“Margedo what you doing in here?” shouted the strange man, the black substance that was stocked to his body was very thick yet it seem more like part of him, for he didn’t seem to notice it.
“Master, I apologize. But with all do respect I feel I should by here, I belong here.” Margedo was the golden man, but how come he was called the strange man master? Was he a Lord?
“Gosh Brunelo! His not a kid leave him to do as he wishes.” said Jack looking over at Brunelo.
“You don’t understand Margedo is may----” but Brunelo was interrupted by Joaquin who had had it.
“Are you goes coming with me or not?” he said looking all them.
“We said ‘yes’, but how in the Hell you expect us to travel to another universe?” wander Emmanuel.
“Ah! That the easy part, by the Mirror of Lies.” responded Joaquin looking over them.
“If my memory doesn’t fail me, we are all standing within the castle of Günzburg. Just a few miles away at the end of the woods there should by a old abandon research laboratory, in there in room fourteen we will find the Mirror of Lies. With it we can access one of the dimensions that contains the artifacts we need to defeat the Triumvirate. Now are they any questions?” he said, looking over them again.
“Yes, when do we leave?” asked Nash.
“Tomorrow.” he answer turning to put on a shirt.
They all left the room chattering, none aware of the true, one he hope they never question.
That night he dreamed of the inevitable, only to wake up to reality. Upon waking up he had another looked at his room, the stone walls were cold not like the warm house he lived over in Sussex, this bed was not the same either, it too was cold.
“Alan you were right.” he said getting up from his bed. A new set of cloths had been laid aside for him, he quickly got dressed and had looked in the mirror. Long brown boots, white pants and, leather belt to hold his rapier in the left while his broadsword rested opposite to it. He had white under shirt with long sleeves an short dark jacket. But that didn’t bother him a bit, what brought his entire attention was his left eye it too had now become lavender.
Before he could cursed his existence the door flung open revealing the strange man again, Brunelo.
“Excuse, can I possibly have a word with you?” he said. Joaquin didn’t know if he was looking at him or not sense, Brunelo’s eyes were shinning blue, making it impossible to tell what or how he saw the world.
Joaquin had quick looked at the room, no one else but Brunelo. “Go right ahead.”
The unknown substance that Brunelo’s body was covered in started to go berserker, attaching it self to several object in the room by what seemed like black thick gooey tentacle.
Joaquin made a sudden jumped but several more of the tentacles sprouted out of Brunelo. After all the tentacles had connected themselves to an object in the room, like a dark spider web. It was then that Joaquin discovered Brunelo’s secret; under that thick substance was B-Demetrios body.
“Jack is too good for his own good. He didn’t tell you, about my condition. I was posses a body like any other paranormal but I had my run with the tremendously powerful, Mizernco Ironjar. Mizernco turn my body apart like wet tissue and then left me for dead. Unlucky for me, that day Death did not came for me, however my powers mutated my broken body into a dark slime, I could live by attaching myself to others like a parasite.”
Joaquin was more frighten by the image of the nearly death-like Demetrios then anything else.
“Those who became my vessels died within days, their bodies roved of all life and soon felt to ashes. A soon discover that I was addicted to life, life that I had once saved. I searched for an alternative method, in then it came; paranormal flesh and blood were perfect…but I could not just take over anyone I’m not a monster---”
“What a dilemma!” said Joaquin trying to sit down in his bed without touching the tentacle.
“A living dilemma. I switched from paranormal to paranormal, none of them aware of how they end up there and, how much time they had lost. That all change when I possessed a young boy, Lando. He still retained some control over himself, he searched for someone powerful enough to rid of me. It was then he found the frail broken Jack---”
Joaquin jumped out his bed and touch a tentacle, it give him a weird felling of cold hide with mixture of disgust and fatigued.
“What you mean frail and broken?” said Joaquin trying to keep his mind clear and awake.
“Ah! Yes, I don’t know much myself but the inevitable happen; Mizernco try to build an empire of the most powerful paranormals, he enlisted Jack Draw know as the Addict. During a heated argument Jack pushed himself to the limit by tapping into Mizernco energies causing a dimensional shift, those who witness the events suffer a permanent power increment.”
“What happen to the others members of the empire?” asked Joaquin with anxiety and been careful not to touch another tentacle.
“All vaporized by the magnitude of the explosion. It not only wiped a mountain size castle but all in forty kilometers around it, Jack was the only survivor and even him doesn’t know how to explain---”
“A miracle.” answer Joaquin rather fast.
“A miracle!? Miracle, yes perhaps, there was a time with the gods didn’t loathed our current forms and powers….who knows there maybe a paranormal church and god for the paranormals.” his tone was saddened, and his voice fainter then usual.
“However that how encounter Jack, and learn of his power, and how when he absorbed a paranormals power it cause a random mutation allowing the paranormals to gained new powers. I try it on me, but it seems my parasitic form is immune to it. Instead then he promise me to find me a body and I find a cure. I became a doctor.” all the tentacles wrapped themselves around Demetrios, and once more he look as if he had fallen into a pit of tar.
“As doctor I could not leave you to die….I had to do something.” he said leaving his head to fall.
Joaquin cheeks when read with anxiety, but before he could asked the question, Brunelo answer.
“You were losing so much blood and my only solution was to performed a blood transfusion, but there was no available donator.” he pick up his head and looked stray into Joaquin’s eyes. “I used Demetrios as the donator, it when fine. But I was worry this was the first blood transfusion that included a human and paranormal.”
Joaquin touched his hair and then his face. “You made me into a paranormal?”
“It seems like it…I’m---” but before Brunelo could even move, Joaquin blinked out the room and then appear again within eye to eye distance of him.
“Thank you!” he shouted hugging Brunelo, once again feeling that strange feeling of fatigued.
“Why…for? You want to by a hideous monster like us?” asked Brunelo utterly confuse.
“None of you guys are monster, the only monster is those Elements and Mikhail. With the power you have given me I can defeat them even faster, thank you again.” he said as he open the door and left, leaving Brunelo totally confuse of the natural of his self-hatred and views as a monster.

That must be horrible to live as a parasite, feeding off the powers of others, though. Those black tentacles are... interesting.
As you said, this information is vital.
But, there's one thing I need to make sure of. Did that doctor work on Joaquin while he was injured from the fight between the giants?
