It was a Thursday Midnight when I came across it.......
I was walking down a street in Manhattan at midnight where I saw something strange, a creature about 5 feet tall from what I could see, it had skin that looked like they were made from copper and the colour was green, it also had a horn on its forehead. People around me could not notice the monster in front of them. Just then a sudden flash hit my eyes, and then I was standing inside a stadium, lots of people were cheering and shouting, and in front of me there were about 20 of those same monsters, then the scene shifted, the 20 monsters who were in front of me now lay dead... they turned into dust and disappeared. I was suddenly back to my vision, the monster who was a few meters ahead of me was now gone. At its place remained a trash can. What was happening to me? Was I going mad? But I felt something was wrong I felt like I knew this monster and have defeated it countless times. I walked back home still horrified by the sight and went to bed. The next morning, I woke up and made breakfast which was basically cereal and milk. If you don't already know my name (of course you don't know my name I never introduced myself! I am an idiot) my name is Nico Solace. I am a 15-year-old boy in my first year of high-school it has been about 3 moths and my first term has just ended and this is our last day of school before our vacations. I got ready for school and went outside. As I was walking to my school, I had a strange feeling that someone was watching me. As I looked around to see if someone was there, then someone came and put his hand around my shoulder, 'What's up Nico'? He said I turned around and saw my friend Felix. 'Fine' I said. 'Why are you looking so gloomy eh? 'Not in a good mood.' I said. 'Well, okay I'll meet you in school bye.' 'Yeah, bye.' I said. I reached my school and went to my classroom. My school's name is Camelot Academy also one of the best high schools in America. I reached my classroom on time (somehow). The first class was Chemistry which I didn't particularly like. I was looking through the window thinking about what happened last night.
The school ended, and it was mid-June and starting from tomorrow our summer holiday starts. I was walking down the school ground when I saw something unusual, a sword embedded in a pedestal. I walked closer and saw some words on the pedestal which I could not understand. The sword itself had a pitch-black blade and a hilt had something written which I couldn't understand, and the hilt was decorated with red and blue line of cloth. Curious, I touched the sword, and I got a huge shock, I fell down with pain and a painful sensation in my brain and blacked out. I woke up in a different place than before, the place felt rather ominous. I looked around and saw nothing except darkness. I stood up and suddenly from behind someone put his hand on my shoulder. I quickly turned around and saw a boy who by looked a year older than me, and had long dishevelled hair and a face which resembled mine but only a bit, he was wearing unusual clothing some of which I've never seen before, a long piece of black cloth draping his shoulder till the waist and a medieval Greek leg wear. 'Who are you and what is this place.' I asked as there was no one around me. 'This is the Realm Of the Shadows'he said. 'How do you know that.' I asked, 'Cause I am the maker of it.' he said. 'What do you mean you're the maker of it, and how did I end up here' I asked him? 'Cause I summoned you here' he said. 'How and why' I asked. 'Well, basically the sword you touched has a soul and, and it's me.' 'And I have chosen you to be my partner' he said incredibly fast. 'No thanks' I said. 'C'mon now! I searched for thousands of years to find the reincarnation of my previous partner' he said. 'What in the world are you saying!' I said. 'The Gods have come to an agreement that you should be the one who will wield me and destroy the Demon King.' he said. 'What Gods and What Demon King and why me there are millions of other people out there but why me?' I asked. 'There might be millions of other people, but only you are the one who is the reincarnation of the hero who sealed away the Demon King' he said. 'So, I have no choice but to agree or else?' I asked. 'Or else hundreds or even thousands of universes may be destroyed' he said. 'Okay then, if it helps people I am in' I said because I have no choice. 'Yay! He said. 'So, I have some questions' I continued, so does the Demon King another name so just in case if some evil guy called his name, I would know' I said. Well, there is another name which his servants call him, The Dark Lord'. Just then the place started to shake. 'W- what's happening'? I asked. 'I guess we are out of time, sorry, but you must go now byeee, and beware of monsters!' he said. I woke up back in the school ground still shaken by that conversation. Beside me there was the sword, still in its pedestal. I stood up and pulled the sword from its pedestal. Then somehow, I was teleported back to my house, the pedestal also came inside my house (don't ask me how) so I placed the pedestal near the sofa and put the sword back in it. I made my dinner, which was this time cup noodles and slept peacefully.
I woke up the next morning and got ready as I had to meet my friend Felix. For breakfast, I made as you might have guessed already (hint starts with c and ends with k) cereal and milk and wore a dark blue hoodie and jeans. I locked my front door and my back door, I saw my sword and thought of leaving it here, but the spirit of the sword did warn me about monsters, so I pulled it out. 'Hey, spirit of the sword can you turn into something small that I can carry around without raising any suspicion?' I asked awkwardly. It suddenly turned into a keychain and stuck itself to my jeans. I went outside and started walking down the street to my friend's house, just then the surrounding air started to get cooler every passing second, in front of me there was a dense fog and there was an ominous aura in the air.... I felt like someone was watching my every move, I looked around and saw a person about an inch taller than my height (I am 5'7) and had a sword with a sheath he had a coat which covered his face, so I couldn't make out his face and he was atop above a 10-floor building. He grinned at then disappeared with the fog and the cold air. Somehow, I couldn't move for a while. When I started to move, I ran as fast I could as I was incredibly late and worried the potential Demon King's servant might attack Felix and his momMiss Maria. I reached his house, the place looked perfectly fine as if too fine. I rang the doorbell and Felix opened the door. 'Hi there Nico Come on in' he said. I walked inside the house. The house was spacious and had two floors and two bedrooms one on the second floor and one on the first floor, The living room extended to the backyard which had a pool, and the walls were covered with blue and pink paint, there were pictures of Felix's Dad who had died in a car accident before Felix was born. 'So why did you call me' I asked. 'Well, yesterday I saw a sword on my way back home in the school grounds!' he said.
'And what did you do about it' I asked. 'Well, then the sword suddenly disappeared and instead there was a mop in its place, so I couldn't see it properly, but I think I might be hallucinating because of the last period, which was Chemistry, but I want to hear your take on the situation' he said. 'And there have been sightings of monsters so do you think that the sword is to defeat the monsters' he said 'You've got to be kidding me' I said. 'A sword OK, believable someone must have forgotten their prop item but a literal monster!' I laughed. He seemed to be angry. Just then his mother, Miss Maria, she was in her 30s and had long brown hair, and she was wearing a gown with blue strips, 'Hello kids, would you like some mac and cheese?' she said. 'Yeah sure. I said. (of course, I wouldn't miss on some mac and cheese.). I was in middle of eating when the whole place shook like an earthquake had just hit us. I fell to the ground. 'What just happened!' I said. I looked outside and saw the one thing I feared would come here, monsters. There were hordes of monsters, all of them starting to surround the house most of them were mokoblins. Some of them were Auramorphs, who can turn any part of their body to a sharp object. I didn't know how I knew this, but I knew. I opened the door. 'Why are the Police here' Felix said. 'What do you mean by Police they are literal monsters' I said. 'What do you mean' he said. Just then a mokoblin shot and arrow, and it hit Miss Maria in the stomach and she fell down to her knees, Felix screamed in horror. 'What are they doing!!!' said Felix. 'Take her to the hospital fast!' I said. Now I had to take care of these guys. Then suddenly I had a sudden flash of bright light, I was standing in the stadium again this time my body (or is it even my body) was covered in slashes and was also stabbed, I was feeling immense pain, but I couldn't do anything. Infront of me there were three Ogres, they were creatures big as entire buildings and have the strength to destroy entire buildings. They had one eye and had 2 horns with a spear. The body moved suddenly, just before the spear pierced, whoever's body this was they were skilled. As I dodged another ogre came from behind and threw me down to the viewer's seats. I crashed down and felt pain like never before. I was barely able to stand, just then I saw three people in the thrones. Judging by their appearance and clothing they might be king, Queen and the Princess. The king and the queen were running away but only the Princess remained watching me. Then suddenly a sword flew to my hand, it was the Sword of the shadows. Now I realized whose body this was, the only person who wielded this blade other than me was my ancestor, Kaion Solace. I didn't know how this was my ancestor, but I knew it had to be him. I came back from now I know the Memory. While I was in the memory, time had stopped somehow and when I came back everything was still not a single soul moved. Then time started, they charged at me I pulled out my sword which has reshaped itself back. I blocked their attack they had weapons this time I was able to annihilate a few mokoblins, then one of the Auramorphs attacked it turned its hand to an axe I sidestepped and slashed my blade through the heart.
Then suddenly I fell through a dark portal which had appeared beneath me. And appeared behind all the monsters, I didn't know how I ended up here, but it gave me a huge advantage. From behind I destroyed at least most of the mokoblins and 2 of the remaining 4 Auramorphs. Now only a few mokoblins and 2 Auramorphs were left, they had corned me and then one of the monsters leaped towards me, but I was able push him back towards the other monsters. All of them fell, I jumped but I missed my shot just then a mokoblin came from behind, but at the right time I dodged and pierced him. All of them tried to attack me as a group but I was able to defeat them before they could do anything then they turned into dust and disappeared.
I was glad it was finally over.
