Castle Jeremy

Entering through a large set of arched doors the thin creature carries Rio into a large room.

"Let me go!" Rio shouts in his mind activating his influence.

The creature releases his grasp to Rio's satisfaction.

That feeling doesn't last long as another creature picks him up and continues the journey through the castle.

"Aw come on!"

Rio attempts one more time to use his influence but as soon as he does, the previous creature snaps out of the trance and resumes the cycle.

He eventually decides that it would be better for him to just summon one of his servants.

He attempts to pull one of them into his reserves when an unfortunate message appears in his mind.

"Reserve failed. Servant is outside of your range"

"..."

"you have got to be joking. Why would you give me a limit? Aren't I supposed to be the strongest!"

"Don't take that tone with me. You should be grateful. There are not many entities as great as I that can grant you a new life. You got yourself in this mess. Don't try to drag me down with you. In fact."

"New mission from Alberoth: Escape Jeremy's Castle."

[Reward: New ability]

"How's that for power, huh!"

Rio is momentarily excited about the prospect of a new mission before thinking about how petty Alberoth was.

Rio eventually makes his way to a throne room.

Looking up he can see a young child.

He looked about 8-10 years of age and was wearing a set of tattered clothes.

The young boy looks towards Rio with a wide grin.

"Don't just stand there, bring him to me!"

The creatures pause for a moment before carrying out Jeremy's order.

Rio is placed into the arms of the boy as he begins to pet the top of his head.

Rio would have torn the kid to shreds if he could but his current body lacked the power to do so.

Instead he quickly activated domination and waited for the process to complete.

"This is so degrading."

Jeremy plays with Rio for a while longer as the domination takes hold.

After only 2 minutes the process was complete.

[Domination successful]

"Would you like to name your new servant"

"Yeah yeah, just call him Jeremy. Now let me go!"

Jeremy releases his hold on Rio and stands up.

Stretching out his body Rio commands Jeremy to have his minions release his servants.

"Bring me those Prisoners now!" he shouts loudly to the creatures in the room.

The creatures look towards one another and stop moving for a few seconds.

"Didn't you hear me! Bring me those pris-"

Before he could finish his sentence One of the larger creatures picks him up and throws him to the ground.

"N-no More K-King!"

"What." Rio jumps at the sudden outburst from the creature.

He had assumed that they were completely under the boys control but that no longer seems to be the case.

The creature picks up the boy by his throat and carries him off.

Seeing his only option for escape being carried away, Rio chases after them.

He follows them down multiple sets of stairs.

The further down the messier everything becomes. The wood down below has begun to rot and patches of mold can be seen throughout.

Eventually  the boy is thrown into a small cell. Unlike the rest of the area, the wood used as bars is well preserved and doesn't have an ounce of rot.

There are about 10 different cells within the room.

Looking around, Rio spots both Zack and Vector in separate cells across from one another.

Jeremy is thrown into one of the cells by the creature as it lets out a disturbing sound.

"D-draw!"

Jeremy doesn't respond to the command and remains still.

The creature becomes noticeably agitated and begins hitting the bars.

"DRAW!"

Feeling that things might get out of hand if this carries on, Rio orders Jeremy to follow the creature's instructions.

After receiving the order, Jeremy pulls out a stick of chalk and begins doodling on the floor of the cell.

After a minute of drawing  he steps back as a figure similar to the other creatures rises from the ground. turning to the side the new creature steps out of the cell.

"I get it now. That boy must be the only one capable of creating these creatures. If things are how I think they are, this might just work out in my favor."

The two creatures began speaking in an unknown language for a bit, turning to the boy every now and then.

The smaller one nods its head and walks over to the entrance and stares into the room of cells while the bigger one leaves the room.
