The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty: the conference
The sun came up the next day and just as agreed everyone gathered in and outside the palace hall to hear what Felix had to say. Felix had explained everything to Kelvin, Thomas and the rest of them so they were not void of the knowledge about what played out. Before now the king had already been kept aside but none of them knew what his outcome would be. He might likely survive it or remain that way until the apocalypse is over because an injury from a dragon flame was almost incurable.Two guards walked Thomas inside with his hands locked with a large chain. They left him standing some feet away from the throne and just then Caleb also walked in.The conference was set and everyone kept silent to hear Felix speak.Felix on the other hand despite his hopes that they will consider him he knew that it was rarely possible. It was just like his friends saying, upset people are hardly convinced."We are all gathered here to witness the words of one of our own. We are all aware of the King's

Immediately after Felix's answer the crowd mused in confusion. They were all perplexed at his comment because no one has ever dared to challenge the king, no one has lived as long as he has."I know you all might be wondering how that is possible and you might even think that I am not being truthful but I assure you this is the truth," he hesitated. "You remember when I told you about how he said he was made; if he was formed by Mara before her death then that means that he was as old as the king. He told the king that they both had a few things in common and that was their long life and their strive to complete their mission. He mentioned that the only difference between the both of them was their purpose, he said that they both wanted to be free and for the king his freedom relied on keeping Thomas alive and setting the runners free, but for him that was different; instead of saving the life of Thomas he was rather supposed to kill him. That was the only way he was going to find free

Kelvin looked at Thomas once more. His hands were tired and there was nothing he could do. As long as the last runner was standing with Kelvin they had the upper hand. He doesn't want to make Thomas choose the leave nor offend him."I understand your point Caleb because I am also a leader and I assure you that there is a better way to resolve this rather than with violence," Kelvin said. He waited for a while and not getting any response he looked around at the people. "Let us ask the people and let them be the judge. If you know that from all you have heard Felix was at fault and deserved to be jailed can you please put up your hand?" He asked and ten persons lifted their hands including Lucy."As you can see, the majority of the people want him released," "Not yet," Caleb said then turned again to the people. "If you think Felix is innocent and should be released, please indicate," He said.Unfortunately there was only a total number of five persons Including Charles. The majority o

“I totally agree with you,” David paused. “However, that didn’t answer my question. If you don’t intend to let anyone know about this then how do plan to find out what the symbol mean,”“There is a library here in the kingdom, I know someone who can guard me through the books and no more questions, please save them for later,” Kelvin stopped David when he was about to ask another question.Back in the prison, Anastasia and Obed were seated in silence with their backs leaned on the wall. Staring at them, anyone could tell that they were frustrated.“I knew that your so-called apprentice will disappoint you,” Obed breaks the silence as she turns to him with her face furrowed like she was about to explode.“Shut up Obed, this was your fault! If you had not opened your mouth in the first place none of this would have happened,” she answered.“What!” he exclaimed in a whisper as he stared at her in disbelief. “Is that how you are to speak to your lover? Now I see why Klaus gave up on you,”

“There is none anywhere else except one place but you can’t go there seeking for it because I promise you that no runner enters there and comes out alive,”“I don’t care what this place looks like so just tell me what I need to know,” she said in a strict tone.“Fine, I will tell you where it is but if anything happens to you don’t say that I didn’t warn you,” he said. “There are these classes of indigenes called the Lunatics and these classes are the most feared among all the indigenes of the dimensions; they are the ones who guard the stones. It is something they are ready to protect with their lives and entering their territory for the purpose of stealing one of those is a suicide mission,”“I have heard of those beings before and I am aware of what they are capable of but that doesn’t mean that I should be afraid of them, so thanks for the advice but for now let me think of how to get these chains off my hands,” she answered.Obed was amazed by her reply and that wasn’t because any
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty five: I won't explode
They were quiet for a while and afterwards Anastasia broke the silence. “You can keep lying to yourself but one day your true emotions will erupt and on that day, you will set the entire kingdom up in flames,” she said.“You have nothing to worry about, none of that will come through because I have a will of my own, I won’t explode. Just give up trying to manipulate me because I am determined to follow this course the right way,” he answered. “What I don’t yet understand about you two is why you choose to be evil when there are great good you can do with your abilities,”“That is because we cannot be like everyone else,” Anastasia answered. “Many of you runners are out there trying to play nice when deep down you want to rule the kingdom and there is a man who refuses to age seated on the throne,” “You are still missing the point. None of this was about becoming king. Something happened to us and many of us were taken away from our families, friends and many other people we love and o
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty six: I don't break my promises
When Silas and Elise arrived outside they saw Thomas standing beside a large dog with many runners which surrounded them. The dog's eyes were full of hate as its teeth displayed aggressively."Oh no, we have to stop them before things get out of hand," Silas whispered."We have seen this dog before, It was the same one that helped us make it through the desert filled with giant snakes," Elise said."Yes, I recognise him but why Is it looking more large and dreadful than before?" Silas said.Still witnessing the scene Kelvin and David showed up with swift instruction that the runners should stand down.They had just discovered the reason the mark appeared, so Kelvin offered to explain everything to Caleb as long as they refrained from attacking the dog.Caleb agreed to his plea as he carried Kelvin apart and Kelvin narrated everything to him, including how the dog had saved them from both giant snakes and a forest lion. He also told him about the mark which appeared on Thomas’s body as
The last runner : Academy of magic Chapter one hundred and thirty seven: apology
It was early that morning when the guards brought Felix peacefully to the community of runners gathered outside to hear the words of the king. The guards led him up to the platform where he met Caleb who was waiting for the king’s arrival.As soon as Caleb set his eyes on Felix his countenance turned pale, Felix could tell that he was sorry for keeping him locked up inside the prison for that long.“I am sorry,” Caleb apologized.“There is no need for that. Actually I am glad you did, but…” Felix answered and before he could complete his statement they were interrupted by the murmuring crowd and that caused Caleb to take his eyes off him as he turned to see the king walk out of the palace, making his way forward.Felix could see through the hearts of the people that they were as baffled at the swift recovery of the king as much as he was but the murmuring soon ceased when the king stopped before them.“I am glad to have you all today. I know that you are all amazed at how swift I was a
