Shadow Slave: Prince of Darkness

RUMBLED!!

Amaris quickly snap out of her thoughts as she look at the huge door opening with a load rumbled, reveling the figures of the two children's, who were walking side by side while holding each other hands.

'Look who decided to show up.' thought Amaris her gaze fixed on Raizel, completely ignoring Raphael existence.

She could feel that Raizel has become stronger, but not to the point where he could leave a scratch on her.

Suddenly she narrow her eyes as she look deep into him.

'Hmm.... it seems like he still didn't awaken it.' thought Amaris as she shifted her gaze back.

Her eyes landed on their hands, which her interlock, anyone could guess what this mean.

Looking at them holding hands, like some cute lovers, Amaris couldn't help but laugh mentally.

'If only they knew~' indeed if only they knew what Amaris has store for them.

THUD!!

The door was now closed with a loud thud, leaving the twins standing, they stare at their mother without a single bit of emotion in their purples eyes, their facial expressions were cold.

Amaris too stare at the twins with an unknown smile on her face, which seems to have send a shiver down their spine.

Raizel(pov)

Looking at my mother, whom i have not seen for months, i couldn't help but think that something about her has changed.

'Her eyes.....' i don't think the colour of her eyes was red.... or was it ?

'Brother is it just me or does it feel something has changed about her.' said Raphael though her connection, a frown was present on her face, i could feel her uneasiness and fear as she tighten the hold of her hand.

'Well it seems like i am not the only one who thinks like this.'

'No you are not the only one to think that.' i said while keeping my gaze fixed at mother, who still has her creepy smile on her face.

Still i can't put my finger into it.

'Just what is this feeling ?' i could feel a strange feeling from my chest, this feeling is started to become more and more strong the movement i step into this room, a sense of creepiness that something is not right about this situation.

Just i was thinking about this, when suddenly mother simply vanish from the throne, she was sitting on.

???

'She was right their just a movement ago!!' i thought as my eyes darted around trying to find her.

!!!

Suddenly i feel a cold sensation behind my back, just as i was about to turned around, when i felt a sharp pain radiating from my neck.

'... R-Raizel.....'

The last thing i heard was the voice of my sister which sounded helpless, before everything went dark.

Amaris(pov)

Looking at the unconscious twins in front of her, who lay in the cold floor, a sigh escape from her lips as she pick up Raizel and carry him in a princess style, she also pick up Raphael with her telekinesis.

SWOOSH!!

Suddenly she vanish from her spot only to appeared in a unknown dark chamber, still holding Raizel and the floating Raphael.

The dark chamber was mostly empty, and the only thing that was strange about this room was the two star patten that were on the floor, one black and one white.

Amaris moved both Raizel and Raphael towards the stars patterns.

'Now all the preparation are made.' thought Amaris as she started removing Raizel and Raphael clothes.

After removing all of their clothes, she put Raizel in the black star patten and Raphael on the white one.

After putting them in their position, she took out five blood red crystal, size of a fist and each of these crystal gave off a creepy feeling to anyone who even look at them.

She put these blood red crystal around the white star.

After putting the last crystal, she made a small cut on her finger and drop a few droplet of bloods on the crystals.

All the crystals glows for a bit after absorbing the drops of blood, before going back to normal.

'Perfect.' thought Amaris as she let out a satisfied laugh.

After checking one last time to see their was anything missing or not.

Seeing everything fine, she nodded her head.

'Now with this method he will surely awaken that.'

The method she was talking about was the one she found in the Book History of Nobles. In that book, in one of the pages it was written about how to increased one potential and power, this method can only be used by the member of Pureblooded clan or the Royal family, this method include about sacrificing something precious to the one, who wants to increase his or her potential and power.

Amaris already knows that Raizel potential was limitless but she needed this method for Awakening his dormant power which is Aether.

'Although he would awaken it when he turned older, but i can't wait for that long!!'

She knows that when a child of a Pureblooded clan turned 20 years old, he/she would then Awakend this power called Aether, but Amaris can't wait for that long.

'Since those bastards are starting to become a headache.' thought Amaris as she massage her temples, frustration was clearly visible on her pretty face.

The bastards she was talking about were non other then the three so called great clans and the government because they kept on pressuring her to give them a place on the new realm she found beyond the ocean, which landmass is twice then Nereza and is filled with countless opportunity.

This information was not known to anyone expect for only eight people including her. But she didn't imagine that one of them would betrayed her, by leaking this information to the so called Great Clans and the government.

And because of this information leak, those peoples have set their eyes on this new realm, they also started sending their spies, which never come back because Amaris was sure to take care of these spies.

But she knows that it was only a matter of time before they themselves come, although she was confident in fighting against these Sovereigns but it will also greatly injure her in the progress.

So that why she needed Raizel to get stronger faster.

'Although i have already taken care of that traitor, but even i didn't imagine that she would be the one to betrayed me.' thought Amaris as her eyes dimmed a little, She started remembering the past they had shared and the things they had gone through together.

She quickly shook her head, getting unnecessary thought out.

'Right now i need to focus on Raizel.'

She needed to make sure that her child Raizel should be ready, since in future he would be fighting side by side with her, and also a war was coming, she could sense it not now but soon in future their would be a war. So she needed him their, and it would be best if he was prepared in advance.

'Now first things first, i need to remove his memories about this bitch.' thought Amaris, her eyes turned cold, a faint killing intent was hidden in them.

The bitch she was talking about was Raphael, she knows that her child loved her and have some feeling for her which she was honestly pretty jealous of, Amaris knows that she was not a good mother because of what she did to Raizel, when he was just a kid but she has her reason for it too.

The reason for torturing Raizel so much was because she has read in the Book History of Nobles is that, a Noble only become stronger by more he/she suffer, mentally or physically. The more pain they go through the more benefits they would receives.

They also become more stronger as they challenged more powerful opponent, that why the Noble race was feared throughout the universe.

And she herself was the prime example of it.

Amaris knows that Raizel may not be able to understands right now, about what she has done for him, but she was confident that in the near future he will thanking her. 

She then crouch down and put her hand on the top of Raizel forehead.

The reason for her hatred for Raphael was nothing much, it's just that she was the daughter of her dead sister, and also someone who Raizel loved.

But she didn't outright killed Raphael since she has other plans for her, Amaris was going to use Raphael or should we say she was going to sacrifice her for awakening Raizel Aether. That why she let Raphael stay near Raizel, so that the two of them can develop a bond.

'Your usefulness is now over.'

Amaris closed her eyes and used one of her ability that allowed her to control the mind of any living beings, she can watch memories and also remove any memories or rewrite them as she wishes.

But the only drawback of this ability is that she can only control the mind of only those that are weaker then her, and she can only used this ability for 5 times in a day. It not like she can't used this ability more time, it's just that the ability put a lot of stain in her mind.

Amaris then quickly used her ability to get inside Raizel mind but was surprise to find that someone or something was blocking her from entering his mind.

'....interesting~ ' thought Amaris as she used her Aether to put up a pressure on this unknown energy, and she even succeed on doing it. Although she could have easily destroyed this energy but doing so would also lead to Raizel soul getting destroyed, which she definitely doesn't want to happen.

'i need to be quick.' thought Amaris because she can't surpassed this energy without destroying it in the progress. 

First she started removing his memories about his sister, from the very beginning the movement they were kids and because she was in an hurry she accidently also remove some unknowns memories, which she doesn't know of what they were.

' i don't think they were of anything important.' thought Amaris as she quickly let go of the mistake she made.

After checking she has removed all the traces of Raphael, she nodded in satisfaction as she stop the mind control, she also wanted to add fake memories of herself and him spending some good time, but it seems like that energy was starting to go on a rampage.

So she has no another choice then to stop.

She then look at Raizel with a crazy glint in her eyes, her red eyes which were hollow now has a heart shape patten in them.

"Now~you~will~always~be~mine~" said Amaris as she kissed Raizel in the lip before standing up.

Amaris then summoned a book from thin air, the book was dark red in colour and their were also some words written on it, in unknown language.

"""@#$R$$^^&&***(((@@#$$%a%"" Amaris then started speaking the words that were written in the books, the language she spoke was of Unknown origin, her voice sounded hollow and cold, the red crystals started to glow as she speak more and more, in the same language.

Soon Raphael body with lay on the black star started melting, first it was her flesh and then slowly it was her organs and then finally her bones, after a few seconds nothing of her remains, all the blood, flesh and everything about her body was absorbed by these red crystals, which has now turned into bright red light luminating the whole dark room.

The room now has turned crimson red because of these red crystals, yet non of these seems to stop Amaris as she continue chanting the words.

Unknown to her, outside the castle dark clouds have started to gather, making the sky pitch black in colour, on the dark sky only the red moon was visible because of it bright crimson light that seems to be comparable to a sun.

Even the dragons that were arrogantly flying in the sky as if they owned it, has put their feet's in the ground. The dragons who would let out a roar from time to time as if show their authority, has now gone silent, their instincts seems to be telling them that something was happing, something so dangerous that it will soon change the very foundation of the world they live. 

But these things were not only happing in Nereza but in the other Dream realms too some things was happing, but in the walking worlds things were too chaotic. Imagine you were walking down the streets and it was daytime, when suddenly you notice that the sky has turned pitch black and in the dark sky only the red sun was shinning because of bright red it has turned.

General public were now in chaos, people were running here and there, some has closed their house windows, some were screaming in despair, while some were saying that the world was finally going to end. The government has mobilized everyone of their Awakeners and Masters to clam down the panic public, but if one were to look closely they could see the fear deeply hidden in their eyes.

It seems like even they could feel the changes that were happing around them, even better then the ordinary human.

Somewhere far way, outside the flow of time and reality in an unknown dome hidden in the darkness, a palace created by the tall mountains, completely different from it surrounding

At the top of the mountains at its highest peak, stood a castle imposing and unbreakable.

""Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~Hi~"" a sound of laughing of a women echo throughout the castle, the laughter sounded so empty and emotionless, as if it held no purpose.

Once the laughter faded away, another voice filled excitement spoke it sounded of another women. "He has returned;; The Prince of Darkness has return!!! now we can continue our contest on conquering this universe once again!!"

Back to Amaris, who has unknowingly created a chaos which she may or may not regret in the future.

"@#@#@!!!?/" Amaris continue speaking the words written in the book, her red eyes were now bleeding non stop, some of the drops of her dark red crimson blood even fall on the red crystal only to make it more glow.

The red crystals started releasing some energy in a form of a red and black threads, which were slowly moving towards Raizel to cover him up.

After some time, three of the five crystals has turned into ashes, after releasing all of their energy, Raizel body was now mostly covered in red and black threads, expect for his head.

One minute later.

Raizel was now fully covered from top to bottom in the red and black threads, his body was going through some unknowns changes.

Amaris has also stop speaking the words, she kept the book away, since it use was over, she turned her gaze to Raizel who was covered in red and black threads which has taken a shape of a cocoon.

She knows that the process was now mostly over, and it was time to wait for the main result.

Luckily she didn't have to wait for that long, because after 5 minute later cracked started forming in the cocoon.

CRACK!!

CRACK!!

CRACKED!!!

Suddenly a pale white hand shot out from the cocoon, Amaris seeing the hand a wide grin manifest upon her face.

'Success!!'

BOOM!!

Soon the cocoon bust open with a loud boom, and a small figure immerged from the red smoke.

The figure has a very long thick dark purple hair that were reaching down his back, his big dark crimson eyes which look like a ruby with long dark eye lashes, his lips was pink in colour, while his skin is white as snow with out any dark spot, his face is extremely feminine looking to the point that anyone can mistaken him for a girl.

Pic

The figure was naked reviling it's body fame which is thin slender and curvy, with a height barely reaching 165cm.

This figure was of non other then Raizel, who has been reborn a new.

Raizel walked towards Amaris, with a blank expression on his face.

Amaris look at Raizel with a charming smile on her face, she spread her arms as if waiting for a hug.

But Raizel stop in the mid way, he simply stare at her with his red hollow eyes, calculating her every move.

Amaris seeing this cough in embarrassment, but inside she was greatly disappointed for not receiving the hug she was expecting.

'Is he in his rebellious phrase ?'

Removing these thought she look at Raizel with the same pretty smile on her face, then said in a sedative voice.

"Welcome~my~Child~"
