Klaus didn't hesitate as he put his hand on Thomas's body. "Anastasia, I know you can hear me. I need the words," He said gently.'I can't, get to his mind,' she replied."You have to try. We are so close, please try harder,"Kelvin, Rachel and Alex watched in silence. They could hear Klaus speak, they knew he was talking to Anastasia but it was scary because they couldn't hear what she was saying to him. All they could do was predict it through the reaction on Kelvin's face."Something Is wrong. I can sense it," Kelvin said."I don't think you are sensing it. I think we can all see that something isn't right," Alex affirmed.After a little while Anastasia recited the words to Klaus. He repeated the same words with his hands placed on Thomas's body and immediately there was a spark in between his hands and Thomas's body.It was magical, the blue sparks emanated into lightning mixed with fire and while Thomas absorbed the power the colour kept altering."It's working," Rachel said in a
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
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,
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
"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
