Chapter 41: Not yet
Last Updated:
2021-11-12 13:30:46The white ceilings and the ancient stone halls shone brightly that day - more brighter than the days before.
The Council gathered on the White Hall of the Time Palace, certain in rejoicing the waking of the Phoenix. There were wines and wine glasses in the hall and there was food. Travelers had been busy all night drinking up themselves.
"She is not yet awake," Rex said. "We can't celebrate yet.
Rex aka Jason was the last who entered the hall and he was surprised on what greeted him. He could not blame them but this was not even appropriate. They had to prepare themselves more than ever and what a shame for them when she returned and found out this.
No one responded them as it happened that they were all knocked down on the floors. The Council was a little group of Travelers who the Phoenix had chosen and said to be the best. He wondered how they'd become the best.
It must be some wild parties. Wine and liquor bottles collected from different

He followed Ray's instruction when they reached the portal. On the tree, there was a door in there and Ray transformed his index finger into a key. The key looked like a normal key but bigger with numbers and letters on it. He could not read it. It must be a Siren's ancient language he did not know at all. He kept his pace as close as possible with Albert. His halfbrother knew nothing of time travel and although he hated him so much that his blood boiled when he saw him, he still cared. It was not just about them but of all the entire reality. Inside the portal where another more portals. Rudolf knew some of them but Albert knew nothing. They both stopped and wondered what to pick "You don't expect me to choose, do you?" Albert asked. "I certainly have no idea about this time stuff. Go, do your own thing. Rudolf chuckled. He certainly understand that there were literally thousands of choices in front of them and on the other side of the portal

Albert found himself in a younger body. The moment he stepped in the door which Rudolf chose, he did not know what came next except waking up. His bed was full of feather cottons and soft fur. There was a lit fireplace few feet from him. Above the fireplace, on the wall hung a portrait. It was him. Very young and strong. His chin was chiseled his beard was neat. He remembered that it was taken sometime during his acceptance of being second in line. His a prince. Albert did not know how he knew it. It was like it was there all the time and he had lived at it. A knock on door sounded. Albert let the person came in. It was the maid. He might ask how did they know he was awake already but this question was answered by him as well. He told them that it was the hour they should bring his clothes. He got up of bed and quickly found his robe. The golden yellow was his family's symbol. He ran to the showers and started the water.

It felt more like a shadow of a nightmare than a memory. Beth could not remember much of it but she surely knew that it happened. She had scars on her skin to remind her of it and she had a man. Philip reminded her of the incident. If it wasn't of him, she might have forgotten everything at all. It was not an easy journey and she remembered how every patient went through in her life and it created a trauma. In fact, she could never forget the nightmare. She lost so much on those - patients who thrived and the blood, she still dreamed of them. The gush of blood as if it was flooding and the screaming and the smoke and the arid smell of burnt blood. If it wasn't for Philip, she might have died already while sleeping. One time, he was not there with her, so, it was Mark who woke her up. Her sweat was running down her whole body as gravity pulled it down of her while her voice was inaudible. She wanted to talk but her body refused her command. So, she struggled.

The Night Children were immortal except if they starved themselves of blood for three Hunts or they staked their hearts. Miranda overlooked at the floating terrace she had on the Tower of Constants. People roaming were like tiny ants, even tinier than ants, below them. The city lights looked like stars on land, glistening and glimmering against the darkness which flooded them. If humans had any idea of what happened on the magical world right now, they would understand what was happening to them too. And, it would scare them. It happened that they didn't. They needed something to hold on into so that there would never be chaos on the mortal realm when they knew that what they believed in had actually did not have any meaning at all. Imagine if that happened. There would be no meaning of God. And, there were so many gods down there but everyone was sure of who they believed in and no one would claim they were wrong. Let them be. Miranda said to herself. It was

Kristina felt the tension in the room when Constants started to question her ability to lead a group. She smiled gracefully at the thought since it made her even stronger. In her mind, she was flying all across the galaxies, watching the earth from afar as it was waiting for what she would do with it. She was a Night Cat and she wasn't born from yesterday - she was there for all eternity like all the rest of the Constants in the room. She has just forgotten it and that all made the difference. Now, she made the same decision of damning their souls and she got the same advantage with them minus the years that she could not remember at all. It did not matter though. It was repeated history and she desired nothing of riches in the world. Some of the Constants were rich people running the world. That was the very reason why they became rich. They got the upper hand against their competitions and since it was repeated they knew exactly how to win. It was like repe

His last talk with Elena built some barriers between them. Elena avoided him and since, he noticed that the Time Palace's front door was never opened again - except when Elena came out. He took a scroll one night just to watch his army made their preparation for war. He saw that Elena's window was opened and he could see her standing in the terrace, looking over the place. She was watching too and somehow, it made him happy. She was still with him. That just only meant that she was not over with them too. The time had come and the long wait would soon be over. He waited for it patiently and now he would see what his preparation was made for. Los Barrios housed the most qualified magicians in the whole world. There were still out there who tried not to be seen and he respected their desires on that. But the numbers that stood with him was somehow spectacular. He could not blame if the others died on the trainings or some died on challenges. All those who remai

The seas of Jade Island was exceptional. He saw it everyday yet he still loved it. It was home. The home that he prepared so much to come back. In time travel, the traveler only had one chance to go in a particular time period. They could not go back when they had already visited it. And he had to visit it once - as the Phoenix indicated. He waited millinea for this - and he was there now. He smelt the breeze of the seas. The salty chill embraced him like a cloth and he loved to be there. The Mountains was never his home. It was his parents' home and not his. He reminisced the sick treatment his grandfather gave him. It was unfair and he must not told him what he found out in the middle of the forest. There, he learned not to mind other people's business anymore. As an Arium, he could not. He could feel people and it hurt him so much to know about the lies he was told about. He could not pretend that it didn't hurt him anymore. By the minute he heard one, he could fe

Highlands differed nothing from the modern world he had been. Politics played the same dirty trick of power and illusion. From where he stood, he could still smell the stink that fueled all rulers. It would be godsend if one could find just one who was not as greedy as of all he knew. It took too long for him to realize that. When he was still the Reign of Los Barrios, he was blinded by it. He knew it was all for good intentions but he now clearly saw the difference. Everything was personal. His grandfather was right on that and as long he kept his path clear of all the distractions, he would never lost his way towards it. He remembered his half-brother. Rudolf brought him there back in the past. It was a long time now that he almost forgotten his face and the memories started to fade. It shocked him that it was still clear to him even now. He lived different timelines in the future and what happened as of the moment was just a blur. He could say what was about to ha

"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

It would be a glorious day in the Highlands. Or so what Joana thought that early dawShips from the Islands Across the Great Sea had brought the New World in the harbors. When the light of the day will be fully bloom, the trade center would be busy. Thus, such thought made Joana high spiriteThe sites where the armies camped were reigned by full action. Soldiers lined up behind their island ba banners. The kitchen was boosting of movements too. By midnight of the last day, the hunters and the fishers brought their goods as per command of their state heads towards the kitchen. The women attended the arrival then just soon, the bell rang for the breakfast preparatioAs it was agreed that since the Great Wall in the East hadn't down yet, no business would start at the trade center.

Exhausted and starving, Raymond urged himself not to collapse. He pushed his way out to the dark tunnel. At his right side, he supported Elena's weight. If he would collapse, nothing would help them. If he would collapse, who would take of Elena? No. He wouldn't collapse and lost consciousness. He had a lady to take of. The lady so much precious in his lifElena had lost consciousness right when they were about to find a way out from the steel door they had entered from the inside tunnel from the Water Palace. He thought it was exhaustion that Elena fainted but he realized that he even was fainting. The darkness was to thick but it wasn't just the darkness who was tempting him to surrender to unconsciousness. It was these voices. "So many voices I couldn't determine who," he told Elena.
