Nhoj’s Backstory

Nhoj was powerless to stop them. How could he? He was just a 7 year old boy, living life like he was supposed to (and with a whole lot of ego). He was walking with his parents and his 10 years old brother, Noah, when the shadows themselves started to move. They made a arrow, coaxing the kids to move towards it. Nhoj grinned, thinking it was another game by his parent, from a new toy they bought just for him. But his mom won’t let go of his hand, Nhoj wondered why. He thought his dad was trying to bait him to get him in trouble with his mom, like he always did. He decided “no, I am not gonna satisfy him, I’m just gonna keep walking”, as he proudly shook his head and continued walking. The shadows got angry however, for they rushed at group at almost the speed of light, grabbing the two kids as well as stabbing both of the parents, even the father lying in wait for the kids. Nhoj screamed, and that was the last time he did anything with his own mind or body for 7 years.

Nhoj was lying in bed, not tied up or anything, and he had to admit, it was the most comfortable thing he ever felt in his life. He was groggy, but when he sat up, he saw the most incredible thing, he was big! He stood up, feeling the well trained muscles in his body. “What happened to me?” he thought. A voice ranged out, talking to another man, saying “Do you think you should possess them again? I thought the time limit was 10 years”. Nhoj jumped in surprise, about to call for mommy, before all the memories went flashing in his mind. Either that, or he found there was no tears in his eye, and none coming. ( As you grow, the part of your brain controlling emotions grows weaker, and the rational part grows in. That why you don’t have the urge to throw a temper tantrum because your mom refuses to buy something for you)

“Naw, it will just be a waste of power, besides, there is a year left. After that, we could just kill him!”, said another man with a laugh. “Well, do what you want to do” grumbled the first man. “Anyways, I’m getting hungry, HEY! COME AND SERVE US BREAKFAST” this time, Nhoj almost cried out, but he realized if he didn’t do what the man asked, he would die. He quickly looked through the wardrobe, finding one dirty, smelly, and simply nasty piece of cloth that seems unwashed for years. “Years…” he thought to himself. He threw on his only shirt and pant, and walked downstairs. He saw two men, one with a potbelly so big it looked like he was 9 months pregnant , then with a hand picking his nose . He lazily said “ Nhoj, cook me some bacon and eggs” while the other man, well groomed and dressed, all while having a handsome face and a well trained body. The only thing that ruined the picture was the evil smile of satisfaction on his face. “ Same, but I need it perfect. Bacon hot and crispy, while the egg half cooked and still half raw.”. Nhoj realize he had no idea where in hell’s name is he. He took the opportunity to look around, he was in a dusty and hot house, with dozens of flys and mosquito flying around, but they didn’t seem to bit the two, but Nhoj noticed he had a few bites just on his arm. Naturally, he thought of how to escape. “ but first,” he reasoned, “ I need to take care of these ‘masters’”. Nhoj bow low and walked where it looked like the kitchen. The two men sitting on the chair was deeply surprised and just stared after him, the fat man resumed his happy chat while the handsome one stared at Nhoj’s back suspiciously. All of the sudden Nhoj leaped to the window and ran out, and both of the men stared and pinched their arms to see if they were in a trance. Sadly, they weren’t. “AFTER HIM!” Yelled the handsome man, while the fat one jumped towards the window. No luck, he just got stuck there, blocking off the window. The Handsome one cursed and ran out the door, but by that time, Nhoj was already out of sight.
