Seal of Light - Enlightened

Chapter 35: Epilogue

Few days after the last gathering of the new Carriers.

Back at the Fang Temple, Jimmy was alone inside his room, as usual. His older brother Sieg went out

with Navi'Sai and Mat Adam to investigate about a demon sighting in a remote urban place.

The blank silence of the night was all over the room as Jimmy tried to find his sleep.

But something is bothering his mind. Fear started to crawl in his veins.

He tried to cover his face with his blanket. With his eyes closed, his spirit senses went wild.

"Jimmy"

Jimmy took hold of his breath with the blanket still covering his whole body as he heard a whispering

sound of his name.

He slightly peeked.

The dimmed room seems to look darker as he peeks longer.

"Why do you fear young Jimmy Fang?"

Just before Jimmy reacted to the whispering voice he just heard, he saw a darker image version of him

floating in the air opposite to his body, it was like looking in the mirror, but the eyes of this person

opposite to him was all black with no sign of any light reflecting from it. He has this pale and dry skin

and his teeth were like fangs ready to devour him any moment.

Jimmy's body shivered. Tears fell from his eyes in fear. He felt helpless, he wasn't sure if his seal can

protect him at the moment, or would his seal would even light up to comfort him and get this bad thing

happening away. He closed his eyes, and took another deep breath.

"Hiding doesn't change a thing Jimmy Fang."

Jimmy opened his eyes, his dark image replica took hold of his face, he tried to push it away but it was

too strong for his to remove it.

"Listen to me Jimmy, I'm not here to kill you, nor to hurt you. I came here to offer you something."

Jimmy was still resisting but as the dark entity pressed his face tighter, his sight begins to fade to black.

The next thing Jimmy knew was he was already standing on this huge open space, it was like a dark

misty grass land. The air density was very familiar to him.

"This is... the Crescent Island?"

"No, this isn't... this is a different astral dimension... this place is called Dryadland."

"Dryadland?"

"Yes, the Crescent Island has been cleansed by your fellow Carrier, Mat Adam, it would be difficult for

us demon to move there, it would be like living in pain there."

"You are a demon you say? State your name demon."

"You sound like you are going to perform an exorcism, what would you do if you knew my name, young

Jimmy Fang?"

"If this is the astral world then..." Jimmy's seal lit up, in an instant, a burst of light blasted from his

outstretched open palms, burning the demon into half.

The demon's body was like a melting candle continuously melting down to the ground.

Jimmy was still in an outstretched position when the demon suddenly formed back into his physical

form rising up from the ground like molten lava. It shackled Jimmy's arms leaving him helpless again.

"The problem with you Jimmy is you don't listen, you react but you don't analyze."

For the second time, Jimmy was struggling again to be free.

A monstrous treefolk rose up from the ground and slammed it's hammered fist to Jimmy.

Jimmy stumbled to the ground, he saw the treefolk raising his arms once again, preparing for another

pounding.

Jimmy's seal lit up once again and made this quick charged blast to stop the treefolk.

The treefolk's attacking arm burst into pieces, but his other arm quickly made a backfist hitting Jimmy

once again.

The treefolk grew out some stem from his broken arm, extending quickly and rebuild a new arm.

"What? How could it be?" Jimmy said while jumping again as the treefolk made another attack.

"You see Jimmy, this old fellow seems to be indestructible. How about if I show you what you can do if I

lend you my powers." The demon mocked.

Jimmy rolled once again to avoid the treefolk's attack but a second quick smash caught him, Jimmy

raised his crossed arms just in time to block the attack.

"Come on Jimmy, just show me any sign of approval." The demon mocked once again. "You are

already far stronger than your brother Sieg, or that Mat Adam, or that master Navi'Sai, you just don't

know how you use your power, but with my help, it would be doubled you can singlehandedly defeat an

archangel. You can protect anyone, everyone, think Jimmy, think."

The treefolk was still pressing Jimmy who was still covering his head with his arms.

"S-state your name first demon, then I will decide."

"My name is Tenebris."

"OK, Tenebris, lend me.."

Just before Jimmy finished his thought, Tenebris vanished and a new seal was revealed on Jimmy left Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

arm.

It was a new seal. The 6th seal. The demon's seal.

Jimmy took hold of the treefolk's arms. The treefolk screamed in pain as this black veins crawled up

from Jimmy's hands to his. The treefolk was pulverized like a grinded coal.

"That's it Jimmy, that was just a fragment of your new power."
