Chapter fifty one: opportunity to make a mark
Special, what is it about me that seems so special? Thomas thought to himself. It was their goal to return home but from Ben's description it was the last runner that was predestined to complete the task so they had to find whoever he is and the answer to that might be with the king which they are on a journey to meet.To Thomas, 'The last runner,' is the true definition of special and not him."What about you, how did you meet Elise?" Thomas asked Jake whose eyes were still on him."Well… remember when I told you I knew Elise was a tough one." "Yeah,""I actually found that out on our first encounter. The first day i set my eyes on her I loved her, I knew she had feelings for me but was only playing hard to get," Thomas furrowed his eyebrows circumspectly and said. "Well how sure were you about that?" "She confessed when I decided to stop going after her," He answered.Wow! That was too much for Thomas, A girl's confession? Thomas couldn't bear it because he hated it when a girl w

Chapter fifty two : The forty minutes countdown
The world was going to fail sooner or later and even though it doesn't, we will leave the planet some day and there is no telling where we were going to be next, it could be that we will return to dust or maybe our existence is beyond the freshly realm, it's almost just like what was happening in Thomas's world; Different dimensions with different impossible encounters,Who would know that such a place exists if I had not been struck down by lightning? Perhaps all this is only an illusion but even if they are, why do we have them? Thomas thought, squishing a piece of paper as he threw it far into the air."Thomas, come on, we have to keep going," Elise called, beckoning with her hand for him to join them back in the car.Thomas followed her lead but throughout the ride his mind was busy with all the possibilities that They might have some glitch during their journey and also the hard fact to accept that Silas was gone."We are here," Elise alarmed and they all looked out through the f

Chapter fifty three : Beaker of dimensions
Something was wrong, that name seems familiar to me but where have I heard it? Thomas thought to himself."We don't have much time left so tell us where Ben is," Felix said to the CEO."I'm not afraid of your threats and like I said before, I am not telling you a thing," Gath answered.[ Good afternoon everyone, once more the brave heroes are about to travel beyond earth boundary, they may be gone for days or months but we hope they find something new and that their adventure will bring mankind to a more successful age, however a new participant will be launching into the sky with the already existing astronauts, this has been his dream and he had pursued it with humility.

"Get those teenage freaks

Chapter fifty four: Perplexed
Silas wasn't mostly concerned about the name of the skill Austin was about to teach him rather what he didn't understand was why he had to smile while pronouncing the name.Whatever, who cared anyways, all that mattered was learning the skill and everything else Austin knew."The 'beaker of dimensions' is a very complex skill that could almost be mistaken for possession and what that means is, it is either you are the one controlling it or it is the one controlling you," Austin said while walking from one end to another with his hand in his pocket."That depends on what it's controlling me for, and how often that can be, so what is it?" Silas asked with his eyes fixed on him"Trust me when I say that if you don't know how to control the skill you will be killing people without knowing it; the reason being that the skill was made for a group of persons called Sentries, only the sentries have full control over the power although it can take them beyond bounds sometimes," "Sentries… so

Chapter fifty five : The starting point
"Thomas!" Felix exclaimed in a whisper."Seriously, I am trying!" He replied. The tone of his voice caught the attention of Ben and Jake as they looked forward to them."Is everything alright?" Ben asked."Yes, everything is fine," Felix flashed a smile then looked at Elise who was glaring at Thomas."She is staring at me right now, isn't she?" Thomas asked."Yes she is, just shut up and answer the question," Felix said."Guys, don't you think it would be a lot easier if we took a car instead of draining our energy while walking on foot?" Jake uttered the statement Thomas was precisely avoiding.Thomas knew that if they took a car it would only add more flame to the pressure he was currently feeling. He was totally clueless."We can't take the ride Felix," Thomas muttered as he shook his head slightly. He wished Elvis was here, he was already regretting why he didn't carry him along because if he was with them things would have been a lot easier."What do I tell them?" Felix asked.Th

Chapter fifty six : Risk
That was definitely the spot they were to begin the search, who would have believed that Silas's grave was the point? but wasn't there something special about that place?It was either the spot was to a great advantage, far beyond leaving the dimension or it was a spot for the sacrifice of their slain to redeem them.That morning after they came to an agreement Thomas instructed Ben and Felix to clean up the bus while he and Jake looked around for more fuel since it was definitely going to be a long ride."What do you think about all this Thomas? How sure are you that you are on the right path?" Jake asked Thomas who was extracting fuel from a vehicle."No, I don't know if I am right or wrong," Thomas answered. "The only thing I know is that it is better to do something than do nothing," "You have no idea where you are taking us,""Listen, i don't want you to say anything about this to Elise or the others," "Why not?" "That is because, I might not know the way out of this dimension

Chapter fifty seven : the inscription
Thomas and his colleagues began their journey while he directed them to the unknown, which was how Jake termed it although he kept it to himself.Jake was the only one who knew just how clueless Thomas was as the rest of them.They took the highway since it would be more safe and even though it wasn't, at least they will be able to elude any incoming threat.While Thomas was directing Jake on the path to follow, Elise and Ben were getting the weapons ready while Felix kept an eye on the road"Do you think we can arrive at our destination without encountering one of those monsters?" Ben asked Elise."And how am I supposed to know that?" Elise heaves a sigh while stacking up the bombs in a different bag. Ben got the point, there was truly no way she could have the answer to that, not unless she was a seer. He chuckled."What?" Elise said."Nothing?" He replied."New York is truly a history In this age," Felix said, still staring out through the back window and they all turned to him."

Chapter fifty eight : Goodbye
They were all startled as Thomas saw another word below the writing but this one was written in a different form."Look," Thomas pointed at the spot the word was written."It's Latin," Elise said as she walked towards the wall. She examined the letters closely."Can you read it?" Thomas asked."When I was little I was forced against my will to learn several languages which was as a result of my father's obsession, he was so obsessed with learning languages that he brought me a private teacher for extra lessons and ever since I have been upset with him even until the day of day of graduation, but here I am, grateful for all the times he had chastised me…" "Can you please just read the word?" Thomas asked. "Sure. The word written on the wall means 'Cursed," She answered. "I think that was the reason why you had that nightmare, I think it was because of the house." "If that is the case we should get out of here as fast as possible," Jake said.When they were about to leave the house t

Chapter fifty nine : Stranger
Elise approached Jake, her eyes were wet and soaked in tears and for a while she was short of words."Goodness, where do I start?" She sniffed then looked into his eyes again."You can start anywhere," Jake answered.She chuckled. "You know, sometimes I feel like the universe should do some switch. They should have this version of you to go to the real world and have the other one come here," She said."Why would you say that? You barely even know me," Jake said to her as she shook her head in disagreement."It's not that I hate the real you but you are willing to do things that he wouldn't do. You are willing to take risks for even strangers, and I am speaking of people you don't know, but the one I know isn't going to do that. He will give countless excuses why he can't do it, it gets me upset sometimes that I feel like throwing a punch to his face but I can't do that because I still care about him so much," she said with much expression. She looked away from him. she watched the

Chapter sixty : The anchor
"That's enough! if you want a real fight, why not face me instead," Jake said."No," Thomas spat blood out of his mouth then turned to Jake. "I can handle this," He said as he stood up on his feet. "Thomas you have to stop," Elise said."Don't worry, I think I was distracted from the focus earlier," Thomas turned to the young man. "The target was never beating him up, rather the target was to reveal his identity," "That's right, I see you are really stubborn and stubborn people deserve to be beaten until they no longer have the strength to fight,"Elise furrowed her eyebrows as she watched them clash again. At that moment she wished Silas was present with them because if he was he would have delved in with it without Thomas's permission. At the short time she was thinking about Silas giving Thomas a hand she was interrupted by a loud cheer from Felix and Ben.She looked up and there she saw Thomas beating the crap out of the man, she watched Thomas beat him until he was no longer a
