Foggy: Guardian Of The End

Chapter 8

Korth-ral, Lauthel, Reylei, the doctor and Kyar all sat in the living room after the meal at the dining room.

"Hey Korth-ral!" Reylei broke the silence among the people.

"Yes" Korth-ral answered

"You said you wanted to tell us a story." Reylei said.

"Oh, yes" Korth-ral itched his eyes as he scrubbed it lightly with two of his cat-like claws. His appearance was like that of a werecat, a big cat with glowing face, he had scales on his back, that was strong like the shell of a tortoise. There were few strands of hair on his face and his eyes glowed blue colour, and that flamed when he gets angry.

"I remember. I didn't forget, and I was about saying it too." He cleared his throats and started. "Lauthel here is suffering from the foggy curse truly, but it has to do with two creatures."

"Two creatures?" The doctor asked.

"Yes" Korth-ral answered as he continued. "Lauthel Kaul that we all knew. He was involved in a battle for my sake and maybe the community's. In the fight, he was slaughtering and overpowering them until Theuz, son of a demi-god struck him in the heart with the ancient black moonstone. The most deadly tool for wsr. It was used on a single creature and y'all know the outcome of such event."

"What is the outcome please?" Lauthel asked softly and scoffed. "Not everyone here knows the outcome, I guess" he scoffed again.

"The ancient black moonstone was just a gemstone, found in the far end of the moon, in the acient days, by seven gods, after our world got stabilized by the great God of the unvarying earth. When the seven gods toiled on the moon for more power, this gods found out that the moonstone could be manipulated and used for a greater purpose, they took it back here among men. The men and the gods lived together before. They ordered men to work on how to make the gemstone useful. They appointed the strongest men, who were gifted with more magic than others by the higher gods. The seven gods slaughtered blood of men from seven planets and gods from the multiverse, took their powers and combined the moonstones together, then the gods made sure the moonstones outgrew ordinary to extraordinary and through that, the moonstone became one destructive weapon that anyone who went too near to it, it gave them extraordinary powers and made them became almost like the gods. The men who worked on the moonstone went near it and became god-like, who we now call the demi-gods. The greedy demi-gods wanted all the gemstone for themselves and shattered one of hundred of the moonstone, took it for themselves, slayed themselves and few of them that remained shared the black moonstone and used it to wage wars against other worlds and themselves too.

The seven gods ascended into the stars and stayed above the moon, below the higher gods and the great God too."

"Whoa! The black moonstone was with the demi-gods right?" Lauthel asked.

"Yes" Korth-ral answered.

"How then did it get to the hands of men. Because you said your beast looking Lauthel Kaul was killed by the moonstone."

"The demi-gods are trapped in the deep dungeon but their offsprings live on. And also some of the black moonstone can still be found in Desert." Kyar narrated.

"You mean the dry hot land?" Lauthel asked again.

"No. Desert is a place that is forbidden for everyone in this world to go. Only the demi-gods can go there and come back alive. The men that went there didn't seem come back. So Theuz, is a son of one of the demi-gods and his father gave him a little of the black moonstone, and he struck Lauthel with it which claimed his soul." Korth-ral sighed and continued. "When Starle, the doctor went to bring back Lauthel that we knew, she mentioned the name Lauthel Kaul to the gatekeeper of the passover world. And the name was triple at that moment which brought you, Lauthel Kaul from another world into ours. Now our own known Lauthel Kaul is in the afterlife and you are here and you can't return to your world. You should be having his memories in your head" Korth-ral spoke directly to only Lauthel. "You share his body and organs, only your soul differs and you should be able to access his powers, strength and magic ilc."

"What's all this story all about please?" Lauthel asked with pained and stressed voice. "You mean to tell me that I cannot return to my own normal body and stay trapped in this beast?" He stretched his arms and took a look at it. He checked his body again and gave a disgusted and irritated face. "This world and everything. I don't want it, I just want to go back home, okay."

"I don't know which world you came from yet, but I think you should make some little adjustment and match yourself with the people in this world." The doctor said in a soft low tone.

"Yes, I think you should know that a lot of people are really looking up to Lauthel Kaul as their demi-god, even a role model, you are also a captain to an army of five thousands and also a guardian" Kyar added.

"Guardian?" Lauthel exclaimed.

"Yes boss, you are a guardian of the unvarying earth, which has been a title passed down from your great grandfather, who led the army that trapped the demi-god into the deep dungeon, when the demi-gods tried to end life from the unvarying earth." Reylei responded to Lauthel's exclaim.

"All this burden is on your Lauthel." Lauthel said, surprised.

"No, it's not a burden, it's an honour. To the country, the community, the family and you. lauthel Kaul." Korth-ral said. "You have to learn our ways from the base and in a short time, because it is almost the end of the world. For us and for the unvarying earth. The deep dungeon is almost broken. The demi-gods were put to sleep by your great grandfather and they are to sleep for just 500 years and it remains just few period for the hell to break loose and when they are awake, they will break down the deep dungeon in just a little time and then the hell will unleash it's violence on us all." Korth-ral said and sighed heavily with his head turned down.

"Oh God. What the fuck? But please can I change this beast form like that guy, Reylei did at the shrine?" Lauthel said and rolled his eyes.

"That place is an hospital, Lauthel!" The doctor said.

"Yes you can, but the teachers have to teach you how." Korth-ral said and stood up, walked towards Lauthel and they all walked out of the house.
