There I was new morning new day as I walked out to the shop floor and turned on the open sign. The open sign was fire that had smoke that create the word Open. I yawned before I heard the door open.
"Hello welcome to the Exorcist Den." I said as I turned and saw a man dressed in style that said Egyptian.
"Ra is that you?" I asked seeing a human but had birdlike eyes.
"Runic it is time for your first test. Would you like to get to the station of your police female friend?" Ra asked with a deep voice. Den got up and was on high alert.
"Yeah, I will drive." I said as I got changed into a nice clothing and got on a Trench coat. "Den keep an eye on the shop till I get back."
We got into the truck and start driving. Ra looked around and saw the people walking around
"Runic why protect this people that don't believe in the work that you do?" Ra asked as I stopped at a red light.
"It is human nature to protect the ones that you can't protect themselves." I said as I looked at the light go green. I drove down the street as I saw the more supernatural creatures got into view.
"Your test is to understand the creature the different pantheons are sending to this down. I will explain it to the man you call Chief Wilson and the woman you call Officer Mia." Ra explained as I looked at him for a quick second. I knew this was partially bullshit. We pulled up to the station and a man saw us.
"Ra the sun God!" He shouted scared as I saw the smile on Ra's face.
"Seems I have believers in America." He said as he walked with me into the station. Inside the station people were laughing and talking as we got into the center.
"Drakklin who is your friend?" Officer Mia asked as she walked up to us
"Oh, he is Ra the God from the Egyptian pantheon." I said and everyone stopped and look at us. "We are looking for Chief Wilson."
"He isn't here it is his day off." Officer Mia said as she clearly uncomfortable.
"Where does he live?" Ra asked as he focus his birdlike eyes on Mia.
"We don't give that information out, But I will call him." Officer Mia explained as she pulled out her phone and call him before stepping aside.
"Runic humans don't work well with others I remember the old days." Ra said clearly not happy about how he was getting to the end goal.
"Yes, but if you didn't have humans, you wouldn't have believers or powers." I explained as I sat in a chair. Mia returned putting her phone away. "He will agree to meet you in the city center."
"Good Runic if you would please." Ra said as I got back up.
"You coming Officer Mia?" I asked as I started walking. She nodded as she followed us outside to my truck. Inside my truck we drove to the park to meet Chief Wilson.
At the park we saw the Mayor and Chief Wilson standing there by a big oak tree. I park my truck and walk out. Ra, Officer Mia, and I walk up to them.
"Ra, is it? What does an Egyptian God want with our small town in Kansas?" The Mayor ask as we stood there.
"Runic took a liking to your town so we wanted to test him to see if he can protect this town unlike Port-au-Prince Haiti." Ra explained as she made an Egyptian staff before he kept talking "So, the test is this. The different Pantheons are wanting to release the supernatural into this town. Nothing Runic can't handle. His job is to figure out which Gods are sending them and beat them."
"What is your role in this Ra?" I asked as I put on my black gloves.
"I am the watcher you could say, I have to make sure you follow the rules that will be put in place." Ra told me as he made a table, and a few chairs appears. Ra motion for us to take a seat. We sat down as he gave each of us a copy of the rules.
"The rules are simple Runic. You must not take a life; you must not cause more damage than needed, you must learn what it means to have this power again, you must find the balance." Ra read off the rules to us before he kept going. "Break the rules this town of Auraville Kansas will be destroyed and you will be stripped of your title and powers."
"Look Port-au-Prince wasn't my fault!" I stood up and shouted. "I was still a young exorcist and learning!"
"You were cocky and bullheaded!" Ra shouted back at me his bird features coming out. The runes on my hands glowing to his power. Officer Mia stood up and motion for us to back up.
"When will this test start?" Officer Mia asked trying to change the subject.
"It already began. Kuchisake-Onna was a trail run from the Japanese Patheon." Ra told us. I knew her being here was not a mistake.
"I can't back out of this test?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"No, this test isn't optional, you do it or the town is destroyed." Ra said cracking a smile.
"What is my grace period oh wise one?" I asked.
"The test already started; good luck Runic, you know how to call me or Hermes." Ra said as he vanished before our eyes the chairs and table still there.
I slammed my fists on the table making the papers jump a small bit. I knew I didn't have a choice in the matter.
"Okay so Runic what is your real name?" The Mayor asked.
"Drakklin Evenglade and your sir." I said to him
"Jerry Brown." Jerry said. "How can we handle this?"
"I need to talk to someone who might know a thing or two about what is going on." I said as I walked to my truck getting a Ouija board. I brought it to table and place it down.
"You're going to talk to the dead?" Mayor Brown asked.
"It is a special Ouija board, only one soul can use it." I explained. I opened the box and proceeded to pull the items out of the box. "No one touch it I am the only one that can use this." As I touch the board the air got cold before we heard a voice.
"Sorry my friend your old teacher isn't available." The voice said with a cackle. The board burst into flames.
"There really going to make it hard for me." I said as got up and got into my truck. Officer Mia got in the truck with me.
"Let's go see the Crossroad Demon." Officer Mia said like she was reading my mind.
