Inside the Scubi Castle’s underground Torture Chamber…

The torture chamber is filled with nothing but darkness. Only a single candle is burning on the top of a wooden table and blood marks are covering the floor.

*Whip*

*Spit*

“Speak… What’s your name ?” An Incubus asked as he looked at the creature who was hanging by the metallic chains.

This creature looked like a human, Except he had no hairs on his body, his whole skin is pure white and eyes are darker than the deepest part of Abyss. He neither had any reproductive organs nor did he have a nose.

The Incubus is the Royal Torturer Of the Scubi Kingdom and he is beating the ** out of this creature for the past 13 days but he hasn’t spoken anything.

*Knock-Knock*

Suddenly, A knock was heard on the door. The Incubus placed his whip down and went to the door.

As soon as he opened the door, He saw the Army general standing on the gate with two of his soldiers.

“S-Sir !?” The Incubus spoke as he immediately went down on his knees to show his respect.

“Did he speak anything ?” The general asked as he entered inside the Room.

“N-No, Sir. I am beating him for the past 13 days but he hasn’t spoken a single thing. Except one word… That he spoke yesterday.” The Incubus spoke with a hesitated voice.

“What did he say ?” The general asked with a serious expression.

“He said-” Before the Incubus could’ve completed his sentence, The creature spoke up.

“S-Soul.” The Creature’s voice was creepy and Dreadful.

“Y-Yes… That’s the word he said sir.” The Incubus spoke with a serious expression.

“Hmm…. What do you mean by soul ?” The general asked as he looked at the creature with a serious expression.

The creature didn’t reply anything and kept his mouth shut.

“Give me the whip…” The general spoke as he looked at the torturer.

“Here, Sir.” The torturer immediately gave the whip to the general.

*Slash*

The General immediately whipped the creature with all his strength and gave him a big scar on his chest.

But, the creature didn’t speak anything and continued to look at the ground.

“Hmm…? Even though I hit him so hard, he didn’t react…” The general spoke with a smile as he looked at the wound on his chest and noticed that black coloured blood is coming out of his chest.

“Hmm…? What is this ? Your other body parts are bleeding out purple but your chest is bleeding black.

Why is this happening ?” The General asked as he grabbed the creature by it’s neck.

“Dar-Dark…” The creature started speaking something with a low voice.

“What ? I can’t hear you ?” The general asked with a confused expression.

“Darkness is here….” The creature spoke as he pointed towards the burning Candle.

The general immediately looked around and noticed that the candle is about to blow out.

“What do you mean ?” General asked with a confused expression.

*Swish*

Suddenly, The candle went out and darkness covered the whole room.

“What happened ?” The general shouted.

“I-I will light another Candle immediately, Sir.” The torturer spoke as he took the matchbox and pulled out a candle from the bag.

But, As soon as he lit the match… He saw the creature standing right in front of his face, looking at him with a monstrous smile.

His big fangs were dripping with saliva and his long tongue was hanging out of his mouth.

“Woah…” Suddenly, The torturer got startled and fell down to the floor.

“Hehehe….” A creepy laughing sound resounded inside the room.

“The creature is on the loose… Everyone run out of the room.” The general shouted but no reply came from his surroundings.

“Hello ? Can you hear me, Soldiers ?” The general asked with a serious expression as he immediately covered his body in a protective layer.

“Hehe… You have the strongest soul here.” The creature’s voice came from the north side.

*Swish*

The general immediately whipped in the dark, but it Missed.

“You are fast… General.” The creature spoke but this time his voice came from the south side.

*Swish*

The whip missed it’s mark once again.

“How are you moving so fast ?” The general asked with a serious expression.

“I can’t wait to eat your soul… Hehehehe.” The creature spoke up.

“What kind of Demon are you ?” The general asked.

“Not a demon, General. I am Something else… Something you haven’t seen. Something your kind isn’t ready to handle.

My people will be your worst Nightmare. We feed on souls, Your evil Souls give us powers. It’s going to be full Moons in the next 15 days and that’s when we will come out and claim this kingdom as ours.

Once we get a stronghold, we will make more of us and take over this whole world. Hehehe… Surrender your soul to me general and I will make you my strongest minion.” The creature spoke.

“Well, You are going to have a really hard time in taking my soul out of my damn body.” The general spoke as he immediately picked up the match from the ground and lit it up.

Suddenly, A big snake made out of dark flames covered the general’s whole body and lightened up the whole room.

As soon as the general looked around, he noticed that the soldiers were all lying on the floor with the torturer.

All of their bodies were slowly turning white like the creature.

“See… They are coming to their right form now.” Suddenly, The creature’s voice came from the top left corner of the room.

General immediately looked at the top left corner and noticed the creature hanging upside down with one of his leg clenching to the roof.

His body is fully covered in the soldier’s blood and the previous wounds on his body are now perfectly healed.

“You heal ?” The general asked.

“General, I am immortal. No one can kill me… I am strong and I am fast.” The creature spoke as he turned into a black mist and disappeared from his location.

“What the -”

“I can be anywhere I want.” The creature spoke as from the bottom right corner this time.

The general immediately looked at the creature and noticed that he is now licking his long claws.

“We can reproduce more of our kind by just biting you. If I bit you anywhere on your body and ate your soul out… You will become just like me.

Just like these guys are transforming. You should kill them fast, The new transformers are really dangerous and I don’t think you want to become their dinner right ?

But, They Don’t know everything after transforming. Like disappearing and re-appearing from one place to another place. It’s a shame.” The creature spoke with a wide smile.

“Why are you telling me all this ?” The general asked with a confused expression.

“Hehehe… So, that you can tell this to your leader. You see… The souls that suffers before death tastes way too good.

I want you to go out and tell everything to your ruler of what I have told you and tell her to stop us if she can, hehehe.” The creature spoke as he turned into a dark mist once again and re-appeared in front of the general.

“Your defences won’t work on me, I am not a Demon.” The Creature spoke as he slowly touched the General’s chest even though he had dark flames and body enforcements around his body.

“We will Burst out in uncontrollable numbers out of that forest and You won’t be able to protect yourself.

No one will be spared, No kids, No Women or Elders. We will take everyone’s soul and turn you into us. No matter what you do… You can’t stop us.

We are different from what you are… We are the future.” The creature spoke as he disappeared from the room.

*Crack*

*Crack*

…

General then looked down and noticed that the soldiers are now completely looking like that creature.

He immediately summoned his Sword and stabbed their heads with the sword before they could’ve done anything.

But, He kept one alive and chained him to the chairs tightly.

“General…” The tied creature, spoke up.

“Hmm…?” The general looked at him with a serious expression.

“Your wife must be waiting for you… Hehehe.” He spoke with a big smile on his face.

Shivers went down his spine and the general immediately exited the room.

…

The Royal Hall, Queen’s Room…

Marlena is getting ready in order to go to the Royal Court.

*Knock-Knock*

Suddenly, A knock was heard on the door.

“Come in.” She ordered.

*Click*

As soon as the gates opened up… The general entered inside the room with his right hand completely chewed off and blood flowing down like crazy.

“Woah… General are you alright ?” Marlena asked with a serious expression.

“My Queen, They are coming.” The general spoke as he fell down to the ground.

*Thud*

“What ? Who are coming ?” Marlena asked with a worried expression.

“The Nightmarrows….”
