"Shit!" Elvis muttered as he heaved a sigh. Still in deep frustration he felt someone's arm on his left shoulder accompanied by his weight on the bench.He lifted his head off his knees only to realize Danny was staring at him."Hi Elvis, I have been expecting you," he said."I'm sorry it's been a while, I have been occupied for sometime now," Elvis replied."I know. I heard about the appearance of the one who has the dragon flame, it's a complete disaster," Danny said."Do you know anything about that flame?" Elvis asked."Just a little. I heard it's an ancient flame which Is supposed to appear as a sign that the apocalypse is near," Danny answered."If you know about it then you must also be aware that the last runner has appeared," Elvis said."I know, the rumour was all over the city. I heard his name is Thomas," Danny said.Elvis was glad that at least convincing him will no longer be a problem since he was current about things going on in the kingdom. Everyone liked Thomas so he
Elvis had no idea what Danny meant by his last statement but he knew it could be a good thing or a bad one."What do you mean by your days of hiding are over?" Elvis asked."I have to leave this kingdom,""Why?" "Do you expect that the king carry me into his arms like some runner who he will love and cherish. If the king knows who i am he will certainly kill me," He replied.Elvis furrowed his eyebrows at his comment. "That is not true. The king never said he wants you dead," "It's only a matter of time before you realize it. The king knows that as long as my kind remains he will always receive opposition to set you back your world," "Well you don't have to worry about leaving so soon because the king will not lay his finger on you, because he needs your help and in fact we all do," Elvis said. When he saw the confused look on Danny's face he explained in more detail. "The last runner is in a critical condition. He has been burned with the dragon flame. We have done our research an
Danny hadn't heard about that part before, he never knew that their existence was a coincidence. All these years I have been lied to? he thought to himself. The light fairies have always recited their beliefs that they were made out of the light of the dimensions. They have always considered themselves among one of the indigenes but it was all lies. The reason for their existence was because of a curse.Danny reasoned within himself, he was sure that the king wasn't telling a lie because he had also heard stories about the great king who has lived for many years without aging. All these years the light fairies had made him believe it was a blessing but have kept the truth that it was more of a curse.Despite the circumstances he could not allow his kind to die like that. Even though they were not supposed to exist, now they are in existence, they have a heart, a mind and desire, many of his kind wants to live including himself."I will help you save the last runner like I have promised
Danny's terms were so direct that it freaked them out. Elise and Silas were not an exception because they knew they had not arrived in a part of the mirror dimension which takes them off without them drifting away willingly.Silas knew that whatever it was that they will go through from henceforth, it will be traumatized.Who knows, they may encounter a loved one or lost loved one or even something worse and feeling something pulling you away from an incident you were willing to prevent in the original world, that was one of the most painful experiences anyone could have.After hearing and encouraging themselves, David turned again to Danny and said. "At this point you are our eyes and ears, lead us and make no mistakes because our survival depends on it,"Things played out exactly as they were told, to Elise and Silas it was challenging but they got over it easily but for Elvis and David it was more complicated.As soon as Danny forged ahead David saw a large mountain ahead, it was co
Silas, Elise, David and Danny's eyes were on him. They had been watching him for a while now and it was so crazy seeing him fight with a rope.Elise couldn't hold back herself from laughing and when Elvis realized that he had been making a fool of himself the whole time he felt intimidated."Why are you laughing?" Elvis said to her."No, I'm not," She replied but her countenance was full of it."You all had similar experiences so you should stop staring at me like I'm crazy," Elvis ran his gaze at them."We definitely went through similar cases but yours was lengthy and we almost thought you had gone mad," David said as Elise burst out in laughter, she couldn't hold it in anymore. "You don't have to be pissed but I wonder the kind of memory you were having, who on earth will be fighting with a rope," Silas sprained his eyebrows as they all turned around to see Danny untiring the rope which was tied around his waist."What are you doing?" Elvis asked."We won't be needing the rope for
"What is the idea?" Danny requested."You mentioned earlier that the Light fairies didn't have a shield back then but now they have one, that should mean something but keeping whatever it means aside, you also mentioned that from what you know about your kind, they hate being restricted, which means that they should make an exception," "Are you suggesting that only light fairies can make it pass the shield, because if you are I must admit that is a crazy assumption," Elise interrupted Silas."It's not crazy Elise, it could be that Danny can pass through the shoulder without being hurt but we can't," Silas said.As soon as he made his claim Elise was about objecting but Danny stopped them. "I think Silas is right," He said. "I remember that may father told me something similar to this when I was still a child, long before he got into any conflict with our kind," "So you are saying that you will be walking past that shield which just chopped a stick in half," Elise asked.From her tone
There was nothing more to say than to act. In the next few seconds Elvis was going to take a dangerous risk, one which will cost him his life if it turns out they were wrong.Danny's facial expression seemed like he was sure about what he was doing but deep down in his core he was afraid. He prayed he was not wrong, he prayed it all worked out just like the wood did.Danny reached his hand out to Elvis as he took hold of it and after a long draw of breath they walked towards the shield."I don't want to die, please… I don't want to die," Elvis kept reciting those words to himself and when they were about three feet close to the shield he shut his eyes tight. He never stopped repeating the words until he tapped on the shoulder, followed by loud screams of excitement.He opened his eyes to meet the bright smile on Danny's face."We made it, I told you that you will be fine, didn't I?" Danny said. Elvis heaved a sigh of relief then he turned to David and the rest of them which were all s
"Hello Luther," Hagan called the king of the light fairies by name.Silas and his colleagues were surprised at how Hagan knew him by name and even more confused because of the expression on Luther's face. It was like he was afraid of Hagan."What a surprise to have the king of the most formidable dimension present with us. I must admit that he must really care for these young teenagers who strayed far from home that he gathered enough courage to come without guards," Lither said as he gave Hagan more attention."You should know better than that Luther, My subjects are not my power, I am the one who empowers my subject, the city gate keepers are not the ones who protect me rather I am their protector. In my absence my kingdom would have been taken a long time but because I am present the walls of that city stand. I am not like you Luther; You are willing to slay the neck of one of your own all for the purpose of protecting a secret or should I say your cruel act," Hagan said.Those word
