"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
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 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
