Solomon Stone: Beyond

Chapter 15

A dark smoke magically appeared beside Detective Lynch, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a woman. "Mom?" Solomon uttered puzzled, and at the same time astonished of what he just witnessed. Never in his entire life had he seen such act.

Dumbfounded of what he saw, Solomon walked closely to his mother to check if he is not hallucinating.

"Hello Solomon, surprise!" She said very happy to see her son again. She hugged Solomon very tight because she missed him so much.

"H-how? Wha-what?" Solomon asked with confusion.

"I teleported!" She answered.

"Teleported? What kind of machine did you use? Is there a new invention that I do not know yet? I thought teleportation is impossible?" Solomon asked a lot of questions to his mother, like a child who just started to learn basic Science.

Solomon's mother walked towards a chair, and sat in front of the dining table. She didn't answered Solomon's question yet "Before I answer all of your questions, can you let me eat first? I'm starving." She said. She paused for a while and looked at Detective Sarah's face. "How pretty of you, Sarah, finally I met you." She added.

"You know me?" Sarah asked puzzled.

"Well, I know a lot about you, I always monitored Solomon's dream, and..." Solomon cuts her from talking, before she could reveal everything. Gifted with the ability of mind reading, Solomon's mother can watch dreams and as well as predict the next move of her enemies.

"Mom, Uhm..." cleared throat "I miss you so much, what brings you here?" Solomon asked.

Sarah glared at Solomon's face, and smiled secretly like she wanted to hear everything what Solomon's mother will tell her. She also noticed that Solomon's face turned a little reddish, embarrassed of her mother's words. Solomon noticed Sarah is looking at her, which is why he quickly turned his face towards somewhere.

Lynch, sat into the master's chair in the dining room, and asked the same question. "Yes, what brings you here dear?"

"Jerry called me; he told me that our son is in trouble, so I quickly jumped here. Sadly, I did not see that one coming; because I am too busy creating living organisms in other dimension." She answered while eating her favorite food, the roast beef. "And don't blame Jerry" She added.

"How many times have I told you, that mind reading is not allowed inside our house?" Lynch said, irritated.

"Oh, come on Lynch! Do you really want to start a fight again?" She replied.

"The two of you, Cut it out!" Solomon shouted.

"Sorry dear" Solomon's mother said.

"Now, can you answer all of my questions?" Solomon asked.

"Well then, since you and Sarah are very eager to know everything..." She stood up and moved a little bit further from the dining table. "Telpo transporto" she uttered, then she lifted up both her arms into the air, and then suddenly, all of them that's inside the dining room teleported to Lynch office. A beautiful and mystical room, filled with different medieval weapons collected by Detective Lynch.

"Just call me Emily, dear Sarah" she uttered, after she just read Sarah's thoughts.

Emily walked towards a platform inside her husband's office and then started to give Solomon and Sarah a little lecture.

"Teleportation is in fact, possible; however, normal human beings cannot do it alone. They needed an apparatus that will teleport them to different places in the planet. However, teleportation for humans are limited to earth only, not like us, we can travel anywhere, including other dimensions. Teleportation device is not yet available in normal life, but scientists already developed a prototype. Now with regards to us mystical humans with extra special abilities, we do not need gadgets just to jump from one place to another. There are two ways we mystical humans can teleport. What I just did earlier, is a massive teleportation spell called Telpo Transporto, by which I can teleport anyone anywhere I wanted. The single teleportation however, is an ability that is already inside the body of magical entities like us, since we were born".

Solomon suddenly focused on all the things that her mother told them and became interested. It seems that he already accepted everything, and is now ready to listen about everything paranormal. "Can I also do those things?" He asked, enthusiastically.

"Of course yes, my dear Solomon, in fact, you even managed to summon a Demon" she said.

"What? When? How?" Solomon asked, surprised and puzzled. "I didn't even know how to do a freaking magic trick, what more summon a demon?" He added.

"Son, by using the black ink of your father, you accidentally created a demon named Clowny Jones. If you're an ordinary human, the probability of summoning a demon using that ink is zero, however, you're not." She answered.

Shocked of what he heard, Solomon felt very sad. He's hands were shaking and his whole body felt weak all of a sudden. His heart is in so much pain, like a dagger is being stabbed to his chest repeatedly. Solomon blamed himself for the death of so many, including innocent children. "Oh no! I killed them!" He said in a gloomy voice.

Tears fell onto the ground from Solomon's eyes. Deafening silence suddenly succumb everyone. Sarah embraced Solomon to give him some comfort.

"Solomon son, listen to me carefully before you even hate and try to kill yourself. It is indeed true that you summoned a demon; however, it is not your fault why the demon is terrorizing the people. Summoning a demon is not the problem, if a people like us accidentally summoned creatures from any mystical material, it will just revert back to its true form like the ink, within 24 hours. Right now I am very positive that someone like us is conjuring the demon; but the question is why?" Emily said to them.

Lynch suddenly butt in to the conversation, "That is also the reason, why I am so angry at you before Solomon, and I would like to apologize about that. Now, I fear that someone powerful is behind all of this. No ordinary creator and sorcerer can control a creature summoned by others, only the one who summoned such entity can control it. "

"The problem is that, there's always an exception to every rule. There are mystical humans like us who are much more powerful than the others, higher level beings just like me and your father or maybe more powerful than us that could perform such magic." Emily said.

Solomon stood up and walked towards in front of his mother. He held his mother's hands and asked her another question. "Is there any way we can stop the demon?"

"Yes of course son, there are lots of ways to capture and stop a demon, however, you're the only one who can capture the one you summoned." She replied.

"How?" Solomon asked.

"Do you still have the ink container? If you do, bring it to me, I will teach you how." Emily answered.

The ink container is currently kept at Detective Solomon's office inside the police department of Center City. It is inside a vault where Solomon keeps all of his important belongings.

Solomon rushed towards the door and asked Sarah to quickly follow him. "Sarah, let's go, we do not have much time. Meet me inside the car; I'll just go get my gun."

"Hold on dear" Solomon's mother stopped them, "if you're going to catch a demon, you will do it my way. Come and hold each other's hands" Solomon's face blushed, as she held Sarah's soft and beautiful hands. They walked towards Emily then suddenly; "Telpo Transporto" the two of them was teleported to Solomon's office in a jiffy.
