Crystals

Third Person Point of View

"Vos! Quid vultis mihi dare dormit!" said by the monstrous creature wearing a cape. "Tu tam stultus homo vocare nomen meum. Non ego hoc dictum! Et propter bonum paratos esse consequentias."

("You! How dare you call me from my sleep!") ( You are such a fool to call my name. I won't let this slide! You better be ready for your consequences.)

"Domine mi tu scis quare diximus. Volumus aliquid ex te. Non dabo tibi munera et vota et ad commutationem." Briseis said to the beastly looking man.

(My lord, you know the reasons why we called you. We want something from you. We will give you an offering as an exchange for our wishes.)

The man in the cape suddenly thinks and looks at Briseis. He can clearly see the true form of the girl who is smiling at him like a demon.

"Quod si id quod vis, et dabo tibi!"

(If that is what you want, I shall give you that!)

The man raised his hands in the air and there was a quick flash of lightning that everyone saw.

Next in line, the deafening sound of very loud thunder was heard in that place.

A black smoke came out of the man's body and surrounded them all.

As they watched this smoke it quickly ran down their noses and wrapped around their organs. The whole squad suddenly gets dizzy.

"Audi vocem meam, et recordabor," the man said as he looked at the squad. "Uterque tamen votum habent rigidissimus quid velis. Uterque parvis nigris per vitrum dabo tibi et volueris vesci.

(Listen to my voice.) (Each of you will have two wishes so be very careful of what will you wish. I will give you each a black round small crystal and you have to eat it as you wish.)

Sed Sed non possunt omnia in hoc mundo. Quid tibi vis reddam. Seu tibi offerimus pro me desiderent. Si corrumpere nequiverat, interfecit: et tollet de rebus magni momenti in vita tua, unus ab uno!"

(But no things in the world are free, you have to pay for what you wish for. You have to offer me life in exchange for your desire. If you failed to do so, I will take important things from your life, one by one!)

After saying those words the man suddenly vanishes into thin air. All of them fell asleep and fell to the ground including Briseis. They are now under a curse from the God Necro who commands the dead.

The smoke enters the deepest part of their heart as it reads what they truly desire the most, what they hated the most, and what scares them the most. Everything about them was recorded by this smoke they inhaled.

Now that they were all curse by the god Necro. They can run away from him nor cut the curse. As Briseis said in the first place. Once they do open the book, there is no more turning back or she will kill you.

***

After an hour the squad opens their eyes. They are all confused and did not know what happened. Of course! They were all fell asleep as the god Necro records their life and destiny.

They saw two black small crystals on their hands, a sign that they did a contract to a god Necro.

"What is this? Why are we here?" Briseis said as she looks at the crystal.

"What do you mean?" Shawna asked her. "You are the one who brings us here! You just summon a demon and he gave us this."

Briseis was puzzled. She can't remember anything. The last thing she remembered was she was walking at an unfamiliar place in another dimension and then someone grabbed her feet.

"I really don't understand," Briseis insisted. "From what I remember I was in the girl's bathroom but now I am in a ruined building. Did you guys bring me here without my consent? And what are those things? Don't tell me you guys are already starting the ritual!"

Her friend is all bemused by what she said. A faze was seen on their faces.

"It was you who started this!" Marissa said to her friend. "Don't you remember? You just summon the demon, Briseis and you even tried to offer Kyle to the demon!"

Briseis looked at Kyle who is looking at him now. His face is afraid because he thinks Briseis is already insane.

"I don't what are you saying," Briseis defended herself. "I don't remember anything you guys are saying to me. Why would I harm Kyle? Why would I summon something? I don't know how to do a ritual."

"Are you lying to us now?" Shawna asked her friend.

"Stop that," Seven said to the girl. He thinks they will start arguing now. "We are already here. Look! We got these small black crystals! Now we can wish for something we like! Don't you think this is amazing? I will surely use this when I got home."

"Don't you hear, the demon?" Bret asked his friend. "He said that we have to pay for what we wish for. I doubt it is safe to use. We have to offer a life if we wish for something! Don't you get it? We have to kill someone in order to pay our debt!"

"Oh come on!" Seven said as he amusingly looking at the crystals on his hand. "We don't have to do that. We don't have to offer him life. As long as I have what I want, I don't need to worry. He can take everything from me but he is just going to fail because I don't have anything in my life that is so important."

"How about us? Are we not important to you?" Shawna asked her friend Seven.

"You do," Seven said.

"Then are just going to offer us just to get what you want?"

"Don't think too much. What is important now is we have two wishes. Focus on this first and let us just think what to offer later," Seven said and smiled.
