38.
“Guns? Where is the age
of chivalry? Don’t you think it’s unfair?” Vlad motioned to the guns. “I am
holding a scimitar.”
Lance holstered back
the guns and then held out his hands in front.
“Bring forth the blade
of Lion of Richard.” The request was made and the new streak of shades that
snaked out like the scimitar from the scabbard. Lance held his hands together
and the blade of Lion of Richard formed into a sword on his hands. Both of them
circled each other in the circle but none made any attack then.
“You could use back
your guns if we are going to do this the whole day.” Vlad told Lance then and
when the later was distracted, Vlad charged forth with his scimitar swinging.
Lance deflected the attack but he had to retreat and ended up close to the
edge. His left foot was to step onto Samael’ circle when the other held him
back.
“Do not step out.”
Samael whispered to him.
“Samael, did you not
tell them?” Vlad asked the demon.
“He won’t say. Demons
don’t tell. They only tell when they need to.” It was Aamon who had stepped
into the circle which Samael stepped on. “Let me show you.”
Aamon then raised his
hands as if in a prayer.
It was then all of them
felt the vibrations that shook the chamber. The rows of lighted torches snuffed
out their flames and from the wick of the torch, streaks of lighting appeared.
The lighting streaked out in random designs until they connect and formed a
ring of lightings around the chamber. The walls of the chamber then began to
shimmer and then it began to vibrate as if a quake was in place. The rocks that
were on the walls began to fall off and revealed a glass finishing that
resonated with the lightning streaks. The streaks then was translucent soon
took on the different shades and gave the walls alike to the rainbow shades.
Everything else then was disappearing except the three circles and the mural
overhead.
“Oh,God! He has called
us in.” Samael muttered out when he saw the new exterior which had replaced the
chamber. Outside of the multi shaded walls, there were more streaks of lights
that appeared to be passing by as if the chamber which was moving at high
speed.
“Who?” Vlad asked back
in a loud request. “Is he taking us to Hades?”
“No, he is taking us to
the real Devil himself.”
Samael then felt the
vibrations were subsiding and the multi shades slowly dissipated to duller
shades and then it became translucent. Lance who was still standing there
lowered the dark scimitar to his right side saw beyond the translucent walls
was the void. They were in a large rounded sphere contraption with them
occupying the upper half of the sphere. Below his feet at the design, Lance saw
the reaching hands were replaced with gear knobs and cables. The three designs
they were standing on was a three set of linked gears. He looked upwards and
saw the mural was in fact a set of crystal shards and they were of different
shapes on a hyperbolic contraption hanging there.
A whining sound was
heard and on the center of the interlocking designs a metallic staff appeared.
It pushed up from the flooring towards the hyperbolic contraption. Once it
reached the contraption, the staff then vibrated and a voice was heard. It was
a loud voice and came from outside the sphere. Lance looked out and saw the
gigantic figure facing them from outside the sphere. The figure was dressed in
a red shaded suit and a darker red sash around the waist. The figure was tall
and in comparison to Man, it was double its height. It held a two prong trident
in its right hand with the length above the tall figure. The facial expression
of the tall figure was that was not of a Man with the scales covered forehead
and cheeks to the neck except his nose was two small slit on the protruding
snort and the eyes were two blob below the forehead with the iris in the eyes a
vertical oblong design with green shades. On the forehead were the two curved long
horns that reached to the back of its head.
“Who summoned me?”
“I did, Lucifer.” Aamon
stepped up holding the small box in his arm. “The console here activated the
portal. I have returned.
“And who are you?”
Lucifer asked.
“Lucifer, don’t you
recognize your own? I was known to you as Aamon.”
Aamon was then thrown
to the edge of the circle by the energy force from the trident.
