The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fourteen: illusion
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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and fifteen: faces with consequences
"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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and sixteen: Alliance
Immediately after his comment the light fairies began to murmur. They were all shocked at the report, they felt betrayed.“Luther kept this secret between himself and a few of the elders and when my father discovered the truth they framed him for committing treason. They were going to kill my father and I if not that we escaped. My father sacrificed his life so that I can live until today and even after the king of the runners knew about my presence he kept me a secret,” Danny said.Luther chucked immediately after Danny’s explanation. “What nonsense are you saying?” he said then lifted his gaze to the other light fairies whose eyes were on him. They couldn’t believe it either, at least not until they saw Luther's conspicuous countenance and the fear clustered on his face.“He is going to react,” Hagan muttered as soon as he noticed Luther’s countenance turned dark. Luther was about to manipulate the atmosphere but before he could one of the light fairies who knew about his secret stab
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and seventeen: false alliance
"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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and eighteen: it must be our best memory
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 last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and nineteen: battle in the palace
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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and twenty: Cured
"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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and twenty one: You no longer belong here
"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

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

Chapter one hundred and seventy nine: Tears of the key
"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

Chapter one hundred and seventy seven: Deadly plan and the risk worth taking
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

Chapter one hundred and seventy six: My sister, the key
"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
