RISE OF THE HOLY DEMONIC GOD

Ch 4: Echoes of Destiny: Awakening [4]

On a stormy night, a boy was sprinting down a narrow road. It was Rey, hurrying towards the abandoned factory in search of the guide or notes his teacher had provided for assistance. He ran as if pursued by a wild beast, driven by his fear of the dark, imagining a sinister presence trailing him, ready to snatch him if he paused.

{Author's Note: I can relate; I feel the same when I turn off the lights while leaving a room.}

Reaching the site of his earlier mishap with Jonny, Rey searched desperately outside the factory walls, hoping to find his notes and avoid entering the ominous building. But fortune was not on his side, and his search outside proved fruitless.@@@@

He attempted to peer into the factory over the walls, but they were too high. Resolute, he approached the main entrance and tried to open it, only to find it locked from the inside, a detail that puzzled him.

Next, he sought an alternative route and discovered that the factory's rear walls were lined with thin iron wire fences, one section of which had a hole large enough for an average man to slip through.

He made his way in through the gap, cautiously heading towards the spot where Jonny had thrown the book. After a thorough search, he found nothing, leading him to suspect that a guard or someone else might have found and taken the book.

As he fell, a thud echoed around the building, rousing a sleeping thug.

"Who is there?" he called out in a sleepy yet loud voice.

Rey, however, did not respond. He quickly got to his feet, ready to flee, but his gaze was drawn to the object he had tripped over. Compelled by a curious urge as if his mind was being manipulated, he snatched it up and dashed towards the window he had entered through. As he ran, he noticed the awakened thug stirring his companion and heading his way. Luckily, Rey found the window, leaped out, and although a shard of glass cut his hand and blood dripped to the ground, he did not stop. He continued running towards his home.
