!" an electric energy went through Alisters arm and he instinctively let go of Heba. His staring wide-eyed at the boy; who was now crying over this dead body of his friend. Alister looked down at his arm and gasped.
It was black, and was starting to lose it's human form. Alister cursed again hiding his hand behind his back. Maybe there was more to this kid than he actually knew.
"Ryou…Jono…." Heba sobbed out. He was crying so hard, his parents, his freedom, and now his friends were gone. This wasn't fair, life wasn't fair. Heba didn't notice but his body started to glow. Alister took a step back as a small purple colored shield seemed to appear around Heba and a few of the bodies.
It hurt…Heba grabbed his chest… it was burning. Burning with a desire, a desire for life, the life of his friends.
The seeming shield around Heba unfolded around him like a blooming flower. Alisters jaw dropped, though Heba would never know this. The room seemed to light up like it was day causing Alister to hiss, it burned, the light burned. He had to leave the room.
Outside of the room Alister saw large swirls of magic exiting the kitchen doors. The magical ribbons were a light magenta color showing the color of the users soul. This was Heba's soul, what was he?
"Alister…" a dominate voice echoed down the hall.
"Master," Alister said softly, fear on the edge of his voice. He quickly bowed down in a frog position not daring to look at the man, his master, in the eye. For he was just a shadow, the shadow of a former man.
The shadows moved and hissed around him. They tried to approach the room that Heba was in. When the shadows reached out like tentacles toward the door they hissed then shriveled at the light. As they fell towards the floor they vanished.
The air thickened around Alister and his body unwillingly began to shake, his master was irritated. Then the tension lightens as the mass of shadows in front of him let out a wicked laughter.
"Excellent."
Alister felt the warmth of the light magic slowly start to fade from his back. He looked back towards the doors not moving from his bowing position. Once the light fully faded Alister started to sit up.
"No," the voice hissed. Alister immediately returned to a full bow. "I will handle this myself." He felt a presence moved past him. No sound, there were no footsteps not even a light breeze passed by the bowing shadow, only a deathly silence. Alister felt 'him' enter the room.
Once he felt it was safe he sat up on his knees looking back at the doors that were now closed. Alister eyes grew larger in both fear and amazement. His power was truly terrifying.
"Let's go," Alister's head snapped towards the new voice. He looked up at his penitentiary mate. Rafael's purple eyes locked with the youngest member of their group with a steel like indifference. A shorter man stepped up beside him.
"Come on, kid, the boss is busy and we have to clean this mess up for Master Zorc so he can fulfill that winey princes wish." Blue eyes glared into Alister's blue-grey eyes. Valon scratched his brown hair. "How do humans deal with his 'hair' is all sweaty and itchy!"
"Don't complain," Rafael droned. "Let's continue," Rafael turned and left. Valon and Alister quickly followed behind the eldest of the group.
…..
Meanwhile….
Heba's body laid motionless over Ryou's. The mass of shadows shifted around the room. With a swish a vortex like wind formed right beside the two unconscious boys. The shadow shifted and solidified into a human from.
Red eyes glowed as the mans long black hair floated around him defying all gravity. The shadows shaded into dark red robes lined in gold. He smirked and put a hand on his hip.
"Very interesting…" he purred looking down at the boy. He just might get something more out of this little deal than he thought. His skin turned from the black shadows that he was created from to pale white shade.
He bent down to reach out to the boy, when he stirred. The magic shifted in the air and the man let out a hiss. This boy was dangerous. He frowned backing away for the moment. He looked towards the white haired one and his eyes widened, then the blond one too!
It was impossible, his eyes quickly flicked between to the two. The spell that he cast should have killed everyone, except for his shadow minions. But all of these boys were still very much alive. He backed up some more as Heba stirred again.
Heba sat up, looking like he was in a daze. The shadow mans eyes changed from a red to a snake like yellow, showing that he was now calmer. Heba looked like he was glowing, light magic surrounded him, it looked like a chrysanthemum in full bloom, light magenta colored magical ribbons flowed around him looking like sea currents circling Heba small body.
"Eternal life…" he murmured approaching him again. Heba turned to look at him. He didn't speak. "My name is Zorc," he was not introducing himself he was announcing himself. Heba tilted his head to the side. Zorc circled the boy.
Heba followed him with his amethyst eyes. They were shining brightly but were completely void of his spirit. If he had bothered to look closer he would have seen the dark blue behind those amethyst eyes.
"I see," Zorc stops on the other side of him. "You've just now awakened," tilting his head to side, as if he inspecting him. Heba mechanically looked over to the window then down to Ryou's now living body. "Your abilities, that is…"
Heba turns back to Zorc as said man approaches him. Heba draws back alittle. But Zorc harshly cups his face, forcing him to look into his eyes. "But what you are, is still a mystery to me," he smirks, "for now." The smaller male shivered, which gave Zorc a form of satisfaction.
However…
The light and its purity annoyed Zorc greatly, he was far too pretty. He smirked showing his fanged teeth. He would change that. "You've survived my dark magic and you've managed to bring back the dead," he tilted Heba's head up. "You cannot beat me, and you know it," a cruel amusement flashed in his eyes.
He slowly turns to Ryou, reaching out his other hand. Heba's body went frigid, his eyes enlarged and acted like he was about to speak, but never did.
"Why so silent?" He grasped Ryou's throat just barely constricting his breathing, Heba's heart speed up. Zorc scoffed in amusement and released him. "I'll make this easy for you," he ghosts his lips over Heba's. "Do as say, when the time comes, and I will let you little friends live. You have a great deal of magic. I could sense you once you repealed my spell. That's why I had my shadow come and collect you…" he leaned even closer to Heba's lips but passed them to his ear and he whispered, "I'll give you everything that you've ever wanted," he smirked, at the hope that bleed into Heba's eyes. "You'll have a home. A family that loves you, you'll have a good life a fair life. Isn't that what you've always wanted?"
Heba slowly nodded his head still not speaking.
"Good," Zorc leaned into seal the magical contract that he had just constructed through their words. Je captured Heba's lips at first softly becoming rougher and rougher by the second. The room vibrated and pulsed with light magic.
"No!" a female voice hauntingly echoed, it edged on almost demonic the way it had a screeching undertone. The contract was shattered and Zorc cursed.
"Wha-what," Heba was now back to normal as he looked around the room frantically. His eyes landed on Zorc. The shadow saw nothing but a raw fear in Hebas eyes.
He cackled loudly. "Like what I've done to the place?"
Heba frantically goes to Ryou, still thinking that he was dead. "You killed them!" he screamed as tears ran down his face. "Who are you-," Heba was shocked at how loud and strong his voice was but that's not what stopped him talking.
When he looked over the man his hair floated wildly around him also he had no feet his robes simply faded into a black mass of shadows. Hebas' entire form started to shake. "What are you?" he asked quietly.
Zorc bared his fangs again, as shadows slowly seeped out from under his 'robes'. Heba backed away from them but they quickly latched onto his ankles pulling him towards Zorc. "Let's finish are little deal shall we."
Heba screamed.
"Allow me to introduce myself again, I am The Shadow Master; Lord Zorc Necromancies." His face was the same but around it a transparent image of four red glowing eyes with monsterous looking face, started to warp around the mans image.
Heba tried to kick his feet but the shadows only tighten then latched onto his wrists next. Once he was dragged to Zorc's feet the shadows lifted him up, his wrist were tied together above his head while his feet were now tied together too. Heba struggled but to no avail.
"I am your new king boy," Zorc cupped his face again. "You will serve and do exactly as my vessel says, and you only then shall you be spared understand!" Heba whimpered under his icy touch.
For some reason Heba could feel the power flowing through this man, not to mention the red aura that he possessed, the red ribbons that surrounded him could only be described as magic. Heba had never noticed these before. What was going on!
He felt his body grow warmer and a different colored ribbon floated in front of his face, it was a light magenta color, the Zorc's face twisted in anger.
"You dare defy me," he tossed Heba back into far wall. He let out a pained filled cry as he fell to the floor landing on his side. Zorc appeared beside him in a flash. "You're no match for me," he reached out towards Heba…
…..
Present day….
"Ahhh!" Heba woke up screaming. He panted harshly, as a thick layer of sweat covered him.
"We meet again, my innocent," a dark voice says towards his left. He knew that voice, he slowly turned his head. What he saw made his body shake.
He had forgotten, he wanted to forget, and someone helped him to forget the man, this monster.
The shadowed figured smirked baring his fangs, "I see that your memories have resurfaced," the shadowed man chuckled his yellow eyes pierced Heba's amethyst.
"Z-Zorc," his voice was hoarse. The last thing Heba remember was meeting the real crown prince of Atlantis, then something about…a charm.
Xerxes! Where was his son! Heba heartbeat was frantic but he couldn't bring his body to move.
"Excellent," Zorc pushed himself up out of the chair he was sitting in. "Now then if you remember who I am, you remember the deal we made aswell, correct?" Zorc ghosted over towards the bed. Heba made a move to get up but in a flash Zorc was on him pinning his arms above his head.
Heba let out a strained cry at the harsh movement, he struggled but only lightly, he didn't feel like ensuing Zorc's wrath a second time.
"Listen well my pet," Zorc got really close to Hebas face, his snake like tongue slipped between his lips to give Heba's left cheek a sensual lick. Heba greeted his teeth as his body shivered at the touch. "Things are about change, your pathetic human race is about vanish," the room grew darker and colder. "But you my pet will be an exception." Zorc put his lips on the pulse point on Heba's neck.
The boys skin grew hotter and Zorc smirked against his skin. "Then we will both have what we've always wanted."
Heba shook his head fanatically. "You, you tricked me!" he wailed. "You took my words and twisted them, my mind you made think things-," Zorc's laugh cut him off.
"You didn't need any influence from me, none of you pathetic humans ever did," Zorc's hand turned black and turned into rope, it snaked out and tied itself to the bed. Zorc then pulled his hand out of the rope leaving Heba alone on the bed. "I only ever made you deepest darkest wishes come true…what you truly wanted hidden in depths of you own twisted minds."
A vortex of darkness appear beside Zorc and Valon stepped through the darkness of the black and purple swirls of the vortex. Heba's eyes widened at what Valon held in his hands.
"Barely had anything left," he says handed it to Zorc.
He smirked cruelly as he petted the transparent teal hair. He was holding Dartz, well, fragment of Dartz.
He no longer had a body, just a transparent head was left, and only half at that. His face was turned away from Heba so he couldn't see the expression that he had. It was probably for the best though.
"This will do," he moves away from what's left of Dartz and the transparent half-head floats in place. Zorc turns to Heba giving him and insane look. "Watch this…" he lifts his hand up.
The shadows jump out of every corner of the room consuming what was left of Dartz. Heba held his breath, involuntarily.
The shadows solidified into an orb then it started to grow. It started out star shaped; the bottom points stretched out to reach the floor while the two on either side stretched out as well. The top point blotted turning into a circle. Feet and hands sprouted from the four points while the top grew hair.
Cloths started to pull from around the body at the torso became long and leans. The head was formed and eyelashes could be seen. This…this thing, open its eyes as its mouth tore open with demonic stretch.
Heba winced squeezing his eyes shut from the pain, since his hands were tied he could not cover his ears. When he opened them again the creature was gone, or so he thought. He heard heavy panted, and it sounded like it was coming from the floor.
Heba strained his neck to see over his feet when that didn't work he twisted his body to look over the side of the bed. His eyes enlarged, Dartz was panting on the floor at Zorc's feet.
"Welcome back, I trust that your visit to the shadow realm was a pleasant one," Zorc mocked down to the Atlantian King.
Dartz, still panting, glared up at the shadow demon. "You traitor!" He lunged for Zorc but was thrown back into the wall by an invisible force.
Zorc cruelly smirked. "Cheeky, as always," a walks over to the struggling Dartz. "However, this time 'My King' the tables are turned." Dartz struggled against the invisible chains that held him against the wall as Zorc came closer to him.
Dartz glared into his eyes again. Zorc's smirk turns demonic, he snaps his fingers and Dartz's body falls to the floor and a bowing position. Zorc places his foot onto of his head pushing him further down. "I am your King now. My shadow…."
"Never."
"Oh but it's true, just look," Zorc levitates Dartz's body off the ground. "This body I have given you, is made from my own shadows, you are now a part of me." Zorc circles Dartz. "I control your entire existence." Dartz's body began to shake. "You are now my shadow," Zorc whispers in his ear.
"Bastard," Dartz spits. "You take my body, my kingdom, and now you can't let my soul rest in peace!"
Zorc howls with laughter, "Do you hate it?" He circles Dartz some more. "Angry," he mocks. Dartz glowers at him, Zorc looks absolutely elated at these events. He cups Dartz face now, "I wonder how you are going to react to this."
He turns Dartz to look at Heba tied to the bed. "Heba!" He snaps his head back to Zorc. "You bastard! Ah!" Dartz is slammed against the wall again and he crumbles to the ground.
"SILENCE!" Zorc's eyes glowed an exuberant red showing his fury. "You obey me now," Dartz's arm started to move on its twisting painfully behind his back. He let out a pained scream. "We're going to play this game alittle differently now. RAFAEL!"
Said man appeared out of the darkness.
"Are they here yet?"
"They are dropping anchor as we speak," he bowed to his master.
"Excellent," Zorc walked over to Heba grabbing his forearm. The ropes disappear as he was yanked off the bed and to his feet. Heba struggled but couldn't seem to find his voice. This man, this demon truly terrified him. Zorc pulls Heba towards the doors as shadows engulf them. Alister steps out of the shadows to join his shadow brethren.
"It's time to return to Atlantis."
