Chapter 33: The Old Horns

Blue: Oh! Hey Adam!

Adam: Hey, uhh so....apparently we need to talk about something serious

Blue: I know right? There is an Area 52!

Adam: It's not that

Blue: What?!

Evelyn: What is it?

Ingrid: You're going to have to join us in the Living Room

Blue and Evelyn look at each other before getting up and walking into the Living Room. All five of them sat down on the sofas present to them, Marina looked conflicted and didn't know what to say.

Blue: Mother? A-Are you okay?

Evelyn: You seem stressed

Marina: I am stressed, my children. Because the world is going to have deal with something dangerous

Adam: My Mother mentioned it as well, what is it?

Ingrid:.....The Old Horns

Blue: Zee what now?

Marina: The Old Horns. Ancient structures that hold Demons, locked away until they somehow break out.

Blue: What?!

Adam: What do we do about them?!

Ingrid: You three will leave it alone, because only the professionals will observe and decide what happens

Adam: What if they break out?

Marina: It depends, some can break out, but others need something specific

Evelyn: This is fucking mad, how many more are there?

Marina: Language. Oh and counting this one? There are two more. One is in Russia, and the other is somewhere in Europe, closer to the Eastern side. We had a talk with other Outcasts who deal with Global Threats.

Ingrid: And that's why I'm calling my brother over, so that he can provide some help

Adam: Uncle Darren?

Ingrid: We will need his expertise

Blue: Oh, we haven't see him since.....uhh

Evelyn: I think it was a week before you and Adam went to Nevermore

Blue: Yeah, wow. Wait, I need to know something

Marina: What is it?

Blue: How did these Demons get locked up in the first place?

Adam: Yeah, why are they locked up?

Marina: For many reasons. They might be Demons born like that, they choose to hibernate for a long period of time. Or they were locked up by someone of a greater power.

Blue: Is there someone greater than the Demon Race?

Marina:.....Y-Yes

Evelyn: Who is it?

Marina:....Abaddon, the Destroyer

Blue:

Adam: Abaddon? Is he important?

Marina: He is the Demon that sits above all, the strongest Outcast

Evelyn:......Oh.....okay then....

Blue: That's bad, is he still alive?

Marina: I believe so, no one can kill him

Blue: No one?

Marina: Not even your Father

Blue:......Adam, I know who I'm going to run the ones with-!

Marina proceeds to bonk her son on the head for such an idiotic statement. He makes a sound of pain and clutches the top of his head with both of his hands.

Blue: O-Ow!

Marina: Son, I would shout at you with the fury of a Thousand Suns, but I'm not surprised that you would say something like this.

Ingrid: I don't know what motivates you to say such things, that's the Destroyer you're looking to fight.

Blue: I-It was just a joke!

Adam: Was it?

Blue: It was!

Evelyn: Is this Abaddon guy locked up in one of these Old Horns?

Ingrid: It would be best if he was, but I know for a fact that he isn't.

Blue: Have you met him before, Mother?

Marina:......Once

Blue: What happened?

Marina: I'll tell you another time, you should be getting your things ready for Nevermore. When are you going back? Next week?

Evelyn: In four days, so we are fine

Adam: I've got my things ready

Blue: Same here, Evelyn? What about you?

Evelyn:.....Y-Yeeeeees?

Ingrid: [Frowns] You don't?

Evelyn: I'll be ready when the time comes, I'm sure of it. So let's talk about something else, like who are our new Headteacher will be

Blue: Oh yeah, we're going to get a new one because of the passing of Larissa Weems

Adam: Rest in Peace

Evelyn: Who do you think it will be?

Adam: Maybe a Ghost

Blue: And his name is John Cena-!

Adam: No

Blue: Duck you!
____________________

After all of that, everyone goes back to sleep as Ingrid had received news about Uncle Darren arriving tomorrow.

Ingrid and Adam came next door to the Light Residence when the next day came and waited there. And not for too long as about two hours later, a knock was heard on the door. Ingrid goes over to open it, revealing her younger brother Darren.

He was a Ghost like his Sister, naturally, and worked with a special group of Outcasts who deal with Global Threats. Darren was useful to them, as his powers as a Ghost were valuable.

He could vanish out of thin air, phase through attacks like Adam, shoot out air bullets with a special rifle he made, and posses almost anyone.

He even has a special katana like Sutakira, just a few tiers below.

Darren: Hello, Little Sister

Ingrid: Little? You do realise that I'm older than you, right?

Darren: That's not what our heights are saying. As you can see, I tower over you

Ingrid grew a tick mark on her forehead, and grabbed her "little" brothers wrist, twisting it and forcing him on his knees.

Darren: Ow ow ow! Let go! I was joking!

Ingrid releases her grip and sighs, while Darren gets up and flicks his wrist about in an attempt to dash the pain away.

Darren: Wow, that grip strength is still crazy, and so are you when I poke at you for fun

Ingrid: And you're still as annoying to this day, but it's great to see you. Come inside, the kids are here

Darren: So I've heard.

Ingrid leads Darren into Marina's house and then into her living room where the others were waiting. Darren smiles because he knew he was an inspiration to all three of them, especially Adam as his nephew wanted to be like him.

Just a bit....less carefree.

Darren: Hey hey hey! What's up kiddos?

Blue: Uncle Darren!

Evelyn: Did you beat the Fraud Allegations?

Darren: You know I did!

Adam: Cool, can you teach me some new Ghost abilities like you?

Darren: We can do it when we go to Latvia

Marina: Latvia?

Darren: I'm going to see one of the Old Horns, want to come?

Ingrid: Darren no-

The Three Kids: YES!

Ingrid: [Facepalms] Oh Good God

Marina: R-Relax, I'm sure they can see it from a distance. How long are you going to be there for, Darren?

Darren: About a few days

Marina: Then we can go and see it, does it have a team observing it?

Darren: Yep, all of that shit. I'll also get to teach Adam some new things, how about it?

Adam: I have only one ability, so yeah

Ingrid: Pack your things, kids. Uncle Darren and I will sort out the bookings, but remember, we are only there for a few days, we are coming back two days before your school year starts

Evelyn: What if we all take a flight to America? That way we don't have to force two flights in two days

Ingrid: You know what? That's okay. Darren?

Darren: Yep, that's all good.

Blue: We're going to Latvia, boys!

Adam: War Crime Time?

Blue: Yeeeeee!

Evelyn: If you get arrested, I'm not bailing you out

Blue: Don't need you, I'm just going to break out

Marina forces the three to pack their things, as they were wasting good time, and eventually everyone was ready to go after a few minutes. Darren managed to find a flight to Riga, Latvia that was taking off in two hours.

They took a taxi there and then boarded a plane that took them straight to Riga, all the way in Eastern Europe. The plane was at 11 and when they touched down onto Riga, it was 2 in the afternoon.
_______________

Blue's POV
_______________

We had just arrived in Latvia's capital Riga, and Uncle Darren told us that we had to meet up with group of werewolves. They were waiting around the corner, and they are meant to escort us to a special hotel, he seemed to know them.

When we got to this hotel, we were given access to some nice rooms.

Blue: Ayy, this is pretty good

Adam: Uncle Darren, who are these people?

Darren: Outcasts who have been placed for this outpost, there are more naturally, as we need a lot to observe these sights.

Blue: Oh cool, so they're like your work colleagues?

Darren: Essentially

Evelyn: Are we going to go see this Old Horn now?

Darren: Yes we are, I've got to hear some reports from them

Marina: Don't you want to eat first?

Blue: We can eat when we come back, I want to see this thing!

Marina: Fine, but only for a moment. These things are not good to be near for a long period of time

We left the Hotel and followed a Vampire that worked for this higher up group, we didn't need any verification because of my Mother and Uncle Darren.

Didn't know why my Mother was valid to come here, but I'm not complaining.

Whatever this thing was, it was away from the buildings and out in the plains. We had to walk through some grass and then climb up a big hill, we could see that it was blocking our view which meant that something big was behind it.

We were almost at the top, and when we did get to that point.......good lord I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Blue:

Darren: That's an Old Horn

Blue: That's an Old Horn?!

Evelyn: Why is it standing there?

Adam: Menacingly....

Darren: Cause you don't want to fuck around with these things

Ingrid: Darren......Language

Darren: Oh, my bad. So yeah, you don't want to go inside one

Blue: You can go inside it?

Darren: Yeah, but it's not the best thing to do so. It's fuck around and find out

Ingrid: Darren.......

Darren: Right, right. Me language and that, just stay away from it

Blue: Yeah, I think it is best if we do that

Adam: That's the big boy stop sign. I'm surprised we didn't see it when we were in town, that hill is doing the people a favour, I wouldn't want to see this in the morning.

There were many setups around the area, with weird machinery and people working about. They were observing the Old Horn, and I imagine it's like that with the other two.

Darren: Want to get a bit closer?

Blue: Yes!

Marina: N-Not too close Blue, Old Horns could potentially effect you negatively

Blue: Don't worry, I'll keep my distance

We were escorted to the limit line by the same Vampire, Uncle Darren explains that this line is to show how far we can get to the Old Horn.

And for good reason too, as we got a bit closer, I could feel the demonic energy coming from the Old Horn, and it was very overwhelming. But there was something from it that made me feel calm.

I'm not sure if it's because I'm a Demon, or if this is telling me the personality of this particular Demon that's locked up right now.

Yeah....it's a good thing that I actually kept my distance and didn't get closer.....but something tells me that this will effect me in the future, because I'll have to get involved somehow.

Darren: Alright, time to go back. Who wants some nice Latvian dishes?

Blue: Oh I do!

Adam: Yeah, I'm hungry
________________

Adam's POV
________________

We left the site of the Old Horn and headed back to the little town that was close to it. Uncle Darren took us to a restaurant as we were all hungry and haven't tried Latvian food before, but we didn't need to worry about the quality of food since it was nice.

But I noticed that my Uncle was watching me intently, I knew that he wanted to speak to me privately and it wasn't going to be typical Uncle things.

You know....like touch me-.

Evelyn: So Blue, when are you and Enid going to have-

Ingrid: Evelyn, don't finish that sentence -_-

Evelyn: Oh come on! They came over about a month ago, surely they must've done something!

Marina: Evelyn, that's not appropriate, and they're only 16!

Evelyn: Isn't that the legal age to do that stuff?

Adam: Yeah, in America.......I think?

Darren: Wait, Blue has a girl?! Details boy! Now!

Ingrid: We are moving from this conversation! Darren, what is the Outcast Association saying about this?

Darren: Not too much, because it just emerged not too long ago. And I'm not going to discuss it here in front of the kids, unleeeeeess-!

Ingrid: No

Darren: Aww

Evelyn: Oh come on!

Adam: Mission Failed

Blue: We'll get them next time

Eventually we were done and ready to go back to the hotel, but Uncle Darren had other plans.

Darren: You lot go ahead, I need to borrow my favourite nephew for a moment

Adam: I'm your only nephew

Darren: Yes, which means you're also the worst

Adam: The hell-?!

Ingrid: Okay but don't drag Adam into something dangerous, Darren.....I'll convert you into a spirit instead

Darren: Oooo, I do not want that to happen to me. Don't worry, we will be fine, I just want to show him something

Adam: And what's that?

Darren: You'll see

Uncle Darren takes me away and into a plains biome away from the village and away from the Old Horn......

I've been playing too much Minecraft, haven't I?

Adam: Uncle Darren, what did you want to talk about?

Darren: You've been looking at me, Adam. Something is on your mind, so tell me, what's wrong?

Adam:....Okay....I.....want to know if you can teach me some of your Ghost Techniques, so can you teach me?

Darren:.....You do?

Adam: Yes, I mentioned this before, and I mean it. So please.....teach me
