Chapter 2 Death On Mount Verican

(Flashback)

The holonite people traveled the planet twenty years ago, slaying demons in every corner of it. Some refugees, known as Bowclaves, who lost their homes in their world and migrated to our realm were more affected by the demons' deaths. From the underworld come creatures with four long ears. Following the Rauku War, they gathered at this location to reorganize. Mount Verican was the mountain they were headed toward, where they planned to set up camp and take some rest. They arrived at the mountain and paused short of climbing it.A woman wearing a sharma's title spoke to a male bowclave, saying, "Check if there is anyone or anything."roup themselves after the war of Rauku. They were on their way to a mountain where they could camp out and rest, and their destination was a mountain named Mount Verican. Getting to the mountain, they stopped before they climbed the mountain.

"Check if there is anyone or anything," a woman on a bear with the title of a sharama said to a male bowclave at her right-hand side.The bowclave pulled out a telescope to check what was on the mountain.

"No, your grace. There is nothing on the mountain," he replied.

"Alright, my people, let's climb this mountain. Let us have our rest," she said as she turned to people at the back.

They climbed the mountain, and to their surprise, a gigantic beast was asleep on the mountain. It stood up instantly and roared as it noticed their presence. They pulled out their weapons, ready to attack it."Stop!" The Sharam ordered.

She walked slowly towards the beast. The beast swung his claws towards her, but she dodged it. She was able to get close to the beast while she sang a heart-pounding song. The beast was losing its breath while the woman moved close to it. She torched it, and it groan softly. She gave him a kiss on the forehead, and it fell. Moments later, it started turning; it moan in pain "Rahhh". It to a point, and it burst into pieces. They were all shocked, and she turned to them.

"My people, praise me for having given you food to fill your belly".

They all hailed, and they sent up their tent immediately. The beast was prepared like meat, and they ate and got full expectancy from a wounded girl.A male bowclave named Salbastine, who had the complexion of a black man, entered a tent.

"Is she alright?" He asked a woman nursing a teenage bowclave named Caroline with a British accent.

"The wound is deep, but she will be better soon," the woman replied.

"Because by tomorrow, Sharama says we will move."They got a trace that the Holonite are unto us. So get better soon," he said.

"Oh, right, I got this for you," he said as he gave her a plate of food.

She groans as she tries to sit up. "I will be okay, Salbastine, but it is not fair for them to do this to us. Why are they haunting us? We're not demons. We're creatures who lost their kingdom in the Underworld and came to this realm to have peace," she said.

"Well, they consider anything strange demon; eat up; we are not the ones to decide," he said.

A kid was playing with his friends, and as she kicked the ball they were using to play at a man's head, the ball hit the man, and his plate of food fell from his hands. He got angry and grabbed the little boy's hands to punish him."Leave me, mom. Mom!" He cried out."Shut up!" He said.

He rose his hands up to slap the kid; an arrow pierced through the man's hand, and he turned into dust. They were all shocked. They looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and behold, it was the Holonite's. They raised the sound of alarm for them to escape. The leader of Holonite, Gralf Simon, threw a stone, and the stone became smoke. The smoke weakened them, so they weren't able to escape.

"Children of Frainstain, draw your sword; redeem the world," Gralf Simon said.

They drew their swords and weapons out, while the bowclaves held their weapons."Please, this does not need to happen," Sharama said.

"Shut thy tongue witch and rot back in hell you came from," Gralf Simon said.

"Kill them all," he ordered.

A war broke out when one of the Holonite stabbed a bowclave and cut off the head of another. The bowclaves didn't stand a chance; the holo artifact that had been curved into a weapon could slay and destroy anything. In the tent where Caroline lied, Salbastine took a look at what was happening outside."We need to move fast; we're under attack," the salbastine said.

"Take the children out of here now," Sharama ordered a bowclave.

He pulled her up, and they tried to escape through the tent back door. A holonite walked into the tent, and to his surprise, he saw nobody. Salbastine held a metal rod, and he smashed the holonite on the head."Ugh. My head!" The Holonite yelled.

He smashed the man over and over again till the man gave up the ghost."Come on, let go," he said in a hurry.

They ran out of the tent, as they wanted to leave the mountain. Five Holonite's surrounded them. Salbastine holds the rod tightly."What do we have here? A disgusting demon is trying to leave," a holonite said."First, we are not demons, and second, smash the rod on the man.One move closer and he swung his sword at Salbastine. Salbastine dodged and blocked the attack with his rod. He hit the rod on the man's head; an arrow landed on his back, and he became weak. They stabbed him and fell to the ground. Caroline smashed the solider head; she cast a spell, and they all flew away. She raised him, and they tried to escape. More hunters started coming, and they got to the edge of the mountain. Salbastine saw they could not win the war, so he pushed Caroline down from the top of the mountain. As they turned back, he found out everyone was dead. Gralf Simon cut off his head, his blood splashing on Caroline's face as she fell, and his body fell to the ground."Is that everyone?" Gralf Simon asked.

"Yes, sir," a holonite answered.

"No. Remain a child," a holonite cut through their conversation.

He brought a young bowclave. Gralf Simon raised his sword to behead the boy, but a holonite blocked the sword attack.

"Remove your sword, hunter."

"No. He is just a kid".

"For now, until he grows up and starts tormenting your life, Let me know you want to redeem the world; you want to free the world from these demons hands; are you with us or not?" Gralf Simon asked.

The man looked at the kid pitifully and shook his head; in a sense, he did not want to die. The holonite man raised his sword and cut off the boy's head."One still remains.""We will go after it later," Gralf Simon said.While Caroline landed in a forest beneath the mountain, she sprung her waist. But the deaths of all her people hurt her more, so she walked slowly to a riverside. She started weeping, and her tears dropped slowly into the water.

"Hmmm, Caroline is a girl who wants to become more. But she does not know what date holds for her," an unknown voice said."Who are you?" She asked confusedly.

Rauku appeared in the reflection of the water."I am Rauku".
