C E N T R A L C I T Y , E R E G O N. T H E A R E N AThe moon rose not quite long ago. They called for me at the arena, as I have been informed earlier by Kilish. I was told that there was going to be a private training session between Shalf and I. the moment I hear his name, my heart stops beating for a few second. The fact that he always walks with his staff is the scariest thing about his presence. I hope and wish that he doesn't bring his staff to the arena. I cannot deal with the hit anymore. Maybe it will be a lot easier if he wants us to fight without involving any weapons. "I was not supposed to arrive here before you. I cannot tolerate lateness. Lateness is one of my sworn enemies, and that was why I made it to this place in just 10 years, beating the record and become the fastest person to have advanced the rank in history. I was once like you, but the difference between me and some of the people I started with is that they were not bothered by the lateness," Shalf says
J A S O N'S P O V We spent a lot of time before getting here. It is night now. I complained all the way here, because I blamed Crane for wasting our time. We could have made it to this place a lot earlier if he had not proven difficult while I was trying to prove to him that Minato was taken. It was a big job trying to convince him to help me find my brother who got magically missing. I did not only lose my brother to that incident, I also lost my very expensive car. The car is not much of a problem, especially because I have a couple cars in my garage which are even more expensive than the one I lost, and to make it even better, I have that same model which is about the same price in my garage as well. But unfortunately, Minato cannot be replaced, and he is not in the garage. We reach the exact spot of the road where it all happened and I speak to Crane who is driving, "This is the place. This is the place where it happened. we must stop here at this point," I say to him and he
C E N T R A L C I TY, E R E G O N Shalf made sure to stay away from me all the while I stood at the arena. He was confused, and above all, I think he was extremely afraid of me because of the manifestation of my special gift which was given to me for taken the mortal rune. It seemed like he has never seen anything like it. It is obvious that he hasn't seen this kind of gift anywhere else, I don't know if his actions and expression was exaggerated, but from the way he looked, I could tell that he has not seen a skill like mine before. In the midst of everything that has happened today, about Jason and Mom lying to me3 all these time, I find a little peace knowing that Shalf would stay away from me for a while, and even if he isn't scared enough to stop coming close to me, he will definitely reduce the rate at which he makes me go through the so called DESCIPLINE. "Yes, that he would definitely do. she might not be afraid of you yet, but he is definitely surprised at what you have
C E N T R A L C I T Y, E R E G O NI push the door open and that very moment, the three of them rises to their feet before I can even cross the threshold of the door and join them at the table where the three of them are sitting. Their eyes are on me, and with the look on their faces, I feel like they are all angry at me for what I did to Shalf. Maybe they somehow are mad at me for hurting my teacher in the process. "Why are they looking at me this way?" I say to Delil in my thought and she sighs. It seems like she is also surprised at their facial expression, and maybe she doesn't understand them as well and is as confused as I am. "I am as confused as you are. I thought they all were going to be happy that you are growing. But it seems like I thought wrong, anyway, we are going to find out what it is if we get to the table. We should hurry up to the table first," Delil says and I nod. They all have a stern look worn over their faces, and it scares me to even greet them. I walk
C E N T R A L C I T Y, E R E G O NI bow slightly, and as I am about to walk out of the place and go to my room, Coria calls my name, and I turn back to her and she signals me to wait for her to join me. I turn back to face the entrance as I wait for her and just when I begin to hear her footsteps closing up from behind me, I turn around and I see that she is now walking beside me. Together, we exit the dining room and we walk through the passage. . .Silence floods our midst as no one has spoken a word ever since we left the dining room. I was hoping she was going to speak to me, I was waiting for her to say a word but she is not saying anything. "I know your mouth still hurts and I would like to help you clean it and apply some medicine. I feel it would help you heal up quickly," Coria says as we approach my door and I sigh. "No, you do not have to worry about that. I can take care of myself. Thank you for offering to help me," I say to her. "Do you even know how to get warm wa
CENTRAL CITY, EREGON. Coria cleaned me up while I was telling her everything that I found out about Jason not being my brother. I bet if she knows what it feels like for me, but I know one thing, she is a good listener. She left just a few moments ago, and now she must be with Kilish and Ral as they are all waiting for me at the library. I had to go to the bathroom to take a bath, and now I am only covered by the piece of fabric that is wrapped around my waist. The first thing that comes to mind is for me to go and stand by the mirror. I do not waste time following my thoughts, and it took me about half a minute to go before the me and get a clear reflection of myself. I still look the same, just like I left home. The only thing that is different between the man staring back at me in the mirror and the man that first came into this world days ago, is the run. The skin on which it was drawn has healed, but the scar it left is still very significant, and that is the rune. I have neve
Behold! All I thought I saw something big from the outside, but now that I am fully in the library, I can see that I only saw the tip of an iceberg from the entrance. It is a whole wider than I thought it was from the outside. “Welcome to the library, San’xi. I know you have not been here before, but believe this place has a lot of questions as well as answers. It contains all the knowledge about this place. All the gifts that are shared, all the runes in this system, all the individuals that are or were here. Dead or alive, they all have a profile here. But the only thing that is missing here are the runes that are available to you. It only has a book written a decade ago, which I wrote after receiving the prophecy that Nakamura’s son was going to be the mortal who would be given automatic access into Eregon and bear the mortal rune. This book contains so many things, and it has a lot about you in it. I would want you to have a look into this book,” Kilish says to me and my brows dr
CRANE'S APARTMENT.JASON'S POVI have not really gone anywhere else apart from Crane's apartment. Crane and I have been trying to work on something. He has brought up so many ideas in the past few hours. All through the night, we were up thinking of our next step. Mom called a multiple time asking to speak with Minato, but I told her that he lost his phone while trying to catch up with the interview. And I told her that Minato got the job just to make her happy. She called a few hours after that to speak with him again and I told her that Jason was already asleep but had sent his regards before going to bed. I feel bad lying to her and hiding the truth from her but there is absolutely nothing I can do but lie and lie and keep lying. I cannot find a way to tell her that her son got missing and it was not ordinary but a supernatural being was responsible for the abduction. How would that sound to a mother? I don't know what to say to her because I know she'd probably want to kill herse
