LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 39: Keepers Journey

"What is it, hurry up! We're the only ones who aren't there," Limwell said to his friends."This it is, oh. Wait for me!" Jerome shouted as he chased after his friend.When he chased him, he put his arm around his friend and smiled."Zeke will be happy when he sees us in our graduation gowns," said Jerome who was adjusting his gown that was flying in the wind."That's for sure. The three of us dream to graduate and get our diploma!" Limwell replied as he gripped the stiff folder containing his diploma."I didn't expect us to graduate, we're just copying Zeke. Hahaha.""It only means one thing, the diploma we hold is for him not for us," Limwell laughed too."There they are!" said Jerome and ran towards the Keepers."Sorry, we're late," said Limwell looking at the Keepers wearing their graduation gowns."No worries. We just got here too," Toffer replied, smiling at them."Any last words for the Dark Mind?" Darwin s

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   AUTHOR'S NOTE

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 1: An Old Book

"Hey, where are you going?" my classmate Limwell asked. "Outside. Call of nature," my emotionless response. "It's forbidden to leave the tent at this time. You know the rules at this camp." "What do you want? My bladder to burst?" "It's up to you. I just warned you. When Dean Sumaway sees you, you will be suspended for a week." I didn't answer anymore and went out of our tent. The cool breeze greeted me. I looked at the tents I passed as I headed for a large tree not too far away. "It's okay here," I whispered. After I peed, I was about to go back to our camping tent when suddenly someone grabbed my arm. My legs shook when I saw who was holding my arm. I saw an old man with a wrinkled face. He had a long beard and was dressed in rags. In short, he was a hermit. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" I stuttered.

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 2: Dark Master Mind

I hurriedly opened my room and searched for the old book. Earlier I was anxious to go home to find out what was going on with me. I was shocked not to find the book on my study table. Where was it? I knew it was here because I had seen it this morning. I hurried down and looked for Nanny Guring. She was the only one that I allowed to enter my room because I didn't want anyone to know about my belongings. "Oh son, why are you in a hurry? Are you hungry already?" she asked when she saw me pacing frantically. "Nanny, where did you take my book?" My question was direct. "What book? Is it your old book? I threw it away. Obviously, you don't read it anymore," she said smiling. "What? Didn't I tell you not to throw away anything that belongs to me? Where did you throw it? I need it!" I almost screamed at the old woman. "I'm sorry. I thought..." "Find it! I

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 3: The Medallion Keepers

Lyka's words kept haunting me. I am the most powerful of the thirteen medallions. I am the key to open Loowa's Kingdom. I will be the answer to end the coming war. If what she said was true, why me? What was it about me and me being chosen to be given such power? "It's time for you to come, Big Brother." I was surprised when a child suddenly appeared in front of me. I was about to enter our main gate when he spoke. "I don't have any money, kid. Maybe tomorrow." No emotion betrayed my face. "Wow, so judgmental. I don't need you, you need me," he said smiling. "What do I need from a child like you?" My response was as annoyed as I was feeling. "Tell me first what happened to you all day?" he asked and sat down on the plant box in front of the gate. "Why should I tell you? What are you doing in my life?" My

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 4: Let The Game Begin

I thought it was just the wind touching me, but I was shocked to feel someone hugging me from behind. I looked at the hand that was slowly moving to my stomach. "What the hell? F*ck you!" I shouted as I removed his hand. I confronted him and I wasn't wrong. A decaying corpse had embraced me. In my fear and nervousness, I hurriedly ran. Dead people seemed to want to meet and chase me. I didn't know where I was going but I needed to get out of there. In the depths of the night and the smoke coming out of the tomb and in the emptiness, I had a hard time escaping them. "Ezekiel, behind you!" A man shouted. It was Ronnie. I turned around and saw two dead bodies approaching me with worms all over their bodies. I retreated which caused me to be out of balance and knocked me down into a tomb. Because of the hard fall, I could hardly get up. I just stared at the two corpses that wanted to attack me. I didn't know what they would do. They looked scary a

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 5: Loowa's Kingdom

"Hey!" Jerome tried to get my attention, poking me. I wasn't paying attention to his stories; I just couldn't erase from my mind what had happened earlier."What's that?" I asked him without any emotion."Ezekiel! I'm asking why you were with Lyka earlier? Are you dating her?" His question was just sad."Of course not. We just met. Are you jealous?" I asked with a smile."Why should I be jealous? I just don't trust her. There seems to be something strange about her. Is something wrong?" he asked seriously, looking at nothingness."I saw her last night. She was talking to an unfamiliar woman. Probably her relative." he said, frowning at me. What if she was talking to a woman? What's the issue with that?"But what amazes me is that they were holding a book as if they didn't know what it was. The woman was trying to snatch it away. Lyka didn't want to give the book. The

LOOWA'S KINGDOM   Chapter 6: City of Gen-Train

"Where are we?" Fritzie asked irritatedly as we walked through the thick and messy forest. "I don't know either. Are we doing it right, Zeke?" Ronnie asked. "I'm not sure either. But I think we're on the right track," I said. "Let's just follow the path where the women went earlier" "Why did you stop?" Ronnie asked as Fritzie stopped walking. He was the one in front of us. "I hear something. Let's hide!" Fritzie replied then quickly pulled us into the corner of the forest. Slowly we peered over the tall grass that covered us. "Them again?" Ronnie said when he saw the two women walking. "That's a different woman. If you look closely, they're thinner. But they're wearing the same clothes," Fritzie replied. "Let's go to our pets," said another woman. I understood what she said. What pet was she referring to? "T
