"Are you saying that this guy is into some kind of cosmic activities or whatever?"Mercury queried."I know right? It's sounding very dreamy. What got into my skin was when he went, *You are the little fickle of light in my darkness*. Like what was that supposed to mean?""Okay, at this point I am keeping an open mind ready to not be surprised at any other stuff I see or hear in this goddamn place. It's the only way to remain sane." Mercury said expressing her self by raising her hands up. " I don't know its, it's just like we're in some kind of contemporary paranormal movie scene." "Yeah, like Casper and Stir of echoes?"Mercury added as she gave a big sigh and chuckled. "On the day of the Escort Mission. I will be your partner Mercury, that way I can find a chance and go up to the President's office with nobody looking for me. I will find the book and then we move." "I hope it will be that easy." "I will have to try. It's the only way to go there. If we screw it this first tim
We left the Marshalls for the Escort Mission very early in the morning on a helicopter, having General Gal as the pilot on board. We were heavily equipped and on our flak jackets with many pockets containing grenades, bullets and tactical knives.I had to carry a backpack for my second, personal mission.I sat, on the copter's landing rail with Sharpe carrying our guns. I was never afraid of heights but depth. Sharpe seemed to be afraid of nothing. She is a one tough person, reminds me of someone I once knew, Asher.I and Mercury were assigned to stand with the President during his few minutes speech.The Ashock Leyland driver and his company also went to were they were asked to position. Moses is a skilled driver and he was to be trusted.The eight of us had our code for communication, unit one to four, each unit with two Soldiers also in the code, rain and shine.* Rain. Shine. Units* Arms. Gal. 1* Mercury. Helion. 2* Janet.
Now, inside the elevator, I was standing infront of the two Dogma beasts.My senses were so high, I had to close my eyes to read there movement behind me.They knew I was an enemy. Closing my eyes and using my instinct, I stood so still, you could mistake me for a mannequin because I knew, any misguided step and they would pounce on me and that would definitely be the end. But I wanted to take the fight to them. So I calculated how to do that, dealing with one is enough but two? I had to be very smart.The one on my right started drawing on his knife, it fell from his hand unfortunately, bending down to pick it, I seized the opportunity.I immediately stepped on the knife and on his hand too, with my left elbow, I knocked the one on my left who was already making to attack me but I was faster. Swiftly I turned, holding the one on my right on his head with my two hands. I hit his head on the floor from his squatting position so hard, his eye popped out of his head, he yelled in pains as
"So, Sharpe. What exactly happened to your snipers?"I asked Sharpe when I got a little strength. Mercury did something that made me to like her the more. Coming to the mission with my water flask. I forgot it, but she remembered. "Man, I don't know really. It doesn't make sense it was preposterous. Thank God I was not assigned alone, because if not, you guys would have thought of me as a lunatic. Anthony please help me out." "These people are in some kind of cosmic stuffs, Vudu, whatever. We had to put normal people on target, it will be very clear, but then we'd put the Dogmarians back on target and it would go blur. I am so convinced, they are into some fetish stuffs." Anthony added. "Adding to what is happening to Henry, there is no other way to put it."Julius chipped in, looking at me lustfully even with my shit looking face.The General remained quiet all the while.Then I looked at Mercury, she looked back at me and I saw it in her eyes, she was thinking what I was thinking
I woke up the next day, on the floor.Man, I was a mess, someone had been trying to wake me up. It was Yuvonne and I was having a head bang from last night's.Speaking of last night, I took the letter from the floor and crumpled it fastly so that Yuvonne would not see the agonizing letter, I don't know how disastrous it will be when she sees it, so I made sure to keep it out of her reach, for the moment, or possibly forever. "What in the hell are you doing on the floor looking like shit?"Yuvonne asked, squatting down to have a look. "Where have you been Yuvonne? I was awake all damn night waiting on you" "Really? Are you gonna answer my question with a question, what's up with your eyes, did someone throw you a blow? And your temple, Helion, you look horrible." "Yeah, yeah. I know. It's uhmm, you know from yesterday. C'mon gimme a hand here." I said stretching out my hand and she helped me to stand up. I turned around and made for the shower with the letter still under my dress.
"Janet, you sure know my name, I am not a Nerd" "Oh, sorry my bad, what's your name, Mercury?"Janet said in a mocking manner.Auch, that was loud. I felt for Mercury. Her name is sure not Mercury. I guess I caused it. "So, uhmm, Janet what do you want?" I asked Janet who was already sitting down comfortably. She brought out an inhaler and inhaled deeply. Putting it back in her pocket, she started smoking again. "I came here to know what you guys are doing with that giant of a book. I saw Nerdy carrying it to the dorm, so I followed. I have always known you two to be up to something and I was right all along. Wasn't I?" "Wait a minute, is that an Albuterol?You are ashmatic and yet you smoke?"Mercury asked in awe. "Your soul needs redemption, Janet. I guess you don't know what you are doing to yourself.'I said to her. "Oh, don't worry about me. We live to die, don't we?" "Oh, boy."Mercury muttered in her unbelief. Then I signaled Mercury to start reading because we don't ha
"Hold up, Nerdy, are you like interpreting that from Vikings to English?"Sharpe asked. "How's that for a Nerdy huh?"Mercury threw back. "Oh, you are a gem. Guess you are not much of a nerd. Except for your uhmm. Your glasses." "Listen, Sharpe. We wouldn't want nobody to hear about this. If you can keep your mouth mute?"I said, "Hmm. What do I get in return. If I keep it confidential?" "Don't worry, I've got just what you would like."I went to my room and got her a bottle of whiskey. "Wow! looks like a deal now. Nobody is gonna hear."She said opening the bottle and Mercury continued, turning the next page. "Batistar had all three anchors in his Madorina and each of the chains are about, three thousand fts in length. So, he and his men went to work, Separating each chain from it's anchor and adding it to the one anchor that would be kissing the Treasure Aqua's floor.When they were done, the anchor and the chains grew so heavy, their Madorina was beginning to sink, but that
"Is that the end?" I asked Mercury who checked the other pages of the book. "Uh, well, this is the important ones yet. Let's analize the book." "Here?"I asked her giving her an eye sign that Janet is sleeping right in her room.So we tiptoed and left the room. Seeking privacy.We went to the back of our camp. "Shadock was sure not a friend. He was more of a devil to me."Mercury said. "Yeah, they sure had always been devils.He was playing a wild card. The good guy card, whereas he actually was the bad guy. Good thing he later died." "So, the Dogmarians, now, popularly known as the Dogmas had long been using Vudu." "Yeah, and we have to find the PRISON OF STONES, or whatever it was called." "How? The book said it was buried somewhere around the Treasure Aqua.I haven't heard about that water till today."Mercury retorted "What if the Neighboring Domain was Claudia?"I asked trying to make a point, then I continued, "We have the Pacific ocean around here, so maybe through evo
