Collision

*~Chapter 4: truth~*

"Uh...I wouldn't do that if I were you."

 "Huh? Why not? Just what are they?"

"Those creatures are called Sliek Demons. I guess you can say this is one type of hell you don’t want to get into. They’ve been locked up in there for generations. If any of them were to be loose, the fate of the human world....um, how should I put this?"

"The human world will be destroyed and I won't be able to restore it."

Princess Mona, the servant, and Koru turned around to find the ruler of the realm, Lord Hemnos. He was pretty tall as a ruler should. His voice makes people pay attention right away. His right eye was bandaged up. He had the same features as Mona; pale skin, elf ears, and a glowing golden cat eye on the left. Hemnos’s royal clothing was something that one has never seen before. His long pale blonde hair down to his waist and figure could easily mistake him for a lady if he were to face his back. He walked past Koru towards the portal. Hemnos made a hand gesture, motioning the servant to give him something. A blue and gel-like cube was glowing in his hand.

“Thank you, Raine. You may continue your duties.” She bowed and left them alone. He then tossed the cube into the portal.  

 "Hey, what did you just throw?"

"A Barrier Cube."

"Barrier Cube? What's that? You people talk as if I know these things already…" Koru scratched his head in confusion.

He gave a little chuckle. “I agree.” Hemnos raised a hologram of a deep blue gel-like cube on his hand. It had a strange mark in the middle shaped as a sun. “This is a Barrier Cube, human boy. It is supposed to keep them from breaking through the portal. It contains Carbon Monoxide, which is lethal to you humans. But those demons breathe that air.”

“So I’m guessing you’re kind of their keeper?”

“How dare you say that? Dear brother will never tend to these lowlifes-! Hemnos raised his hand for silence.

“I would see how that you would think that. However, there’s a different purpose. There’s a material we can get only in there. I’ll explain it another time. Now, onto more important matters… I wish I knew why a human is here, but it seems your crest has led you here perhaps? I am pretty sure I didn't summon you" Koru’s eyes widened in realization.  *No way. He didn’t summon me…? Now I’m completely lost*

"I’ll play along with your game, but what does any of this have to do with me? Why is my crest glowing all of a sudden? I thought you would know everything," Koru sulked.

Hemnos grabbed his hand. “Come with me Koru, and all of your questions will be answered."

*…How did he know my name?*

*I’m similar to what you refer to as ‘God’. I’m awesome. Now let’s go, boy.*

Still freaked out, Koru looked at his surroundings for the last time. “So, how will we get out of here? I don’t see any doors around..." Mona gave a small snicker.  "You'll see."

Suddenly, a black smoke appeared before them. It smelled of gasoline and gun powder. Koru felt dizzy from the strong scent and fainted a moment later. Before he left, he turned to Mona.

"Mona, my dear sister and Guardian, make sure the Slieks make no uproar from the cube that was sent there. You are the only one that can go inside without getting harmed, understood?"

"Yes, I understand that, my lord."

"Oh, and before I forget, be sure to remind Razuka, our servant, to prepare for the new Guardian Gathering."
