10 Years Later

10 years have passed. In a small wooden house near a high hill, we can see a middle-aged woman with Chocolate-Brown hair, Ocean-blue eyes wearing a green dress and skirt with a white-apron around. She is wearing glasses and currently drying a few clothes out in the backyard. This is Victoria former Head-Maid of the Diamandis Family.

Victoria suddenly calls out "AKKAAAII! Would you please be a dear and take out the chopped woods to the market for selling?". From the room upstairs a Young man of 17 years wakes up groggily. He rubs his eyes and quickly goes to the bathroom to bathe. As he comes out he takes out a white shirt and brown jacket. He wears green pants and dries off his hair before running downstairs and picking up the box filled with wood that he chopped yesterday. This was Akai Diamandis of the Diamandis Family and youngest son to Rubidia Diamandis. Abandoned by his own family for being magicless the young man was taken in by his Aunty Vic as he calls her. Victoria left the Diamandis family when they ordered Akai's death for being magicless and took the baby with her. Rubidia showed pity and decided to leave Akai alone but not before warning them to never see her again.

Akai replies back to Victoria "Already on it Aunty Vic."

Victoria smiles and goes back to her work. We see Akai making his way to the nearby Village of Greenfall. The Village of Nature. A pretty fitting name considering nature had truly blessed this land. Comparing it to the 4 Kingdoms Greenfall was just a speck of dust but bustling with life. Akai hummed a tune as he walked to the village. When he entered the village Akai was soon greeted by the guards Richard and Steven.

Richard greeted Akai cheerfully "Yo Akai. Where ya going Kid?"

Akai smiles back and replies "Oh nothing much Richard just going to the market to sell some chopped wood."

Steven said "Kid you really work hard to make your ends meet. Take some advice and rest for some time boyo. How 'bout this? I'll do you a favour and do the selling for ya."

Akai replies "Thanks for the offer Steven but no need. Plus I have a lot of things to later back at home so yea."

Steven rolls his eyes and says "Whatever was trying to help. Good luck on your way kid."

Akai smiles and replies "Will do" and makes his way to the market. Akai was quite well known around Greenfall for being a helpful kid and generally liked by the population. Greenfall was a village of peace and there were no monsters around so everything was nice and quite. As Akai made his way to the market he was greeted by the village's mayor Reed Livingston.

Reed asks "Hello Akai. Going to sell wood?"

Akai replies "Yup!"

Reed smiles and says "Be careful been hearing a lot of thefts happening."

Akai says "Will do good luck on the paperwork." while chuckling.

Reed grumbles something about the evils of paperwork as Akai makes his way to the market. He then enters the shop for selling wood where it was run by a man named Ursa. He was a bulky man of about 6'7 and bald. He was currently working on making a wooden sculpture when he saw Akai and grunts "Well Akai it seems your here on time." He gets up and goes to the storage brings out a small bag of coins and places it on the table.

Ursa says "Here ya go kid." Akai picks up the bag and counts the coins as Ursa checks the wood and grumbles "I swear to God Akai it's like whenever you go and chop wood you get the highest quality ones. It's Madness!"

Akai laughs and says "Well I guess then God must be on my side."

Ursa laughs and remarks "Well I sure hope it stays that way cuz it makes mah business go good!" He pats Akai on the back. Linda his wife suddenly comes out surprised to see cheerfully says "Hello Akai. I hope your doing alright."

Akai replies "I'm doing great ."

Linda blushes and replies "Doh! Stop with the Miss. It makes me feel old."

Akai smiles and says "I just respect my elders ." Linda laughs and brings him in for a hug and says "Wait here." She goes inside and brings out a pumpkin pie and holds it out "Pls give this to Victoria and do say we should meet sometime". Akai accepts the gift and makes his merry way back when Ursa calls out.

Ursa soon brings out a sword and gives it to Akai who takes it confused and asks "Why are you giving me this Ursa?" Ursa grimly replies "Take it kid. Rumors have been going around a demon has been seen rampaging other villages. Every family right now has a weapon to protect themselves just in case. Your like a son to us kid. It would pain us to see you die have it for protection." Akai humbly thanks the big man before making his way back home. It was evening by then and as he made his way back he couldn't help but feel bothered by what Ursa said.

As Akai entered the house he saw Victoria knitting a sweater. Victoria noticed Akai and says "Oh! You made it back." She walks up to him and takes out the bag of coins and places it on the table and notices the sword and pumpkin pie. Victoria says "Linda that sneaky little woman. Always giving surprises. Well looks like we're some pie for tonight. Tho Akai why do you have sword?" She asks confused.

Akai tells what Ursa told him as Victoria looks worried "Oh dear that is bad... I sure hope things become alright."


At the night Akai was unable to sleep disturbed by Ursa's words. Akai was deep in thought 'Why can't I forget what he said?'. Eventually he closed his eyes and finally went to sleep. As he was sleeping he didn't notice the shadow watching over him in the window.

A few hours later a scream was heard. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!". Akai's eyes snapped awake. It was Victoria! He rushed downstairs to see the living room in a mess. Tables were overturned. Claw marks were visible on the walls. But Victoria was nowhere to be seen...Where was she?! Akai looked around the whole house shouting "AUNTY VIC!" but she was gone. But where?

Meanwhile with Victoria

Victoria was gagged, tied up, and put inside a sack carried away by the demon who was chuckling darkly "Your flesh will be a satisfying meal for me. Kekekeke!". Shivering she was terrified by glad Akai was safe. Looking at the demon he was about 7 feet tall a few inches taller than Ursa. He had blue-black horns protruding out of his head. A pitch-black face with a creepy smile showing white shiny pointed teeth. Ears shaped like an elf. A dark muscular body with a hole on the center. In the center of that hole was a glowing purple orb.

As the Spirit Demon was walking he sniffed the air feeling another persons aura behind and chuckled "Well well well. It seems the little one of yours is here to take you back."Panicking Victoria shuffled in the sack trying to warn Akai who was standing behind the demon fearlessly to leave and forget her.

Akai shouted, "GIVE AUNTY VIC BACK!"

The Spirit-Demon thought and replied "How about...No."

Akai roared and charged at the demon with the sword given to him by Ursa. The demon laughed before shouting "FOOL!"and punched Akai sending him flying. Victoria suddenly freed herself from the sack even though she was still tied up and tried to remove the gag on her mouth. The Demon then charged at Akai who grabbed the sword and dodged before stabbing the demons face who was largely unaffected.

Akai surprised to see the demon was unaffected was then sent flying by the demon who said "Fire Spell: Ignition" a C-Rank Fire Spell. Akai tried to get up but was unable to. The Demon slowly made his way to the boy. Victoria finally removed the gag and shouted "AKAI! STAB THE ORB". As Akai heard this he with all his might got up and thrust the sword into the Demons center who was shocked and coughed out black blood.

Enraged he shouted "I WON'T DIE LIKE THIS! NOOOOOO! IF I DIE I'LL TAKE YOU WITH ME! FIRE SPELL: BURNING FLESH!" As a last act of defiance, the demon shouts a last fire spell which then burns Akai who screams in pain"AHHHHHHHHHHH!". Victoria tears running down shouted "NOOOOOOOOOO!".

Soon Akai's burnt corpse fell down in pain as the demon turned to dust. Suddenly the villagers arrived with weapons to see Victoria safe. Linda soon caught up and rushed to Victoria freeing her. As soon as she was free she rushed to the corpse of Akai.

Victoria said "No...Why Little one?"tears running down her cheeks.

Linda looked at the corpse as tears ran down and she hugged her husband who hugged back with a guilty expression on his face and thought 'If only I were here sooner...'

Linda whimpered "That poor child..."

Richard and Steven noticed the burnt down corpse and broke down in tears "DAMN IT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE SOONER!"

Reed the mayor looked down the once known Akai and only thought one thing 'God pls give his soul rest...'

However what happened was not him being sent to heaven. Akai's soul when passing through heaven was suddenly put to an abrupt stop when a tremor had happened causing a shift in dimensions causing Akai to be sent to a strange dark temple...
