The hellhounds were the first to come every single triple full moons, they were scary dark creatures, and they were fast, strong with enhanced senses.
No one saw them and stayed alive except for Ethyl and Isiah, people didn't know what they were, what they did , how to kill them, or what they looked like, but they witnessed the destruction they caused these whole past years.
All districts had their fair chair of chaos this night, houses were crushed underneath the hellhound's feet, and people who didn't take maximum precautions were killed brutally, but the only thing that was different from all the past triple full moons was that casualties in other districts were low compared to in District one .
And that was backed up by the low percentage of people who stayed there after all that happened to them with the natural catastrophes.
The sky itself was announcing the conjunction between Delwias Island and the world beyond, the energy floating inside the region was very negative and dark, the atmosphere was still the same but there were some additions people with divine energy were able to sense i,t even when they were hiding in the deepest basement in the area.
" We are going to die, we are going to be crushed and killed, we are going to be drowned into the other world once the monsters reach us, we are staying in the open air like idiots" A woman shouted while holding her kid's right hand tightly .
" It's been 2 hours since the event started, and I can tell that there are no portals nearby, " a man stated.
" We have to hang in for one more hour, i can hear screams from afar but it didn't reach us after all this time "An old man informed .
" A portal could appear at any moment, and being stuck in here is not going to help us" Another man said.
A few kids were crying when they saw the scared looks in the adult's eyes. The atmosphere was so intense, everyone was anticipating the next thing that could happen while biting their lips of regrets.
They wanted to punish themselves for trusting the leader of district one, he looked very innocent and they didn't think that he would be this cruel when they all were just one region versus the whole leveling up system.
In a corner, a teenager sat and began to create shapes with his magic to divert his attention.
He looked as if he was out of this place with that empty gaze toward the animal shapes..
His name was Heigl, 18 years old, and lost both of his parents in the earthquake, he survived only because they managed to create a shield with their divine energy to protect him.
The shield disappeared the moment they died, he had a lot of injuries but he managed to follow the pack for days, Heigl was clueless about his next step and when he saw people walking together he just started to walk with them.
He was still shocked by his loss however he just kept on walking with an empty mind, he was not paying attention to anyone, and even when they were trapped here he just stayed away from everyone, and kept on creating shapes of animals with his divine energy to pass the time.
When one of the elders saw him, he walked toward him very angry and pushed him until he fell to the ground, his blue eyes were carrying a tremendous pain in them, and his crescent thick shaped brown eyebrows were relaxed as if he was not feeling anything after that fall, his weak body was trembling yet he didn't collapse.
Heigl was not strong physically and his powers were not that glamorous, however he was proud of himself all of his life because he had his parent's support.
However, being here with people he never spoke to after losing his parents was a very hard thing.
" How about using these pathetic powers of yours to help us break this spell instead of playing in the corner like a kid?" The man ordered.
Heigl looked at the ground because he was too tired to look at him, yet the man insisted on his stand and talk to him.
" My powers aren't that great" He answered with a very low voice.
" Leave it to me, i can decide if your powers are worth shi*** or not" The man didn't leave him any chance to argue or explain himself, he jumped towards him fast then put his hand on his shoulder and said:" I will drain you, how about that? You clearly are a pathetic mage with low powers, it is only fair for you to share your divine energy with someone who is able to make you all safe" Follow current novels on n0velfire.net
People didn't seem to mind what he did to Heigl who was half his size, which made him feel angry and lost .
Heigl knew exactly that the man was going to take all his divine energy if he could, so he tried to break what he was doing .
" Leave me alone, '' Heigl shouted while trying to escape from draining his power.
" Don't act like a spoiled little kid, you are doing it for a higher purpose"
Heigl released himself with difficulty, the pain was more than he could take, and he was done with that man's bullshit**.
" I am not helping you, i don't even have that much divine energy, to begin with, let alone to give it to you, if you want to save us please do but don't get anywhere near me okay, "
The man was surprised by Heigl 's resistance .However he tried desperately not to show it to the others.
" Of course, you don't even have that much power" He tried to hide his true reaction. Sure, Heigl didn't have much power, but he had more than him which made him scared if he ever tried to resist .
Heigl walked toward the corner, he sat there very calm as if nothing had happened, this time he tried not to draw attention to himself by creating those shapes only to be interrupted by a scream.
