Cursed Convergence

We Pick Up 2 Days Later After The Events Of Chapter 15 Where Jason, Aria, And Jay Are On Stand By Until Their Next Mission And We See Jason Talking To His Sister Selene In Ethereal Grove.

Jason(Serious): Hey Selene.

Selene: What Is It, Jason?

Jason(Serious): On The Mission Me Aria And Mr.Jay Got Sent On As We Got Closer To The Rune In The Sky.

Jason(Serious): I Felt Malum was Taking Over And Then This Demon Hunter Who Goes By Azrael Shows Up And Fights Me For A Little Bit But After Our Fight, Malum Possessed My Body And Attacked Aria And Mr.Jay.

Selene(Curious): Seriously?

Selene: Well Those Runes Did Have Dark Energy Emitting From Them And You Did Have The Cursed Seals Active For 5mins So It Makes Sense Why It Caused Malum To Take Over.

Jason(Curious): Huh?

Selene: What?

Jason(Questioning): How Did You Know Malum Took Over Because I Had The Cursed Seals Active?

Jason(Questioning): And How Did You Know The Dark Energy From The Runes Resonated With The Cursed Seals?

Selene: Well It's The Only Logical Answer to how Malum Suddenly Took Over.

Jason: Anyway.

Jason: While Malum Possessed My Body He Attacked Aria And Mr.Jay And I Couldn't Regain Control Without Aria And Mr. Jay's Help.

Selene: Hey, There Was Nothing You Could've Done About Malum Taking Over.

Jason(Upset): That's The problem, How Am I Gonna Protect Anyone If I Can't Even control Malum's Power Without Fearing That He'll Take Over And Kill Those Precious To Me?

Jason: I Ain't Strong Enough To Do So.

Selene(Serious): Jason Your Malum's Vessel And In Case You Didn't Realize Malum Is The Legendary Demon King, A Being Of Unimaginable Power.

Selene(Serious): Of Course, His Power Would Be Damn Near Impossible To Control… That's Why You Train.

Selene(Serious): So All That Fear You Feel For Malum Taking Over Your Body, You Take That Fear And Use It As Motivation To Train Even Harder And Control His Power.

Jason: I Didn't Look At It That Way.

Selene(Serious): To Be A Sorcerer Is To Dance On The Edge, To Balance The Light And The Darkness. Secrets Are Woven Into Our Existence. Some Remain Hidden Until Our Journey Reaches Its Climax.

Jason: Damn.

Jason Then Contemplates What Selene Said As Selene Then Asks Jason A Strange Question.

Selene: Hey Jason.

Jason: Yeah?

Selene(Cryptic): If You Had The Power To Rewrite The Script And Change Your Fate Would You Do It?

Jason(Confused): What Do You Mean?

Selene: I Mean Like If You Had The Power To Change The Fact That Your Malum's Vessel And Give That Burden To Someone Else Would You Do It?

Jason Then Ponders The Question As He Then Finds His Answer.

Jason(Serious): Honestly I Don't Think I Could Do That.

Selene: Why Not?

Jason(Serious): Because It's Not In Me To Give Someone Else A Burden As Heavy As This Just To Make My Life Easier.

Jason(Serious): If Me Being Malum's Vessel Stops Anyone Else's Life From Becoming A Living Hell Then I'm Willing To Carry That Burden.

Selene: Even If It Means Your Humanity Is Slowly Fading Away?

Jason Then Stops For A Second To Think About The Question.

Jason: Yeah.

Jason Then Receives A Call From Aria Telling Him That Jay Has Called For Them To Meet With Him.

Jason: Alright I Have To Go, Mr.Jay Called For Me And Aria To Meet With Him.

Selene: Alright I Have Business To Take Care Of As Well, Love You Bro, And Stay Safe.

Jason Then Flys Away As Selene Watches While Thinking About The Answers He Gave To Her Questions She Then Picks Her Phone Up And Dials A Strange Number.

Mysterious Voice: Have You Made Your Decision Selene?

Selene: Yes.

The Scene Ends There As We Then Cut To Jason, Aria, And Jay Having A Discussion About What Azareal Said About Jason Becoming A Demon.

Jason: I Still Don't Know What Azareal Meant By Me Becoming A Demon.

Jay: That's One Of The Reasons I Called You Two Here I Think I Kinda Figured Out What He Meant By That.

Aria: Okay So What Did You Learn?

Jay: Well This Is Just A Thought But I Think Jason Turning Into A Demon Has Something To Do With Both Of Their Souls Being Encased Within One Vessel, That Vessel Being Jason.

Jay: However One Human Vessel Shouldn't Be Able To Hold Two Souls At Once With No Consequences.

Jay: So I'm Thinking That Since Malum Is Much More Powerful Than Jason And That Malum Is A Demon King Which Is A Higher Being Than Jason Who Is A Human… I Think That Malum's Demon DNA Is Corrupting Or Overwriting Jason's Human DNA And Merging With It.

Aria: Well When you put It That Way That Does Make Sense.

Jason: True… But If That's The Case With Me And Malum Then What About Aria With Her Heavenly Seals?

Aria&Jay(Confused): Huh?

Jason: Aria You Remember When You Told Us When Your Mom Died Her Soul Transferred To Your Body?

Aria: Yeah So?

Jason: Well Just Like How Me And Malum's Soul Are In One Vessel Being My Body The Same Thing Could Be Said For Aria Since Her Moms Soul Is Inside Of Aria's Body.

Aria: Your Right Now That I Think About It.

Jay: Well Since Aria's Mom Was A Human I Don't Think That A Human Soul Could Corrupt Another Soul Which Is Already Human.

Jason: Oh.

Jay: So I Think We Should Seek Out Azareal And Try To Get More Info About Jason's Transformation Into A Demon And About This Dark Conspiracy.

The Trio Then Waits Till Dawn To Go To A Disclosed Location Outside The City To Try And Get Azareals Attention.

Jason: If are going To Get Azareal's Attention Why Not Just Go Anywhere Demons Are Located Given That He's A Demon Hunter?

Jay: Because We Don't Need the Extra Attention From Demons And Here All You Have To Do Is Activate Your Cursed Seals And The Chaos Energy emitting From The Cursed Seals Should Draw Azareal To Us.

Aria: Won't That Also draw in Demons Since They All Possess Chaos Energy?

Jay: That's Where You Come In Aria Use Your Heavenly Seals And With Divine Energy Put Up A Veil Infused With Divine Energy Because Lesser Demons Are Weak To Divine Energy.

Aria Then Activates Her Heavenly Seals And Releases Divine Energy To Create A Veil And When She Activates Her Heavenly Seals Jason's Cursed Seals Respond In Resonance To Aria's Heavenly Seals Which Activates Jason's Cursed Seals, Jason Then Releases Chaos Energy Into The Sky The Trio Awaits Azareal's Arrival.

30mins Later Azareal Then Arrives Ready For A Fight.

Azareal(Menacingly): It Appears You Have A Death Wish Child.

Jay: Actually are not Here To Fight We Need Info.

Azareal(Curious): And What Info Do You Need From Me That You Couldn't Get Yourself?

Jay: 2 Days Ago You Said Something About Jason's Soul Transforming Into A Full Demon.

Jay(Curious): How Is Jason's Soul Transforming Into A Demon?

Azareal: You Sorcerers Sealed Malum Inside Of This Vessel And You Didn't Even Know About This?

Azareal: Well Fine I'll Tell You.

Azareal: When Malum Was Sealed Inside Of The Vessel The Corruption Process Began There.

Azareal: The Demon DNA That Resides In Malum Merges With Jason's Human DNA Since Their Souls Are Linked/Bound To Each Other And The More Powerful Soul Being Malum Is Able to Overwrite Jason's Human DNA Because Demons Are Higher Beings And Are Above Humans.

Jay: So I Was Right.

Aria: And Another Question If Your A Demon Hunter Why Not Work With Us To Defeat These Demons?

Azreal: That's Because I Have No Interest In Aligning Myself With Sorcerers As Their Ways Don't Work.

Jason: But Your Trying To Kill Me And Instead Of Doing That Why Not Help Me Learn To Control Malum's Power.

Azreal(Annoyed): Are You Dumb? A Child Like You Could Never Master Such Immense Power Let Alone Stop Malum From Taking Control Of Your Body.

Jason: But You Seem To Know Just As Much About Demons Than I Do And Your A Powerful Sorcerer Yourself So I Don't See Why Not?

Azreal: You Sorcerers Are Wasting My Time I'm Leaving.

Azreal Then Vanishes Via Portal As The Group Then Decide To Head Back To The Sorcerer Council Chamber.

As The Group Head Back To The City We Cut The Sorcerer Council Chamber Where We See The Grand Elder And Other High Ranking Sorcerers Discussing Jason And Him Being Malum's Vessel.

Grand Elder: So We All Know About How Jason Is Slowly Transforming Into A Demon.

Sorcerer #1: And If Jason's Transformation Into A Demon Is Complete.

Sorcerer #2: Then Malum Will Be Incarnated In Jason's Body Since Jason At That Point Will Have No Soul Blocking Malum's Soul From Taking Over.

Sorceress: Jason Poses As A Threat To All The Realms.

Grand Elder: True However Our Main Priority Is To Deal With The Main Threats Being The Demons And Azreal As Well As This Demon Organization.

Sorceress #2: What Do You Suggest We Do About Jason After That Grand Elder?

Grand Elder(Serious): We Have No Choice We Can't Let Malum Be Fully Revived So-

Grand Elder(Serious): We Will Have To Kill Jason.

Grand Elder: I Will Send Out The Order For His Execution After The Main Threats Have Been Dealt With.

The Sorcerer Council Meeting Is Then Over As We Then Cut To Behind One Of The Walls Where We See Selene Who Overheard The Meeting And Was Concealing Her Presence By Hiding Her Soul Energy.

She Is Then Met By A Figure Covered In Bandages And A Black And Red Robe.

Mysterious Voice(Menacing): Have You Made Your Decision Selene?

Selene(Serious): Yes.
