Chapter Three
Loud screams echoed the corridors. It had been several hours since Khael had taken the elixir Malfurion had given him. Furion sat beside the bed with his hands ontop of Khaels forhead/
"Hold on my friend" he said. "It will not be long now, just hold on…"
Khael turned towards him, grabbing his hand he said "I can hear them…I can hear them all inside my head. They are screaming, all they do is scream!"
"Resist it!" Furion ordered. "Do not be drawn in by their filth. Stay strong."
Khael rolled over once again, he let out another scream. Blood drizzled from his nose and ears. Within his head, everything Illidan every knew was being crammed in. This process however attracted lesser demons, Like sharks to blood they whispered into Khael's ears. They talked of torture and horrible fates that would soon become him, and they channelled their malevolent emotions into him.
"Resist!" Furion shouted once again.
Suddenly, Khael stopped screaming, His body relaxed and his breathing returned to normal.
He exhaled heavily, regaining his balance. "Is it...over?"
"You did it…." Furion said with a surprised tone.
"I don't feel any different" Khael exclaimed with a worried tone.
"Do not worry, everything will come to you in time." Furion said as he slowly wiped Khael's bloody face with a damp cloth. "Im afraid…it is not over…"
Khael's face sunk, and he slowed his breathing. "Do what must be done Furion, we will soon know if I am worthy."
Furion slowly stood. Khael gripped the sides of the bed in anticipation.
"Do it quickly…my friend." Khael mumbled.
Furion nodded. He reached for his back pocket and drew a magical blade. The dagger pulsed with energy and the room fell dark. In an instant Furion dug the tip of the dagger into the socket of Khael's left eye. Screaming once again filled the room. Furion put a knee down on his chest to keep him steady as he separated the eye, for the head. Quickly he moved onto the right eye. Once again Khael let out a scream of pain. Furion ran the dagger around the socket and lifted it back out.
"It is done." Furion sighed as he gasped for breath.
With his hands over his eyes, Khael lay silent and perfectly still.
"Thankyou…" he exclaimed "I know that must have been had for you".
Malfurion reached into his pocket and pulled out a blind fold. "Here" he put it into Khael's hand. "Put this on."
"I can…see" Khael said surprised. "Colours…shape…auras. It's amazing" he said moving his hands in front of his face.
"You will now be able to see demons and magical kind alike" Furion explained as he walked over to the bed. "There is still one more thing we must do, come." Furion gestured to the door and Khael quickly stood up, it did not take long for him to adapt to his new vision. Furion and Khael walked to the next room, where a large oak table sat. They both pulled up chairs opposite each other.
"Are you sure the ritual worked Furion? I do not feel any different or have a sudden urge to kill demons." Khael said with a worried tone in his voice.
"Just as I suspected" Furion mumbled.
"What is it Furion?"
"You must attune yourself, become one with the weapons of a Hunter. It will allow you to tap into the energys that now flow within you." Furion entered the cool, dark room. sitting in the corner was a large oak box. Furion reached down and opened it.
"Take these" he ordered, holding the box open infront of Khael. Two long, sleek glaives lay within. "I had these fashioned for you, they are weighted for you and you alone.
Khael reached into the oak box and took hold of the two long blades. "They are suprsingly light for their size" Khael exclaimed admiring the craftmanship.
"Yes, your greatest weapon is agility." Malfurion said nodding at him.
"Now begone. DO whatever it is you feel necasary for you can not return. You are marked and from here on be identified as a Demon Hunter by our people."
With a nod, Khael exited the room silently. He understood that he would not be able to return, there were greter things to worry about than his comfort.
