Fighting was not something Mason was specialized in , he had lived most of his life being bullied by others in school and not retaliating, to the extent that he had learnt to always ignore these bullies no matter how much they tried to get to him. Not like if he was to retaliate, It would make much difference, he wasn't a fighter so he would just end up getting hurt. But somehow, recently he had been in a few fights and somehow he had triumphed. Was it luck? .Of course it wasn't luck, it was just his quick thinking, Mason was an intelligent fellow, he might not have realized this before but right now it seemed the initiation trials were actually bringing out his potential, figuring out what he was good at and putting it into proper use.He had avoided fighting all his life, always staying on his own but it seemed fighting here in this weird place he found himself was inevitable, he just had to fight if he was going to survive.As Mason stood there watching the five men in black sta
Sitting in the living room was Lalisa, she was home alone and bored, and had decided to watch a tv series, which she was currently doing, a pack of popcorn in her hands as she watched. Her hands thru grains after grains into her mouth from time to time, as she chewed and swallowed enjoying the movie. It was until she heard a voice , one that she had gotten really familiar with, one that seemed to hunt her regularly in her dreams. As soon as lalisa heard this voice she jumped up from the couch , quickly tidying the place, and picking up a few stray popcorn which had mistakenly dropped on the ground.Of course the owner of this voice was none other than her lover, sir Fred, lalisa had been so into the movie that she had not heard him drive into the gate, not until he was already at the mouth of the door that her ears had picked the distinct sound of his voice. But there was something Lalisa noticed, sir Fred was not alone, there was a high pitched female voice which chuckled and gigg
Outside , where the council members had gathered, eyes glued to the scene of Mason in the trial room which was still displaying on the tv. They were all shocked as usual, they had all underestimated the young master, he had actually been the youngest out of the past Stark leaders to partake in the initiation trial and yet he had somehow been the one with the best results so far. They were surprised by how Mason was able to predict that the large building would actually be where the five masked men had entered , normally people would find this building too big for something like an antidote to be kept. They would also feel lazy thinking of the stress they would face climbing to the top of the building, a thing that won't even take more than 15mins , but humans would always be humans. The building was a ten storey building so normally they would go for a few of the buildings with lower floors first before finally deciding to climb this one. That was actually one thing that wasted t
A white classy vehicle could be seen entering the gates of the Starks estate, its glass a dark tint, and inside this vehicle was a beauty with silver hair. Her beautiful hair ran down the sides of her shoulders, Aliyah had a high rank in the Phoenix, she was Gabriel's younger sister, so naturally she was next in command after Gabriel. Aliyah had not been the type to always show off, most times she even went out with a mask covering her face and hair, which was what she had done the first time she met with Mason at the alley. The reason for doing all this was because Aliyah was the type that prefers keeping a low profile about her status which makes her anonymous to many. Although everyone knows about the silver haired Phoenix princess, yes Phoenix princess that's what they call her. majority of them didn't even know what she looked like, they only knew she had silver hair. Many had even walked past her on the road without even knowing that they had just walked past the Phoenix pr
Defeating the three masked men was not a walk in the park, although it may seem somewhat easy on the outside, Mason himself knew he had put in alot of work to accomplish this.Being someone who had avoided violence all his life, finding himself in a situation whereby he didn't have a choice but to face his fears rather than run away from them. In the outside world , all what Mason had did here, he still doubts if he would be able to do all that out there. In here it was more like a survival of the fittest, although it was the same outside but it wasn't as clear as it was in here. The initiation trial had been design to bring out the potentials of the participant, and also prepare them for the outside world. If one could survive in the initiation trial, there was no situation in the outside world that they won't be able to come out from.The participant would not even know that they were going through a trial, because if they knew they wouldnt put in their all, some may feel relaxed
Two people could be seen dashing towards each other and then they collided, Mason was no fighter but at the moment he was shocked with the things he himself was doing. 'Was it because he was in a life and death situation that his body was reacting this way or what was the reason for this' he wonderedOf course it was because this was a life and death situation, the young master's brain was calculating and thinking so fast, even faster than Mason thought he could. As they collide, his brain was already thinking, predicting the masked man's next move , it was happening so quickly that Mason had to wonder, not like he was expecting to be beaten so easily but with the swift way the masked man was throwing his punches, he was shocked that atleast he was able to avoid them on time.Docking to the left a fist came to his right, Mason avoided it and then another fist came to the left when he quickly docked to the right this time on instinct and was able to avoid that also.Throwing a fist o
Since Mason got into the ten storey building, it has been from one fighting to another, luckily he had successfully taken out four of the masked men leaving him with the last one who was currently standing in front of him with a knife in his right hand.His eyes glued to Mason like he was a thief who had just stolen from him and was about to get away. Mason himself could see the bloodsot red eyes of the masked man, instantly Mason knew this would be a tough fight, it would be far tougher than the previous. Mason who was already a little tired from his previous fights, not just the fights but somehow he could already feel the effect of the venom seeping into his bones which of course meant that the second antidote was already wearing off. If only he could figure out where the third antidote was, before settling for this fight. Mason had never thought that he would be getting into the final battle with the fifth masked man immediately he finished with the fourth. The man had rushed i
Before entering or rather beginning the initiation, no one in the council had thought that Mason would be able to complete the stages at all more or less this fast. The young master was actually oblivious to the fact that he had caused a kind of stir outside. In the meeting room, the council members could be seen talking, some shocked about the incredible things Mason had achieved , some were even still not convinced that the young master had done all this without any external help. Some groups of the council were bent on the fact that someone had informed Mason about what would happen inside the trial room before he even entered. Although this matter was not that serious, the council was divided into two groups,with someone questioning Mason's victories in the trial room and others in support, of course Claire and old Greg were a part o those in support of Mason's victories. Mason had finished the second stage of his initiation and was about to enter the third and final stage ,
Now that she have successfully left the house, lalisa couldn't be more happier, in her mind she knew she needed to do this quick and fast, which was why as she stepped on the pedal, she had zoomed off with a high speed, cruising through the streets until she had finally pulled up at the front of a place which she once called home, a place which held a lot of memories. " Well let's see what we got here" lalisa said to herself as she got down from the vehicle. The pregnant lady was putting on a gown, one that was free, hiding her protruding belly from the prying eyes of pedestrians on the street. As she walked closer to the gate, lalisa took a deep breath, breathing in and out , seeing gently placing her hands on the aluminum gate, giving it a slight push and as she did that, it pushed open with ease , clearly indicating that it wasn't locked. Lalisa wasn't really surprised by this as if she could recall, the gate hadn't been locked at the time when she left. After looking left and r
It's been a while since she had a proper nap, but she had just had one today, as lalisa laid on the soft mattresses, her eyelid slid open, she had been sleeping for a while and had just woken up. Lalisa had actually listened to her doctor, and she had followed his advice, for the past few days, the pregnant lady had been going to the hospital for her antenatal care, which was very important, and with the way lalisa was feeling lately, she could confirm that it was indeed truly import for her. That wasn't all, the doctor had advised that lalisa rest a lot and stay away from hard works, stress that would be harmful to her pregnancy and she had done that too, all thanks to her mom who had tried so much to be around lalisa so much lately, most times the woman would leave to work late in the morning and return early, just to be with lalisa, what had happened to lalisa had scared the woman that she didn't want anything to happen to her daughter again. The doctor had also told Lalisa to ta
Mr X could be seen matching into a corridor, after taking a deep breath he pulled the Door knob and then walked inside the room. Right there inside the room, Mr X could see Nicholas sleeping on the bed , he hadn't woken up yet, an Mr X didn't even know if he wanted Nicholas to wake up or not, he just stood there staring a him,looking at the boy for sometime, he took a stool and sat beside the bed, staring at the boy. " I wish it didn't have to happen this way " Mr X said to himself as he stared at Nicholas. Mr X still had the mask on his face, the mask of the bull which he wears every time, he hardly take it off , he only do that when he was around those who already knows what he looked like.. for those who don't know how or what he looked like, they thought maybe he was hiding a scar on his face or maybe he just don't want anyone to know what he looked like. Rumors had even circulated that Mr X was fred at one point in time, since Fred's body had not been found, this was why Clai
right in a particular area in the forest, a fight was going on, the group had dropped their weapons so had Nicholas, and right now Nicholas could be seen jumping into the air delivering a kick to one of the men's face, sending the man to the ground, Nicholas had always been good with his legs and fistand overall fighting skills, and right now those fighting skills were coming in handy. yet Another man was rushing to attack from behind Nicholas and he was quick to move out of the way, the man missed as his fist went straight ahead, connecting to the skull of his team member, punching the man on the head as he staggered backwards, docking to the ground, Nicholas attacked with an uppercut, sending the strike to the skull of the chin of the man as he staggered backwards and fell to the ground. " Y'all should back down now or else? " Nicholas warned, taking his stance again ready for anyone who dares attack. " Or else what? , We are taking you to Mr X whether you like it or not, you hav
Having friends was not as bad as she had thought, Maggie had thought it was a bit deal to make friends, but surprisingly she had actually fell for Aliya, with every passing minute the two spent together, maggie couldn't help but cherish it, Aliya was the only friend she have had so far and she could say it was one of the best moments of her life, she love it when Aliya smiled, she loved the joked she made, see love every single thing that aliyah did and she was very certain that Aliya felt the same way for her. The hunting which they had embarked on had been a successful one, in fact they had killed something that was impossible for them to carry home, this as the antelope , the same antelope which Aliya had shit, going against Maggie's instructions on shooting the antelope even before Maggie's would complete her statement. Even with this Maggie love grew more fir Aliya and as it is now, she would gladly Lay down her life for the phoenix princess if it was to come to that. The ant
Outside a tent, a few people were present, none other than Mason, Claire, Gibson, Peter, Jackson, Abby, Chris, Spider, Sylvester and the chief commander of the government army James A. Milley. They had all gathered outside a tent as they wanted to hear about the news Jackson and Abby had brought. Earlier they had mentioned something about a trial an the they had said they knew where Aliya was been held. , Nowone knows how true this was. But jackson and Abby where part of mason's elite group so they were to be trusted, there was no need for panicing or fear of falling into the enemies trap. " You mentioned that you found a trail, and that trail led you both to where Aliya was being held ? " Mason washed as he stared at Jackson, after all Jackson had been the one to give this report and not abby." Yes my lord, that's true. But the thing is we are not totally sure Aliya is in there, but there is a probability that she is kept there, " Jackson explained, and immediately Jackson finished
In the deep area of the forest, two ladies could be seen , one of them holding a pistol while the other wasn't, ofcourse Maggie was the one with the pistol while Aliya on the other hand was not holding any weapons, except for the little knife she had found covered in a pile of dried leaves, according to her, it might come in handy in a dire situation. Right now the two ladies were in the first for a hunt, they have been walking for a while and they haven't seen any animals." Do you think we would find anything, I mean it has been so quiet since we entered the forest, I don't think there is life out here " Aliya complained as she paused with both hands on her waist. " Shhh, you should stay quiet, look carefully to your right " Maggie whispered as she stretched her gun Forward, gently focusing it in the direction which she had just mentioned to aaliyah. As Aaliyah followed Maggie's hands with her gaze,her eyes widened as two squirrels could be seen running on a tree branch , they bo
It was morning already, probably 5am or 6. The morning came with a fug, one which filled the whole environment outside. It had also brought a cold to the environment, making everyone put on their cardigans and sweaters. Maggie had just woken up, as some as hr eyelid slid open, she was met with a sleeping Aliya who was sleeping peacefully beside her on the mattress like a little baby, her hair covered a part of her face, even if it was parked into a ponytail the night before, little strands of it had left the pack , resting on her face with the ends on the bed, Maggie could'bt deny the fact that Aliya was beautiful, if she was ama see would have want her all to herself, but as luck wanted to have it, she was not a man but a woman. Getting up on her feet, Maggie was careful not to wake up the sleeping princess or rather sleeping beauty. Sheslowky walked into the bathroom and took her bath, after a while she walked out of the bathroom with just her undies, immediately she walked out
At the small house which looked like a storeroom or Warehouse, two ladies were present, they were seated on the stools in the room having dinner as they were in the middle of a conversation. " Uhm you mentioned you were lost? " Aliyah asked as he bit down on a piece of meat which was placed on a small plate in front of her. " Uhuh , I was lost, at first I thought I was gonna die, but I was able to escape from the area where the rest of my team were killed , killed by this creature which I can't fathom, a creature which had four arms, how was it possible to defeat such a creature, I fear for the others right now " Abbie said as she shook her head." I can imagine, you know I have been in the black bulls' custody for a long time , I have even lost track of time, I don't really know how long I have been there, " Aliyah said, taking a sip from the mashed fruit drink which was made by Maggie. " You must have suffered a lot , were you hurt in any way? You know what I mean " Maggie said,
