The Hybrid’s Curse

Book One

  FINAL BATTLE: LIFE AND DEATH

RYAN

Thanks to Eric for giving us the clues on how to dein the direction of the mad king, fighting and killing every obstacle on his way preventing him from going closer to the mad king, I saw Eric running in the direction of the mad king, fighting and killing every obstacle on his way preventing him from going closer to the mad king.

His pheromones was a lot different than before and this pheromone was filled with anger, hatred and bloodthirst. I needed to get close to him and assist him because the mad king was overpowering him, he has hurt him because I felt cut on my hand too and hurting Eric means hurting me and I didn't want him to get hurt any more so I hurried up.

I just finished killing the last enemy on my path when unheard a loud scream coming from the direction of Eric and I saw the mad king on the ground bleeding while Eric was holding his head and trying to break free of something, it was like he was fighting with himself and then suddenly I could see dark orbs surrounding him, the orbs were slowly absorbing him and then his hair became white and very long, longer than his usual length even when he transformed into his hybrid wolf, his clothing was transformed into a robe, an ancient cloth.

Then the orb formed wings and rested at his back, while some dark orbs forms a little circle and it was circulating him, he didn't care about the mad king again, his concentration was elsewhere. I wanted to run to meet him but I was held back by Anthony and Jake and then Selene ran to meet us, accompanied by the rest.

“That's not your boyfriend anymore Ryan, that's the dark lord and that his true form. He has finally taken over Eric’s soul and body” she said as we all kept looking at him

“I know I have to do something unless this place, this world would be burnt down. That's the dark lord plan all along” I told them and before I conclude what I was about to explain to them, we heard an explosion and then we saw our troops burning in flames and the castle being set ablaze and also the orbs wings were helping him to float in the air.

I saw the mad king trying to escape and it was like I wasn't the only one who noticed it as both Maxwell and Jake was about to run after him when a ball of the orbs blasted in their faces And exploding in fire sending Maxwell and Jake flying but Selene was fast enough to use a spell to catch them from collapsing on a building.

The orbs were like a ticking bomb, ready to explode anytime and by now Eric was far gone, the Eric I know won't ever, ever hurt his friends especially Maxwell, this is indeed is the dark lord, I wasn't seeing his fave anymore just the face of a stranger in a robe and a white silver long hair trying to kill people who are precious to tie body he is possessing, even if I should talk to the strange human, my voice won't be heard and I might be in danger too and then I remembered what I had promised Eric on the night we were to leave for the war, that I should promise him that I would be the one to kill him if he ever transformed to the dark lord and since I have promised him, I have to fulfil my promise and I quickly turned to Selene 

“What should I do to save him? I need to save him?” I asked her without taking my eyes off him

“You can't save him now, he is far gone. Even if you want to try you will risk losing your life” she said

“No, he is not, he is still there, somewhere inside of him. I need to wake him up and I am going to do it if it means losing my life, I will save him. So please just tell what to do wake him up or drive the dark lord out of him” I begged her 

  “You will feel some pain, I can't wake you up fully but I will try my best to do the little I can do.” she said and I quickly placed her hand on my head

 “Do it, we got no time. The little you can do will help me a lot” I told her as saw Eric, sorry, not my Eric anymore but the dark Lord burning everything to the ground and burning people too while he had a smile on his face, “do it now!!” I yelled at her 

 “Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis, Per Vasa Quo Errum Signos. Phasmatos Selvus Nos Ex Malom Terra Mora Vantis. Quo Incandis Per Vasa Quo Errum Signos. Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis” she chanted the spell and I felt every part of my body burning with fire, my head hurting me so badly and I cried out in pains, “ I am sorry I will help you reduce the pain,” she said as she places her hand on my head again, “Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala” she chanted the spell trying to reduce the pain but it wasn't working as I crumbled on the ground holding my head 

  “Maxwell tels everyone to retreat, Jake and Scott take Ryan to safety for some minutes,” king Alexander said but I held his hand as he was about walking away and I stood up, this is my fight and there is no way I am going to a safe place when my boyfriend is trapped inside a monster, hell no. I am f*****g leaving here with him or I die here with him.

 “I am fine, I am waiting for it to dig in and now it does I know little thing of what to do, Selene give me that necklace you said it belongs to me,” I told her and she searched her bag handling it to me and then turning to king Alexander, “Sire take everyone far away from here, as far as possible. As far as you can get, please don't come back here no matter what happened, Even if I cry out in pains please don't come please” I told them as i staggered  awayfrom their grasp.

  “Ryan you can't do that, you ain't strong enough yet to do it, please don't please, going there means your death, that's is like a suicide mission” she said while begging me

 “You don't understand, do you? If I don't stop him right now he will destroy I'm the entire city and everything that lives in it. He is no longer the Eric will know anymore and if I don't stop him, he will destroy everything on earth too.” I told them

  “Fine, then, we will stay with you and fight him together. We are Eric protectors and you know that and we can't leave him alone like this, our lives were meant to be sacrificed for him” Maxwell said while drawing out his swords, so with Jake and Cassy 

  “No guys, I am sorry but this is my fight, this was meant to be my fight a long time ago before I disappeared, I am the only one who can stop this, who can put an end to all of this. I am the only one who can return him back to normal, so please while he is distracted you all can leave please” I told them placing my hands together to plead with them to just leave 

  “You heard the man, everyone retreat to a safe place” Anthony yelled out and then turning to Maxwell he said, “Max mind link those trying to fight with Eric and tell them to run for their dear lives” and then finally to me, “we are leaving him up to you, be safe and good luck” he said before heading out

  “Ryan, please bring my son home, please protect my boy,” King Alexander said holding my hand,“that's my only request please”

  “I promise to bring him home” I told him and he let go of my hands, he ran away following the others to the safe place they were going to go till the battle was over.

  I took in a deep breath before releasing my breath and bring out the necklace Selene gave toner, I could recall why I had the necklace, the necklace was to put the dark lord ( Kerian ) to sleep and then during the process of his slumber, we will then remove his hand and setting his body ablaze together with the heart that was the only to destroy him completely,  whoever destroyed him a long time ago made a mistake by destroying his body and binding his soul into the dark magic book where he can still use his powers to possess someone. Now I have to cast him to sleep hoping it won't affect Eric and then look for a vessel to draw the dark lord spirit into so that I can completely destroy it and Eric can go after the mad long who escaped a while ago.

  Now the major issue is getting to him without being killed by those blacks orbs circulating around him, I didn't have my powers yet, I only know the spell that can cast him to sleep, there was not enough time for Selene to fully awakened me, so I have to make do with what I have now.

   I don't care about the danger that may come to me, setting my mate free is the most important of them all, I gathered all my strength and in a goal teleported myself towards his direction, avoiding the dark orbs he was shooting in my directions and the explosion of the orbs around me, avoiding each of them carefully and making sure I don't get hit by any of them or that would be the end of me.

  As I kept avoiding the orbs I held the necklace to my mouth and chanted the only spell I could remember that will put him in slumber forever and at the same time I kept praying the spell won't affect Eric just the dark lord 

 “Tenebris anima vestra contundito mortem et conteret spiritum. Frange vitam nolite corde ut sub terra esse, ad tenebras usque in sempiternum. Phasmatos imcendere ad pulvox” when I was done casting the spell on the locket of the necklace I leapt into the air

  I didn't notice the sword the dark orbs formed into and I jumped right into it as it pierced through me, coming out for my back, I spat out blood and I notice the dark lord spat out blood too, which means Eric was in there somewhere and the only thing blocking my way was the sword and hands were far from and without thinking much further I pushed my self forward as I felt the sword slicing things inside of me as I kept pushing forward until I was in an embrace with him.

  My eyes closing slowly and my mouth filled with blood, I placed the necklace in his chest as I yelled “SCRCUTUM!!!!!!”

The moment I said the word a bright light engulfed the both of us and I could slowly see the orbs disappearing as His hair was back to normal, his clothing was back to normal but his eyes were closed, at least Eric is back to me. My precious love

  “I love you, Eric, sorry I won't be there for you always,” I said as I coughed out blood from my mouth.

The darkness I was always afraid of going through was there calling out to me and I knew my time as come, with a smile on my face I welcomed it as we both crashed down on the ground with a thud.
