The Glassy Sky

HUNTER

I am grabbed by that demon's clone with his tentacles made of shadow. I can't move a single muscle, for my movements are restricted. I can't even use my bloody weapon to stab him with this restriction. Suddenly he threw me from the street that looks like a boulevard. "Without water, you're nothing." Morpheus said. "Not if I can help it!" I replied. What he said is true, so I ran towards the opposite direction. I tried to run as quick as I can without thinking that he's there. Then he blasted fireballs towards my direction. I was able to evade one of it, but his aim is impeccable.

He was almost able to shoot me, luckily, I just found out that I'm good at evading his attacks. Just when I was about to turn left on an alley, two soldiers arrived with their guns pointed at me. I can't compete with that! I only have a trident and they have a gun that shoots actual bullets. I'm not sure if I already developed a phobia about bullets for, I've been shot by one in the real world. I know how it feels like being shot by one. So, I ran to the opposite direction going back to the boulevard, but then dozens of soldiers stepped in pointing their guns towards me. "Okay, I give up!" I said.

"You can run, but you can't hide." Morpheus said.

"I already know that, stupid! What do you want from me?"

"I'll use you as a bait so I can get the sword from your friend." A few seconds later, I saw that there are at least ten fire hydrants in every corner of this street. Then I heard a lightning struck something from a far, and it began to rain. I now have a source of water that I can use. I forced the water out as they are about to attack me, creating a huge tornado made out of water. Sucking everyone in it, and leaving none of them alive. I continue whirling the water, as fast as I can so that everyone will be soaked and unable to breathe. But then the Sirens stepped in and suspended my water tornado with just signaling the palm of their hands. Luckily, the soldiers are now unconscious so the only problem that I have is Morpheus and the Sirens. "I don't want to hurt all of you, Salem!" I said. "Step aside."

"I'm afraid, you have to kill us first before we move." Salem said. And they pointed their hands towards me, then water came out of it. I blocked all of their attacks, "Woah!" I said, "That's cool!" So, they can create water by just aiming their hands. I have to admit that Zack's creations are cool but dangerous. One of them tried to shoot water so pressurized that it destroyed buildings along with it.

Suddenly Morpheus shot me using his fire ball from my behind, and I was hurt badly that I can't move from where I'm kneeling. I guess this is the end of the line for me. At least I was able to say goodbye to Sarah for the last time. I closed my eyes as they are about to attack me, then suddenly, a small flaming tornado arrived in front of me, and it was Zack and Sam. Sam ran as fast as he can to electrocute the Sirens. And Zack used his sword to stab Morpheus's clone in the heart. Now that the clone is gone and the Sirens are all unconscious, I stood up even though I have a burn behind me. "Thank you for saving me." I said.

"Don't mention it." Zack said.

"You have a burn behind you." Sam said.

"Don't worry about me, let's find Toby next." I replied.

"Good idea!" Zack said, "Hold ontight." Sam and I hold tightly in Zack's shoulder. Then we're all sucked by aflaming tornado, leading us to Toby.
