NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 47

"Since you're the guest of honor, I'll let you take your time thinking about it." the statue said, "Choose wisely."

NightBlade thought about it for a moment. 'I still can't break free from this black goo and now I have to risk one life for another? This is by far the worst day of my life.' he thought to himself,

"There is one other option." Neon told him, "But I need your opinion on this."

'What do you have in mind?'

A little while later, NightBlade looked at the statue. "Here's my decision," he said,

Both the statue and the cloaked figure were eager to hear what NightBlade has to say

"I choose to save both of them," NightBlade told them.

The cloaked figure was confused, "But that's not---"

"In return, you can have the medallion." NightBlade continued, "And I offer myself to die in their place."

"Is that so?" the statue asked,

"Do we have a deal?"

"Done."

The cloaked figure snapped his fingers and green vines sprouted from the ground and grabbed Maria and Justine out of the cage and placed them on the ground.

On the other hand, NightBlade was free from the black goo and it transformed into a table.

"Place the medallion there." The statue ordered, "Or the deal is off."

NightBlade took a deep breath as he reached for his medallion. He slowly removed it around his neck and he transformed back into Damian which shocked both Maria and Justine by surprise.

Maria was speechless, "So you're..."

'I guess it was bound to happen at some point.' Damian thought. Then he looked at the girls. "Hi."
