RAKHAM

" NO DON'T PLEASE !! "

Marbas is screaming as an unknown man with long dark hair, a mask and an eye patch on his right eye, is murdering a baby with cold blood. The unknown man had shining terrifying left red eye and an obscure aura is surrounding him. Marbas tried to save that little boy, he looked for his ruby colored dagger but couldn't find it.

" AAAAA I TOLD YOU TO STOP !! "

The stranger drew his sword, it was a long purple katana with an evil aura. Marbas felt the crying and suffering of the katana's victims calling for his help, wishing for salvation as they were trapped in it. The stranger spoke :

☆Crimson Wyvern : Gravity slash !!☆

Suddenly the gravity of the room rose, Marbas got squeezed to the floor and couldn't get up. Marbas wasn't familiar with this word gravity or what does it mean, but something he was sure of is that man has an Auroeal too.

Auroeals are magical beasts that fought along side the ancients and the gods in the first great war against the forces of chaos. They were created due to the 'Sacred beam'.

The sacred beam's definition differs from culture to another, some said it was the first god's curse on the world for worshipping false gods and his rage upon all living creatures. Others say that it was the sacred sex between 'Dimourgas* and Gaia'* .

However the Auroeals began to extinct during 'Phenis the great Era'* who was afraid of their fast growth and their immense power. He realized they'll become a threat to the human race, a threat to his reign. Phenis the great with the help of his right and left hand ( he was the first to create this hierarchy system ) they decided to launch a war against those great beasts.

The Aether beasts were indeed defeated but they couldn't die because they were immortals as long as there is Aether flowning in the planet and giving life to the four elements ( fire, water, wind and earth ). Getting rid of the Auroeals means erasing Aether from existence, which means the doom of the planet. The left hand of the first king had a demonic idea, his name was Diablo. He dedicated his youth to discover 'the dark's dimension' secrets and he was the first one to ever practice demonology and make the first demon-human pact. He knew that demons could be sealed in certain object, the only condition was that those objects must contain enough mana. Phenis amazed by this idea ordered his most finest blacksmiths to create the perfect weapons and implementing them with mana. Eventually, they sealed Auroeals inside of those weapons and called those weapons 'Auroeals'.

☆Crimson Wyvern : Gravity slash !!☆

His Auroeal was insanely strong. The final moments came, the newborn baby will die, Marbas suddenly could move, however, his steps were short. He couldn't make it on time and the baby was brutally murdered in front of him. Marbas looked at his feet, they were little, he looked at his hands and they were small. He was in a younge boy's body, no, the birthmark is still on his right hand, it's his younger body. This is a fragment of the memory he got stolen. This guy is definitely Haboryn, the one he is looking for. Haboryn then approached him and smiled, it was like the smile of a predator catching his prey. He rose his Crimson Wyvern that it was so shining, yet so scary. Marbas was ready to face his fate. It was the end ! The katana is falling down to his head....

DEATH, DESPAIR, HATE

The last feelings he felt before he died.

No, wait the MC can't die because he has the plot armor right ?

He saw blood in the air, a beautiful young women was hugging him. He felt a familiar warm. She had long straight hair with his same color, she had green eyes like his. She was smiling to him. Her smile was so pretty, her touch was so gentle. Marbas never and never felt that good in his entire life. The grown man felt like a little baby for the first time. An urge of crying possessed him, he spoke :

" DON'T LEAVE ME MOM AGAIN PLEASE ! THIS WORLD IS SO CRUEL MOM. IT'S LIKE AN OCEAN WHERE EVERYBODY IS A SHARK. I JUST WANT TO REMAIN IN YOUR SAFE AND WARM HANDS. I DON'T NEED TO LIVE IN THIS LIFE ANYMORE. A LIFE WITHOUT YOU SHOULDN'T BE CALLED LIFE, IT SHOULD BE CALLED SUFFERING ! "

The gentle women caressed his hair :

" My little Aarón ! Your momma will stay always by your side. I'll always watch you, see how much you've grown from 'the great garden' in the moon. We will all join the moon and become part of it. I've lived a happy life Aarón. Giving birth to you and to your little brother was the greatest joy and pleasure of my life. You are a brave son just like your mother, you will oneday carry my legacy because you are my little Aarón ! "

She kissed him on his front and gave him a shinning red dagger. It has a word inscribed in it. The word was : 'μεράκι'

Marbas could hear wailing and crying from the dagger.

Haboryn drew his Katana once again to end the women's life once and for all. His katana cut the mom's smiling face and separated it from her lower body. Marbas scream from terror : " AAAAAAAAA"

" Marbas are you alright ? Are you having nightmares again ? "

It was the middle of night, Marbas heared a gentle voice waking him up. It was Emma's.

" What are you talking about ? Which nightmares ? " Marbas replied.

Emma was suprised

" It's the second night that you start shouting and screaming ! "

" Emma if you are using this to tease me I'm not in the mood "

Emma remained silent and her facial expression never changed. She was serious and worried. Marbas could read other people's aura. She wasn't lying.

" Shit ! I can't remember anything ! "

Emma took his dagger

" What ? Solarflare was also having nightmares ? "

" No Marbas look ! "

Marbas was shocked. The dagger was shinning and the word inscribed in it was luminous.

Marbas took the dagger and hide it under his pillow.

" I think you should get some sleep Emma ! It's past night. Tomorrow we have an important day "

Emma remained calm and that's what was pissing Marbas. No matter how much he turned her down or pushed her away she always kept that affection feelings for him. He though he was only doing his mission and that he isn't her prince charming or the one who protected her.

" You're reading my aura aren't you ? I assume you already know what I'm thinking of you. "

" Grrr " Marbas felt unease in this situation. He is not used for romantic moments or anything. The only thing he's good at is reading books and killing.

She approached him more and more with her pretty intimidating eyes, she was too close. Her orange hair was tied. She was wearing her sleepwear that made her breast half naked. Her dress was so intimidating and daring. Her boobs were so close to his chest, Marbas could see them clearly. She wasn't the little girl he used to know. He can clearly see that she is a grown women. Marbas blushed.

She took his right hand, admired his birth mark and said : " The view on the balcony is so nostalgic ! Wanna take a look ? "

She grabbed him and went together to the balcony to see the moon Marbas always admired for an unknown reason.

" Why are you always admiring the moon Marbas "

Marbas had a deep expression on his face :

" It sounds awkward but I feel warm around the moon. I feel like it is always watching me. "

" It isn't awkward at all Marbas ! I feel the same about the stars. Look at them ! They say they are every dead's soul resting in the afterlife ! "

Typical Marbas, didn't believe that because he was a critical thinker yet it was so entertaining and interesting to hear.

" Let's count the stars Marbas, shall we ? "

" Huh ? ar-" He wanted to tell her she can't but she already started counting them.

" One, two, ....., six. Can you count them all ? Of course you can't ! Can you count all the dead people from the beginning of time ? Impossible. "

Marbas stayed calm and was willing to hear everything until she finishes.

She added :

" Look at those two stars sitting next to each other, those are my parents. They've always had that love story. Father admired my mother, admired how she was strong, Mom admired how my dad was caring and loving towards his little family. Unfortunately they were another two victims to this corrupted system. I can look sad but in the inside I'm really happy for them. I can also envy them. They found the eternal peace next to each other. I just want to tell you Marbas that someday, this thing will come to an end as the next generations will blossom. We exist as sacrifices for a better and shining future. We are the only ones who can make that happen. We'll all die oneday. It's a question of how we used our remaining lifespan, whether we used it to create evil, or used it to erase it from existence. Maybe our ways of creating this peace is bloody but it's all for a divine cause : Create a better tomorrow to our kids and grandkids. I'll hope someday I'll rest as a shining star on the night besides my parents. I can't wait to tell them my stories and achievements. "

○ Is this The Emma I know ? When she was this wise and charming ? ○ Marbas was speaking in his head. He was hesitating and overthinking. He never had feelings for her or for anyone. He only cared about himself and his own goal, finding Haboryn and have the answers he always seeks. Emma approached more, he can smell her hair, her neck, she had the smell of a Lily of the valley. Her lips were glowing. He was uncomfortable when she approached her lips to his ears and whispered her magical words :

" Now relax ! "

He found himself trapped in her charm. She pulled his hands to her hips, her eyes became sharper and brighter second after second, she keeps attracting him. She stole the moon's beauty that day, got Marbas's full focus and affection. That's the secret power of the nicest and kindest gender. Whenever a woman get you trapped through her ocean of sexiness there is no escape. Marbas found himself gazing at her lips, she closed her eyes, she's approaching more, 5 centimeters, he can now sense her breath, 2 centimeters he can feel her warmth, 1 centimeters he can feel her boobs on top of his chest. 0 centimeters he felt ....

He felt something sweeter and soft touching his lips, this feeling sent shivers through his nerves evoking him from all sensations, made his body tremble. Marbas for the second time in his life felt weak, really weak, however this time, he liked it. The only words that kept dancing in his brain's cloud of ideas was, I want more, more and more of it. He gained a boost of power, he dosen't feel like a kid anymore. It's his chance for maturity, his chance to become a man. Emma is indeed smart. She played it cool and stopped. Her face had red stains under her eyes and it was so attractive. Marbas just won the heart of the girl everyone wishes to have a chance with. He deserved her body, that's what Emma was thinking. She waited him impatiently to make his move. The assasin became a man and pulled her to his chest. Marbas had never known he was capable of feeling and before a swimming goddiness spun him round and round, he knew that he was kissing her back, twice, three times. He've had a taste and realized it will never be enough. They were kissing harder, deeper with a fervent urge need they've never knew before. She let his hands play everywhere on her body and it didn't matter as long as his mouth was already on top of hers. She wanted that man, her charming prince, closer and closer. She wished that she'll never be able to open her eyes. She felt by her turn weak under his manly charm. She sensed his chest, slipped her hands lower and lower, felt his six abs pack, lower and lower, she felt for the first time, what a man is, she felt the treasure of the male. They decided to have sex on the balcony under this poetic sight, under the brightness of the moon. He just began to undress her slowly and slowly, nearly he will see her nipples escaping from her bra, and she will see for the first time how the treasure looks, it was close. The moment will happen ! It's their salvation, they will become a man and a women, in ONE, TWO ,THREE ....

" BIG BROTHER, MISS AERITH ? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ? "

Lovely times never last at all when they heared a kid's sound behind the door, it was Terric's.

" Tsssk what a drag ! " Marbas was annoyed.

They both were shy and uncomfortable. They were blushing so hard. An awkward silence ! Emma decided to kill this awkwardness by turning it into a joke :

" Are you having nightmares too kid ? I was giving Marbas a lullaby before he sleeps. You're now sleepy right Marbas ? "

Marbas too shy to look at the kid's face :

" Ah ! Yes Yes * he starts yawning intentionally * I feel so tired. I will go to my room "

" Me too I feel so exhausted. What a terrible day ! "

They both left to their proper chambers and the kid remained in the balcony astounded, never figured out a thing.

" Why are they ignoring me ? Those weird adults ! "

They maybe didn't have sex, but the Emma, Marbas relationship is evolving into a new level, something only the two of them can understand. Women and Men are created to serve each other, to fulfill each other's desire by practicing love, the greatest pleasure of life after food of course.

The next morning arrived, after the dark gloomy night, the glittering sun rays spread various hues of shiny silvers and golds. Everything was good, last night was unforgettable, the morning is beautiful, or that's what Marbas thought before he heared screamings from the motel's residents.

" It's a monster with the shape of a girl. "

" Big broth- "

" I told you to never call me that !! "

" Big bro "

" grrr what's happening ? "

" Aerith, Aer, is ... "

He was terrified and his eyes were full of tears

" C'mon tell me what's going wrong ? "

" Aerith is a MONSTER !!! "

Marbas already recognized what's happening, because he already faced it. He wasn't sure if he will be able to stop it this time.

" Listen to me kid, evacuate the people to a safe place." *He gave him a strange red coin with a circle drawn in it*

If I didn't make it I want you to run away and give this coin to a famous merchant in Shoji, tell him it was Marbas who gave it to you. He can help you save your sister."

" But you are strong ! You will make it right ? "

Marbas remained silent for a moment

" This is something far beyond my understanding ! "

He suddenly can feel a big radiation of aura in her room. It was so powerful. He heared a deep voice from that radiation speak to him :

" CNBB MBB RPANJI !! CNBB ... CNBB ! "

Marbas already learned demonic language in one of the books he read when he was young. He was able to understand the voice :

" KILL ALL HUMAN ! "

To be continued

**********************************

*Dimourgas : The father of all gods and the God of creation. He appeared in the first chapter of the ponifex*

*The ponifex : A religious book made in the first time during Phenis the great era. It talks about the history of the mankind and how the world created. It talks also about the future and what will happen. The church is using it as a law code for punishing the guilty. Some protesters say that the church is intentionally adding new laws for their purpose.

* Gaia : or The mother of Aether. When Dimourgas saved the world from the forces of chaos and released the Aether trapped in the core, Aether as a gift to it's saviour took the shape of a female and offered Dimourgas to be his mistress. Dimourgas accepted the offer and took Gaia as his wife when they both did the sacred beam. He had two kids with her :

Sephin and Yami.

*Phenis the great : The first emperor and king of the human race and the most powerful human that lived ever. He gathered human race for the first time after being chased by the Orcs for several centuries. He banished the orcs and other races to the dark territory in the second great war and created the first human empire that is now consisting of four great lands : Nuabya, Shallabai, Empire of Maunia and the south lands.

As you can see the story is more and more deeper than you think it makes me always afraid of screwing it. This project is so long and contains a lot of plot twists. Rakham is the name of the demon possessing Emma.

I would like to continue the project but I need your votes and share so the work will reach more people that can appreciate my effort.

If you need a filler arc explaining all the human race history and the ponifex's mythology feel free to add that on the comments.

Peace !!!
