Will Owen learn his lesson?
Will apos actions be in vain?
When they got there, out of everything that they could have seen and expected, seeing a Owen with demon Horns, a tail and more orange eyes wasn't one of them
"What happened Owen?!" Rasby says seeing the panicked orange
"I don't know! Some time ago I got out of the maze and this happened overnight!"
"I think I might know what this is..." Guts says
"So you can help Owen out right?" Magic asks
"I don't think I can..."
"Why not?" Soup asks
"Well, it is something that can't be reversed, you know?"
"What is this then?!" Owen says, panicked about the fact that he could never go back
"You where cursed, by a demon probably. I know that there are rituals that allow humans to become some sort of creature, it was used during wars but the ways to do it where all destroyed. I cant think of any other way thought."
Even though Owen was keeping his thoughts to himself, he couldn't help but think that the vision that he had showed the one who turned him into this.
His tail sawng in anger but soon enaught Owen caught it.
Not even dead demons would stop.
"So what if we find another kind of ritual to conter it? Soup probably could make something" Magic suggest
"My thing is potions magic, not rituals, but I can try" Soup says
Rasby, silent till the moment, finally asks something to Owen.
"Did you try to cut them of?"
"Not really... Should we try it?" Owen replys
"I don't know, my horns are pretty strong" Guts says
"But he is a half demon, mabey it will work." Krow says
Within some minutes, Owen was sitting on a chair, Magic with her hand on Owens shoulders to try and calm him down, since his nerves where visible on his tail.
Soup was alredy gone trying to find a way to turn Owen back.
Rasby was by Owens side, also trying to calm him down a bit
Krow was with a blade in hands sharpning it
Guts was analyzing Owens horns
"It is going to be fine Owen, don't worry" Rasby says
"I am calm"
"Your tail says otherwise" Magic states
"Can we cut off that thing next?!" Owen says, grabing his tail and forcing it down
"I think that it should cut through" Guts says
"Alright then, can I start?" Krow asks
"Yeah." Owen says firmly
Krow brings the blade next to Owens horns, pausing a while before saying
"I am not sure if I can do this actually..."
Krow backs of looking at the ground
"Why not?" Magic asks
"Look, cutting a demons horns is more like trying to prepare them to die, I can't do it knowing that it is like preparing a lamb to the slaughter..."
Owens thoughts came to in again, why was a demon so afraid to do that? Demons are rutless creatures with no remorse whatsoever, why is one of their kind so remorsefull to do something so simple?
Even thought Owen would never admit something had started to apear on the back of his mind.
"Give me the blade, I can do it" Owen says
"You sure Owen?" Rasby asks
"Yes, I am not a demon, it isn't anything to me"
Krow gives Owen the blade, as Owen brings the blade to his horns, it slowly starts cutting, and sure it was hurting him, but if that was what was necessery for him to go back, he would do it.
.
.
.
.
.
Even thought it seemed to be cutting at the start, a shatering sound soon filled the room, the blade now fully shatered on the ground.
The small part that was getting cut soon regenerated.
Everyone was filled with one comun thought
"What the actual fuck" Krow says what everyone was thinking
"Wasn't it supoused to cut?! It was cutting! What happened?" Owen asks, looking at guts
"I thought that it was going to cut! Did it just regenerate?" Rasby says, also looking at them
"I don't know! I didn't think that this would happen...I didn't know that the curse did this."
"Seems like you 5 are having fun" A strange voice says
Everyone turns to the door, someone with a mask and dark clothes is there...
.
.
.
.
A watcher
.
.
.
.
Owen is fast to react, he gets up, grabs his bow and puts himself in front of everyone, arrow ready to shoot at any moment
"Don't worry, I am not here to cause trouble, I overheard your conversation, so might aswell give and explanation"
"Talk" Owen says, venom in his voice, tail swinging in a warning
"Your friend guts is right about the curse, but said curse has two forms, the first one, temporary, it lasts for around 1 month or so, simply to give a good scare or a warning, the second one, permanent, the one that you have, in your types of case, the choices is to either live like a demon or die like one, normally this was the one used on soldiers on the wars."
"Who cursed Owen?!" Magic asks
"I cant deliver that information, but I shouldn't even be here so.... Bye!"
In a mist of fog, the watcher disapears
Everyone looks at eachother, shocked.
"Who cursed you Owen? Maybe they can reverse it" Rasby asks
"I don't know..." Owen says, not actually lying, since he was not sure if the dead could curse him.
"So owen will have to stay like this for like...forever?" Magic asks
"Seems like it" Krow says
"Do you have any guess of who cursed you?" Guts asks
"No..." Owen lies, of course he had and idea, Apo...
"Mabey we should tell the rest of the clearing 1 and 2, mabey someone knows something" krow suggest
"It is a good idea, are you okay with that Owen?" Magic asks
"Right now I don't have other choice" Owen replies
And as so, Magic, Krow, Guts, Rasby and Owen called a meeting
Owen was not there yet, feeding puddy and spending a bit of time with the pig.
Owen could finally hear the thoughts on the back of his mind...
"Why are demons bad? Humans started the war"
Thought that tought was pushed again
"There is no way that my dad was worng, that the soldiers where wrong. I will find a way to break this curse and continue the plan, only 3 left"
Soon a knock was heard...
"Owen? Most of the clearing is alredy reunited, we should get going now" Krow states
"Alright...Let's get going then" Owen says
Has Owen opens the door, he and krow start walking towards the campfire of the clearing
Before that get into sight of the others krow simply says
"We didn't fill them in yet, so just stay calm before your tail ends up hitting someone"
"Alright" Owen agrees
"Alright, so why did we get called here?" Mohwee asks
"It was quite suddently" Greacies says
The members that alredy knew abiut Owen looked between eachother, Krow and Owen talking in the distance.
"Something happened with Owen" Rasby says
"Is he alright?!" Greacie asks
"Kinda, just...a little diferent..." Magic says
As magic talks, Owen and krow come closer
"Hi..." Owen says, giving a little wave, they see the familiar face, now with added features that seem to not belong there, and yet where there, the tail stiff as if it isnt allowed to move, horns on his head, and now that the sun was setting, and orange glow came from his eyes.
"Owen?!" Bekymon says
"WHAT THE?!" Mohwee and Oeca scream
"How?!" Spidey asks
"Since when?" Ayngel questions
"That was not alway there!" Kyle states
"Yeah, no shit sherlock!" Oeca says
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN!" Acho screams over everyone
Everyone shuted up, silence now previled
"Now you guys can talk" Acho says
"So... Yes, this is Owen, he got cursed by someone since some time ago" Guts says
"Is there a way to reverse it?" Greacie asks "Not that I mind Owen being a half demon, I just presume that there is something more to this meeting than just showing Owen"
"A watcher came and said there was not a way, but soup is alredy working on it, and there must be a way to reverse it" Owen says
"A watcher!?" Oeca screams
"Yes, a watcher, but that is not the importante part" Krow says
"The important part is that we want to know who did this to Owen" Magic says
"So, if anyone knows who did this to Owen, please say, the person will not get in trouble, I promiss" Magic says
"Doubt that" Mohwee says
"Look, we only want to know how it happens so we know how to break it" Rasby says
After some minutes of silence greacie speaks
"I think none of us did it, but how does this curse appear?"
Guts then explains everything they know about the curse (I am lazy guy, you can read it up there ^ )
"It seems to me that demons where the ones to use it so how do we know that it was not one of you?" Mohwee asks
"We have to trust eachothers words" Rasby says
"This is not going anywhere, I am going home" Owen says
"Owen wait!" Greacie says, but owen is alredy walking
"Why am questening my fathers teaching? I was born to kill every demon, why are they being so...nice...tought?" Owen says
"Your father was worng Owen..." Owen hears a familiar voice say, a voice that he never thougt of ever hearing again
.
.
.
.
.
.
Apo....
Owen looked around trying to find the person whose voice belonged, and there he was...
Sitting on Owen's bed, gently petting puddy, Apo looked at Owen...
"You...You were supoused to be dead! I killed you!"
"I am dead Owen...But you somehow can see me..."
"Why?! Why can I see you?! It is a trick of my head isn't it?" Owen panicks
Soon enaught, Owens tail was swinging left and right, knoking some chests and weapons over
"It isn't a trick Owen, calm down"
"Easy to say when you are not seeing a dead friend!"
Apo stops, realizing Owens words
.
Friend
.
There was still a part of Owen that considered him his friend, even if it was in the middle of a panic, the word friend still came out of his mouth
"Friend?" Apo questions
"What?" Owen says, confused, not as an anwser but as a question related to what apo said
"You called me... Friend..." Apo says
Owen stops, repeating his own words in his head
"I didn't mean to! You are a desiese, and even dead I cant get rid of you!" Owen says, tail now swingig left and right slowly, as if angry, but at the same time, there was something else
Minutes go by, before apo speaks
"Did you really want to get rid of me?"
"What? Of course! You are a desiese in this world! All demons are!" Owen says, looking to the side, tail now stoped, low to the ground
"And you are now one of them Owen" Apo says
Owen stays quiet
"Is that what you think? Or what you where made to think?"
Owen stops, he doesn't awnser for a while
"I can't be wrong, I dedicated all my life to this!"
"But you can still change it, you have a new chance Owen, you don't have to do what your father tells you, don't waste it"
Owen stops in thought
"Why are they being nice?" Owen asks, looking down
"They where always nice, you where just to absorved on your rampage and didn't notice"
"Promiss?" Owen looks up
"Promiss"
"I will try to change my life..."
"Thank you Owen" Apo smiles
"Will I see you forever now?"
"I don't know, but at the very least you will always have company!" Apo says, now in a more cheerfull tone
"I don't think I want someone next to me while I am pooping Apo"
"That is a valid point"
Both of them laught
After the laught ceases, Owen asks
"You where the one who cursed me, right? Was this your plan all along?"
"Kinda"
Owen mumbles something under his breath
"Can you repeat Owen?" Apo asks, getting closer
.

...
....
.....
"It worked Apo"
