Quaking in absolute fear she asked, "Did you say King of the Night?!"
"Oh Everpeach, you old hag... DID I NOT WARN YOU NOT TO MAKE A MOVE?"
It was still a wonder to me how I could just switch up my character.
"If there is any consolation, I'd honestly just say you should thank Aaliyah for giving you humans another chance at life. What manner of stupidity it is for you humans to call my name in vain".
I could feel the eyes of the other children from the other rooms.
They came out to see what was causing such a commotion.
"Wait did that Nelson dude just call himself the King of the Night?"
All manner of questions started to erupt it was bound to attract the wrong crowd I had already let my identity out to a few humans I couldn't afford for the entirety of Talen to know.
"Power is the very fundament of control," I said as I slowly approached the slummed body of Tobi, "Tobi you have shown great control and done the King of the Night a great service." I then picked up his dying body, "Your life will be restored anew. You will be reborn with true strength, for that is your destiny as a great member of the humans".
"Children take a nap and forget about all that happened here today", all the children instantly dropped and passed out.
"What are you doing to one of my children?"
Everpeach spoke so defiantly yet I chose to ignore her.
"Answer me, you ruthless King".
Ohh!
So, this is how humans functioned.
I wasn't going to let this one go, it wasn't even up for contemplating.
"Everpeach", power hummed through the air, I slowly examined her only to realize that she was standing in my presence.
"Kneel before me"
The ability that we had to get any living organisms to submit to our will kicked in.
"Your Kids! Can you see what you have done to these children?"
She fought the power desperately trying to stand and exert control, but it was futile. These humans needed to learn one thing.
She lost the bout with the mystery force.
Forcefully brought to her knees with such force that burrowed her knees a few inches into the floor.
*screams*
Liquid essence started to fly everywhere missing me by a few inches.
"I'm sure this is quite a painful experience for you, it is just a warning next you will lose your life." She instantly burst into tears.
"King Andrea will not let this..."
"Quiet down you aged Hag!"
She shut up instantly as she was forced to watch the coronation of the new Night-chosen king of the humans.
Previously I had only one hand holding him up, but I put my other hand on him and let restorative healing into him.
"Tobi stand you are well now."
He stood just as I had commanded but cowered in fear.
His heartbeat peaked and beat nonstop, and the flow of adrenaline throughout his bloodstream also increased as well.
"Fear not young lad as you see today, I am not an enemy, as a matter of fact, I have become the patron of youth protection across all of Hilderia. Speak your mind to me."
He tried to kneel in front of me.
"Do not try such young lad."
"Great king, I thank you for your intervention, but I must say you weren't as the books depicted you."
"It is as it is, history is changed by those with power and influence overall. No matter, I am what I am, and I worry about no simple-to-fix problems it is just a futile and sad way to spend one's day."
"Well, my lord, thank you for your generosity." he then turned to Aaliyah with tears gushing down his eyes. "Can you save her?"
"Patient Tobi..." Before I could finish my statement the army of Talen had discovered the existence of a non-Talen citizen in Talen, and it was unwelcomed.
"Tobi how about you care for her give me just a second I will return."
I vanished out of his sight and appeared in front of the Home of the Wanting.
"He's just a kid" a random proclaimed before going back into military readiness
"Welcome humans, how long has it been since my last appeared as I was in front of you lot? Well, let's make this quick don't stand in my way or face my wrath! Which will you choose? I'm curious"
"Who the hell do you think you are?" said a man identified as 'SSS-05'.
"Oh", with a smile on my face, I proceeded with eyes glowing red illuminating brighter than the sun even in the daytime. "I am the lurker, the great predator, the predator of predators, I am the King of the Night himself and I have come to bestow judgment on the humans of Talen. But you lot will have to wait for me as you know I was in a very important conversation before you intruded."
"Ki.. King... King of the Night?", the entire human army asked simultaneously. "But that simply isn't possible".
I looked at the leader of the human army intimidating him his heart was about to pop but he kept on a brave facade to lead his people.
Inhaling the air around me to cast upon all the same power that once rewrote the history of Hilderia.
"Let this be known to all, Origin of time at my beck and call..."
"What are you saying? You're not the king of the Night you're a fraud".
"Yeah!" the army said in unison.
"As captain of defense, I Uhtred Gill command all present to take that kid down."
They all fired projectiles of different varieties toward me.
I kept chanting, "Brother most loved, Timus I know it's been a while but serve me in this endeavor."
Slowly everything began to slow down.
Uhtred being the strongest presently on the human side was able to move slowly towards me as the effect of time eventually caught up to him.
"Uhtred Gill, for this defiance to me knowing fully well who I am you will be marked by the curse of the Beast. Everything on Hilderia that hunts will come to hunt you down."
I walked majestically toward Uhtred and marked his right eye sealing him with the curse.
The flow of time around the world was still normal, this time the power was meant to this detain small group and it did just that.
"AALIYAH!!!", wait this voice belonged to Tobi.
What atrocities was nature about to commit now?
