Chronicles Of Taranaya

Leor in the memory was sleeping soundly after long classes of political history and military strategies. He was studying all of this in order to get a high positioned Government job in either parliament or the Military to change the whole situation of his family. Thankfully he did not need to earn money yet because of his brother and sister who worked day and night for his studies. His brother worked in a factory as a manager now and Clara as an baker in the nearby bakery, both were completely exhausted from their jobs today as well so today James’ idea to spend some money on drinks and food was something he supported wholeheartedly and cooked Roasted beef, mutton stew, with some mashed potatoes and baked kidney beans as an appetiser. He was greatly satisfied with his cooking today and it also seems like both his siblings enjoyed it very much too, But maybe what we enjoyed more was sitting together, talking, eating and joking together, ofcourse drinking competition with James was fun too.

Leor’s expression right now would be full of satisfaction and comfort while reminiscing about today's event half sleeping.

Suddenly someone touched him gently, maybe trying to wake him up,’Is it Clara, Is it morning already?oh God, I didn’t sleep properly a second the entire night.’ thought Leor with some laziness but now was forced to open his eyes.

What he saw was that it was James who should definitely be more drunk than him since he couldn’t handle alcohol as well as him. But he looked sober.

‘Did something bad happen’ because he could see from the curtains that it was still night and James was acting weird.

“What’s wrong James” asked Leor cautiously

“What’s happening to you Leor” said James in a worried tone while pointing his finger at Leor’s leg.

Looking at where James pointed Leor was freaked out from what he saw. He saw that his feet then slowly his leg and his body parts were turning into ugly vermin like cockroaches, Beatles, flies and mosquitoes. He could feel his skin slowly turning into insects while tearing his flesh and bones. And this process was extremely slow and Leor could feel every bit of his flesh turning in vermin.

Leor was screaming fanatically, and had blood pouring out of his eyes. After a few minutes of this Leor’s whole body had turned into various insects and he was yelling “who are you?” or sometimes cursing James crazily in an inaudible tone.

After a few more seconds of crying his whole body had turned into insects and those insects were obediently surrounding James like waiting for his command.

Then James started staring at those insects like before he was staring at Clara before burying her and he continuously stared at those insects for 10 minutes.

"From the depths where shadows fall, I summon fire to cleanse it all. By violet flame and midnight's cry, Let wicked souls now burn and die. Abyssal power, heed my call, Purge the evil, cleanse them all!" chanted James in a divine tone and a dark purple flame appeared in his hand.

“Leor you were a good brother” said James in a nonchalant tone

"May you be free from suffering, and may you find peace." prayed James slightly smiling and then the dark purple flame spread all around from his hand and covered every little corner of the room even James himself.

After a few seconds flame returned back in james’ hand, while everything in the room was the same as before but all the bugs, some under bed, some inside lamp, some crawling on bed sheets and Leor’s clothes and some on floor had all vanished like they never even existed.

“Is this my fate?” Someone watching this scene wasn’t as calm as James.

“Calm down, This has not happened yet” intervened Cyrus slightly panicking and worried himself.

At this moment Leor’s eyes shut open and ended the scene he was seeing before. His mind was currently a mess.

“Huh it’s morning already” Leor said somewhat perplexed.
