The moon was already up by the time Elvis arrived outside the palace. He ran about two meters away from the palace building forging into the crowd of runners who were gathered to witness the ritual. Elvis pushed them aside one after another, as many as obstructed his path. He forced his way through until he made it to the front line. Ahead of him were gathered all the light fairies and the three Sentries and in their midst was a large rock which they laid Thomas.Elvis ran his gaze around and just by the right he spotted them. Hagan and Kelvin were standing side by side and their eyes were fixed towards Thomas."Kelvin," He called as he made his way to where they were. "You have to stop them, you must stop them now before it's too late," "What are you talking about?" Kelvin asked.Elvis turned around to the light fairies whose bodies were already glowing and back again to Kelvin. "The light fairies are not going to wake Thomas, they are going to change him into something else," He s
"What happened?" Thomas asked. He lifted his eyes forward as he looked around at the Runners who were cheering his name then turned back to Silas who had a wide smile on his face."It's a long story pal, but if you are desperate to know, you were just saved from the burns from a dragon flame," Silas answered.At Silla’s comment Thomas got flashback to the day he sent Elvis away to save him from Felix's wrath.So that was the day it happened? he thought to himself."What about Felix, how is he?" He asked."Felix is fine," Someone answered as he turned around to see that it was Kelvin and behind him were the rest of his friends."Welcome back to the land of the living, Thomas," Jerry said.Some minutes later the king dismissed them as he instructed most of the runners to dispose of the bodies of the light fairies.Thomas returned to their apartment. When he walked inside he spotted Felix seated on one of the chairs with his hands together and his gaze forward."Felix," He said as he wal
"What about you, I thought you can't be killed so why not help him?" Thomas said."We don't know that for certain and even though I was tired of living, do you think it will be a great idea to leave the apocalypse up to you?" Thomas knew he had a point there. They can't afford to lose him because the kingdom currently has many people who are aspiring to rule this dimension. A clear example is Anastasia not to speak of many more who were camouflaged, pretending to be obedient all because of the king's immortality."So what you are saying is that the dragon flame might be able to kill you," Silas said to Hagan."It's not a certainty; rather we can call it a probability. The dragon flame was in existence before the curse was placed on me so it might have a terrible effect however based on the curse I wasn't going to die by a dragon flame. The witch spoke about the dragon flame so if it was going to kill me then she would not have limited my departure at the end of Thomas's race," He exp
Everyone was having a great time, most were satisfied with their current position and others were waxing stronger and relevant but in the case of Elvis, his desire to catch up was leading him to a wrong path. A week has passed now and training had been on for everyone and yet another night Elvis walked into the prison cell to meet Anastasia for the night's training."Wake up sleepy heads, it's time," Elvis said to Anastasia as he sat on the floor. "I hope you are aware that today is the last night?" She said,"Yes it Is but that doesn't mean that you will be leaving tonight," "What!" She exclaimed, standing on her feet as she made her way to the gate. "Is that supposed to be a joke or what?" Elvis flinched, taking his eyes off her frowned face. "I can't release you tonight because if I do that we will get caught. By the time we are done with today's training the day will be fast approaching so it's better we leave it until tomorrow," "And how sure am I that you will keep your word
"Felix," Charles called, running up to him as he obstructed his path. "Where are you going?""I told you before that I can't stay here, I can't practice with her," Felix replied. He was about to walk past Charles but he stopped him again."We've also discussed this before. Her threats don't count, it's not as if she will put a dagger into you…" While Charles kept trying to talk him out of his intention Felix saw a shadow of someone heading towards them. He watched for a while and while the shadow got closer he realized it was Chris."What are you staring at?" Charles asked."It's Chris, he is here," Felix answered. He wasn't sure how he would react, but he knew that it all depends on how Chris will. "Chris," Charles said as soon as he got to them."How has it been?" Chris said to him."Great, but somehow rough," Charles answered.Chris heaved a sigh and at a glimpse of Felix he walked past them making his way inside the house.Felix was confused. The look on Chris' face was unlike hi
"What is going on Chris? This was never what I expected," Charles said.Chris heaved a sigh as he picked up the book he had kept on the table. "It doesn't matter how much fire energy you can exert, what really counts is wisdom. True power lies inside," Chris said."This is all fucked up," Charles exclaimed in a whisper."So what do we do now?" Felix asked."We've been trying so hard to bring Lucy back but all our efforts have failed so right now we need to be more focused. At least we didn't lose everything and even though we won't have the true power of the phoenix we still have a chance to come under the list of the most powerful fire manipulators," "This is all messed up," Charles said as he drifted his gaze away."We have to give this a try. It's not totally useless," Felix said."You can say that because you have the Dragon flame," "I think that is enough Charles. Let's set aside our differences and work together," Chris interrupted and they both held their peace. "We will have
It's obvious now, Chris knows I was the reason why Lucy's sister is dead. Since he knows that he must consider me as a monster and acting decent and kind only makes him think worse of me. He left with that absolute response, the one which sends all the guilt back into my chest like a dagger stabbed into my heart. Felix thought to himself as the door fluttered open and Charles walked in."Felix," Charles said as he furrowed his eyebrows then walked down straight to the chair he was seated in. "What in the world is going on? You better start talking now or I am done with this!" He exclaimed.Felix held his peace, he was staring forward but his eyes weren't focused on anything, he was still drowned in his thoughts."Can you even hear me!" Charles scolded."You want to hear the truth so badly..?" Felix said gently and after a brief hesitation he continued. "I messed up big time. The reason Lucy is upset with me is because I killed her younger sister,""What!" Charles furrowed his eyebrows
"If I am right then you are asking if your friend possesses both a dragon flame and the phoenix flame… That could be possible but it's rare so why would you imagine it," The old lady said."It's no imagination Rose. I saw the mark of the phoenix appear on his arm," Chris said assuredly.Rose furrowed her eyebrows as she tapped her fingers twice on the bedrock. "I won't let this occurrence amuse me because I have lived long enough to know that anything is possible. If what you say is true then your friend is a flame hybrid. The phoenix mark will not appear on someone who is not from its bloodline so that Is an absolute sign that he is a hybrid,"Chris was perplexed immediately after her comment, he still can't believe it. Felix lived a normal life, he was from the other world just like the rest of them runners. Felix had a family and loved ones from earth."Are you aware of what you are saying? The person I am speaking of is a runner. We both know that the phoenix force doesn't exist i
