Chapter 8

P atrick floated in an upright position. Two chains of black metal tied him to the ground in a metal plate.

Yerra's heart accelerated like a spaceship in hyperspace. “Patrick! But how?” He leaped forward but was immediately thrown back by an immense force. There was an invisible shield that separated him from Patrick. He placed his hand on the invisible shield. A bubble spread out from the spot he touched. “AI, analyze the shield.”

“Roger that.” The AI vanished from his HUD.

Yerra stepped back and drew his sword of flame. He charged it with level six magic. He raised it in high form above his head. His mind warned him not to free that thing, whatever it was, but his heart wasn't listening. There was no way Patrick was alive, but if there was the slightest chance he was ready to fight anyone, anything—even a god—to save that kid.

Yerra struck the shield with all his might. The sword crashed against the shield and shattered into pieces, its fiery sheathe displaced at the touch of the shield.

Nela coughed. “It won’t work. He is not fully formed yet.”

Yerra turned to face Nela, who sat on a stone with a weird smile on her face. Tears wet her face. She looked miserable, but her eyes bore a strange happiness.

“Nela, what is that thing?” he asked, kneeling in front of her.

Nela slapped him with such force that Yerra had to hold on to the ground to keep his balance. “That thing is my brother, you bastard! The brother you killed.”

“Master, that thing is not Patrick. I know that for sure. Why I know that, I can’t say, but there is something evil down there which shouldn’t be let free.”

“Will you please shut up, Sera? Don’t you see two adults are talking here?” He yelled in frustration.

Nela’s eyes jumped to look around. “Whom are you talking with? Do you see Sera as well? Is she talking to you?”

“It’s not Sera. Sera is dead and so is Patrick. I saw their bodies with my own eyes.” He breathed hard. Even today, the memory weighed on him like a mountain. “I’m sorry. I couldn't save him. But remember I lost my sister too.” He turned to look at the thing. “Trust me, Nela. That thing isn’t Patrick.” His mind begged him to believe the chained thing was Patrick, but his brain knew better. He had seen a shadow piercing Patrick's heart. He’d carried Patrick's body in his arms. How could that thing be Patrick?

Nela cackled. “You know nothing. Patrick is alive and will wake up soon, and then he will have his revenge. Do you know why I didn’t kill you? It’s because I want him to kill you.” Nela pointed toward the boy behind the shield.

“Master, get out of here! That thing is an anomaly in this world. You need to get help. You can’t beat them both with your current power.” The AI begged, fear on her face.

“Nela, we need to get out of here. Let’s go.
