Two Children of Prophecy
Chapter Eight: Time is Passing
Two Years Later (Sixteen Years-Old)
Dante's new favourite pass time at night was the exploration of the Underworld, he had access to a lot of different areas that the Charmed Ones couldn't as they would be sensed almost immediately, he found out that the Underworld was far bigger than the Charmed ones knew, there was a reason it was named after Hell, it went so far-down that the little known Larva-Demons roamed, almost three thousand of them owned the lowest levels, and only ten of them powerful enough to actually go to the upper levels as they needed the heat to live, there was whole villages of Soul and Lazarus Demons, there was under-ground lakes of boiling liquid were Water Demons ruled, it was a lot bigger than he thought but then again it did take up most of the Earths Crust, there was only a few splits in the Underworld they were the; USA, Australia, Europe, Asia and the North and South Poles all had breaks in-between them.
He wasn't strong enough to hold himself out of phase while Shimmering to see the Larva-Demons hide away on there upper levels never mind the lower levels but his exploration led him to find three species of Demons not in the Book of Shadows already, the Leviathans of the South Pole, beings made of pure ice, that were alive only on the most basic of levels and only had a small Demonic Power to meld with Natural Ice, they lived in the very deep ice Shelves and ate Whales to survive, the second was a Japanese Demon, it was a creature much like a small cat, only it was blood red fur and several tails, it was able to hypnotise Women to allow them to take her memories and form too spend ten days as said Women to mate, it was literally an all female race that while Demonic did nothing else.
And the most dangerous he had found was in Hawaii it created small geysers to attract people and then explode into a giant boiling spurt that would melt and eat it's victims before disappearing into the fringes of the US's Underworld, it was a demon that was alive to feed other demon's it's cargo, it was a disgusting process but it was also something that wouldn't be known as these creatures never attacked witches directly, so there wasn't any potion or spell known to vanquish these demon's, it was a part of Demonic life that non-Demon's didn't know about and he would put it in the Halliwell Book of Shadows… as soon as he couldn't be grounded for going to the Underworld of course.

Dante appeared in his room, and yawned he had spent the night In his favourite Bar, Demon Wars it was the former bar called Witch Wars before the Charmed Ones had purged there business, so they reinvented themselves as the Demon Wars a big cage fight with Powers and abilities, the only thing disallowed was Shimmering, Blinking, Element Travelling and Dark Orbing, it was Demon's pitted against each other to Death, the prize was Powers, something that all Demons wanted more of, it was really violent and was a hit with the Demonic population, they had to expand the place three times since he had started too go a year and a half ago.
He had even taken part in a couple of them, his high powered Energy Balls and crushing Telekinetic force destroyed his enemies, he had gained a couple of Powers, the main one was the Power of Farsight, it allowed him to disconnect his sight and link it to eyeballs of Demonic Energy he could send almost anywhere that doesn't have a really strong Demon or Witch with a strong ability in Sensing, the other two was a weak ability to connect to water and another one that blurred your Aura so anyone with the ability to sense you wasn't able to get a normal reading of your magic like they could before.
He walked to the door absently augmenting his glamour to cover the shadows over his eyes as he carelessly vaporized the wooden dummy, he groaned as he popped his shoulders, he Shimmered to the bottom step and walked into the kitchen and greeted everyone, only his mother and Leo weren't present, "Morning all," all he got from Wyatt was a grunt and a chirpy hello from Chris and Piper annoying Wyatt, as Paige absently waved as he looked at her though he frowned as her cheeks reddened slightly before she left for work in a hurry.
He sighed another day in school to look forward too, at least he only had the 12th grade next year then he could go to work or College, his mother wanted him to go to the latter of course, but he didn't know if he could get through another year at school without killing something there was a reason he competed in the Demon Cage fights, it was to stop himself from snapping and blowing the school up, part-demon or not, he couldn't completely stop Demonic urges.
He sighed again as he ate, he really needed to let some steam off he was starting to get worried the urges might start to get out of hand, it was only yesterday that he had a run in with a bastard in school, thankfully there was no-one around he had actually created a Energy Ball by accident, he had nearly tossed it at the fool, he might have to start becoming a regular at Demon Wars as he got older and his Powers matured he was starting to have control issues and it wasn't like he could go to a shrink, he'd probably fry the fools ass, he shook his head and muttered goodbye before Shimmering to his room for his school bag before Shimmering again this time to school.

Finally the adults were in bed Wyatt had Orbed out earlier no doubt with some skank, and he was on his way to pummel some Demons, he prepared his normal wooden stand-in and Orbed to a small cave that belonged to a rabid wolf demon, he created a Energy Ball on rephrasing and made sure it was visible, the last thing he needed was to get killed by a lowly Demon like that, once he was sure of his surroundings he Shimmered to the Bar, and made sure to enter the Tournament, it was upper Demon night and the there was a more powerful Power available on these nights, you had to kill all ten opponents and there powers would be collected on death and when there was an overall winner he or she could then pick one of the fallen demons powers, and you would gain the one on offer, it was a good setup for the Demons in charge because the rest of the powers at least after payment to the collectors he would be more powerful or it, tonight there was a Shax and Warlock Demon they had gained enough Power to be cocky enough to enter, it would be a challenge at least.
The setup tonight would be each challenger would face ten Demon's and the one's that managed to survive the battles out of the original Ten would face each other in a battle royal and the winner would get to choose there power of choice and the one on offer, which was the main power of a Shadow Demon, it allowed you to fill your aura with shadows allowing you to be cloaked in them, out of all the powers he had witnessed so far he had decided unless he saw a power that was particularly good he try and get the Shax Demons ability to travel in Wind and Storm, most Demons would go for their special form of Energy Blasts but a being with good telekinesis could block and even reflect the blasts away, so it wasn't all that good especially as he already had telekinesis.
The ability to turn his Physical-Body into air would be great as it would allow him a basic form of invisibility, that's why Shax Demons were assassin specialists, though the ability to create mini-tornados was an attractive ability.
He sighed it would start in a few minutes he was getting anxious to start he was really jumpy he wanted to kill some demons already, it was then he paled as heard a hushed whisper come across the room as it went silent, he groaned there was only one thing that could get so many Demons to be quite and that was the Source, he looked over and the former Warlock Zankou came in his black eyes scanning the room, "I would like a good show tonight… do not disappoint me," as Zankou sat in a upper demons box, the previous occupants bowing themselves out, there was excited chatter filling the room, thankfully his ability to seamlessly transform his face allowed him some anonymity.
"Drecelly, to your place," a large ogre like creature a Drone Demon the carvers of the Underworld, expanding it, they were fearsome creatures, with extreme strength and large hammer wielders, they had a few lower level powers, mainly stone manipulation, they were known to dig into lower chambers and raid the lower Demons and sell them to the Power Collectors for Powers to gain more strength, Drecelly was an opponent that would take a lot of hit's and Telekinesis would do little more than stun him, even then his mother and aunts might have a hard time with him, there wasn't a spell In the book for them as they never attacked or even went to the mortal realm and there was never a reason to make one they liked the dark tunnels too much, so they would be a good attack dogs, and that was a huge problem, if Zankou was taking an interest in the lesser known Demons and worked out with his brilliant intelligence that these kinds of Demons would be good against the Charmed Ones well that might just put his family in danger, he might have to add more to the book than he had expected.
Drecelly had obliterated his first two opponents, Demonic Slaves, basically ones that had pissed some one high up and were forced to fight for freedom, he had used his impressive strength to crush and eat there heads, disgusting Demons but it got the job done, Drecelly seemed to have problems with the next Demon it utilized speed and was too fast for the slower Demon, though it didn't seem to have any stronger attack abilities and was going to be pulverised soon, it was a minute later the Speed Demon was caught in the chest by a sneaky Hammer attack from the opposite direction and was hit before it could block, the next demon was a fellow Strength type but was quickly overwhelmed by the large Demon, the rest seemed to be beaten easier than the first, and Drecelly moved to the next round, Zankou also seemed to be enjoying the carnage as well.
The next two Demon's weren't too keen on getting in the cage by that time, either because Zankou was present or they never realised just how strong the opposition was he didn't know one last a minute and the other executed for trying to flee, then it was his turn, Zankou seemed interested in him, although there was a lot of Demons that looked Human most weren't, it was mainly Warlocks that were Human looking, as they started off a witches or magic users and then turned Demonic, he stood up and walked to the entrance idly listening to the commentators voice announcing him, "And next a previous battler, Baedon, winning three other fights before and his first time at a full out battle, he has showed a strong aptitude for Telekinesis, and use of the Energy Ball, and has won previously the ability to muddle his aura, to connect to water and the Strong Power of Farsight."
He wondered what possessed him to make the name Baedon up it just came to him a few years ago when he realised he couldn't use his real name, his head would be at Zankou feet faster then he could blink, he stepped into the cage and tried not to wince as the heavy wrought iron door closed with a clang, he rolled his shoulders and stared as the first demon materialized, a Plant Demon, not the most powerful but the best Poison makers outside the Darklighter guilds, and most could spit acid or venom he sighed as the tangle of vines decided to attack straight away, he banked to the left, and sent out a telekinetic blast followed by numerous Energy Balls.
This would be a tricky Demon he needed to find its central vine and destroy it, which would destroy the creature, every time he vaporized a vine it would got bloody hysterical and send out venom and acid in unpredictably directions, he growled as he dodged out the way of some boiling acid when he noticed something, every time it squirted acid it would push out small bit of vine from inside, whereas the venom came from the tips of normal vines, he smirked and got closer dodging venom, and 'There' he thought as he grabbed the vine with one hand pulled it further out and shoved with his other hand, a Energy Ball, a particularly powerful one, with a screech it dipersed in a violent spray of acid which he Shimmered out the way of, as he had killed it he could know Shimmer till the next Demon appeared, he watched as a quite ugly looking Collector Demon appeared it's hand flaring with dark orange light as it swept the area sucking up the powers of the destroyed Demon.
Dante looked around the room trying to see if anyone he knew was here he had a few 'Friends' as it were down here that knew him as Baedon, he saw a one a twitchy Demon named Xepilth a Wraith Demon that fed on the Necromantic Energies of the dead, he was a funny demon quite small for his species though, he had a fascination with Witches while not exactly healthy way, he meant no-one harm, he bowed submissively as he noticed Zankou's attention on him, he received a nod of the head and straightened as the next Demon appeared.
This one was easy a Heliopath Demon it was a non-corporal fire Demon, it would be easy to take down, he watched as it made the first move, a predictable flamethrower move, he flung a large blast of Telekinetic Energy as he concentrated on his Water Connection power and linked himself to the damp air around him and drawing it around the reforming Heliopath and forced it into a smaller shape lest it extinguish itself, then he hit it with a really overpowered Energy Ball ending the fight.
The Collector's hurried out to collect it's Power, Fire abilities were well sort after in the Underworld as Demon's loved using them, he waited and was surprised when a Larva Demon appeared, it was smaller than a full powered one should be there was a slight lull in the noise as people took in the sight that many had not witnessed before, even Zankou seemed surprised, and the owner was glowing with pride as Zankou complemented the Demon, he sighed and wondered how he would defeat the beast, it was partially Larva and Metal, but he had never had to fight one before, he gathered his wits and sent a powerful Telekinetic Ball, the modified type that used his Wiccan Mental Powers to control the Demonic ones.
It was a surprise to all the demons there as none had witnessed Telekinesis in such a raw energy state that was controlled before, the blast of kinetic force literally ripped the Demons right arm off, though he quickly stopped celebrating in his mind as he saw it reform almost immediately, he sighed 'looks like I'll be getting more info on Larva-Demons.

End of the Chapter: R&R
Xoxox
Sorry for the Cliffy but I feel like I was babbling a lot in this chapter so I decided to end it there and start on the next one tomorrow.
Xoxox
If any are wondering about the Telekinetic Ball, go on Google and find an image of the Film 'The Covenant' it's about four boys from Ipswich America that have magical abilities and were hunted down in the time of the Salem Witch hunts. It's a good movie but the fight at the end they are throwing around Telekinetic Balls of energy, that's what Dante is throwing around.
Xoxox
This was hard to write, I can't help but explain things and that may seem boring but I can't help it, Zankou as far as I'm aware is a really smart Warlock that gained lot's of Powerful Abilities till he reached Upper Level Demon status and in this he becomes the Source, a few months before Dante is born.
Xoxox
If there is anything you wish for me to explain just ask in a review and I'll send a reply or answer your questions at the end of the next Chapters.
If you were wondering about the quick updates it's because for some reason my mind is more focused then usual so I'm writing and posting as quick as I can before my muse disappears.

I would like to thank Zio Charmed for the Review although I only know basic very basic Spanish I could tell it was a good review.
