Chapter 6 - Ruination I

Swoosh!

Thud!

A figure of a young teen suddenly appeared in front of the ghostly tree. He has white as snow hair that waves with the help of wind. His crimson eyes bear a calm and passionate demeanor. He has quite a muscular body for a young teen.

Caw!

Caw!

Caw!

A sound of Crows crying suddenly appeared, and It is a cry that frightened the heart of anyone who listens to it.

Julian sigh in relief when he's finally backed in the graveyard. He no longer sees the ancient door in the ghostly tree. He observed the surroundings and noticed his father in the distance.

"Father! Father!.. How's everything?" Julian called out for his father with a loud voice.

Pelo hears his son's call and turned around to meet the dashing figure, Julian. He quickly noticed his son's change, both physically and mentally. Julian's height reached 5'8 feet tall and His eyes become more mature.

"HAHAHA! Son!... You've gone taller and muscular than before! Tell me everything happened inside." Pelo speaks while giving Julian a bear hug.

Julian escaped his father's hug and laugh while looking at his father's shocked expression. He explains everything that happened in the ancient graveyard, including his encounters with the demon.

Hearing Julian's explanation Pelo was shocked. He was surprised when the crimson orb formed into Julian's heart. He looked at his son with a delighted and thrilled expression.

"I am proud of you, Son!." Pelo smiled brightly at Julian.

Julian looked at his father with pride and self-esteem. His father's words and recognition make him more proud of his achievement.

"Let's go! Your mother was worried about you.." Pelo speaks with a gentle voice. He turned around and started to walk, and Julian follow his father while smiling brightly.

...

At Castle, A figure of a beautiful lady can be seen.

"Julian. Come here, my dear!." Julia speaks gently and firmly hugs Julian.

"Thank you, mom! I know you've prayed for my safety..." Julian speaks softly while he holds his mother's hand and taps it on his forehead.

"No need to thank me, my dear. I will always do what best for you!." Julia smiled radiantly.

"Let's have dinner! I prepared a lot of your favorite food.." Julian pulls Julian with both of her hands.

Alberto smiled while spectating the scene. He always believed in his young master's ability.

After having dinner, they talked about things that happen in the ancient graveyard and other entertaining things. Everyone at the table was intrigued by Julian's story. After a long conversation, they finally return to their room. Julian, though decides to take a short trip outside the castle.

...

At the command room inside the castle, Pelo called for a meeting. Noble's, Wizards, and Knights Commander sit at the elegant round table. Their facial expression was serious and solemn.

"Start the report!." Pelo speaks with a loud voice while sitting in a big chair.

"Your Majesty, here is the record of the transaction with merchant guild." A fat man with a goatee speaks while handing a stack of paper to Pelo.

"Your Majesty, there is no sign of monster invasion in the border... We wished that you approve to petition of the knights to re-station here in the city." A muscular man with a huge scar on his cheek speaks.

"Wait for another two months. I'll approve the petition by then." Pelo replied to the muscular man.

"Your Majesty, The research for the new potion was finally done. Here are the results of our study." A beautiful woman wearing a wizard hat speaks.

"Nicely Done! I will increase the resources needed for other research." Pelo takes the stack of paper at the ladies' hand.

He stares at everyone, waiting for the next to speak up, but no one does.

"Is this all of the report?... Alright. I thereby conclude that this meeting was over. Everyone was dis —."

BOOOOOOM!

Pelo was interrupted by a massive noise.

...

At the center of the city, everyone was busy and occupied by their own business. Merchant selling things, Knights patrolling the city, and Drunkard's enjoying themselves in the tavern. A young woman carrying a basket on his head full of apples and tomatoes was walking in the city street.

BOOOOOOM!

Suddenly A deafening noise shook the entire city. The young woman's basket fell in the ground, and the fruits and vegetables scattered in the street. She quickly ducked down to put back the apples and tomatoes in the basket while looking at everyone around her that might steal it.

She noticed that everyone in the city became silent. She sees everyone was looking at the sky. Out of curiosity, She also looked up. An Enormous crack appears in the night sky that spreads across the end of the city skies.

After a second, The cracks grow bigger and bigger. Until another deafening noise appear. A huge hole was formed in the center of the cracks.

BOOOM!

Thud!

The young woman dropped the apple on her hand. She pointed her finger in the sky. A Massive Eye in the night sky was looking at her. A tremendous aura enveloped the whole city.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The young woman shrieks at the of her lungs.

"AHH! What the heck is that thing!" A man with grey hair pointed his finger at the terrifying monster while uttering his word.

"NOOO! RUN!" A merchantman yelled while holding a bag full of gold and sprinting for safety.

Her shrieks began the series of shouts from everywhere in the city. The apple and tomatoes in the ground were trampled by crowds trying to run away from the massive and terrifying eyes in the sky. Chaos and confusion spread in the city. The peaceful city before became a mess within minutes.

The massive eyes in the sky blink slowly. It started to bang its eyes into the hole that makes more cracks in the process.

Everyone was freaking out that even the brilliant knights patrolling the city were scared and confused. Without someone making orders chaos, erupt like an active volcano.

A young teen with white hair and crimson eyes was looking at the sky. He saw the terrifying creatures with a massive eye.

Julian's two hearts were beating hard like a mad man. It was as if telling him to get the heck out there!..
