The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume 2 (Chapter 1)
The 3 of them discussed the situation.
None of them knew what had been awakened.
Asglow said “What if a demon pops in?”
“How will we explain you then?”
‘The Shadow’ laughed. “Have no fear of that.”
“Even a demon can’t detect me, for a fact.”
“They don’t call me ‘The Shadow’ for nothing.”
“Trying to detect me can be a rough thing.”
With that said, a demon did pop into view.
“Well, my little knuckleheads. What’s new?”
Both Kronos & Asglow jumped up in fright.
“Could you give warning of your demonic flight!”
“Oh, did I scare the two little humanoids?”
“You two yelled like you have hemorrhoids.”
“Have you made progress on phase III?”
“No, not a bit. It will take centuries, you see.”
“I really didn’t expect more.” the demon said.
“I was just making sure you weren’t in bed.”
Then, poof, he was gone again,
leaving Kronos and Asglow looking grim.
“See, he didn’t detect me at all.” ‘The Shadow’ said.
“He was a sarcastic little fart.” ‘The Shadow’ said.
“He, or they always are” they said in despair.
“Talking to them won’t get us anywhere.”
“Only on a need to know basis is all they say.”
“Are they waiting for a rainy day?’
“I must talk to a physicist friend of mine.”
“Again, I must zap back to what is my time.”
“A physi-what??” Kronos asked?
“I will explain when I get back”
With that, he was gone with a zap.
“Well, what do we do now?” Asglow asked.
“Not much we can do till he gets back.”
They decided they would eat some lunch.
They used magic to whip up a bunch.
They were just getting ready for dessert
when ‘The Shadow’ said “Alert!”
“I am back with a lot of news.”
“But, first I would like to try some of that goo.”
“Goo? This is my famous upside down drool.”
“Sounds yummy. Give me a bowl.”
“Sure. You want it hot or cold?”
“Whatever you think is best” ‘the Shadow’ said
“Half a bowl cold. Too much & you’ll wet the bed.”
After ‘The Shadow’ had finished his snack
he told them what he learned & hacked.
“What is hacked?” they both asked.
“Computer terms. Don’t ask about that.”
He told them what a physicist was.
It didn’t help. They didn’t know what science was.
After filling them in a little, keeping it simple,
to prevent them getting resentful.
He said they call magic flux dark matter.
Not knowing what it is or what it does, for that matter.
Except, they know it is everywhere in the universe.
“I asked him, theoretically, what if it all would blow.?”
“He said,—BOOM!!—big bang theory again, you know.”
“It would destroy all that we know. The end of all.”
He said “I would call it Chainfire, a term seldom used.”
“ The thought of such a thing would be horrible news.”
“Would it be possible to control it in any way?”
“We don’t even know what dark matter is per say.”
“If we did, controlling it would be impossible.”
“Chainfire is a fear of all scientists. It is unstoppable.”
“Then what the hell is phase IV?” Kronos enquired.
“It has to be something that can control the fire.”
“But, your physicist said such a thing cannot be done.”
“There lies the problem. Thy will be done.”
“What do you mean by that statement, son?”
“Simply, let the will of God be done.”
“The will of God? Wait a minute.” Kronos said.
“I just had an idea shoot through my head.”
“What if that is exactly what phase IV is.”
“The Dark Lord wants to turn God’s will to his.”
“What better way to do this than threaten
to destroy earth, the universe, even heaven.”
“WOW!! Talk about an ambitious idea.”
“Do as I say, or else—I’ll see ya.”
As the 3 of them ponder over these new thoughts,
I will leave them for a different spot.
I was thinking, maybe church, it shouldn’t hurt.
As I wait for more news. For what it’s worth.
