Chapter 3 - Chapter 3:The Shadow Demons

It was 3000 years ago and the world was a much smaller place with only one nation that had control on all the discovered land in the world and the world was in chaos.Mysterious creatures of untold power ravaged the city's of the world and killing 80% of the people in the discovered lands.And then the gods gave their blessings to the people of the land helping the survivors destroy the unknown creatures. But there was one problem the people who had the blessings remained thinking it was no problem the gods left it as it was. However the god of darkness corrupted the souls of all the chosen ones. This was the creation of the shadow demons the creatures that destroyed the first inhabitants of the world the true humans.

Arron stood still in fear even he had no chance against a shadow demon even the gods struggled to kill the shadow and in the end 2 of the gods were destroyed in the progress.That said if some one had the blessing of the god of light it was possible.And so Arron had to proceed with caution if this shadow demon was to find out he was here .

And then a beam of light hit the destroyed city causing the rubble from the city to be thrown into the air followed by distorted screaming.The shadow demon had been attacked by someone.this particular spell was something Arron was all to familiar with the spell used.The spell in question was a spell that needed 30 individuals to perform a spell in sync. How Arron was familiar is because it was the most effective spell to bring harm to him it was a common occurrence in battles.

Now back in the present The beam of light attacked the shadow demon in retaliation a black smoke rose from the city and slowly the rubble began to melt into a black liquid that hardened into a form of black metal that was now reflecting the light beam.Arron realised what was happening he remembered the story's from when he was a child.

"The Shadow demons descend on the land after stealing the power of the chosen one's killing all the humans alive in retaliation the gods had to get involved unlike the past where the gods indirectly helped but this time all life was gone nothing remains except for a wasteland of despair and death. The shadow demons had only one power the black smoke. This smoke is a very powerful ability that alters anything it touches into the black metal, The black metal was very strong it had the power to reflect all magic except from light magic and light magic was only possible by the god of light or those that had received its blessing"

And then he saw it the demon rose from the black metal it screeched as it emitted black smoke from its body but this black smoke was far to quick an average human could not out run it .And then he heard it. It was the distant screams of the people who cast the spell it seems they were caught by the black smoke.This was the first time Arron felt fear he was frozen in place he was stood in shock as he saw the ground turn to metal and the smoked slowed stopping in front of him.Arron not thinking straight extended his hand to touch the smoke and then he was brought to reality by a sudden sharp pain and the tips of his fingers turning to metal.

Arron-"Crap I have to go"

and with that Arron ran towards a nearby cave system that was emitting a strange glow from further inside.Arron headed inside slowly and found somewhere to sit.

Arron-"How will we kill the shadow demon ... Wait how were they killed before"

"After 200 years of fighting the gods got desperate after losing one god already they had to do anything they could and so they targeted the god of darkness after discovering he was behind the shadow demons.After a short battle the god of darkness vanished and the shadow demons turned to dust.Now what was left was for the gods to revive the world first the god of nature healed the land and buried the black metal and the god of life created a new breed of human of course this breed of humans had a worse magic capability than the original but that was the only difference and that is the story of the shadow demon war"

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It had been 2 days now and Arron finally had the courage to leave the cave and what he saw was a wasteland the ground was mixed with black metal and scorch marks from a battle between an unknown individual and the shadow demon the sky was pitch black even though it was daytime. But what was most important is that Arron sensed the fact that negative magic and word magic ceased to exist. The only way a type of magic would cease to exist is if the god that created it was killed.And so Arron came to the conclusion that the god of the eclipse was killed.

But by who?

And how?
