2022-12-15 00:11:32Ryn and Noah opened their eyes and saw they were in a strange large room built with rocks, they both sit up and wondered where they are. Ryn and Noah looked around the room as they stood up, they saw a throne and a well in the room.
Ryn asked Noah ''where the hell are we?''.''I was going to ask the same question'' said Noah.''You are in Gathride'' said a voice behind them.They both looked back and saw a lady dressed in a blue gown and a crown on her head. The lady walked past Ryn and Noah as they confusingly stared at her and went to sit on the throne.''Where did you say we are again?'' Noah asked the lady.''You are in Gathride'' said the lady to Noah and Ryn.''And where is that?'' asked Ryn.''Gathride is a kingdom that is beneath the water, you are beneath the water'' said the lady.''Wait, beneath the water, are you saying we are under the river?'' asked Noah.''Yes but not under the river only. Our kingdom expands to the ocean and sea'' said the lady.''Are you a mermaid?'' asked Ryn.''No am not but am the one who brought you both here" said the lady.''So you are the one that made the water came through the cave, the singing, and the one that drowned us?'' asked Ryn.''The singing yes but didn't drown you, as you can see you are still alive. I only did that to bring you both here'' said the lady.''If this is a dream please wake me up'' said Noah in disbelief.''This isn't a dream king Noah'' said the lady.''Am not a King, and how did hell did you bring us here, and how did know my name?'' asked Noah.''You will know why I called you that one day, and I was able to bring you both here because I have the power to'' said the lady.''there is so much I don't know about this world, first the Shape town and now Gathride which exist beneath the water and its habitat is human. What the hell is going on in this world'' said Noah confused.''There is a lot you don't know your royal majesty and you will know all one day'' said the lady.''Please don't address me as a king. And who are you really?'' asked Noah.''Am the goddess of water and the queen of Gathride, you can call me Queen Lindsey '' said the lady.''Okay, let me process for a bit'' said Noah.Noah thought for some seconds and said to Queen Lindsey ''you are the goddess of water and the Queen of Gathride named Lindsey. You are the one that brought us here, you even knew my name even without me telling you and addressed me as a king, so am gonna be asking questions. First, I want to know how you know my name, why you address me as a king, why are we brought here, and how come humans live beneath water''.''I know you will have a lot of questions to ask which I will answer but before that, there is something I need to tell you'' said Queen Lindsey.''What's that?'' asked Noah.''Marcelos will be awakened, and the world and I will need your help'' said Queen Lindsey.''That is impossible, Marcelos will never be awake'' said Noah.''No one can change the future, Noah. Marcelos will be awakened and the world has to be prepared for him and you too'' said Queen Lindsey.''What do you mean by me too preparing for Marcelos?'' asked Noah.''When the time comes you will know that also. Your forefather gave me something very important to keep, and am sure you know the story of King Damon who is also one of your forefathers'' said Queen Lindsey.''Yes I do'' said Noah.''I knew King Damon when he was alive and we fought together against Marcelos'' said Queen Lindsey.''You knew King Damon?'' asked Noah surprised and confused.''Yes, I do and I tried to warn him then but he didn't listen'' Queen Lindsey.''That is impossible, we are talking about a thousand years ago. How could you know him and still be alive not to talk of warning him against what?'' asked Noah."We have to get out of here now, this lady is crazy'' said Ryn to Noah."Shut your filthy mouth shape-shifter. Your father was also the root of what happened and that caused the banishment of the shape-shifter too'' said Queen Lindsey to Ryn.''What did she just call you and what does she mean by your father is the root of what happened?'' Noah asked Ryn.''I don't what she is talking about, and my father has nothing to do with nothing. I told you this lady is crazy and she is saying rubbish'' said Ryn to Noah.''I have been watching you for a long time now Ryn. Every time you come to the waterfall you always tell the water your troubles and your wishes, and I always listen to them. There is a lot you don't know about your father, your brother kept a lot from you'' said Queen Lindsey to Ryn.''Can you please shed light on all that is going on'' said Noah to Queen Lindsey.''Thousand years back, Ryn's father Jack, me, King Damon, and Marcelos were all friends.....'' said Queen Lindsey.Queen Lindsey was cut short of words as Noah cut in ''You mean Marcelos and King Damon were friends?'' asked Noah surprised.''Yes. Back then we were all young and we never thought our fun and happy days will ever come to an end. Marcelos and Damon were the only ones that possessed magical powers and were best friends, the bond and love they had for each other was so strong that people do call them brothers. Damon was a prince of Axrax and Marcelos was a son of the great wizard of then, and they were both trained together by Marcelos's father on how to use their magical power.I was the only heir to becoming the leader of my people after the death of my father. I was so young and didn't want to become the leader, so roaming the city of Axrax was my hobby then and that was how I met Damon. I and Damon fell in love and he showed me to his friend which was Jack and Marcelos.Together we both spent our day having fun not worrying what was happening around us or what people talked about us. Then Marcelos went on a journey and returned home with a dragon egg and a dragon gene. Marcelos showed us the dragon gene and the dragon egg, and we were all happy that we will be seeing a dragon in our lifetime but we all don't know what the dragon gene was about.....'' said Queen Lindsey.Queen Lindsey was cut short of words as Noah cut in ''What is a dragon gene?'' asked Noah.''It was a magical ball and inside of the ball are powers from the dragon that humans can possess, and having that powers will make you be linked to the dragon.It wasn't long before the dragon egg hatched and we were all happy to see a dragon after many years of extinction. Marcelos raised the dragon like his own child and named her Ethusa'' said Queen Lindsey.''So Ethusa belonged to Marcelos?'' asked Ryn.''Yes. As Ethusa was growing, we began to use her to make money. We collected money from anyone who will love to see Ethusa and told them to keep the secret from the authority so Ethusa won't be taken from us.Damon began to grow jealous of Marcelos when people seem to give Marcelos more attention and respect than anyone because of the dragon. Then Damon went to the palace library and learned about dragons, he also found out what the dragon gene is about. After Damon learned about the dragon gene he told me and Jack about it, and that he shall make the dragon his, and people shall divert all their attention toward him and respect him as a prince that has a dragon.I told him not to do that, that the dragon belong to Marcelos and not him, and if he took the Dragon it might result in a dispute between them. But Jack sided with Damon and told him a prince should be the one to have a dragon, not a wizard.At that same time, Marcelos had just learned about the dragon gene from the oldest wizard of then. But when Marcelos got back home, he saw that Damon already took the magical ball and had already absorbed the dragon gene power inside the magical ball, and he had also been linked to Ethusa.Marcelos got angry on seeing what happened and asked why Damon took what was his but Damon said the dragon and its power should be owned by royal blood, and that he is going to keep Ethusa safe. Marcelos said to Damon that he trusted him but he betrayed him and took the only thing he cared about Damon insisted the dragon should be with him not Marcelos. Damon took Ethusa with him as he left and Marcelos tried to call Ethusa back but he couldn't, that broke Marcelos' heart and their friendship.....'' said queen Lindsey.

Queen Lindsey continued ''After Damon took Ethusa to the palace, Marcelos was heartbroken and cried for days. Marcelos said to himself that he will not accept what Damon did and that he must take Ethusa back no matter what it takes. Marcelos went to Damon and told him to give back the dragon gene power and Ethusa but Damon said no and that Ethusa belong by his side not his. Marcelos got angry and challenged Damon to a fight in five days and that whosoever win the fight will have Ethusa and the dragon gene, Damon accepted the challenge.I tried to talk Damon out of it and that he should give back the dragon and dragon gene power to Marcelos but he said no that Marcelos challenged him and he will show Marcelos what he is made of.

Noah was surprised and shocked on seeing his eyes yellow in the water, he took his eye off the water and walked away from the well. Noah said to queen Lindsey ''no, this can't be me. This is another trick of your'', in disbelief.''That is you. It is a hard truth you must accept and you have changed into a half dragon once'' said queen Lindsey.''No that is impossible.

King Raynold (shocked and surprised once again) stood up from his throne finding it hard to believe what Zussorender said and walked to Zussorender. King Raynold stopped in front of Zussorender and said to him ''this can't be possible, how come he has the dragon gene in him''. ''I think he was born with it. Since King Damon was the only one that possessed the dragon gene and you are from his bloodline same is prince Noah, so it must have been passed on to him'' said Zussorender. ''If it had been continuously passed on through generation, how come there is no record of anyone having the dragon gene and its power?'' asked King Raynold. ''That may be because the dragon gene stayed hidden in them and didn't manifest. But it manifested in Noah'' said Zussorender. King Raynold (

HOW HE DID IT II
FLASHBACK While the sword remained inside Kinsley's right chest, Hawk’s duplicate tried to thrust the sword deeper blade but Kinsley's hands that were holding the sword prevented the sword from going in any deeper. Even as Kinsley's hands were bleeding from the cut the sword made in his palms, Kinsley still refused to let the sword go deeper into his right chest and he had to endure whatever pain he was feeling at that moment if he wanted to remain alive. However, at that same time, Kinsley was hearing what Kylie, Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Tracy, Mike, Hawk, and Camelia were talking about, so when Kinsley heard Hawk say that there was no way he could defeat the skill, Kinsley felt he was gonna die at that moment. Kinsley's heart and mind felt that he was gonna die at that moment, but Kinsley being someone who mostly uses his brain changed his fate. Kinsley's brain doesn't think that was the end for Kinsley even when Kinsley gave up by letting go of the sword blade
HOW HE DID IT
While Hawk was telling Kylie, Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Tracy, Mike, and Camelia about the skill he learn from the monks, Kinsley was busy trying to protect himself from Hawk's duplicate that was trying to get him to feel the wraith of its sword. Kinsley could not even listen to the others because he had to save himself from getting killed.Hawk’s duplicate was speedily attacking Kinsley with the sword in its hands, its elbows, its left fist, its feet, and its knees at the same time. Kinsley had no time to even think of anything or even a chance to hit Hawk's duplicate than to protect himself from getting killed since he was using his fists only to fight Hawk’s duplicate.The fight gets much more intense for Kinsley and even though he is defensive, Hawk's duplicate still manages to get its sword to cut him on his left arm. Kinsley would like to stop fighting at that moment because the fight was getting too much for him to handle, but he could not since he had begun t
Subconscious
Kylie, Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Kinsley, Hawk, Ryn, Tracy, Mike, and Camelia were now able to talk to each other physically since the duplicate can no longer mirror whatever it is that they do. The duplicates are still are still them but another them, not the mirror them. Immediately Hawk’s duplicate and Kinsley start to fight each other, Hawk begins to tell Kinsley everything he needs to know to be able to defeat Hawk's duplicate while Kylie, Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Hawk, Ryn, Tracy, Mike, and Camelia continues to watch, likewise the other duplicates. Hawk and Kinsley communicate through their minds so that the duplicates won't know what they are doing, but the others can hear them since the mind link is still active. Hawk tells Kinsley how Hawk’s duplicate would be attacking him and how defensive Kinsley had to be against Hawk's duplicate. While Kinsley fights Hawk's duplicate, he listens to all that Hawk is telling him which seems to be helping him a
HELL
Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Kinsley, Mike, Hawk, Ryn, Tracy, and Camelia truly did go through hell to defeat their duplicates. Talking about going through hell to defeat their duplicates sounds easy and they don’t find it that hell, not until they go through it.Kylie finds herself laughing at Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Kinsley, Mike, Hawk, Ryn, Tracy, and Camelia while they get bashed by the duplicates they are fighting. Kylie laughed out loud that they all could hear her laughing as they were getting beaten by their duplicates.Esther, Ramsay, Mike, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Kinsley, Hawk, Ryn, Tracy, and Camelia do not mind what Kylie is doing at that moment by making fun of them as they get beaten by their duplicates because they have to be serious not to get thrashed by their duplicates.Just like Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Kinsley, Hawk, Mike, Ryn, Tracy, and Camelia had expected and been told, they gave chances to their duplicates to hit them eve
Kylie Skills
What Kylie said when Mike asked her how she was able to defeat her duplicate confused Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk even though they were all already shocked that Kylie was able to defeat her duplicate.None of them would have believed it if they were told that Kylie would be able to defeat her duplicate and would be the first, but it only made Esther realize that there is more to Kylie that they all do not know about, which might be the way Kylie used to defeat her duplicate and something she had thought.Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk could only think what Kylie meant by going through hell was the only way she was able to defeat her duplicate and also why she is currently in pain and wounded. They came to understand that maybe going through hell is the only way to defeat their duplicates before they get killed.Even though Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Mike, Kinsl
Mirror
Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk fought their duplicate at the same time. No one had each other time because they were all busy fighting another of them. Fighting their duplicates was something they all thought was gonna be easy not until they were fighting themselves and they all realized that it was not what they had all thought. Esther thought it was gonna be easy to defeat herself while she attacked her duplicate, but it was kind of hard for her because her duplicate was doing the exact thing Esther did. If Esther decides to be defensive while fighting her duplicate to defeat it, the duplicate will also fight Esther back defensively, and If Esther is offensive as she fights her duplicate to defeat it, the duplicate will also fight Esther back offensively. Every move Esther makes, both offensive and defensive, as she fights her duplicate are the same moves the duplicate makes as she fights Esther back, including all the fig
DUPLICATES
Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk had to decide on who was going to fight whose duplicate, and the decision fell on Esther to decide since she would be the one to take responsibility for whatever happens.Since they would all be fighting each other duplicate in martial arts and swords, Esther made the pick based on everyone's physical abilities and skills when it comes to fighting. The others have to agree to whoever duplicate Esther chooses for each of them to fight and that is because they all could not bring themselves to make such a decision.Esther picked herself to fight Ramsay's duplicate because if there is ever anyone who can hold off Ramsay for as long as she can until she finds her way to defeat Ramsay, it has got to be her. Ramsay martial arts skills and swordsmanship skills are not what any of them could challenge, but Esther thinks she can manage for as long as she needs to defeat Ramsay, so she finds herself fit f
The Decision
Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk and their duplicates could be seen still staring at each other, but at the same time Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk were all talking to each other through their minds which is a connection that was created by Esther.Lilia said in her mind "what do you all think is going on?""I think that needs no explanation. The mountain made us fall unconscious and brought us to this sphere that could create one's duplicate. It is all the mountain doing" said Benjamin in his mind."I think the question should be how do we get out of here because it is still the same thing that will happen to our physical bodies if we remain here. Regardless of the illusion of whatever it is that we meet and face in here, our bodies will become food to the Syrics if we don't regain consciousness" said Mike worriedly in his mind."Mike said the right words for once in
Fake and Real
Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk were all shocked and confused when they saw their duplicates standing a few paces from them, and their duplicates were more like their reflections. Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk could see that their duplicates looked exactly like them with everything without any flaws that can be used to differentiate.Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk could see that there was no difference between them and their duplicates, and if they mistaken get mixed up with their duplicates, there is no way they would be able to identify the fake ones from the real ones so it better that they keep distance from the fake them not to create confusion.Esther, Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, Lilia, Ryn, Kylie, Mike, Kinsley, Tracy, Camelia, and Hawk wondered what it was that was going on but that doesn't mean that the
