The 5 Knights

Chapter 10

    "Now, welcome to the castle." A voice echoed in Day-Dream's head. He opened his eyes but only saw dim shadows moving around freely.

"He shouldn't die from just moving him here." Announced another voice.

A woman held a bucket filled with water and tossed it on his face. He coughed and opened his eyes widely. He can see everyone who stood in the room. He tried to stand up, but he was caught up with black flamed chains.

"Where am I? Who the hell are you guys?" Asked Day-Dream with a gloomy face.

Suddenly, a guy with no top came into the room out of the shadows. Day-Dream was stunned to see him here. It was Salem.

He apologized for the late attendance. "Now, hooked man." Said Salem. A man normal man with a black hat Stepped forward. "Please head to the summer lands and welcome my guests. Nightmare and three humanoid angels and a hollowed humanoid angel."

"Will you join us?" Asked hooked man. "As soon as I am done here." Replied Salem with a gorgeous smile on his pale white face.

"More importantly, tell me why you kept me alive." Asked Day-Dream. His facial expression portrayed sadness, hatred, and happiness at the same time. The same did his heart.

"Pick aside, are you happy, sad or hate me or love me or? Just specify." Said Salem as he made a chair for himself out of nowhere from black flames. He made a chair for Marry, Sealer, Death, and Sailer.

"So, you guys are just 5?" Asked Day-Dream, examining every single one of them with his golden eyes. "Salem is the one who asks questions here." Replied Marry with an angry voice.

"Young chick, take it easy in front of Salem." Replied Sailer, putting his white hat on. "It's fine man, you guys should drop the formalities and don't take things so far." Replied Salem, making the air denser.

"Now back to you," said Salem, putting his scythe on the floor. "Tell us more about the Demon God Shadow. I visited him last night. Is he doing fine?" All of the 6 souls in the room looked at him with amazement. They wanted to say lots of things such as how did you do that? Who did you meet? Let's attack him right away. But at some point, non of them spoke a word.

"Guys, don't give me that look, mom was way stronger than me and the same was my sister, and they both did the same thing, so don't give that look of wow your amazing one." Elaborated Salem, looked at every single one's eyes.

"You have a point there, I saw there-" Day-Dream could not continue his words until Salem suddenly appeared in front of him, fisted his hand, and punched him real hard in the stomach, making a hole in him.

"You keep that shit to yourself. I don't want to listen to your rumble." Said Salem with a cold, dead voice. His eyes shined bright red in the opposite end of the darkroom.

Day-Dream was in so much pain, yet, he still dared to talk. The chains around him disappeared so he had some time to get himself up as well. "The truth hurts." Salem held his scythe and planted it next to his head.

"Say one more word and black flames will eat you internally with no water to cool them off." Said Salem with the same tone. Except, his eyes shined redder.

"As you-" Day-Dream replied until he felt the fire burning from inside of him. He began rolling around, screaming from the top of his lungs. The floor under him cracked open and fell into the black hell, where his fellow demons are found.

They all stood on their feet and tried to rush for Day-Dream to grab some information. Except for Marry. She froze them from running towards Salem.
