The Nine Knights of Creation: Chapter 3: New Blood
Part of a short novel I've been working on (It's still being edited & Written)
The centre of the Omniverse is a marble building with basalt details. It's held together with magic, given by the Knights. In this immortal chamber, the Knights decide what should happen to Creation, and whether or not to allow a Great Act; whether to declare war on a realm.
"Brothers, I am here to ask you a question of great importance" The Divine Knight announced. "The children of the Knights wish to become Knights. I propose that we make them sub-Knights of their speciality."
"Brother, do we really need more of us?" asked Diablo, a being of pure fire and wrath.
"With Chaos rising, what choice is there? We either fight or watch, and to fight, we need more power." The Divine explained.
"I agree, the children of the Knights should have the chance to be sub-Knights." The Lich King shouted. "Brothers, we, the Lesser Knights are tired from the repair of Earth!" The Knight of Metal, a metallic giant exclaimed, shaking the room with the roar of his voice.
"Do not worry, they will not take your power, they will take some of mine, and with it there will be New Blood in this Council..." Divine explained.
"Fine, but is that for all of us?"
"Of course it is, Diablo."
"Very well, I will contribute power too..." Diablo reluctantly agreed. The Knights left the Omniverse, and created a potent device that would give each child of the Knights the power of the Knights.
The Knight of Darkness left the Omniverse and returned home to his son, Alixie.
"Father, thank you!" exclaimed Alixie upon hearing the news. The Knight of The Dead replied,
"My son, you've earned it, but remember that the power is for protecting Creation, and not for personal glory."
"I understand, Father." Ishconor left his son to prepare his weapons before the training. The Knight of the Dead had made a mace to suit him, and some gloves that launched daggers, cut from emerald, with Shadow-rope attached so he could pull his enemies towards him, they were also tainted with poison that glowed an eerie green and could paralyse.
After their training, the sons of the Knights were able to help in the many battles that occurred. They were given the honour of representing an element that they had mastered, as they learned to use the device that gave them said power. Sub-Knights were sent to Earth on missions of destroying Chaos and protecting those worthy of protection, however, the Knights were quickly turned upon by the human race when they saw them destroying the Chaos, as they saw the Chaos as innocent people. Members of the Police force, Military, Special forces and even citizens with weapons fired upon the Knights.
On the Earth date of December Tenth, 2014, The Knight of Darkness teleported into the White house, directly in front of the President. Upon his sudden entry, the doors slammed shut, cameras were broken and windows barred.
"Who...What?" The President stumbled. "I am Ishconor Stracothia, and I have come to speak with you about a matter that could end your world." "You're a Knight, aren't you?"
"I am the Knight of Darkness, the leader of the Knights."
"Why are you attacking innocent people?
"They are not innocent, they are agents of Chaos sent here to destroy your world, and feed it to Chaos."
"What, are you insane?"
"How about I return in a few days? Until then, I will grant you the ability to see as an Immortal. Until we meet again. Keep your wits about you." He held his hand out as if to seal an agreement. Obama shook it, and suddenly could see as if he were one of them.
Meanwhile, in the Realm of Darkness, it is two days before the Twins twenty-one thousandth birthday.
"Father?"
"What, Kassandra?"
"Will Shade be here for the day?"
"I expect he will. I have a special gift for you and your brother, now go and practice your blood magic."
"Yes, Father."
"Being the Knight of Blood allows you to unlock more magic, now, to the fountain with you, your mother and I must again attend the Council of the Omniverse."
"Very well, Father." The Knights had left from different points of departure. The Knight of Darkness entered the Omniverse for a friend of his, as he was to become a Knight. As the Dark Knight entered the Omniverse a beam of pure white Light appeared in front of him.
"Hey, Knight." The Angel had shouted,
"Hey Arch how's the family?"
"Good, yours?"
"The twins' birthday is in two days so..."
"Anyway, what did you call me here for?"
"I have a gift for you."
"What?"
"Knightship."
"What!"
"You become a Knight, basically."
"Alright... well, when does this happen?"
"Now!" the Dark Knight shouted as he turned into the Divine Knight .
"I Knight thy Arch Knight of Justice, King of Dragons, arise Knight" a flow of Divine power transferred from the Divine and into Arch.
"Whoa."
"Enjoy the power just remember the rules, now if you don't mind I have a meeting with the president of the USA about the safety of the nation."
"Cya, man." The Dark Knight left through a portal and appeared in the white house, only to find the President cowering behind his table with the doors and windows boarded up.
"What Happened?" the Knight asked.
"Those monsters take the sight away from me PLEASE!" Obama screamed
"Fine." The Dark Knight offered him a hand, Obama reached up and grabbed it
"Thank you..."
"Do you now know why we come to this worthless planet?"
"I will order everyone who handles a firearm under military regulations to hold fire"
