CHAPTER FIVE
It's been a week now since daxon younger sister died but his wounds are still fresh and the pain and hate still fills his heartMeanwhile Almiron still hadn't found out yet that he was amongst the few people in the world to have supernatural abilities he didn't know yet that he was a necromancer.He arrived at campus and parks his car as he grabs his bags.He gets out of his car and walks straight into the school building while using his phone.He's late for class, but it doesn't matter because the professor will never notice him anyways, as he is extremely old and has been teaching this class for over twenty years now, with very little interest in anything that goes on around him. Soon later almiron and zayn are done with their class as they walk into an eatery to get lunch. They get their meals and sest together.Unknowingly to them daxon had followed them to that restaurant and taken a seat far from them, watching them with anger and hate he attracts the shadow of the cup next to him as he thinks of his name and the shadow forms his name then he thinks of an arrow and the shadow changes its shape to and arrow then he thinks of a knife and once again it changes its shape to a knife."Having a good time after destroying my life." He mutters to himself as he watches them eat.Once Zayn is finished he leaves the food and drinks and leaves to go get some more.After they were finished eating Almiron looked at his watch and noticed that they would be heading back to campus soon so they decided to just head home. On their way out of the eatery zayn takes a glance at daxon with a smile on his face using his eyes to let him knowthat he noticed him from the beginning then he walks out with almiron. "Well see you tomorrow, Have fun." Zayn said before leaving him behind. Once outside Almiron looks at daxon who was seated close to them.It was quite obvious by the way daxon glared that he had formed an unknown hatred for him. Almiron quickly ignored him knowing that he wasn't worth worrying about and turns away to continue walking. After some time daxon equally gets up and leaves too as the shadow returns back to the cup.Almiron sits in his room looking out the window with a frown on his face, thoughts about the previous days still flows through his head as he listens to music he had downloaded onto his laptop when a mockingbird files into his room and perched on his desk. The birdie had a bright blue colour of feathers that were beautiful to look at."Hmmm." He says with a smile on his face as he stretched out his index finger and the little birdie perched on it.The birdie entering his room had brightened up his mood before he noticed something unusual happened to the bird.Its bright blue colour began to darken as almiron noticed that its body shape had changed. As he continued looking at it the little birdie now resembled something completely different than what it originally was.An ominous aura started to surround the bird like a thick fog filled the air. With each passing second the bird lost more and weight looking really skinny.After a few minutes the bird falls to his table looking lifeless as almiron unknowingly sucked out all the life from the beautiful bird."No!" He says in shock as the expression on his face said it all."What is this... what just happened?" He pick up the lifeless body of the bird as he stares at it in shock and surprise.*~~*A bunch of keys chuckle together as daxon opens his door and walks in, he drops his bags on the couch and takes a sit while pulling out almiron and zayn picture out of his pocket, he stares at it for a while before looking at jasmine picture sitting on the side table.“Hhmmm.” He sighsHe gets up as he takes off his t-shirt and heads to the bathroom, while in the bathroom he looks at his reflection in the mirror and on his body (his left arm to be precise) there was a black snake tattoo spiraling around up to his shoulder. This tattoo wasn’t there before but as his sister died and he slept with so much pain that evening he woke up the next morning only to discover the tattoo there.He enters the shower and comes out almost immediately. While walking to his desk he slightly waves his hand and steals the shadow of the side stool near his bed, daxon had fully accepted the fact that he had an extraordinary gift, he takes a sit at his desk as he looks at the shadow with no emotion on his face.Then he thinks of a pocket knife and the shadow changes it shape to it, he then tries to pick the shadow as he realizes that he cant use the knife to harm himself or anyone, he couldn’t even physically touch the shadow knife.*~~*Almiron walks back into his room as he had gone to dispose of the birds corpse, he sat down on his bed and took a deep breath, after everything that has happened to him he was finally ready to accept the fact that he might have supernatural gift.There were so many times he wanted to explain everything he saw to zayn or maya but he thought they would think he’s crazy so he just kept everything to himself.As he closes his eyes and tries to rest, he feels a very small but sharp pain on his neck but discards it then he decides to take a walk.*~~*Daxon watches the shadow’s movements as it changes it shape to whatever he thinks of while he’s also busy planning the way he’s supposed to take his revenge on zayn and almiron.‘Do I expose this gift to the world, what would the government do if they find out about me.’ He thinks to himself.*~~*Almiron walks out of the house as he heads towards a nearby forest, he had been there for almost 10 minutes as he sits down in a random place under a tree. He takes out his laptop and clocks on it then begins flicking through the internet.Ever since he started seeing the dead he had been searching for something, anything that can tell him whether he’s crazy or not, he finally found a website that explained that some people had this unique or rather strange power in them, but most people believed it was all staged, they believed it was a trick, a way for people to gain fame and money.Little did they know that everything single thing was real, the government tried to keep things like this from the world.While scrolling through the site he finds a odd video of someone using he’s abilities.He was practicing cryomancy and dropped the temperature of an iron rod down to -272° Celsius, that’s 1 degree below absolute zero.He keeps his eyes glued to the video as the guy drops the surroundings temperature down to -7° Celsius and everything around him began to freeze, not long after that the camera couldn’t handle the intense cold temperature and the lens broke as the video ended.“Jeez.” He says with a surprise tone.Yet he was equally relieved that he wasn’t a freak or to put it in normal terms he wasn’t the only one with this abilityHe closes he's laptop and looks at the time on his phone.Concluding it was time to get going he packs his pc but while he was about to get up he noticed a beautiful red rose next to himIt looked so beautiful that he couldn’t hold himself back from removing it from its roots.He picks it and takes a nice sniff‘Well it technically has no smell.’He thought to himself then a thought entered his mind‘Can I do it again?’ he asked himself.Suddenly he looks at the rose with a strong gaze focusing all his attention at it.Then the rose began to lose its bright red colour as he sucks the life out of it, the rose pebbles fall to the ground as it slacks out of his hand.He looks at it but with less surprises this time.He picks another rose and does the exact same thing‘I wander what else I can do.’ He thought to himself.But he felt something within him he felt the urge of killing something bigger, something that has more life that urge started flowing through his mind as he drops the dead rose and looks at his hands.‘Hmmm guess like I have to live with it.’He picks up he’s computer and leaves.*~~*At daxon lonely apartment, there he was in the dining sitting alone having dinner.This felt weird for him because he and his sister always ate together at the table, and that was just the beginning, the whole house was quite, he had no one to talk to and there were no voices, all this just drove him to the darkness more and more.While eating his cereal, he tries to get more milk and his hand unknowingly knocks down he’s phone under the table.He paused for a while gets up from his sit and bends over trying to get his phone.Under the table was shielded from light, it was dark and had shadows.While still searching for his phone he puts his hand on the darkest part under the table and something strange happened to his hand.His hand went into the shadow, like the shadow was a portal to and location, it sucked his hand in and when he noticed that his hand wasn’t on a surfaced area he quickly looks under only to see that his wrist is inside the shadow.“What in the hell?..” he says to himself.He quickly pulls his hand out of the shadows and feels it with concern, thankfully nothing happened to his wrist while it was in the ‘other side.’He looks under the table at the same spot again with curiosity as he stretches his hand forward again trying to touch that exact same spot.His wrist smoothly slips into the shadow once more and his fingers couldn’t feel anything on the ‘other side.’ It was like his hand were in a void space.He pulls it out once more but instead of a surprised look on his face it was the opposite.He looks at his hand once more.“Interesting.” He says to himself with a big smirk on his face.*~~*Almiron had gotten home and in his room were three dead rose right on his floor, it seemed he had done some more activities with the rosesAnd there he was in his room standing by he's desk looking at his calendar and what was circled there.He’s mother’s death anniversary was the next day, it was one of the worst days of his life because it reminded him of the fact that he never got the motherly love he deserved.there was always this emptiness inside him one day every year and that day was tomorrow"tomorrow it is." he muttered to himself then looks at his wardrobe and says"what am I even gonna wear."He turned away and went to his closet as he tries to figure out what he was going to wear to go pay respect to his deceased mother.He grabs an all black outfit as he rolls his eyes forward, he drops the outfit back and pick up he's phone while laying on his bedHe opens his phone and there was a message notification from maya but he ignored it.He opens his G****e search and typed in necromancer as it educates him on everything about necromancy.He searches for some stores that sells necromancer magic books.Feeling tired he sets his mind to go get the books tomorrow and find out more about this magic after he gets back from paying respects to his mom.He drops down his phone then switches off the lights and snooze off...........Chapter sixThe next morning, despite feelling less refreshed than the previous days, almiron was up and ready around 8:00AM in the morning, stepping out of his room just as the alarm on his phone sounded off. Switching it off, he took a second to look towards his father’s study, taking note of how today of all days, the door remained closed.That however, did not stop him from taking a few cautious steps towards it. “Dad, I’m heading out.” He informed and waited a few seconds, hoping that his father would respond.However there was no response from him, almiron wasn’t surprised though because he’s father has done this for more than 6 years now, every year on the day his wife died he locks himself in his office and stays there for the rest of the day drowning himself with alcohol. Wasting no time he turns around and walks away and on his way out he picks up the beautiful bouquet of flowers his driver got for today, he leaves the house finally getting the fear of being driven by
Chapter seven Psssssssch!!!Almiron opens up a can of cola as he sat alone at the eatery.He takes a sip and as he puts the can of soda down his eyes were glowing bright green again.He looks around the eatery and noticed that they were a lot of spirits there, that wasn't a new thing for him as he had gotten used to the fact that he could see the dead, at that very moment strange thoughts started to go through his head as he asks himself questions. 'Its not a good idea to talk to spirits, you never know which is good and which is bad."'What if a spirit possessed me and I don't know?''Are my memories really my own, could they be someone elses?'He started to get worried about what could possibly happen if he talks to a spirit, but at the same time, the desire to communicate with them grew more and more. His thoughts were interrupted as he heard someone coming up from behind him."You just couldn't wait."Almiron turned around and found out it was zayn "
Chapter eightAlmiron's powers had increased immensely throughout the course of the past few days. He had grown his hair long and silk. However the constant use of his powers also came with a price. It was slowly taking away his humanity.The more he used his powers the more he felt some part of him disappear.And this strange feeling was already getting to his head.Pride started to flood his mind as He would often find himself talking to himself in the mirror. His powers were making him a narcissist. He had even given himself the title of ‘ lord almiron'. He would spend hours every day, sitting and admiring his own body, often referring to himself as close to a god given that the power of life and death are in his hands.But the dark spirits he sees wanted more.They wanted him to be consumed by the power he possessed.They wanted him to lose touch of everything he ever cared for and it looked like they were succeeding.He no longer cared about what he did.H
Chapter nine "Killed me?" Maya asked Daxon grabs a hold of maya's neck and before she knew it he started choking her."Wh-what are you doing?" She manages to say."Do me a favour, say hello to my sister for me." With his other hand daxon put his hand in a shadow portal and brings out a knife.Maya struggles and tries to break free of his hold but daxon grip was just to strong for her to do so.He uses the knife and stabs her right in her heart.Maya starts coughing out blood as her eyes start rolling in the back of her head.A sick smile appeared on daxon face as he continues to choke her as her life slips away.Her eyes turn completely white as the life in her fades away.He threw her lifeless body on the floor as he stood up above her looking down with disgust on his face.His attention was quickly taken as there was a black hooded figure standing outside his window watching everything. Then before he could move the figure wasn't there again.He walks up to his win
Chapter ten“I am so deeply sorry about what am about to do to you, I hope where ever you are you can forgive me.” He says to mayas lifeless body After saying that Almiron immediately puts his big thumb in his mouth then cuts himself open with his teeth.He then draws the fleur de lis symbol on the side of the young girls head which is where the brain is at.This will let him gain access to all of mayas memories and even her thoughts.After drawing it he starts mumbling and ancient resurrection spell as he called upon the forces of death to answer his call.“Gal ada mu ra luta.” While mumbling the spell this drew the attention of the undead.Spirits that were wondering around here on earth began to gather around him.A dark aura suddenly surrounded him as his eyes began to glow green.“Maya,” Almiron whispered, his voice barely more than a breath. “Can you hear me?”Then it happened Maya’s eyes sprung wide open as she started breathing again.Though she was able to move and she was
Chapter eleven Almiron made his way to the university cafeteria, his heart still racing from the encounter with Daxon. He needed to talk to Zayn, to explain everything that had happened and prepare him for the dangers that lay ahead.As he entered the bustling cafeteria, he spotted Zayn sitting at a table near the window, nursing a cup of coffee. Almiron hurried over, his mind racing with thoughts of how to broach the subject.“Hey, Zayn,” Almiron greeted him, sliding into the seat opposite. “Thanks for meeting me.”Zayn looked up, a puzzled expression on his face. “No problem, man. What’s up? You seem kinda on edge.”Almiron took a deep breath, steeling himself for what he was about to say. “Zayn, there’s something I need to tell you. It’s... it’s going to sound crazy, but please hear me out.”Zayn raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. “Okay, shoot. What’s going on?”Almiron glanced around to make sure no one was listening before leaning in closer. “Last night, I raised Maya fr
Chapter twelve Zayn’s words lingered in Almiron’s mind as they left the university, the weight of their conversation heavy on his shoulders. He knew that if he wanted to stand a chance against Daxon, he needed to get better with his powers, to hone his skills until he could wield them with precision and control.As they walked through the streets, Zayn suddenly stopped and turned to Almiron, a determined look in his eyes.“I have an idea,” Zayn said, his voice filled with conviction. “If you want to beat Daxon, you need to get better with your powers. And I think I know just the place to train.”Almiron raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Zayn’s suggestion. “Where?”Zayn grinned mischievously. “The graveyard.”Almiron’s eyes widened in surprise. “The graveyard? Why there?”Zayn shrugged. “Think about it, Almiron. The graveyard is filled with death and darkness, the perfect environment for you to practice your necromancy. Plus, it’s away from prying eyes, so we won’t have to worry about
Chapter thirteen As Almiron woke up and got ready for another day at campus, he exchanged a warm greeting with his father before heading out the door. The morning sun cast a golden glow over the sprawling mansion as Almiron stepped outside, breathing in the crisp air of the new day.“Good morning, Father,” Almiron said with a smile as he passed by his father’s study.“Good morning, Almiron. Have a great day at campus,” his father replied, returning the smile.Almiron nodded, his mind already focused on the day ahead. He made his way to the waiting car, where his driver stood by the open door, ready to escort him to campus.“Good morning young master,” the driver greeted him with a nod.“Morning,” Almiron replied, sliding into the backseat of the luxurious car.“Campus, please,” he instructed the driver, settling back into his seat as the car pulled away from the mansion and onto the familiar streets of the city.As Almiron settled into the plush seat of his father’s luxurious car,
Chapter sixty eight **The Revelation:** Almiron, Jessica, and Zayn stood in the dimly lit alley, their eyes fixed on the mysterious figure before them. "The Director" loomed in front of them, his presence sending shivers down their spines. "We've been expecting you," The Director said, his voice smooth and commanding. Almiron took a step forward, his heart pounding with anticipation. "Who are you?" he demanded, his voice filled with determination. The Director smiled, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "I am the one who pulls the strings," he said cryptically. "The one who controls the shadows." Zayn stepped forward, his gaze steady as he studied The Director. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice steady despite the rising tension. The Director's smile widened, his expression turning cold. "I want power," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "And I will stop at nothing to get it." Almiron's jaw clenched, his fists tightening at his sides. "You're responsible for the muta
Chapter sixty seven **The Mysterious Encounter:** Calvin and his team stood in the dimly lit alley, their eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of their target. They had received intel about a mutant sighting in the area, and they were determined to apprehend it before it could cause any more harm. As they moved cautiously through the alley, their senses on high alert, Calvin couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gripped him. There was something off about this mission – something that he couldn't quite put his finger on. Suddenly, a low growl echoed through the darkness, causing Calvin and his team to freeze in their tracks. They exchanged wary glances, their hands tightening around their weapons as they prepared for whatever was about to come their way. And then, without warning, the mutant lunged out from the shadows, its eyes burning with an otherworldly fury as it charged towards them. Calvin and his team sprang into action, their training kicking in as they
Chapter sixty six **The Elusive Truth:** Calvin paced back and forth in his dimly lit office, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and questions. The mysterious disappearance of the mutant weighed heavily on him, filling him with a sense of unease that he couldn't shake. "We need answers," he muttered to himself, his voice echoing off the walls of the empty room. His team stood by, watching him with concerned expressions as they waited for his next move. They could see the frustration etched on his face, the determination burning in his eyes as he grappled with the mystery that had consumed them all. "We can't let this go," Calvin said, his voice low but firm as he turned to face his team. "We need to find out what happened to that mutant – and we need to do it now." His team nodded in agreement, their expressions mirroring his own as they prepared to embark on their latest mission.

Chapter sixty four **into the darkness:** Almiron, Jessica, and Zayn sat in the dimly lit cafe, their minds abuzz with the recent events. They had just received a mysterious message inviting them to a meeting, promising information about the shadowy organization behind the mutant attacks. Now, as they waited for their contact to arrive, a sense of anticipation hung in the air. “I don’t like this,” Zayn muttered, his eyes darting nervously around the room. “It feels too...calm.” Jessica nodded in agreement, her fingers tapping anxiously on the table. “I can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right,” she said, her voice tinged with unease. Almiron glanced at his companions, his mind racing with possibilities. He knew that they were walking into danger, but he also knew that they had to take the risk – for the sake of the city, and for the sake of all those who had been affected by the organization’s nefarious schemes. Suddenly, the door to the cafe swung open, and
