Chapter 6
I hid for a few minutes. My breathing was becoming hysterical now. I had to calm down. If I was to destroy the beast of many names I would have to focus and relax. My body was tensed. Using all the courage I had left I climbed out of the bush. I couldn't stop looking right to left. The demons had to have been summoned somehow. They only appear to serve a dark lord, but who? Suddenly the stars had lined up. The beast had summoned them.
"He must really want to kill me," I muttered to myself. I walked down the twisted pathway. The trees looked deader. The grass was yellow and the flowers were drooping to the ground with their pettles dancing and twirling to the ground. I could sense that there was evil to be found. I felt as if the trees had eyes of their own. I had never felt so intimidated. Every movement I made; it was sensed.

Before I entered the clearing I knelt to the ground. I took out my sword and gazed upon it. This was the object which would make me live if I had a chance to kill the beast. I stuttered to the end of the trail. There I saw a horrific sight.
The gate was rusty with points as sharp as daggers. No life except for the spiders cobwebs on the – about to collapse – windows. The house was made of wood which had lost its colour. The door had smashed glass on top of it and had crumbling paint. The slabs on the roof were falling off making it feel an eerie place. I walked up to the gate and pushed it open. Creak! It must have been a hundred years old. It had never been taken care of well. I just hoped the beast hadn't had heard that. The whole point of this was that I had the element of surprise.
I looked left to right checking if I was good to go. Suddenly a cloud – as big as a mountain – appeared in the sky. It had a skull of a psyko path with a dagger coming right out of its mouth. I felt really uncomfortable. Something was going wrong. Now the beast had the element of surprise and I was going to suffer…
