Chapter 2 - The start of something big

One of the demons laughed—a massive creature holding a spiked iron sphere.

The mother froze as the creature approached.

The boy heard her scream.

He covered his ears.

He cried uncontrollably.

"Mom… I'm scared… Grandpa…"

the demon was holding the womans hand crushing it to make her obey, we will go to the room, I can`t waste such a beauty, the old man stood helpless as a demon grabbed his face and forced him to watch as her daughter and the demon entered a room, the demon then closed his arm and broke the old man jaw, he fainted.

When the old man awoke again, the demon stood before him.

The old man's eyes changed.

From grief…

To something deeper.

Something ancient.

The demon mocked him—he got close to his ears and whispered something long, a mishievus smile becoming that of a crazy creature

He knew what had happened and he knew his son heard everything, every detail the demon gave, his son listened what happened in real time.

Then the old man screamed, a sound so powerful the ground trembled.

The boy burst from the hatch.

His grandfather's body glowed green.

In an instant, the earth erupted.

Thousands of crystalline cacti burst from the ground,scatering through a circle. Each one pulsed with translucent green spikes.

The demons tried to flee.

Too late.

From every cactus, countless spines shot outward, impaling the demons from all directions.

The air filled with shrieks.

One demon, the one who killed the boys mom had escaped—until the single spine embedded in him began to branch outward like crystal veins.

Within moments, silence fell.

The crystalline structures dissolved.

The demons were gone.

Only devastation remained.

In the distance, one wounded figure staggered away toward the horizon, regenerating slowly as it walked.

The boy stumbled forward despite the pain in his ankle.

He found a burnt body on the ground.

His grandfather.

When he understood, he fell to his knees.

Darkness closed in.

As he lost consciousness, he saw five figures in black clothing approaching.

Then everything went black.

This is the start of a story, a story of the revenge of a little boy called Kael Ardyn.
