The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and forty seven: hidden jealousy
“Hey!” Silas walked from the edge of the cliff to the place Thomas stood. “I don’t know what you guys were discussing but I am sure that it was irrelevant, so right now I think the best thing to do is find a comfortable spot to rest instead of wasting energy,” he hesitated as he looked a little towards the right side of the forest where Kelvin and Sebastian were seated under a tree. “What is he doing? I thought he was the one who said that we don’t have much time to waste?” Thomas said.“He is resting, conserving energy for the journey ahead. Any moment from now he will tell us to be up and ready to move so if you are wise you should be doing the same,” Silas answered and when he walked past Thomas towards the forest Thomas followed him.Thomas found a comfortable spot under a large tree where Ben was seated so he settled down there gently leaning his back on the stem of the tree.“Do you ever miss home?” Ben broke the silence as Thomas turned left to meet his gaze. “Yes I do. I am m
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and forty eight: Sudden attack
About five hours later Thomas' ears picked up the sound of someone yelling his name. He opened his eyes gently and still feeling dizzy, he looked forward. It was already dark and through his blurry sight he could see fiery sparks and electric blasts. To him it only seemed like fireworks mixed with noise of people, he thought it was a dream so he sat still until Elise screamed his name a lot louder.“Thomas!” he heard her call. His eyes opened up and right before him was a giant crab with its two cramps ready to smash him to pieces. Without hesitation he threw himself to the floor as he rolled away. The cramps of the crab smashed against the tree as it divided in two drastically dropping to the floor.Frightened by the sudden attack Thomas jerked off the floor, staggering backward until his back hit against a tree. While staring at the giant crab he heard the sound of wild fire from his left as he turned to see Felix battling with one of the aliens and just some feet away was Tyler and
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and forty nine: Eluding danger
Thomas didn’t ask any further questions, he only hoped their predictions were right. In about thirty seconds during their silence the winds gradually seized and while their hopes were high Danny alerted them of the chattering sounds he could hear coming from deep in the woods and while they all listened the sound got louder until they spotted Sebastian run out of the bush towards them.On getting to where they were Tyler caught him. He was panting and from the look on his face they could tell that the chase was still on.“Are you alright?” Kelvin asked, rushing down to where he was standing.“Yes, I managed to hold them back for a while but we have to go because they are still on our trail. We must leave now,” he said breathily and at Kelvin’s order they all went in through the portal.****"Same old, same old," Silas said, shaking his head gently as soon as they made it through."We can't remain here, we must continue our journey," Tyler suggested, still panting with his hands on
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fifty: Dangerous plan
Hearing those words Kelvin moved past him as he ordered them to follow his lead. Thomas followed behind the rest of them as they forged ahead. All the way forward his eyes were dizzy and his countenance was worn out. He moved weakly but he was sure not to make anyone realize that. “Stop,” at Kevin’s order they halted. “We are here,” Kelvin said as he turned around to them. “We all know what we are up against. We are about to enter the territory of a very dangerous creature. Do all you can to keep your movement steady, avoid causing any vibration and most importantly no talking,” Kelvin ordered.“Why do we need any of that when we have our powers?” Tyler said.“Just do as I say, we will use our powers only in case of an emergency,” Kelvin answered then moved ahead and they all followed. They followed his lead and for over Thirty minutes there was no sign of any predator. To Tyler and Ben walking like the earth was about to crumble when there was no sign of a predator felt like another
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fifty one: Faced with two threats
The battle had just begun and Thomas was found in the middle of it with the rest of his friends. The sand snakes were not the major threat at the moment, what they were up against was the alien reptiles.The sand snakes fought rapidly. They didn’t care whether it was runners or aliens; all they cared about was defending their territory from anything that ventured in. They were ready to strike even to their detriment. Thomas also fought with all he’s got, he used the opportunity to explore the rest of his abilities and unexpectedly he was able to both manipulate fire like Felix, air like Sebastian and many others. As the battle range on the bodies of the alien reptiles fell but despite how many of them were killed they were still undefeatable because of their number. The sand snakes were also relentless but Thomas wouldn’t say the same about himself and his colleagues.The more they fought the wearier they got and when Kelvin noticed that their strengths were failing he alarmed them t
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fifty two: Stay awake
“Thomas! Thomas!” he heard someone yell his name as his eyes fluttered open. His head was still aching badly as he looked around only to realize that he was locked up in a large glass box with many wires connected to his body. “Thomas!” he heard his name again as he looked left and spotted Elise chained to an iron chair. The palms of her hands were covered with an iron seal and standing beside her were two huge men. “Elise,” he whispered in a weak tone.“Thomas you have to stay awake,” She said aloud and one of the guards hit her hard on the face.“Elise,” Thomas exclaimed, drifting his eyes to the man who had hit her. “I promise if you lay a hand on her again I’ll fry you from the inside,” he threatened, struggling to get the wires off his body but all his attempts failed since the pain was unbearable.“Oh…. Thomas,” he heard a sly tone coming from ahead as he looked forward to see a young man standing outside the enclosed glass with his eyes on him. He recognized the man. It was th

“What have you done to him, what have you done to my friends!” Thomas yelled angrily.Howard laughed wickedly again and gently he looked at Thomas. “Your friends will be fine for now but considering what is in you, it is far more dangerous than both flames combined. You left without me giving you the final touch that is the reason why you have not been able to operate in the fullest of your capacity. I will give that gift to you after I have fashioned you to obey all my commands and when I do, you will be well equipped to kill both the king and the so called flame monger,”“You freak what do you intend to do,” Elise exclaimed as Howard turned to one of his subjects approaching with a case in his hands. When his subject arrived by his side he opened the case and inside of it were two little glass tubes containing strange colored liquids. Howard lifted a tube out of the briefcase. “This one will make me an ever obedient soldier and the other one in there will activate the power already
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fifty four: Wild fire
Felix and Thomas clashed in battle as Thomas sent him bowling over to the floor. Not for once had Felix felt that much energy from anyone. Ever since he gained the power of the phoenix and that of the Dragon flame not for once has he felt an energy that could discomfit him so for the first time in a long time he was afraid. He pushed his weight off the floor as he lifted himself to his feet. “Thomas you have to stop right now,” he said but once more Thomas came against him with a greater force than before. He was lucky to avoid the second and third strike but the fourth sent his back smashing against the floor. At this rate he knew that he wouldn’t last any longer so he decided to defend himself. Of course Thomas moved with the speed of lightning and there was no telling how far his strength could go but Felix was sure of his own strength. He knew from his own description that if his flame is unleashed to its fullest capacity Thomas might not be able to survive it.That moment he re

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
