In the light elf king’s palace, the shaking was of more concern as the entire building was threatening to break. He’d felt the imbalance that had occurred, a frown crossed his forehead.
What has that idiot human done now, the king wondered? With the power that he now possessed, the human could shatter the world.
The king reached out feeling the imbalance, then felt the thousands that had been snuffed out. By the ancestors, this human was far more dangerous than he first thought he was.
He was going to have to get the production of the second poison going faster. With all the allies that the human had, they needed to kill almost all of the other races.
A smile came to his lips as the shaking finally stopped. With a wave of his hand, the king appeared a great distance from the palace.
The great lab he was in had the stink of hideous smelling death. “I hope that you are nearly done, as the human is far more dangerous than I at first thought.”
The bent, haggard elf looked at the elf king with a hideous look and nodded. “It won’t be as effective as you want, but it will kill at least ninety percent.”
What of that damn human? We need him to die as soon as possible, especially after the threat of today,” the elf king snarled.
“As I said before, I need a sample of his blood to make a poison that could kill him. You need,” the old elf started, then was propelled across the room.
The elf king’s eyes glowed dangerously red as he spoke, “You should watch what you say to your king. Remember I can put you back into that hole I pulled you from. Without me, you are nothing!”
The beragged old elf huddled on the floor, afraid to move lest he was killed. His head was bent all the way to the floor, but he glared in defiance and hatred.
So far, he hadn’t found a poison quick enough to kill the king before the king killed him. As of yet, nothing had worked, though after two hundred years he was extremely close.
The poison master quickly schooled his features as he barely looked up. His supposed submission had calmed the king half, though not completely.
He was still confused as to how the human male had usurped the poison. Not only by himself, but also cured nearly three fourths of those affected on this continent.
He had to have a sample of him to kill the human before the king killed him. “Get off the floor and get to work, though you look far better there where I can keep you as the dog you are.”
The older elf arose shakily onto his legs. “I will redouble my efforts to finish with as deadly new pathogen as I can sire.”
The elf king sneered at the older elf, “Best you remember your place slave, Olaf!” Here the king snapped his fingers as several guards appeared. “He and the others don’t sleep nor rest ‘til they are done. Then I will decide if I will kill them or not.”
Olaf looked at what was left of his staff; over half were dead. It had seriously deterred the work. Olaf knew that he should have hidden himself after the first time. He sighed as the King vanished, and the guards took up positions by the door and window. At least his family was safe.
The king appeared back in the palace, an evil smile lighting up his face. Ah, he thought, that had felt so damn good!
He knew that Olaf would come through as he always did. It was too bad that he hadn’t found Olaf’s family, though they continued to look.
He had to eliminate that damn human as his power was starting to rival his own and he would not be beat. Yes, he thought, all humans needed to die after taking his mother and sister.
Back on earth, the coven that the twins belonged to were starting to mobilize. The message that the twins had left them had seriously scared all of them.
The elders had gone through all their spells trying to find a portal spell to the world the twins had been in. If what the twins had said was true, Dan needed all the help he could get.
Both elders had felt their power seriously jump from the brief contact with Dan. As a matter of fact, the entire coven had grown almost a half level after Dan had incapacitated them.
The male that Dan had held and frozen was almost a whole level higher. The one female witch was also as high so truly, they owed Dan a great deal, especially when he didn’t destroy them.
The elders had been through all their spell books but hadn’t found a portal spell to that world. Most of them were shocked, a few minutes later, after their search, a portal opened.
All their mouths dropped open when two light elfs appeared before them. Both of the females were very powerful, though nowhere as strong as Dan.
The elders were the first to drop to their knees as they bowed to the older female. “Great Queen of the light elves, how may we help you?” The elder male said.
“I have felt that this coven, the Crescent moon, has been searching for a spell to the home world? I am afraid that all of you, together, haven’t the power to open it. It took all I, my daughter and my human husband had to open it. Dan opened it like a human door, he is that powerful, please remember that,” the light elf Queen said.
“We feel that we have to help him,” the elder female said. “There are several that have had their power heightened by Dan, still we don’t have enough?”
The Queen and the other with her raised their hands, passing them over the coven. “Interesting mother, several have gained almost a whole level.”
“Hmmm yes, they might, but it will take a great deal of concentration. Also, it will take him to get you all back if you survive, that is a very harsh world to humans. Though actually you are witches, you might survive,” the Queen said.
The two Elders awaited the judgment of the Queen and the other. They could only hope that they passed the inspection of the two light elves.
The Queen finally nodded as she punched the male and female that Dan had raised almost a whole level. At first, nothing happened, then they started to glow as their bodies glowed for a few moments.
Then the two convulsed as they passed out, then she turned to the elders. She laid a hand on both of them as they glowed very bright, then they almost fell to the ground.
They were both amazed when they both started to levitate off the floor. “You are the first besides Dan that now have that power, you’ll need it.”
The younger light elf stepped up, “we can also affect levels, but nowhere as strongly or as much Dan. We will help you to open it, but we can not go through it.”
“We will have to hold it open so when you go, go quickly, as we don’t have that much power,” the Queen said. She wasn’t about to tell them that Dan had also raised her and her daughter’s levels when he had been there.
“Please prepare, we need to rest and build back up. In two days, we will return and will help you send yourself through,” the young light elf said.
With that, the both of them vanished as if they were smoke. This immediately had the elders up and rushing all there to gather a large pile of artifacts and magic aids.
Dan was floating in a light white area, god he was so tired. After what had happened, he wasn’t all that sure that he really wanted to return.
Damnit but his head hurt like a bitch! It had hurt so badly to send all of them to nothing like he had. The screams, god the screams of pain and absolute terror, knowing that they were dead no matter what.
It had been so much worse than the first time he had used it. At least this time he hadn’t looked into the darkness, but he’d still felt it and that was almost as bad.
He felt and heard voices so far away that were calling to him. Warm and friendly, but he also felt betrayal, also making him hold back.
Why in the hell didn’t they let him die? Especially after what he’d done, the death of so many beings sickened him to no end.
It seemed a few years, a few hours, months, decades, he wasn’t sure. What was that, he felt that was trying to wash over him?
Why couldn’t they let me die? That way I wouldn’t kill thousands again, it didn’t matter that they wanted to kill me and the females with me.
I am hurting god damnit! Leave me alone! I don’t deserve to live, leave me, leave me!
Tygon fell back almost as if she had been thrown away. She was panting, she had barely managed to anchor his mind, but that only helped a little.
She fell back on her back as tears started to fall freely from her eyes. “No, no, no, no!” She almost screamed as she started to hug herself. “No, please, let me die. I have killed so many leave me alone!”
“Shit, she’s gone far deeper than I thought she had gone. She’s still connected even though she’s out. If he descends further, he’ll take her with him, well loose the both of them,” Cre’sa said in a near panic.
“Can you go in and guide her out?” Marlena asked.
“We have to save them, they are both important to this,” Gre’ta said, worry in her voice.
Helena walked to Cre’sa speaking to her. Cre’sa looked at her as if she was crazy but nodded her agreement.
A moment later, they both approached Dan and Tygon. Gre’ta saw this and started to move, then froze as did everything around them.
“You only have a few minutes, I am not as strong as I wished I was in a hurry,” Helena said as Cre’sa fell into a trance, then her spirit moved into Dan.
She’d had some training, but it hadn’t prepared her for the full chaos that was his mind. Luckily, almost everything was time frozen, it was still hard to find him as she moved as fast as she could.
She finally found a small bot that looked a lot like Dan. “Dan?” she asked as he looked up.
“You aren’t here to hurt, me too, are you? Everyone has been afraid and hid,” the boy said.
“No, I am a friend. I would never hurt you,” she said as the boy backed away.
