“Son of a bitch, Jayce.” I mutter as I quickly exit my car.
Thankfully, he knows his runes well enough that the demon is trapped within the pentagram. My wife always did insist that it was too early to start training him. I reach in my trunk and pull out my sword, a simple silver blade with runes engraved down the center, allowing it to harm demons.
“You caused this, now fix it!” I throw the sword towards him, and he catches it too smoothly for a six-year-old.
He quickly leaps into action as I pull a small axe out of my trunk, just in case. Jaycen chops at the ground, destroying the protective barrier that traps the demon, but also prevents any human from entering. Freed from the confining pentagram, the demon quickly doubles in size, standing nearly twelve feet tall. I can tell that Jaycen is nervous. A small boy versus a demon wider than any bodybuilder, with curved horns and claws right out of a storybook. The demon lunges, but Jayce is much faster, jumping back as the demon’s claws rake through the grass in front of him. Jaycen leaps, landing on the demons elbow while it stumbles, and quickly reaches for the head. He manages to get one hand onto the demon’s horn, and I quickly move forward with my axe gripped tightly. The demon bellows, thrashing its head to shake Jaycen loose. Surprisingly, he holds on well. The demon arches back, preparing to throw Jaycen forward. He firmly plants his feet onto the demons back, and slams his sword through the demons head. The demon roars as the sword protrudes through its mouth, wounded but not defeated.
“You missed the brain, it has to be a vital!”
Jaycen realizes his mistake, and pulls on the sword to free it. However, the demon has already begun to heal, trapping the sword. With no time to spare, I use my power to slow time and move towards the demon. It manages to buck forward, flipping Jaycen over towards me. With time slowed, I am able to lower Jaycen down softly and leap towards the demon’s head, swinging my axe towards its skull. I hear the satisfying crunch as my axe is buried into the demons skull, and time returns to normal as it crashes to the ground. I free my sword as the demon dissolves into ash.
“Why did you summon a demon?” I ask. “Whether you think you’re ready or not, you know I should be here in case something like that happens.”
“I found your journal, from when you were young. I know how you got your powers.”
