16. Whose That Beast?

Attack! The war began, the demon sat on the ground and began chanting mantras, but his voice too low for anyone to hear him. "Hey, ugly beast get up, fight we don't attack the unarmed enemy!" All the soldier's started coming out of their formations. Jane interrupted them "Stop get back to your positions I know this trick!" You know him, father! " We will talk about it later Larry, bend down and make your legs stand strong!"

After a few moments, the beast opened his eyes and shot beams of dark light, which caused the ground to shake!" Jane, you have become stronger, from the last time!" Attack in tortoise formation will be key to our victory! All the soldiers came into a tortoise formation and ramed to the beast. The beast just became transparent and the army clashed to the pillar of the castle. "Army of fools, you don't deserve to fight me." He used his wand, and formed an army of demons! The tortoise formation broke, and soldiers scattered, they had to fight demons single-handedly. The soldiers were well trained, they managed to kill all the demons, but they gave away the beast most precious thing, time! Hee chanted a spell and boom! All the soldiers died, none of them survived, except Jane, Larry, James, and Mother Nature. " How did the sage survived! I need to prepare for him." Father attack him, but Jane was frozen he can't move his sword and the beast escaped into the depths of the earth's core.

James and Larry couldn't understand what happened, they made a camp and brought their father in it. "Great sage what happened to our father?" He remembered something, about the beast. " How does he knows, the beast?" Jane came out of the tent and sat beside the sage. " Father, how do you know the beast?" Sage interrupted them, let your father take some rest, let me do the favour of telling you the story.

"When your father was a small kid around six or seven years old his father, great General Diego, went in a war. The Euronea was ruled by king Jorden. In the past Euronea was in continuous attacks by demons, and beasts who came from hell. Diego was a brave and strong General, never feared anything. He fought the war and defeated all the demons with just a couple of soldiers on his side. A month passed to that war, then suddenly one day, few villagers found strange activities in the nearby forests. They plead king Jorden to send few soldiers and check what is the phenomena. King Jorden thought it to be a demon, but has caused no problem, he thought there will be only one or two demons. The army was almost finished, so he sent only your grandfather Diego to check what was worrying those villagers. When your grandfather went he found nothing strange and was about to come back to the main palace, found red and blue lights coming from a bush! He chopped the bush away and found, a baby, a baby of demon he had only one eye, and a small wand in his hand. He didn't want to kill him and thought he can teach him good values, and show demons can be good. He brought the baby back to his home and hide it from, the people of Euronea. He informed king Jorden, there is no demon in the forest and villagers must have got an illusion. Your grandfather named that baby Guana, your father Jane and Guana were like brothers and loved to play with each other. Ten years passed happily, Guana had improved his magic a lot but never troubled anyone. But, one night Guana felt thirst, he checked the whole house but didn't found water. He went to the river to have some, but when he was drinking water, a soldier saw him and called recruitment, and attacked Guanahe didn't want to use his magic but had to do it to save himself. He killed the soldiers but was very scared, he rushed to the home near Jane and went to sleep. The next morning he was pulled out of his bed by Diego, he scolded him for killing soldiers, and threw him back to the forest, he thought demons can never be good, without knowing the actual situation he threw Guana, Jane tried to stop him but couldn't. A year passed and your father Jane became assistant general of Euronea. Then one day scouts rushed to the palace and told the king about the approaching army of demons. Your father was assistant commander so was not allowed to actively participate in war. Your grandfather took a small army he was confident, to win the war before the afternoon. When he reached the battlefield, he found a devastating site, Guana leads the army! Within minutes the war ended, Guana's power increased a lot, he went his army back and came close to Diego. He told your grandfather what happened that night, he felt very sorry for his behaviour. He told him, how demons found them and he felt like coming back home. He left your grandfather to die suffering for his mistakes. The next day your father was made the general and led the army, your father was smarter than your grandfather, he separated his army into two parts and hide archers behind the hills. Guana chanted a spell and jumped from the sky somehow two-third of the army survived, Jane, controlled the army very well and the war lasted for more than a month! Heavy bloodshed occurred, Guana a book of endless spells, no one was able to reach too close to him. Finally, no demon or normal army was alive only your father and Guana, Guana was hurt by a spear on his right arm, Jane cut a piece of cloth and dressed his wound, Guana was touched, but couldn't forget his regret. He carried Jane back safely to the Euroneas infirmary, he did the duty of brother but promised himself to never ever help a human.
