Finn's eyes widened in shock as he took in the demonic form of his mother, his mind struggling to process the transformation. "Ma... Mom... is that really you?" he stammered, his voice shaking slightly, fear and confusion etched on his face.
Amber's demonic form let out a grawling growl, her voice no longer recognizable as her own. "Soul all ill. Manchuga Dasai unane felu ryni siüñ," she snarled, her words unintelligible to Finn, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity.
Finn's eyes snapped back into focus, his grip on his sword tightening, determination replacing his fear.
" Finn! She says she's not your mother right now," Franklin translated quickly, his voice tense. "She's your enemy. No mercy, Finn. Keep your guard up!"
Amber's demonic form lunged at Finn with terrifying speed, her movements a blur of crimson and shadow. Finn barely dodged the first strike, his heart racing as he stumbled back, his sword at the ready.
"Zhilak k'thik!" Amber snarled, her voice like thunder, as she struck again, her claws raking through the air mere inches from Finn's face.
Finn dodged and weaved, his breath coming in ragged gasps as he struggled to keep up with Amber's lightning-fast attacks. He swung his sword wildly, but Amber was always one step ahead, her blows landing with precision and power.
"Korvath nakai!" Amber growled, her voice dripping with disdain. "Tselak na dorakai caboane yá!"
"Finn, she's saying you're still too weak!" Franklin shouted, his voice urgent. "She says you need to keep your eyes on your enemy and never let your guard down!"
Finn's eyes flicked to his father, then back to Amber, his mind racing to process the translation. But Amber was relentless, her attacks coming in a flurry of blows that sent Finn stumbling back, his sword trembling in his hand.
"Zhioak k'thik!" Amber snarled again, her voice a whip crack of sound, as she closed in for the kill.
Amber was about to deliver a knockout blow to Finn, but he gripped her hand and kicked her away, sending her stumbling back. As he rose to his feet, Finn's body began to change, his eyes flashing with a feral glow as he transformed into a demon.
With a fierce roar, Finn charged at Amber, his demonic form propelling him forward with incredible speed. He kicked her with a resounding crash, sending her flying across the room, crashing into the wall.
As he stood tall, Finn spoke in a grawling, unfamiliar voice, "Korvath nakai shadar, kra'vak tel'esh, dorakai tselak!" he growled, his words unintelligible to him, but laced with fury and determination.
"He saying... 'I might be battered, but I'm not broken, and I will not lose'!" Franklin translated for the others, his voice amazed, his eyes wide with shock.
Finn's Six siblings didn't move are responded they just stared at the fight between their mother and little brother
Amber struggled to her feet, her demonic form bruised and battered, her eyes blazing with a newfound respect for her son.
Amber's laughter echoed through the training field, a joyful, approving sound. "Kra'vak tel'esh, Finn," she said, her voice warm with pride. "Well done, my son. You have manifested your demon form. Now you will stand a chance in the demon realm."
Finn's demonic form still raging with intensity, he looked at Amber as she spoke, and slowly, he began to understand her words. His breathing slowed, his form shifting back to human as he stared at his mother in shock.
Amber smiled warmly, her human form reappearing as she walked towards Finn, her arms open. "I'm proud of you, Finn. You've taken a huge step. Now let's work on mastering that power."
Franklin rushed over, relief and pride on his face, "Finn, you did it! You transformed!"
Finn looked at his hands, still processing the transformation, his eyes wide with a mix of amazement and uncertainty.
Finn's family - his six siblings, Amber, and Franklin - rushed towards him, embracing him in a tight, joyous hug. "We're so proud of you, Finn!" they echoed, their voices overlapping with happiness.
Amber and Franklin beamed, tears in their eyes. "You've done it, son," Amber whispered, hugging him tight. Franklin nodded, clapping Finn's back. "Proud of you, kiddo."
Finn's face was alight with triumph, surrounded by his family's love. Then, he suddenly pulled away from the embrace, a fierce grin on his face. He took five steps back, pumping his fist in the air, his eyes gleaming with exhilaration.
"I DID IT! I DID IT!" Finn shouted, his voice raw with emotion, his chest heaving with triumph.
As he shouted, the demon transformation's power surged through him like wildfire, overwhelming his mortal body. Finn's eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he coughed up a glaring mouthful of blood. His body went rigid, and he fell to the ground like a puppet cut from its strings, his family rushing to catch him as he convulsed in pain, the power of the demon form tearing through him.
Emily rushed forward, her hands glowing with healing magic as she placed them on Finn's convulsing body. The light enveloped him, but his pain didn't subside.
She turned to Amber, fear in her eyes. "Mom, what's going on? What's happening to Finn?"
Amber's face was etched with worry, tears brimming in her eyes. She struggled to keep her voice steady. "I think... his demon transformation was too powerful for him. If he doesn't master it... he... he will die."
Franklin's face was grim, his arms around their other children, holding them back as they watched their brother struggle. "We need to help him, Amber. Now."
Amber's voice cracked, her eyes locked on Finn. "We will. We have to. Emily, keep channeling your magic. We need to stabilize him."
"I don't get it," Frederick said, his brow furrowed in confusion. "The rest of us didn't have this problem when we transformed. So why is this happening to him?"
Amber's expression turned grave, her eyes filled with a mix of concern and understanding. "According to my mother Lyra," she began, her voice measured, "Finn has more demon blood in him than the rest of you."
The siblings gasped, their eyes wide with shock, as they exchanged worried glances.
Franklin's face went pale as he finally understood what that meant. "It means... he's an archdemon," he whispered, his voice barely audible.
Amber's face twisted in rage and anger, her eyes blazing with fury. "Damn it," she growled, her voice low and menacing. "My mother is behind this. I believe when Finn was a baby, she musta snuck into his room and forced her blood into his little body."
Franklin's eyes widened in shock, his expression mirroring the outrage on Amber's face. "Lyra did this? She's been manipulating things from the shadows again."
The siblings looked on, their faces pale, as Amber's anger seemed to fill the room. "She's been playing a long game," Amber spat, her voice venomous. "And now Finn's paying the price."
Emily's voice was shaky, her eyes on Finn's convulsing form. "M-Mom... what can we do?"
