Lake of Hell

An old man with winter-white hair enters a small convenience store. His eyes are milky watery. There's Grey and white in his long beard. A face that is timeworn and very wrinkled. Also walks with a limp.

"Hello, Sir good afternoon"said the clerk admiring his clothes.

A very nice White shirt, black dress pants and a black jacket which are the best from his wardrobe. Two of his fingers are crooked from a car accident years ago. After buying a coke soda and Newport shorts he leaves. Two men near by sit in pick up truck watching his every move. Moments later they decided to rob him at gun point.

" Give me your money and that nice gold watch."

The man looks at them in shock. Then anger starts to set in. Looking down at his watch given to him by his grandfather. The men look at each other and smile. As he takes it off and tosses it.

" Here take it." He said, " Must need it more than me." Then shakes his head. These fellas have no idea who they are dealing with. Merlin is his name a great magician. The set of skills at his hand people wish they had. Taught to him by the top wizards in his family bloodline. Thinking very hard as he walks off.

"I should of not given in so damn easily."

Now he's upset making his way to Smith Mountain Lake. Where it all started the training ground for his magic. All hell is about to break loose. After years of disrespect in his home town of Roanoke,Virginia. It has pushed him over the edge.

With a evil look in his eye. Holding a large wooden staff and pointing it in the air. It starts to glow.

"I call upon chief Lucifer from the underworld ." Yelling in a strong dark voice. Suddenly lost souls and demonic voices can be heard. As winds become heavy opening the lake of hell. A supernatural creature comes into sight.

He has hard skin and scales like a reptile. Taller then the average person. Big black eyes filled with extreme dislike and disgust. Razor-sharp teeth that can cut through human flesh down to the bone. Huge bat like wings sprouting from its back.

"What is your business with me?" said, Lucifuge " Speak sorcerer!"

In a demanding evil voice. Holding a large book that's contains all human pacts made with him. As he levitated high into the air.

"Welcome great ruler" said, Merlin "First appear in a comely shape."

The devil obeys and changes into the most beautiful form known to man. A gorgeous woman that no man can resist.

"I wish to make a pact" said, the great sorcerer "Curse this town I give thyself to you in 10 years."

Suddenly the aura of the beast becomes so bright it's hurtful to the eyes. The intense light spreads throughout the town. People immediately stop their daily activities.

Everyone's mind becomes blank. They have no physical control over their bodies. Almost like puppets heading towards the water. Which leads to different parts of hell. Merlin see's little children and realized what he done.

"It's to late." said Lucifuge, laughing. " Give thyself to me now and it will be over."

The spirit then vanishes. Allowing his army to lead. At the time anger sat in on the sorcerer's part. Only thing was on his mind was to see certain people gone. Forced to turn his back and rethink the whole situation. Not all demons will obey the master.

Thinking to his self and reliving his training as a young wizard. He meditates in a cabin on the mountain. His grandfather speaks to him from the spirit world.

"Make a ring that will destroy his power and lift the curse."

A vision is shown to him and Merlin watches. He looks around and puts together a strong ring and rubs oil on it. Recites a magic spell passed down to him. Then heads off to fight the beast. Walking along the people he finds her.

"I see you came to play."

"nonsense demon" said Merlin as he throw the ring in the air. The demon tried to get away and block it's power. Unfortunately, she is no match and is sent back into the water. The gates of hell are now closed. people awaken out of the trance and are free. What a Halloween to remember.

to him by the top wizards in his family.
