The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter seventy eight : The kings portion
At noon the next day the king walked into the room where Thomas lay unconscious. There was no one else there except Kelvin and Ruth who were checking up on him."How is his condition?" The king asked."He is improving, I can feel the internal wound healing so he will definitely make it," She replied."And how many days do you think it will take before he regains consciousness?""Two days at most," Ruth answered. She placed the bowel of water she was holding on the floor as he squeezed the water out of the little towel then turned around to the king. "You have nothing to worry about. He will definitely be okay," The king took her affirmation as a substitute to suppress his tension. Thomas was their only hope so there was every need for him to be afraid."You know there is something I don't yet understand about you, my king," Kelvin said. He sounded so intense that it drew the king's interest. "I can't tell why any of this should bother you. Why do you still care even when you know tha
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter seventy nine : Awake
I didn't know what had happened to me in the past few days, all I know is this moment, my eyes are open and all I can see is an empty room. I got flashes of memories and how I had been poked by a sharp ice and the horrors of my unending pain, I must have dashed out or had been unconscious all these while. The last thing I could remember from my deep sleep was Ashley. I had seen her calling out for help and pleading that I awake from my sleep but why did it feel like I was never asleep until now? What had happened to me? Thomas thought to himself.He pressed his hands against the bed, pushing his weight upwards as he moved his feet down to the floor. The ground was so cold. It was very strange, almost like he was feeling the touch of his feet against the floor for the first time in years.He looked around the room from one lamp stand to another and finally his eyes made contact with the wall clock.Twelve p.m. He muttered. At this time everyone must be asleep. Somehow, Thomas recognise

"Okay, your words are secret safe in my heart," Thomas said to Silas with deep assurance. "And lest I forget, there is something else you wanted to tell me so what was it?" "Remind me please," Silas said."You asked if I knew what I am and based on your reaction I am convinced the answer I gave wasn't accurate. So tell me, what am I?" "Yes, I remember asking that," Silas heaved a sign, he sprained his eyebrows gently then looked up to the ceiling. "Did you recall when we were at the little village where Zack handed us the linen?" "Why not. Who on earth will forget such a hilarious experience, especially the horrifying adventure we had inside the strange sea," Thomas replied.They laughed it off and the place returned to silence."You remember our talks about the last runner. The hero who will end the race, the person Ben said he was on an assignment to find,""Yes, I remember we talked about finding him. Have Kelvin asked the king if he knows how to find him?" Thomas asked."No, I t

"Thomas you have to listen to us, we don't have much time left," Kelvin said."Yes, we don't have much time left, which is why you have to find the last runner and not assume that I am him. I am just waking up from a coma and you all are not making things any easier for me," Thomas said.Immediately after his comment there was a great calm outside which was suspicious. Thomas sensed that the reason for the silence must be that a dignity had arrived, perhaps the others thought so too.He watched the door keenly as he could hear footsteps of someone approaching, the door knob turned and the door opened up to the king who walked in simultaneously.The king looked at all of them and finally at Thomas whose eyes were on him. He felt a crawl of excitement inside his body and through his veins."Thomas Celso. Your presence has already started pulling the crowd. Just like the presence of a king. I must admit that I am jealous," "There is no need to be, because I am not taking the credit," Tho

Immediately after his comment Thomas turned around to him and said. "We both know that is not the truth. If you were the one, you would not have asked me to accompany you in search of something we don't even have a clue what it is,""Okay, let's assume that you are right about this, but isn't there a possibility that it was just a wild animal, Maybe a wolf, deer or even a lion," Elvis answered."No it's not," Felix interrupted and they both turned to him. Thomas traced his gaze forward to see what he was staring at and it turned out that there was something hiding behind a wavering bush. The turbulence of the grasses was so great that they all suspected whatever was causing the disturbance was large. "Thomas, wait!" Elvis exclaimed when Thomas took to his hills, running towards the bush.Elvis and Felix followed Thomas. None of them had a slightest clue of what they were after, all Thomas knew was that he had to catch up with it, he had to know what creature it was.Thomas went on,
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter eighty three : Don't touch anything
As soon as he ended his statement he felt the hand of someone wrap around his right palm."Don't be afraid, it is Elvis,""Guys, look," Felix interrupted and Thomas looked upwards to see a tiny ray of moonlight shining directly into the cave."The magic has just begun," Elvis whispered."I don't see how a ray of moonlight is something magical," Thomas objects."Patience my friends, just give it time," Elvis said.Thomas noticed ten other rays of moonlight burst out of other tiny holes and in a few seconds he noticed a bright light from his side which attracted his attention and that of Felix. It was a crystal and it was illuminated by the rays deflecting it to other crystals and gradually the place got brighter and brighter until everything was visible."Wow… What…" Felix exhales softly. He was speechless as was Thomas and Elvis.Thomas furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Amused by all he was seeing he turned to Elvis and said. "Does the king know about this place?""No. I was told tha
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter eighty four: Accepting responsibility
"Do I have a choice?" He said, staring straight into her eyes which were intensely searching his. "If I have a choice then I will be in for a bargain. I will willingly drop the position for someone more capable," "You are the only one that is capable, Thomas," Elise said. "I don't think anyone else could handle it better than you because if they could bear the burden it would have been given to them but you were chosen because you are different. You are strong, you are brave, you are a hero and until this is over we will always stand by your side, we will do that because we love and believe in you,"Thomas saw the sincerity in her eyes. Her words were so encouraging and he could feel it in his marrows. He was short of words and all he could do was stare."Thank you for believing in me, I will try my best not to let you all down," He said softly and she reached her hands to him, wrapping them around his palm."You won't fail us, I know we will all make it out together," She assured him
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter eighty five : The warning
Elise was right, I should never have come in here and now I am stuck. Thomas thought to himself. He clenched his fist tightly as he stared furiously at Caleb."If you won't let me go, I will injure you so badly that you will have no other choice than to do as I say,""Now that's what I am talking about," Caleb smiled.Thomas attacked him furiously but all his attempts to touch Caleb were in vain. Not a single punch was able to get to him, all he did was make a fool of himself."I thought you were better than this, maybe you should try something more threatening," Caleb said and Thomas sprinted in again. driving many punches towards him but they all ended up in the air.His muscles were drained, and his arms felt weak from constant spinning not to speak if his last attempt which ran him Into the wall.Caleb laughed at him scornfully. He jerked, he scoffed. "This isn't working Thomas, you are really pathetic. I wonder how you were able to beat seven teacher in a fight with this feeble s

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

"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

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
