Chapter: Chapter 7. Rumors and closed case."Lynn! Lynn!! Lynn!" Clay shouted at the top of his voice as he entered the sitting room of his mansion.It was mid-day, and it was unlike him to have returned home by that time, therefore implying that the issue at hand was very urgent and needed to be settled at once.Lynn was upstairs in her room, hearing his call, she felt reluctant to answer, after all Clay knew exactly where to find her, and didn't have to scream her name that way.In the next couple of minutes, he was at the door post of her room, forcefully opening the door, he walked up to the sofa where she was sitting and gave her a dirty slap on the cheek.That was the first time he was laying hands on her and her cheek turned red as a result of the slap while she held her face, with tears filling her eyes."Didn't you hear me calling?" Clay asked with rage.But Lynn still in pain didn't answer his questions, she barely spoke to him ever since she was made to move in with him. They were yet to say their marriage vows so

Chapter: Chapter 6. New partners.In the evening, that same day, Andy and Charlie arrived at the Emerald restaurant, one of the biggest in the city by means of a taxi. He did not want to cause a scene there, so he came in a casual manner.When they entered the restaurant, Karen was already seated and waved to them the moment she recognized them. It was a first class restaurant, so most of the people there had bodyguards hanging around. Since it wasn't news to people that the Prime minister's daughter just returned to the country, the people around began to wonder who Andy and Charlie were to be the ones to have a first official meeting with her, adding to the fact that she had returned to the United States to take over the family's business, since her father more focused on politics and his duty as the Prime minister. The attention on both Andy and Charlie soon shifted to only Andy the moment it was noticed that he was the one Karen was there to meet, because the table was reserved for two and Charlie had to take a

Chapter: Chapter 5. Change of plans.The event at the Los Angeles airport was carried by all television stations and everyone kept talking about it, with the big unanswered questions of "Why have the Golden Vultures returned."Many thought that Gibbs was back to the United States to continue the family business, but videos continued to repeat as people tried to identify who the Golden Vultures picked up from the airport that morning. Reporters began to call them out, for an open speech, but most of the official lines of the organization were redirected to other organizations that broke out from the Golden Vultures, thereby making them aware of the big boys' return.The Sheltons were having dinner as usual in the dining room when the news began to air for the third time that day."It's such a shame that these reporters still can not identify who the Golden Vultures picked up at the airport." Bobbie said as she was sick and tired of hearing the story without any useful information."Sooner or later, they'll tell who reviv

Chapter: Chapter 4. Wilkinson of New York?The convoy of the Golden Vultures stopped inside the premises of a well structured mansion, though that was not the place Andy expected to be, but he knew there was a reason why they drove down there instead, after all, six years was enough for the total transformation of the organization. When he stepped out of the car, he expected to see Franklin too step out from the one in the center which he should have entered but to his surprise Charlie was the only one to come out along with the driver and guards."Welcome back Boss," Charlie walked up to him, putting out his hands for a handshake.But Andy did not only shake his hand, he also hugged him. He was happy to see Charlie having such rank in the organization, especially because he personally recruited and trained him in the ways of the organization.After the hug, he looked at the six guards and drivers that had stepped out of the three car convoy with them, and they were all new faces, none that he recognized. When he left, Charli

Chapter: Chapter 3. The Golden Vultures.After Andy left the Shelton mansion, his mind wasn't at rest, he had faced several humiliations from the Sheltons before now but what he faced that evening was far more than the rest. His brain was still trying to figure out why his wife would sign the divorce papers which were presented to him, because her signature wasn't one that could easily be forged. Adding to the fact that she was absent in the family celebration, made him convince himself that something was wrong and that she needed him. Earlier before coming to the mansion, he had tried her line multiple times and it wasn't going through, still that didn't stop him from dialing her number again as he got to the nearest phone booth. When he was arrested, everything pertaining to him was left in the mansion and with the anger he felt while leaving the party, he didn't bother to check in and park some necessary things.At the phone booth, Lynn's number was still going straight to voicemail. So he switched to calling a differe

But on walking towards the gate, he was stopped by the security guards, who acted as though they didn't know he lived there."What's the meaning of this?" Andy asked in surprise as he looked at the faces of the two guards."You are now welcomed here anymore, so we'd advise you to leave peacefully." One of the guards said, placing his hand on Andy's shoulders since Andy tried to ignore them by going into the compound and mansion.Andy looked at their faces again and saw great seriousness, implying that the order to keep him out of the mansion wasn't a small one, but one that could cost them their jobs.Even with his observations, he was still going to enter the mansion as he was eager to see his wife and child and ensure they were alright, the job of those guards wasn't his problem. Pretending to walk away, the next minute Andy throws a punch at one of them, but his fis

Chapter: Chapter 8.Knock! Knock!The heavy bang on the door alarmed Benjamin and Flynn who were about having dinner as they both looked at each other."Are you expecting any visitors?" Benjamin asked Flynn."Shh.." Flynn shushed him. "No, I am not," He whispered, then stood on his feet as Benjamin followed him.Flynn moved to the CCTV. while Benjamin waited behind."Who is it?" Benjamin asked."A girl," Flynn replied then turned to Benjamin who also stepped forward to have a look. Benjamin was shocked to see that it was Lily, the same girl he ran into at the hospital.'What the heck is she doing here?' Benjamin thought as the Knock resounded again. "Why do you seem shocked? I bet it must be one of our course mates who is also in search of you," Flynn said."I know her," at Benjamin's response Flynn held his peace. "I don't trust her but maybe you should check to see what she wants,""No Benjamin. I can't open the door for a stranger. Anyone can be a suspect. maybe she could be a bait to lure you outsid

Chapter: Chapter 7.About seven minutes later Benjamin arrived at Flynn’s lodge and when they both entered inside Flynn locked the door.“Why are you doing this?” Benjamin asked while panting. His eyes were fixed on Flynn who moved over to the CCTV camera and after a brief observation Flynn turned around to him.“I don’t think that is an important question. Right now you should be more concerned about your safety,” Flynn replied. When he was about to walk away Benjamin stopped him.“I don’t know what you are planning or why you are doing this but for the record, I don’t trust you and I don’t intend doing that any time soon.”“I am not asking you to trust me, Benjamin Carson. I don’t feel safe around you either, at least not while you have that thing in you. I don’t even know why I am helping you but I guess that is because it is the right thing to do,” Flynn said earnestly and afterwards he left for his room.Benjamin took a seat on the sofa chair. He wrapped his fingers around each other and leaning his

Chapter: Chapter 6."Hey!" Benjamin exclaimed. Approaching Flynn, he grabbed him by the shirt violently thrusting him to the wall. "Who are you and what are you and your acquaintance up to?" He asked with his eyes fixed on Flynn who was shocked and at the same time confused. "What nonsense are you saying? And by the way, how did you come into my house?" Flynn asked with a frown on his face. "Shut up and Answer my question?" Benjamin said, tightening his grip on him. "I overheard your conversation, I heard everything…" "And what exactly did you hear?" Flynn interrupted with a frown on his face. "You have a fraction. I don't know how you managed to sneak your way into this institution without being caught but I assure you that I will do everything to stop you and the mission you and whoever you were talking to have," Flynn laughed slightly. "Okay, I think you have said enough. You better get out of my apartment before I call the authorities," "I don't care whether you call the authorities or not…" "

Chapter: Chapter 5."We all know what season we are in and this time things could get a lot worse. The Sect have dictated that soon earth will face her most Apocalyptic times so they are raising a barrier large enough to accommodate as many citizens as possible," Ceasar explained."Have you figured out why they asked us to raise this structure?" Pedro asked."Yes," Ceasar responded. "They are making it to recruit armies to increase our arm forces. The authorities are preparing a mechanical method of awakening the common people,""Is that safe?" Dawson asked."No it's not. Anyone who is awakened mechanically will live only six months after the awakening process which is why we were instructed not to force anybody. The authorities have instructed that we should perform the experiment on only willing candidates so that when they face the consequences, it won't be on our hands,""That is a cruel craft," Connor said with a frown on his face.

Chapter: Chapter 4.The next morning Benjamin awoke from sleep only to find himself in a confined room. There were many foodstuffs inside and he had made a mess of the place. Uncertain about where he was he stood on his feet as he walked out of the room only to realize he was in a provision store.The store was open and there were a few customers inside so he arranged himself properly, putting his hood cap on as he dug his hand into his hood pocket to blend in.He left the room, sneaking past the two cops by the entrance."Vortex, are you there?" he said in a whisper.[Good morning Benjamin]"How did I get here because the last thing I remember was hearing my mother's conversation with Detective Dennis?" He asked.[I turned you off to save your life. Your mother knows what you are so you cannot return home]"What! i can't give up my mother or my studies,"[You won't be giving up school because in order to accomplish my mission you have to go there but your experience there will take a different course]"

Chapter: Chapter 3.Benjamin Carson arrived home later in the evening as he met his mother seated on the sofa chair in the sitting room. She was weeping while looking at pictures of him."Mom," Benjamin called softly as his mother turned to him.She was startled to see her son who the doctor said was in a critical situation standing before her. She couldn't tell if this was a dream or an illusion."Benjamin," She said, putting down the picture as she gently arose from the chair. "Is that really you?""Yes it is, I'm the one," He said while approaching and when she got hold of him she embraced him tightly then she began sobbing."I thought I lost you," She said."No mom, I'm right here, I'm fine," He replied as she pulled herself away from him."Why didn't the doctor call me before discharging you from the hospital?""It's a long story," he replied drifting his gaze to the fridge. "Is there any food at home, because I am starving," Benjamin asked impatiently."Yeah, there is…" Lisa mumbled while observing

Chapter: Chapter 8.After about an hour, Marc regained consciousness, as at this time, Berilan, Unae and Merethyl had gotten a grip of themselves and were beginning to think of their next action."What happened to me?" He asked as he didn't recall what happened.That question made Kilin's heart at ease. He was glad that Marc didn't remember how he punched him in the face."What did I miss?" Marc added another before noticing they were in the cave yet he couldn't find his sister. "Where is Githa?"Now Kilin's heart raced again as he knew Marc would surely remember what he did, so he took a bold step to apologize in advance. "I am sorry for punching you in the face.""Who cares? Where is my sister?" Marc repeated his questions.From the way he sounded, Kilin could tell that he remembered the punch but it wasn't bothering him at the moment."They were gone by the time we arrived, but don't worry, we'll find them." Berilan forced those words out."So what are we waiting for? Let's kill some drows and find ou

Chapter: Chapter 7.On their way back to the elf hideout, they all felt like failures because of what the dwarves said to them, and it made their journey slow. They didn't know how to face Calaudra, how to tell him what the dwarves said about the fight, which was opposing his vision.Their journey was very quiet, that Marc had to start up a conversation, trying to put all Taldak words behind them. "Kilin, why don't you tell us a story.""I don't know any." "Come on, that's not true. Tell us about your giant heritage. How a giant came to marry a dwarf." Marc specified."Why don't you tell us how come you share an elfish heritage." Kilin asked back, avoiding to share his story with them."Well, I don't really know. My mother never talked about it, nor did I know until the last two weeks.""That's not true," Kilin doubted."Of course it is, Berilan can attest to this." Marc was finally achieving this purpose of lighting their moods with a conversation."Is that so?" Kilin was now interested to know, so he

Chapter: Chapter 6.Seven days later, Berilan, Marc, Merethyl and Unae arrived in the country of Glalissa, the kingdom of the dwarves. They had left Ruven and Ristel at the cave to protect Calaudra and Githa.Riding into the kingdom on horsebacks, they were amazed at what they saw, the place was already in ruins, implying that the enemy was there before them."We are late." Unae said after having some flashes of what had happened there through the help of her magic."It's not time to lose faith. There should be a survivor, someone that will lead us to the mountains." Merethyl gave them a reason to keep their faith up. It was good idea, so they alight their horses and began to look around, checking the destroyed buildings.As Berilan came close to an entrance of one of the houses, all of a sudden the door pushed him away to the ground, and that made the others come his way at once."Be careful," Berilan said to Unae who sensed magic there and drew close to the entrance which was now open because the door

Chapter: Chapter 5.Getting back to the Elvish castle, the sky was almost bright, so they couldn’t proceed with the rescue operation, thus they waited for the whole day, even as they observed the security in the castle, by watching the drows on patrol. When the night was there again, they split themselves into five groups, and sneaked into the castle to find out where they were keeping the elves prisoners.It wasn’t up to three hours after they entered the castle, the security horns were blown, notifying the entire castle of intruders because a drow was found dead.“They are back.” Merethyl said to Calaudra whom she was locked up with. They kept the two of them separate from the rest of the elves because they were royalty.“No, they shouldn’t have come back.” Calaudra said in disappointment. He had seen in his visions what would happen if a rescue was attempted by the runaways.“What are you talking about, uncle?” Merethyl was confused, she wanted to get out of there by all means but didn’t know how. “

Chapter: Chapter 4.Berilan looked at Marc, got back on his feet and walked away from all of them because he could tell that Marc didn't understand a thing about what he was saying."Was it what I said?" Marc asked Ruven because the way Berilan looked at him before leaving could tell it was."I'm sure it was," Ruven answered honestly since he knew Berilan better than Marc did. "You do know what the drows are right?""No,""Well, that explains a lot. For starters, they are dark elves, said to be defeated long ago, but it appears they were only hiding while they grow in strength and number, waiting for the right time to attack and reap the world of everything good." Ruven explained in the simplest term he could.But that wasn't going to stop Marc from achieving the main purpose why he chose to follow Berilan. "We still need to rescue them right?""I'll say you get some rest, you've journeyed a long distance." Ruven didn't know what else to say to Marc. "Let's clear the road." He commanded the rest of the e

Chapter: Chapter 3.“Mother, Githa,” Marc shouted as he came close to the cabin.At the sound of his voice, both Thola and Githa ran out of the house to meet him. Thola was overjoyed to hear his voice, and she had a lot to say to him. Meanwhile the beasts were already surrounding the house, so that as they came outside, one was about to strike them with its axe, but Marc threw the sword at it first.“Whoa!” Both Thola and Githa exclaimed in surprise, even as they saw more minotaur coming after Marc.“Get back inside,” he ordered them after seeing that they were safe. Then he drew out the sword from the dead minotaur, using it to stab the other which was about to strike him from behind. “Aahhh!!!” Githa screamed from inside the cabin as a minotaur had already broken in, so Marc ran inside to their rescue. Meanwhile, Berilan came running towards the house too, even as he kept shooting his arrows, he was fast and very good with the bow that he barely missed. Coming close to the house, three beast were st
