In a certain moor that transgressed beyond time, Al' sat by his table but in a human form. He had the attire of a butler and by the table he drunk tea. On the table seated a crystal ball that glowed with mysterious light.
"Oh poor. Master if only you had controlled your lust the water born would not be dying right now. How could you watch her suffer." Watching his screen blacked out like that of a TV with bad signal but in seconds it turned to normal- but still looked shakey. The calm wind at the moor suddenly became rough. The wind had no direction and just moved around. Al' casted a barrier around himself and the table to block the violent wind.
"What is happening to my domain?" He roared. "Can this be the third Apocalypse?- What is that fool still doing with the girl?- Leave her and run!- Did he forget the words in the contract?- It's her fault for going against that person's pet so leave her and run. Why has this fool bowed his head?" He zoomed in to see Max clearl. "Has sorrow completely crippled him?- Shit! This fo..."
Before Al'could finish he received back a sinister stare. The look just came an instant. Like his instinct kicking in, Al'froze and did not move a mascle. He didn't even breath. It was like playing dead. Max shook his head slowly at him as if to warm him not to finish his statemen. Then, the screen went black. Al' fell on his knees gasping like he run q marathon. Sweat poured down profusely, and he looked terrified and enraged.
"I thought I was dead. I know I died a million times over for sure. Are my on my knee?" He began to speak with rage. "Who dared?- My master; my servant. Who dared to make me kneel?" He immediately snapped his fingers and a chest appeared. It opened automatically and two- four winged bats popped out. "Be my eyes and ears. Go!" Al'ordered them. 'WHOOSH!' Like smoke from a quenched match stick the faded away. Looking so serious, he uttered:
"If my hunch is correct, this changes everything. All will change."
Soon the bats arrived at the scene just as they disappeared. Al' paced to and fro in his barrier then suddenly he halted, "It has began." He said
He saw Max, the water born and the monster. Max walked leisurely towards the fish and the girl was floating on the water. Upon seeing the girl in her position, Al'finally concluded that that wasn't his master.
"Impossible. NO, no, no, no! It can't be." He spoke with shock visible in his eyes with a hint of trembling as a result of his fear. "What have I done?- What calamity have I brought back to life. A third Apocalypse. It can happen. This is...this is...this is perfect." He smiled with a an evil flickers in his eyes, then it struck him:
"That girl can be a useful pawn." He threw his hand as if slapping a fly, then something like a reddish blackhole appeared. He thrust his hand through the portal then pulled out the water born girl then the portal closed. "And now to head..." He paused his speech upon noticing something strange.
"Don't tell me! Are my holding a Stranger To Death(STD)." He cleared off the blood on hetlr chest and seeing no cut or scar confirmed his believes. He said in a low tone. "She how peaceful she sleeps even on the edge of death's sword." Gently, he placed her down to pay more attention to the upcoming fight. "Truly, this is indeed the beginning of chaos, destruction has now set it's corse. I made history. I started an Apocalypse." His countenance changed. He was smiling with pleasure, a sadistic smile to be precise.
Max advance towards his enemy step by step. His conciousness was put to sleep but he was controlled by another, he seemed so free and cocky with a smile plastered on his face. Closing the distance leaving about 7 metres gab between them he stopped. He stared deep in the eyes of his prey then smirked. A wisker dashes, slashing through the air, it slashed across Max's chest. Blood was gushing out and spilling out profusely but Max remained unphased.
"Oh snap. Forgot this is a human soul. Should have enforced the soul with mana. Danm it! And you the first thing I meet after eons of slumber dares to treat me with contempt. Hmmm! Nevermind." He tapped his foot and it sent ripples on the surface of the river. Suddenly all the ripples came back under his foot. It was like time reversing itself. Actually time was reversing itself. All the the spilled blood was back in, coming out of the river, crawling on the skin, they all went back in. All the movement of the fish reversed as well it was as if nothing happened.
"Now, where were we?" The slash repeated itself but now, Runic caught it with his index and middle finger. The fish pulled the wisker but it wouldn't budge. It tried swimming with all it's might but Max stood still like a pillar. It made use of the remaining wiskers. They flew like spears heading for the kill. The brain, heart and stomach were the targets. The halted on impact like they hit plutonium. Like a pair of scissors, Max closed the two fingers cutting the wisker and shook his head.
"Lethal shots- good job." He said with excitement in his eyes. "Hwaaa...!" He let out a silent sign then the walls of the cave-like structure together with the river began to shake. "Ready for more?" Suddenly the fish knew it was no match for Max. Swiftly it dived to make a swim for it.
"Oh it runs. But I wanted to see it as it died. Well it doesn't matte. I probably terrified it by stealing it's heart." He looked down to his right hand and it held a heart. It was bigger than a normal heart and it still beated. Without care he immensed the grip of his hand popping it like a balloon.
"So this is Runic." Al' pronounced. He even used the touch of time. A spell, I have only heard stories of. His aura changed the weather of my domain. Not even I saw when he took the heart. The only problem is that power, using a godly spell with that soul would be..." Before he could finish the rough weather ceased then Max fell on his face like a tree. "His body is still too weak for the power." Then came in a monotone like drops of water falling in a collected water. It was a perfect uniform rhythm and his countenance proved it was a familiar tune.
"T-H-A-T B-I-T-C-H!!!" He shouted.
