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
CENTRAL CITY, EREGON Kilish slept, beads of sweat forming on his forehead as he traversed a wilderness in his dream, running for his life from a faceless demon known as the Gur. This demon sought him for nothing other than the power he possessed, which could be used to open the portal to Earth. The main cause of the war between Kilish and Xenark was this; Xenark aimed to invade Earth, rain war on humans, and take over. However, Kilish, stubborn and aided by the light warriors, had fended him off so far. But what now? In his dream, Kilish fled from the Gur, a higher-ranking demon with powers almost equivalent to Killish’s. The Gur, immensely powerful, could allegedly suck out the powers of those it gripped. “Killish! You are at the crossroads here. You have to choose between your life and giving me the key,” the Gur growled as Kilish reached the cliff's edge. The deep water below was nothing other than the water of death, capable of killing any immortal. Kilish faced a choice: either
EARTH Jason felt the urge to ask Crane to step away from the wheel so he could drive instead. He has never felt so much pressure as his life. "Come on man, maybe I should drive" he finally spoke his mind. waiting for Crane to respond. He already knew he had just wasted his words on that one. Crane would never let anyone drive him, especially not in this state of panic. "Why, so you can get us both killed, am I right?" Crane spoke after a minute of awkward silence. "We're almost there anyway. Patience!"he added as he made another turn to his right. The car came to a stop. It was a quiet area, with a single building which is likely to be a warehouse from it's outlook. There was another car, a black car a couple of feet away. Crane would recognise that ride anytime, anywhere. "Is that your guy?"Jason had to ask. By merely looking at him, he could tell he was a typical mutant even without being told. He does not look like one who would be ready to move at their own pace. He looks
EARTH Of course they left in so much hurry that he could not process things properly. Still, he of all people should have done better. "If you do not have anything of his, then I'm sorry, there is nothing I can do to help the situation." Bret spoke to Crane expecting him to understand the situation. "Bret, we can go get something. But it might take more time to get it to you right here. May I suggest that you come with is instead" Crane asked, even though he knew Bret has his reservation about such. "Crane, you know I can't say No to helping you out, that's why I'm here. I owe you a lifetime of favor. But I'm trying to keep my head down. I'm trying to lay low." He took a deep breath "The best I can do I reschedule this meeting" he added It hit Jason as he remembered one minor detail he had overlooked "wait! I, I think I have his phone with me" Jason said as he tapped all over the front of his jacket for Minato's cell phone. "Oh! here it is, he left it in the car when he was f
EARTH Jason's ringtone blasted in the background, as he made his way back to bed from the restroom. Picking up the phone from the bed, he didn't need to check the identity of the caller. "Hello, Crane!" He croaked in a very sleepy voice. Jason barely had an hour long sleep. He spent the entire night brainstorming on the way forward on finding Minato. It was not just the case, The event which surrounded the disappearance of his brother has traumatized him greatly. "Got a text from Bret. He wants to meet up around 8am. I'll forward the location to you right away. See you around" The call ended as directly as it started. That is Crane's lifestyle, Straight to the point. Looking at the time on his phone It's 6:45am already. "Ouch my head!" the sudden pressure on his head is definitely a result of his stressful day and sleepless night. He fell back unto the bed holding his head. Jason was never one to endure stress. But in this case, he realizes he has to get up despite the migrai
