Moloch stood before the council, his gaze cold and calculating. The members of the council trembled with fear, knowing that their lives were in his hands. He was here even before they called for him, if he had came about five minutes earlier he would have met Darryl.
"Please, Moloch," Everett said, his voice quivering. "We need your help. Darryl is too powerful, and we cannot stop him on our own." Athena nodded, tears in her eyes.
"We will do anything you ask, just please help us," Athena joined in the pleading, Luke it was a contest.
Moloch looked at them, his expression unreadable. "Very well," he said, his voice like ice. "But know this: I do not do this out of kindness. I do it for my own ends."
The council members looked at each other, their eyes wide with terror. "What do you mean?" Athena asked, her voice barely a whisper. "You will find out soon enough," Moloch replied, his lips curling into a cruel smile.
"But for now, I need you to gather all the information you have on Darryl. I need to know everything about him, from his childhood to his recent activities."
Everett nodded, his hands trembling. "We will do as you ask," he said. "Just please, don't hurt us." He grinned excitedly.

Hugo approached Darryl, his face pale and drawn. "There is someone here to see you," he said, his voice trembling. "Someone who claims to know you." Darryl turned to face him, a look of puzzlement on his face.
"Who is it?" he asked.
"His name is Moloch," Hugo said.
Darryl's eyes narrowed, and a chill ran down his spine. "I know that name," he said, his voice low and dangerous. "I will see him." Hugo nodded, and led Darryl to the room where Moloch was waiting.
As Darryl entered the room, he saw Moloch standing by the window, his back to the door. "So, you've finally decided to face me," Moloch said, his voice cold and mocking.
"It's about time." Darryl's fists clenched at his sides. "I don't know who you are, or what you want," he said, his voice tight with anger. "But I'm not afraid of you." Moloch turned to face him, his eyes burning with intensity.
"You should be, you are a demon but I'm a god." he said with the mixture and thunder and bunsen flame in his eyeballs.
"Have you ever died and woke up? I slept in the grave for a thousand of years!" He almost shouted. He moved to him with electric sparking from his body.
"While you were sleeping in the grave, I was cultivating and training hard for your arrival!" Moloch fired back.
"You think you're so powerful, but you're nothing compared to me," Moloch said, his voice dripping with contempt.
"I have powers you could never imagine." Darryl stepped forward, his eyes blazing.
"You underestimate me," he said, his voice low and menacing. "I am a warrior, and I will not be cowed by the likes of you." Moloch laughed, a harsh and bitter sound.
"You are a child, playing at being a man," he said. "I have seen things you could not begin to comprehend." Moloch snarled but Darryl wasn't moved, he was confident in his power.
As Darryl reached out to grab Moloch, a blinding flash of light erupted between them. The world seemed to shudder around them, and for a moment, everything was still. And then, the ground began to shake, and the walls began to crack.Darryl and Moloch both staggered back, the force of the blast knocking them off their feet. When they looked up, they saw that the world around them had changed. The walls of the room were gone, and they found themselves standing in a vast, empty expanse.
Darryl looked around in wonder, his eyes wide. The sky above them was a swirling vortex of colors, and the ground beneath their feet was made of a strange, pulsing energy. And then, he heard a low, rumbling voice from somewhere in the distance.
"Welcome, Darryl," the voice said, its tone deep and resonant.
"I have been waiting for you." Darryl turned to Moloch, his expression one of confusion and fear.
"What is this place?" he asked. "And who is speaking to us?" He inquired curiously, his heart was pounding heavily.
Moloch was silent for a moment, and then he spoke, his voice trembling with awe. "We are in the Realm of the Ancients," he said.
"And the one who speaks to us is the Great One, the Creator of all things." Darryl's eyes widened in shock.
"But...that's impossible," he said. "The Great One is just a myth, a legend. He can't be real." Moloch turned to face him, his eyes gleaming with an otherworldly light.
"I have seen the Great One with my own eyes," he said.
The voice spoke again, its tone now ominous and foreboding. "When you next meet, one of you must die," it said. "If you both live, the fabric of the universe will be torn asunder, and all that you know will be destroyed." Darryl and Moloch exchanged a look of horror, their faces pale with fear.
They both knew that they must face each other again, and that only one of them could survive. But neither of them knew if they had the strength to do what must be done.
The swirling colors around them began to swirl faster, and then, with a rush of wind and light, they found themselves back in the room where they had started. The walls were intact, and everything was as it had been. But they both knew that nothing would ever be the same. Darryl turned to face Moloch, his heart pounding in his chest. "What now?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper. Moloch looked at him, his eyes filled with sorrow.
"We must prepare," he said. "For the end is coming. No matter what happens, both of us must meet, and that day one of us would die." Moloch said with pity shown in his voice.
Darryl and Moloch spent the next few weeks in training, honing their skills and preparing for the inevitable confrontation. They both knew that when the time came, only one of them would survive.But neither of them knew which one it would be. As the days passed, Darryl felt himself becoming more and more distant from the world around him. He found himself thinking about the people he had left behind, and he wondered if he would ever see them again. And then, one day, the call came, a date to the fight day came, Darryl's body trembled she was scared to hear or looking at the date...
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
Darryl sat alone in his room, his mind whirling with doubt and fear. He had never felt so overwhelmed, so unprepared for what lay ahead. But then he heard a voice, gentle and clear, that cut through the darkness of his thoughts. "You are stronger than you know," it said. Darryl looked up, and saw Hugo standing in the doorway. "I can help you prepare for what is to come," Hugo said. "If you are willing to put in the work, you can face any challenge that comes your way"."I confide in you, Hugo." He whispered with a smile across his face. ••••Back in the council chambers, the members were gathered around the table, their faces grave and solemn. Suddenly, the doors burst open like before, and Moloch strode into the room. The members gasped, as the air crackled with energy. "I have come to offer my services," Moloch said, his voice booming. "I can help you defeat the darkness that threatens your world." The members of the council looked at each other, unsure of what to do. "Why should
The air hung heavy with tension as Aria and Sasha stood facing each other, their eyes locked in a battle of wills. Finally, Aria looked down, her shoulders sagging. "I'm sorry," she whispered. "I was afraid, and I made a mistake." Sasha regarded her for a moment, her expression unreadable. "I forgive you," she said, her voice softening. "But you must understand that trust is something that must be earned." With those words, the tension began to dissipate, and she was able to breathe again.As Sasha, Athena, and Aria set out on their journey, they knew that the road ahead would be difficult and dangerous. But they were determined to succeed, no matter what the cost.The moon hung high in the sky, its silver light casting shadows on the forest floor. A lone figure moved through the trees, their steps silent and swift. The figure was tall and lean, clad in dark robes that blended into the night. Their face was hidden beneath a hood, but their eyes glittered with a fierce intelligence. T
Darryl tried to sit up, but the Sorceress placed a hand on his chest and pushed him back down. "Stay where you are," she said, her voice cold and menacing."You're in no condition to move." Darryl struggled against her grip, but it was no use. He was weak and exhausted, and the Sorceress's power was too great."What do you want from me?" he asked, his voice shaking with fear."I want you to understand the error of your ways," the Sorceress replied, her eyes gleaming with malice.Darryl stared at the Sorceress, his mind racing. "You're wrong," he said, his voice shaky but defiant. "I'm not going let me stop you from destroying this world. There's still hope, and I won't give up on it." The Sorceress let out a cruel laugh, her voice mocking. "You are a fool, to believe that hope can win against the forces of darkness," she said. "But I'll let you keep believing, if it makes you feel better. It won't change the outcome.""I don't believe you," Darryl said, his eyes blazing with defiance
The sorceress chuckled. "Nay, you laid eyes on naught but an enchantment, woven by the fiendish Moloch to crush your resolve. For a millennium, he has held her captive, biding his time until you arrived, intending to manipulate you through her. Should he fail in slaying you, he would twist her into his tool to bring about your ruin." Darryl trembled atop the coarse table, a tempest of dread raging in his mind. Fear coursed through his veins, his heart drumming a panicked beat against his chest, and his thoughts churned in a whirlpool of fright.Darryl's voice quivered as he pleaded, "Have you any knowledge of her whereabouts? Did your very own peepers behold her existence, to confirm her survival?" His hope fluttered like a fragile butterfly in a storm.A sardonic guffaw emanated from the enchantress's pursed lips, stretching into a wicked grin. "I saw her but once, imprisoned in a cave," she taunted. "Her mind seemed adrift, counting stones like a counting machine. Her limbs, shackl
Let Them Go! Shera knelt before Moloch's throne, head bowed in deference. "Master," he murmured, "your enemies have been uncovered. They are cunning and resourceful, but they cannot match your might." Moloch's crimson eyes narrowed, their malevolent gaze boring into Shera's cowering form. "Fools," he growled, his voice like the rumble of a volcanic eruption. "No one challenges my dominion and lives to tell the tale." Moloch's eyes glinted with a predatory gleam. "I sense a thirst for knowledge, my faithful servant. Enlighten me - who dares to challenge me?" He leaned forward in anticipation, his voice dripping with ominous promise."Darryl, the one whom was foretold to be reincarnated thousand years ago." Shera announced, Moloch couldn't help but chuckle.Moloch chortled, his laughter echoing through the chamber. "Ah, Darryl... the fabled chosen one, returned from the mists of time. Spare me the histrionics, Shera. This Darryl is nothing more than a nuisance - a fly buzzing around
"Moloch's territory was impenetrable," Darryl said, his voice tinged with frustration. "I had searched high and low for my wife, using my brain and every technological resource I had at my disposal, but I hadn't been able to get a single clue. I couldn't even get close. But then, as we ventured deeper into the heart of his territory, something changed. A subtle shift in the air, a tingle at the back of my neck." He looked at Moran, his eyes full of hope. "What do you think it means?""I did mention it to you, didn't I?" she said, an amused smirk spreading across her face. She sat down and picked up her robe, which had pooled at her feet. "Although I can understand if you didn't quite catch the memo, since you were preoccupied with other matters." "It's hard to believe that you're one of us now, Moran," Darryl said, his eyes locked on hers. There was an unspoken question in his gaze, as if he were trying to gauge her sincerity."I've proved more than I can to you, that I'm no longer h
"Calm down, child," she said, her voice dismissive. "He'll be fine. This is for his own good. He needs to be cleansed and purified. Just for the days would do, and he would be as powerful as Darryl, trust me." "I would never trust you, but you've got to believe me, if Everett doesn't return in the given range time, you would not live to see the next sunrise." Aria threatened her, her face was bloody red. It was flustered with trouble. Athena smirked as Aria walked past her, hitting her with her tiny shoulders. Even though Aria's powers can never match with hers, still, his heart kept pounding in fear. "That little bitch can't pose as a threat to me," She tried to calm herself down. But she knew what Aria can do, she's never to be trusted. "Everett would surely resurrect, so there's nothing to be afraid for.""I can't just standby and watch that selfish lady get what she wants. She wants to use Everett for her own gain, she wants the system all to herself. I'll stop her, by all mean
