Chronicles of Kulkantzi CHAPTER 18: The Costume
How did it go? Luz said to Alex, handing him a towel. ‘’You’re drenched.’’Alex wiped his hair with the towel and nodded. ‘’Guess I managed to make it.’’Luz hugged him in excitement, kissing him on the forehead.‘’You’re now an elemental?’’Alex nodded, smiling.‘’Sorcerer,’’ Cetzel called out. ‘’The Guardians aren’t done with him yet.’’‘’Sorry my lord,’’ he apologized.‘’Son of Kulkantzi,’’ he turned to Alex. ‘’There are ominous signs ahead, as the day of the final battle approaches.’’‘’You have to be prepared for just about anything,’’ Yum Balam intoned.‘’I understand that now my guardians,’’ Alex looked at him thoughtfully.‘’This Kimil,’’ he asked. ‘’Why hasn’t he invaded Earth yet?’’‘’Hmm,’’ Yum Chak shook his head.‘’He’s chained to the underworld which limits his powers of direct intervention. For now, he can only fight by proxy.’’‘’But,’’ Cetzel intercepted. ‘’Like I told you last time you were here. Your rebirth has set off a clock.’’‘’And we’ll be out of time when the
Chronicles of Kulkantzi CHAPTER 19: The Diamonds
Alex sank into the sofa, the phone still positioned on his ear. ‘’Go on. I’m all ears.’’‘’You’re gonna steal something for us.’’‘’Steal? Maybe you got the wrong person.’’ Alex’s voice rose. ‘’I’m no thief.’’‘’We know about your sorcerer friend and the magic tricks with the dinosaur. This is real life, Alex. No magic is going to save her.’’Alex paused for a moment, then spoke. ‘’What do you want me to get?’’‘’You’ll steal a suitcase of diamonds from the city metropolitan bank. No tricks.’’Alex covered the mouthpiece for a moment and whispered to Luz. ‘’They want me to steal from a bank.’’Luz had a surprised look on his face as Alex resumed the conversation.‘’So, assuming I retrieve the diamonds, how will you get it?’’‘’Meet us at the old meat factory at 9 Alamao Close.’’‘’When?’’‘’Seven p.m. And come alone.’’‘’Wait! Alex continued. ‘’How do I know my mama’s okay? Let me talk to her!’’‘’You have 5 seconds.’’After a pause, Isabella’s faint voice came on the line. ‘’Alex? Al

All of a sudden, the lights were switched on. There were fifteen policemen in the room, and they were now face-to-face with the armed kidnappers.‘’We have you surrounded, Kostas,’’ Gomez said, stepping forward. ‘’Anything you say will be used against you in court.’’‘’You’re dumber than I thought, cop,’’ Andreas Kostas laughed, coming out of the shadows.‘’You think this is funny?’’ Gomez replied, a serious look on his face.‘’Alex was still hidden in a corner, watching the altercation. ‘’Who is this Kostas guy?’’ he wondered.‘’You do not understand what real power is,’’ Kostas smirked at the cops. ‘’Now you will.’’‘’I warn you for the last time,’’ Gomez said angrily. ‘’Drop your weapons!’’The two women dressed in black were now standing close to Kostas. One of them clapped her hands and a thick smoke covered the room.‘’Kill!’’ screamed Kostas as he retreated with the women.All of a sudden, sounds of guns blazed through the air. Kostas’ men shot indiscriminately at everything th

Xiba (The Underworld)‘’My dark master, Lady Sibla has news for you,’’ a demon announced to Kimil.‘’Umm… send her in,’’ Kimil replied.Lady Sibla walked into the chamber and bowed. ‘’Greetings dark lord master.’’Kimil nodded his head in acknowledgement ‘’What news do you bring from the human world?’’‘’I’m afraid not much sir.’’ Lady Sibla said, her voice shaky.‘’How do you mean,’’ Kimil asked, fire brimming from his eyes as he walked towards her.‘’Err… Sir, she stammered, ‘’He defeated our ninjas and even the fire elementals.’’Kimil grabbed Sibla by the throat, slamming her against the wall. ‘’Your orders were to take him out by any means necessary.‘’Y-Yes, my master,’’ she struggled to breathe. ‘’But he h-had help.’’‘’From who?’’ Kimil’s loud voice echoed throughout the chambers.‘’The guardians,’’ she replied. ‘’They trained him to become an elemental.’’‘’Umm…’’ Kimil loosened his grip and looked at her face to face.‘’You failed me, Lady Sibla. I shall never forget how you

Diego turned in shock. The 25-millimetre bullet had exited from the brain, and the wound was beginning to heal. All vital signs began to improve, as the cop started moving his hands and legs. ‘’I must notify the doctors,’’ Alex thought. But he was interrupted by the turning door knob.Realizing that someone was about to enter the room, he quickly teleported.‘’How did it go?’’ Luz asked anxiously as Alex emerged from the bathroom.Alex nodded his head, smiling. Luz and Isabella rushed and embraced him. ‘’I’m proud of you son,’’ Isabella beamed with smiles.Moments later, two doctors and three nurses could be heard running across the hall, towards the intensive care unit, while the two cops on duty also got up and joined them.Alex could hear them discussing in excitement and patting each other on their backs. The policemen had all rushed inside the room and there were shouts of jubilation.He smiled and turned to Isabella. ‘’Let’s go. My work here is done.’’They all took the lift to

‘’Mama,’’ Alex called out, strolling from his room. ‘’What’s wrong?’’A startled Isabella put down the letter and adjusted her sitting position.Coming closer to her, Alex asked: ‘’Anything the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.’’‘’No – No, son,’’ Isabella forced a smile, leaning back defensively. ‘’I feel unwell. Have to go take a rest inside.’’Alex nodded, still eyeing her with suspicion.‘’Mama,’’ he pulled a small chair to sit beside Isabella. ‘’I’ve wanted to ask you certain questions for quite some time.’’‘’Mhmm?’’ Isabella nodded. ‘’what is it, Alejandro?’’‘’You told me years ago that my papa died before I was born.’’‘’Yes?’’‘’And that he was shot by gangsters.’’Isabella nodded.‘’I was just wondering,’’ continued Alex. ‘’Why he was killed. Was he one of them?’’Isabella paused for some moment, shaking her head. Then she spoke.‘’Pedro had gone to buy groceries and drugs for me from the pharmacy. I had just discovered that I was a few weeks pregnant.’’‘’He had ju

The gas spread quickly around the enclosed basement chamber. Serena was coughing seriously and her eyes were in severe pain.Alex also felt himself choking as the gas filled his airways. He attempted teleporting but failed, as he needed full concentration to do that. ‘’I’m suffocating. Where are you, Alex?’’ Serena screamed in panic, as she coughed more violently.The smoke got thicker and Alex tried to run up the stairs but changed his mind. He decided to help Serena instead.‘’Serena!’’ he called out. Silence.‘’Where are you Serena?’’ he coughed as he groped blindly in an attempt to reach her.By now he was delirious. His vision had blurred and he felt himself getting weaker.‘’Whoever did this,’’ he thought. ‘’Wants us dead.’’‘’But not today!’’ Alex screamed as he searched, the pain in his eyes, nose and throat getting excruciatingly worse.All of a sudden, he found her. Moving her with his hands he discovered to his shock that she lay motionless.While in severe pain from the g
Chronicles of Kulkantzi CHAPTER 25: Isabella’s meeting
Isabella glanced at the clock on the wall, noting the time with a sigh of relief. Her morning shift ends in thirty minutes, but there’s still work to be done. She adjusted her scrubs and headed into the private ward where a patient was recovering from hip surgery.“Afternoon, Madam. How are we feeling today?” Isabella asked, her tone warm and reassuring.The patient smiled weakly. “Better, thanks to you.”Isabella carefully checked the patient’s vitals, recorded them in her chart, and helped adjust her pillows. “Remember, if you need anything, just press the call button. My colleague will be here soon.’’Twenty-five minutes later, Isabella made her way to the nurse assistant's station, where she updated her patient charts. The head nurse caught her eye.“Almost done for the day, Isabella?” the head nurse asked, sorting through a stack of files. “Just wrapping up now. Do you need anything before I go?”The head nurse shook her head. “No, you’ve done more than enough. Get some rest t
