Return From Damnation A SCARY PLAN
The moon hung high in the night sky as Rowan swung his sword with precision and determination. The training grounds were deserted, everyone else having retired for the night. He had always found solace in the quiet stillness of the night, where he could focus solely on his training without distractions.Unbeknownst to Rowan, Ajatar had silently approached, her eyes fixed on him as he moved through his drills. She watched him for a while, admiring his dedication and skill. It wasn't until he paused, wiping the sweat from his brow, that he finally noticed her presence."Hey," Ajatar greeted softly, her voice carrying on the night breeze.Startled, Rowan turned to face her, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Ajatar, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be resting?"Ajatar shrugged, her gaze lingering on Rowan's sword. "Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd come and keep you company."Rowan sheathed his sword and sat down on a nearby bench, gesturing for Ajatar to join him. She obliged, settling
Return From Damnation LOCKED UP
Rowan, Josh and Ajatar were on their way to the Royal Palace, all huddled together in the darkness. Rowan, who was usually cool-headed, was sweating profusely and his heart was pounding so loudly he was sure the guards could hear it.Josh was nervous too, but he wasn't about to let anyone know it. He kept making silly jokes and trying to lighten the mood. Ajatar, on the other hand, was silent. She always had a scowl on her face and rarely spoke unless it was necessary.As they approached the palace walls, Rowan instructed Josh to stay outside and keep watch. He and Ajatar would climb the walls and make their way to the royal treasury.Using a bow and arrow that Rowan had brought along, they managed to climb the walls without alerting any guards. Once inside, they activated Rowan's shadow veil, which made them invisible to anyone who wasn't looking closely.They made their way through the palace, avoiding guards at every turn, until they arrived at the royal treasury. But as they got c
Return From Damnation WHO WILL FIGHT?
Rowan, Ajatar and Josh were enjoying their time chatting with Mr Jordan's family until Mr Jordan walked in looking incredibly angry. It was as though a dark cloud had just descended on him. Rowan knew something was up, especially when he told him he needed to see him alone. Mr Jordan had a stern look on his face as they stepped outside. Rowan braced himself for whatever was going to come out of Mr Jordan's mouth. "Who really are you guys and what was your mission in this kingdom again?" Mr Jordan asked in a deep voice.Rowan was not prepared for that question, and he was caught off-guard. "We are travelers and we are here for the tournament," Rowan replied, trying to sound as convincing as possible.Mr Jordan did not seem to believe his answer, "And which kingdom are you all coming from?" he asked again.Rowan knew he was in deep trouble as he never bothered to learn the names of kingdoms. "We come from...Uh... excuse me, why all these questions? Did something happen?" he asked nervo
Return From Damnation THE SPAR
Ajatar had been training for several minutes in the woods, her muscles aching but her determination unyielding. As she threw her two short daggers towards the target, her eyes glowed faintly with an orange hue. She was so engrossed in her training that she didn't even notice when Josh arrived on the scene."Hey, Ajatar," Josh greeted her cheerfully.Ajatar paused mid-throw and turned to face him, her expression stony and unyielding. "What are you doing here? Weren't you with Lisa just moments ago?" she asked, her voice filled with anger.Josh was taken aback by her sudden hostility, but he tried to remain calm. "I saw you leaving the house in a hurry and I followed you here to see what was wrong," he explained.Ajatar shrugged dismissively. "Why do you care?" she asked bitterly."What do you mean why do I care? You're my friend, of course, I care," Josh replied, growing more and more frustrated by her attitude."Hah, friends indeed," Ajatar scoffed.This was when Josh's patience start
Return From Damnation CRAZY DAY
It was a hot summer day and Josh was sweating heavily as he trudged towards the pigpen. He could feel his anger boiling up inside him as he remembered Mr Jordan's unfair punishment. His mind grumbled, "How could Mr Jordan do this to me? I hate these grumpy pigs. They are so fat and aggressive."As he approached the pen, the pigs started to snort and grunt loudly, seemingly anticipating their meal. Josh hesitated for a moment, but felt compelled to carry out his task. As he walked towards them with their food, the pigs rushed at him, gleefully scampering and showing their sharp teeth ready to tear him apart.With trembling hands, Josh threw the food into the pigpen as fast as he could, nearly losing his balance as the ravenous pigs tugged at his clothes. He tried to step away but the pigs ran up to the surrounding fence and started bouncing off it wildly. The fence creaked in protest as the pigs violently tried to escape their enclosure, squealing and snorting loudly.Josh was now in a

The opening day of the royal tournament had come, and the excitement in the air was palpable. The kingdom had been buzzing for weeks with anticipation, and today was finally the day when warriors would compete for the chance to become the hand of the king and wield the coveted special sword.Ajatar and Rowan had made their way to the arena, following Jordan and Josh, who were both planning to compete in the tournament. However, Ajatar and Josh were in disguise, as they were fugitives and couldn't risk being recognized. They had donned nondescript clothing and made themselves inconspicuous amongst the throngs of people streaming towards the arena.As they entered the arena, Ajatar and Rowan went to sit in the crowd, while Jordan and Josh made their way towards the warriors' entrance. The crowd was already buzzing with excitement, anticipating what lay ahead. The king and queen sat in their positions of honor, watching from above.Finally, it was time for the tournament to begin. The ki
Return From Damnation ROUND 2
Josh stood up, determined to not let the big guy win. But the big guy continued his violent attacks, sending Josh flying almost outside of the circle again and again. Josh was getting tired and needed to come up with a new plan. He intentionally let the man hit him several times, pretending to be weak and vulnerable. At one point, the big guy thought he could easily hit Josh without him dodging. He swung his shield, but Josh suddenly dodged, and the big guy lost his balance, going one leg out of the circle.Josh saw his opportunity and seized it. With all his might, he rushed forward and bashed the big guy out of the circle completely. The crowd cheered as Josh emerged victorious. The big guy got mad and tried to attack Josh, but Jordan was there to easily take down the guy. "Well done, Josh," Jordan said, patting him on the back. "You showed amazing courage and resilience. You may be small, but you're a fighter."Josh smiled, feeling proud and relieved. He walked away from the circle
Return From Damnation FINAL ROUND
As the contestants made their way back to the arena, there was a sense of anticipation in the air. Everyone had worked hard to make it this far, and now they were about to face their toughest challenge yet. The king stood up from his throne and looked down at the fighters with a stern expression."Welcome back, contestants," he said, his voice booming through the arena. "I hope you all enjoyed your short break, because it's time for the Battle Royal. The rules are simple - all twenty of you will enter the arena at once, and you must fight until there are only two of you left standing. Those two will then face off in a one-on-one battle to determine the winner of this round."Josh stood nervously among the other fighters, feeling a mix of excitement and dread. He had made it this far, but he knew the Battle Royal would be a challenge like no other. He looked over at Jordan, who gave him a reassuring grin."Don't worry, man," Jordan said. "We've got this. We've been training for this our

THE FALL OF LEVIATHAN
Rowan's heart pounded in his chest as he faced off against the towering figure of Leviathan. The dark figure seemed to radiate power and malice, but Rowan refused to back down. He knew he had to buy time for his shadow powers to charge up, and he relied on his speed and agility to keep him out of harm's way.Leviathan swung a massive fist towards Rowan, but with lightning-fast reflexes, Rowan dodged the attack, narrowly avoiding being crushed, thanks to his shadow lightning. The force of Leviathan's punch sent shockwaves through the ground, causing rocks to fly in all directions."You're just a runner, not a fighter," Leviathan taunted, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Once I'm done taking over this city, I'll move on to the next, until the whole world is mine."Rowan gritted his teeth, refusing to let Leviathan's words weaken his resolve. He continued to dodge and slice at Leviathan's feet, causing the giant figure to roar in pain. Leviathan noticed that he was slower in his giant

FINAL BATTLE
As Rowan, Ajatar, and Josh stepped outside with the military commander, they were hit with a sight they never thought they'd see. The transformed people were now overtaking the streets and multiplying like a swarm of zombies. The soldiers on the ground kept firing their guns at them, but they just kept rising, relentless in their pursuit. "Damn it," the military captain muttered, "we need to evacuate everyone right away."Rowan knew he had to act quickly. He created a shadow wall between the demons and civilians, trying to hold them back as much as possible. He knew he couldn't hold it for long, but it was the only option he had at that moment. "Captain, focus on evacuating everyone," Rowan said, his voice urgent, "I'll hold them off for as long as I can."The captain nodded and immediately turned to his team, barking out orders to evacuate everyone as quickly and safely as possible. Rowan focused on maintaining the shadow wall, but he knew it wouldn't last forever. He could already

END OF REYNOLD
Rowan was currently heading to Captain Reynold's office. In a fit of fury, Rowan stormed through the corridors of the building, his footsteps echoing loudly against the stone walls. His mind raced with anger and confusion as he approached Captain Reynold's office. Guards stationed outside the door instinctively moved to block his path, their hands gripping their guns tightly."Stand aside!" Rowan bellowed, his voice filled with venom. "I need to speak with Captain Reynold immediately!"The guards hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to handle Rowan's sudden aggression. But before they could react, Rowan raised his hands, summoning his shadow powers. The darkness around him seemed to come alive, swirling and shifting until it took the form of several sharp shadow spears."Move or suffer the consequences," Rowan threatened, his eyes glowing with a dangerous intensity.Realizing the gravity of the situation, the guards quickly stepped aside, fear etched across their faces. Rowan wasted

FIRST KISS?
" That's one of your setbacks, Josh." Ajatar interrupted Josh. " You don't believe in yourself. You can hardly make up your mind. You feel like you are not good enough." She added." Am I?..." Josh asked.Ajatar never replied, she just leaned in and kissed Josh.Josh's eyes widened. " Woah!" He exclaimed. " I know it is not your first kiss, but I hope I did great." Ajatar asked." Yeah sure, that felt great." Josh commented, looking down, scared of making eye contact." I know you must miss her." Ajatar stated.Josh sighed, " yeah I do miss her, and am sure she misses me too." He lamented.The two parties were silent for a while before Josh broke the silence. " You know, I had always thought you hated me." He said.Ajatar sighed, " I must admit that at first, I hated you, but I didn't hate you in particular, I hated all holy beings. I saw them as beings full of pride. But after living with you all this while, I saw humility for the first time in a holy being." She explained." Can I

THE PRANK
Rowan, Ajatar, Max and Josh, were currently enjoying their stay in Los Angeles. The authorities had looked for a foster mother for the orphan baby. As they all felt relaxed, a soldier suddenly showed up. He told Rowan that there was an emergency, stating that a group of transformed people had broken into the walls of the city. Rowan rushed out, the sword in his arm at the ready. The rest of the group followed behind.Upon arrival, Rowan saw five transformed people, attacking the city. The soldiers shot their bullets, but no weapon could kill those demons except the sword Rowan was carrying. Rowan quickly ran towards the commotion and quickly chopped off the body parts of the demons. The demons quickly fell down and died. However, the last one was proving difficult to kill as he had super speed abilities. Unfortunately, he couldn't fly and could only use his feet to be fast, so Rowan spreaded his shadow on the ground, making the demon's movement slower. The demon recognized the a

THREE BEAUTIES (TWO)
The group of guards stood on the watchtower, looking out for any sign of transformed people to gun them down before they spread the disease. Suddenly, they saw three pregnant women approaching. The guards looked at each other, thinking about how weird the situation was. As the women got closer, they grew uglier and uglier. When the three women got close enough to the gates, the guards asked them to halt and asked what was their mission. One of the youngest women stepped in front and replied that they needed a place to stay and safely give birth. The guard asked if they were infected and she refuted. The guard asked why the woman's voice sounded strange. And she said she had a cough. The guard asked them to wait. As they waited, a small part of the gate opened, and a guard came out with a cross, then he pointed it in front of each and everyone of them. He concluded that the women were not infected as they didn't react to the cross. He asked them to go in. As the woman walked toward

THREE BEAUTIES
" What happened? Why were you there alone? Where are the rest of the survivors?" Ajatar asked, taking the baby from Max's hand, who seemed attracted to her.Max sighed." The demons attacked us and killed everyone including Mr Byrde. I managed to escape with this baby because somehow, I figured that these beings were scared of the cross." Max replied." Well, that is sad to hear. Who's baby is that?" Rowan asked." We met her mother on the way and she joined our group, only to get killed." Max replied with a tinge of sadness in his voice.He took a deep breath. " Look guys, about earlier, I am sorry for the way I treated you. We should have come with you guys. I mean.., I never thought you guys would still be alive, but here you are, meanwhile, the rest of the survivors are gone." He said, feeling guilty " You were just trying to do what was best for the group, and besides, the group made their choice to follow your words over Mr Byrde's." Ajatar said." Thanks," Max said, smiling at

TRIP TO LA
"How did they get these abilities?" Ajatar asked as she kicked away one of the transformed people."I don't know, but we have to find a way out of here," Rowan replied as he swung his sword at another transformed person. " They will keep coming." He added.Josh looked at Rowan and said, "I agree. Let's get in the car and head to Las Vegas as planned." With that, they quickly got into the car and began their journey to Los Angeles?The Demons lunged at their vehicle, trying to stop it and break in, but they were knocked down and trampled upon."That was intense," Josh said as he drove through the deserted streets of New York City."Definitely," Rowan agreed. "But we need to stay alert. We don't know what's waiting for us in Las Vegas."Ajatar was silent and suddenly spoke. " Wait, are you the one who will drive us to LA?" She asked Josh." Yeah, why not? Are you suddenly scared? The great Ajatar is scared?" Josh teased, however he couldn't tease anymore when he felt a dagger behind hi

NEW YORK ZOMBIES
" Where are you from, out of space?" The man asked, leaving Rowan perplexed. " The first city that was affected by the virus was New York, and I am very sure that nothing lives there apart from the fully transformed.Rowan furrowed his brow, " the affected? what are we talking about?" Rowan asked." Huh? Do you mean you are unaware of what is going on in the world?" The old man asked.Rowan sighed, " actually, you were right when you said we were from another world or realm. Whatever is going on in the world now, is not a virus." Rowan said.This new found information left the old man confused even more. " Then how would you explain the transformation of normal people into blood sucking…. Is it vampires or demons?" The old man asked." All of that was caused by a very powerful Demon. He is gathering an army by transforming people into Demons." Rowan explained." Who is the Demon you are talking about and how can we stop him?" The old man asked, his curiosity piqued."That is why I ne
