"The time has come for every person living in Zantis to before I head for the neighbouring villages", Mr Black spoke to himself while sitting in front of the flaming fire. He killed a fowl and collected some of its blood in a cup. He poured it into the fire. After that, he poured a handful of sand into the fire and it became much bigger, rising up. A reflection of the late Mr Peter was seen in the fire.
"You should all head to the centre of the village and destroy everyone you see, big or small", he told the reflection. He poured a handful of sand again and the reflection left, with the fire going back to it's original size. Mr Black laughed;"This is going to be so much fun."
Mr White and the teenagers were watching what Mr Black was doing in the mirror. They couldn't imagine he could be so heartless to this point. "We've got to go to the village centre right now", the wizard was panicking. He stood up quickly before the rest did so. He told everyone to leave the room, leading the way. They left the room to go save the people of Zantis.
The priest was heading to the Peters mansion to talk to the clique. "They must be back by now", he said. It was past 7 in the evening. On approaching the mansion, he heard an owl hooting. "I always hate an owl around me", he groaned.
He arrived at the cemetery and found out all the graves had been dug open. He found out also, the graves were glowing red. He was both confused and scared at what he was seeing. His fear got to the maximum when he saw the bodies of the dead people rose up from the grave gradually. They were dressed in white robes, completely soaked in blood. They came out of the graves and were walking towards the priest. They were walking like zombies, but faster.
"Jesus Christ! I better run", exclaimed the priest. He ran down the hill at a very great pace. He was running down to the village centre and inform everyone. "I'll inform everyone in the village centre", he said. He was far ahead of them, but was getting tired after some time, the possessed bodies however, didn't seem to be. Their eyes were glowing green. The priest didn't give up and tried his best to keep on running as they were descending the hill.
Mr Black was watching in his mirror on the wall, the priest trying to maintain a long distance between himself and the bodies. But he found out the priest was getting tired from the chase and laughed at him.
He said;"You're a human, you have to get tired after some time, but those things chasing after you, don't have feelings and can't get tired." He thought of something. He saw the distance between the priest and those dead bodies was large. He laughed then;"Let me add a little tension to this movie of mine." He joined his hands together and began chanting some words.
The hill was levelled and very smooth as well. But Mr Black made a little bump come up in the road and the priest kicked his foot against it, tripped off and fell to the ground. He was feeling extreme pain and turned back immediately to see where the dead bodies were. He noticed they were faraway from him, but this time, not chasing after him. He wondered why the bodies were no more chasing after him, rather, they were standing at a place.
He suddenly saw their eyes glow from green to dim red. He heard noises both at his left and right and turned both ways to see what was happening. He saw two possessed bodies, one on each side, on white robes and eyes glowing dim red also, coming out of the woods. They were walking slowly towards him and he stood up quickly and continued running.
The two possessed bodies and the ones far behind ran after him, with a far greater speed this time. The ones behind caught up with the two ones closer to the priest. They were much closer to him. One of them got hold of his robe but couldn't get a firm grip and let go of him. They were running down to the village centre.
There was a market in the village centre. The clique, Nigel and Mr White warned everyone of the dead bodies coming to attach them but they didn't believe and were not interested. They put in their best to win over attention but, it didn't pay off.
Very soon, the sounds of footsteps were heard up the hill. It caught all attention as they looked up the hill. What they saw gave them a big freight. They saw the priest being chased after by possessed humans, coming towards them. There was chaos everywhere and all were evacuating, running away to save their lives. The teens also wanted to flee but, the wizard reprimanded them.
The priest ran past them and fell to the ground immediately, panting and sweating profusely. The bodies were coming closer. The clique and Nigel seemed to be shaking in fear but didn't want to run away. Only Mr White was the bold one around.
He closed his eyes with his hands stretched out, his palms facing towards the possessed bodies. He murmured some words and opened his eyes again. A very bright white light reflected out of his eyes to the possessed bodies. The light gave them a burning sensation and they faded away like just particles slowly. Everywhere was peace and quiet again.
Mr White had been hiding all this while and now he's come out to ruin my plans", Mr Black yelled, fuming in rage. He got up and walked closer to the mirror. "I'll make your life so miserable. Your death will be the worst of all." He walked round the room thinking on what to do. An idea came into his mind. "I think it would be best if I face you myself." He picked up a knife and looked at it, smirking.
White was addressing the crowd after the incidence of the possessed bodies. He said to them;"Black is our enemy. He doesn't see any worth in you all. He's been preserving those bodies from rot for a day like this. He hates us all...don't be deceived." The crowd didn't want to believe him. They even accused him of lying against Mr Black and some were very furious at him. They were making noise, Mr White was so uncomfortable with the whole situation. The priest was amongst the crowd, though he was silent all along. Mr White made his mirror appear in the air and everyone kept quiet immediately they saw Mr Black in it.
He was speaking to himself while packing up some things as he rushed to go out. "I'll make sure everyone in Zantis dies tonight", he said. Everyone was caught by surprise when they heard his words. Mr Black put a lot of things in a bag and rushed out of his room.
Mr White took away the mirror. "Now! Do you all believe me?", he asked. No one had recovered from the shock and all were still speechless. Mr White heaved a sigh;"I know Mr Black was helping everyone in Zantis, both his followers and non-followers." "Even the ants were being shown care", he joked. The clique gave him a weird look for the joke.
He added;"He was only doing those things to win your souls over to achieve a couple of things. Now! He wants to destroy you all because, he has achieved his goal." The audience got more frightened after what he said;"Don't worry! These fellows here with me and I, will help you fight against anything Black has to offer."
He turned to Darcie, who was at his right hand side and whispered to her jokingly. "You guys are really going to help me or did I just lie to these people?" Darcie understood Mr White was trying to be playful with her. She replied playfully;"I don't know why you're standing here lying to innocent souls.".
The fortune teller walked up to the priest and tapped on his back. "Who's...", he turned back to see. He saw the fortune teller. "Oh! Where have you been?"
"That doesn't matter right now. That's the girl I told you visited me earlier", he pointed at Darcie. "The one that just talked to Mr White, that has shocked everyone with his return after we all thought he was dead."
"Oh! So that's the girl? I met her earlier today but didn't know it was she." Dominic nodded in response. "But I wonder what was discussing about with White playfully", said the priest.
Mr White stopped playing with Darcie because he saw people looking at him and Dahlia curiously, wondering what they must have been talking about. "I think we should stop talking...everyone's looking at us", he said. They both stopped their discussion and White faced the crowd.
An elderly man amongst the crowd, came out and asked White;"Where were you hiding a this while?" "Well...it's not something to be discussed now. I'll...", he stopped when he saw something strange in the sky. He saw the moon in blood red. In time, others noticed their surrounding to be reddish and also looked up to the sky. It was a bizarre situation to them except for Mr White.
He explained;"I never expected this to happen this night. Everyone turned to him after his speech. "What does this signify?", asked Ethan. "Today's the "Descent of the Red Diamond." "What's the Red Diamond?", asked Finley. "There's in a cave close to the Peters mansion, a Red Diamond in which Lucifer concentrated a lot of powers into. If you touch it to tap out any powers, you'll be struck by lightning immediately, unless on this day, the day the moon turns blood red, the Red Diamond descends from the roof of the cave to the ground, vulnerable to being stolen by anyone who wants to attain the powers."
"I hate the fact I'm standing here right now", the priest murmured to Dominic. Dominic replied;"We've got no other choice. We have to stay with everyone, so endure." The priest only heaved a sigh.
The wizard continued;"This happens every 150 years and the priests of Satan always protect it from outsiders until the moon goes back to normal. It takes four hours." Something then popped into his head. "Mr Black must be going there now, I need to stop him." He raised an alarm.
Everyone turned to the hill on hearing the footsteps of people. They saw this time, ghosts on white robes, coming for them. Mr White brought out 7 swords from nowhere and gave the teens. "You'll fight those ghosts with these. These swords are special...once one holds it, it gives the person the ability to fight with a sword. Stab the ghosts anywhere and they'll vanish. These aren't just normal swords." They all nodded.
"But there's something you should know, these swords don't go with pendants because there will be interception of powers. Since the pendants are for protection and the swords for attack, they shouldn't be used by one person at a time. I wouldn't have given you these swords but, the rest of the people in Zantis don't have these pendants, so fight for them." He made the pendants on their necks vanish.
He spoke in a hurry;"Goodbye for now! You'll be victorious. Let me stop Mr White from laying his hands on that Red Diamond." He joined his hands together and vanished.
The clique and Nigel turned to the ghosts direction. "Let's deal with these!", shouted Nigel. The clique smiled and said in unison;"Yeah!" "If you find yourself in a tight spot, don't forget to teleport to another place", he added.
