The 5 Knights

Chapter 11

The sun was in the middle of the sky. The blue sea was calling out for someone to come and try its cooled water. The green forest behind them had weird energy coming out of it. A scent of death and evil.

The nightmare was sitting on the burning, golden sand hugging her legs. She was worried about Salem and the battles going on in the Moon Kingdom.

Amelia was walking around, trying to know where they are. Then sat next to Nightmare. "Why did you send us here? We have that scary energy coming out of the forest behind us, then we have that sea that is calling our names out loud to swim in." Said Amelia, shooting her words out of her mouth without filtering.

"This is Salem's dimension, Amelia. That forest is not scary, I am sure he never lets in Demons or something dangerous." Replied Nightmare without making eye contact with anyone.

A woman with a morning voice asked Nightmare, "aren't you a Demon? Which means if you are in, other deadly creatures are here as well." It was Barmouth. She was stretching out her hands and feet. Then held her soul staff and stood up on her feet.

Rosa jumped into the conversation to cool things down. "Listen up guys, Nightmare might be and might not be a demon, yes we can sense something like a demon aura coming out of her, but that does not mean she is one."

Nightmare thanked her for the nice entry she made. But she still did not make any eye contact with anyone. At least not until radon woke up.

He spoke with a tired voice, "Ladies, can't you see Nightmare bothered? She is swimming in her pool of dark thoughts." He stood up on his feet and washed his face with the refreshing seawater.

"You got that right Radon, I am worried a bit." smiled Nightmare, held her scythe, and stood up on her feet. "I will show you something stunning."

She drew a circle on the sand with her scythe and then pierced it in the middle of it. A purple smoke came out of that circle and formed a map of the Moon Kingdom.

Their jaws were wide opened. "Is that how the Moon Kingdom is right now?" Announced Amelia.

"Yes. Yes, it is." Announced Nightmare. "It is a dead world now." She continued.

"Man, the land where demons appear becomes a cursed land." Said Rosa. Amelia agreed instantly.

Suddenly, A man appeared behind them. They all held their swords and jumped backward, towards the sea.

"I believe you are Salem's guests in this realm." The man said. He wore a black hat and a formal suit. He wore two white gloves. His hat covered his pale white face, but they could two moving lips from the shadows.

"Three humanoid Angels, one hollowed humanoid angels, and an S-Rank Demon." Continued the hooked man, adopted a formal tone. He rolled his eyes every time he said their identities.

He asked to follow him as he walked inside the forest. "We refuse young man." Said Radon.

The man appeared behind him, turned his hand into a hook, and rested its sharp head in his neck. "Thank you kiddo." Announced Hooked man.

All of them jumped back except for Nightmare. She smiled then laughed out loud. "You are Hooked man." Announced Nightmare. She was holding his hat, threw it up in the sky, and held it back again.

He had two eyes that reflected a man holding a scythe above black flames. "Good, now that you know me you should follow me. He won't like it when he sees you here." The hooked man said with a rush in his voice.

"What do you mean by him?" Asked Barmouth. She looked around to make sure everyone is safe.

He pushed Radon away and turned his hand back to normal. "Listen up, You either follow me or die here and now." Said Hooked man with a dead voice. The wind started to blow. The wind was cold and gotten sharper.
