Chapter 11: Cage of Time

2021-09-12 02:45:03Elena held the black cord that connected the present to the past world, carefully trying not to break it. Electricity ran on the lines and she had to keep it intact or else, the world would break and it would be the end of it all.
She thought it was just easy until she was there. The lines of Time were too tiny. It was too difficult to keep it steady. To add, she had to divide herself - each essence to each period. But, how difficult it may be, there was no turning back. She's in the game now. She had to retrieve the egg and see what was too important about it.
With a great push, she released her Selves out from one body. She closed her eyes, concentrated on one thing, and looked at each period where she was supposed to send these Selves. It was

Chapter 12: Relief Cigarettes and opium perfumed the place. Albert entered. His eyes wandered through the room scanning for familiar faces. The Night Children were there. He was not aware of the place until Kristina revealed the place. It was a three-floor house. On the first floor, the dining tables were found. Dinner was served and Monica, the cook, just finished with the dishes. “Hello, Albert,” she greeted him. “Looking for her?” “Is she here?” he smiled. Across the room, three had been a few diners. “Not so busy today?” “Nah,” Monica replied. “The Hunt is over and most of Night Children returned to the city. It’s more comfortable there than living here.”

“Welcome, sister,” Miranda embraced her and then kissed her on the cheeks as a symbol of acceptance. “This is the Temple.”“Incredible!” Kristina commented after Miranda released her on her casual hug. “You managed to keep this place so hidden from Albert.”“A girl has to live,” Miranda took her on the arms. “Come. Let us take a walk.”Kristina followed her lead. “So tell me, Miranda. What odds can you think of breaking the veil?”Miranda smiled. Her silver hair was braided in a queenly manner. Her skin pale shone just like all the other vampires. Compared to Kristina, she’s almost a white shadow.“The veil will break in its own time. Someone already has the Ring of Darkness. A command is all what we are waiting.”“Who has it?”“No idea,” Miranda cued her to enter the Garden. The Temp

She’s a Time Traveler. Time was her only specialty. But now she had no knowledge of how long she was caged there. Days? Months? Years? Millennia? She had no idea.She had tried to break the walls of her circle but it was the strongest she had encountered. No magic could defy time. It was a Master on its own.She’s tired and now; she’s on the verge of giving up.“You become so weak,” a voice said. “I know,” she replied without looking. She had visitors though she could not tell how often. Time had no meaning there.“You lost your interest in the world or even living the best.”“I can’t even get out of this cage!” Elena screamed. She’d been furious. This visitor came just to slap what she’s got so badly. Then, there she was again. She saw the little girl with the red hood and ponytail.“You can talk to people outside your cage. You are a traveler,” the little girl said.“Who are you?”“That’

They left just after the ambush - after she just offered to lead some of those in the campsite out of the forest. She abandoned them in the tavern to be meat of hungry demon children.Albert command was that they would provide protection to those in the camp - not for those who left. Kristina could not stop to be amazed how vampires could manage the truth. She found them too clever and now she felt so foolish on not even looking for loopholes on a Constants command.After her brief tour with Miranda, it was the first time she understood some things. For the first time, she began to question herself. Right then, she was renewed. Her faith was restored.The taverns tenants were so happy of the fresh meat and blood. They did not hunt for humans if it was not the Hunt. However, they could not deny offered food. That’s how Vampires created their traps. Unlike the Night Children under Albert’s, they made traps like wha

He knew he was scaring them all - the Night Children and those stranded humans. It was several nights ago since the howling destroyed the peace of the forest. He could control himself but after that specific betrayal, his urges tempted him so madly. He had to roam or else he had to hunt. The latter was highly not on season yet.He gathered all the Night Children. It would be the Hunt on the coming three days but he made a special call to those who were not yet damned."Kristina's damned!"To those who could understand it, the news scattered all throughout the forest. Albert never doubted it reached the Vampire Queen. That's not a wonder even - vampires were magical reporters. They would know it even without or even before the announcement.The t

"So, tell me, why you talked like you don't know me?" Joy asked. "And, what do you mean about me as a channel?""It's just a new concept to me. I read it on some books on Time Traveling. I never tested it before," Elena admitted. "Glad it works.""So, it was a suicide plan?" Joy asked. "If it did not work, you just sent me to some stranger with your face who does not have any hint of compassion?""Dying in Challenge is suicidal," Elena defended. "At least, I have a plan."They were surrounded by a great nothingness except by the glory of the scattered fragments of all the exploded and destroyed planets and dimensions in space. Back on Earth, these remains shone as an illusion. It happened that a chemical reaction in the atmosphere made these rocks and stones shone in glory where in fact space had unimaginable temperature - extreme cold on the other side of the planet and extreme hot when the sun hit the skin."Right.

The hunt excited all of the Night Children - especially this one. Though Albert could not tell why he still didn't care. What mattered was that he was angry and he could throw things and wreak havoc on the forest.Several tourists might have noticed the gloom in there that some took their senses in good care and went home. Ray told him that he was too busy preparing the Night Children for their feast and that he was always forgetting the midnight of the Hunt - there was a Duel challenged to him by Miranda."I am wondering how do you prepare?" Ray asked Albert. There was no tavern already. The vampires took possession of it like they were entitled to the place when Kristina betrayed him - when she betrayed them."I will fight her to the death," Albert replied. "Vampires would no way lead the Night Children.""You are an immortal.""You know things about Constants?""A two or three.""A Constant can only be

The Reign was hers. Albert disappointed his people after proclaiming his intent on dueling Miranda - and it was Kristina who had changed her mind.A woman.Starting there, events were about change. This was the point when no one could tell what's next to happen. This was the point which Miranda prepared so much.The killings were disgusting and she did not wish on repeating all the gruesome bloodshed all over again so she might retain her memory - hers and all those who damned their souls for trusting her.The Hunt would soon start and Albert never showed up. Kristina was standing beside her and though she told nothing about talking with Albert, it was unnecessary. Miranda smiled. Kristina lied to Albert. Lied. Kristina, the Night Cat showed her devotion to the plan and it was all that mattered. Things, from there, would start to be interesting and she was excited to see the Phoenix - who the hell she was.

"Have you eat something already?" Betty asked. "It's still a long day ahead."I did have," he replied. "A little. The young men ate all of it."That's why they looked so happy," she commented. "It's as if they actually made a joke that so silly."That is right," Rudolf said. "Who are their parents?"I don't know," she answered. She called the thin girl to come over her. "Well, young men these days, what could you possibly expect?"Generous?"Betty laughed at that. So hard and she was almost knocking herself. Rudolf didn't understand much though what's so hilarious with the statement."I am so sorry," she apologized as she wiped the little tears on her eyes. "That was the funniest thing I've heard since the . . . crash. Generous might have been a word when humanity knew how to build houses and created a neighborhood. Not possible on a time of survival."You can be wrong at that too," he said. "I have been generous

It must be a wonderful morning. The breeze felt warm to the skin and great for breathing. It felt more like having a good sunbath on a late afternoon twilight. She opened her eyes and her very own private pool in the secret underground of the Palace satisfied her with the things she would never felt outside.She used to be alone - even before. So, it did not matter to her. She learned that being alone was much better to be with someone who wished no blessings for her. There were too many who wished to be closed with her - to befriend her. However, those whom she learned to give entrance to her personal life were either dead or a villain."This is much better," she said to no one in particular. "If your cage gives you satisfaction, why do you need to get out?"Prisoners in jail are given food, shelter and clothes. They just have to do some chores like what we do in the house as mortals.

Since the two brothers left Betty's Haven, Ray felt an absolute uneasiness. He knew where and when they went. As a Siren, he made himself quite acceptable in the knowledge of keeping track of those who passed the threshold that kept reality from fantasy. Those thresholds discouraged so many travelers and those who aspired because it was a great pit of eternal darkness. But he knew that those who understood the principles of crossing boundaries between the times, that eternal darkness only held eternal mysteries to the unknown. However, the traveler should know what he was doing for that matter or else he would find himself somewhere he did not wish to be. He'd be lost for eternity as well.Ray made peace on waiting them. But as the day grew tenser and the Night Children broiling around, he gave up peace. He's still Betty's little Mark. So, to avoid suspicion which was entirely difficult to avoid, he gave himself a mysterious sickness that the poor young lady kept herself busi

She looked back on the wooden stairs which spiralled the Great Tree of the Sky Kingdom. This tree stood thousands of years, towering around a thousand miles from the ground. Everything looked like ants down from there and the wind whooshed and howled like a giant storm was coming."You know Rudolf's portals?" Ray, the Siren, asked behind her.Elena did not turned to face him. She knew what he would say and she did not care about it. The Sirens made their way with the gods and there was no point of befriending them if their loyalty could not be trusted"Yes," Elena replied. "Rudolf is a powerful Magician."You should know that he does not make portals before," Mark announced, not moving from where he was standing. "I am a Siren and the making of gates and portals should only be known to Sirens."And yet, Rudolf knows. Is that his mistake that you taught him how to muster the gift?Of course, Elena knew that the late King of the Sky King

Standing over the porch, overlooking the view of the Mountains, brought up so many fond memories. The green valleys downwards and alive browns of earth - woods and the rich humus - reminded her when things were just simpler. The smelt of fresh tropical air signalled that summer was coming - and summer was the time of joy.A lot of times, she wondered if she could just turn back time and lived there for eternity - repeatedly. She did have the opportunity and now she dreaded it. To be stuck there for eternity was not a blessing. It never was. It was not living afterall. Time was something you spent and never take back. One should either dreaded it or cherished it for there such no thing as perfect.Raymund the Siren waited in the black room. This room was the only place where Sirens were admitted since in the Highlands, Sirens were considered dangerous. That might be because they never admitted themselves under the Reign of the Three States. They chose to be different, a
