Chapter 4
"You seem calm for someone who just woke up in hell , I expected a different reaction , what a let down". The blue demon said as it turned around heading towards the direction of a cave. Maverick stood up and looked at the demon and said "well sorry to disappoint you but it takes a lot to get a reaction out of me ,you gonna have to do more than this". The blue demon laughed " you mean to tell me that waking up in a different body ,in a different place is not enough to get you sacred", he said this while turning around to face Maverick with a sinister smile on his face,"I guess getting killed by own brother is not enough to get a reaction from you either, right ?". Despite having know Maverick for a short period of time, he knew this was a sensitive topic and he did not care. After hearing the words of the demon in front of him, Maverick stood there in a daze as the memory of being shot by a gun ran through his mind. Without saying another word ha turned around and started to walk away. " Are you running away ?"the blue demon said ."No , am going back to kill him"
"Sorry to burst your bubble but you can't go back at the moment" the blue demon said as he clearer the moss that covered the entrance of a cave. "You are still too weak ,you don't have enough power to travel through time and worlds" he sat down as he said this and began to tend to his wounds." Isn't hell on earth ?" Maverick asked with a questioning expression on his face ,"Who told you that bullshit , the abyss or as you might call it, hell is its own planet just like your earth". "Then you mean to tell me that I have travelled through time?"asked Maverick but he did not receive an answer." Hey you, am talking to you"." Voldrak "." What ?" Maverick asked ."Its not 'you' its Voldrak ,that's my name"." I didn't see you having this kind of attitude when your brother killed you"Voldrak said,"Anyway, yes you have travelled through worlds".
This shocked Maverick so much so that he stood there in a daze with his mouth agape. '' Finally a reaction worth taking note of , anyway settle down first we have to lay some ground rules if we are going to be together ''Voldrak said. '' Sorry but from what I see am gonna assume you are a male demon , so to burst your bubble I am not into man , although that's not a problem if you do'' said Maverick while looking around the cave , taking in the environment. '' You are in the mood for jokes i see '' said Voldrak .''Does it sound like one?,anyway what are the rules? '' asked Maverick. Voldrak took a breath, he was already starting to regret saving this soul '' It s very simple , I have decided to take you as my successor , am going to pass all my knowledge to you ''.'' You will under go a super strict training '' Voldark said as a pentagram appeared on his hand and he started to use magic to make the cave habitable. '' What made you think that i would accept being your successor ''asked Maverick with an attitude. ''It would be wise for you to drop the attitude with me because believe it or not i can kill you with ease '' Voldark said with a blank expression. ''I had thought that you had a desire for revenge , i am giving you the perfect opportunity to gain the power to take your revenge ''. Maverick stood there in silence as he took in the information that had been said and as if on queue he knelt down with one knee and said ''I ask senior to take me as your disciple and successor ''. This change in behaviour came as a shock for Voldrak although his face remained stoic. ''I will forgive your past mistakes under one condition, you have to do everything i say to the last tee, do you accept this condition?. Without missing a beat Maverick gave a confident reply '' you command me to lift the mountains and it will be done ''. '' Stop with the weird poses and phrases '' Vodrak had had enough of it .''If you mean what you said then do five hundred press ups , squats and jumping jacks.
Maverick was at a lose for words '' I thought you said you have forgiven me for the mistakes i have made , why are you trying to kill me of exhaustion ''.''I have forgiven you but that does not mean that your actions do not deserve a punishment , stop standing around and start doing the exercise before the sun sets, we are going out at night ''. 'He is not even going to let me sleep to recover from the fatigue of this punishment ' Maverick thought to himself as he got down and started with the push ups .'' You are in a DEMONS body now, we don't really require sleep ,a demon can sleep once for every four weeks of its life '' this came as a shock to Maverick,'' Did you read my mind?''. ''No , you said it out loud although if i wanted to read your mind i could ''. ''No please don't '' Maverick pleaded. he did not answer so Maverick continued with his punishment slash train .As the day progressed Maverick continued with his training and one thing that surprised him was that he did not feel tired even though he had done five hundred push ups and was now almost done with the squats .It was a marvel to him, a refreshing change in pace. The exercise helped him shift his focus fro the fact that he had been killed by his loved ones. He needed something to take his mind of it or rage would consume him before he takes his revenge, he was going to take revenge on everybody who had wronged him and then destroy the whole world that had nurtured these kinds of people. What was it that he had done so wrong to be treated like a piece of shit, he did not ask to be born , why didn't they criticise his father who had brought him into this world?, why did his mother abandon him , why did she have to die and leave him all alone in this messed up world , why did they take out their anger on him?, why didn't they consider his feeling ?, was he not human just like them ? and at the end of it all the question that he wanted answers to the most was 'why him?'. Humans were purely evil, they would turn a blind eyes to injustice if it meant going against the wealthy and powerful. The wealthy could do what ever they liked and society would still try to justify their action in order to gain benefits , this enough was a worthy enough reason for their destruction .If a race is willing to over look crimes and sins committed by others then what awaits them is destruction. Who was he to judge others anyway , he had accepted being a demon without a second thought , he was no different from them , he had accepted being a monster all in order to gain power. All human souls were drunk on the idea of obtain power , the idea of power in its self drove humans to do vicious , unethical and malicious things to their own kind and race. So be it in the name of the divine GODS or the demonic DEMONS , humans were all monsters in the end.
