[Foot steps...Foot steps]
"Where can the Blue Lotus be? It should be very close by now"
An old yogi was walking on half faded path inside the gloomy forest, holding a very old map where the signs have got fainted.
The white cloths of his has got mud all over. The rustling of thick leaves of tall trees and the creepy sounds of animals from the dark surrounding was terrifying.
But he had a very great reason to risk his life on such a mission. For years he was experimenting a mysterious soup which could grant the youth.So he was on his way to take the last ingredient called "Blue Lotus" which was extremely rare to find.
After hours of walking the yogi reached in front of a dark gate like cave.The surface was covered with lush veins and colorful wild flowers.
"This must be it"
After staring into the map, he muttered to himself. The sky was turning orange as the evening star began to shine up.
"I must hurry now"
With a lamp on one hand, he entered the place which caused the entire humanity to suffer.
The inside was pretty dark, but with the help of the lantern he could manage to observe the right way clearly. There wasn't any beasts as he had heard from the folks or read from the ancient books, but there were few spiders, scorpions and snakes.
It made him relief about his safety.But suddenly the yogi was frozen by what he saw...
It was the "Blue Lotus" standing proudly in the middle of a pond. The water was very pure and the white sparkles from the waves danced according to a rhythm. And the yogi who was stunned for a moment pinched himself to make it back to reality.
"This isn't a dream, YES! it is REAL"
He jumped into the pond without hesitation.
"now, my years of work will success and I will be able to turn into a powerful young one as before!!"
As he plucked the flower up, the floor and the ceiling began to tremble. The rhythmical waves began to shift into non-shapes. He could feel something wasn't right.
Withing seconds, he got out from the water and put the Blue Lotus into his old bag with scratches on it.
"Did I forget about the traps?"
While he was recalling his memory, the water of the pond everportated. That made him feel unstoppable fear inside his each cell. And the rocky ground appeared, flamed began to fire. It was like a Fire Ring.
The yogi moved back.
[THUD!!]
He fell on the ground. He couldn't even walk as his feet were suffering the fear. Before long, a black smoke shooted from the fire ring.
Inside the smoke, he could barely see someone's eyes, Bloody eyes or even worse...
"Who are you?"
The yogi's voice was like a whisper.He couldn't even talk well after the sight. His voice came out with broken words.
The next moment was incredibly terrifying!
[Woosh]
The spirit moved right into his mouth. It continued. The yogi was helpless. He couldn't control himself. His skin turned black slowly. Eyes became bloody, more like a demon!
With a final move the black smoke entered his body fully.
[Thud]
The yogi collapsed on the ground. For some seconds his body was motionless like a fallen dead tree. But soon the hand moved, then the head and then legs.
[Crack, Crack]
The yogi stood up but he wasn't a human anymore...
"He,he,he,ha,ha,haaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The creepy and scary voice echoed through. The bats flew away. Snakes got into holes. The yogi has fully transformed into a demon but still in his body.
"FINALLY! After 1500 years.I'm out from the hell! Now I can take my revenge back on that trash legend scum and create my own realm of demons!!"
Then he looked at the new body.
"Chi...what a weak body he has got. In this status I cant even slash a tree with my hand."
[Strks...]
The demon clenched his fist.
"So the first thing I gotta do is to take my full power and body back. For that i have to prepare my own plan"
He galanced at the fallen Blue Lotus.
"Thanks to this the yogi just opened the 100th gate of the hell and set me free..."
[Crash chklchkl]
The blue lotus became a blue liquid after he crushed it. Then he stepped out from the cave.
Only the echos left inside the stone walls...
