Chapter 16 - Devils Playground
"Are you sure its alright Alexander?"
"Yes of course, its no trouble at all, come on in." The old man replys as the 3 walk through the doors of an old stone hut. Alexander was in his sixtlys, roughly five foot, six inches tall with a long beard and large gut.
"So what brings you this way, I never thought you would come back after what happened last time." The old man asks as he peaks out the window covered with a grass shade.
"Well, we have some business to attend to first, then....who knows."
"Business eh'..." He says as he looks over the 2 young ones.
"Their awfully quiet, whats with the company?"
"Its a long story really we..." Secanya is cut off by Jinca as he stands up.
"Kill Mephisto, thats why were here, right Secanya?" He says as Secanya places his hand on his forehead. The old man focused on the boy as he looked him up and down.
"Say...you two are the kids that caused that rukuss in Puska Village aint ya? I guess your not all that bright are ya?" He asks as he pulls out his pipe and lights it up.
"We were ambushed, we even had to leave a friend behind, what have you heard?"
"not much, all I know is that Souta came charging into town today and he was not looking to good. He went straight to Mephisto's castle and the guards have been placed under a full alert. What have you done this time Secanya?"
"I am afraid its more complicated then that... These two here are the only survivors of...."
"I know." The old man cuts him off putting a shock to everyones face. "One of them is cursed, he brings destruction where ever he goes."
Jinca's face faulted as he listen to the old man. "Destruction, are you mad, I never.."
"Shut your mouth boy, its because of you that your village was burnt to a cinder, it was burned....wasn't it?" He asks as if it was ritorical, eying the boy.
"What is he saying? How does he know my village was burnt?" Jinca questions himself as he stood before him stunned leaving Luna confused.
"Jinca could never do that, he wouldn't." Luna screams as the old man ignores them.
"Lets not do this Alexander, besides, we need your help." Secanya says hoping to put an end to the arguement.
"My help, what can an old man like me help you with old friend?"
"We need access into Mephisto's castle, I know there is an under ground entrance and I was hoping you knew where to find it."
"Hmmm, well....I don't think you will be needing the underground entrance."
"What do you mean, is there a better way in?"
"Yes, much easier in fact, let me go get my papers and I will show you." He says as he walks into the other room.
"Wow, I think things are really starting to go our way." Secanya says to the others as they smile back.
--------
"Its been ten minutes, what is that old man doing?" Secanya says aloud as he walks into the other room to find him gone. "Oh no, we got trouble, we gotta go now!"
"Whats happening Secanya?" the other two ask as Secanya takes a couple glances out the window to see Alexander talking with a few guards as he points in the direction of his house. The guards instantly pull their swords from the sheaths and jog over to the house.
"Two guards coming this way, we need to slip out the back right now!" Secanya says as they run through the house to the others side where they find a back door. Secanya quickly jumps to the roof above as Luna grabs ahold of Jinca, he braces himself for the jump when suddenly he is caught off guard by a club to the body sending the two slaming onto the ground knocking Luna unconsious. Shaking his head, Jinca climbs to his feet and takes a look around to see he is surrounded by soldiers. Jinca slowely lowers his sword as he is still trying to shake the dizziness from his landing. The troops eas up as they move to the side to make a path. Souta marches his way to the front while removing his flail from his belt.
As Jinca's dizziness fades, he see's a figure's shadow approach as he looks up into the sunlight. Souta stares down at the boy as a mischievious grin crosses his lips.
"So, it looks like I caught up to you afterall." Souta says laughing a bit to himself. "Its just too bad the priest left you hear to die."
"Secanya....... He'll be back." Jinca responds as Souta sends his flail crashing down on Jinca's shoulder that broke his shoulder to pieces. Jinca screamed, perhaps louder then he ever had before. Souta only smiled as he looked down on his prey.
"Take them to cells, 2 down, one more to go." Souta says as he follows his troops. "Finally, I will finish what I started, then Mephisto will truely acknoledge me."
[Jinca's perspective]
It seemed like hours before we reached the dungeon. This pain, there is nothing like it. I couldn't even move my shoulder as it continued to bleed across the ground. He threw us in a small cell whit a couple other prisoners, dead prisoners. If this pain doesn't kill me, that smell will.
gags
That man....I have seen him before, I think to myself as I look upon the face of the leader. "Yooouu....." I mumble as my eyes could barely stay open. He walks towards me and leans down where he is face to face with my own.
"Thats right, its me, now I have some questions and I demand answers." He was quite intimidating, maybe thats just because I felt how strong he truely is. He wasn't a large man but his strength was unhuman.
"Where is the priest that was traveling with you?" He asked me. F you is what I was thinking but thats a good question. Where was he? Why didn't he help us? It was then the voice echoes through my mind stronger then ever has.
"I told you that he would betray you... You can't trust them Jinca, all there is are you....and me. We don't need them Jinca, with my power, you can rule the world.
"I'm Talking to you d*mnit!" Souta yells as he clences my battered shoulder forcing me to scream in pain.
Let go Jinca, and I will lay waste to these fools." The voice cries out but I ignore it... I can't focus on anything but the pain my shoulder. Suddenly I glace over to see Luna lying on the cement while a couple other guards begin to approach her.
"While we're down here, we might as well have some fun, heh?" A soldier said as the a couple other s laughed.
"Luna." I mumbled as Souta grabs my shoulder once again thrusting the pain through my whole body once more. Its taking every ounce of me to keep from passing out.
"Grab her arms while I get her rags off." A soldier said as I glance over, I see a man is tugging on her clothes while a few others are surrounding her cheering to one another.
What...what happened....I thought to myself as I feel a surge inside me, like that of adrenaline but so much more intense.
"Give in Jinca, give yourself to me and I shall save the one you love." the voice cries out as I see a soldier tear off a piece of Luna's clothing and tosses it to the ground next to me. "Luna...forgive me..." I have no choice, they will just kill me and keep Luna as a slave, not to mention forcing themselves on her....
"Fine......you win, take it.....take it all!" I say to outloud to the beast within.
"What was that boy?" Souta says confused by my comment.
"Wise choice, now you will witness true power." The voice cried out as I began to feel as if I was falling asleep, I could no longer hear the voices within the cell or feel the throbing pain from my shoulder. My vision was becoming faint as I could scarcely see the man in front of me.
"Save....Luna." I said as I was swallowed into darkness. "What have I done?"
