The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and twenty four: Two haters
"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
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and twenty five: saved by suspicion
It's obvious now, Chris knows I was the reason why Lucy's sister is dead. Since he knows that he must consider me as a monster and acting decent and kind only makes him think worse of me. He left with that absolute response, the one which sends all the guilt back into my chest like a dagger stabbed into my heart. Felix thought to himself as the door fluttered open and Charles walked in."Felix," Charles said as he furrowed his eyebrows then walked down straight to the chair he was seated in. "What in the world is going on? You better start talking now or I am done with this!" He exclaimed.Felix held his peace, he was staring forward but his eyes weren't focused on anything, he was still drowned in his thoughts."Can you even hear me!" Charles scolded."You want to hear the truth so badly..?" Felix said gently and after a brief hesitation he continued. "I messed up big time. The reason Lucy is upset with me is because I killed her younger sister,""What!" Charles furrowed his eyebrows

"If I am right then you are asking if your friend possesses both a dragon flame and the phoenix flame… That could be possible but it's rare so why would you imagine it," The old lady said."It's no imagination Rose. I saw the mark of the phoenix appear on his arm," Chris said assuredly.Rose furrowed her eyebrows as she tapped her fingers twice on the bedrock. "I won't let this occurrence amuse me because I have lived long enough to know that anything is possible. If what you say is true then your friend is a flame hybrid. The phoenix mark will not appear on someone who is not from its bloodline so that Is an absolute sign that he is a hybrid,"Chris was perplexed immediately after her comment, he still can't believe it. Felix lived a normal life, he was from the other world just like the rest of them runners. Felix had a family and loved ones from earth."Are you aware of what you are saying? The person I am speaking of is a runner. We both know that the phoenix force doesn't exist i

"Like I said earlier, that question is not mine to answer. It all depends on Felix. He alone has the power to decide that fate," Rose said to him."Why do I sense that there is more explanation to that than I have just heard?" Chris asked."That is because there is. Felix is an indigene from this world but somehow he escaped to your planet and was born of a human mother. He existed in two different worlds but so after the apocalypse he will have to battle with the phoenix force inside him. If the phoenix force wins he will have no other choice but to remain here and grow more powerful but if he prevails he will be able to return to his normal world and live as a normal teen," "So that's it; his fate doesn't lie on fate after all, rather it lies on his choice and how strong he is able to withstand the phoenix flame," "And that my friend is what I call fate. Whether he is strong enough to banish the phoenix flame or not it is all his fate but you must be warned, the phoenix flame has

Still under the silent evening they watched the man In hood which backed them stand idly with his head straight forward."Are you deaf? I said reveal yourself this instant!" Hagan scolds.Gently the man turned around to them as he gently took off his hood cap. "You must be Hagan, the king of the safest dimension and also the pillar behind all these miseries," He said.Hagan started at the unfamiliar face, tracking the scar which ran down from his right eyebrows down to his chin. "Who are you and how did you get into my dimension without my knowledge?""I think the major question shouldn't be who I am rather the question should be what I am," The metaphor used was a clear indication that what was standing before them was not human rather it was more like a mysterious creature."Well what then are you?" Hagan asked, still staring curiously."You are over a thousand years old but it occurred to me that you are still blind to some realities that exist in these dimensions. I know you must

That evening while midnight was fast approaching Elvis walked into the prison where Anastasia and Obed were, he made his way towards the prison gate as he looked In the shadow and he saw Anastasia. Her back was leaned on the wall with Obed beside her."Hello," Elvis said as she lifted her eyes to him. "Why are you looking so dispirited?" He asked."Well that is because you won't keep to the end of your bargain, I should have known that you were a deceiver," She answered gently."I didn't deceive you. I just don't trust that you have given me all the information I need," "It's been a week, Elvis!" She said with a frown on her face.Elvis held his gaze on her and after a while he took out the key to the cell gate as he lifted it to her. "About that, I think you will be leaving the cell tonight," He said then put the key back into his pocket as he took a few steps closer. "I will let you go but don't forget to keep your promise. You said you will leave the palace never again to return a
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty: the conference
The sun came up the next day and just as agreed everyone gathered in and outside the palace hall to hear what Felix had to say. Felix had explained everything to Kelvin, Thomas and the rest of them so they were not void of the knowledge about what played out. Before now the king had already been kept aside but none of them knew what his outcome would be. He might likely survive it or remain that way until the apocalypse is over because an injury from a dragon flame was almost incurable.Two guards walked Thomas inside with his hands locked with a large chain. They left him standing some feet away from the throne and just then Caleb also walked in.The conference was set and everyone kept silent to hear Felix speak.Felix on the other hand despite his hopes that they will consider him he knew that it was rarely possible. It was just like his friends saying, upset people are hardly convinced."We are all gathered here to witness the words of one of our own. We are all aware of the King's
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty one: The conference part two
Immediately after Felix's answer the crowd mused in confusion. They were all perplexed at his comment because no one has ever dared to challenge the king, no one has lived as long as he has."I know you all might be wondering how that is possible and you might even think that I am not being truthful but I assure you this is the truth," he hesitated. "You remember when I told you about how he said he was made; if he was formed by Mara before her death then that means that he was as old as the king. He told the king that they both had a few things in common and that was their long life and their strive to complete their mission. He mentioned that the only difference between the both of them was their purpose, he said that they both wanted to be free and for the king his freedom relied on keeping Thomas alive and setting the runners free, but for him that was different; instead of saving the life of Thomas he was rather supposed to kill him. That was the only way he was going to find free

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

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

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

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
