Familiar Sight

He dropped to his knees shivering and burst into tears, not of pain but gratitude. Kinea looks back to check for Tolo but he can't see him, rather he can't see anyone.

The busy town became as empty as an abandoned home and as quiet as a graveyard, there was a slight fog that covered them. Kinea looked over at his brother who looked had a very worried look, he on the other hand couldn't bring himself to validate it.

“Dad, are you alright??”, he asked while reaching out a hand.

Kinea grabs Kean and asks "Are you blind? Can't you sense something's wrong!?'.

"What are you talking about?!"

He pulls his brother closer and continues on saying "Can't you see?? We can finally go back to our old life, our real life! No more bitchy mission, endless training, we will be done”.

"Our dad's suffering and we can help him! Are you just gonna let him die out here?!”, Kean exclaims.

“Stop it Kean, this desperation is exactly what these evil bastards prey on”.

Kinea jacks his brother up to his face saying, “Do you think I want to be apart of this?! Or I ever wanted this?! If these six weeks have taught you anything at all, it’s that we can’t trust everything we see”.

"My sons please don't fight over me, just come with me. I have no ill will, a father's only wish is for his children be better than him", Mr. Patrick says before raising his hands in submission.

In the blink of an eye, there was an explosion. The shockwave pushed the boys to the floor. As the dust clears, Tolo was the infront of the twins.

"Tolo?!", Kinea and Kean exclaim.

"Shape-shifting, ability to alter domains and dimensions, teleportation. Your definitely the guy we’re after".

He gets up and shifts his crooked lower jaw back to it's original position, he still had a small grin on his face while looking straight at Tolo.

"Did you really think I wouldn't notice, your good but you aren't nearly strong enough to fool me. Kinea, Kean…watch closely", Tolo says.

"Rosaria Tolo, the young prodigy, the right hand man to the king of Babylon with power that rival supreme knights at the age of nineteen. The third and latest user of the mythical Celeraltis fighting style”, Mr. Patrick explains before being cut off.

“Child of Amy Mirabell Ros\-“.

"Keep that name out of your ugly mouth", he says.

“Ohhh, or what??”.

Tolo raised his hand and out from the clouds descended an axe, it landed swiftly in his hand. It was a completely black double edged axe which had markings on it resembling roses with its sharp roots and beautiful pallets. These markings then began to glow a cyan blue as he says, “I’ll be the last person you ever see”.

Mr. Patrick chuckles and says"This is gonna be fun".

The two rush each other, first cirlcling one another before clashing into themselves. Mr. Patrick manages to evade his axe, only blocking when it came to his arms and legs. He darts back kicks the floor under him sending spikes to surround him making Tolo jolt back.

Before he could even land Mr. Patrick raises his hands and sends dozens of energy blasts at him but with one snap of his finger a subtle wave of energy hits them making them disseminate.

He then appeared behind him and tried to land a strong right hook but Tolo swiftly dodged it before slicing his arm clean off. Mr. Patrick leaps away, trying to make up some distance.

"That's enough bullshit", Tolo says.

His eyes begin to glow, his body starts to steam and he dashes straight to him. Mr. Patrick attempts to stop him or slow him down by sending some energy beams at him but they all phase through him or rather he moves so slightly and so perfectly that it looks like he doesn’t move.

Reaching him at an unprecedented velocity, he slashed off his left arm with remarkable ease and followed on with his two legs.

He drops his axe and begins punching him with extreme speed, each time he punches him a small shockwave forms, he centers his punches on his stomach which begins to turn red due to the heat and energy being released after each blow.

“I told you, I’d be the last thing you see”.

"Flash Punch”, he whispers while punching through him with the remaining wind force blowing him far away.

He was panting, and the clothes around his arms were torn to shreds but he looked back at the twins and said: “There is something I must tell you”.

At night after supper, the boys were resting in their rooms before Tolo entered saying “Come boys, we must tell you the truth”.

They followed him into the King's throne room and saw him on his throne holding a familiar black book.

“Boys, you were attacked today by someone posing as your foster father”.

“Foster?”, Kean asked.

He took a deep breath before saying “I’m not too sure how to even tell you of this but here I go”.

He walked towards them with the book, Dante’s Inferno. The book began glowing the same ominous red after it got close to them, “This book is made for demons and witches and will only react when close to a demonic entity”.

“This book is reacting towards both of you, when we saw the demons wanted you two…no one would have expected this”.

“Are you trying to say we have demonic substance inside us?”, Kinea asked.

“After our research, I can say comfortably that you don’t have any demonic substance in you, you two are demons in actuality”.

They gasped, feeling an intense wave of shock. “Come on, you gotta be kidding”.

“I really wish I could but it is as it is. You guys aren’t just normal demons at that, this book talks about the offsprings of the king…but nothing else is mentioned about them”.

He then looks at them and says, “While this doesn’t change how we treat you or our agreement beforehand and it’s great that your demonic side was suppressed for so long, it’s still not best to let it be known”.

“You guys may go through some really weird stuff as you continue on your Spiritual journey but if you are the children mentioned in this book, we may have to kill you two”.

“That is if you truly are the offspring of Lucifer”.
