Foggy: Guardian Of The End

Chapter 15

"buckle up, don't get flown into the air, by the blood sucking jersey devils. We are going into the second realm, in place of going home" Kyar said, as we walked to the tower, which was by the far left of the ghost's hall.

"Where and what's the second realm?" My fearful self asked, walking behind Kyar, who was walking boldly, without fear, just like I was.

"It's a realm, called the Chupakabra realm of death. All the realms are the realm of death. The Chupakabras don't fight, or get involved in wars, just like the ghost realm does, that why it's a strange place, we don't know how they fight yet. We don't know what they possess that much. They are secretive ones. Only few of their secrets and skills are known by all. Even the Lauthel of ours, didn't kill one soul before he was killed. So you should brace up and don't get killed." She turned around squeezed my right shoulder and grinned. Maybe she's turned the caring one now, I don't care. But the strength in me, like she told the ghost leader, was something that baffled me too, asking her might just make the jerk side of her. I snubbed the idea of asking her about it.

The tower, a tall building, maybe it was decorated with rotten leaves, or they just grow around it. The dried and withered plants were all on the building, just two windows were in the tower, one at the top, only seen from the floor, touching the clouds, and the other was the one at the bottom. No same person would want to go to that kind of place, only if there were enough golds and diamonds to make them rich, the skulls and dried up bodies would probably have a story to tell about it.

The tower was where we were supposed to use the key, the ghost leader gave us, to open a portal to anywhere we're going to.

We go to the tower, unlike the normal keys and locks, the lock to the portal, had a parallel space for the key. As soon as Kyar got there, she paused for a while and closed her eyes for few seconds, almost a minute, before she placed the key on the parallel lock port. She closed her eyes still, like someone meditating, I wouldn't want to disturb her.

The bricks around the key, in circular form, rolled clockwise and stopped, Kyar was still deep in her meditation. She place her hand on the keys, still.

Something rattled the nearby bush, I startled and looked around. "Hummf" I growled lowly. Nothing was there, and it was somehow disturbing. After some seconds, about 20 of it, the rattling doubled, at the same time the bricks rolled clockwise, in a wider form. The whirling sound, from the bricks, like some bunch of industry engines. Kyar hands was still place on the key, which wasn't moving with the bricks,

The third rustling was coming from four different angles, my heart was beating fast, very fast, at the middle of my chest. I was confused on which angle I should fix my focus on.

I shouldn't call a female to save me now, especially when she is busy. I thought.

I balanced well on ground, the rustling, cracking and rattling came nearer and nearer, it was bad time for something like that, I don't even know how to use the powers yet, but I knew they were in me.

A winged wolf jumped out of the mist, from the woods, in a technical tackle, I already slashed its head open, with the claws that grew longer in my claws.

Courage came by, looking at the dripping blood of a winged wolf dripped to the floor, the right side of its head was opened in slices. The top teeth were all broken and shattered on the floor. I don't even need a weapon to slay a beast. As I was looking tremendously, two more came from the mist, and before I could slash heads, I was dragged in the tower by Kyar, who was done opening the door.

"What happened!" I exclaimed, with a wide opened eyes. She lit a torch and threw it from the window, to the woods. The torch illuminated and about 50 winged wolves ran away from it, with high-pitched screeching. "Fuck!" I cursed slowly and faintly.

"That's just a one of hundreds part you just saw. Yes, you can kill thousands of them but they are endless, they revive after 20minutes, making you kill more and more until you get tired and they get a chance to eat you up. You ran away from them, the last time you tried." She tilted her head and gave a questioning look, with a smirk.

A loud wail and whirl started, above us and a rotating milky way started to form. They glowed in blue. The inside of the tower, looked ten times bigger than the outside. The milky way pattern started small and grew bigger in size. It glowed more as it grew bigger, the light ray, came down to us.

Kyar turned to me and folded our palms together. "Don't let go" she warned, sternly. I nodded positively and growled.

Gravity from the portal pulled us, still holding hands, looking upward, we moved upward and floated upward more. We entered into the portal and the speed we used in running from the keepers.

Damn! I think I'll have to empty my bowel after this shit! I thought as we moved at a very night speed, maybe a speed of light or more.

We got to the end at the portal spat us out. We landed in yet another forest, filled with woods, just woods, dried woods. Leaves were not present, just twigs, dried twigs. They creaked and broke as we landed on them. Normal human would have got torn in the skin. Well, only I got on the ground without balance. Rolling on the floor, looking at Kyar, who was standing, she landed in the super hero style.

I stood up and pulled out the twigs which was stuck in my furs, and cloth. It was a endless wood forest. There was no mist.

"It's all illusion. Don't trust anything, a tree might be a creature. A bunyip, jersey devil or many the worst. The Chupakabras. You might even enter into a hut, through the spaces between trees. Just keep in touch. Don't touch anything." She warned again. I dipped my hand into my ouch and brought out some berries, threw them into my mouth.
