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
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
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
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
“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
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
"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
