Shamwara (Part 6): Malum

Chapter 1

The ocean waves surf in and out, reaching the shore before receding. The birds chirp, wind blows, all is fine. It has been twenty years since the last major battle, with he God still trapped for all of eternity inside a dimensional prison, doomed for eternal pain and torture.

"Candy- can you hold this for a second?" Bater says, handing a phone to his now wife, Candy.

"Sure thing!" She says, meanwhile she types away at a computer along with Bater, also doing the same thing.

A child then slides along the floor of the room, running towards Bater. "Daddy! Look what I've found!" The girl says, holding up a small turtle towards Bater.

"That's great Marceline- but can you play somewhere else? Me and your mom are busy right now." Bater says, towards Marceline, his child. Marceline just walks away, a bit upset by this. She exits out the beach house they're in, and now comes floating down Shawa.

"Hey, come on don't be so sad! You caught something at least!" Shawa says.

Marceline sighs, a bit saddened by the response her parents gave her. "Come on now, you know they're doing this for you. They have to do this for their money- and uh.. things for other people. Look, your mom and dad just care about, so they need to do this to keep a roof over your head! Beside, you should understand now, you're eleven! The time I was your age, my only friend was a monkey still! Matter of fact, I didn't even meet anybody you know now. I only knew my Dad, and my best friend, Juggles. Not even my mom." Shawa says, Marceline's face then sparked of interest upon hearing this.

"Hey grandpa! Can you tell me a bit more about these stories? Stories about before?" Marceline says.

"Yeah, sure! It all began a long.. long time ago. Around 56 years ago, I was born. I was born to a man known as Shamwara, he was the man who taught me everything, until he died. But he taught me how to fight, clean myself, socialize, basic necessities. I was only left with a monkey, Juggles. He was my best friend, it was only till I was your age when I met Lyrina. Form there it all escalated quickly through, training alongside Chaber and Eli, with my master being Sabetour. There we learned the principles of fighting and how to fight good, unlocking our energy, it was amazing. We fought off these two bad guys, they were tough! But it was later on where we had to fight off even stronger enemies, like Kell, Ligo, the Beast, and the strongest.. The God. And now we're here. With you, safe and sound!" Shawa says.

"Woah.. that sounds cool, if only I'd have been there! I bet I could beat all those guys at an instant!" Marceline says.

"Well, with some good training then I believe you can! And right now, we're all stronger than ever. We could take down all our past enemies with one punch now, I'm sure of it. We just keep climbing, as part of Elite Humans we are the protectors of humanity, here to protect the one's who can't defend for even themselves." Shawa says.

"Hey! You two- I just got done cooking! Come inside and let's eat!" Candy yells out from the door of the beach house.

"Hear that? Let's go!" Shawa gets up, and they both go inside. Immediately heading to the table, with Rosalie and Bater already seated. The three then sit down, as the food was in front of them.

"Hey dad, what you say we have a challenge? Like old times!" Bater says.

"Oh yeah? You stand no chance against me! I have any decades of experience at this!" Shawa says.

"Well I was born talented, from a talented father at this, I bet I could eat faster than you!" Bater says.

"Get ready!" Marceline says. "Three!" Both Rosalie and Candy cover themselves and grab their food, going under the table. "Two!" Bater and Shawa grab their utensils. "One!" They brace themselves, clenching their utensils. "Go!" The two immediately dig in, chomping down through the food and eating plates in mere seconds. Food going everywhere around the house, both Rosalie and Candy hiding under the table for cover as Marceline keeps looking and bits of food get all over her face and clothes. Until finally, both put their first down and say at the same time.
