《After Life》Chapter 24.5: The Storm
Advertisement
A crack of lightning lights the sky. After the flash, Sariph was back. Back, and many times over the size of an average building. Large black thorns have formed curving upwards from his arms and legs. Protruding from his forehead two large cone-like horns come to a sharp tip. His hands and feet have evolved further giving them razor sharp claws. His whole body appears to be encased in jagged scaled ebony armor.
With another crack from the storm he was gone. Gone, then suddenly behind, already greedily devouring the larger of the Ultrasapiens. The ogres. His speed, matched only by his insatiable appetite. Six tentacles spring out from his waist capturing ogres from any distance. They scream as Sariph tosses them into his mouth, no different than cherry tomatoes.
The sky lights up with different colors as every remaining Ultrasapien collectively releases their powers onto the demon. Sariph howls before replying by swinging his barbed chain. The chain, so large now, that just the sheer motion of it produces winds to knock anything back. It’s all Shado can do to teleport Ultras out of the way of the attacks. Again and again he teleports back in time to save more. He drops them off at the forest's edge where a gathering of Enlightened Ones has accumulated. The forest people call out instructing Ultras to head to the mountain for protection.
The Ultras find making the trek to the mountain difficult. Between the earth shattering quakes, hurricane winds, and the dense forest, any speed is daunting. Especially since compared to the demon, for with its immensity, the distance is a simple stroll. With the fresh pickings teleporting away from Sariph, his attention turns to Cole and Cain, still locked in a strange dance battle.
Cain calls to Cole, “I wish you would have listened to me earlier! Ah but what can I expect? I know you better than you know yourself!”

“I’m not falling for your tricks!” calls Cole.
“No tricks, but you know we don’t have a choice. We’re going to have to combine our powers!” replies Cain.
Without hesitation their dancing form changes. In sync they turn to face Sariph while moving their arms in liquid motion. The yin yang shape of the storms start to combine into one superstorm. The eye of the storm manifests around them as the upper atmosphere turns darker and electrified.
Shado teleports next to Cole, “You power up your storm. I’m going to buy you some time!”

Necromancer's Knight: a Light in Death
It was dark, pitch black. Where am I? Where was I last? I died. Am I still dead? A light so dim, yet so blindingly bright to me appeared in a vertical line. The line grew wider and wider, all until the stone slab above my coffin was completely removed. I removed it, I lifted it, without even willing it. And my body continued to move until it was outside of the crypt. It was night, but there was a full moon. And a little girl in front of me. She clutched a black book to her chest as if it were the last thing she had left in this world. I've heard stories of this, I imagined the possibility, but I never thought it would happen to me. Tears streaked down her cheeks. She choked the words out. "Please, save my papa!"
