Lance had left his seat when a good period of time had passed and Glenda was still not back. He didn't tell anyone when he left. He didn't want attention drawn unnecessarily to where he was going, as there was a likely chance that he would be stopped. The dark hallway looked like a restricted area, by the look of the place. There were cobwebs plastered around the wall and corners. Back at the event hall, names of the chosen Lords were still being called and applauded, but he was restless as time went by and Glenda wasn't back. Had something happened to her? Was she lost? He hoped to the purple heavens that was not the case. .There was dim light coming from somewhere at the extreme of the passage way and he marched ahead and came upon an empty room. The metal gates was open and plates were scattered on the floor, as if there had been a tussle earlier.Something had happened. His heart beat accelerated as he ran back to the event hall, and to where the rest of the students sa
There was shuffling of feet as Glenda stood and ran up to the front of cell where the iron bars seperated them. Her face shown through the fire that was lit, and there was fear, dread and what looked like relief in her eyes, that he had come for her..But he couldn't hold the fire for long, because he hadn't mastered it, and the Nummix potion wasn't here. There were in the past, which made the whole situation worse. "What happened?" Lance mirrored her fear in his voice. "Who put you here? Are you hurt anywhere?""The man who contended for the Wiccan Empire..he has long hair--""We know him." Said Lance, with apprehension in his voice. "Why did he put you here?..is he a kidnapper?" Mara asked"He caught me eavesdropping..he wants to kill the Lord of the Wiccan Empire and he deals with dark magic..or so I think, but I didn't have the magic he had so I couldn't defend myself."The fire was starting to tingle his hands painfully and he snuffed it out. Mara ignited hers. "Thanks" "D
"Liam the key!"Lance shouted and Liam stretched a hand and tossed the key from where it had fallen. They still held the man in place, taking his hands behind his back, Mara had also gone to help, and it looked like they couldn't hold for much long as the man still thrashed. "Hurry up Lance" Lance quickly shuffled through the huge bunch of keys, his hands shaking and almost dropping it on the floor.gods. How was he supposed to find the right key among the horde of keys?But luckily he found the one with the symbol on the padlock and inserted it, and it clicked, and his heart calmed from it's frenzy. The gate quickly flung open, and Glenda ran out and hugged him tightly. He wrapped his arms protectively around her, feeling her smooth and sleek body against his."We have to go now""How?" She withdrew, fear still on her face. Lance created a portal with a quick dart of his wand. "Go in" "What about you...and the others?" She asked. "We'll come right after you" He said, and she no
......"So you're saying Joel at some point planned to kill Clifton? And he took you as hostage?" The professor said, his chin resting on his entwined fists."Yes, professor" Glenda said. "We..saw you as well, your.. past self though" She smiled shyly Professor Trevor smiled back."That happens a lot of the time when students go on their time travels, but I still don't know why I'm the one they keep seeing.""We think he might be unto something, even now" Miss. Janis continued, trying to get back to the conversation they had at hand, and relaxing a bit in the soft chair she sat on. "I must say after that moment years ago, when he walked out of the hall in anger, there has been something off about him since that day...but why hasn't he done anything yet? Why has there been no news or occurrence?" "Your guess is as good as mine professor" Miss. Janis said. "I'm glad you're safe child." Professor Trevor looked at Glenda, elation on his face. "I dread to think the worse things that c
"Didn't you see that?" Lance asked, still bewildered. "See what? The magic?" Liam shrugged. "That's a form of it..a higher state" "When are we going to learn it?" Liam mused."that will be at the end of Level Two I guess" "Wow" "So we still have quite some way to go" "It'll be a cool skill to have anyway." He moved a hand in the air "like subzero" He was lost in fantasy world. Liam looked at him in confusion. "What are you doing? And who is subzero?" Lance dropped his hand. "Sometimes I almost forget I am in another world that is not earth.... living a life that is not mine" "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it" Liam smiled."I guess I myself have to come to terms with the fact that I am stuck with you instead of my Lance" "I am more unbearable than him?" Lance asked. "I can't decide for now" Liam chuckled. Jodge came into the Fort, looking a shady kind of pale and tired. He approached them. "Hey guys" "Hey" Liam responded. He sat on the nearest empty bunk belonging t
"The only way is to mix as you remember" "How does that work?" "Well, I don't know... from what I heard that's the case..we are yet to find out apparently" "Silence everyone" Miss. Jayne instructed, shifting her oval glasses and the room went still. "Now pay close attention.. judging from your murmurs most of you already know what's in store for you today and the nature of this potion...but for clarity sake I'll explain and make the introductions. "This potion is not quite as old as the rest. It was developed at a time corresponding when Golredot went to battle. "Some soldiers used it to forget their families and children at home for a brief moment until they returned from war, as it was easier for them that way to face combat and die fighting. Prisoners from the war were given a stronger type of the potion to forget what had been done to them, their destroyed homes and accept the new life Golredot offered them. "Some of our captured soldiers used the potion to divulge from r
"Yes?" "Is there any wooden slate here? Of any kind?" Glenda considered. "There's one...a mahogany slate in the cupboard.""Yes!". Lance exclaimed excitedly. She looked at him with confusion."What's up? Why are you excited?""We could make use of the slate and write down the items we've already used...that way we can remember what we've forgotten.""Cool. It's an awesome idea..." Her face lit up."How are we going to do it?" "I need a scribbler of some sort" He whispered to her. "What are you guys up to?" Liam came up to them. "We just might produce the best Nirvana potion." He looked over jealously to where Jodge and the guys that were his new found friends were already mixing theirs, as if they'd discovered the one secret, the Holy grail to make the potion work. "Whatever you do we follow" Mara said, her red-spotted cheeks brimming with excitement as she stared adoringly at Lance. Glenda watched her for a brief moment, then looked down at the items, shifting closer to Lance.
*******Lance didn't realize where he was. Was this some part of Golredot?He remembered he'd taken a sip from the Nirvana the class had been instructed to prepare. His heart thudded in his chest. "Hello!?" He shouted into the blackness. But there was no response. Where was he? And why was everywhere pitch dark. It was just the dim lights at the grocery store, and the moths that flickered around them.The Grocery store. That was his store, where he worked and was fired.Nothing made sense, what had happened? Few minutes ago, he was in a contest with Jodge, if he could call it that."Lancccee""Lancccee" A voice called in the distance. The night was dark with dim bulbs around the Grocery store and everywhere was silent, empty. Why were there no cars? What was the time? And who was calling him?"Lance" It didn't sound far again, it was close by. And he turned to see who it was. And there a beige skinned woman with long brown hair called to him. She wore a worn out Hawaiian go
