"Have you considered the possibility that you might be wrong? What if they truly believe in the king?" Silas said as Kelvin shook his head in disagreement."Even though they believed him, their alliance was too prompt. The king should have known better," Kelvin answered."And you are right about that. If they had ulterior motives the king is powerful enough to figure them out," Silas said.At his comment Kelvin paused and looked away from the book to him. "There is something you need to understand Silas, the fact that someone Is powerful or old doesn't mean that person is flawless, sometimes they can be blinded by their trust that they forget to consider the little things," He said."Just like what you are doing right now," Silas spoke up when Kelvin was about looking into his book again. "That you have these suspicions doesn't mean that they are true, it could be that the light fairies are genuinely trying to help. I will leave you to do your thing but please don't mess this up," Ke
We can't let that happen, we can't let them turn Thomas into an abomination if not we will never leave this place. Silas said. He immediately recalled the words of Zack, how he said that if Thomas was going to fulfill his destiny as the last runner he would have a role to play in protecting him.Silas took this as one of the various moments to do that."We have to stop them, Silas, we have to," Elise said as she turned towards the window. It was already dark and in a few minutes the moon was going to be up. Noise could already be heard from the entire academy as they were all heading outside the palace province to witness the ritual."What did they say must be engaged for the ritual to take the right course?" Silas interrupted Elise gazed as she sprinted her gaze back to him. Her countenance was all worn out and her eyes full of worry."That is the problem Silas, I have no clue but I am sure we might find some information among the books Kelvin was reading," She answered.Silas stood
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
