Chapter Five

Kristof opened the door to the large stone building, Katherine and Frederick right behind him.  As they walked through the first hallway, the walls were lit up by small light blue stones, which seemed to make the very air colder, a very thin layer of frost growing around them.

          "I can't believe they just shot him!", Frederick said, still upset.  "This is an important turn of events, and he could help us a lot, if everyone here didn't try and kill him.  I don't trust him either, but still, this is a great opportunity!!!  Lucky for us, his human formed skeleton is only a little softer than steel, and he regenerates at a constant speed."

          They reached the end of the hallway, where there was a large metal door, which had sharp claws of frost crawling out of it.  Kristof banged on it, keeping his other hand on the handle of his sword.

          "Who is it?", a someone asked through the door.

          "Kristof, Katherine, and Frederick.  We're hear to see the surprise guest."

          The man inside opened the door to let them in, another man by him aiming a gun at the "prisoner".  Sitting on the floor unconscious, he shivered just a little bit at the flat, light blue glowing crystal on the ceiling, which was sending cold all through the room, and creating trails of frost everywhere.  He had a good sized hole on the top of his head, which looked like it would kill him.

          Frederick frowned, kneeling down to inspect the wound.  "Come on guys, this guy can't regenerate with all this cold.  If he can't regenerate, then we won't be able to talk to him that well.  We need to get him outside in the warm weather, right now."

          One of the men picked the demon-angel up, none to gently, and they all walked down another hallway, and then up some stairs, which led to the top of the building.  The sun beat down on everyone, and soon, the guy started to wake up.  His fingers twitched a little, and he mumbled.

          All of the sudden, be his head shot up, and he starred around at everyone, as the hole on his head began to glow a dull red, and then a bright orange, and a trail of smoke started coming out, as it began to heal.  "Uh......  Hello."  No one said a thing.  "Okay, so...  You're the people I met in that church place right?"

          Kristof nodded.  "Yep, and then you killed us.  Good job."

          He looked startled.  "I killed you?!?!  I only pushed you out of the way so I could run away.  You were gonna decapitate me!"

          Did we overreact?  He is only part demon.  But We've already got a demon problem, so I definitely did the right thing.  "Okay, so you obviously have no idea of what's going on.  After you tell us your name, I think we should explain some stuff to you."

          "John,"  He said.  "My name is John.  Or Johnathan, whatever you prefer."

          "Last name?"

          He shook his head.  "No last name.  Just John."  He looked around again.  "So...  Why did you call me a demon?  I mean, there's obviously something weird going on.  Seriously, I just survived a shotgun bullet going into my head!"

          Frederick stepped forward.  "I think I could answer your questions, if you answer me a few questions.  Did you happen to wake up with any visions of places and things?"

          John nodded.  "Ya.  Places like New York with all of the skyscrapers, and all those seven billion people."

          Frederick thought for a few seconds.  "Okay, so I'm just going to say this all at once...  All those memories of those people and places aren't real, and never were."

          John looked at him.  "Okay...  Could you add onto that so I understand more?"

          "Okay.  I think I know where to start.  First off, you're in a place called the hub.  Picture a flat plain, or ocean.  Pretty much, that ocean is made up of an infinite number of floating continents and islands.  Right now, we're on one of those continents.  Now, there aren't just people out there.  Do you understand that?  There's an infinite amount of space for who knows what to evolve and take over."

          John look startled.  So we're all just flying around on a big island?  That's scary...  So how's there a Sun then, and why don't the other continents just block it out?"

          "With all these floating islands rushing by, stars are pulled along with them.  So, we've got a Sun orbiting around us.  Also, we're on the top layer of this place, which is where you can get a good look at stars and moons that are caught here."

          "So......  There was never a planet Earth, or anything like that?"

          "Nope.  Sorry to say guy, but your whole life was literally all just a dream."

          "Okay...  So what are demons and angels here.  And why was I asleep if I was a demon.  Wouldn't I be murdering everyone or something instead, and wouldn't I be evil?"

          "Okay,"  Frederick began.  "Picture a sort of other view of the world, an alternate reality of sorts.  Demons and angels, are both from places like that.  They usually move because wherever they used to live became to dangerous.  So, both angels, also called ethereals, and demons, really hate each other's guts, so they've been fighting for a few hundred thousand years.  Picture angels as a lot of electricity and light, inside of a hard suit of armor.  Demons usually look like really big creepy lizards, sometimes with horns, and they tend to regenerate pretty fast, breath fire, and have this effect to where they kill nearby plant life, and make the whole area a little darker."

          John shivered a little.  "So you're sure I'm a demon?"

          Frederick was a little embarrassed at that.  "Well, we might have overreacted at that.  Your part demon, part ethereal."  John gave him a questioning look.  "So, again, with the angel vs demons war thing.  Both sides saw that the other side had it's own strengths that their own side didn't have.  So, they "manufactured" a few thousand demon angel hybrids.  Later on though, they tended to make their own side, or they ran off, so they became illegal in a way, and most were destroyed, although there are rumors there are other ones out there, building up their own armies.  So ya, that's what you are."

          John starred for a little bit.  "I might have been attacked by a demon last night."  This got everyone's attention.  "He scratched me in the arm but it healed.  I ended up getting away when this fire came bursting out of my hand, right in his face."  He looked at his arm.  "So...  What's with the blue crystals?  Or the green crystals for that matter?  And the red fire."

          "Demons hate the cold, so we got some ice gems.  They create cold, so we like putting them on the walls to help keep that demon away.  He still gets in though.  The green crystals can "control" solid matter.  Hence Katherine here having gauntlets with them.  The fire is read because of the demon.  He creates this gas of sorts that burns red."

          John grinned.  "I must be the weirdest thing that's happened hear in a while."

          "Not the only weirdest," Kristof said.  "We found a golum a few weeks ago."

          "Okay," John said.  One last question, and then I need to process all this.  You said I killed you guys.  So how are you all here?"

          Kristof gestured to a pure white stone each of the three wore on a necklace.  These stones can bring us back with all of our belongings in the place that we've made them do so.  And don't even try stealing one, because they only work on the one person forever."

          John grinned again.  "Not gonna give me one of those things any time soon are you?"

          "Nope."

          "Fair enough."
