OLD RELIGION

Many years ago, demons walked on Earth. A demon named Rauku enslaved the whole world with his teachings and principles. Everyone on Earth bows to him and his religion, but only a man far away on an island named Frainstain found a holy artifact, "HOLO". The Holo taught him new ways. He decided to free the world, so he went and gathered people. By showing the artifact, the artifact freed so many people, and new ways were introduced to people. The demon wanted to open the gate of hell upon people on earth to control hell; he unleashed the gate of hell on Earth.

Demons, monsters, beasts, and other creatures started crawling out. Frainstain and his people were afraid of seeing demons walking on earth, and there was no place to hide. Rauku, the demon god, gathered ten thousand demons to destroy a holy temple where Frainstain and his fellow brethren lived. They saw demons coming in their direction. They were afraid. The Holo spoke to him, and he did what the Holo said he should do. They gathered the weapons and placed the artifact on the weapons; it passed power into the weapons. Frainstain took a sword, and he raised it and said, "Today we redeem the world". Everyone started grabbing their weapons; they fought with all their might, and Frainstain was able to destroy the demon Rauku. Rauku's body got destroyed, and his soul was trapped. Frainstain was also dead, and he made his disciples promise they would free earth from the hands of demons. By the time the war was over, demons had spread around the whole earth. His disciples made it their job to hunt down demons and free the earth. They call themselves the "HOLONITE". And demons were still haunted to this day.

In San Francisco, down in an alley where darkness lurks, things happen in an alley. Robbery, rape, but this time it was different. A six feet lady named Caroline stood in front of a small mirrior that was packed with golden cases, having a weird sign of an old religion. Her breath blew as she enchanted a spell on the mirror. The mirror broke into eight pieces, and a red demon with blazing three eyes had spikes all over his head. He showed up, but his face wasn't clear; his face only showed in each piece. They call him Rauku."Oh, great, Rauku, I've got good news," she said.

"Do you have the artifact?" the demon said as his voice shook the whole alley.

"Yes, what do I do now?" She asked.

"Go to the world bellow; find Tisrasik, the god of the bellow world."Offer him this artifact, and he will give you the key to Green Land" He said.

"Hey cutie, are you talking to me?" A drunkard interrupted.

She looked at the drunkard with a bad look. She placed her hand on the man's hand, and he fainted."Do what I said, and the bone will be in your hands, but first I need human blood; it has been ages".

She rose the drunkard up and threw him in the mirror direction. The demon sucked the drunkard's blood, and he was lifeless. The man's body thudded on the floor as she dropped his body. The demon disappeared, and the mirror joined back together. She left the alley.As she left the alley, a great earthquake happened in the city.On a bridge,a man named Alex was in his car, hooked up in traffic. He closed his eyes as he heard various voices echoing in his ears, and the only thing he could think of was getting to his destination. Right in those echos, he noticed something was spreading beneath them. As he got down to see what was going on, an earthquake suddenly showed up. The earthquake cracked the bridge, and people started screaming as their cars were falling into the river beneath the bridge. A lady car wanted to fall into the river; he cast a spell, pulling the car backward. He wanted to close the earthquake, but the forces creating it were more powerful than him. He tried, and he saw a sign in the middle of the bridge (the same sign on the golden case). He was able to escape from the bridge, the bridge collapse, and some other places in San Francisco.

On the news:"Another unnatural disaster happened again in San Francisco Bridge and some other places. The earthquake shaken the whole city, and that is the sixth time this week that it has been recorded around the world. First in Kenya, India, Egypt, the United States of America, the UK, Russia, and San Francisco We don't know what's happening, but others are saying that Earth is taking a big turn on us," a reporter reported.Alex got to his destination, In an abandoned building, there were religious organizations that haunted down demons. The name of the organization is "The Holonites.".He entered and closed the gate. He turned to walk inside and saw a black lady named Julie standing in front of him."Welcome, Alex," said the lady.

asked, "How was your day?".

"Ugh, didn't you watch the news? A freaking earthquake happened," he said as they both walked inside.

"You know no one watches the news in this place," she said.

He opened the door, and they saw a lady sitting on a wooden chair watching the news."Except Mia," she added.

stood up as she saw Alex. She ran towards him and hugged him.Inside the building, portraits of people they adore were hanging up on the walls, including a man they worshipped, Frainstain, and his disciples."Alex," she said in relief.

"Finally, someone who cares," he said, pecking her on the head.

"Come on, Alex, we all care about you. We don't just have time to watch the news; you know what we do," Julie said.

"You guys come up here," Brook interrupted.

They went to a table, Brook tapped a button, and a hologram video of the disasters appeared.

"What do we have here, Brook?" Julie asked.

"I've been looking at the disasters that have been happening, and I don't think they are ordinary," Brook said.

"Why do you think so?" Julie asked.

"Because there is no way this type of thing can happen on its own, it has to be powered by some dark forces. The strange thing is that every time this happens, he's always sparkling; I don't know how to prove it yet".

"So what? Maybe there are just some stones shining under the floor," Mia said.

"Seriously," they all said.

"Wait! Today I was on the bridge when the earthquake happened. I tried to use my power to close the earthquake, but my magic didn't work," Alex said.

"It can be from the underworld," Julie said."But we use HOLO magic, every magic bow to it. It can't be from the Underworld or the Beyond World. It can't be from any of them," Alex said."So it's something more than the rhymes; what can it be?".They all have questions. Alex went to take a book from the library. He took the book of religion; the book has all the religions in the world. In the BC's and the AD's

"I saw a sign-a very strange sign. It's like an upside-down X," he said as he was opening the book.

"Dude, an upside-down X is a X," Julie said.

He opened a page, and he said excitedly, "Ah ha. This is the sign".He turned the book in their direction. They looked at the sign, and Mia read it."The book says this sign is a sign of Thian"."A time in the world they once worshipped a dark god named Rauku; his principles and teaching were not good. It changed the mentality of people; people who worshipped him were evil. Yeah, there is not much in this book," Mia said.

"Let go, ask the professor".

They went to a room where a white man with beards on his face sat, and he was reading a book. He was mediating; they badged in."Courtesy children," the professor said.

."Sorry, professor, but there is something we want to show," Mia said.

She placed the book in front of him."What do we have here?" He asked.

"What do you know about the Thai religion?" They asked.

"Well, a god demon brought the religion 300 BC ago. A demon enslaved the world for centuries,our holy father Frainstain was the who didn't hear or agrees with his teachings. Many years later, Frainstain found the Holo. The Holo taught him new ways that was right, so he decided to free the whole world. He made a gathering to gathered people all around for the Holi to speak to them and the Holo did. After hearing the teachings of the Holo, lots of people mind changed from their old ways. I'll give you an assignment to find out the story" the professor explained.

"So the dark god returns," Julie said.

"That is impossible; his body was destroyed, and his soul was sent to a place in the middle of the Underworld and the Below Rehym. He can't be freed; he can only communicate with someone".

"So he is communicating with someone in this rehym, and it is bringing destruction," Brook said.

"Yeah, maybe his presence brought destruction; he is the demon god of destruction. Perhaps his soul can still bring destruction to earth," the professor agreed.

"But he seems to be communicating with someone; who can it be?" They wondered.

"Maybe he has an Avatar; some gods who can't exist in the physical realms use Avatars; the main job of an Avatar is to awaken their god. I am afraid if Rauku awakens, that would be the end of this rehym," the professor answered.

"But there is nothing we can do or should; we don't mingle with godlings affairs. Our job is to bring down demons and monsters from the other realms. I advise you not to try to mingle in this matter; these are only your facts and thoughts. Leave it to the leaders of Holonite; I'll contact them, and we will see what to do," he scolded them.

"Fine," they all agreed and left his presence.

They all sit on a chair, thinking of different things. Alex came in and dropped a bag."I got all our things ready, our weapons; let go find what's wrong," he said.

"What are you doing? The professor ordered us not to go or mingle in godlings affairs," Julie opposed.

"Scoffs, since when do we listen to professors?".

"Our job is to haunt down demons, not to investigate".

"Three hundred deaths have been recorded; this person is causing more deaths than five demons can cause. If we don't try to stop this, there will be more destruction," Alex said.

"I'm with him; we can't just sit here while a dark god is trying to awaken."We need to do something," Mia agreed.

Julie scoffed in mockery. "Well, I can't argue with you, Mia; you'll accept anything he says. Our job is to hold San Francisco. Brook, are you with me?".

"Nah, I am with Alex on this one; we should haunt down this person before he creates more unnatural disasters," Brook said.

"Where would you find this unknown person? Where do you start from?" Julie asked."We start at a place called the shrine," Alex said.

Caroline was on a train leading to the below world.

(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".

[Flashback]

"Rauku. I have heard about you; you are the evil

demon that enslaves the world. You're the god demon that led ten thousand demons centuries ago. It's your fault," she accused him.

"My fault?, I am not the one slaying demons. Is that what they taught you?".

"What do you mean?" She asked confusedly.

"Are those the stories they taught?, I enslaved the world with my teachings. But I didn't; I am the only one who freed the world. When I first came to this rehym, it was dark and empty. Humans lived their lives in a sinful and disgusting way, but I am the only one who brought them to the right side. And here you stand, blaming me".

"The less I care, my own family is gone. Everyone is dead, and I don't know what to do (sobs)".

"Frainstain and his artefact are to blame, but let's not talk about me; let's talk about you".

He said, "When I was defeated, I saw you. I brought you here; can you remember?".

She tried to remember, but it was hard for her.

************

In the AD's, in Rome. In a small village where fishermen live, a portal opened on the floor.

"What is this?" A man said,

The portal had eight mysterious signs; hundreds of Bowclave's came out of it. The people there were scared and afraid.

"Be not afraid. "I'm not here to hurt you," Sharama said.

The fishermen brought out their guns and started shooting. Sharama stopped the bullets in thin air and dropped them on the floor. As she tried to move closer to them, the portal sucked them in. And when she and her people opened their eyes, it was the same village, but the village was destroyed.

**********

"What! You took us away from that place and to another place," she was surprised.

"(Chuckled) Who is something more than that? It was a parallel universe. But I need it, so I pulled you into this one. You're meant to be more, to be my avatar".

"What an avatar, and why will I want to be your avatar? It is your fault all my family and other innocent demons have been huanted down".

"You still don't get it; what about I take you back to the past?" he said as his eyes turned green.

The water started turning, and she was pulled inside the water. She shank and went deep. At her last breath, she opened her eyes and met herself in the past.

Back to the BC:

She saw how people were running for their lives as the sky turned red. People ran into a tall temple, so she followed them into the temple. In the temple, they were all scared and afraid, while Frainstain was in a room speaking to the Holo. A black man walked in and said,

"Priest, Rauku has commanded ten thousand demons, and they are coming towards us. What shall we do?".

"Fear not, for the gate of hell shall not prevail. Find all the weapons you see, gather them together, and all the people".

The man obeyed and left. Caroline was walking among the people like a gohst. People were passing through her; she was invincible. She walked past a mirror, and Rauku appeared before her.

"What is all this?" she asked.

"This is the past, I want to show you who is evil" he answered.

The black man passed beside her; he went to the room where Frainstain stayed, and she followed him.

"Preist, it is ready".

Frainstain followed him to where he gathered all the weapons and people.

"Fear not, people; this demon won't prevail over us".

He looked at the weapons and raised the holo up and prayed;

"Who great Holo, all powers are in your hands. Free us from this hands, save us from our enemies. Sanctifie our weapons as we redeemed the world. Holo".

The Holo shined as he finished praying, the light shined on the weapons. The weapon started glowing.

"Yes. This sword can cut through anything".

A man walked forward and took a sword, he used it to cut a rock that is nearby easily. They heard the footsteps of the demons, they all grabbed weapons.

"Today our blood is spilled to redeem the world, so our children will fall victim of the wrong teachings. We will be known as Holonite's".

They ran out to fight, while Frainstain took the holo artifact, the artifact made him very powerful he was able to fly. The people threw their spear at the demons while the demons rained fire on them. It was a bloody war, Rauku stood in a tower. He watched how demons and human slaughter themselves, Frainstain flew in.

"Does this have to happen. The war do we have to fight?" Rauku asked.

"You don't know what I have been through. And you should have thought that before you summon ten thousand demons" Frainstain pointed his sword to his chest.

"You really think you can kill me. (Scoffs)".

Frainstain swung his sword at his head direction, he disappeared and became plenty. The Holo shined, he turned stabbed Rauku at the heart. He groan in pain, he kicked him away. Rauku head turned into seven, he opened his mouth and hell was unleashed. Frainstain put the sword in front of him to protect his attack from the flames. He raised Frainstain up while six snakes came out from Rauku body, the snakes started squeezing Frainstain. He struggled and tried to get hold of his sword, he got a hold of his sword and use it to cut the snakes in half. He threw a wave from his sword pushing Rauku away, he brought out the Holo artifact. The Holo made Rauku got on his feet, his bones were breaking, he was in pain. The pain that the holo was passing through his body was more than been in hell. They teleported to another place, a desert.

"Where are we?" Rauku asked.

"A place that hell, the underworld, The below world and every other rehym will be unleashed" he answered.

"In this place?"

"You have to look more further" he said as he threw the holo to the ground.

The ground started turning around, before they knew it the sandy ground as become a floor. The floor had signs of chaos, it the gate of Goirdhell (a gate where demons and creatures crawl out, it locked for centuries).

"You going to unleashed demons and monsters!" Rauku was shocked.

"Now both demons and human will suffer what they had done to me" he answered.

Caroline was in their looking at everything that was happening, "he is the one who unleashed hell. He is the reason, but why?". Everything paused and Rauku appeared to her.

"I will tell you a tale of, of the half blood demon".

"Once upon a time there lived a man named Frainstain.... He countiued; he had a wife and his wife was pregnant, his wife was sick so he needed money. He went to the villagers to lend him money but thet didn't, because he had long ears. He was an half cast, a mejorniy. He ran to his fellow people but they help him. His wife died.

********

In the 34 BC, in a village named bethel. At the twelve stroke, Frainstain wife died trying to give birth in a hospital. The nurse came out with a sad face

"Nurse how is my wife?" He asked anxiously.

"Am sorry, your wife is dead. We weren't able to save her, am sorry".

He fell to his feet and started crying; he wasn't able to get a hold of himself. After the death of his wife, he went straight to a place; it was the council of the elders.

"It was your fault; when I needed your help, you didn't help me. She is dead because of you".

"We can't risk you; let the humans know we are among them," an elder said.

"We are sorry. Mourn your loss; we are sorry".

"Don't give your sympathy; the whole Mejorniy will suffer for this," he said as he walked out.

He started searching for things, things he can use to exact his revenge. He found a rock, an artefact called jorlour, a rock that can unleash hell on earth. He set off on a ship to find the rock.

On the ship:

"Hey, we have almost reached the island," the sailor said.

A great storm started; it started shaking the ship. The sailor tried to navigate the ship; a thunder stroked the ship, and the ship started sinking.

"I have an emergency boat that will take us away".

"No!. This is supposed to happen," he answered.

"Chuckle, you crazy bastard," the sailor said as he dropped a boat on the water.

The ship sank. Frainstain opened his eyes and met himself on an island. He stood up and saw six tall statues. He met six spirits roaming all around the whole place.

"Oh great sarvarsin spirits, I have come in search of the rock of Jorlour".

"Why do you seek for it?" They asked in chorus.

"Revenge, I seek revenge. My wife died, and I want to punish them," he said.

"Seek it for good intentions, and sir, it would be in your hands. Your heart is not clean; we can't give it to you".

"If you don't give willingly, I will take it forcefully". He said this as he removed a sword.

"They laughed. How much power is in your hands".

He stabbed them, and the spirit vanished. When they found out about the sword of the viper, he killed all of them. The last one took the rock and destroyed it.

"Noooo!".

The rock was destroyed, and his quest ended right there. He had nowhere to go; he walked all around the island, and he found the Holo artefact.

********

"But his followers killed the demons that he unleashed," Caroline said.

"He's killing two birds with one stone; both demons and humans are suffering. To stand like a hero, he created the holonite's. But this has gone too far; I need my body back to save the twelve rhymes.".

Caroline started thinking, and Rauku took her back to the riverside. He showed how Salbastine was beheaded; he brought back memories of her loved ones and how they were killed in front of her. Her mother, father, lover, and best friend She cried; the memories hurt her a lot.

"We have all lost loved ones; I lost my brother. But we remake the world in our image; don't let the blood of your loved one be for nothing. Let me in, just let me in". He said this as his eye turned green.

Her eyes also turned green, and magic energy started flowing all over her body. The holonite's got to the place; they stopped as they saw. She threw an energy ball and flew to the sky. She rained fire on them, and they all died.

"What do I have to do?"

"Find a scared bone, the Hello bone. A scared bone that creates an indestructible body; without my body, I can't do much in the physical world. Find the bone, and I will tell you what to do".
