The Chronicles Of Kronos (Chapter 13)
Kronos & Asglow were working on phase III.
Without the enthusiasm there used to be.
They had been at it for several months.
They had little to show, except for grunts.
Then, out of nowhere, someone popped in.
This wasn’t a demon,—- he had a grin.
“Hello Kronos. Long time no see.”
“What the hell? Are you shitting me?”
“Yup, it is I, ‘The Shadow.’, back again.”
“Where the hell have you been?”
“Trapped for hundreds of years in a lamp”
“The Lumicates trapped me in the lamp”
“That was when they trapped your spirit too.”
“I thought that was the end of you.”
“Last time I saw you alive, panthers turned you to jelly.”
“Back when the panthers ripped out your belly.”
“DON’T MENTION THAT!!” Kronos screamed.
“I was killed during that bloody scene.”
“Yet, here you are, alive again?”
“Start at the beginning. That’s where to begin.”
Kronos told him all he knew of since his death.
“How did you escape that lamp?”
“Aladdin released me when he found the lamp.”
“I served him for years as a genie.”
“Finally, he granted me my freedom, you see.”
“I came to your ruined castle to search for books.”
“Nothing was there. But, I did look.”
“I probably picked up on Asglow’s trace.”
“I followed it & now you see my face.”
“Since he is your son, it was similar to your trace.”
“Now, what the hell are you two doing in this place?”
They told him about the demons with some fear.
They told him exactly why they were here.
They told him what they are working on & why.
Told him about Vantera burning up in the sky.
They didn’t know what the demons had planned.
But, they were worried about how they would stand.
“I think I may know what it is about” ‘The Shadow’ said.
“Now, don’t let it go to your head.”
“I will have to return to my time to gather proof.”
“I will only be gone a few seconds.” With that, poof.
“The Shadow was gone. In a few seconds, he was back.
He was holding a book that was black front & back.
“This is a Holy Bible. The history of demons & angels.”
“Written after this time, but made plain though.”
He read them the part about war in heaven.
The part about the angels being cast out of heaven.
Sent to earth for attempting to usurp God.
Here they became demons, hating man & God.
Then, he read the part about Armageddon.
The war at the end of time. Good VS evil. All dreading.
“This is what I think they are preparing for.”
“It will be history’s greatest war.”
“Do they plan to destroy all God’s creation?”
“I couldn’t hazard a guess. I am only a laymen.”
Kronos & Asglow knew none of this.
They thought demons came from an abyss.
Truth is, they hadn’t thought about it at all.
It was shocking news about their fall.
“I have never liked demons much.”
“But, they brought me back. A nice touch.”
The news almost brought them to their knees.
It was much bigger than they could conceive.
They were small insects in a much bigger picture.
There went Kronos’s plans for getting richer.
They were at a total loss as to what to do then.
Caught between a rock & a hard place with no whim.
I’ve been told this wraps up volume one.
There is a volume two. There’s more to come.
Lots of questions left unanswered.
Without answers, it will spread like a cancer.
So long now to all of you.
Be sure to watch for volume two.
