The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty five: I won't explode
They were quiet for a while and afterwards Anastasia broke the silence. “You can keep lying to yourself but one day your true emotions will erupt and on that day, you will set the entire kingdom up in flames,” she said.“You have nothing to worry about, none of that will come through because I have a will of my own, I won’t explode. Just give up trying to manipulate me because I am determined to follow this course the right way,” he answered. “What I don’t yet understand about you two is why you choose to be evil when there are great good you can do with your abilities,”“That is because we cannot be like everyone else,” Anastasia answered. “Many of you runners are out there trying to play nice when deep down you want to rule the kingdom and there is a man who refuses to age seated on the throne,” “You are still missing the point. None of this was about becoming king. Something happened to us and many of us were taken away from our families, friends and many other people we love and o
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty six: I don't break my promises
When Silas and Elise arrived outside they saw Thomas standing beside a large dog with many runners which surrounded them. The dog's eyes were full of hate as its teeth displayed aggressively."Oh no, we have to stop them before things get out of hand," Silas whispered."We have seen this dog before, It was the same one that helped us make it through the desert filled with giant snakes," Elise said."Yes, I recognise him but why Is it looking more large and dreadful than before?" Silas said.Still witnessing the scene Kelvin and David showed up with swift instruction that the runners should stand down.They had just discovered the reason the mark appeared, so Kelvin offered to explain everything to Caleb as long as they refrained from attacking the dog.Caleb agreed to his plea as he carried Kelvin apart and Kelvin narrated everything to him, including how the dog had saved them from both giant snakes and a forest lion. He also told him about the mark which appeared on Thomas’s body as
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty seven: apology
It was early that morning when the guards brought Felix peacefully to the community of runners gathered outside to hear the words of the king. The guards led him up to the platform where he met Caleb who was waiting for the king’s arrival.As soon as Caleb set his eyes on Felix his countenance turned pale, Felix could tell that he was sorry for keeping him locked up inside the prison for that long.“I am sorry,” Caleb apologized.“There is no need for that. Actually I am glad you did, but…” Felix answered and before he could complete his statement they were interrupted by the murmuring crowd and that caused Caleb to take his eyes off him as he turned to see the king walk out of the palace, making his way forward.Felix could see through the hearts of the people that they were as baffled at the swift recovery of the king as much as he was but the murmuring soon ceased when the king stopped before them.“I am glad to have you all today. I know that you are all amazed at how swift I was a
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty eight: the search
When Elvis walked inside and saw that all eyes were on him, he stopped. For a while there was silence and the silence threw a wave of guilt at him since he knew what he had done. “Why is everyone staring at me like I did something wrong?” he said, drifting his gaze at them.“No one said that you did anything wrong. By the way, where have you been?” Kelvin asked.“What do you mean by that? I was in the congregation witnessing the show, where else was I supposed to be?” Elvis answered. While their eyes were still on him he shook his head gently then left, heading for his room.“I think something is weird about him. Ever since he learned that Felix possessed the dragon flame he had been acting differently,” Elise said.“Or it could be that he is just tired and needs some time to rest,” Felix interrupted. “Please can we change the topic because I hate when everything is all about me. Let’s talk about something else, something like Thomas’s amazing and powerful pet,” he said as he made his
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty nine: just because he is one of us
“We are not kidding, Elvis was the one who freed us from prison and if by any means you let them catch us we will tell the king the entire truth and since our collaboration with Elvis has lasted for a long time now we have no doubt that he will suffer the same fate with us,” she emphasized.The sound of the approaching community of runners kept getting louder and hearing this Obed looked at Thomas. “The clock Is ticking and for every moment you persist on keeping us here you risk the chance of getting your friend killed and also, if they find out that you met us here but let us leave, you will be equally framed for betraying the kings order,”“What difference does it make? If I let you leave you will come back to disrupt our plans,”“We have no intention to return to this place Thomas,” Anastasia interrupted him. “We all know that the king cannot be killed so there is no point in persisting on doing so,”“If that is the case why won’t you stand and fight with us?” Thomas asked.“That i

“I understand that no matter what happens you might still think that I have a hand in Anastasia’s escape but I promise you that isn’t the case. Anastasia and I broke up the day she turned her back on me. I thought that we were working together the entire time but I soon realized that wasn’t the case, I realized that I was another victim in her game…” “How do we know that this wasn’t your plan all along?” Jerry interrupted Klaus. “It must have been that all this is your act of disguise while she prepare herself for the bigger damage,” Hearing those accusations Klaus held his peace for a while, he was short of words and from his countenance anyone could tell that those words were grievous especially when he had done nothing wrong. He was defenceless and all their gazes fell on him except Thomas who knew kept his eyes still on Elvis.“Like I said earlier I had nothing to do with this but it’s still fine if you think I was the one who did it. I can’t tell you what to think, all I have is
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and forty one: It had just began
That night he had a similar dream to the ones he has been having for a long while now. It had been a while since he had a dream about his little sister but that night the dream was back and this time it was more frightening than it has ever been.The nightmare ended with an alarming call that the Apocalypse has just started. He heard her call from the shadows and deep into the foliage of the forest trees. Her call was like a wail but this time it was not a wail for help rather it was a wail of terror. Immediately after her wail he had a vision of the first dream he had after he was taken away from his world; he saw the lightning, thunder and storms coming towards him but this time the creatures inside the storm were more visible, they were alien species; giant spiders, ants, scorpions and many other giant reptiles.“It has just begun,” at that statement Thomas awoke from his sleep. His eyes fluttered open and he jerked up from bed. Before he could contemplate on the vision he had jus
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and forty two: The selection
"That is the trail that leads to the third dimension. After shutting the door, most of you will be chosen as runners and you must assume the positions given to you," Gaius said."How do we know the positions given to us?" Klaus asked."If you are selected you will have a vision and you will be told where to stand and you must wait there until the previous runner reaches your destination and taps you by the hand. When it's your time to run you must run with all you've got because if the race is not done promptly then the entire process will be destroyed," Gaius explained."How many runners do we have and how do we know them when we see one?" Elise asked."I can't explain it but I am sure you will recognise them. You will know what to do when that time comes but for the moment you must shut the fourth dimension," Gaius replied."What about the first runner? I thought he is supposed to come with us since he is the one to begin the race? Why haven’t you relieved his identity yet?" Felix sa

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

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

"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
