Nick laid down on the cold hard floor next to Maya, Sophia, and Rose.

“Where are we right now.” Sophia asked.

“I took us to a parallel dimension to the one we have been living in for the past few years, so we have all the same things we did in the dimension we were living in before. But the people will most likely act different except for us, because we are the ones from the first dimension we all met in so we haven’t changed personality wise.” Nick said.

“I still hadn’t found my power, and for all we know it could have changed again.” Sophia said.

“Yeah well now you can try and find it for as long as you want.” Maya said.

“I wouldn’t be so sure of that.” A voice said with in the room.

Nick quickly got to his feet ready to fight. He saw a beautiful woman standing in the doorway. She had black long well cared for hair. Her eyes were a strong red with a dash of blue. Her features were beautiful. A long black dress that stops at her ankles. Black wings the size of a full grown man were attached to her body near her shoulder blades.

“Who are you?” Nick asked across the room.

“My name is Lilith, and I am here to help.” Lilith said.

“Lies.” Nick said.

“I am not lying.” Lilith said.

“We know who you really are.” Nick said.

“I know I just told you.” Lilith said.

“You tried to kill me!” Nick said.

“Ah, so you know my secret then.” Lilith said.

“Yes, I know you pretended to be someone called Meezan with a different form, you tortured me in that cave in the afterlands.”Nick said.

“Yes, yes is suppose I did, by the way, how did you break those bars clean off like that?” Lilith asked.

“You don’t need to know.” Nick said.

“If you tell me I might let you live.” Lilith said.

“Might?” Nick said.

“Yeah, might.” Lilith said as she disappeared.

Her voice boomed through the room. “You have one week, at this time next week I will be waiting for you in the afterlands. You can get there from anywhere because it is connected to every dimension. Nick, you can not bring any of your friends with you or they will die to, so come alone.” Lilith's voice finished.

Nick looked at his watch, it said seven o’clock. Maya turned to look at Nick.

“You aren’t actually going to do it. Are you?” Maya asked.

“Yeah I will, and I am going to put a stop to her.” Nick said.

“Nick it might be a trap.” Maya said worried.

“Yeah but even if it is a trap, I still have to stop her, no matter the cost.” Nick said. “I have to go train.” He said as he walked into the training room. Maya wanted to say something but figured it would be better if she just left it at that for now. Nick entered the room and closed the door behind him. Maya walked over to the training room to let Nick know that dinner was ready, when she entered she saw a bunch of robots smashed into the walls of the training area and a note of the training area side of the door. Maya picked it off and read it:

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Dear Maya,

I am sorry, but I may not come back. I snuck out in search of Alan, once I have finished him off I think I will be able to be able to train with a clearer head than I have now. Do not come and try and find me, I need to do this so I can focus on Lilith. I will be back when I can.

Love,

Nick

Maya dropped the note and ran out off the room. “Rose, Sophia, Nick has gone after Alan!” Maya yelled.

“ALAN! I KNOW YOU’RE HERE! COME OUT AND FIGHT ME!” Nick yelled.

Alan appeared as if he walked through an illusion.

“How did you know where to find me?” Alan asked.

“I caught one of your goons and got it out of them.” Nick said.

“Impressive, why do you want me though?” Alan asked.

“I am going to finish you here and now.” Nick said.

“Are you now.” Alan said raising one eyebrow.

“Yes.” Nick said.

Alan burst out laughing. “You aren’t even on my level.” Alan said still laughing.

“I am still going to defeat you.” Nick said.

“Do you not remember what I did to you last time.” Alan said.

Nick stood silently.

“I drugged your girlfriend so she thought she thought she was home. Then I broke every bone in your tiny little body. You would have died if it wasn’t for the one girl who caught me off guard and shot me to the side and escaped with you. I had already taken your girlfriend away so she couldn’t take her too.” Alan said very vividly.

“Yeah well I am stronger now.” Nick said.

“As am I.” Alan said.

“Well let’s see it then.” Nick said.

Maya spotted Nick and asked her dragon to set down on the ground near him. She landed and jumped off of her dragon, ran towards Nick and hugged him.

“I was so worried about you.” Maya said.

“Huh, who are you?” Nick asked.

“What, Nick it’s me.” Maya said looking at his face.

Nick looked around “Who are you talking to, who’s Nick?”

Maya looked around and saw Alan laying on the ground exhausted with a needle in his hand, it was empty. Nick had defeated him, but Alan had taken Nick’s memory with whatever he injected into him.
