Chapter four
Red maple leaves falls to the ground as almiron sits at his usual spot in the classroom near the window staring outside once again paying no attention to the class that’s going on.Worrying about what happened the previous day as after he saw james bradwich in his car, after classes he went to go see a holy priest and what happened after that was what was stuck in his mind. As he sits there he thinks about what happened as images of the past flash in his head, he remembers.Driving into the the church he packs the car and shuts of the engine, then exiting the car as he looks at the church building.‘Its been a while I’ve been here.’ He says to himself while walking towards the entrance.He enters the church and meets the priest on the altar on his knees praying as he takes a seat and waits patiently until he is done. The priest looks at him putting a smile on his face while getting up and inviting him to his office.“Father.” He says while taking a sit“Almiron my boy, it’s been so long.” He puts down his bible“Its good to see you again.” says the priest“Same here father, but I have a small issue that needs your attention.”“Ok let me hear it.”“How do I say this....... so much has happened to me lately, but I’ll keep it short, since yesterday I have been seeing spirits.”“hmmm, and what do this spirits look like.?”“Well I dont really know if their spirits but they look like dead people, rotten corpses.” Says almiron“And has any of this spirits tried to attack you.?”“No, I see them at first then before I can do anything their gone.”“hmmm, ok let us pray.” He says while stretching both his hands towards almironHe takes his both hands and they both close their eyes as they bow their heads to pray“Almighty god we come to you here this evening.” He saysThen the priest is interrupted by the evil spiritual aura coming from almiron, he then looks closer while still holding his hands and behind him was a skull like figure.Almiron noticed that he stopped and looks at him only to see him sweating and his eyes in fear.“holy mary!.” He says while getting his cross and holy water.“What’s wrong?.” He says while taking a look back, but sees nothing.“Y-You need to leave.”“I have some work that I need to get done with and I need to attend to other people.” The priest says while paranoid“But what abou.” He was interrupted by the priest“I will pray to the almighty on your behalf but you need to leave now.” The priest said to him“Ok ok.” He says as he gets up to leaveAs almiron left the room the priest felt the air lighting up and he felt a bit of ease as he sprays holy water around.“Hmmmm.” Almiron sighed as he snaps back to the present. Looking around he realized that once again he had missed another class session.He gets up and leaves the class with zayn as they talk about the fact that he wasn’t paying attention in class again.Daxon couldn’t make it to class because he made up his mind the previous day to go in search of a third part-time job to raise enough money to treat his sister.Daxon gets back home as all the job hunting he went for came to no avail. He enters the living room with a down face as he missed his classes and still couldn’t get another job. He gets up and heads towards his room but not failing to stop by and say hello to his sister.“Hey jas.” He says while opening her room door but finds her fast asleep, he gently closes the door and heads towards his. He enters his room and heads straight to his desk as he grabs his laptop on the way, he puts on his side lamp and was about to use his computer when suddenly he stops and buries his face in the middle of his hands“Bastard.” He says to himselfAs the thought about how the demon didn’t keep to his end of the contract kept ringing in his head, he looks up straight at the wall and says.“Am going to save you at all cost.”He was then about to use his computer again when he noticed something unusual, he noticed that the side lamp shadow did not have the shape of the lamp, the shadow had an unusual form and the disturbing fact was that it was vibrating.“The hell..” he says while he stretches his hands towards the lampThen suddenly his hand attracted the shadow of the lamp like a magnet and the side lamp no longer had a shadow.In horror he jumps out of his chair looking surprise“Where are you.?” He calls out thinking the demon was thereAnd with no reply his eyes focuses on the lamp again as it shadow had returned. Drawing the attention of him he moves closer to his desk and while doing so he noticed each time he came closer to the lamp the shadow lost its shape more and more and keeps vibrating faster, once again he stretched his hand towards it and noticed that the shadows came to him and he was the cause of it losing its shape.“Huh.”He stops for a while still trying to process what is happening at that moment, then he puts his hand in the light as it cast a shadow on his desk, he looks at the shadow while showing a little concentration he’s arm shadow moves over to the other hand and the hand in the light didn’t have a shadow anymore. Once again he freaks out while getting up in fear he looks around once more and calms himself while taking a sit again, he opens his laptop and searched up shadow magic on G****e and the results shocked him as at the end of the search the name argun and he decides to look deeper into it as he finds out strange things he never new about.The next day he wakes up as he realizes that he spent almost the whole night researching about shadow magic. He sits up to an upright position while itching his eyes, then he takes a look at his phone then gets up and heads to the bathroom. He gets dressed for one of his part-time job and was ready to leave before he stopped at his sister door to say hello.“Hey you up?, am leaving for work, theres some left over in the fridge.” He says to jasmine as he sees shes still fast asleepHe looks over to the side of her bed and sees some tissues covered with blood, he walk in to help dispose of the used tissues then he takes a glance at her.“Hey you good?.”He gently taps her on the arm. He taps her again and he noticed there was no movement coming from her.“Jasmine!.”He shakes her body a little before bringing her hands out and feeling the veins on her wrists confirming if she is dead or alive.“Thank god.” He says to himself as he confirms her heartbeat.Without wasting any time he pulls his phone out and calls 911.After a while the paramedics comes in as they take jasmine to the hospital and daxon follows, they get to the hospital and after sometime daxon speaks to the doctor in charge of jasmine, he tells daxon that his sister’s condition had reached it finally stage and he needs to start the operation immediately or she stands a chance of dying.Now he’s main problem was the fact that he didn’t have the money so he told the doctor he would go and look around for the money. He left the hospital at once in search of payment.Daxon called his only friend at college asking him to learned him some money but unfortunately for him his friend was dead broke at that moment so he couldn’t help him, and he had no other friends and had no family members to reach out tooThen as he stood there thinking about different ways to get the money a particular name came across his mind,‘Almiron’He remembered that almiron was one of the richest people in that college, he knew he had to swallow his ego and ask him for help after all it’s his sister’s life on the line.He enters a cab and heads towards the school. Getting to his college in little time he pays off the cab driver and hops out of the car going in search of almiron.On his way in he sights zayn talking with maya and decides to approach them, then while approaching them he noticed something unusual about zayn, he noticed that even while he was standing in the light he had no shadow and that shocked daxon because everyone around him all had a shadow apart from zayn, he found that weird but had other important issues at hand.“Hey man.” He says while walking up to zayn“You seen almiron around?.”“And why do you care.?” Maya asked“Can we talk separately?.” He says while directing the question to zayn“Give me a moment maya.” Zayn tells maya as she gives them space to talk.“What?..”“I need your help.” Says daxon.“And why would you need my help?.” Zayn asked“My sister, shes in the ICU man and I need some cash for the doctors to operate on her.”While Daxon was explaining a smirk appeared on zayn face like he was enjoying the show.“Hmmm and what makes you think I would help you, I mean I don’t even know you.” He says“C’mon man if your still annoyed about the other day at the eatery am sorry and I’ll apologise to your friend too, please just help me out.” He says while pleading“No.” Zayn says“Somethings just cant be broken, the pain would pass.” He says while turning around and walking away.Daxon standing there in shock quickly snaps out of it and was about to leave and find another way to get the money then suddenly his phone rang.‘RING!!’“doctor am still worki.” He is interrupted by the doctor on the phone“I’m sorry, she’s dead.” The doctor said“Huh... w-what do you mean?..”“I’m really sorry.”Daxon eyes widened in surprise as he stood there shaking from the news he just received.He gently starts walking away as tears are gushing down his eyes“Why?”.. he asked himself“Why does it have to be her.” He slowly walks out of the building as he’s shadow starts vibrating.He kneels down at the entrance of the college as people work by.‘I’ve lost everything.’CHAPTER FIVEIt'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 th
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
