Everybody needs a friend or two

Mormo was in a world of his own creation, the blackness surrounded him as if to hug him.

All he could feel is a freezing cold aura, but it suited him very well.

Near him he could see a child, he saw himself at a young age.

This child looked at him, filled with hope and dreams.

He had a haughty expression on his face as if the whole world was under him mixing with an innocent touch.

Mormo looked at him for a while, unable to recognize him.

"Who is it?" Mormo thought to himself.

The body had a yellow aura around him which protected him from the never-ending freezing world.

"I want to live! I want to live this life to the fullest! I love my life and all the opportunities that it gives me! With this life I will conquer the world!" the young Mormo declare.

"I'm going to meet my mother! I'm going to meet my sister!" the small Mormo declared again with an arrogance mixing with anticipation and happiness.

Mormo looked at this small kid, he still couldn't recognize him.

He smiled an evil and mocking smile at the small kid, this kid annoyed him.

"why is he so happy?" Mormo thought.

"You do not belong here" Mormo said as he hold this kid by his hair and pull him up.

The small kid started to panic!

"No! I want to live! I have a lot of things to do! It's my life! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" the kid started to kick Mormo in his chest while crying and screaming.

This kid wanted to live!

"Die!" Mormo said firmly.

At this moment the kid stopped moving as hopelessness filled his face, while he started to evaporate from this space.

As he was in the middle of evaporating another form started to materialize.

It was a woman, a kind of ugly women which sat on the ground, a blue and lovely aura surrounded her.

It was Opal.

The little Mormo and Mormo stopped moving as they looked at her, she was full of smiles, she just looked quietly as the young Mormo vanished completely.

"I love you" Opal said.

The world turned black.

As Mormo opened his eyes he found himself in a middle of a room a golden thread snapped in his hand while six masses danced around him, while one turned to pitch black, and after a second all of them vanished.

"Mother …" Mormo murmured to himself.

"I …. Love you too ..." he quietly said.

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM

A huge explosion erupted inside of Mormo's head.

The wish to live as well as the love for his own life vanished completely from his heart! He wasn't aware of it, it's very hard to remember something that doesn't even exist in yourself anymore.

Mormo could feel that there is at long last plenty of place in his heart to start to collect essence again!

But only after a second did he detect Moshe … his last long FRIEND!

"Why is he lying there? Who hurt him?" Mormo was agitated.

And only then did he notice the gnome.

The essence of Mormo left his body, it was even purer than before, they were white and shiny, but his whole being was that of a crazy demon!

The gnome pushed all his essence out of his body he wanted to do something he was afraid out of his mind, he wanted to protect himself.

He was at the 9-god-level, the seer strength of his essence wasn't a joke, it performed a strong shield in the way between the gnome and Mormo.

The whole room brightened to an unimaginable degree.

The gnome didn't want to kill anyone, he was in complete peace with himself, it was a very weird feeling for him, but he felt like he just waked up from a horrible dream, he is finally awake, and he don't want to waste any more time in this place fighting other for nothing.

He found inner peace, and he didn't want anything to do with the disastrous, evil, and scary monster that stayed in his way.

The gnome turned around and run through the door as fast as he could.

Mormo tried to hurt him by throwing all of his essence into the running majestic gnome, which was full of beautiful and relaxing light, but he run so fast that in the time that Mormo turned around the gnome wasn't there already.

Mormo got somewhat confused but after checking again with his essence that the gnome wasn't around, he went in the direction of Moshe.

He was still alive, Mormo felt a very ambivalent feeling, he couldn't care less whether Moshe died or not, and at the same time, he was very glad that he is not dead, which means he had a friend.

He left him on the floor and went in the direction of the vice-captain, he wanted to see how their fight concluded, and he wanted to check if he and Moshe are in any danger.

As he came closer to the door, he saw that the room where the captain was fighting looked vastly different. The ceiling was in pieces full of ancient-looking symbols.

Where the floor was located a big hole could be found, and in the middle of the hole, only the vice-captain and the captain could be seen.

The captain was dead while the vice-captain was still alive, Mormo could easily feel that.

"Is he my friend?" Mormo thought to himself.

"No, but he helped me … " after some thinking Mormo's eyes shone brightly.

"That's right! He is my property" Mormo thought.

Mormo was very confused, he just experienced 20 years of torture, a life which hadn't any hope or dream in it, in addition to that he felt like he is just empty … like he never felt before … it was a very uncomfortable time for Mormo, he needed time to adjust to his new situation.

The vice-captain helped him and even saved Moshe his beloved friend! He needed to understand how he felt about him.

After Mormo recognized him as his property, he went down inside the hole, removed the hand of the captain from the back of the vice-captain, lifted him on his back, and went back to Moshe.

He put him on the floor and went across the corridor.

As he went his reasoning and rationality came back to him … each step that he did his mind stabilized as he came back to his old self.

When he exited the long corridor, he looked way older than before, more worn out, eviler than ever before as his eyes shone with intelligence and instability.

At the end of the corridor, there was a big screen-like object which startled Mormo.

It looked very similar to the one you can find on earth, the only difference was that it was made from a big stone and that you could detect a lot of essence floating inside the screen.

It was the first time he saw an instrument like that! As well as an instrument which someone inserted his essence into it!

On the screen, Mormo could see the whole forest from above.

As Mormo tried to interact with the map it was very close to a tablet screen.

With a touch of his essence, the screen zoomed in and out on the forest.

Mormo couldn't leave the area of the forest with the screen, but when zoomed in enough, he could even see a tiny ant all over the screen.

Mormo had a lot of questions about this screen or this room while he kept experimenting with it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"They are dead, all of them" said a black shadow quite excited.

"It's probably an anomaly quick!!!" shouted another black shadow.

10000 shadows could be seen running in the desert in the same direction, one couldn't really see anything but a shadow without a mass all over the desert in the middle of the day.

They run at an extreme speed!

As they run before them a troll materialized, with a happy and intelligent smile.

"Where are you all going on such a lovely day?" said the troll.

The shadow didn't even try to talk with him as they scatter around and tried to run from him.

The troll was quite disappointed, but then a big black shadow flew from the ground in the direction of the troll.

It was an all-out attack from the elder of the shadow clan a real 10-god-level cultivator!

"Don't stop! try to go and fetch this anomaly!!! We will meet at our real basement!!" a strong sound echoed from the sky into infinity.

As this attack was about to touch the troll a death of god-like creature climbed out of the troll's shadow and pushed his bony hand into his head.

"HAHAHA for a century no one tried to attack me" the troll said happily.

"Didn't your grand-grandfather remind you, again and again, to not go against me?" the troll said with a happy grin.

he was truly happy at the moment.

Then out of nowhere the whole world come to stop.

All the shadows stopped moving, and the attack that flew to him froze in place!

The whole world turned white, the whole sky turned blue as the floor filled with ice!

The desert was calm and at peace, everything turned white mixed with blue, as everything behind the troll turned to ICE!

He held in his hand a fairy-like creature that was already dead, the troll dropped the fairy to the ground, and as the fairy left the troll's hand, she turned into a white sculptor while falling to the ground the same as all the other shadows which completely froze in place!

The troll looked in the direction of the forest anticipation in his eyes for a long moment before turning around a leaving in the direction of the school.

When he left, no remaining could be found of the elder, the 10000 shadows, or the fairy!
