The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Chapter 3)
‘The Shadow’ had been at Castle Kronos for awhile now.
He was trying to figure out this whole demon thing somehow.
One day Kronos said “Tell us more about what the Bible said.”
‘The Shadow’ looked at him & bowed his head.
“There is much it says. But, it can be interpreted many ways.”
“Apparently, a war, named Armageddon, will happen someday.”
“It will be the final war. Good against evil to the death.”
“The demons will be fighting heavenly angels, I expect.”
“Man will also take sides. The outcome is already set.”
“Evil loses and good wins. Then comes the lake of fire.”
“All will be burned till nothing is left. No more liars.”
“Lake of fire? What exactly does that mean?”
“It is unclear if it is literal or symbolic, it seems.”
“Whatever it is, the demons fear it. Their nightmare dreams.”
“No wonder they have all of us working so hard.”
“They must win, or become sizzling lard.”
“That would be a major motivation for them.”
“They have to come up with a plan to win.”
“I am not religious, but, I hope they lose big.”
“They consider us no better than a pig.”
“There has to be a way to disrupt their plans.”
“If possible, we will do it, if we can.”
The conversation drifted off to other subjects.
Then, ‘The Shadow’ asked Kronos a subject.
“What was your father like when he was alive.”
“In the golden years of magic, he did thrive.”
“He was probably the greatest warlock alive.”
“He had a huge following that called him king.”
“Why? Because he could do almost anything.”
“He met his demise in a foolish way.”
“Anathea, The Great Deceiver, had the final say.”
“My father had her captured, but she escaped.”
“He had been working on a spell to overtake.”
“But, going against her spear/wand was a mistake.”
“He had made an error in his spell.”
“The spear overtook him & sent him to hell.”
“Later, I found the error he had made.”
“He couldn’t fight white magic with only a blade.”
“I reworked the spell to make it reverse the spear.”
“She would destroy herself if she used the spear.”
“But, Anathea was gone. It was too late.”
“I wanted to use it against Anika, a justified fate.”
‘But, she never used the wand/spear?”
“If she had, she wouldn’t be here.”
“Or there, so to speak.”
“Her power would be reversed on her for her defeat.”
“My father trained me from the crib.”
“To take his place, which I obviously did.”
“Over 800 years, I ruled with an iron hand.”
“Until Anika, the new Deceiver, tipped my hand.”
”The rest is known history”
“I reread the history after your death.” ‘The Shadow’ said.
“A plan has been coming into my head”
“I think the demons gave you that book to set you up.”
“They wanted you to bring Asglow back, with luck.”
“They could have done it, but if you did, you’d care.”
“Then you two would work better as a pair.”
“Why would they want that? Because of positive magic.”
“Only Asglow knew how to handle both kinds of magic.”
“The demons cannot use positive or white magic.”
“If they tried to, the results would be tragic.”
“Only God knows the beginning from the end.”
“I am sure he has told the demons their tragic end.”
“They want to change that ending if they possibly can.”
“That is why such an elaborate plan.”
“You are only pawns in their master scheme.”
“Even if it leads to the end of everything.”
“Maybe the lake of fire is the demons own doing.”
“The Bible does say that after, a new heaven & earth are made.”
“Maybe because of the mess the demons have made.”
“Something is slowly coming to mind right now.”
“Just how we can make sure that’s how it happens somehow.”
“I can’t talk more about it just yet.”
“I have a lot more planning & research to get.”
“When I am ready I will fill you in.”
Until that happens I must leave till then.
But, when ready, I will be back.
To tell more chronicles. That is a fact.
