Getting to the secret lab they saw charts on Theodore's recent research and articles on transhumanism, there were body parts of dead animals in jars preserved by strange smelling chemicals, also was there a chemical preserved corpse of a lamb in a jar.
"sure speaks well of a principal " said Gustavo who brought out a camera and began to take pictures of the lab and it's properties
"this will fetch us money and freedom as soon as we blackmail him "
"sure " Craig agreed "he's not stupid not to realise how these evidence will ruin his career. I can only imagine the look on his face when he finds out his dirty little secret has been opened."
"if he doesn't comply to our offer, he'll have lot to loose while we will have more to gain. Let this get to the CNN, the whole Texas will be on fire " Gustavo continued taking pictures.
Craig Willers and Gustavo Mendez are both sixth grade students a year above Spock, they were both delinquents before enrolled in this special institution in Texas. Craig comes from a wealthy home but when he raped one of the younger maid working in the the mansion and sold his stepfather's precious Toyota Cresta to buy crack , he found himself in St Titus. Gustavo was raised up by a latina single mother in Los Angeles so he was exposed to the criminal world and wanted to be part of the notorious MS-13 gang. Gustavo and his buddies robbed a stall and beat up the clerk who was Islam, well they were caught by the LAPD and Gustavo was sentenced by court order to serve penitentiary at St Titus in Texas.
Spock was at the institution because of his poor leaning skills and also because his parents were ashamed of his appearance,though he was fifteen Spock resembled a twelve year old boy, he had large feet that he had to walk barefooted and finally his cat ears. Spock had been a subject of ridicule and bullying in past years, though it's still a mystery why he was named after a Star Trek character. Craig and Gustavo were one of the few persons who accepted him because of his odd look and willingness to please anyone.

Chapter 14: Hellworm
Remember our new friend Spock? He stays at St Titus Home For Socially Deprived Lads, under the regime of Father Theodore. Our host father Theodore Grante was once a leading biologist under the flag of the Vatican, he served the Pope John Paul II but after his demise the bishops of St Peters Square saw Grantes interest in Darwin's works on higher species and evolution as disturbing and detrimental to the Roman Catholic Church. So he was sent to the United States to manage an institution, that didn't stop his interest from fading.
Recently he had been conducting experiments on a creature he bought from an undisclosed black market called an Hellworm, though he was yet to come out with an hypothesis, Theodore believed that the creature held uncanny abilities humanity was yet to know. As it is said "a man forsaken by God tends to strike a deal with the devil ".

"hey! be quiet! " someone whispered in the dark. Three figures snuck tip toe into the basement at the middle of the night.
"what are we looking for? there's no demon here " another voice said.
the first voice whispered again "I wasn't cracking jokes when I said the Saint of hell keeps a demon pet. "
"and if we see the demon, do we take a selfie with it? " a familiar voice asked
"no! " the first two voices said in unison
"so what do we do? " asked the person
"Spock we kill it like heroes on TV "
Spock scratched his head, he had been convinced by his two friends Craig and Gustavo to go on "demon hunting ". But this was not his imagination of such, they had gone through the basement to find the Hellworm the fabled demon.
Behold the Hellworm which crawled around it's jar prison, what hidden terror could this creature hold?

Barnabas was a creature known as s clockworker, they resembled humans with donkey hooves and they had an uncanny ability to create and repair gadgets. Barnabas had a workshop where he sold and repaired magic weapons known as bang-riffles.
The world had changed and everything was going modernized, so were the methods of performing magic art. Bang-riffles were magic guns through which attacking magic were released at the will of the user, just like bullets these weapons were refilled with stardust according to the sort of magic used. This art was known as gun magic.
There where posters of swim suit models posted around the workshop, and the most amazing part of the place were the gremlins, there were hundreds of them caged around and running on wheels their kinetic energy was powered into providing electricity for the place. Barnabas started a rusty country music from the fixed radio, he spat away the tobacco he was chewing and noticed Nancy for the first time.
"My my you've gotten yourself a fine damsel haven't you Doug?" he said as he took off his hat and greeted by taking a gentleman bow "pardon my misconduct, but you're a beautiful miss from the human lands. May I be honoured to know your name? "
Nancy blushed, it was awkward and funny that no human male had ever been bold enough to woo her as the clockworker had done. She was about to say her name when Doug broke in
"her name's is Nancy and she's off limits...and virgin" he said as he inspected the guns.
"whoo hoo ! I like virgins, especially young and pretty ones with long hair and big titties" Barnabas was already peering at Nancy's breasts while twisting his moustache, she began to blush again.
"pfft, I thought you loved blonde Texan strippers " Doug sarcastically commented. while checking the guns.
"that was in 1892, now the streets of America is crawling with feminists" Barnabas said
"OK let me try this one " Doug selected a Bang-riffle, it was in the form of a shotgun like the one he had used to battle the mimic-mantis. He loaded it, aimed and fired
"BOOM!! " the force that came out sent him flying backwards, instead of a bullet a glowing beam of energy shot out.
" Doug are you alright?! " Nancy asked in concern
"yeah"he stood up then he looked at the gun smiling "how much is this one?"
Barnabas wore his cowboy hat again "that one's called the Armageddon, it fires over 30watts of energy. Don't go on a battle with it if you can't use it... well but I'll give it to you at 50 karats of gold "
"what of thirty? "
"fifty"
"thirty five ?"
"fifty "
"thirty six and a half?
"OK I'll give you at forty... on one condition,you help me with something "
Doug stretched his tail as he listened to Barnabas "bring it "
"Rumors have it that the Yhwaks are plotting to take over Texas because humans have polluted and depleted their lands"
"so how does human affair affect us?" Doug asked.
"that's the boring part goblin, the Yhwaks have a large reserve of stardust hidden in their territory at Wilsonville county, very powerful and plan to use it . I want you to get for me"
The goblin scratch his head "so you want me to infiltrate into the Yhwak territory and steal an ancient stardust energy for you to forge some powerful weapon right? "
"do as I say fourteen days and I'll you give you the Armageddon plus reveal some of the secret techniques of gun magic for free. We have a deal? " The clockworker stretch his arm forward and Doug shook his hand.
"Doesn't sound bad "
Nancy watched as both made an agreement, she didn't know whether to stop or encourage Doug on this mission, but one thing was certain. The Yhwaks were not an easy force.
Barnabas handed Doug a bang-riffle similar to Armageddon for his mission "this is Shooting Star 11.5, also lethal but a little rusty in the edge.Just come back alive and keep the lovely damsel safe"
They left the workshop and crossed the limbo back to the real world.

Chapter 13: Gun Magic
After days in the city of Odessa, Texas Doug and Nancy checked out their seedy hotel and continued their journey.
They reached Daveport, a town full of oil wells and refineries... unlike the previous town where the source of gold was from a dragon. "You've not yet told me what a limbo looks like " said Nancy as they walked the streets of Daveport. It was evening.
"we're right in front of one" Doug answered , they stopped in front of an old abandoned garage door.
"this is a garage, not a magic portal " she looked at the goblin. Doug dusted the door and revealed a ¢ symbol.
"limbos are secretly embedded, they come in form of doors and these doors can only be open with a key. Watch this." He took a breath and chanted the numbers
"455299143" as he did so the ¢ symbol glowed and the numbers appeared on the door. He opened the garage door, instead of a garage it was a straight dark hall path.
"whoa! " Nancy exclaimed aghast
"that is a limbo, a road that cuts through space and time to connect another realm. It can only be accessed through limbo doors"
They entered the limbo,as they got further light bulbs illuminated the path. At the end of the limbo there was a door which wrote J
BARNABAS STAINLESS WEAPON AND WONDERS

They entered the room which turned out to be a workshop, they saw a man or rather a creature. The first halve of his body was human while his waist down was that of donkey, he wore a flannel shirt and a cowboy hat and had a grey curly moustache . The creature was chewing a tobacco while fixing a broken radio.
" hey Barnabas ! got some time to spare? " Doug interrupted his work and he looked and smiled
"Howdy there, I've got a lotta time as far it is business " Barnabas said in a western accent.
Doug put his hands in his pocket and said "I came to get another gun from you "
Barnabas twisted his moustache "sure you can get any type of gun here if you've got money . So modern or classic "
"classic"

Chapter 12: St Titus Home For Socially Troubled Lads.
" This is St Titus, a home for socially deprived lads it is an institution where young men are brought up and bred with the teachings of the Lord and with a taste of the rod. Yes, the rod is not spared from the backs of those who heed not to listen to the teachings of the Lord and the elders, for they will guide him like a compass and keep his path straight. For fair hearing this is not a charitable organization, we cut off the tails of stubborn boys and remould them into successful men the country will admire. We shall not tolerate sarcasm, pervertism, laziness, stealing ,mischief and others. Am I clear? " Father Theodore ended.
"sir is boob sucking allowed? " an anonymous person asked from the crowd of young men the director was addressing and they burst into laughter. Theodore's cold face remained solid, when laughter died down he said "indiscipline, pure undisciplined. Who ever said that, the Lord forgives you but this shall be your last warning, discipline is our motto . Am I clear?."
"Heil Hitler!! " the boys chanted
Father Theodore the disciplinarian left. The institution was managed by him, it was a place meant for handling delinquents normal schools couldn't. Gone where the days when the most hardened delinquents shivered when threatened with the chance of going to the Institution for only a year, back then St Titus was the hell and Father Theodore was the devil. Now the new generation of lads were mostly spoilt brats and sex offenders, they were stubborn in a new wave and had no fear.
He walked into his office where his latest victim Spock Henric was seated waiting for him.
"hello sir " the boy greeted
"hello? is it for yourself or your friend. Greet properly. " the man instructed
"Good morning father Theodore" Spiderman corrected himself
Theodore grunted and rearranged the silver crucifix placed on the wall "what is good about the morning when you violated the law and brought porn magazine into our holy citadel of learning! " he slammed an issue of playboy magazine on the table.
"when I saw the obscene immoral pictures of these item I almost wanted to pluck off my eyes lest it leads me to sin. As for your punishment you shall clean the lavatory for a fortnight and it must be 99.9% germ free. You can go "
Spock was quite different from everyone, he was fourteen and quite short for his age, he had large, catlike ears and big green eyes. Top of that he was dyslexic, his foster parents named him Spock because of his strange look, after they couldn't cope with his academic and social disability he was moved to St Titus, well...
"Hey spoddy ain't you gonna play with us ?" someone threw a baseball at him, it was Craig his long time friend, as he walked to his dormitory.
"no can't do. I got punished by the Saint of Hell(Theodore's nickname )"
"too bad, what are you gonna do alien" his friend asked
"I dunno, just gonna run away from here and sail the galaxy." Spock said

Later that night, Father Theodore went into the basement where a secret lab was set. He brought out a jar which contained a strange creature, a long brown centipede with eight eyes on it's back, on the jar was inscribed HELLWORM. Apart from Spock, this was the second creature that had defied the laws of biology. He began his experiments

Percy Jackson and The Olympians, Lord of The Rings

When I first saw her asleep, I blushed. I wished to be in her dream world and dance with her among the stars. Unfortunately I remember I'm the ancient dragon who brings calamity. The only thing I can do is sit in my lonely palace faraway and watch her smile under the full moon, it brings me joy.

What do you want?...
Fame?,power? vengeance? wealth?, beauty? or something greater than these...
Day and Night


Chapter 0:
Charlene Greene stepped down from the school bus, it was going to be another hectic day in school. She had been admitted into a private prestigious highschool called Morning Rose Girls High, thanks to a scholarship programme, that's good but the challenge was that she was the only one from a middle class family, every other person were from high class families of politicians, industrialists, celebrities. It was hard to mix with rich people, while coping with the frequent series of bullying, and school stress she experienced... this was the most difficult part of her life.She was black American and everyone acted as racist, as most of them were whites.
Coming to school everyday, to a place where you are not accepted because of your social background, race, religion, thought etc could drive one to tears. Morning classes were yet to start, so Charlene went to her usual place of solitude... the girls toilet were she could feel herself.
<cry girl, cry. the world has no place for poor people, you're a failure> a whispering voice said, frequently she had been hearing this voice in her head.
<cry!, cry!!, the tears of pity and sorrow is the solution to all problems.It releases your fears> the voice got louder
"Excuse me Miss, I want to work" a voice Interrupted, Charlene looked up and cleaned her tears it was the janitor, a new one. He was a young man in his early twenties, he was fairly handsome with a thick brown hair and dark eyes.
"OK sorry" her eyes were red from tears, she began to leave when the young man called her back
"what's the matter? he asked
" nothing "
"you shouldn't cry. Crying makes girls ugly" he continued
"are you calling me ugly?!" Charlene felt defiant, the voice in her head started again <avoid him! he's dangerous!! he called you ugly!>
"I didn't call you ugly" he said calmly "but I meant the spirits that dwell around you"
"I'm out of here!" she felt irritated
"I can hear the voices that speak through your head. They are malicious ones, I advice you not to listen to them" he said behind her
Charlene stopped and turned "voices? how do you know what goes through my mind?"
"it's not your mind that speaks, but a bunch of negative aura deceiving you" he came closer to her "following it will lead you to a path of darkness"
The whispering voice in her head became more intense <you stupid girl!! don't listen to him, he's our enemy! your enemy! get out immediately!!>
Charlene suddenly broke into tears, "I can't handle this anymore!!"
<yes we're the only ones who can help your miserable life! >
"see for yourself!" he touched her forehead and her eyes were open... the toilet was full of distorted shadows forming into different shapes, they spoke
<stupid girl we warned you not to listen to him>
"what are these things?!" Charlene asked in horror
"these are not ordinary shadows, these are spirits called whisperers" the young man explained "they are created from negative emotions like fear, cowardice, anger, greif, depression, envy, sadness. Because they're embodiment of negativity they spread lies in the heart of people and make them do evil or commit suicide"
Charlene could not believe it, because she had dwelt on her problems negatively , she had created evil spirits who spoke in her head to create negative thoughts. "please help me don't let them eat me!" she begged
"whisperers are only negative auras, they can't attack anyone physically. Only you can stop them by rebuking them and believing in yourself"
The shapeless shadows around screamed <lies!! we're the only ones who can help you!! we are bound together with you!!>
"shut up!" Charlene rebuked
<huh?> they said in their whispering voices
"I said shut up and leave me alone! for so long I dwelt on your words that I felt worse and discouraged, because of you all I thought I was a failure and I had no friends. My grades and my confidence dropped because of you all kept bugging me, but you know what?"
The young man laughed aside
"I'm going to drop all those self pity and believe in myself." she continued
The shadows began to form again, they were getting faint <you can't chase us we're part of you. How can you succeed in a world where black people like you are mistreated. It is impossible Charlene Greene, you can't be better than this in life>
"let me tell you a little about myself; I'm Charlene Greene, I'm confident!, I'm beautiful!, I'm smart! , I'm proud of my skin color!, I'm proud that I'm a black girl brought up on Harlem downtown because I have a hope that I will have a successful future. As a winner I have no time to listen to trashes so in the count of five leave me or you're history!"

"<bitch!!>, the whisperers took away like snakes
" congrats" the man said " you chased the spirits away and restored your confidence. But you must desist from negative thoughts and emotions hence they reappear"
The school bell rang, school activities started, Charlene Greene looked at the man and noticed a golden halo afloat his head like an angel.
"Thank you...for today" she said
"don't mention it"
"I don't know you yet, what do I call you?"
"Nico. Nicolas Berg"
"okay Mr Nico, bye !"she smiled and left with renewed with new confidence and strength ready to face the world.
" Good girl " Nico said lustfully peering at her sexy ass before remembering he had work to do.

Chapter 11: How to Rob a Dragon:
They both managed to escape the gas, but they reached a mysterious destination... an underground railway which bridged a pool of larva, the earth began to tremble as they crossed over
"we are getting closer to the sleeping dragon, but we should be careful not to wake it or the human civilians up there will suffer it."
They crossed a path full of skeletons, human and animals probably former meals of the dragon.
The earthquake became more intense as they got closer... behold was the great dragon. Do not be deceived, dragons were not graceful creatures that dominated the sky and breathed flames, but rather the opposite... more like fat dinosaurs that lived underground. The dragon was massive and 1578cm long, it resembled a giant six legged crocodile with a plates on it's spine and spikes and horns around it's tail. It's scales were hard as steel.It had no wings.
The temperature of the earth rose , as the beast snored loudly, around it was a pool of larva and gold rocks.
"dragon gold" gasped Doug, "we're god damn rich!"
This was the first time Nancy had see so much gold, stepped closer to the sleeping beast as she moved stepped on a runic symbols printed on the ground, it made an hissing sound and began to turn red..."
oh shit! that's a land mine, get off!!" Doug screamed, in a moment Doug pushed Nancy off and the land mine exploded.
"KA-BOOM" the place shook and dragon opened it's eyes, "GRAAA!!!!!" the beast roared in rage and the place thundered.
"no way! the dragon has woken up!!" Nancy cried "let's leave or else we die and the town will suffer an earthquake!!"
"not a chance girl!!" Doug refused and his tail grew with it's sting flashing "I'm not leaving without my gold"
"don't be stupid Doug, fighting a dragon is suicide! nothing can beat a dragon!"
Instead of fire the dragon emitted a acidic larva, which the goblin dodged with impressive agility and doggedness. Doug had no plan in mind and no magic could penetrate through the dragon's skin.
Nancy took the magic nullifying pixie and came between the both, the beast released another acid larva on the girl but she came up unburnt.
" I resisted your magic" Nancy told the dragon "your powers are useless against me" she said this with bravery and calmness. It stopped it's rage and looked at the girl with it's large green eyes, as if it understood what she was saying then it nodded and went back to sleep.
Doug starred open mouthed "how did you do that?"
"Idiot, I took a magic nullifying candy and blocked the dragon's magic. Because this was the first time someone had survived it's acid attack, it thinks I'm some god so it surrendered and went back to sleep. To fight an enemy you must know his power and if you can't beat him intimidate him.Dragons are naturally peaceful creatures" she continued "and if you had gone head-on to fight we would have been burnt to ash and goldville town would have suffered a massive earthquake"
Doug looked at Nancy, she may be bossy and proud but she was intelligent. They packed enough dragon gold into their backpacks and the goblin led a secret underground road , which had a door at the end. As they passed through they were in a tiny kitchen, it resembled that of the diner where they ate.
In the kitchen was the waitress who had sold the pixie to Doug, except that this time she had hind legs of a donkey with hooves, the upper half of her body was human. She was busy slicing vegetables, when they entered.
"this is the same diner as earlier, how is it connected to the dragon cave?" Nancy asked.
The lady looked at Nancy and said "I never knew you were affiliated with humans, Doug"
"Not so Magra, she's of different stock. But we succeeded in getting some money"
"I don't know how you managed to outwit that beast but your love for money never changes" said Magra as she worked "it's night fall already you two should be leaving, I'm busy"

Both left the town ready to go to Texas, but before then...
In front of the porch of Goldville orphanage, an old nun working there noticed an heavy backpack, what she saw inside made her almost faint. It was full of rocks made of pure gold...

"What happened to the other gold?" Doug asked as they entered a greyhound bus
"...lost it"
Nancy stared at the full moon, wondering how the supernatural forces could blend with humans just like the Doug, Magra, and the underground dragon but never be noticed. The world was full of wonders.
"Who's that Magra anyway?" she asked
"oh, she? she's a Natyrr, creatures who love to work"
"What is dragon gold really made from?"
"Yeah, it comes from dragon droppings" said Doug
"What?!!!!"

Chapter 10: Adventure Underground
"Have you done this before?," Nancy asked
"sure, twice in 1932 I was a miner in this mine" said Doug
"OK"
Both had entered the old mine, carrying with them rechargeable lamps and extra food they were ready for a journey underground.
"so what do I need to know about this dragon cave? are there monsters or boogey traps?" she asked again as they got deeper into the mine.
"more or less... there's bad news and there's good news... "
"start with the good news!" ordered Nancy
" Well dragons are the laziest creatures on the Middle world, everything they do in their lives revolves around eating and sleeping. They are known to sleep for up to centuries"
"and the bad news,"
"Underground is full of dangerous creatures and some funny enchantments. Only the strong may survive" the goblin said
"and who told you I'm weaker" Nancy raised an eyebrow

They entered a broken mine lift which took them deeper down below the mine, the temperature of the earth began to increase and darker it became. They started the flashlight and checked around, it was full of fossils and rocks. Deep down seemed more wider and spacious, on the walls we're rough drawings like those of prehistoric cave painting. Pictures of large reptiles and giant ants , some were words written: THEY LIVE, HELP US!!, SOS!, MONSTERS!!. These sent chills around Nancy's spines.
"these were probably the last messages sent by unlucky humans who failed to make it out of here alive, this is kind of their warning for they've seen what they couldn't live to tell." explained Doug
There was a tunnel which lead straight ahead, it had large holes bored around it, Doug brought out his compass but the globe at the middle didn't appear,it seems there was no signal underground. Nancy felt like Indiana Jones on an adventure in an unknown world, suddenly a skeleton dressed in mining uniform and hardhat fell from one the holes above the tunnel, my it was covered in dust and cobwebs around it's ribcage and skull.
"kyaaaa!" she screamed in horror.
Then Doug cupped her mouth "ssshhh, whatever you do don't make us known"
Out of the holes giant ants like the ones that had attacked back in lakeside town crawled out around the duo with their mouth parts ready for lunch. Doug picked up an abandoned rusty pickaxe and flashed it at them but that didn't scare them till he smashed one flat with it.
"Damn we entered the territory of mega-ants"
"what of your shotgun?" asked Nancy
"broke when I fought the mimic mantis"
"what pixies do you have with you?" she asked again
"two, one is fire element, the other is for nullifying magic"
"good.give me the fire element candy"
"what?!"
"do you realize we're surrounded by hundreds of flesh eating ants, trust me I know what I do"
He passed the red candy to her, Nancy focused her energy and an halo formed over head. She consumed the candy and she began to feel an hot energy forming on her throat.
Like a dragon, she released fire from her mouth at them , it was ten times hotter that the mega-ants fled for safety leaving Nancy and Doug.
"and that's a good waste of magic ladies and gentlemen" commented Doug "but that's smart thinking"
Suddenly they heard hissing sounds coming from the walls of the tunnel. Smoke began to emerged from the walls turning the remaining mega-ants into fossils
"The monsters... they were petrified into fossils!" cried Nancy
"That's petrification gas it turns one into fossil if inhaled!!. Let's run before it gets to us!" The left the area.

Chapter 9: Into The Dragon Cave
Well as earlier said, humans know too much but understand very little may be correct in the case of Gold- -ville town. History recorded that the town had abundant gold and bulit the biggest goldmine in the United States which collapsed due to a mysterious earthquake. What people don't know is that the town never had any natural resources to start with but the source of gold came from an unnamed 700 year old dragon that lived in an underground cave right in gold-ville. The mayor of the town back in 1928 discovered this secret and wanted to build a name for himself and the town.He constructed the largest goldmine in America, this brought the town fame and glory as everyone moved in due to the gold rush until 1946 during a mining operation the dragon awoke, disturbed from it's sleep sent a mighty roar in rampage and the mine with it's workers above it came crashing. That day over three hundred lives were lost and it was a tragedy, till this day the ruins of the collapsed mine of 69 years still remains with the great dragon asleep and unknown.

"Now that we're at the ruin is it right to disturb the peace of this fabled dragon?" asked Nancy.
Doug crushed the empty can of lemon soda and answered "yeah, I told you pure dragon gold is the currency we non humans accept and use, only humans give value to painted pieces of paper and call it money.Then they kill themselves over it."
"mind you this isn't a bank I'm not going to join you to do anything stupid. So I'll stay outside, just be careful and come out alive." Nancy warned feeling disturbed.
Doug sat on the ground and said stubbornly "well you have supremer abilities why do I have to be the one to die? I'm not going without you"
At that point Nancy wanted to tear the goblin apart, "what!? stop acting like a child and get up! we are almost broke!!"
Doug who was singing the lyrics of a rock music he remembered answered, " then stop behaving like a princess, didn't you say women should have the same right with men ? well that means women should be entitled to die like men also "
After fifteen minutes she finally agreed
"OK I'll get into the dragon cave with you to get some gold but don't provoke me"
Doug's face broke into a crooked smile "sure thing ma'am" he bowed forward "ladies first"
"Hey! aren't you supposed to lead?"
"I'm only doing what gentlemen do, right?. Don't worry I'm right behind you"
"keep your sorry ass to yourself I can protect myself! but don't provoke me again or you will dealing with someone fiercer than a dragon" an halo began to form over her head and she entered the collapsed mine.

Chapter 8: Dragon Gold:
Nancy and her new companion took greyhound bus from New Mexico to Texas, they stopped at Gold -ville town. Doug stretched out his body, it wasn't easy to seat in a bus staring at the dusty highway.
"Gold -ville town was famous for it's gold mine in the early 19th century till it collapsed in 1946. The town's yet to recover from the loss of the biggest goldmine in America." said Nancy.
"Is that what you think?" smirked the goblin.
"hey don't look at me thick-head I don't write history books" Nancy chided back
"humans know too much but understand very little" Doug only said

The town looked very ordinary, it was said that around august the town suffered from series of earthquakes. The duo ate at a measly diner.
"ain't you finishing your meal?" asked Doug who was fingering his teeth with a toothpick
Nancy blushed "I'm watching my weight. I don't want to be fat like her in the future" she was referring to the fat waitress who was working.
"then how's your breast gonna grow?" the goblin loved to tease the girl.
A thinner waitress came forward to collect their bill, Doug fished out a crumpled wad of money a paid for the food then he brought out a tiny golden rock which he handed over to the waitress, in return she gave him a large red bean -shaped candy and left. He consumed the candy as if nothing had transpired, the marveled Nancy just stared, "did you just exchange gold for a piece of candy?"
"that's not an ordinary candy, it's what we call a pixie, candies with magic potentiais embedded in them" answered Doug.
Nancy finally understood, the reason why no human knew Doug was a goblin was because he took pixies to disguise himself.
"what of the gold? How did you get it get it?"
"first of all we non-human don't use that green paper your kind call money" said Doug as they were about to leave the diner " Dragon gold is our own currency" he brought out another gold rock and threw it into the air before catching it
"and were is Dragon gold mined?"she asked
"it's not mined, it's gotten from a real dragon and there's one in this town"
Nancy's hair rose in alarm "how can something as dangerous as a dragon be hiding in gold -ville!?

Chapter 7: Father of All Lies
"Brian Ralph Walker, died august 2015... isn't that hilarious?" a man read from the gravestone.
<I don't know> answered a whispering voice
"oh I've forgotten you're a spirit. Not that you have any sense of humour"
< am I a spirit?>
"ughh forget it" the man said irritated
<the plan didn't turn out as you plotted> said the voice. The shadow under the man began to move, it was obvious it was the one speaking.
" I know, but it took an interesting turn. I thought giving the girl a god-fruit was already a bad investment but I'm glad I gave it a trial "
<by killing your human wife and faking your death?>
"wrong, the Mimic- Mantis did that. But in a way I was loosing patience that my experiment had failed and I opened a time-eating hole for the beast"
<that was rash Mr Walker> said the shadow
Brian Walker looked down at the shadow, he was an handsome man with a blonde hair. He was the adoptive and loving father of Nancy Walker who claimed to be dead, this time he had an halo over his head but it was black and radiated impurity.
"as an Anti-Supremer no one has the right to dodge my actions. I thought Nancy had failed and tried to kill her and extract the fruit back" said Brian Walker
<Mr Walker I saw her turn the Mantis into dust>
"don't call me by that human name, I am Raphelius" the Anti-Supremer said"blending with humans is so irritating, they are weak,cheap, gullible and easy to buy.For someone like me I could kill a handful if not restrained"
<what is our next plan> asked the shadow
"hmmm, I could have to pause a little while and observe Nancy.Let's see how she's able control her ability to a certain extent" answered Raphelius
