The Night Walker

Chapter 3 The Master's Return

             The Master's Return 

S felt cold, he felt pain, hate, lust, and every dark feeling in between, emanating from the lady in grey. She slides down the railing ever so elegantly, her silver hair flutters as she slides down. The lady in grey smiles at S, her smile holds a darker intent than just a normal smile. Something burns into his chest, spreading to his neck. S claws at his neck trying to get words out, his words come but the voice is not his.

"Help, anyone please, is that what you were trying to say, sorry just feel it for a lit bit longer."

S looked at Rex, Rex watched him and sat there cold and stone-faced. The Monster looked up staring her down, the fear he felt started coming from the lady herself and not from the others. The Monster's voice began speaking, S had no control over his words, the words were said in a deep dead voice.

Monster: "You dare hurt me, Worm."

The elegance in the lady's voice has disappeared, the Monster's voice had her taken aback.

Horrified woman: "I'm sorry master, it was the only way to bring you out."

She kneeled bowing her head, her hands trembled just from hearing his voice. The Monster was in control, the fire turned blue and a light in his skeleton eyesocket flickered blue.

Monster: "I do not care about your forgiveness, I only care that you follow my commands."

S's body grew to a size of a burly man, the armor grew with his body, the red pigment of his centurion armor faded to black. A black smoke emanated from the Monster while he kneeled. Metal spikes grew from the shoulders of the armor, the blue fire spread, burning away the human side of S. Fire poured out the other cheek constantly like waves from a river, the Monster's transformation was complete. He stands, his height towered all, the voice of a broken man shakes the bowing woman.

Monster holding a low frequency: "Servant, where are my other minions."

She flinched as he spoke, S could see she had bad experiences with people.

Woman: "They are all long dead, two heroes killed them all, they go by the name Draco and Zero."

The Monster's flame grew bright and wild, it frightened the lady to her very core. He power walked up to his stairs with his back facing her.

Monster: "And who are you and why have you summoned me."

She stayed quiet, he grew furious with her silence, storming towards her with a towering presence.

Monster raising his voice: "Why don't you answer!"

The lady ducks her head lower as she cowers in fear. She slowly looks up at him, she sees a skeleton that has blue flames erupting out of his cheeks.

Woman: "I-I am a dreg, a race that feeds on bad emotions, and I-I-I summoned you for I have heard tales of your great triumphs."

*Huff, he turns his back, thinking about what is next to come.

Monster holding superiorly over her: "I doubt you know what you are getting into summoning me. Fine, Dreg, you have bought yourself some time."

The Monster struts up the stairs: "Go find me some men."
