Title: Echoes of the Damned written by Swagtastic and Chelse J
"Malachi Shadowthorn?" Ethan interrupts. Alice's instincts kick in, knowing Ethan wouldn't know something like that. "Olivia? Step away from Ethan. That's not Ethan."
"Well done," its voice instills the same despair as before. Olivia, unsettled, starts questioning her theory of recognition as her determination begins to waver when her ability to identify questions her obdurate knowledge of the unknown.
There was always an alluring presence that profane captivation upon Malachi, whose aroma alone rivaled the greatest souls he had devoured in the past. Intoxicated by the faint and elegant fragrance emanating from Alice, who promulgates his instinct, which extends beyond his own imagination, being able to see through his illusions. "What have you done to Ethan?!" Alice and Olivia exclaim in unison. He chuckles, "Unto you, I commend an empirical demonstration of my power. Ethan has been gone since the moment he slipped into my encumenopolis." His laughs echo just like Ethan's but slowly shift back to his own, leaving the realization that Ethan's presence has been absent ever since they were separated from him.
In the midst of the surreal and foreboding scene, Alice and Olivia confront the enigmatic being claiming to be Malachi Shadowthorn, a powerful demon. The air is heavy with tension as the truth slowly unravels before them.
Alice, driven by her instincts, senses that something is amiss with Ethan. Filled with concern and determination, she urges Olivia to step away from him, her voice laced with both worry and resolve. Olivia, initially steadfast in her beliefs, begins to question her own certainty as doubt starts to creep in, challenging her understanding of the unknown.
Malachi, a captivating yet malevolent presence, is intrigued by Alice's presence and the subtle fragrance she emits. He realizes that Alice possesses a unique insight that allows her to see through his illusions, a talent that surpasses his own cunning.
Together, Alice and Olivia demand answers, their voices united in their concern for Ethan's well-being. In response, Malachi chuckles, relishing the opportunity to display his power. He reveals the unsettling truth that Ethan had been taken from them the moment he fell through the floor's opening. Ethan has been trapped and unconscious all this time, unbeknownst to the girls.
As the echoes of Malachi's laughter fade, the weight of reality descends upon Alice and Olivia. They grapple with the profound realization that Ethan has been absent all along, held captive by a formidable and malevolent demon. The gravity of the situation deepens, leaving Alice and Olivia to confront the unsettling knowledge that their friend is in the clutches of a powerful adversary.
With the revelation that Ethan has been trapped by the powerful demon Malachi Shadowthorn, Alice and Olivia feel a surge of determination mixed with a creeping sense of fear. They exchange a solemn glance, silently affirming their commitment to rescuing their friend from the clutches of darkness.
Malachi, reveling in their anguish, taunts the two friends, his voice dripping with malevolence. He offers them a twisted bargain, tempting them with the promise of Ethan's release in exchange for their own souls. But Alice and Olivia stand firm, their love for Ethan and their unbreakable bond shielding them from the allure of such a deal.
Driven by their unwavering friendship, Alice and Olivia begin to strategize. They recognize that facing a powerful demon like Malachi requires more than just their determination; it calls for cunning and resourcefulness. They search their surroundings for any advantage, seeking a way to weaken Malachi's hold and save Ethan.
Gabriel Cross traverses through the halls, unfazed by any structural deformity or wall-bending animosities. He entrusts his faith in God and his holy book, which rests upon his forearm, to combat this demonic intelligence. The hallways spiral into the distance, blackening the deeper he peers, but he proceeds forward. Though the ominous presence remains, the shadow flees upon his approach, leaving amorphously distorted panes in his wake. He then comes across a room—non-extraordinary, but with a distinct weirdness oozing a warm breeze from its crevice. A voice from an atomic breath vibrates in a low frequency. Lightning provides the only source of light, offering momentary glimpses of the doorframe. On the other end, Ethan lies motionless.
The curious gaze of Olivia surveys the room, trying to catch a glimpse of hope in the now concentric...
