If you look to your left, you will see a very thick bush and the same thing when you look to you right. Up front looks like an endless path screaming silently in the ears of those coming towards it. 'run! run' The path is most creepy at night. When the insects and night agents are at full strength and the shadows up front forming into different creepy things that reminds you of those horror movies you've seen. The same can't be said for these two knights who have known the name this path bears and can walk about it at any time of the day. They are coming from one of their knighthood adventures. Returning like proud warriors. Legends!. As they recount the tales and all that happened on this great adventure. "I killed Dave but he keeps standing back up". One of the Knights lamented as they continue their journey back to their kingdom. " I'm not even going to engage them in battle again" reported the other. "They never keep to rules" the knight concluded.
It was pitch dark in the vault. I could hardly see the person next to me. Master Leao was the only one with a source of light amongst us and he was at the front. When Jane entered first, Katie followed, Rio and Alex went after her and I was the last person to go in, so I was at the back of the group. I was struggling to keep up with the others as I place my feet on every step.The stairs were narrow and curved in an S shape. The space got larger when we got to the larger part of the stairs and it opened to another big hall. The hall was empty and our voices echoed as we speak. There was nothing notable about the hall as it looks like the one that is up. Master Leao led the way to a rigid-looking iron door on one side of the hall. The door has a wheel at its center and requires a pattern to be unlocked.Master Leao went ahead and made some marks on the wheel. The wheel began to roll on its own after Master Leao finished whatever thing that he was doing on it and soon after the door
Lewis and the seniors did as I have told them. They wouldn't intend to flaunt my words remembering what I did to them.They did so well that the school got a hang of the things happening even before they reported themselves. If Lewis decides to report Alex now, then he will most likely not be believed.The school found it weird that the students came out and reveal themselves. Just like that!. The bruises on Lewis had raised suspicions but they wouldn't dare to reveal the person behind it.The students that have been robbed off their food items got their items back and Alex's situation was solved that way. The situation was a lot easier to handle than I thought.The next day was the day we were meant to meet Master Leao. I didn't bother to look for more students to take the number to 7. The lesser the better. I had passed information across to all the members the previous day. It was something easy as we are all in the martial arts class. I most times have Jane by my side, Alex has b
"Your time's up," I said.If the other students are as strong as Lewis, then I might have trouble dealing with all of them at once. There are four of them and just me after all.I never wanted them to accept my offer and I didn't expect them to either. They may accept to return the things they collected from the students and also promise me that they won't report Alex but it won't be something that can be guaranteed. They may accept just because they are scared of my appearance and the fact that I discovered them, but all of that could be thrown away along with their promises once my back is turned. The best way to resolve this is to beat them to submission.I walk towards them, one step after another, slowly, making each step as terrifying as possible. They were bedazzled by my act of arrogance and were still in a daze when I got to the first person.I flung my legs across the average-weight boy, adding enough strength so he won't be getting back up to cause more trouble. I was lef
People having powers has become a myth in this age. It has become something we read in books, see in pictures, and just wow about them.We have been taught that the people who created Silverland were powerful and that it was through their powers that they defeated all the strong and dangerous beasts on the land at that time. It has been said that some people still have the powers like these people today. I never thought I would ever see one and if I did, I wouldn't have thought it would be a student in my school."Lewis and the seniors know about it" Alex whispered. "They know I have powers. I haven't told anyone in this school except you, so I don't know how they found out""How do you know that they know? Did they tell you or something?" I asked.Before Lewis and the others found out that Alex has some kind of powers, he has always been subjected to bullies. They will take some of his food and let him do work for them.Alex doesn't know how they found out that he has powers but it
The students were starting to leave after the fight ended. It fight has become a new trend among the students in martial arts class. The student had jumped from number 52 to number 4. It was probably the greatest leap ever by a student.Lewis got off the floor after some time. He dusts off his cloth like nothing happened and left the hall silently. He was no longer in pain, it looks like so.The boy was still standing in the same spot when everyone left. He didn't do any celebration whatsoever when he won the fight and he just stood there still looking as feeble as when he was walking up to the stage.After a while, Master Leao went to do his own thing and almost all the students had left the hall then. The boy finally left the hall.I told Jane to go ahead and not wait for me. She protested that she wanted to follow me but the boy might not be comfortable if we meet him together so I asked her to stay behind.Something looks to be troubling the boy. The fight didn't seem to have sett
I was still bleeding when the hooded person left. The cut was a little bit deep but I tore a part of my cloth and cover the wound with it. I lay on the floor having lost so much blood already. The energy surprisingly has not turned off. It was still active. This time though, it was not growing. It has been at a standstill for some time now, perhaps, since I was cut. It wasn't supplying me with an insane amount of energy like during a fight. The energy has rather gathered around my chest and it was somehow healing the wound from inside.I decided to stay on the rooftop for some time before returning to my dorm. I was feeling weak and end up falling asleep. Blood had stopped coming out of the wound when I woke up. It was healing as well. The energy was still active but it was reducing rapidly. It was like it gets used up as the wound heals.I untied the cloth on the wound after some time and it was at a point where I would not feel a lot of pain from it. I left the rooftop past midni
Some people would jump at kind opportunities that guarantee them power over other humans. It is human nature. Humans crave power. They want to have dominion over other people and exploit them in the long run. I do not wish to be Rio's boss. I have never wanted to be. I proposed the deal to be his boss so I could keep him away from my things in the future. If I accept to be his boss and start ordering him around, then I would be just like those that I loathe so much.Rio was still kneeling in front of me. I was at a loss for words initially, and so did Katie and Jane. "We didn't bring you here because of the deal you guys made," Jane said "It is for an entirely different purpose and it'll be nice if you listen to us first. You can sort out your issues later."I was glad that Jane bailed me out of that so I quickly backed her."That's true. Let's talk about that later," I said and helped Rio back to his feet. "Promise us you won't reveal whatever thing that will be said here to anyon
I intend to get the five or seven people Master Leao had asked me to select as soon as possible. I already have Jane and Katie in mind so I just need to look for two more people at least.I rushed to the dorm as I had told Jane. I met her waiting on my bunk. She was the only one in the room as none of my roommates are in the room at that time."Let's go to the rooftop" I requested.It was twilight. Students have finished every activity for the day and are making preparations for dinner. The view from the rooftop is grandiose. The students walking around the school, the high buildings around the school, and the bushes beyond the school building."It is beautiful. Isn't it?" Jane asked."What's that" I replied."The view from this place. The serenity. The sky, those few stars, the wind, and everything. They are beautiful, aren't they?" Jane asked as the wind blew her hair over her face."They are," I said. "It's the serenity that bothers me though.""I'm sure you brought me here for a r
Master Leao is always at the martial arts hall. That is his office and he rarely leaves there, except at nights. Most times, when you enter the martial arts hall, you either meet Master Leao punching thin air while doing back flips and sending kicks mid-air or sitting with his legs crossed inside and his hands stretched out making a V shape.That's Master Leao in summary. Train, train, and train. He would spar with everyone in class standing on one spot and anyone who manages to make him move a leg would be given something. We would put our all into the spar with him, and fight like our lives depend on it. For sure, we know Master Leao was a man of his word and his gift would not be little either so we fight for the reward.Only one student has managed to make Master Leao move his legs. Notwithstanding that it was through sly means. That student was me.I had offered to spar with the master that day. I was bent on making him move a leg and a good idea popped up in my head. 'As long
