Chereads / Devil Bones / Chapter 8 - Part 12

Chapter 8 - Part 12

Long ago the demons went to the devil explaining how the imp type demons of purgatory was a problem. The devil didn't think much of them at first, but seeing how scared the other demons were he started to feel threatened.

Maestro explained to his father how he found out he was a demon. His father was confused, and didn't really understand. He asked how long has he been a demon. Maestro responded since birth, but he himself just found out recently. After hearing since birth, the father thinks about his wife realizing the situation. He dropped to his knees, and started crying. Maestro tried to comfort his father telling him that it'll be ok. His father cuts him off stating that none of this is ok. That his wife is dead, his house is destroyed, and apparently...his son is a demon. Moving around so much his father's adrenaline went down, and shortly after he started feeling the pain from his injuries. It all came back in one motion which caused his father to pass out.

Maestro stood there for a second thinking about everything his father just said. He realized he was the reason this was all happening. He grabbed his father's phone, and called the ambulance. He places it back while telling his unconscious father that he was sorry for everything. He started walking away as a singular cloud in the night sky followed.

Meeting up at the park, Maestro tells Sylo that he has made his decision, and that he's ready to go. Sylo acknowledged his choice then apologized for having him leave on bad terms. Maestro told him not to worry, that if was good terms it would've made the decision harder to choose. Maestro decided to change the topic, and asked about how they were going to get there...back to hell. Sylo made a large smile on his face looking at Maestro. He tells him that he would have to die. Maestro jumped in fear hearing that, and started questioning him in disbelief. Sylo chuckled then apologized for telling jokes at this time. He then states that the two of them would have to go to a specific place to get there. Also stating that humans refer to this place as gate city.

Maestro was shocked hearing gate city due to it being pretty far from where they was. He then asked how was they going to get there. Sylo responded that they were going to fly there. Maestro was concerned about flying the entire way to gate city. Sylo stated that he'll be fine, and swooped him up wrapping the both of them in cloud covering. They float up in to the air, and flies off.

One the way there, Maestro asked Sylo if he had any more information on his prior life. Sylo responded that in his vision he saw a young white demon. The name Makeshift was revealed to him in this vision as well. After that he able to trace that feeling back to Maestro. Sylo then tells him that's all the information he has about him. Maestro tries to think about his prior life, but his memory on the topic was mostly blank. He was concentrating so hard he ended up falling asleep.

He looks around to see what he believes is hell. As he looks around in confusion, he hears large foot steps getting closer. He turns around to see a fire golem approaching him. He started walking back, but stopped after feeling rumbling. He looks back, and sees an earth golem breaking out of the ground behind him. Maestro jumps in fear subconsciously heading back towards the fire golem. He stops once again after realizing he was surrounded by both golems. He tried to make a fire blade, but only sparks came out of his hands. Like a lighter without the fluid. Maestro was confused on why this was happening, but had to move because the golems were attacking.

The two golems reached downwards, but he moved just in time making them hit their heads. Maestro used to this to his advantage, and ran away. As he runs, he hears the voice tell him that he's getting closer, and to keep going. Maestro ignores the voice as he was prioritizing escaping the golems. He feels the ground shake again as the devil's skeletal head popped out of the ground, and tries to eat Maestro.

He wakes up immediately after, and instantly started screaming. Sylo had to hurry up, and calm him down reminding him that they're flying high in the air. Maestro takes deep breaths while trying to gather his thoughts. Sylo then asked if he has nightmares frequently. Maestro replied that it hasn't stopped since his birthday. Sylo didn't have anything else to say, feeling bad for what happening to him. Maestro then asked where they were, after seeing the sun rise behind them. Sylo responded that they have made it to their destination as he points down. They have arrived to gate city.
