Chapter 2 - Dark Force (Chapter 2, Illusions)

After hearing that weird voice, he looked around to see if anyone else was there but he saw no one. He brushed it off and thought it was just an illusion.

He was infuriated at Yura's death and wanted to bring her back so badly, he held both her hands and whispered with tears, "Please come back". Then suddenly, a white aura started to form around Yura's body and after some time, he could hear her heartbeat. But it was so faint no normal person would even hear it.

He was shocked at what just happened and alot of thoughts started going through his mind. Where should I go? What should I do? How is she alive?, all these questions were floating around in his head but he came to a single conclusion.

Horu: I'm going to take her far away from here, find a Denkali who can heal her completely and find a master to train me so I can grow stronger and finally find out what that is happening to me.

So, he stopped his tears and carried Yura on his back. But to his surprise she had become so light that it felt like he was lifting a feather. He wondered why that was so and his mind recalled to the words he heard after screaming out loud.

Horu: Rage unlocked, you are now a denkali, what do these words imply? Does it mean I've now become a Denkali? But how? it would explain why Yura is almost weightless right now but it's just impossible.

He then left the town he once called home, the place he found his first friend and the place where he felt safe after a long time 'Biskra, the land of the great'. He walked straight into a forest known as the forest of illusions because it was rumored that anyone who enters the forest either never comes out or is scarred for life. But,he also heard the townspeople saying that there was a way to the main city of BlackBorne after passing through the forest. But, he was cautious because the forest of illusions was a place that lived up to it's name, it claimed a lot of lives and nothing there could be trusted.

He stepped foot into the forest and he was already under an illusion, he looked back and there were only thick trees and fog. He didn't worry about it and looked straight ahead.As he went deeper and deeper into the forest, the illusions started to grow stronger and stronger, he was hearing voices of his Father, grandfather and Yura telling him to follow them. He was starting to get really drawn into the illusions as they kept on growing stronger and more realistic until he remembered a skill he learnt from his grandfather Mukuso, a skill known us "Shestoye Chuvstvo", a skill only used by members of the Ashton family, which granted him the ability to use his already heightened senses to the max.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes, he took a deep breath and focused on his senses and he unlocked The Shestoye Chuvstvo. His body moved on its own, avoiding paths that could potentially lead to disaster. He opened his eyes because when using the skill, it puts a large strain on the user's mind, giving him very bad headaches. He moved forward and sniffed around to see if he was close to the end but out of no where, a blood hound jumped out from the thick fog and tried to attack Horu. But because he was stronger and faster than the hound he easily swatted it away. He realised that he was way stronger than he was before. So, he took one more deep breath and analysed his body. He then saw that one of 6 mysterious looking locks in his body was opened making him significantly stringer and faster but one thing was, he had never seen this before and had only read about it in books that the locks were a sort of restriction that were placed in entities to avoid them from being too powerful. Denkalis already had one lock open from birth making them extremely strong or providing them the ability to use magic.

He was happy at his achievement until he thought of what he did before, he attacked a blood hound, and blood hounds never go solo. Where there is one, there will always be more, and right after thinking of that, he heard the howls of other blood hounds coming over to him quick. He ran as fast as he could until and got completely immersed in the thrill of the run, to him he was having fun being chased by 8 monsters that could easily kill him if they attack smart enough.

And as he was running he heard an alpha hound howling from behind the pack. And oh boy alpha hounds are not to be messed with. He jumped into a large tree and looked back and there it was, running straight at him. He looked down, smilingand said, "What do you want from me?", the hound replied with, "Give us the girl, boy", he was infuriated at that and asked, "What do you want with her?", the hound didn't reply and Horu said, "If you want to get her, you have to go through me!".
