episode 4: the judgement demon

Sasha was the first to wake up uncomfortably, she looked around and saw the weird animals sleeping I'm their pens and stables, she saw red pigs with white wings and blue horses with horns, she looked to her side and found Damien still sleeping. " so this is real huh" she said to herself, it seemed that it was going to take a while before the realization that they were in another world would sink in. Just then Monroe began to wake up and yawned loudly. " morning Sasha" he said to a startled Sasha " what's wrong". " oh nothing, its just....I'm not that used to talking to my dog" Sasha said as she stood up and dusted the hay on her body. " wee get used to it, cuz trust me I'm the most normal thing you're gonna see around here" Monroe said " go on and wake Damien up " Monroe said as he dusted the hay off his body. " why, what's the rush" asked Sasha as she tapped Damiens face softly. " cuz we gotta leave before..." Monroe didn't finish his sentence before that same old lady bargen in with a pitch fork " I taught I made myself clear that this isn't a charity! " yelled the old lady. " ...that happens" said Monroe. just then Damien woke up and was saw the old lady with the pitch fork and was more confused than ever

" now that's what I'd call too close for comfort " said Sasha as she and the rest were panting profusely. They had just narrowly escaped the crazy old lady and ran as fast as they could and were resting against the wall of a nearby clothing shop that was made of white bricks, the elves that walked passed them couldn't help but notice how weird they looked. " okay, we need new clothes " said Sasha. " yeah but we don't have any money " said Damien. " That doesn't have to be the case " said Monroe as he stared at a beverage shoo opposite the clothing shop which they leaned against. " we could get a job " said Monroe as he walked towards the shop. " really, why don't I just flash my reaper sword, I'm pretty sure everyone would give us what we want, just like the sailor " said Damien. immediately he said that Monroe walked towards him with a scary look on his face that even made Sasha concerned. " okay listen here, while we're here, I don't want to see you with that sword or even mention the word reaper unless you wanna see how an elfan jail looks like " said Monroe. " Got it, you're the boss " said Damien who looked like he'd just pissed his pants.

Meanwhile in the higher class of the elfen kingdom, the elfen soldiers were fighting off the darkness that had appeared recently. " stand your ground men, we are the legendary elfen warriors, we don't accept defeat " said the commander of that squadron. the elfen soldiers wore a charmed armor that resisted magic and used two swords one that glowed green which can repel magic spells and one glowing red which could slice through anything, no wonder they were legendary but that had little to no effect in the fight against darkness, they fought the darkness and tried to stop it from entering the city but its lack of a physical form gave it an advantage, it forged blades with its hands and slit every single soldiers throat. " elfen strength, whirlwind" said the commander as he tried to use a tornado to fight the darkness since it was like smoke but that didn't stop it the slightest as it rushed right at the commander and entered his mouth, the commanders while body began to shrivel up and crack as he choked in pain, his eyes turned completely black and he collapsed dead. just then the darkness came out of the mouth and gathered to take the figure of a man without a physical body " well I guess you're not as strong as you looked" said the darkness. just then it looked at its right and saw a trembling soldier who witnessed the event, the soldier looked young and was probably a new recruit. " well what do we have here, let's see how strong you are shall we" said the darkness as it rushed into the soldiers mouth, he choked in pain and collapsed on the floor and was shaking in agony but this time was a bit different because his eyes didn't turn black, instead it turned red and the black veins that appeared all over his body began to disappear and he stopped shaking. He got to his feet and raised his head and began to smile as his eyes were turning white again. " perfect" said the soldier as he picked up his sword and walked above the hundreds of dead soldiers towards elfen city

AN ELFEN SOLDIER

Meanwhile Damien, Monroe and Sasha tried to get a job at the beverage shop. " welcome to ravees drink shop, how may I be of service " said the old man who sat at the counter. the whole decor of the place was kinda ancient with wooden tables and chairs and a glass window which could show the inside of the shop from outside, the place had no sitting customers but that is to be expected from a shop in the lower class of elfen Kingdom seeing as not many people could afford the luxury of sitting at the table and enjoying a beverage. " um we're looking for a job around here" said Monroe. The old man looked at Monroe and broke into laughter immediately. " I really don't see what's so funny" said Damien. " oh, you're serious, I'm terribly sorry for the ride gesture but I don't see how I could give you" said the old man. " And why is that " asked Sasha. " you're not exactly what I'd call attractive " said the old man. " What" said Sasha as she was obviously annoyed. " yunno its considered rude to call a lady ugly!" said Sasha as she was being held back by Damien. " calm down Sasha " said Damien as he tried to calm her down. " You're not ugly, you're just....weird ". said the old man. " ohhhh...now you've done it" said Monroe. " we're weird, your skin is blue!" said Sasha as she tried to break free. just then they heard a voice outside. " where's my money old lady!" said the voice. As they all turned back they saw a group of three male elves with markings on their hands oppressing an old lady, apparently apparently she was the owner of the clothing shop that was opposite the beverage shop. " oh no, its the black dragon...they'll soon be here, I better gather all my money" said the old man as he panicked to gather all the money he made for the day. " hey what's going on here" Damien asked. " They're the black dragon, they go around collecting money from unlucky shop owners who built their shops on their turf " said the man as he finished gathering the money he had made for the day. " That's not right " said Damien as he looked angrily through the window to see how they were oppressing the old lady. Damien was about to exit the beverage shop before Monroe held him back. " Damien, don't tell me you're gonna do what I think you're gonna do" said Monroe as he tried to caution Damien but Damien just shunned him and went out the door. " He's dead" said the old man. " please, this is all I've got, business was slow today" said the old lady. " this isn't even near half of what we collect here everyday" said one of the elves as he threw the sack of coins at the old womans' face. " she said that was all she got " said Damien who stood behind them. " and who the heck are you " asked one of the elves. " I'm Damien and I think you should leave" replied damien. " seeing as how rudely you're speaking to us I'll do you a favour and assume you're new around here, we're the black dragon and we own this part of town" replied one of the elves. " oh yeah, just wait till I inform the armed forces around here, then we'll see who really owns this town " said Damien with a smirk. " you fool, look around you" said one of the elves. just then Damien saw how some men in uniform were watching the whole event and still did nothing. " wait, aren't those guys royal guards or something " said Sasha. " yes, they are royal guards" replied the old man. " then why didn't they do anything against the black dragons" asked Sasha. " because the black dragon....is a government agency" said the old man. Monroe and Sasha gasped in shock. " a few years ago after the great reaper war which changed many things, elfen kingdom elected a new ruler, a young one. we all taught it would change things and elfen kingdom would be great again, but this ruler was no king at all, he was a greedy man and he did terrible things, he would call any woman he desires and have his way with them and send them to the lower class of elfen kingdom and get away with it, because he doesn't want his royal guards getting their hands dirty he formed the black dragon to work as his thugs to do his dirty work" explained the old man. Damien looked at the guard sin disgust and faced the people in front of him " well if the law has failed you, I recommended you take matters into your own hands then " said Damien. " ha, lemme looks like its time to teach a kid some manners " said one of the black dragon as he stretched out his hand and clenched his fist, the marking in his hands began to glow and there was lightening surrounding his hands. " take this you fool" said the elf as he charged straight for Damien. Damien saw him coming but didn't flinch, he knew that he was going to underestimate him and go for a predictable punch so he let him get close enough to try it. The gang member swung his lightening fist straight at Damien's face but Damien ducked and gave him an upper cut right under his jaw, the anger was shown in Damien's eyes seeing as he knows just how it feels to be oppressed. Although Damien's uppercut connected, all it did was send the member staggering back with a bloody nose. " heh, I guess we're doing this seriously then" said the gang member as he cleaned the blood and stared right at Damien, he spread open his eyes and charged at Damien again going for the punch but Damien ducked and landed another upper cut but this time he didn't move, he looked right at Damien and used his lightening fist to lunch him in the face. Damien was sent flying three feet in the air before hitting hard on the ground. " Damien!" yelled Sasha smas she rushed to help him. " ha, that's what happens to heroes around here" said the gang member as he walked back to his gang. " are you alright " asked Sasha. " he's just gonna do it again isn't he, he's just gonna pick on a defenseless old lady because he can, isn't he" said Damien, the anger and frustration can be heard in his tone. " that just makes me sick" said Damien as he opened his eyes, Sasha was shocked to find out that his eyeballs were now blue. " oh no" Monroe said from inside the shop. " is he what I think he is" asked the old man. Damien got up back to his feet and approached the black dragon members. " hmm, you want more?" asked the gang member Damien fought. " well I'm down " the gang member said as he charged straight for Damien again with his lightening fist and punched Damien but instead Damien blocked his fist and it seemed like the lightening had no effect on him. Just then Damien opened his eyes and looked at the gang member straight in the eyes. The gang member trembled in fear and to him, everywhere around them was total darkness. "I...I'm sorry, please let me..." he didn't finish his sentence before Damien interrupted " you seem to find pleasure in causing pain, let's see how you like it" Damien said as he placed his hand which was already starting to glow bright blue on the gang members chest, the gang member was sent flying more than 10 feet in the air with the bright blue glow all over his body and he crashed into the clothing store. The guards that watched the whole event retreated back. " oh my" exclaimed the old man " h...he's a reaper". " Damien that was amazing " said Sasha as she rushed over and touched Damien. just then Damien turned back and his eyes were back to normal. " he already knows how to use it huh" said Monroe to himself. " amazing, tell you what, I'll give you the job if you can guarantee that you'll protect my shop from those black dragon miscreants " said the old man excitedly as he got out to talk to Damien. " yes, we'll take the job" said Monroe as he rushed out to accept the job. " I taught you said no showing any reaper stuff" said Damien. " quiet kid, money's involved " said Monroe " okay, you guys can start right away" said the old man. " thank you young man for saving my shop " said the old lady who owned the clothing shop. " oh, it was nothing, I'm sorry bout the mess we made" said Damien. " ohh, its nothing, please as a show of my gratitude you and your friends can take any cloth you want from my store " said the old lady. "wow, thanks" shouted Sasha as she rushed into the store. Sasha came out wearing a black shirt and black jeans with a black jacket. " finally new clothes " said Sasha. Monroe wore a green shirt and blue jeans which sized him perfectly since he was basically a human with fur. Damien wore a white cloth, black jeans, black shoes and a black jacket. " looking good Damien" said Monroe. " thanks but this is exactly what I was wearing before" said Damien. " its all about quality my friend, there is no other place in the universe where you can find better quality clothes than the elfen kingdom" said Monroe. " ion know, feels kinda like clothes from a thrift store if you ask me" Damien complained. " okay let's begin work shall we, Damien you'll be the waiter, Sasha you'll be the cashier and Monroe you'll be the receptionist" said the old man. " uhm, ion know if its a good idea to make Monroe the receptionist, his face is not what I'd call....welcoming " said Sasha. " Too late, I'm already excited about it, there's no changing me now" said the old man " okay, I want you guys to treat the next customer that walks through that door like a king got it" said the old man. just then a group of people entered the shop. " oh, there they are now " said the old man. " is this reeves drink shop" asked one of the men. " why yes indeed " said Monroe. " how may we be of service to you". " we have direct orders from the king to apprehend a boy named Damien out of suspicion of being a reaper".said the man, just. then there was silence throughout the room. " you haven't even worked here for a day and you've already brought the cops " said the old man. TO BE CONTINUED.
