Immediately after Felix's answer the crowd mused in confusion. They were all perplexed at his comment because no one has ever dared to challenge the king, no one has lived as long as he has."I know you all might be wondering how that is possible and you might even think that I am not being truthful but I assure you this is the truth," he hesitated. "You remember when I told you about how he said he was made; if he was formed by Mara before her death then that means that he was as old as the king. He told the king that they both had a few things in common and that was their long life and their strive to complete their mission. He mentioned that the only difference between the both of them was their purpose, he said that they both wanted to be free and for the king his freedom relied on keeping Thomas alive and setting the runners free, but for him that was different; instead of saving the life of Thomas he was rather supposed to kill him. That was the only way he was going to find free

“I totally agree with you,” David paused. “However, that didn’t answer my question. If you don’t intend to let anyone know about this then how do plan to find out what the symbol mean,”“There is a library here in the kingdom, I know someone who can guard me through the books and no more questions, please save them for later,” Kelvin stopped David when he was about to ask another question.Back in the prison, Anastasia and Obed were seated in silence with their backs leaned on the wall. Staring at them, anyone could tell that they were frustrated.“I knew that your so-called apprentice will disappoint you,” Obed breaks the silence as she turns to him with her face furrowed like she was about to explode.“Shut up Obed, this was your fault! If you had not opened your mouth in the first place none of this would have happened,” she answered.“What!” he exclaimed in a whisper as he stared at her in disbelief. “Is that how you are to speak to your lover? Now I see why Klaus gave up on you,”

They were quiet for a while and afterwards Anastasia broke the silence. “You can keep lying to yourself but one day your true emotions will erupt and on that day, you will set the entire kingdom up in flames,” she said.“You have nothing to worry about, none of that will come through because I have a will of my own, I won’t explode. Just give up trying to manipulate me because I am determined to follow this course the right way,” he answered. “What I don’t yet understand about you two is why you choose to be evil when there are great good you can do with your abilities,”“That is because we cannot be like everyone else,” Anastasia answered. “Many of you runners are out there trying to play nice when deep down you want to rule the kingdom and there is a man who refuses to age seated on the throne,” “You are still missing the point. None of this was about becoming king. Something happened to us and many of us were taken away from our families, friends and many other people we love and o

It was early that morning when the guards brought Felix peacefully to the community of runners gathered outside to hear the words of the king. The guards led him up to the platform where he met Caleb who was waiting for the king’s arrival.As soon as Caleb set his eyes on Felix his countenance turned pale, Felix could tell that he was sorry for keeping him locked up inside the prison for that long.“I am sorry,” Caleb apologized.“There is no need for that. Actually I am glad you did, but…” Felix answered and before he could complete his statement they were interrupted by the murmuring crowd and that caused Caleb to take his eyes off him as he turned to see the king walk out of the palace, making his way forward.Felix could see through the hearts of the people that they were as baffled at the swift recovery of the king as much as he was but the murmuring soon ceased when the king stopped before them.“I am glad to have you all today. I know that you are all amazed at how swift I was a

“We are not kidding, Elvis was the one who freed us from prison and if by any means you let them catch us we will tell the king the entire truth and since our collaboration with Elvis has lasted for a long time now we have no doubt that he will suffer the same fate with us,” she emphasized.The sound of the approaching community of runners kept getting louder and hearing this Obed looked at Thomas. “The clock Is ticking and for every moment you persist on keeping us here you risk the chance of getting your friend killed and also, if they find out that you met us here but let us leave, you will be equally framed for betraying the kings order,”“What difference does it make? If I let you leave you will come back to disrupt our plans,”“We have no intention to return to this place Thomas,” Anastasia interrupted him. “We all know that the king cannot be killed so there is no point in persisting on doing so,”“If that is the case why won’t you stand and fight with us?” Thomas asked.“That i
