Nick had knocked Star and Marco out with a nearby branch, he picked Star up and pulled a black demon like horn from his backpack and blew into it.

A high screech echoed through the forest, a black demon like figure scooped down from the sky.

"I see you have brought her" said the mysteries figure, "Yes a pure soul" said Nick.

"Good job" said the mysterious figure "now can you let them and her go" said Nick.

"hmm well a deal is a deal, come with me" said the mysterious figure "Thankyou Lord Diemer" said Nick.

"No thank you" said Lord Diemer, "Now my Power can Last FOREVER".

Marco ran through the forest, trying to find Star. Nick has done something to Star, Marco had never trusted that guy.

Marco ran and found Nick and this hooded figure talking while Star was unconscious on the floor.

"What is he up to?" thought Marco.

Marco followed Nick and the mysteries figure to the castle, he watched them walk inside, then followed.

The castle was huge, all the lights were green giving the castle a eery feeling. There was a massive moat around the castle, filled with dirty green water, piranhas and purple crocodiles.

Marco walked through the castle, which to his surprise was not very heavily guarded. There were statues everywhere and they were all of the same person,the hooded figure.

"This must be his castle" thought Marco.

Marco could hear laughter upstairs, he ran to the stairs and quietly walked up them, he followed the sound of laughter into a throne room.

Marco peered into the room. He could see, Nick carrying Star on his shoulder while the hooded figure walked to the throne.

Marco watched as the hooded figure,he chanted an ancient song, his eyes turned white and a sword, floated down from the ceiling.

"It's magnificent" said Nick, "It holds much power and destruction, but alas the power runs out quickly, it's power comes from soals and my spirits gladly collect them for me and in return I protect them and let them live in my realm, like blood to a heart" said the hooded figure.

"Lord Diemer I was wondering, if your spirits collect souls for your sword, why do you need a pure one like Stars" asked Nick.

"Because using normal souls only gives me temporary power and a pure one as rare as this girls will power my sword for ever" said Lord Diemer.

"Now can you give me my family back" asked Nick. "Well you see, I have gotten what I wanted so there is no need for you anymore" said Lord Diemer.

"What are you saying" said Nick.

"What I'm saying,is that you have brought me what I want and in return, I am going to lock you in the dungeon for eternity" said Lord Diemer.

"But you said" said Nick. "I do say a lot of things don't I, spirits lock him in the dungeon" said Lord Diemer.

"No, please all I wanted was my family back, please no…. NO" cried Nick as the spirits dragged him away.

"Now for the fun part" said Lord Diemer. He drawed his attention to Star lying on the floor.

Marco used this opportunity to sneak in. Marco quietly crept around the edge of the room, behind each of the long curtains. Until he was behind the throne. "

Ahaha, let us start the ancient ritual" said Lord Diemer.

"No, you are not getting her soul" yelled out Marco.

"Well well, look who it is, a little boy who thinks he can defeat me!" Lord Diemer walked to Marco, each of his steps shaking the castle.

Marco ran and found a sword on the floor and he came running towards Lord Diemer with a sword on his hand and he plunged it deep into Lord Diemers stomach.

"Hahaha" yelled Lord Diemer. "Swords cannot hurt me for I am not a person, I am Darkness".

Lord Diemer threw of his cloak, Marco got a good look at him. His body was like black smoke, always rippling and moving and his eyes were grey and when you looked into them you could see your worst fears.

"How are you going to destroy pure Darkness" said Lord Diemer.

Lord Diemer plunged himself at Marco, and Marco was barely able to dodge it.

Marco then ran and Lord Diemer chased him.

Marco had a plan he looked out a window and saw the sky turning pink and orange. While Lord Diemer was getting the sword out of him, Marco ran to the altar and tried to wake up Star.

"We're did you go little boy, I'm going to rip you to pieces" Lord Diemers voice was full of madness.

"I wonder how long he has been alone for" thought Marco.

Marco finally woke up Star. He covered her mouth and whispered to her, " don't worry I'm here to help you, just get out of the castle"

Star got up and dashed to the outside of the castle. She had no idea where she was or what Marco was doing here.

She could Lord Diemers laughter then she saw Marco dashing out of the castle.
