Chapter 21: Revelation; guilt

With Kia super god mode, he could not land a punch on James, James was just dancing , having fun with him.

But the hustle got serious when Lord Agus beast appeared and it was on the side of the demons.

They all tried calming it but it was not working, they were all bleeding and getting drained of their life.

They were all left on the floor to die out so the vultures could feed on their dead body.

“My boss would return” the beast said as it transformed into a human just like them.

Peter woke up from his sleep sweating and panting as he found it difficult to breath.

He looked around and he could spot both Mary and Kia, few distance from him, gist and laughing.

Just then he overheard them again

“I am just happy he is deep in sleep, I would not be able to sacrifice him if he was awake”

“Sacrifice??” Kia asked as he sat up

“Yeah it’s a life for a life”

“I thought the shadows had nothing to do with blood sacrifice, why are they so interested in that now?”

“Not sure but they said something like Lord Agus returning”

“Returning that would be bad for the shadows right? He was the one that defeated them on the past so why bring him back?”

“Well that was what we all heard but no one ever knew the true story, what if he was the one that brought them in the first place”

“Brought them? Like create them?”

“Yeah what if they worked for him?”

“Well it does not make any sense to me tho”

“But either way we get to rule by their side, we would save our clans, the demons would live. We are doing what the witches couldn’t pick a stable side”

“Those bastards would go from one side to another like that shut us annoying”

“Who doesn’t want to be on the winning side? We are different from them because we analyze our options”

“Yeah we all want to be winners but I feel bad for the poor Peter, if I knew I would not have helped you captured him, he saw me as a brother” Kia said as tears fulfilled up in his eyes

“Yeah, I feel bad too, did you think it was easy for me to let James go? I loved him.”

“But the mission comes first, the name demons needs insert fear in people when they hear it just like that one”

“Which one?”

“That one, the name we don’t speak off”

“Hmmm, not sure I had heard it before”

“The Blue Fox” she whispered in his ear as she got up and walked into the cave.

“Ohh that, yeah now I remember.”

Peter just hanged upside down and listened to all their chats then soon he got lost in his own thoughts,

“I hope Carly truly get all the team back together, I need help”

“Don’t worry, she would, let’s just hope”

“That’s all we can do hope”

*************************************************

Back in heaven, James had made his way to the top leaders of heaven, they were happy to see him,

He presented his self as the leader of the teenagers destined to save humanity, soon after this type of introduction, the meeting got hot.

“If you are true my the leader, why are you here without your team mates?”

“I am with one of my teammate but sadly, he was possessed by the shadows”

“What they can possess now?” One of the elders asked in fear

“Where is he now?” Another asked

“Hope he his not in this town or the two of you would find yourself blamed for this” Another said as he adjusted his seat.

“Well you all be calm, he is in this city but in a restricted area, a new place I created called the unholy”

“We don’t separate people here, we believe in equality” the leader said as he sat up ready for business

“Well I believe in equality too but do you want the whole heaven to be full of shadows, the one we trying to defeat?”

“Well I guess this silence means No, so I also made sure the new humans coming into the heavens were given a scan before they proceeded to the big city”

“Why?!!”

“Are we still on this, it’s pretty obvious his just trying to help us here” The leader said

One down, the hardest of all. The fact the leader was now on my side, I would have no problem, James thought to hisself while he was still standing before the 12 twelve elders.

“Ok then we would allow the unholy department to stand and the scanning to stand, do you need any help?”

“Well no, I have it all under control”

“Ok then you may leave” one of the elders said

“Nope have you guys forgotten our tradition, we need to offer him anything he wants for bringing to us such a great idea” the leader said as he looked at the elders

“Ok then young man what do you want?”

“Ohh well nothing much, I just hope to be part of the great leaders of this nation”

“What!!!” One of the first twelve sitting on the right side shouted

“Impossible!!” Another from the right side screamed out as he looked very angry and disgust by the request of the young man

“Hmmm, young man you have asked for too much,”

“You lordship, I have asked for nothing of such, I had just given you guys the best idea to keep the shadows out of the heavens and I have so many great ideas to come”

“Hmm you have a point there, your great ideas would be needful so I am in support” one of the elders on the left screamed out

“Well my brother, you speaking for all of us” the second on the roll said as he looked at the rest of the elders on that side which they also nodded in agreement that they were with him.

“Well with his great ideas we could win this war and have humanity back and we need a thirteenth elder”

“Tired of been the little one here” the last elder added as he looked at the disappointed faces of the elders on the right side where he was.

“Well let’s take a fair vote then, to all that want this young man rise” the leader said from his high up chair

And all the elders on the left and the last one of the right rose up, and the shook his hand in sign of congratulations.

“To all against this young man rise”

The rest of the elders rose and they were disappointed when they saw his lordship did not rise,

“What? Your lordship you could vote too”

“No he can’t for now since he is the one judging” James said as he looked directly into the eye of the elder who had made the statement.

“Well I am happy to announce to you all that Mr. James is now one of the elders of heaven and he would be in charge of the tech of this beautiful place and because he was a war master, he is also in charge of the war between us and the shadows.”

“Well he said it all, get him a seat beside me” the twelfth elder said as he pointed to the space beside him.

Soon James chair arrived and he was now fully a member of the elders. After the meeting was over,

“Hey James how did I do?” The twelfth elder asked

“You did great my man and got your pay, come closer”

The twelfth elder went closer and shook hands with Janes then he leaned in to his ear and whispered

“The wages of sin is death and thirteen elders are too much, twelve is perfect”

And the next thing the elder notice was his life force was been sucked out of his palm,

“Rest in peace brother”
