Lance Grey finds himself in a Dark world with a creature of the night, a Dark Hyena.
Lance Grey: What are you? Are you a Demon? (Lance asks the creature)
Hyena: (Prowls around Lance) A Demon (Laughs)... Demon is a strong word to describe me, I'm more of a Curse, your Curse to be precise. (The creature tells him before settling down)
Lance Grey: Are you here to kill me? (Lance asks)
Hyena: Noooo, I could never kill you, unlike other Curses I exist solely to protect you master.
Lance Grey: Don't call me that! I am not your master! You attacked my friends and Leon.(Lance yells)
Hyena: (Growls) That man is dangerous, I was only trying to protect you! (Hyena replies)
Lance Grey: I don't need your protection!!!
Hyena: You don't? What would have happened to you and your female friend If I hadn't slayed that beast?... You need me otherwise you'd be nothing more than a helpless human.
Lance Grey: Go away! And stay away from me! I don't want anything to do with you or your powers!!! (Lance yells)
Hyena: Okay then. Just remember I'll always be with you, and if you ever need my power, all you have to do is ask. (The Hyena says before he vanishes)
Lance then wakes up, he sees that he's in a dungeon, and he accepts it as his fate. Suddenly the metal door of the dungeon is kicked down, Leon steps in with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.
Leon Chronos: Hey kid, how are you doing? (Leon asks)
Guard: Hey, you can't be in here. (The guard on duty tells Leon)
Leon Chronos: I'll only take a minute. And I'll fix the door on my way out.
Guard: Okay then, I guess I'll take my leave. (The guard says, using the opportunity to take a break)
Leon Chronos: How are you feeling? Do you remember anything? (Leon asks)
Flashes of what he did play out in his mind, before he remembers all of it.
Lance Grey: Yes. I remember everything, I'm sorry for what I did to you and the others, I will accept the consequences of my actions, whatever they maybe. (Lance tells him with tears in his eyes, ready to accept death itself)
Leon Chronos: (Slaps Lance)... You shall accept nothing. Stop giving up on life because life hasn't given up on you... (sighs) Lance I know you're not a Demon or a Monster, and I will do everything in my power to prove your innocence, just give me the chance.
Lance Grey: Okay. I promise to no longer give up on life.
Leon Chronos: Good, your trial date has already been set. The king wants to personally handle your case but don't worry, I have a friend that can prove you innocent, just hang tight. (Leon tells him confidently)
Leon's visit has really boosted Lance's morale, now he was sure that Leon was a good person and all that nonsense Hyena told him were all lies.
*******
As Leon leaves he fixes the door with his reverse spell, he then makes his way down the halls of the castle, contemplating what to do next. But then a giant Dragon manifests itself before him, stopping Leon in his tracks.
The massive dragon stares at Leon with hate in it's eyes, as it growled deeply.
Leon Chronos: Kronos the Great Time Demon, what's your problem this time? (Chuckles). See what I did there? It's a time Pun. (Leon jokes ignoring the threat the demon poses)
Note: Only Leon can see this creature.
Kronos: You dare mock me vermin?!... You may have found ways to delay my curse, but it is absolute! One day soon you shall be faced with a choice, to free me or die... I can't wait to see what you chose. (The Demons tells Leon ominously before vanishing into thin air).
Leon Chronos: You've hurt me and my family long enough Kronos. When that day comes, you shall be the one to perish. (Leon declares as he continues to go down the hallway).
Next: Ancestral Curse Of Leon Chronos.
