Blood Moon: Awakening Prologue
BLOOD MOON: AWAKENING It was a cold night in Giza, Egypt. A large crimson red moon in the sky. Civilians had been evacuated from the entire city. Soldiers at every corner, hearts beating, pupils dilating, sweat dripping. Guns clenched, tanks loaded, fighter jets circling the area, heavy artillery all focused on a single point, a small portal with distorted waves of brown energy. The portal was accompanied by a violent windstorm that engulfed the entire area and kept spreading throughout the country. Some soldiers collapsed from the pressure; others fell to their knees. A select group of five stood firm at the rear and mirrored the energy in blue hues. They were clad in knight like armor of the same colour. The brown energy returned suppressed, and silence took over the city of Giza. The commanding officer stood firmly at the rear. "Take aim!" he ordered."Here it comes." a soldier quavered to himself.The portal expanded to the size of a skyscraper and out rushed an army of demons."
Blood Moon: Awakening Chapter One
The dust settled around Giza as the portal shrunk until it became no more than a dot. There were no living demons in sight. The soldiers set up their energy meters around to check for trace amounts of source energy while James sat atop a dead minotaur, panting. His black hair was soaked in sweat and his irises were constricted and had a red glow. He felt a tap on his shoulder. "You okay man?" James turned to see his closest friend, Abubakr. He had a concerned look in his eye. James raised his head as his irises returned to their normal grey color."I'll live," he groaned."It's that unstable huh?""Yup, I have to maintain a high level of focus to keep it under control. The core is very much alive at this point and it keeps on trying to take over.""Amazing how you can say that without a care in the world.""I don’t let it bother me. I'll just keep on fighting until I can overcome the

The soldier reached out for help as the light slowly faded from his eyes. Joseph's blue energy burst out, summoning an axe, and forming the armor as he dashed at Edward. David, already in full armor, followed his lead and tried to flank the demon.Edward smiled as he tore off the soldier's head and kicked the body towards Joseph. He engulfed the soldier's head with green source energy and quickly blasted David with it pushing him through a wall. Joseph caught the body and blood dripped on his armor. A staff swung at Edward's head, but he dodged it immediately. The soldier charged the staff and swung a second time, but Edward blocked it. The force from the impact pushed him towards Joseph, who slammed his axe into Edward's armor sending him crashing through the wall. As he laid flat on his back, his eyes met with David's, who came swooping with his twin Sai, ready to stab him into the ground. Edward created a blast to propel himself out of David's range. He landed on his back and rolle

The crowd gave Yu a standing ovation. Kris left the hall and headed towards the boy's toilet. He was a bit dizzy and also felt choked by a deep yet unexplained tension in the hall. As he got to the toilet, he washed his face. He noticed that someone was taking a shit in a section beside him."Tempting... but nah." He smirked to himself.He walked towards the exit door and as he opened it, his eyes met with James' fierce stare. In that momet, there was a brief surge of bloodlust from James. Kris took a few steps back instinctively. James calmed himself and walked pass Kris with zero expression. Kris found himself retreating a bit before trying to hold himself and his shoulder brushed against that of James."Did I just give way?" Kris thought as he recollected himself. After a brief moment, he realized that both of them had bumped into each other."Hey... what the fuck?" He bellowed while swaying his arms upwards."

At the American base, everyone stood silent as they focused on the screen. Some were clenching their fists, some stood in awe of what they had been witnessing, and others were praying. Dr. Yu and Major Michael were in the main office as they watched the fight unfold."This isn't right. None of this makes any sense. The red source is two levels above green, yet he manages to hold out quite easily against James!" an irritated Michael queries as he bangs the table. Yu sat quietly for a while as he looked at the screen."Don't be so quick to judge Michael. It's probably all going according to James' plan. He is just like his mother in that regard. " Yu chuckles, then gives a light smile."Probably? Bold of you to be..." Michael stopped as he noticed Yu squeezing on to his chair while maintaining a light smile. He turned to the screen and didn't utter another word. "Let's hope you are right." He thought to himself.AT THE SCHOOL's field, James and Edward were having a stare down as their e

Sirens wailing, emergency calls flowing in, people evacuating as the energies clash and the pressure building began to become toxic far beyond the perimeter set up by the military. At the base, Michael had the news on."I am Aidrian on the site, and right behind me you can witness this heavy flow of traffic. It's quite chaotic as people are panicking at the sight of this high-pressured energy clash. " Aidrian, a reporter, was struggling to maintain his balance as he spoke about the happenings a few miles away from the established radius."Earlier on, there were reports by the military of a test drill which was meant to briefly evacuate people within ten miles of Central Park East high school. It seems to have been more than just a test drill, as clearly the hazar... " Michael muted the screen. He had been calling out to Yu, but Yu was focused on the damage reports coming in."This is a total mess! The spy bot has been destroyed by that wild

"What's happening... What's going on?" A drowsy Kris began to regain consciousness. He kept hearing voices and couldn't make sense of anything."It's amazing... he's waking up and we haven't lost contact..." A voice spoke around him."What... contact? who's what...hunh?" Kris let out a gentle breath before opening his left eye. He looked up to see a white ceiling. His eyeball rolled leftwards slowly as he saw a monitor and a drip stand. He tried sitting up but couldn't feel the right part of his body."Take it easy... Are you in any pain?" A soft voice spoke.There's no particular way to explain this but Kris suddenly realized that he was looking at this person with his right eye which he knew he didn't open as he only could feel the left side of his body. He stared blankly at this man who sort of looked familiar."What about you James... anything new?""James? Who are you talking..." Kris was interrupted by the feeling of his mouth talking."Nothing so far.."Kris panicked. He was co

The white light dissipated slowly. Kris took a look around. It didn't feel like they'd left. Elizabeth and the others stood as the door opened. Kris stood up as well, but his feet wobbled and he fell to his knees. As he tried to recollect himself, his head began to spin."Huh?" he mumbled as he tried again to stand but fell backwards."It's the after effect for near-instant travel." Elizabeth placed her hand on his forehead and imbued a bit of source energy into him. "You'll get used to it," she added with a light smile.They walked out of the facility and into a Limo. They were escorted by a convoy of military jeeps and drove through downtown Sharm el-sheik to Jabal Mousa, a mountain reserve with history and wildlife. Historically said to be the mountain where Moses received the ten commandments. Once they got out of the Limo, they were greeted with a heatwave. Kris felt his body shrivel on contact. He was reluctant to leave the Limo but Elizabeth's men dragged him out. They walked

An obliterated area in Alexandria. Scattered traces of source energies (from red to yellow) all around burning onto the land. Explosions had occured all around which had in turn caused the ground to deteriorate even further.Laying flat at one end of the land was Salim. Totally beaten and unconscious. He had blood dripping out from the wounds on his arms and legs also from his mouth. A cold breeze blew across his body as his heart rate continued to drop. Deep in a crater was Asim, half buried with only his arms and head being exposed. Dried blood all over his mouth and neck. Explosions continued and so did clash of weapons and cracks being spread across the land.Laying beaten with his back against a boulder was Oumar. The upper body of his yellow armor was destroyed and blood flowed out from a blade wound a bit below his chest. The boulder had a large splash of blood with deep holes on it. Oumar coughed out as he lifted his eyes to look at lines of red and emerald energies clashing

Kris opened his eyes slowly in a hospital room. He felt like he had been in a long dream but couldn't remember what exactly the dream was about. He sat up then noticed that his body was perfectly fine and also energetic. "Why am I here?" He muttered as he tried to recollect his thoughts. "Yeah, the graduation ceremony. Su and I were about to start the finals?" His mind flashed quickly to he and Su exchanging blows and going hard against each other.""No. We actually started the fight. We went head on against each other. We were about to deliver the final punch when.... when..." He couldn't remember. The door to his ward opened and Fred walked in. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans with a face cap on his head"Nice! You are awake." Fred spoke with a cheerful tone."Oh, Fred." Kris didn't know how to react. A quick flash of his battle against Fred ran through his mind. He remained silent as he watched Fred take up a seat beside him."Clam down and don't look at me that way. It is creep

"ATTACK!"The ten minutes battle began with the collision of weapons between Sadiki and Joukron. Others followed as they entered a deadlock with their counterparts. As Sadiki and Joukron pushed against each other, Joukron smiled and an orc flipped over him and struck its spear at Sadiki. His eyes glowed blue, then he formed an energy sphere to intercept it. The little shift in concentration gave Joukron the edge and he pushed Sadiki back before kicking him into a wall."This one is mine. Go and retrieve it." Joukron ordered. The orc nodded and headed for the transport room. Sadiki burst out of the wall with quick speed in an attempt to strike the orc down, but he was intercepted by Joukron."GET OUT OF MY WAY!" He roared as his Katana began to glow with blue energy. He grabbed it with his second hand and was able to push Joukron back. Joukron laughed then licked its butcher blade. Both of their energies rose and they launched at each other. The two entered a fast flurry of exchanges w

(Please note: The demons speak in a language called Tagalog. I am just writing it in English for convenience.)"WINNER! SU MING"These words resounded on the stage although everyone was in a state of confusion. Su had barely recovered from the fear she felt moments ago. "What were those eyes?" She thought to herself. The ref, signalled for the medics to come forward. He turned to Su and opened his palms to help her up."Congratulations." Louis voiced suddenly appearing behind the ref. This froze the ref but Louis tapped his shoulder to relax him. Su hadn't fully processed all that happened but she nodded at Louis based on instinct."I am sorry but further congratulations would have to wait till after the blood moon." Louis declared and the ref nodded in agreement. "What? There's a blood moon happening now?" Su spoke in shock. The Medics soon arrived and were about to begin a check up on Kris but to their surprise, all openings on his left hand were already cauterized. Louis soon felt

In the demon world:The heilimaws were getting prepared for their raid on the human world. Armies marching towards a convergence of brown source energy. The convergence began to expand slowly and formed a tiny hole in space. The more the energy converged, the darker the colour of the hole.In a small war camp, three heilimaws sat discussing their plans "It's about time." Andrago called out to Edward and the mysterious partner of THE LADY."The process and eventual training were rough but you made it possible. This power I feel, it is beyond what a green source should wield. How did you do it?" Edward clenched his fist as he smirked at the mysterious partner. A calm emerald energy enveloped his hand."Well, it wouldn't have been possible if you didn't absorb a second core. Regardless, I have done all I can for you. What's left is to see if you can live up to your worth, Azaskiel." The partner mentioned before being enveloped by red energy. He disappeared shortly. "Weird fellow," Andr

(A FEW MOMENTS EARLIER...)Su's eyes were closed and she entered a profound state of unconsciousness. She felt as though she was actively drowning in a crystal-clear sea and has no power to stop it."I am trying my best! Why isn't it working!" These words echoed around her."Where am I?" She spoke weakly."It hurts, It's frustrating," "Did I lose?""I am weak! I can't keep my promise to you.""Whose voice is that?""I can't protect anyone. I have failed you papa.""Oh, that's mine. The self-loathing. I guess I actually did lose. No matter how far I go, there will always be a wall I can't overcome. I thought I had made peace with that. I thought I was going to give my all regardless of that fact and move on with my head held high...So why do I feel this pathetic? Why do these words echo in my head?"From behind her, a faint yellow light emerged, illuminating the entire space she was falling into."I also have a goal to fulfill and I don't care how many people or demons I'll have to ta

A few moments before Kris stepped onto the stage:"One more hurdle and it will all be over." Kris spoke to James as he sat on the waiting bench, fingers interlocked with his elbows on his knees."Agreed, but you did set this final match to maximum difficulty. You are injured, she is not and you still managed to piss her off. She's going to come at you with everything she's got.""Hmnph...""Any plans?""A few makeshift strategies all dependent on how the battle flows. Plus, Captain Oumar did say, 'Everything strong about us comes from within' If I have it in me then I guess I'll win regardless of the odds.""It's shocking how you can be optimistic.""Well it doesn't matter either way. Only the flow of battle will determine the results. What's the point of beating myself down before the opponent does?" "Regardless, you have no concrete plan and you are holding on to a vague statement as a possible win condition. Considering how she beat her previous opponents... I am sure you'll do fi

The crowd, the VIP's and even Kris stared at the entrance intensely as they waited. A countdown of sixty seconds appeared on the large screens. Su had a worried expression as she watched from the final round waiting room. As the time dropped to ten seconds, Kris let out a sigh of relief. Soon after, everyone could hear footsteps coming from the entrance point. Fred limped onto the stage and people cheered for him. Su let out a sigh of relief and cheered for Fred also.ON THE STAGE"I see you've chosen death," Kris spoke with slight irritation in his voice while he dropped his folded hands."I wouldn't miss the opportunity to punch your smug face," Fred responded with a smirk.

FRANCIS POV:Survival of the fittest. The world is controlled by the will of the strong. The prey can't cross its predator, the natural set boundaries. Those who try to cross their boundaries get crushed, but that doesn't necessarily mean its unfair. Everything is a predator as much as it is a prey. We are not exactly classified into the weak and the strong, rather we are in categories of strong with weakness being the undeniable difference. For instance; A lion is strong to a cheetah, a cheetah is strong to a gazel, a gazel is strong to grasses, grasses are strong to the ground. So also a cheetah can't overcome its weakness to challenge a lion neither can a gazel overcome its weakness to challenge a cheetah in that order. Stay in your zone of strength and you'd live a long purposeful life.I didn't always belive in this. But the everyday society made it more prominent. My father was a pushover at his workplace. He basically licked the feet of his bosses. He'd smile and shriek with e
