“WHERE ARE YOU?!” Jake and Bert asked almost at the same time, looking all around. But there seemed to be no one around.
Just the endless, oppressive darkness befalling upon them in that part of the maze.
"No need to hurry." The voice spoke. "I'll show myself to you soon, but for now, I'm going to have fun playing cat and mouse..."
"WHO ARE YOU, YOU BASTARD!?" Jake yelled, trying to get some response from the voice.
"Still!" Bert whispered to Jake. "There's something we're not seeing..."
Jake didn't like taking orders from his partner, but he knew Bert's detective instincts had always been sharper than the others. More even than those of the detectives in the precinct, with whom he had had to work over and over again.
So as much as he hated to hear that authoritative tone from his best friend, Jake shut up and looked at Bert like he didn't understand what was going on.
Bert knew he needed to give his best friend some infor

When Tehom approached, Becca was fully aware of the risks she had taken by walking down this path. It was creation versus destruction, and She was alone at the moment, so She couldn’t do much to stand Her ground against Tehom’s legions of chaos. The power inside of Her, brimming with the godly energy of life, coursed through her veins like wildfire. She remembered the scriptures, and more than that... She remembered Her own memories. Becca finally recalled everything from Her past until the very point where She stood in history. She understood what She was supposed to do, and why She had to go down that road. And everything made so much sense inside Her heart, that She found it hard to believe that She even questioned her truths. She condensed the energy of life that brimmed inside Her, and expulsed it in one violent push, unleashing an amount of power almost as huge as the big bang itself. It wasn’t the universe being

The entirety of the battlefield fell silent before Becca’s unexpected might.Friends and foes seemed to hear her words, along with the strange warning that resounded in between the lines.If you move, you’ll die...The pressure that emanated from Becca, even though she wasn’t unleashing any kind of aura, ability, or anything of the sorts, was enough to make a normal human faint.Yet, she seemed to only be directing that enormous pressure towards the scribe. That was the reason he couldn’t move after she told him so.However, despite feeling frightened by it, Metatron was outraged enough not to let his fear show.“Your scribe?” He scorned. “What kind of nonsense is that? Did you hit your head or something?”The scribe’s tone held everything she wanted anyone to know. His body wasn’t in his control at the time, yes. But he wasn’t backing down from the po

Bertrand used to have strange dreams, and just with the ideas presented to him in those dreams, he would’ve had enough material to write many books.But he wasn’t a writer, so he just kept those dreams to himself.That was, until he woke up in cold sweat, panting heavily, after having what he felt like the strangest dream in his life.He dreamt of a battlefield, a devastated land composed of levelled ground and ashes. Rhe landscape painted grey, red with his wounded friends’ blood, and golden with the blood of the strange things they were fighting.Uri was there, along with Mathew, Cam, Jake, and many other people. Some he knew, others he had no idea of who they were, but it was easy to tell friends from enemies.Only that there was another person whom he was sure he knew, but had no idea where from.A short girl with curly not-so-short hair, white skin, her features seemingly alike to Uri. And she was helping them fight th

They needed time to have all the information sink in, but strangely, everything that both Bert and don said made perfect sense.Even though they couldn’t just explain how, so they just carried on with the day.Elleanore allowed Abby to skip classes, and the whole group stood at Elleanore’s place, eating, drinking, playing games, talking.Doing anything they usually did throughout the day.They’d been like family ever since they could remember, even when they had to move on with their lives.They invited each other over as frequently as they could, played games together, hung out for drinks.Even Abby. Who turned seventeen recently, started helping Bert in his agency, finding paranormal stuff and all.And that was the reason why they found sense in Don and Bert’s explanation for the dream.Because when they were faced with the essential question that Don had them answer...

Among the entire group, very few actually knew their roles in the story, so very few of them had a solid role to play in the plan built by Don and Jonah.It took a few months for them to arrange each of their parts.Life went on for all of them in the meantime. School, college, work, householding, everything and anything that they could do to keep themselves busy until the time was right.And during these months, news went out about natural disasters, terrorist attacks, fanatic religious groups talking about a long-forgotten tale about a perfect God with capítal G, Who became forsaken by His own creation and would unleash destruction upon the whole Earth to appease the anger He felt for us.They all followed the news to know all updates about it, because as suspicious as it looked, as crazy as it looked, the whole story made sense to them, because they were the only ones to know that there was a war that happened beyond anyone’s know

Just as Jonah had mentioned, the work to build the electric chair took less than three days. That was because finding a water that was pure enough to suit the unicorn boy’s needs was hard enough.But sooner than they expected, the project was completely done.Since Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see the whole experiment taking place, so she strongly recommended him and Cam that they should take the project somewhere else, or else she would, and they wouldn’t like it.After all, she might even be part of that craziness, but she still put her daughter above all else.And Elleanore wouldn’t allow such things near her Abby, not even if her daughter was a goddess or anything of the sorts.Abigail was still Elleanore’s baby, in the end.However, even if Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see what was going to happen next, Elleanore herself went to Bert’s house, along with Cam, Jonah, and Jake, whil

As Jonah approached the entrance of the maze, he took some time to take in everything in his surroundings.Strangely, he didn’t feel familiar with the large desert that unfolded around him. Jonah remembered all about the place as soon as death took a hold of his body, and he wasn’t sure if the domain of Death, his old domain, had always been so bright.It looked as though daylight had been poured over the vastness of the deserted plains, with only the giant maze showing in the centre of everything.Something felt fishy, and even though Jonah felt confident in walking through the land, he also felt as if something was out there, watching him.But when he felt it, his attenti

It was hard for Bert and Cam to tell Mathew and Jake that they were basically alone in this now, since Uri disappeared, Don went after her, and Elleanore had resigned herself and Abigail from the fight. It was even worse after Jonah told him what they had to face, despite not even concretely knowing what were their strengths against all odds. They felt as if they were walking in the middle of a crossfire, blindfolded, with their hands tied behind their backs. And while they were at it, researching, looking for gods, searching for more answers, the world kept changing. In the course of the months that followed their first reunion to discuss about the dream, that now seemed to them to have taken place years ago, the world had changed. Weeks went by with earthquakes reshaping whole areas throughout the world, typhoons devastating small towns, crimes happening much more frequently, atop of many more disasters happening all around. And along with that, a new pillar of power was rising
