Shadow of the Past (Chapter XVIII)

Chapter XVIII: A New Magic Seal 1

Aridous put a soft arm around Donalbain. Not Aridous' arm but the arm of a soilder he ripped off. He make the arm taped Donalbain's shoulder to make him feel better. If it was't working for Donalbian it was surely working for Aridous. 2

"He's the greatest mortal that I have ever meet." Aridous said in w wisper. "Greater then the gods themselves." 3

Donalbain was about to say something and then, "Where are we going to put him? We can't leave him here. Others will want to break the Seal." 4

Aridous looked down on Illion and smiled. "Dump the Seal in the ocean, then? In the middle of the Black Sea that way no one knows where it in and no one can find it." 5

Aridous bent down and picked up the Seal in his arms and throw it over his shoulders. "You know how to get out of here, Donalbain?" 6

Tiera glared up at Aridous and gritted her teeth to bare the pain. She slowly rose to her feet and outstretched her arms and let out a roaring scream. 7

Her muscles in her arms grew intense in size and ripped off her demon armor, revealing her pale skin which quickly turned to black. 8

Tiera's eyes burned red and her teeth grew into long razors. 9

"You foolish weak, God! I cannot die! The demon Gods have gifted me with immortality and the inability to rest until I have slain every last good living creature on this pathetic planet!" 10

Tiera raised up her hell's fire sword which now burned with a fury and suddenly brought it down to slice it across Aridous' back. Tiera hissed as Aridous let out a moan of pain as the hell fire burned his robes and at the large gaping wound. 11

Tiera raised up her hell's fire sword which now burned with a fury and suddenly brought it down to slice it across Aridous' back. Tiera hissed as Aridous let out a moan of pain as the hell fire burned his robes and at the large gaping wound. 16

Aridous dropped the New Seal and clenched his teeth. "Go with the new Seal and bury it!" 17

Aridous turned around with burning eyes at the demon. "Do you not know what will happen to you when you pick up my sword, woman?" He asked as he slowly limped toward her. 18

"And I am no 'weak god' as you told me. The sword would have killed me almost instantly which, as you can see . . . have not; nor will not." 19

Tiera grinned, "In that case," She dropped her sword and pulled out the giant war axe and charged toward Aridous with amazing speed. 20

She brought up the axe over her head and quickly back down to bring down the axe to slice open Aridous' chest and crush through his ribs. 21

Tiera stepped back and allowed her demon form to return to her normal human looking form and was still clad in her demon armor. 22

"So, the God of terror does bleed. It's a shame that you threw your chance away to be my king of the shadow realm. You would have been praised and worshipped." 23

Aridous fell to one knee, grasping at the gaping wound over his chest that bled uncontrollably. He breathed heavily and coughed up leaking blood that came up from his cut open gut. 24

Tiera knelt down and jabbed her finger into the underside of Aridous' chin to lift his head up to look into his eyes, "And I was starting to like your dark and mischief ways."25
