The old man walked to his desk and pulled out a key. He handed it with a scowl to his nephew. "You don't know what you're doing," he muttered angrily. The nephew just smiled.
"Oh, I do know what I'm doing," Blaze, the nephew said.
"You know the stories of the dead and only the head of greek empire can have... this key," Eldorf said which is the uncle of Blaze.
"You know that the one to open the gate is the one to control!"
"How do you.."
"Ever read old man, it's in Hades Gospel!"
"Blaze, that book is forbidden!"
"Does it look like I care old man!" said Blaze as he jabs the key in the slot and opens the gate.
"What have you done Blaze!"
"Now my skeleton friends, protect and serve your savior and king!"
Now Eldorf can only hope that the message for young Dagon will make it. Meanwhile... where Dagon lives.
"Dagon it's a scroll for you," said the delivery boy.
"Who is it from," asked Dagon in curiosity.
"That's the confusing part. It was given to me by a man in a draping cloak in the alley of one of my delivery stops."
"Odd. What does it say?"
"I couldn't read it," said the delivery boy, "they'd fire me for sure!"
"Oh well, that would make sense." Dagon said, "well, let me read it." As he scans the scroll his mouth drops and the delivery boy gets curious. When Dagon has a vision, it told him to be quiet. He thought he should not tell him the truth so he'd have to lie. "Oh, it's nothing. Just my brother wants to come over. That's all."
"Oh, but then why the creepy cloak?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention his old cloak got ruined so he got a new winter cloak."
"But why?"
"Hey, sorry I've got to go, and I need to get the house cleaned. Yep, bye," said Dagon as he jumps into his house.
"Well, that was strange. I better keep doing the delivery route though," said the delivery boy said to himself as he trotted on to finish his route.
