In the midst of the council meeting, the doors flew open with a crash, and a tall, hooded figure strode into the room. The figure was tall and imposing, their face hidden by the shadows cast by their hood. 

Their robes were black as night, and their boots clacked loudly against the stone floor. The members of the council froze in terror, their hearts pounding in their chests. 

No one spoke, as they waited for the figure to speak. Finally, the figure's deep, powerful voice rang out, filling the chamber with its echo. "I bring a message from beyond the veil," they said. The voice was not a one person voice, it was multiple. 

As the figure's words hung in the air, the members of the council began to recover from their initial shock. One by one, they began to collect their thoughts and speak. "Who are you?" demanded one council member, their voice trembling with fear. 

The figure turned their gaze to them, and they felt as if their very soul was being laid bare. "I am a messenger from the realm beyond," the figure replied, their voice like thunder. "I am here to tell you that change is coming, and it will not be stopped.".

The council members looked at one another, their faces pale with dread. They had heard tales of the realm beyond, and they knew that it was a place of chaos and madness. "What kind of change?" asked another council member, their voice barely above a whisper. 

The figure's hooded head turned to them, and they felt their heart skip a beat. "The kind that will shake the foundations of this world," the figure replied. "It is a change that will usher in a new age, and none of you will be able to stop it." They spoke with boldness shown in their voice. 

As the figure spoke these words, their form began to waver and shimmer, as if they were made of light rather than flesh and blood. The council members gasped in disbelief as the figure slowly faded from view, until they were no longer there. 

The only trace of their presence was a faint, acrid smell of smoke and brimstone, which quickly dissipated, leaving the chamber silent and still. No one knew what to make of what they had just witnessed, but one thing was certain: the world would never be the same.

For several minutes, the council members remained silent, their minds reeling from the encounter. Finally, one of them spoke, their voice quavering with emotion. "What do we do now?" they asked. 

Another council member shook their head, their eyes filled with fear. "I don't know," they replied. "But we must be prepared for whatever comes next. We cannot afford to be caught off guard." The others nodded in agreement, knowing that they were facing a challenge unlike any they had faced before.

"Enough!" Athena shouted, silencing the nervous chatter around the table. "This fear is unbecoming of a council of your stature! We cannot sit here and cower in the face of this challenge. We must take action and make a plan." She fixed her gaze on Everett, the leader of the council. 

"You must undergo the same transformation that Darryl went through," she said, her voice firm. "Only then will we know what we are truly up against." Everett looked at her, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. 

"Are you in your right state of sense?" he asked in shock.

"I am in my normal self," Athena replied, her eyes burning with conviction. "I am simply doing what must be done to ensure our survival. If we do not know what Darryl has become, we cannot hope to defend ourselves. You must put aside your fear and do what is necessary." Everett looked around the table, the faces of his fellow council members filled with worry and uncertainty. 

He took a deep breath, and nodded. "Very well," he said. "I will undergo the transformation." Athena nodded, a small smile of relief on her face. "Thank you," she said.

As Darryl walked through the forest, he heard a strange rustling in the underbrush. He froze, his heart pounding in his chest. As he looked around, a shadow emerged from the trees, approaching him. The figure was tall and hooded, and Darryl felt a wave of fear wash over him. "What do you want?" he asked, his voice trembling. The figure didn't respond, but instead reached out a hand towards him. Darryl tried to run, but his feet seemed frozen to the ground.

As the figure's hand drew closer, Darryl felt a strange tingling sensation in his chest. It grew stronger and stronger, until it felt like his entire body was on fire. Suddenly, he saw a bright light flash before his eyes, and then everything went black. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground, gasping for breath. The forest was gone, and he was back in the chamber where the council had gathered. The figure was nowhere to be seen. Darryl slowly sat up, his head spinning. What had just happened?

Darryl looked around the chamber, trying to make sense of what had just occurred. Had the whole thing been a dream? Or had he truly been transported somewhere else? And where was the mysterious figure? As he pondered these questions, he heard the sound of the approaching footsteps.

As Darryl stood up, he felt someone watching him with an unreadable expression. It was Hugo, the genius in technology and cultivation area

"Darryl," he said, his voice calm and reassuring. "Are you alright?" Darryl nodded, his eyes still clouded with confusion. 

"I'm not sure," he said. "What happened? I feel like I've been in a dream, or something." Hugo stepped forward, placing a hand on his shoulder. 

"Come with me," he said. "I think I can explain." He grabbed his hand and took him to his laboratory. 

Hugo led Darryl through the winding corridors of the laboratory building, until they reached a small, dimly lit chamber. "I know you have many questions," Hugo said, as he sat down on a low bench. "But first, I need to explain a few things to you." Darryl sat across from him, feeling a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. 

"Go on," he said. "I'm ready to hear what you have to say." Hugo took a deep breath, and began to speak. "You must understand that there is more to this world than meets the eye," he saidbut he couldn't really understand what he meant. 

"There are forces at work in this world that we cannot fully comprehend," Hugo continued. "And there are beings who are not human, but who are just as real as we are. Some of these beings are benevolent, and some are malevolent. The being you encountered, the one you called Moloch , is one of the latter." Darryl's eyes widened in shock. 

"But...he's not real," he said. "He can't be." Hugo shook his head. 

"He is real, and he is very dangerous," he said. "But you must not fear him." Hugo tried to give him courage, but Darryl couldn't help the fear that kept visiting him. 

"Would I be to win the battle when we meet? One of us has to die, won't I die in place of him?" Darryl asked with fear invading him heart. 

"You have to get over this, Everett is trying to go through the process you took. He is trying to become as powerful as you, as immortal as you. You have to stop him when he's back." Hugo risehd

"Everett has been working in secret," Hugo said, his voice urgent. "He is attempting to undergo the same transformation that you did, in order to gain the same powers that you have. But he is not prepared for the consequences of such a transformation. If he succeeds, he will become a force of great evil, and he will be a danger to us all." Darryl's eyes widened with fear. "We have to stop him," he said. 

"But how?" Hugo met his gaze, his expression grim. "I believe you have the power to do it," he said.

Darryl thought for a moment, his mind racing. The stakes were high, and the consequences of failure were unimaginable. But if they did nothing, the consequences would be even worse. 

Finally, he spoke. "I will do it," he said, his voice steady. "I will stop Everett, no matter what the cost. I will save us all." Hugo nodded, a look of fierce determination on his face. 

"Then let us prepare," he said. "For the battle of our lives. We will begin with starting your cultivation, you have just three days to meet Moloch, let's pray Everett will take a long time before he's back." Hugo suggested, but Darryl's heart was still troubled. 

Darryl felt a knot of fear in his stomach, as he thought of the task that lay before him. "I don't know if I can do this," he said, his voice low and trembling. "It's too much, I'm not ready." Hugo's expression softened, and he placed a hand on Darryl's shoulder.

"You are stronger than you know," he said, his voice gentle but firm. "You have faced challenges before, and you have always risen to meet them. This will be no different." He encouraged him and it seemed to be working on Darryl a little.
