The goblins Shadow (volume 1 of The Demon's Journey)

Corruption

Questions bombarded Shadow as they walked towards the capital. "You aren't from this planet!" "What do you mean?" Shadow ignored this question and walked towards the leader knight.

"Take me to your leader immediately, I regained some of my memories when I saw his symbol, maybe he can help." Shadow didn't tell them that he saw the same man standing over a dead body. They might not trust him if he said that.

"Alright, time to answer your questions," Shadow said taking a deep breath. "When I arrived here, I had no memories of my past, or who I was."

"But since then I have gained some memories back recently. The memories I do have, show me that I'm not from this time period or even this world." Shadow finished. He remembered Sliding windows, electricity, and running water.

This place had none of these, he never realized this, but he seemed to be in more medieval times than anywhere else.

As they entered the capital Jack started to feel fear he knew he was still in Shadow form. But that didn't matter, he was still afraid.

Priestess walked up to him. "Shadow, are you alright?" Jack smiled at her. "We know each other now priestess, you can call me Jack."

"But to answer your question, no I'm not alright, I'm scared." "Why?" "The first time I remembered something here was when I saw that symbol. But what if I don't want to remember?"

"I'm sure it can't be anything that bad." Said Priestess. The party walked through a street to the main building, Jack sighed and continued walking.

Angel sat on his throne with his eyes closed. "He is coming." He said opening his eyes. "How do you know my lord?" Asked the sword maiden

"I can sense him, we must be prepared," Angel said rushing off to another room. Sword maiden sighed in relief, she didn't like their current leader, he was manipulative, abusive, and al around a bad person.

Sword maiden looked at the ground, she hoped this man could help them, whoever he was.

Jack walked through the temple getting more and more frustrated. His head hurt, and the demon side of him didn't like being here.

Each person they passed looked at him and scoffed, Jack turned towards them, quickly making them go back to praying.

As they neared a door the female knights held open the door for the party but shutting it when Jack tried walking through.

"Hey!" Said Jack trying to open the door, he felt a blade on the front of his neck. Jack turned towards the female knight.

"Do you really want to do this?" Jack said to the knight. "Nothing and I mean nothing is going to stop me from getting answers," Jack said morphing into Shadow he knocked the sword to the ground.

"Not even you." He said pointing at her. She didn't move, but Jack could sense her fear. Shadow felt a blade drive deep into his back. Jack fell forward and turned, and saw the people praying, each one was holding a dagger.

Shadow reached back and yanked the dagger out of his back. He tossed it to the ground. Now he was really angry. He opened his mouth and roared.

Jack was going to kill him. First, he disappears with his sister, then he declares him a villain. Jack was going to kill him. He saw as he approached the building, an army came to great him.
