Demonic Heroes

Ch 25: Mirrored Horror

3rd POV:
Snugglemagne ran out the mist, anger coursing through him. He readied his claws
jumping at the shapeshifter.
“LET GO OF OAM!!!” Snugglemagne slashed the creature’s eye, its blood falling onto
the floor.
“HOW?! YOU BREATHED IN THE MIST!” The creature covered its eye, hatred in its
eyes. Snugglemagne stayed quiet, determined to save Oam. Snugglemagne ran up to Oam,
shaking him awake while the shifter recovered.
“Ngh- Snugglemagne?” Oam looked up at Snugglemagne, his eyes half closed.
“Oam I-” Oam quickly pushed Snugglemagne to the side, barely dodging an attack from
the shapeshifter. “Oam, stay back, I-” Before Snugglemagne could finish his sentence, Oam ran
past him. Oam quickly shifted into hydra, roaring loudly. Suddenly a golden sword punctured the
creature’s chest.
“Oam. Let’s end this.” Mao Mao stumbled forward, bruises forming around his neck.
Oam gave Mao Mao a smirk, then turned to the shapeshifter. Oam blew fire at it, it forming a
shield to block most of it. Mao Mao slid under the fire and shield to slice the shapeshifter’s leg,
causing it to fall to its knees. Oam quickly shifted back, picking up the shifter. He threw them at
a mirror, almost breaking it.
“Wait, no. Not back in there, no!” The shapeshifter screamed as Oam sighed.
“I’m sorry.” Oam pushed the shifter into the mirror, a bright light coming from it.
“I… I’M NOT GOING ALONE!” The shifter grabbed onto Oam’s cape pulling him back.
“OAM!” Mao Mao and Snugglemagne said in unison. Snugglemagne was frozen with
fear, being forced to watch as Mao Mao ran to Oam, trying to pull him away. Adorabat slowly
opened her eyes, barely being able to see what was wrong.
“... Mao Mao, let go.”
“NO! I CAN’T LOSE YOU!” Mao Mao held onto to Oam, tears running down his face.
“You can’t save me! Save yourself!” Oam let go of Mao Mao, but Mao Mao still held on.
Tears continued to fall as Mao Mao desperately tried to save Oam.
“Please, no! YOU’RE LIKE A BROTHER TO ME! YOU ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT ME, I
CAN’T LOSE YOU!” Mao Mao screamed, the sound of his cries filling the temple.
“... I’m sorry.” Oam started to cry. They were too close to the mirror to escape, Mao Mao
knew this.
“... So am I.” Mao mao quickly pulled Oam into a hug, no longer fighting against what
was pulling Oam in. ‘If you’re going, so am I.’
“MAO MAO!!! OAM!!!” Badgerclops, Snugglemagne, and Adorabat all yelled in unison.
But it was too late. The light from the mirror subsided, causing them all to tear up.
“They’re… gone.” Badgerclops fell to his knees. “Why?”
