Maks zipped out and picked up running. They mimicked his speed running too, he overlooked how creepy it was to be fighting himself and he nudged them off his side counting, enraged that he was getting multi-maimed, the road stretched out in front of him, he didn't have to outrun them.[...19...20...21...] If he was able to make the clones burn out then he just might slow them down before they could do any more damage. He got a sense of his environment, he reached a sunny boulevard of trees, blue sky and clean apartment buildings with brick red bases, he braced himself before 23 and he leapt up to a tree. The copies slid past him uncontrollably surpassing 23 seconds and they died of exhaustion. He stayed aloft with a raven's aura on him. He held on to a branch. The flight of the raven felt more like antigrav than flight, he had no wings but all the same, he turned himself over and latched on to a thick branch and pulled himself down, he touched his shoulder, huffing and watched them

Polymorph touched his face and ran over to the distance he split up ten times over. Each with elemental and sub-elemental powers. He wouldn't get lazy. "I need more." Reyna, their leader with firepower bounded in shooting projectiles at them. He escaped and she rushed over to where Streak lay. Her eye watered at the bloodstain on her stomach. "Why does this always happen to me?" She said in a strained voice.Her chest heaved. "You're a soldier, it's what you signed up for...Artemis, don't do anything rash."Her lips thinned. "They're gonna get to P.A.S.S. Who knows how many people he's cloned.""We'll figure this out." The other lookalike Huli jing, the youngest in the group lurched after him, drawing water. They made simultaneous hand motions and the waves swerved and caught them in a sphere. Polymorph struggled in the current. The first clenched her fists and the water toughened up like cement. "Any time now." She said to the second who lifted them off the ground. He grew gills

"Yeah, me too." Artemis said. They had little time left before they would become goddesses and their tasks would be over soon."That's good." She added. ... He could not overlook the minor patients that were making a lot of commotion at the ward, he would have to be patient, he read to a bunch of three year olds. The others jumped over beds, fought on chairs with rubber tubes like pirates and they made snappy comebacks, trying to suppress each other, he wondered where they were getting all that energy from. The nurse opened the door and fumed at them."As much as I'd prefer you bubbly little bugs, right about now but do you mind!?" She looked around when they paid no heed."QUIET!""You're no fun." One of them said and they giggled at him.Her lip pursed. "And get to bed, it's almost time for your siesta. If you want to get stronger, you kids may as well sleep right so your conditions don't get worse." They muttered their protests retiring from their squabble and Maks chuckled."T

"Thanks for keeping it warm for me, Victor." She tore up the book. "Unlike you, I can boldly foretell that one of you three will die." They were dismayed by the fact that she just tore up the chronicle. Their only chance to uncover what was happening to her. They also knew that she was able Mark as a tool to write a portion of a grimoire to summon herself back into the real world. That was the kind of spirit they were dealing with."Tell me you have a plan.""I don't know, I did not remember enough details to cover up...""WHAT?"He tapped his temple and reimagined the pages. "She's...possessed, it's an enchantment spell. It foretells about death so she must be a banshee...who has the ability to possess the living. There's also the part where she can't talk so she's lending a voice.Artemis paled. "You can tell about death too, does that make you a banshee?""That's not the point." Victor said."You knew one of us was going to die." Maks said."She's just playing mind games. Just ta

The herald blew his trumpet and shouted that the King was dead. The news warranted momentary silence and gasps from the crowd and he blushed and announced again that the King was 'here'. They cheered while they had the grand opening and then they went about their businesses. Playing games, preparing for the jousts and the play. "So, where are we off to now?" Irma said in a black Led Ze**elin shirt, jeans and sneakers. Artemis straightened the puffed sleeves of her dark green tunic, brown leather gauntlets, long brown skirt and boots. "Not my style but I'll take it." The merchants were offering a 70% discount on their products. They picked out essentials and jewels. Artemis bought a pouch with a wyvern on it. "Yes." She hung it on satisfied with the snugness of it. It had a nice grip. Irma put more jewellery into it and then tried on a black headband on her short hair. The people felt cheated when Artemis picked out most of the quality merchandise."These are awesome." Irma said t
