“Why did they hold my dad captive?”

Ray continues questioning him.

“They thought that I stole one of their supplies, that's all” he answers. “And that's true” he adds as if he couldn't believe himself, causing Ray to roll his eyes. “I swear I only took a few books from the library, it wasn't my fault those books got stolen by thieves”

“What book?” Billy asked

“The Scarecrow book, a book which tells of ancient spells and tradition. It has to do with necromancy ” he said.

“What the hell does that mean?” Ray asked puzzled.

“It means there is magic involved with that book, and I think those scientists were planning to use it”

“Wait, why would they want such a thing? Isn't it dangerous?”

“Not necessarily,” he answered. “All you have to do is memorize certain lines and chants, and recite certain phrases, then the spell will activate itself. If you recite a specific phrase too often it will work whether you know it or not”

“But why would anyone want to learn such a thing in the first

    Lucy grabs a ninja swinging a sword by the ankle and twists, sending the attacker stumbling. She lands neatly on her feet and turns towards him, eyes narrowing as she assesses his skills. His grip is slightly slippery but not quite slippery enough for Lucy to be able to slip out of it without getting cut off from her momentum. Still, he’s better than her at hand-to-hand combat. He holds himself like someone who knows what they’re doing. The ninja glances at her before charging again, this time with more purpose in his swing. Lucy sidesteps, catching the edge of his blade and pulling herself into a tight spin before leaping over his head. The boy follows after her, spinning around just a moment too late and losing his footing. He hits the ground hard, grunting with pain and frustration. A glance back reveals that Lucy has landed behind him, crouched low like an old woman preparing to strike. She looks like the kind who would use such a move to catch her opponent off guard.

But it won’t change my decision”“Are you sure that’s wise…?”“My orders are clear: We are to harm them” The General replied firmly.“Fine” the young boy mumbled.“What was that?” The General questioned“Nothing Sir, it is just that there hacking the MPK device could also risk our lives, you know we wouldn't want to mess up with a mythological Device like that...not that we haven't done that already...”“You don't have a choice, I have given you permission to go along with our plans, now act accordingly”Ray frowned deeply at their words, he didn't understand why the two were talking about the MPK device but he heard the name formerly from Yuki, What is this device? and why is everyone after it Then Ray remembered seeing the blueprints inside the facility at ERA city maybe these were parts of that device! “Hey, soldier, what are you doing over there?” a voice cuts in, and suddenly Ray turns his attention to find a group of soldie

He then pushed him aside, making the bullet bounce harmlessly off his armor.“Nicely done, old man” Ray smiled sarcastically at his uncle.“Are you alright?” he asks Lucy worriedly.She nodded, “Yeah, but Ray, that was pretty reckless” she scolds “I could have died”“But you didn't ” Ray answered, smiling sheepishly, “I'm sorry...ok?”“If you say so,” Lucy said skeptically.They continued on their way out but Ray could hear footsteps following them. He turns his head to see two soldiers chasing them.

A truck passes into the city before it ends its movement before a small but, then Uncle B descended from the driver seat spanning his bones while inspecting the area. Billy hops from the truck drizzling mud on people passing by, who uttered profanity in a different language towards him. “I'm sorry, and I wish you also the same” he retorted merrily “Common Billy doesn't start again” Ray announces unlocking the door as he leaps to the ground. He rolls to glance at uncle B who wanders to a store before them, “So where is this?” Lucy and Yuki descended similarly to the ground as they followed Uncle B into the store built with a bamboo tree. They cleared the mini opening which conveys an old woman with glasses skimming a journal

    “Professor is right, we shouldn't hope on that, now” Uncle B agreed to Professor's statement. “We shouldn't depend on anything or anybody” “Ok…then when do we start our journey?”Yuki demanded Uncle B glances at Professor for an answer, “I would suggest you leave earlier, it going to get tougher the longer you stay”he implied while heading out through another entrance. “My thought, it's best you split up to cover more ground” “That is right, that's the fastest way to get the pieces together” Uncle B hesitates for some seconds. “—Two teams, the first team Yuki, Billy, and Ray stay together and head to Old headquarters while the second team I and Lucy head towards Indonesia” “Why don't I have to be in the team that travels out?“ Billy asked rhetorically “We don't have a plan when the enemies arrive?” Yuki asked “We got a plan…we strike” Uncle B uttered with a strong assurance “With no weapon?” Billy raises his shoulders with doubt conveyed on his face. “

Roy turns to look at Kori as she stands up, “Let’s go” she said while walking toward the door leading below deck. Roy gets up and starts following her, keeping his distance from everyone else, knowing that they have many questions they want to be answered.When they arrive at the bottom of the stairs, Kori opens the door to one of the rooms, entering before Roy. Roy quickly follows her inside the room and closes the door behind them. He stops walking and turns around to face Kori, “So where do I begin?” he said.“How about the beginning” Kori suggests.“Alright….so let me start by asking you a question...why do you think I’m going to stay here...when I should be trying to find a way out,” Roy asks.“There is a good chance that this mission will turn into a battle. If we stay here until then, the army will capture and use you as a bargaining chip. While that may seem harsh,

    “You never did tell me about the explosion," Roy asked while staring at kori “You saved us...you saved the entire city," Kori replies. “From what?” he asked while staring directly at Kori with the image of a lady flashing before his eyes. Kori walks closer to him while kissing him gently on the kisser. Roy closes his eyes and kisses her back, savoring every moment with her. The two continue to enjoy each other's touch, enjoying the feeling of happiness before pulling away. "I'm sorry Roy" Kori apologized quietly as she looked down. “What?” Roy asked confused by what she said “Why are you apologizing? What for?" Kori glances at Roy briefly before looking forward again “It’s just...well...we've both known that we're soulmates since birth. I don't think we’ve ever told each other that we love each other or even admitted that we were attracted to each other. Even though we knew we loved each other, we didn't say anything.

    “Okay, I need to grab something out of my backpack. Stay with me, Roy. Please!” he says while walking towards the tree and pulling out one of the many bags he’s carried around. He opens the bag and begins rummaging through it once again. Then he finds what he was looking for: a small box with a few bottles of liquid inside. He quickly runs back to Roy and kneels next to him as fast as he possibly could without losing balance. “We have to get you into my tent, alright? It’s our only chance.” He places the first bottle of saline on the ground and takes the box out of his pocket, opens it, and puts a couple of pills in his mouth. Roy watches the man drink the water in his mouth and then spit it out immediately, almost choking on it as he continues to look for the proper medication. After gulping two pills down he sets the empty bottle aside, and then picks another one up and pops it into his mouth. “Here, take this one,” he says as he hands Roy the bottle, then moves to pick him up brida

    Roy could hear whispers then he opens his eyes to find himself being pulled across the hallway toward the exit that shone a bright light on his face. His body is hanging loosely from the straps of a chair. He groans slightly as he feels every movement his body makes as he is dragged across the smooth surface of the floor. He tries opening his eyes again, but he sees nothing except darkness for miles and miles. Then something hits him across the face hard. Pain shoots through his right cheek, making him close his eyes again. Then another blow. And another. Then something slams him on the back. “What kind of father do you think the general is? wanting his son dead” he could hear someone talking outHe’s thrown across the floor outside, as the got searching sun burnt through his eyes. later he hears the door close far from him, then he could hear footsteps coming closer to him.

    Back to Reality

    Roy wakes up to find himself floating by the side of the river all drained and wet with some glass pierced right into his stomach. His whole body feels like it’s on fire, from the waist down. The pain radiates throughout his entire body, not just his abdomen but his entire arm and leg are covered in blood. He tries to move his hand, but he can barely budge at all. A dull ache pulses through his head as well. As he stares into the dark water he notices the faint glow coming off of its surface of it, the reflection of moonlight against the dark green water. The air around him is still. Roy can hear nothing except for the sounds of his shallow breathing. Then there’s a movement out of the corner of his eye. Roy turns his head sharply as he hears footsteps approaching him. The sound doesn’t seem very loud though. Maybe they are underwater?The figure emerges out of the shadows. “What the hell happened?” says a familiar voice. That’s the guy who found him. It’s gotta be a trick of his min

    When they start to get hungry, they decide to grab some lunch, deciding to eat in the cafeteria since it is the most popular place to go for lunch. They find a table outside and sit down to eat their lunch.“Have you ever been to the library before?” Trisha asks after eating.“No” Roy admits. He has always liked learning new things about other countries but there were some subjects that his father wouldn’t allow him to study. He was allowed to read historical novels about various countries, but nothing more.“I think I’d like to visit someday soon” Trisha admits “Perhaps after the festival is over”“That sounds great. Are you planning on coming here tomorrow?” Roy inquires hopefully“Maybe” Trisha responds quietly. Suddenly, Roy feels her tighten her grip on his hand. The sight causes him to turn to face her, noticing that her cheeks are bright pink.“Trisha” he says worriedly as he reaches out towards her “Is everything alright?”“Yes,” she says hurriedly “I mean yes I’m fine I’m ju

    The next morning Roy wakes up from bed feeling normal, strong, and healthy. He walks out of the tent only to see several soldiers and officers walking around the area. They were dressed in uniforms, and all seemed very busy.Roy notices a woman standing near the tent. She is talking animatedly to someone who is standing behind a wooden bench. As he gets closer he recognizes the woman. She’s wearing a blue dress, and she’s chatting away with one of the guards in Arabic, both of them laughing together while pointing to something in their hands. One of the guards places a hand on the woman’s hip, and they share another laugh while leaning into each other's embrace and resting against each other for a short moment, which ends in them embracing fully. Roy looks at them for a second before turning back towards his destination. He spots the boy that he had spoken to earlier lying on the ground, still sound asleep, with a bunch of toy sheep laying nearby.The boy suddenly opens his eyes and s
