The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume Two (Chapter 8)
As they all gathered around,
‘The Shadow’ had them all sit down.
“I talked with Merlyn just recently.”
“He told me this with certainty.”
“They have located a dozen or more.”
“Other Warlocks preparing for war.”
“All are in the same boat as we are.”
“Working for demons to avoid a scar.”
“All are badgered & belittled with threats.”
“The demons making sure they pass the test.”
“All are working on different topics.”
“From wiping out all food to destroying the tropics.”
“All want to bring an end to the demons.”
“Most think of them as no more than cretins.”
“All will work to secretly reverse what they do.”
“It will come back on the demons, not me & you.”
“But, it seems we are the main distraction.”
“ If we succeed, it will be quite an attraction.”
“The others will then immediately activate their curses.”
“All going back to the demons, who deserve it.”
Kronos said “Toil & boil, double trouble.”
“It looks like we are going to burst the demon’s bubble.”
Kronos laughed. They all laughed too.
Then, a demon popped in. “Something funny monkey poos?”
“No, just conversing among ourselves.”
“Well, get those books down from the shelves.”
“It seems you still have a lot of work to do.”
“We may be stepping up the time table on you.”
“Hey, what the hell do you mean by that?”
“Nothing yet. I should have kept it under my hat.”
“Just some rumors that have started to flow.”
“But, you are all on a need to know.”
“So, back to work, humanoid trash.”
With that, he was gone in a flash.
“That is not good” ‘The Shadow’ said.
“I hope it doesn’t start messing with our heads.”
“We have to have the matrix come out just right.”
“The whole universe could vanish out of sight.”
“We know all that is at stake here.” Asglow said.
“It’s not just a nightmare seen while in our bed.”
“This has to be done just right, or not at all.”
“The demons will be checking it before the fall.”
“Then, somehow, we have to sabotage it.”
“Bringing it all down on the demons, without a slip.”
“Well, we have a long way to go to achieve that.”
“Many years. To shorten the time would be crap.”
Several months went by without a change.
The demon remained an ass. A real pain.
But, he said nothing further about rushing it.
They were thinking, it might have been a trick.
Then, one day, the demon appeared.
“Many others are working on many tiers.”
“One of them messed up, plotting against us.”
“Now, he is nothing but a pile of dust.”
“Keep that in mind as you keep on working.”
“The panthers are ready & it will keep on hurting.”
With that the demon was gone again.
That left them all wondering who it could have been?
‘The Shadow’ said he would try to find out.
“I will be back when I find what it is about.”
He was gone in an instant, like he was never there.
They were never sure if he was anywhere.
‘The Shadow’ had abilities that mystified.
They were just glad he was on their side.
Asglow & Farrah were in the deepest library.
Where Asglow had his books for inquiry
Into white magic that he knew how to control.
Farrah wanted to try to put on a show.
She had never handled white magic before.
Asglow warned her before they went in the door.
She tried a spell & the castle shook.
“What the hell?” Kronos yelled. “Let’s take a look.”
They found Farrah rubbing her ass.
The spell backfired as she tried to melt glass.
“She burned her butt” Asglow said.
“White magic can be dangerous” he said.
“I have to teach her better control.”
Kronos said “First, take it a little slow.”
They laughed and helped Farrah up.
Asglow cast a spell & healed her butt.”
Then, Kronos said “I have an idea.”
“I think this one will please ya.”
He said to the two women, who were looking fine.
“Asglow & I do not age do to a spell of mine.”
“I will put this spell on you, if you don’t mind.”
The women were very happy about that.
Kronos did his thing & they tipped their hat.
Both felt younger with more energy.
Zela would reward him. That was plain to see.
A few days later, ‘The Shadow’ was back.
He said one of the Warlocks in Arabia did that.
He was caught plotting against the demons.
Now, he is sand, or so it would seem to us.
This made all of them somewhat nervous too.
They didn’t want that happening to them too.
They proceeded with great caution after that.
Making sure they had all down pat.
Further news of them, I do not know now.
All I know is I smell something foul.
When I can get a breath of fresh air.
I will have more news. So, till then, take care.
