Chapter 20 “The Issues in the Deep”
/AdrianThere are little moments about life that you may regret later. But there is nothing quite like the same two events repeating themselves all the same way, that makes you boil with anger, before having regret.I’m pacing in my office. Puffing out angrily. Rummaging in my head about when and what went wrong. What ‘might’ have gone wrong. The “Echo” is going well, although there are disturbances that violate security of the whole operation.The Grande plan that had been executed stage by stage for so long… The wanted documents, tech, all were going smoothly. But then the ripples began.People that were sent in - were all administered into where they must be, having the information that needs to be right there and then, playing their parts well. But there still is something causing ripples. Damn things do not work well!I swooped the table. Having all that was atop - fly off, hitting floor. Whiskey glass crushing against the wall.“Muppets! Who on this damn planet would pry on my p
Chapter 21 “As it slowly gets Back”
/MerinI have the persistence of a very jealous wife, who tries to accomplish what I began. I want to see what my eyes want to see, my heart shut its door to it permanently. I am used to accomplishing all I set out for. Adrian was of no mistake one of those goals. Though with years that goddamn son of a bitch showed his true colours of emotionless, cold-brick bastard.Sure, he can be the multi-billionaire Adrian, the fucking holder of sixty percent of shares to AIO, the good looking man of science and progress that allows the new generations to blossom. But guess what?This bitch is using me as a great asset, due to me being the daughter of the founder of a medical company that made billions due to greatest inventions. I am the one that helps him when dealing with board of directors, those old fucking bastards that cling to damn heavens of medical advancement to keep them going. Like, even viagra is not the answer when it’s all old and unable to work. Just leave it the fuck alone, bu
Chapter 22 “More than one Battlefront”
/DavidOrins really concerned look surprised me, as I "returned". She took out a handkerchief to wipe blood from a corner of my mouth, once done, she went to turn the music off.I checked the watch, from here - I was gone for no more than five-ten minutes.“I ah, I walked around the flat… And uh, then you just suddenly had a seizure, with blood going out of your ears and mouth. I… I did as you asked and managed to slap you out of it.” - Orin trembled slightly.Indeed, witnessing a person going through the damn jump to this extent is indeed a painful sight.“Can you get something to drink? I'm parched.” – I asked as I tried to get up, but dizziness got me to stay seated.Slight nod and Orin went to get some water. She checked the cabinet for cups and pulled one out. She poured the water from the container, then took it to the coffee table near the couch.“How did it go?” – Her worries were written all over her face.I took a few gulps, gathering thoughts that had to be said.“Elyon is
Chapter 23 “The Sadness of every Matter”
/NikoBird tweeting is joyous, sun is shining bright, wind is caressing skin softly. Yet the sour faces of the gentlemen are annoying to boot. I kept my hands in my pockets, as I walked. Knight walked beside Erick at all times, just like Yuki did. Both were pressured about recovering their Rose, as well as keeping him safe. Ary lead way.Ary sometimes would be there to join me, without any words, to walk beside me. There was the sense of the pain and camaraderie that was only shared in this miniscule way we could. Others were not part of it.“Your brother is up to some really interesting things.” - I let out quietly, so others would not hear, as we were going through the woods.“I’m not even surprised that you know of him and what he does.” - Ary said dryly.“Even though you are like that, he might be interested in, maybe, getting to know you again.” - I said.Ary gave me a glance.“As much as my brother Verin is a pompous brat, he’d not ever dare speak to me. After the blessings we’
Chapter 24 “No longer in Focus”
/NikoThe entrance to this forsaken place was guarded by scale covered ash ghouls. All this menace was left for Ary to deal with, well, enough killed for us to make way to get in. For more than one reason Ary was deeply involved in this mess. Using his dark magic Ary managed to get all of us inside the ruined castle safely.Halls were long and dark, light was a luxury here, since all that was made to have light was broken a long time ago. Moon lizards were roaming around halls, with their claws scratching walls and ceiling as they moved around.The sudden cracking sound of the burning furnace and weeping in pain was audible. It felt like outside had become a sort of menacing purgatory. The sound of ghouls, screeching in agony, as they burned alive.“That’s a dragon. Calm down.” – Gabriel said.“What’s a dragon doing here?” – Asked Yuki.“Occasionally these creatures migrate further from Sky Garden. Perhaps this one got fascinated by all the murky ghouls here and decided to have fun by
Chapter 25 “Dead come back to live”
/NikoLong underground hallway that leads to the sacred room. In its possession is a sacred weapon, capable of slaying anyone and anything in this realm whether monster or human, magical or not.This weapon is blessed with a Demons strength, Goddesses light, Witches curse, Human hope and the Elders bliss. The makers of the weapon held great power once. If legends are speaking the truth - some of them are still alive. Still wielding great power.The basic ones to cast such a great feat on a piece of an item were quite the messy lot - Me, Anne, Goddess, Ary and Maddy. We did so when the War with Fifth Realm came to us.The King of Sopdar is seeking protection by possessing this weapon. He and his army are crossing the mountain of Three Saint Sages. Ready to rampage the towns, take over the land, then get the weapon and rule this world, or more accurately - the remains of this world.They still don’t know many flaws this weapon has, nor the fact that only ones who travelled through paral
Chapter 26 “Famished Savage”
/Verin“Just how long is it going to take?” - Resam looked at my struggles. Dealing with technology that was more than a century old.“Give me some time. One must keep patience.” - I fiddled with mechanisms.Loud roar of the dragon shook the earth, sending shivers. Huge armoured dragon landed in the resistance camp. Forces of protectors have come together here to be ready for when the King's men will attack.Elvish man, the same who gave lift to David, stepped off from the dragon's back, holding onto armour that covered the beast. He looked around, eyes seeking for someone. Dragon grunted, which got a slight tap on the nose from the man. Elf gave another look to the surrounding soldiers, then his eyes met with Resams' gaze, making him walk towards this old man.“This barrier mechanism needs some elvish touch.” - He spoke, as he pushed me aside, then switched some gears on this old thing. The moment he said something in Elvish, producing the last click with a switch - gears went in mot
Book II : Chapter 1 “The Bartender and The Lady”
/HikaruThus far, operating from where I was with Niko, I understood that I do need help. Keeping that girl in a safe place is one thing, but no matter what I do - her memories do not seem to return. It's like battling the air, when there is nothing helping.The one thing that came by is a person she once worked with. A very cold person that cleaned the streets from thugs with his own gang of misfits, eventually becoming one of the notorious leaders, keeping own order to things, keeping the whole system as he willed it. I managed to know that with time, he left it all for her and another person to run, as he went into "hiding".Though, I guess he was just fed up with the endless mess that had to be controlled. He opened the flower shop, with a bar on the floor above. Still being the hand that controls decisions from the shadows, being a bartender who only appears for certain people.It took me a bit of time to find him through the parallels, to find the right one with the flower shop a
Book II : Chapter 2 “The plan”
/NikoI walked behind Killian, further in and down - a specially built cellar that also was used as a cell for the interrogations, from way back when. Occasionally it was indeed 'checked-in', as once in a while we had some issues with some bits that came from other realities. Ones that mainly posed problems for us, due to the high influence of Adrian. That damn brat.Killian got the girl out, put her on the chair, tied her up, just for safety reasons. Then courteously got to go. Before he left, I caught him by the hand, halting his stride."Do not share a single thing there. I'll check what he's done, then we'll plan." - I said.Killian drew closer to my face, giving me a peck on my forehead."It's okay your Majesty. I got it." - He replied, gave me a pat on the shoulder and left.I turned to my other 'half'. So then. What did happen for Killian to so easily and so hastily get you here? I came closer, touched her forehead. She moaned up, slowly moving. As she wakes up. That made me hav
Book II : Chapter 3 “The Travel Begins”
/NikoAs I was mulling over how to rid the space from Leo, Killian came in."What the hell?" - His concerned voice was heavy."Send Leo away somewhere. So we have some time to plan things. Call in Ary. We're in trouble." - That's all I can let out.Killian gives a nod, as he goes out. I'm still on the floor, trying to catch my breath, to sort of think up what's next.Somehow - getting the full gang of who I AM aware of - should do some trick. Should help somehow.A few minutes later - Killian returns."He's out. Come on." - He comes over, hands softly picking me up, carrying me to the bar, helping me onto the padded chair."I called Ary. He's on his way." - Killian spoke. Decisiveness, strength is in his voice. A person one can rely on. Someone who is there no matter what. A balm to my soul, to say currently."Babe, I saw the psychopath in action." - I begin. - "You know how the damned White Hare was ape shit mad at torture?""Oh that absolute nutcase? Yup." - Killian says."Haha, yea
