Jack Medallion System

chapter 7

Jack Harrison stared at the numbers for a moment before the screen disappeared again, leaving him with more questions than answers.was this some how connected? Did the system have a reason for reminding him of his abilities now, just before the execution of someone like Charles Oliver?, a criminal who may have had knowledge of hidden powers or ancient secrets?, Jack pushed the thought aside for now.

He didn't know what to make of any of this. All he knew was that today, he would witness something that could change his understanding of the city and maybe himself.

After dressing, Jack steeped out of his room to meet Mrs Sophie by the door.

Together that .ade their way to the council headquarters where the execution of Charles Oliver would be done. Jack couldn't shake the feeling that whatever happened but would be a important, not just for the city but for him as well.

As Mrs Sophie and Jack Harrison made their way down the narrow streets, they moved along the crowd of people also heading towards the council headquarters. The atmosphere was tense and was filled with anticipation and murmured conversations about the execution of Charles Oliver. People whispered about his crimes the terror he had spread and the Justice they were about to witness.

Jack Harrison walked in silence and was still felling uneasy about what is a about to happen. Jack moved closer to Mrs Sophie who was also feeling uncomfortable about the event but she did d her best to hide it. The city building stood tall as the shadow of the building casted down on the streets.

As they near the edge of the city, the crowd squeezing themselves through a narrow alley which makes them slow down. Jack Harrison glanced around as he began to feel a strange unease as he was sure that something was off but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Then suddenly the murmurs of the crowds were interrupted by a deep growl.

Jack froze as he turns his head towards the sound coming from the other street blocking the narrow path ahead, he noticed to people who look strange and dangerous among the rest of the crowds.

The first one was an orc with a rough green skin, huge muscles and a twisted snarl in his face. The teeth came out from the mouth and it's yellow eyes was scanning the crowds if it were hunting prey, the orc grunted which made people nearby to shiver in fear.

Beside the orc stood a creature even more scary, a half human, half dragon hybrid. It's human features were mixed with dragonic traits, as it have sharp scales covering it's arms and neck and it's eyes was red looking like a predatory gaze. The skin has some metallic sheen and the claws was huge and sharp as they he stood beside the orc, smoke could be seen coming out from it's nostrils as it was certain that fire breath was beneath the surface.

The crowd went silent and panic began to spread among the people as soon as they realized the danger. Some began to flee while others stood there frozen and unsure of what to do.

Mrs Sophie face was looking pale as she instantly pulled Jack Harrison closer to her.

"Stay behind me, these people are bandits, they prey on crowds like this" she whispered and her voice was filled with fear.

The orc showed its teeth as it steps forward as it eyes glanced around the people like prey while the half dragon hissed.

"Give us your valuable items and no one has to get hurt" the half dragon demanded as his voice let out a low growl as he spoke.

Jack Harrison heart began to race and his adrenaline began to rush through him as he watched how the crowd began to panic and people were holding on to their belongings and moving back slowly. Mrs Sophie stood tall as she was refusing to show fear but Jack Harrison could sense her worry.

The orc moves forward as it raise it huge hands as if it was preparing to smash through anyone that would resist while the half dragon scales was blinking in the sunlight and it's claws ready to strike.

Jack could feel the system within him and suddenly the system screen displayed beside his eye but he was the only one that can see it.

Jack Harrison was finding it hard to breath as he was feeling scared. The system was responding to the threat and offering Hun the use of his abilities he had barely began to understand.

The energy blade was now an option ready for him to summon but he hesitated as he began to wonder if he could really fight these creatures and if he was capable of fighting and also the thought of confronting them was running through his mind.

But there was no time for him to think. The orc snarled again and raising it's huge arms high and rest to swing down on the nearest person.

Mrs Sophie glanced at jack Harrison as her face was filled with concern.

"Jack, stay close! Don't do anything reckless!" She siad.

Jack Harrison mind raced as he ha never used the system in combat before and he didn't know if he could control it but he couldn't just say and by and watch innocent people get hurt. His hand began shake and stop for some seconds, as he felt a strange warmth in his palm as if the energy blade was calling him and he knew he had to make a decision and fast.

The orc roars and half dragon claw was prepared to destroy it next victim. Jack could feel the tension in the air as his heart was pounding as the danger closed in.

As the bandits pushed Mrs Sophie to the ground, Jack Harrison felt a surge of anger swell inside him and the sight of Mrs Sophie lying helpless in the ground and surrounded by the laughing figures of the orc and the half dragon made him feel the burning sense of injustice.
