She sat upright in her bed with a gasp. She just had a terrible nightmare. Not only that, she fumbled by the bedside table, trying to find her phone in the dark, but couldn’t find it. She knew she left it there.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxintjccVI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquiPsHAlQN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbWaekgy3f
Someone on the other side of the bed, stirred in their sleep upon hearing the ruckus and turned to look at the person fumbling in the dark.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4rliTEVFS

"What the-?" a bed lamp light soon turned on as the person who had been woken switched it on. "Nicani kanshi? (What is wrong now?) What are you looking for? And in the early hours of the morning?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZizTW1AGkz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98CvBttHrG
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsff4cJ6h27
She didn’t answer at first until she realized that her phone isn’t anywhere nearby. She turned to look at her husband beside her.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNH8WRd0c
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM67nm4FNLx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5eMWVLODP
"Pepani (sorry)," she apologized. "I was looking for my phone, have you seen it?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGVvZkCkdn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRYRczM7sg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXATU0ATZf
"Mm?" her husband can’t believe this. "Who do you want to call at this time?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkkjyNmArr
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFMBV0Fg6S
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7C2lOL6gQ
"It's urgent," she said as she pushed the covers aside to get out of bed.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsP0y0aHv5

"Check your dressing table," her husband muttered as he dropped his head back onto the pillow. "That’s where you left it last night."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnJbcOlKNN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFxntVtTuJ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRQe110cUM
In her black nightdress, she went to the dressing table and found her phone there like her husband said. She quickly took it and turned around to get her black sleeping gown at the foot of the bed. In her bare feet, she quickly went to the door and left the room. Her husband growled as he lifted his head to see the door left wide open. He muttered and slowly sat up.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLualUoTbKL

She walked down the quiet, dark hallway until she made a corner, entering a room. She flipped the switch and the lights went on in the living room. Likewise, she turned to her phone to make a call.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPkyVwWJuC
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEzTjn02W8
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsgcW3wM69
When she put the phone to her ear, the line on the other end didn’t even ring as the automated phone system said the person she’s trying to reach had their phone switched off.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8h7MUA028
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgnXjScCsx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZluBc9traQ
"I told her not to be switching off her phone," she muttered angrily as she looked at her phone to make a call to someone else.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk5IOsw5Tw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdRSn2l596
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUFZTjqVM5
After finding the person’s line, she called it. This time it went through. She only hoped that the person would answer.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7kWjuZrng

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSr6FX4C2j
She started to pace up and down, bypassing the glass table on the white and black zebra print carpet. Not only that, she didn’t think of sitting on the black leather seats as with each minute that passed, her anxiety increased.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzv7wand6Xb
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5G61o3Zri
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjQPZb5for
When the person on the other end didn’t pick up either, she sucked her teeth and tried to call again when she realized that someone is in the room. She turned to find her husband there in his blue pyjamas, looking sleepy as ever. She now felt guilty for waking him up.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQhY5vSuHj

"Who are you trying to call?" he asked. "Don’t tell me it's Diana."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7qNUWc2b0

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhbbpQ1GnM
"So?" Diana’s mother asked. "I just want to know how she’s doing?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWbzwdQPo3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKy5x4T6jz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZiwEMiXlH
"At this time?" her husband approached her. "She’s asleep. And you know she switches off her phone."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCHPh1dy5L

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog0XIeJcg0
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpOxOdbxK4
Diana’s mother growled in frustration. She quickly went over to one of the chairs to sit, her head buried in her hands. Her husband came to join her.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVMhO1bgT
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQuMQql7rf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBh46KLUW1
"You don’t understand," she said, dropping her hands to look at him. "I had another dream about her and this time it felt different."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb770Y5hWNi
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrq0kqV0ynu
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgThLGwnuK
He put his hand on her shoulder. "What could be so different about this one?" he asked.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKwc7Mf21j
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBrlPf4gYm
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TxhJriyRw
Before she spoke, she bit her lip. She didn’t know how to explain it. Her previous dreams over the years weren’t as vivid and intense as this one.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8fPS4y3wV
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjk3g4K6Rn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIILkhMNk9X
"I can’t explain, Atake Diana (Father to Diana). Everything about this dream felt real. I feel Diana could be in huge trouble."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f1RKAlOZu
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIcU5TKmm4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWgCbRClrD
"That’s what you always say when you have these dreams," said Diana’s father. "Aren’t they just dreams? How many have you had over the years, but they've never happened?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIznL5nkqzU
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzDqXoCLpp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9HD9BEENZ
Diana’s mother now sat upright, shaking her head. "What if they did? I believe they did. Besides, Diana doesn’t always tell us what goes on in her life. She’s so secretive."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetWaI0tPHF
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1tYUIaeQI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuSHwNYyz
"That’s because she’s a teen. You’re forgetting that people at such an age are difficult to make them open up."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2nV5ue5ro
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta6ZklScf0
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KwVgFd5mV
"No, I’ve always had a feeling that she's been hiding something from us. She’s a good girl, but I feel there’s a lot going on in her life that we don’t know about."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lQeVDk7fy
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKkzeL3Vtn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡByJ3VSoClI
Her husband rolled his eyes. "Please, don’t bring up those incidences that were happening in the neighbourhood. Those were explainable accidents, and you can’t point a finger at Diana. Most of the time she wasn’t even there, and they happened almost four years ago."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPN9xDjmjJ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGs6ucVBJk

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAg9Hzn92xk
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEsEDfsLkc
"Enough, please. That’s a long time ago and nothing has happened to her. You haven’t had terrible nightmares for years, so it's probably just nothing."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡie6cfnSzA0
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1ABngg6L5
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvgYiwy7AG
Diana’s mother looked at her husband, still with a worried look. She looked away. As much as he might be right, her intuition ate at her terribly. She can’t just ignore what she dreamt. If anything, it felt more like the first vivid dream she had of Diana; that she had died. She remembered calling the school to check up on her, and they told her Diana was perfectly fine. When Diana came home for the holidays, there was something different about her.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT33H1ElXS

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmvaxGhZdV
"Tiyeni (come), let’s go back to sleep," her husband persisted as he held her hand on her lap. "If you want, you and I can call your mother sometime in the morning." 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06XjBZTJfs
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBx0liDjnc
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTuEQDEkeY
She couldn’t argue with him there, but she felt she wouldn’t be able to go back to sleep. Not until she hears that Diana is alright. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pP2LN6xSC

"Okay, can I send a message to Katy so that she calls me when she sees it?" she asked. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQpivrbNaO

"Be quick," Diana’s father stood. "If you’re not in the room in two minutes, I’ll come and drag you if I have to." 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgpKVltBa9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDD54l8IQW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjP16YbrF1
With quiet, steady steps, Diana’s father walked out of the room, leaving his wife still seated on the couch. She quickly sent Katy a text, but she knew it wasn’t enough.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQQyacCr1b

Namatama stood up from her seat and slowly started to make her way out of the living room. She thought she saw a shadow pass through the window, outside. Likewise, she stopped to draw aside the curtain. A neighbour’s floodlight shone brightly in the next yard. For a moment, she thought maybe a cat had passed atop the wall fence, causing the shadow she saw.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4lJgOwUnm
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT1oUtx5KP
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5BrJDQ0fE
Before she was able to push the curtains, she thought she had seen something through the corner of her eye in the room. Her heart skipped a beat as she quickly turned to see if there’s anyone there. The only people awake are she and her husband, and she would've heard him if he had made his way back in the living room.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvRMro3jOR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7kkQttA86

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUJQEf3BaF
"And what if you aren’t?" came a voice.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0lhCAiBJm
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jp86vhFpd
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxOgqcpCf
As soon as she heard it, she jumped in fright and almost screamed, but someone covered her mouth with their hand from behind, holding her in place. Diana’s mother is now terrified that there's a stranger in the house. She started to breathe heavily.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡseS4WJqGw2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB28h59KcuE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwExmLPpH2
"Don’t move, and I won’t hurt you," came the voice in a soft, yet dangerous whisper. "Calm down. I’ll uncover your mouth. Don’t scream or else I'll kill you. Nod if you understand."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMjS1IOZa1
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ90FiBD0SI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLpgPiy1W6
She nodded, and started to slow her breathing. Her heart beat fast like a drum that she could hear it. The person’s hand over her mouth slowly fell away, and she felt relieved. She quickly looked behind her, but no one is there.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMG4c8igbD
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXx20xJ3W0
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC8weaFgfW
"Don’t freak out," came the voice again, this time in front of her. "I want you to slowly turn towards me."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt61YjUCey
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaST0HUqAA
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipeieQqgqS
She swallowed and slowly turned her head back. Likewise, she found someone standing in front of her, all dressed in black and floating in midair. Namatama gasped in fright as she thought she would never come across the terrifying skull-faced mask ever again.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDkjFNLSuY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAl9ZFWj9T2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFQzDJc2Re
"Hello, Namatama," came a female voice behind the mask. "Long time no see."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6eCv4mnSv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg2Hwts7XH
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuOE4jQcDR
"What are you doing here?" Namatama asked, her voice breaking with both fear and anger. "I thought I told you not to show yourself ever again."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZtKkXEZeY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUV6Zmkul34
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSkeMjMZ8G
The floating figure raised her hand to remove the mask. Behind it lay a young face of a woman with light, brown skin and sharp, dark eyes like that of a cat. Her lips were coloured black, and she grinned at Namatama with her white, razor sharp teeth glowing in the dark.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZKn9tcOHy

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlt5flkGfX
"I know," said the lady in front of her. "But aren’t you up thinking about your daughter, Diana?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNwtzvsZe7
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYJk51akwn
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy090cIA8lD
Namatama froze, looking at the lady before finding her voice. "What do you know about her?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8GsGvD5Ws
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OzWL2Hq6n
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgj1DeIIRj2
The woman chuckled. "It’s sad that you don’t know what’s going on. So much has happened over the years that you’ve failed to notice."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjeV1kCAae
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNzIc19NvA

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnQgyKEJSY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7iUl3eHH2
The woman floating in the air came a little closer. "You know that she’s beyond special. It’s been that way from the day she was born." 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDWOMyIJHN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2fRgMbCXx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCTBnYPZQv

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtyPc49ViT

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTH3cTl9k6i
"Honey, why aren’t you here yet?" Diana’s father called out. Namatama almost muttered out loud, upset that her husband could call out like that when everybody else is fast asleep.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAj9dJzwWCs

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1QTOTB4hH
"I think you already know how she started behaving when she came back from boarding school a couple of years ago. Some might think she was going through puberty, but you as a mother knew better."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WO9XZ231s

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR4kVFpFKz
The woman in black nodded. "Yes. She’s been trying to act as normal as she can around you, but it's been difficult to keep it under wraps with all those weird events that used to happen."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkar2qs01hE
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwjhgacv9P

Namatama continued to back away as her heart started to feel heavy with grief. She felt a sharp piercing through her heart and tears already started to fill her eyes. "What have I done?" she muttered. "What have I done?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpTpvRGH1Y
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOLrf1vNz5
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp92xBaBFMn
Her hand flew to her chest as she sank to her knees onto the carpeted floor. Tears quickly fell onto her cheeks as she covered her mouth. The woman in black continued to look at her as she said:288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumKF5JdPuU
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqvcfXuph2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2Jr4MccB9
"As heartbreaking as this is, you should know that Diana is a very strong girl. But I’m afraid the danger she is facing right now is too great that she has to brace herself."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSndoPrmKg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgxZA7ITHw
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0apLzIjS4

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hOqFXvLw6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHmlB2UKsW
The smile the woman had earlier plastered onto her face again. "A lot has happened over the years that has made your daughter the bravest girl I’ve ever seen. She’s been through a lot. And for a girl her age, I’m surprised she has matured this quickly, especially with her true nature coming into fruition. Many people wouldn’t have handled it as well as she has."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcehcGyiTmd
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZ80XVMJFD
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzWdLJXnf2

The woman put up a genuine smile. "Just like you, Diana is also very important to me. Don’t make the mistake of not telling her. It's best it comes from you and not anyone else."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4aGII8wLl

"Namatama, what did I tell you about…?" came her husband, and he paused upon seeing his wife on the floor. "What are you doing?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7L6p6EeQR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1I8xjUmn8
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb3pwVVmdr
Namatama quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes and stood up. She looked in front of her and the woman in black had disappeared.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3pgmOLp87

Namatama couldn’t argue there as she followed her husband who made sure to switch the lights off in the living room.

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6FZVYLzAK
I look back at him, trying to relive what happened. "Well, I’ve encountered shadow monsters and also a level one." I feel Stella look at me. I must have forgotten to mention that I had faced a level one before. "And this one felt like the one I fought before. Shadow monsters might be mindless creatures that love to bring about destruction, but there’s something about a level one that has always kept me wondering whether they really do think on their own."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFsxNglyBe

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfObdbaevn
Lucifer chuckled. "While the supernatural world is a mystery to normal people, many supernaturals have also been blinded about their own world for years. Only a few go looking for the truth, and they don't like what they find. I hate to be so flippant about revealing the truth, but I'm not the only one who can control them."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVaj0Q5FnK

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡae4idqCfqY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslBGPhcgqJ

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYm4av1hoov
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvko70VAIv8
"Yes. But…," he now stood up from his seat and went to one of the bookshelves in the room. "There are a few requirements that you’ll need."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgU20UvMDB
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGtw0ZGSKz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYjxUy7trs

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONa2qm24vc
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fsEeoFt1p
Lucifer ignored him by not commenting. He looked through the bookshelves at the thick books with hard black covers. I know you're not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but you can tell nothing good comes from those books.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3NE0Uq16D
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU94cnzsAhK
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4yaX0co58
"Okay," he took one thick book on the shelf and brought it to the desk. It looked so thick that I’m glad I’ll never get to read it. Who knows what dark things it holds.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4drcwEqMhW
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdU2vgEubLq
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcsKAdoNgX
He started to flip through the pages and I couldn’t help but take a peek. The pages are old, and I noticed that whoever wrote the book, had a pretty sharp, cursive handwriting. There were many drawings and illustrations on some pages and a few of them looked quite gruesome. Stella didn’t fringe away from looking at it. I turn to Mutale and I see him look the other side. Some Elite soldier, he is. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8EEkH0n9B
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5QEdG9WWz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLeO4fR7Iw
"So," I turn to look at Lucius behind me while we wait for Lucifer to find the page, "you say controlling a shadow monster is difficult. How difficult?" 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5VTTPys7g
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAWVjZRmU3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlH0MTfGczI
"Like my father put it, it’s frustrating and depending on what level it is, it gets painful," Lucius answered.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWkHtXddgD
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e01YJhGWP
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDt28fgTgUD

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rdokvoCHu
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6MrDQ1lCA
"The way you control it is almost similar to the way you can mind control a human being. It’s easier on humans because you can manipulate the mind. We already know shadow monsters are mindless, so you really have to dig a little deeper to take control of them, meaning it takes up a lot of your energy."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HKLxKn64f
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1irT2kgs3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Zpd4qe5zd
"And if you aren’t careful," Lucifer chirped in as he continued to flip through the pages, "you might end up breaking your mind."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMcW13dl0C
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DcmA7lOyx
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwsvKL5ikJ
"I’m guessing whoever brought up the rumour that only the devil can control such things, must have done so to prevent us from ever thinking that we can control one," I said.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqomyPL2FWL
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw90YRGoiZY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNhW7lxfWJ
Lucifer chuckled. "True. We did that because we know if many supernaturals broke their minds, we would’ve a lot of them causing havoc when that’s my job. And I am at least a little lenient." I gave him a look on that last part.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8hNMxNbh8

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4riiQ5hcFp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbO4VGPcR
"The Immortals of Old," he answered as he continued looking through the pages. "Those who have lived from the beginning of time, so to say."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAqsvzuV77
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cnRQQATl3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzpST2XMxf

"If I can recall, the person who was in charge of the Butterfly Island before her Highness was there too," Lucifer looks up at Stella.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXEZtDkCWM
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnyi6vLbIv
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbqYn837mQ

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEbDrjDoK2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXDWw2OAc
"What happened to him?" I asked. "Did he die or something?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq5yObR73N
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1zixHErA2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSuK1HxLvJ
"Killing an immortal is hard, and you know that better than anyone, Diana," said Lucifer. "That old fella is probably somewhere either in this world or the other in a peaceful place chanting mantras or something."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzgP5mvH8u
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvgA9MAxlD
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjc6Npj6It
"True," said Stella. "No one has actually heard from him in ages after leaving Her Highness in charge. I actually have never met him."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENoPQSyJQf
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBw7WtuYesP
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BJIKkef4X
That’s a shock. Whatever reason he had for leaving his position and going elsewhere must have been genuine. The world of the supernatural is just as confusing and chaotic as the human one. If also given the chance, I would also disappear.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS17KLUq0lN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJBlrtCAZI

"Ah, here it is," said Lucifer as his right finger landed on the desired page.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEsLYTZKPV
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJN7MlUaiO
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqnuJdAeEA
Stella and I quickly stood up from our seats to look. Mutale remained where he is. Lucius slowly came to join us at the table.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GELIz3fcg
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj3jV6xS5p
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZn0JBAZoN
"Okay, so," Lucifer pointed to the paragraph on the page. "Like I said, you must be a supernatural. It says here for you to control something as dark as a shadow monster, you must join the dark side."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGq8EIqQM5i
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡev7tnqtf2v
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDFGoSg6qD
"Meaning your side, right?" I asked, looking at Lucifer.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqRPb9uhJ9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIV40tiXNz
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJ9XdhtKAV
"Yep. Selling your soul to me, that kind of thing. And…, it says here you must also sacrifice the one thing that means precious to you and there are some blood rituals you’ve to perform with all the symbols and stuff."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1xUbn4jxN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPlivltJt3
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hG3S4bHmn
"Okay, but these are just the basic stuff that a lot of us could’ve already guessed," said Stella. "What we really want to know is who could it be."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡet0YgHBEdo
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHS3lvDgRp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMICuSNbrq
"Stella is right," I said, looking up from the book to Lucifer. "You say anyone can control a shadow monster and these are the requirements. Isn’t there anyone who can naturally control them like you do? What if the person we seek never had to perform this ritual?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHuv7etyhY
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsXQYLroF9
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ1sFHIBGz
Lucifer now looked at me and this time, he had a grim look. "I was afraid you were going to ask me that," he said. He looked down at the book and flipped through a couple of pages. "Apparently, you’re right. I’m not the only one who can control them naturally. There are two more beings that can."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC8Mdl6IPS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dB8ch4bF6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRzoHNlXgV
"Two more?" Lucius also can’t believe it.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRoEnizQsN

"You really should be reading more," Lucifer threw his son a look. "Let me skip to the last part."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jZNJ7w8WN
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzF5PdSAWU
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1tHAVP4K0
Lucifer pointed to the top left side of the book where there’s a list of names. His is the top. The second and third made my insides freeze. I should’ve known better, especially with the third.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGBDFq6MZF
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBSM1P7Ugh
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pUSn1ufHc

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJsN3MJvOQ
"Oh, I think it is." Lucifer brought his left hand up in midair and at the same time, Mutale is lifted off his seat and brought forward. He flinched at first, trying to get away from Lucifer’s invisible grip, but he knows it's pointless. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchLzItK82a

Lucifer turned the book the other way around for Mutale to look at. Mutale did his level best to look upwards, but with a simple bend of his index finger, Lucifer made Mutale’s head point downwards. The look on Mutale’s face as his eyes fell on the book said it all.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyCjPqbu4X
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqREo6whU1f
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRzx0bUv4Y
"No, no," Mutale muttered shaking his head. "This is a lie. This book holds nothing but lies."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9Z9kQI7Lo

"I’m sorry, but this book was written centuries ago," said Lucifer. "Like I said before, so many things have been hidden from us that we only know what we think is relevant because it’s been set that way for ages. No one likes to know the truth. We all just like to hide in the sweet bliss of ignorance."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrV9Hk4mOe

"Enough," I said, taking the book and turning it away from Mutale’s eyes. "There must be a reasonable explanation for this. May you please put him back down?"288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVAR37Aw83

Lucifer dragged Mutale back to his seat, making him land onto the chair. This time, gently.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUK2a0ndWSC

"Well, I think I’ve taken in a lot of these revelations for one day," said Stella as she looked at me. She soon went to sit back down on her chair.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjuG23YOSe
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzynL8f3TI
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWwRMHib8Y
I look at Mutale, and he still looked horrified. I feel bad for him. It’s not easy receiving the truth like he did just now. Even I’m trying to take it all in.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjNKoHGQoF

I went back to look at the list and I realized that just after the first three were a few more. But the names were written in a symbolic language that I couldn’t recognize.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSiWJIFRQi
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVGwRMK8Ek
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6fgLB2kkX
"What does this mean?" I asked Lucifer as I pointed at the other names. "I can’t seem to recognize the words."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7fU6MYa6m

"Whoever has control over shadow monsters has his name automatically written in the book," he answered as he looked at the page.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqGPkD7Bgp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76dlSIYvOS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i0JJGqcig

Lucifer now looked at me and that charming smile of his came back. "It’s not necessary. If I were you I should be more worried about number 3."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4pm9hvm4k
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuBLLLTszi
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7AYHj8rF7
"He’s right," said Lucius. "I'm not surprised if he so happens to have sent the shadow monster after you."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVGxeag2QZ
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqfKgtNif6
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGWQlGlzzT
"I’m worried about number 2," said Stella. "The thought of Him sending a shadow monster after Diana creeps me out."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPprawuGXX3

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡApA4XZoHeH
"Don’t say that," Mutale spoke up. "He can never do such a thing. That book says nothing but lies."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOyS8ixDrC
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4SXgmoqRR
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLboeTUF7rN
"I’m sorry," said Lucifer, raising an eyebrow at Mutale. "But isn’t He the same person who created day and night? Light and darkness?" He sighed. "Let me tell you a little something to ease your mind a little."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11uXrA9Ec
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYoWxKmiuS
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZODYeiJ92
Everyone now turned their attention to Lucifer. So did Mutale.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO857GcEQ1J

"As much as He can control shadow monsters, He wouldn’t do it just to get to Diana," Lucifer continued. "He has you Elite soldiers for that. If He wanted to, I bet He would’ve sent his angels to do the job, but the Golden Elite decided to take up the role."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFuRowEJVO

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfzFx4I8tp
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qeixVmUol
"He can’t control a shadow monster without me knowing about it, so he’s already out of the question. It’s just the way it is. Moreover, if I try to do something similar to the light, he would know. That’s why the two of us have always stayed in our lane to not bring about confusion. But I do like to give him a challenge once in a while."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBfKGsg1M9

My heart felt at ease. Stella looked relaxed and Mutale exhaled in relief. 288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNTIxS8OiM

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPPPGl2BKc

Lucifer threw his son another look showing that he’s annoyed with him. Before he could throw a comment, a knock came at the door. For a moment, I forgot about where we were and that there are people in the house. Lucifer told whoever was at the door to come in, and the door flew open. A woman in a black dress and white apron stood there. She is short and plump with her blonde hair tied into a bun. This must be the house help.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGHJSAIbcv

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqTvIi6nNnS
"Yes, bring it in. I want you to tell the guards to get everyone out of the house," Lucifer ordered. "The place looks like a hellhole."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrawGDB3D72
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLODX7fB0a
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Pu3NSItfc
Apart from the help, we all look at Lucifer with a questioning look. This place just happens to be one of his many hellholes.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRILF69q6f3

The help dragged in a movable tray behind her and there are all sorts of delicious breakfast treats: chocolate chip cookies, eggs, bacon, bread and cereal for any of us craving for it. There were plenty of white teacups, plates and bowls to go around. And after all that’s happened in the last few hours, I now feel hungry.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShOgjtFA0A

The help soon left and Lucifer said, "please, dig in. As for you," he turned to Mutale, "you also better eat up after receiving the news that your wonderful Being isn’t involved in this mess."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuF7ewT03P2
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEoP86yVk4
288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iGff8Ehep
"Are you seriously asking me to eat?" Mutale asked, sounding surprised.288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39AS7bnQzF

288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMmtfkfdUp
"I need to eat too," said Lucifer as he also went to the tray. "I drank too much last night, I didn't have a bite to eat."288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1riYdaYlV

I watched the three surrounding the tray before my eyes flew back to the open book before me. My eyes are gravely fixed on the name that's third on the list and my hunger quickly dissipated. I should've known earlier that there's only one being who really wants to get rid of me with all their might:288Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NiNdDW0vQ
