The Legend of Sliversbane

-Chapter 2-

March 1, 2157

Just before the hand slammed into the space the two were at, they both jumped to the sides, with their gems still in their hand. Decipher began to charge at the thing, his yellow gem now glowing. He threw the gem on the ground as he was going closer and closer to it. The gem broke, red mist engulfed the whole floor. It was burning everyone: including Decipher and Magnus. Decipher landed on the ground near it. He knew their was still some time before the demon could get his senses straight, so he threw another gem on the ground. Blue mist engulfed the spots were Decipher and Magnus were, cooling them down. The demon opened its eyes. He slammed the ground where Decipher was. Magnus threw a gem at him, and pink light emerged from beneath him, protecting him.

"My turn!" Decipher said to the demon.

He raised his hand, then after a few seconds dropped it, and bolts of fire began to rain down on it, amplified by the red mist. He drew out his book and began slamming it, with the bolts still raining down on him. He turned to look at Magnus. He was chanting. Excellent! He knew it would all be over soon.

It stopped raining. The pink light disappeared as well as the red and blue mist. Decipher didn't notice, so the demon slammed him to a wall. He just lay there. He couldn't move, the demon was walking towards it. He was afraid.

He closed his eyes and said to himself, "This is it. The end of my life. Goodbye Vermillion! Magnus! Constantine!"

The demon raised its hand, Constantine was held on its other hand, and watched in terror as his guildmate was about to die. The demon swung its hand towards Decipher, about to smash him, when it dropped dead. Constantine was released from its grip.

Decipher stopped shivering. He looked at the ground, there was light, a bright light. Above, he could see a faint image of an angel with a trident, and fiery red hair.

"Magnus! Thank you so much!" Decipher and Constantine said together.

"It's no prob!" He replied. Vermillion came out of hiding and hopped towards his master, Decipher. Constantine picked up the tablet he was carrying just a while ago, before the demon grabbed him.

"By the way….what IS that thing?" Magnus said as he touched the tablet and the engraving.

"….Decipher, can you understand this?"

"No. I've never seen any language like this before."

"I'll explain at the guildhouse. Not here. Look around you." Constantine told the two, butting in their discussion.

They did exactly what they were told, and they could see just what he meant.

"It's creepy here, I never noticed that before." Decipher said. Large sweat drops trickled down Magnus and Constantine's head.

The three went out of the clock tower and into Decipher's convertible-hover. He inserted the key, twisted it clockwise and it began hovering. Although the Bloody Rain HQ was just 5 minutes away, Decipher told them they should ride in his car as it might be towed away. He drove, and before they knew it, they were at the HQ.

"Ooookaayyy….." Magnus said to Decipher.

All of them entered the HQ. Many people were here. Knights, wizards, crusaders, and lots and LOTS of priests. It is, after all, an exorcism guild.

Constantine went up to his room and began broadcasting.

"May I have your attention please? Yes, thank you." He paused for a while, looking at the two.

"I have found the first piece of Sliversbane bu….." He paused as everyone was now talking to each other. He waited for them to stop.

"…..but with great difficulty, mind you. If it weren't for Magnus Exorcisma and his partner, Decipher Skyheart, I wouldn't be here anymore."

The two blushed. People outside the master's room peered into the glass and looked at them.

"So I now appoint these two to search for the other five pieces of Sliversbane. Let's give them a round of applause! "

Everyone in the guild clapped for them. Even Constantine. And everyone seemed to like them now more than ever.

"That will be all." Constantine closed the P.A. system, and handed them the slab.

"This is the first piece of Sliversbane, I give you my blessing as well as God's to find the other five. May you not be tempted by the false gods and goddesses, Odin, Freya, Thor, and the likes."

The crusader knelt before them, which was an unusual sight, and began praying in latin. Translated, he said:

Lord God Almighty,

Bless these two vanguards of the light

That they may slay the evil

And resurrect the good.

If they are ever to be tempted,

Protect them.

This I ask, in Your name.

Amen.

"If I may ask….what exactly is this….Sliversbane? If I am correct, it means "partial curse", is this correct?" Decipher asked Constantine after he made the sign of the cross.

"Yes, that is correct. Why don't I tell you the Legend of Sliversbane?"

"Sure!" After Decipher had said this, The three sat down on the floor, the doors locked, the windows closed. It was dark. The only light was the candle Decipher had lit.

"The Legend of Sliversbane. 3, 000 years ago……." Constantine began. Decipher started imagining every word.

April 30, 843 B.B. (before Balder)

Queen Apocrypha sent a crusader to investigate a gate in the western parts of Midgard. Rumors have been spreading that demons come out of that gate every full moon.

"Yes, m'lady." Grandus Crosse, a renowned crusader and anti-Odin, as he believed in the Christian faith, said to his queen as he knelt before her.

"All believers of Odin will perish before my sword." He said, as he went out to the stables to fetch his peco. He got on, and traveled to the west in search of this gate of demons.

"The rumors say that this was God's punishment against those who believed in the false gods. But why would God bring to the Midgardians such terror and chaos?" This question hovered above Grandus' head the whole journey which lasted 3 months. When he arrived at the gate, it was a full moon.

"Oh boy. If the rumors ARE true, then I'm in big trouble."

The door opened slightly as the light of the moon shone.

"..at least I know this much is true..." He said to himself as he drew his sword from its sheath.

"Face me you demons!"

The door was now completely open. Grandus couldn't see inside as it was pitch black even with the light of the moon shining directly at it. Suddenly, demons started coming out. The little devils now had wings. They came out so quickly that it startled Grandus and he fell to the ground. The devils came at him slashing his body, piercing through his thick armor.

"Arrgghhh!" A surge of pain entered Grandus' whole body.

He was covered in blood. Ravens started flying away from that area, and the devils started circling him in an orderly manner. Every now and then, one of them would fly at him and slash him. After a few slashes, his right arm literally fell down the ground. It was severed. Grandus was shocked at this sight. Tears trickled down his face, as the thought of never seeing his loved ones ever again ran across his mind. He would never see his beloved fiancé, the princess, princess Asanna, as well as the queen, his parents, siblings and friends. One of them went flying down at him, and Grandus didn't notice at all. It slashed his left eye, painting the whole eyeball red. The pupil and iris were no longer visible.

He was loosing blood fast, and now he was crying blood. Another one few down, this time slashing his stomach open. Blood gushed out accompanied by some food he had just ate. The whole spot he was in was now red.

"The rumors….they were true……" He whispered to himself as another one chopped of his right ear.

"I will not be killed by demons just standing here!" He shouted as he tried to stand up. Useless. He fell back immediately as his foot was just chopped off.

He drew out his sword and pointed it at his peco.

"I'm sorry, but this is for the salvation of the world." He slashed it. The demons smelled the food and flew towards it, all at the same time.

"God! If you love me so much, why do you do this to me?" and with that, he stabbed himself and holy light was emitted by his body. The light, in the shape of the cross pushed back the demons into the gate as it closed. Having a very small amount of time left before he died, he took a large stone and crafted it into a slab. He began writing the words "Inomini Patre, El Filye, Espiritu Sancti….Amen" over and over again, which meant "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen" (A/N: am I correct?). He brought it over to the door which was being forced open from the inside. It was as if God was on his side as he covered the moon, so that the gate won't open. As he placed the slab on the door, he began chanting in Latin.

"Inomini Patre, El Filye, Espiritu Sancti…..Amen" ( taken from Black testament by infinite circle as I don't know how to speak latin)

The door was now sealed. He removed the slab from the door and placed it on the ground.

"May no one ever find you, because I condemn you…Sliversbane! The key to the gate of demons, thou shalt never be found!" He slammed his sword into the stone and it split into six pieces, mysteriously, they were six PERFECT pieces. They flew off into different directions. He wrote a message on the ground.

"I will guard this gate forever even in death!" was the inscription.

"This is the end of my road. Goodbye." Grandus dropped dead.

-100 years later-

Grandus' body was found, as well as his message on the sands. Creepily, they were still there, so the archaeologists thought they were just a prank. The moment they thought that, the sky darkened, and a bolt of lightning fell down on the inscription, erasing it. The archaeologists were afraid, and brought the body to the Sanctuary in Prontera. Grandus was beatified and canonized on that same day, and proclaimed Saint Grandus Crosse……

"…the very first exorcist."

"Constantine, you have a great imagination!" Magnus said.

"Yeah, that was the best story I've ever heard!" Decipher added.

"That was no story. That is the real legend." Constantine checked the clock and looked out the window as he opened the blinds.

"It's getting late, you should head back now. Since you two are in this Sliversbane thing together, I suggest that Magnus should sleep in your house, Decipher."

"Yes of course! That would be no problem! Right Magnus?" Decipher turned and looked at him. He just smiled.

"Off with you then!"

They went put of the headquarters and into the car. Again, Decipher started the engine and the car started hovering. It was very dark now, so he opened his lights.

"It's quite chilly out tonight." Magnus said to Decipher.

"Yeahh….."

"Aren't you going to do anything about it? Like close the car?(A/N: the thing when you put the roof on the convertible, dunno what it's called, or is it just called closing the roof?)"

"No."

"Sigh…"

"Can we just go now?" Vermillion butted in.

They drove off, into Mt. Mjolnir. They could hardly see anything, and in more than one time, they almost bumped something. Something like large plants or trees.

Once again, Decipher saw the Geffen tower. They were near. He drove towards the landbridge that connected Geffen's island to the rest of Midgard. He drove towards his house at the lower-right corner and parked his car in the garage.

He looked at Magnus. He was asleep. He touched his shoulder then Magnus woke up instantly. The three went inside, Decipher went to the kitchen. Magnus and Vermillion were typical couch potatoes and just sat by the tv.

The aroma of Decipher's cooking filled the room. The two potatoes followed the smell and saw Decipher cooking a variety of delicious meals.

"Lasagna!" Vermillion said, drooling as he did.

"Fried rice, chicken and…and…GRAVY!" Magnus said, drooling as well.

Vermillion was about to steal some Lasagna, then Decipher slapped him with the spatula he was holding.

"No food until I am finished!"

"Awwww….." They both said.

"Sigh…..you know, you can help me out to make things faster!

"Anything for lasagna!" Vermillion said as he hopped towards the kitchen.

"….and gravy!" Magnus followed.

The moment they entered the room, they were bombarded with commands from Decipher.

"Magnus! Get the rice!"

"Vermillion! Rub my feet!"

"Magnus! Stir the sauce!"

"Vermillion! Massage my back!"

"Magnus!"

Magnus looked at him, hitting his hand repeatedly with the spatula.

"You don't seem to be doing anything."

Vermillion stopped massaging.

"And what does this have to do with cooking?" Vermillion said with a menacing tone. Something you don't hear every day.

They both approached him slowly and menacingly.

"Oh look at the time! We should eat now! I'm starving!" with that, they were mesmerized and floated towards the dining table, leaving Decipher to bring the food. Each time a plate filled with food was placed on the table, it was devoured by the two instantly after it was placed. When Decipher sat down the table, his companions were already upstairs, "sleeping".

"Sigh……" He went over to the fridge, thinking he would just forgive them, and went to look for something to eat, something like processed meat.

"Let's see…what is there to eat…..there's……APPLE JUICE? Isn't there anything else?"

At this point, Decipher was furious, and shouted, "Magnuuus! Vermillioooon!"
