Young Damion-"Let go, let go of me!"
Town guard captain-"Get that thing under control and be careful. It has dark magic. One wrong move and you'll loose your soul"
Town guardsman 1-"Yes sir"
Town guardsman 2-"To think a curseborn would appear in our town"
Town guard captain-"Search the rest of the house, find that creature's parents"
While the first two guards take Damion out of the house and towards the town jail. The rest of the guards march into the house and begin knocking down the doors. Eventually one of the guards opens the door to the basement.
Town guardsman 3-"I found the cellar!"
A couple other guards join him as he stomps down the stairs. Once they enter the basement they see Damion's parents standing in the middle of the room. The guardsman draw their swords and approach them.
Town guardsman 3-"Halt, state your names immediately"
Damion's parents don't respond.
Town guardsman 4-"Sir, there's a dead body on the ground. It appears to be a child"
Town guardsman 3-"You two are under arrest, get down on the ground and put your hands up!"
Damion's parents still don't respond.
Town guardsman 3-"Go get the captain"
Town guardsman 4-"Yes sir"
The guardsman goes upstairs to get the other guards.
Town guardsman 3-"Do you understand the trouble you're in!?"
The guardsman walks up to Damion's father. He pokes him with his sword and he doesn't flinch.
Town guardsman 5-"He doesn't appear to be moving"
Town guardsman 3-"Any idea who the child and these people are?"
Town guard captain-"I believe it's the curseborn's parents and brother. They match the descriptions in the report"
Damion's brother Desmond looks similar to Damion while Damion's parents still appear as dark silhouettes to the reader.
Town guard captain-"The fact that their child is a curseborn means they are users of dark magic, meaning both of them are murderers"
Town guardsman 4-"Why would they kill one of their sons?"
Town guardsman 3-"Isn't it obvious, they're insane monsters so of course they would"
Town guard captain-"Why aren't they moving?"
Town guardsman 3-"I don't know captain, they seem to be frozen"
Town guard captain-"Bind them with ropes and take them to the jail"
Town guardsman 4-"Captain, is that a good idea? I don't know if a Jail will hold two dark magic users"
Town guard captain-"The prisoners will be transferred to more secure facilities. One of them will probably end up at the Illumis kingdom since it's the closest major kingdom to us.
The guards take large ropes and wrap them around the arms of Damion's parents. When the guards pull them, Damion's father falls and lands on the ground. He maintains his shape like a mannequin.
Town guardsman 1-"What do you think Happened to them?"
Town guardsman 2-"I don't know, but it made it easier to catch them"
The guards pick up the parents with guards 1&2 picking up the dad and guards 3&4 picking up the mom.
Town guardsman 5-"What do we do about the kid"
Town guard captain-"Stabbed through the heart huh?"
The captain opens up Desmond's eye and sees his red irises.
Town guard captain-"Red eyes and black hair, seems he was a curseborn too. He's already dead so we should just burn the body"
Town guardsman 5-"Alright captain"
The guard goes to pick up Desmond, however he struggles to get him off the ground.
Town guard captain-"What's the matter"
Town guardsman 5-"He seems to have... vines growing out of his body. They are seeping into the ground and I can't pull him free. I'll have to cut the vines to pick him up"
Town guard captain-"Never mind that. We'll just burn him here. Fire skill: flaming hand"
The guard captain sets his hand on fire and uses it to burn away at Desmond.
Town guardsman 5-"But captain! This house is wooden!"
Town guard captain-"This house reeks of dark magic. It's best to just burn it to the ground"
The guards exit the house as the fire spreads and it crumbles to the ground. Underground in the ash and dirt roots begin growing outwards. Deep underground, a burnt hand closes into a fist. The scene changes and the giant monster's fist swings at Adam, Elise, Damion, and Joe. The four of them scatter to dodge out of the way.
Adam-"Who's Desmond?"
Joe-"Not the time!"
Joe(in his head)-"I'm way too close to this thing, I have to get a distance away to attack from afar"
Elise-"Evolved skill: solar flash fist"
Elise engulfs her fist in plasma and jumps up to punch the monster's head. It leaves a burn mark that instantly heals. The monster swings its arm and Elise counters with her legs and jumps off of the arm.
Elise-"Being giant is overrated. Your attacks are easy to dodge and counter"
Adam-"Don't get cocky this thing is way stronger than us, we need Julius immediately"
Marigold-"It's great to see you guys"
Adam-"Marigold! Where is Julius?"
Marigold-"He's stuck in that bubble!"
Marigold points to the ball of high density space that Julius is stuck inside of.
Julius-"Phase skill didn't work either. Maybe if I use both magnetism and gravity together"
Joe-"Julius! Archery skill: magic arrow"
Joe shoots an arrow to Julius bubble. The arrow shatters on impact.
Julius-"It can't be broken by an attack!"
Voice-"They can't hear you, the high density space prevents sound waves from escaping"
Julius(in his head)-"Damion can set me free from here. I need him here so I can give the power boosts to all of them, otherwise we can't win this"
Joe-"I can't break it"
Adam-"We need him out for stamina recovery! I'm running too low on mana!"
Adam dashes forward and slashes the monster's leg. His sword is unable to cut all of the way through and just leaves a small cut which quickly heals.
Elise-"Damion! Are you helping or not!?"
Damion stands there watching them fight the monster. There is a reflection in his eyes, he sees that inside the monster there is a soul connected to a small knife.
Damion-"It's been a long time how have you been. Have you-"
The monster punches Damion sending him flying into the wall.
Elise-"Damion!"
