SUPERNATURAL

Evil Soul

Zeke.

I awake in front of a great temple. From the pictures they've shown us in history class I can tell that I'm in Brahmaputra, the spiritual peak of the universe.

This is not a dream, I'm in spirit.

The temple rises about a hundred metres above ground and radiates an aura of nature and peace. As I reach the entrance of the temple, I perceive an aroma of wild flowers and roses. A voice beckons to me in my head, "Ezekiel, you have been chosen by the Lord of creation and magic, Brahma. Enter the temple and await further instruction."

Creepy.

Before I reach the massive double doors, they swing open automatically, like I'm in some horror movie. The temple is by far more impressive on the inside. There is a large court yard surrounded by pillars of gold and cherubim and centred by a thirty foot tall statue of Brahma. He has four identical heads, each with a crown of its own, and four arms. he is bare chested, wearing nothing but a silk scarf on his upper body and is mounted on his sacred animal.

A goose.

To my surprise the humanoid mounted on the goose rises.

So it wasn't a statue.

He approaches me slowly and deliberately like a predator that knows his prey is trapped. Suddenly a whole opens in the air and a humanoid with bulging biceps and a traditional samurai armour steps through. He is also thirty feet tall, but unlike Brahma he radiates an aura of pure malice and undiluted hatred.

"Vrtra, how nice of you to drop by. I was wondering when next I'd defeat you." Brahma says whilst cracking his knuckles.

"I fear things will be different this time."

I sit down, a safe distance away preparing for a major grudge match. Brahma seems to have forgotten all about me.

If only I had some sort of spirit popcorn.

The second giant dude, I'm guessing Vrtra, goes for a punch and connects one of Brahma's various chins. Brahma stands his ground an attacks his foe with his four fists in quick succession but Vrtra is lightning quick and dodges two fists while parrying the other two. He then kicks Brahma's stomach. Brahma buckles and falls to his knees. He tries to make a quick recovery but Vrtra punches the throats of his two central heads and then Brahma passes out.

So gods can faint, huh?

Vrtra then quickly grabs me and jumps back through the hole with me draped over his shoulder. The hole leads us to a formless dimension that is completely dark excepting the faint, eerie glow of Vrtra's face. He sets me down on the flour and begins an ancient Hindi chant. My heart is beating so quickly it could leap right out of my mouth. The mark on my neck begins to burn. Like seriously, it was on fire. He stops the chant long enough to say, "You will now be one with my evil soul." He brandishes a hunting knife and cuts my stomach open. He then slices his palm and his blood, silver in colour drips lazily out. He presses his palm on my open wound then he utters the final incantations. After that everything is fuzzy.

I wake up with a start and quickly realise that I'm back in my room.

What a weird dream.

That was not a dream. We are now one, the voice of Vrtra rattles in my head.

Hmm. So i really am one with an evil soul. How cool is that...

end of chapter four.
