The Hero Series: Novel Edition

Chapter 4 - Revenge

Eric opened his eyes and saw Null, a black entity with white eyes. From fear, he became furious. He tried to attack Null but he was blocked by Dreadlord, a skeleton wearing a purple robe. Dreadlord shook his head.

A hologram of Rines appeared. Eric slowly dropped his fist.

"This is the person you have to kill." Said Null.

Null then opened a portal. Eric went through it and found he was back at the training grounds. He saw the corpse of Emanuel. He felt sad. He turned around and saw Null shaking his head.

Eric floated up and flew towards Bloody Cove. At the Bloody Cove, Eric found a red stone. The red stone glowed red and a red laser hit Eric's chest. Eric's robe turned red and he lets out a sinister smile. He looked to his left and saw Aria. He smiled even wider.

Shawn woke up from a terrible nightmare and saw Blaze and Nina looking worried.

"Where did you get the Blue Element?" Asked Nina while pointing his necklace.

He looked to his right and saw Aria. As he was pointing towards Aria, she disappeared.

"Aria, she gave it to me." Said Shawn while pointing to the direction of where Aria was.

Nina and Blaze looked into the distance with a confused face. Nina, Blaze and Shawn continued their journey together.

Nina, Blaze and Shawn later found Aria's training arena. Shawn was so excited when he saw Aria in the arena. Aria turned towards Shawn. Shawn walked slowly towards Aria with open arms.

Aria's eyes turned red and she throws a red spike towards Shawn. Shawn managed to dodge the spike. Blaze and Nina turned around and saw two portals opened up. Null pounced on Nina. Nina managed to block the attack using her double blade. A wither orb flew towards Blaze, but Blaze deflected the wither orb.

Shawn fought hard with the 'red-eyed' Aria. At last, Aria kicked Shawn and Shawn fell. Shawn saw Aria about to stab him. Shawn closed his eyes. Suddenly the necklace with the blue stone appeared. The stone emitted a laser which hit Aria. Aria fell backwards. Null and Dreadlord retreated. The arena slowly disappeared. Aria slowly faded into Eric.

Shawn, Nina and Blaze quickly ran into the forest.
