Chapter 6 - Unormal to be Normal

[???: Hey Clyde.]

A younger looking version of Clyde, peaks his head out of the door. He walks over to a women in her bed.

[Clyde: Mother, I did it!]

Clyde takes out a squirrel from his pocket. He holds it up like a cought fish, and stands with pride.

[Clyde: My first kill of the day mom!]

Clyde's mom giggles. [Clyde's Mother: Wow Clyde, I'm proud of you, but you cant consider that a kill.]

Clyde's mom looked pale and thin. She was suffering from an illness. She had white long hair unlike Clyde.

[Clyde: Dont worry mom. I am the pride and successor of our family. I won't put our name to shame.]

[Clyde's Mother: You're father was a much better warrior than me Clyde.] She says as she giggles. She spoke with a soft voice.

Clyde froze. [Clyde: I dont care about him. That's the least of a warrior I want to be.]

His mom looked down in sadness, and swiftly raised her head back up in a smile. [Clyde's Mother: Clyde, how about you go play with your sisters?]

[Clyde: No way! They're too weak.]

[Clyde's Mother: Of course, they are 4 Clyde.]

[???: Young master Clyde, please get ready for school]

A man in a suit stood at the door way. He had grey white hair, and sword at his waste. Harold, was the head servant of the household.

[Clyde: I'm not going to school Harold!]

[Harold: Well it's too bad you dont have a choice.]

Clyde runs for the window but, before it's too late, Harold chops him on his nape and carefully carried Clyde away.

[Clyde's Mother: Thank you for helping Harold.]

[Harold: Why of course my mistress. Clyde must get the education he needs to head the household.]

Clyde's mother smiled as Harold walked towards the exit. Harold turned around with a serious look on his face. Looking directly at Clyde's mother.

[Harold: Helena, you have no time left. The boy must know the truth only from you.]

[Helena: I understand, thank you for worrying Harold. Please, take care of my son.]

Harold walks out of the room.

Clyde works throughout his school day with other children from noble families. He is not the smartest in the class, but he tries his hardest for his mothers sake.

Afterschool, kids stop in front of Clyde.

[Kid 1: Hey Clyde, you damn weakling. I heard they're going to burn down your house.]

The other kids start laughing.

[Clyde: c'mon guys that's just a joke, dont take it seriously] Clyde looked at them with a concerned look mix with a smile and laugh.

[Kid 2: Hey! What are you smiling for?] The kid punches Clyde in the face. Clyde falls down hard, and tries his hardest not to cry.

[Kid 3: Stop acting tuff Clyde. You're weak and from the worst family here. You should just leave or better yet.]

The kid gets close to Clyde's face and whispers [Kill yourself].

Clyde's face and mood changed. He had a surprised look on his face. He was thinking how anyone could joke about that.

The kids walked off laughing. Clyde walks away bearing the insults. He was weak, too weak to fight them.

Clyde walks home and says hello to his sister's, maids, and then goes to see his mother.

[Clyde: Hey mom, I'm back from school!]

[Helena: How was it?]

Clyde looked down, and was trying his best to hide the bruise on his face. [Clyde: It was great!]

[Helena: Clyde, I have to tell you something.]

[Clyde: Yeah mom, anything!]

[Helena: I dont have much time left to survive.] Helena was trying her best to look strong and Hold her tears back in front of Clyde.

[Clyde: C'mon mom, what are you talking about? You just have a cold.]

[Helena: Clyde, I need you to take your sisters and run.]

[Clyde: What mom....? What are you saying?] Clyde was starting to cry from her remarks.

[Helena: Clyde, they're coming for us.]

[Clyde: WHO! WHY!? WHY US!?] Clyde said in a saddened voice.

[Helena: Clyde, we are the last family of demons left. You need to run. The capital is trying to get rid of us.]

[Harold:My Lady! They are here! They're are burning down the house!]

[Helena: Earlier than I expected.. Harold take Clyde and the girls and run.]

[Harold: My lady-. As you wish..]

Harold took Clyde and his sisters and ran. Clyde was screaming his mother's name.

As the house burned in the background, Clyde learned just how cruel the world is. Demons? He never heard of it before.

A memory came in Clyde's mind of his mother.

[Clyde: Mom, are we not normal? Are we unormal?]

[Helena: It is good to be different Clyde. It is Unormal to be Normal..]

Harold got shot by an arrow in his back. Clyde took his siters and ran. Ran from his fears..

[Mysterious Man: I've been in this cave for years waiting for you, Pillar of the Nights Flames.]

[Kori: Who are you?] Koris look and his voice changed. He wasnt himself. He looked more serious than how he usually is. His voice more deep. He still had that tattoo of 11 and the cloak or flames.

[Ryu: I am Ryu, the Dragon Pillar. You humans also refer to me as the 'Legendary Dragon'.]

[Serene: It couldnt be. The one who almost destroyed the world 20000 years ago. But, you were slain.]

[Ryu: SLAIN!?!?. HAHAHAHA. No, as you can see I'm perfectly alive. I gave up on destroying the world. I thought it wouldn't be fun with just 12 people on it.]

[Serene: 12 people?]

[Ryu: of course the founders of this world. The 12 pillars are returning. And your friend, who you refer as Kori. Is the 11th pillar of the nights flames. Tsuki!]

[Serene: Tsuki?!] Serene looked at Kori who was not fazed by the dragon, but he looked at him with a killing intent.

[Ryu: Tsuki, come with me. We must do what the 7 fathers command.]

[Kori: I dont care who you are. I'm killing that thing behind you.]

[Ryu: Oh the ogre..]

Ryu lifted his hands to the ogres location. The ogre stood there confused of the situation. And then in one instant. He exploded. The body parts and blood of the ogre flew throughout the cave.

[Ryu: I killed him. Now let's go.]

Kori then fainted and his flames burned out He fell to the floor and Serene rushed over to him. Ryu looked to Serene in disgust.

[Ryu: Hey human, move away! I'm taking him!]

Serene looked up to Ryu and said [No! I won't let you!]

Ryu lifted his hand up to her face. Serene closed her eyes, embracing the fainted Kori tightly.

[Ryu: Then die..]

Out of the corner of Ryu's eyes, he is punched across the cave into a wall. Standing where Ryu got punched, was Clyde. He had a gaping hole in his stomach, with blood flowing out. But, he still managed to stand. He looked different though. His right eye was red and the left was blue. He had two demon horns above his head. The right was made of ice, and the left of fire. A Devils tail sticking from his lower back. This was a transformed demon...
