The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Chapter 2)
Kronos & Asglow continued to work on phase III.
‘The Shadow’ worked on helping them get free.
One day ‘The Shadow’ asked them, searching.
“Did you say the demons had others researching?”
“Once, they said others were doing the same.”
“Working on other projects. That was plain”
“Others brought back to life or still alive.”
“Made to serve them, or face a horrible demise.”
“Did they mention who or where they were?”
“No, just that they were all over the earth.”
“I think I have a way to find some of them.”
“If I can, it will help us to make friends.”
“You won’t be able to meet them yet.”
“But, if my idea is right, you will, you bet.”
With that, ‘The Shadow’ was gone in a blink.
Kronos and Asglow didn’t know what to think.
They continued on with their research each day.
‘The Shadow’ was gone. Where? Who could say?
When, he had left, seemed like months ago,
‘The Shadow’ returned with someone in tow.
“Greetings friends. Meet Merlin, my new friend.”
“It seems he has been forced to work to the same end.”
“He is a Warlock of great renown.”
“He is from England, where he influenced the crown.”
“The demons have had him under their control
for a couple hundred years, or so.”
“That is about how long we have been in the same fix.”
Kronos said as he shook his fist.
“How did they get control of you?” Asglow asked.
“Threatened me with a severe demise”, he spat.
“I won’t go into the details. They are gruesome.”
“I hate doing their work. It is a major nuisance.”
“We know what you mean. Same for us, it seems.”
“How were you able to come here unseen?”
“’The Shadow’ helped with that. It seems,
he knows how to travel in the in-between.”
They didn’t bother asking what that meant.
“Won’t the demons miss you when you went.?”
“They may, if I don’t return fairly soon.”
“They won’t bother me on the day of the moon.”
“’The Shadow told me what you are working on.”
“It is something else I have been working on.”
“Mind control. It is my specialty, to a certain extent.”
“What they want from me is more than its meant.”
“Way beyond what I had ever imagined.”
“Complete control of the entire world, in a fashion.”
“What!! Is such a thing even possible??”
“I didn’t think so, but they have phases.”
“Each step brings me closer. I’ve completed two phases.”
“Let me guess. All on a need to know basis.”
“Yes, how was you ever able to guess?”
“It’s the same for us. They have a master plan.”
“We intend to discover it, if we are smart.”
“Then, we may upset their apple cart.”
“Count me in.” said Merlin, with a grin.
“I would like to punch a demon on the chin.”
“Well,—- I am on my way for now.”
“We don’t want those demons finding out somehow.”
With that, both Merlin & ‘The Shadow’ zapped away.
Soon, ‘The Shadow’ was back to stay.
“What have you got to say about that?”
Kronos said “I liked him. I give him my hat.”
“I meant what the demons have him doing.”
“Totally different than us. Something big is brewing.”
“That seems to be exactly right.” ‘The Shadow said.
“There are others. I’m not sure how many.” He said.
“All are working on different things, for sure.”
“All controlled by severe threats to occur.”
“That is, if they don’t do as told when told”
“Those demons are damn brazen, if I may be so bold.”
“So, where do we go from here?”
“Let me think on it to get things clear.”
What ‘The Shadow’ comes up with is not known.
When I know, I will continue to make it shown.
Until then, pray for the best.
I hope I will want to tell the rest.
