The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty one: opportunity to make a mark
Special, what is it about me that seems so special? Thomas thought to himself. It was their goal to return home but from Ben's description it was the last runner that was predestined to complete the task so they had to find whoever he is and the answer to that might be with the king which they are on a journey to meet.To Thomas, 'The last runner,' is the true definition of special and not him."What about you, how did you meet Elise?" Thomas asked Jake whose eyes were still on him."Well… remember when I told you I knew Elise was a tough one." "Yeah,""I actually found that out on our first encounter. The first day i set my eyes on her I loved her, I knew she had feelings for me but was only playing hard to get," Thomas furrowed his eyebrows circumspectly and said. "Well how sure were you about that?" "She confessed when I decided to stop going after her," He answered.Wow! That was too much for Thomas, A girl's confession? Thomas couldn't bear it because he hated it when a girl w
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty two : The forty minutes countdown
The world was going to fail sooner or later and even though it doesn't, we will leave the planet some day and there is no telling where we were going to be next, it could be that we will return to dust or maybe our existence is beyond the freshly realm, it's almost just like what was happening in Thomas's world; Different dimensions with different impossible encounters,Who would know that such a place exists if I had not been struck down by lightning? Perhaps all this is only an illusion but even if they are, why do we have them? Thomas thought, squishing a piece of paper as he threw it far into the air."Thomas, come on, we have to keep going," Elise called, beckoning with her hand for him to join them back in the car.Thomas followed her lead but throughout the ride his mind was busy with all the possibilities that They might have some glitch during their journey and also the hard fact to accept that Silas was gone."We are here," Elise alarmed and they all looked out through the f
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty three : Beaker of dimensions
Something was wrong, that name seems familiar to me but where have I heard it? Thomas thought to himself."We don't have much time left so tell us where Ben is," Felix said to the CEO."I'm not afraid of your threats and like I said before, I am not telling you a thing," Gath answered.[ Good afternoon everyone, once more the brave heroes are about to travel beyond earth boundary, they may be gone for days or months but we hope they find something new and that their adventure will bring mankind to a more successful age, however a new participant will be launching into the sky with the already existing astronauts, this has been his dream and he had pursued it with humility. Now this is his chance to show his worth ] "Ben…" Thomas muttered as soon as he spotted him on live screen."Come on, Thomas we have to catch up with them," Felix ran off and Thomas followed him.Immediately after they left Gath called for the guards as he sent them after Thomas and Felix. "Get those teenage freaks
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty four: Perplexed
Silas wasn't mostly concerned about the name of the skill Austin was about to teach him rather what he didn't understand was why he had to smile while pronouncing the name.Whatever, who cared anyways, all that mattered was learning the skill and everything else Austin knew."The 'beaker of dimensions' is a very complex skill that could almost be mistaken for possession and what that means is, it is either you are the one controlling it or it is the one controlling you," Austin said while walking from one end to another with his hand in his pocket."That depends on what it's controlling me for, and how often that can be, so what is it?" Silas asked with his eyes fixed on him"Trust me when I say that if you don't know how to control the skill you will be killing people without knowing it; the reason being that the skill was made for a group of persons called Sentries, only the sentries have full control over the power although it can take them beyond bounds sometimes," "Sentries… so
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty five : The starting point
"Thomas!" Felix exclaimed in a whisper."Seriously, I am trying!" He replied. The tone of his voice caught the attention of Ben and Jake as they looked forward to them."Is everything alright?" Ben asked."Yes, everything is fine," Felix flashed a smile then looked at Elise who was glaring at Thomas."She is staring at me right now, isn't she?" Thomas asked."Yes she is, just shut up and answer the question," Felix said."Guys, don't you think it would be a lot easier if we took a car instead of draining our energy while walking on foot?" Jake uttered the statement Thomas was precisely avoiding.Thomas knew that if they took a car it would only add more flame to the pressure he was currently feeling. He was totally clueless."We can't take the ride Felix," Thomas muttered as he shook his head slightly. He wished Elvis was here, he was already regretting why he didn't carry him along because if he was with them things would have been a lot easier."What do I tell them?" Felix asked.Th
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty six : Risk
That was definitely the spot they were to begin the search, who would have believed that Silas's grave was the point? but wasn't there something special about that place?It was either the spot was to a great advantage, far beyond leaving the dimension or it was a spot for the sacrifice of their slain to redeem them.That morning after they came to an agreement Thomas instructed Ben and Felix to clean up the bus while he and Jake looked around for more fuel since it was definitely going to be a long ride."What do you think about all this Thomas? How sure are you that you are on the right path?" Jake asked Thomas who was extracting fuel from a vehicle."No, I don't know if I am right or wrong," Thomas answered. "The only thing I know is that it is better to do something than do nothing," "You have no idea where you are taking us,""Listen, i don't want you to say anything about this to Elise or the others," "Why not?" "That is because, I might not know the way out of this dimension
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty seven : the inscription
Thomas and his colleagues began their journey while he directed them to the unknown, which was how Jake termed it although he kept it to himself.Jake was the only one who knew just how clueless Thomas was as the rest of them.They took the highway since it would be more safe and even though it wasn't, at least they will be able to elude any incoming threat.While Thomas was directing Jake on the path to follow, Elise and Ben were getting the weapons ready while Felix kept an eye on the road"Do you think we can arrive at our destination without encountering one of those monsters?" Ben asked Elise."And how am I supposed to know that?" Elise heaves a sigh while stacking up the bombs in a different bag. Ben got the point, there was truly no way she could have the answer to that, not unless she was a seer. He chuckled."What?" Elise said."Nothing?" He replied."New York is truly a history In this age," Felix said, still staring out through the back window and they all turned to him."
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter fifty eight : Goodbye
They were all startled as Thomas saw another word below the writing but this one was written in a different form."Look," Thomas pointed at the spot the word was written."It's Latin," Elise said as she walked towards the wall. She examined the letters closely."Can you read it?" Thomas asked."When I was little I was forced against my will to learn several languages which was as a result of my father's obsession, he was so obsessed with learning languages that he brought me a private teacher for extra lessons and ever since I have been upset with him even until the day of day of graduation, but here I am, grateful for all the times he had chastised me…" "Can you please just read the word?" Thomas asked. "Sure. The word written on the wall means 'Cursed," She answered. "I think that was the reason why you had that nightmare, I think it was because of the house." "If that is the case we should get out of here as fast as possible," Jake said.When they were about to leave the house t

Later in the day, when he had slept to his satisfaction he walked out of his room. Stretching himself he went downstairs in search of his father and when he was halfway he heard chattering sounds coming from outside the house.He quickly opened the door and right on his doorstep was a crowd of reporters.He looked around the compound only to realize that everything was fixed."It's him, It is Thomas Celso," One of the reporters alarmed the others as they all left Tony and headed toward him instead."Can you please tell us what your role in the just resolved case was. We all heard that you played the role of Clark Kent…" While the reporters went on Tony walked up to Thomas as he carried him inside then shut the door."Dad, what's going on?" Thomas asked."Don't ask me that. I don't how it happened but you and your friends are all over the news now. Especially you, Thomas," Tony replied."What about the stuff we were supposed to fix, who did the work?" "The news about you got to the ear

Chapter one hundred and eighty three: Game over
"How do we stop Xander?" Andy said to Dylan who was now determined to help him and Thomas."I will take you to Xander as a captive. We have to play the game perfectly. Like you said Tony and his children are in a fight with Xander and I know if we don't get there in time someone might be killed. When we arrive, you have to give Thomas an eye signal to refrain from any violent action. When that is done I will make Xander bring you all to this place where we will chain you up to that rod," Dylan said as he pointed at a large iron rod a few feet away. "What if Xander refuses to bring us here?" Andy said."I will do my best but if Thomas is as smart as you said he is then he will pick up the signal. I am sure that Xander loves a contest. When you are chained up I must still act like I am on their side. I will offload their guns and your friend Thomas has to kindle a fire in between us. I have to test their limits, I have to know if they are truly going to kill me when I disagree to follow

Chapter one hundred and eighty two: alliance behind the scene
Some minutes earlier….During the time Thomas’s elder brother and Father were approaching the guards who held Thomas down on his knees, Andy took Emily and Laura around the shadows as he instructed them to lay low until the time to act comes up."I will be back, take care of yourselves," Andy said before running off to the site where he intended to jeopardize the system connections that Xander and his colleagues had put together for the experiment.Upon his arrival he spotted Dylan waiting just a few feet from the portal that they intended to open."You made it," Andy said as soon as he enclosed on Dylan."I received your text message and after the little explanation you gave me I think I would like to know more… So tell me, what did your friend Thomas see?" Dylan asked."Like I said before, something happened the night you and your colleagues came to capture Thomas’s parents. Last night he was struck down by lightning and he was taken to a different dimension where he saw many things

Chapter one hundred and eighty one: Mistrust and the Deadly triangle
It was a perfect triangle. The three colleagues had finally turned against each other. They knew that Thomas had planted a seed of mistrust among them but no matter what they perceived they couldn’t put the gun down. The guards who were present were also unable to do anything since Dylan had a gun pointed at Xander."Smart act Thomas," Xander said. "Even though you are tied up you still manages to play with our minds," "You think this is a joke?" Thomas said with a serious face. "This is serious and with time you will know that I am trying to save you all. The fact you have those guns pointed at each other shows that there is a presence of good even in the midst of your dark thoughts," Thomas responded with a serious face."Even after causing this havoc you are still filling us with your flattery," Xander said."Put the gun down Xander," Dylan said to him. "The kid is right, I should have realized this soon. This was a terrible idea," "So you are the unstable person among us," Edward

"Everything will be fine Ashley, I promise," Thomas encouraged her."You have to stop this. Edward please… If you have a heart, let the child go. Please," Tony pleaded but Edward hardened his heart."The moon is already up, let's go," Edward said."So finally this is your true nature," Thomas said when they were about to leave and they stopped then looked back at him."My father trusted you and we his children received you in like we will receive our own uncle. You watched us grow. You ate with us and even played soccer a few times with me and my elder brother. How did you become this person?" Thomas said, furrowing his eyebrows as he stared at Edward like a complete stranger."This is where you are getting it wrong. Everything you saw me do and you thought about was never because I loved any of you or even Tony. I was close to you all because then we saw Tony as a brother. Those love was because of sacrifice and without it you all mean nothing to me. You are all equal with a lamb and

"Xander, we have to commence with the experiment," Edward said to Xander who was still attempting to know what Thomas was hiding, however the more he delved into the conversation the more curious Xander became.It was Thomas’s game, he now wields Xander’s heart in his hand while he drives him through a maze which only he knows the exit.Thomas was perplexed but deep down he was enjoying the moment however that was not until Edward made that comment. The hallucination he had put Xander into was about to be wrecked."Don't you dare interrupt me again. We still have time whereas Dylan isn't here with the tech," Xander said, agitated by Edward's fear."We both know that this experiment can be carried out with or without the use of the tech," Edward answered but ignoring him Xander turned to Thomas again."Xander…" Edward groaned once more and hearing him Xander approached him fiercely and a quarrel burst out among them.While Xander and Edward were in dispute Matt and Tony snuck out of hid

The chain was locked with a key. The place was dark and if not that he was with a torchlight it would have been difficult to know who they were."Good evening sir," Andy said the moment he spotted Tony."What is good about the evening, whereas who are you?" Laura said rudely.Andy immediately flashed the torchlight on his face. "I am a good friend of your brother Thomas and I am here to rescue you," Andy replied."You made the wrong choice to come here because you will end up like us," Laura spoke up again."That is enough, I think I remember him," Emily interrupted Laura. "Please forgive her rude attitude," "There is no need for the apology ma'am. Thomas has told me how he and his sister constantly run into conflict. If I am being truthful, I expected worse," Andy said and Matt immediately giggled, placing his clenched fist against his mouth in order to prevent the sound from coming out louder although they all heard him giggle. Andy’s comment left Laura stunned and short of words t

After several attempts they pinned him to the floor. One of them was about to strike him but Xander stopped him with a hand signal."Don't do it, he is only a minor," Xander said to the guard then looked at Thomas again. "Hmm… What were you thinking to come here on your own, Thomas? Did you think that you could beat us and rescue your sister?" "Leave her alone you freak! She is only ten years old," Thomas said angrily.Xander laughed. "It's perfect. Haven't you heard that the most little ones have the purest blood," He said and hearing him Thomas groaned, struggling to set himself free from their grip."You should be glad because your sister will be able to serve a higher purpose," "If you lay your hand on her I'll kill you!" Thomas exclaimed. "Thomas," Ashley called with tears in her eyes.When Thomas saw her tears his blood steamed within him.He drifted his gaze up to Edwards face. The moment he saw the lack of piety in his eyes he was immediately disgusted. He couldn’t imagine t

"What is on your mind?" Andy interrupts Thomas's thought."Nothing," he sprained his eyebrows slightly then looked forward again."I can see through you Thomas. You are scared. You are scared that you might fail everyone," Andy hesitated. "You have nothing to fear because you will save them and when you do you will be rewarded and known as a hero. Your fame will spread so wide that you will forget your sorrow at this Moment,""No," Thomas interrupted. "No one should know about this. When it's over, it is best we return to our normal life and forget that any of this ever happened,""Why will you say that?" Andy asked with his face wrinkled in curiosity."What do you think will happen when the world discovers a reality like this one? We live in a world of mixed races. A time where people's hearts are darkened with desire to do evil. If they find out that the multiverse is real then that will lead to many acts of madness,"Andy jerked immediately after Thomas’s words. "You are a very stra
