Chapter-16 [Another Alpha]
Everybody has a little bit of the sun and moon in them. Everybody has a little bit of man, woman, and animal in them. Darks and lights in them. Everyone is part of a connected cosmic system. Part earth and sea, wind and fire, with some salt and dust swimming in them. We have a universe within ourselves that mimics the universe outside. None of us are just black or white, or never wrong and always right. No one. No one exists without polarities. Everybody has good and bad forces working with them, against them, and within them.
The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. When you thought you've solved your problems, making your mind at peace, never knew the worst is yet to come. There are darknesses in life and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights. Always love the light for it shows the way, yet endure the darkness because it shows the stars. Darkness cannot drive
Chapter-17 [William's Rage] A young girl walked into a relinquished hall inside the community stadium. She closed the door as she stepped inside taking her steps carefully. "What made you come late," a deep voice said and the darkened hall suddenly brightened revealing Thompson and Susannah. Thompson sat on a chair at the far end of the hall with a cigarette in his mouth. "Am sorry, I let them sleep before sneaking out" Susannah replied to him with a bright countenance as she walked close to him. "Any new information? Thompson asked, removing the cigarette from his mouth and blowing the smoke out, filling the hall. "Am getting close to him now, but don't know if I can fake him?" Susannah said as she got to him and sat on his lap with her hand across his neck. "I can't connect with your mother for now," Thompson said a
Chapter-18 [Sisters of darkness]The ground wouldn't stop slippery because of the rain. The cold weather took everyone into their quarters early. Funny enough, the moon still came out. People said whenever it rained and the moon still came out, it means the gods are happy. New York has been known to be a place of peace and harmony, back in those days. Now the city is in chaos as various deaths of the innocents' citizens have been recorded. No trail, no suspect, just corpses and the gods are happy. Something is wrong. New York has now become the home of strange things.The heroes sat in the living room waiting for Susannah to come to explain her abrupt disappearance. A few minutes later, she came in and saw them sitting all together. The looks on their faces show she needed to start speaking up before they even questioned her. Mr Richard and his wife also joined them in the sitting room waiting to hear Susannah's explanation.
Chapter-19 [ Price for a dying soul ]Susannah opened her eyes and met herself in a cave, she recalled her first encounter with the old woman and she got terrified. If only she had adhered to her advice, all these happening to her wouldn't have happened. She inhaled deeply as she walked slowly, threading her steps in order not to disrupt the old lady. She knew it was her doing, she met herself in the cave. She walked inside the deep cave and met everywhere glowing. Starlight was everywhere, all hanging in the air. She saw the old woman sitting on a huge golden chair, her head down, with a black staff in her left hand. The cave closed from behind as Susannah moved closer to her which got her more frightened."Why did you call me here?" Susannah managed to utter, one could tell she's more afraid with the intensity of her voice."Why ask for what you know the answer!" The old woman replied coldly which made Susannah s
Chapter-20 [ power ]Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now, you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your reality. Although countless teachings instruct how to obtain enlightenment in a future life, almost all of them are nothing more than expedients, as the ultimate instruction there is simply no teaching that is superior to the true practice of the awakening to one’s nature. Don't get upset with little jerks in life because life is a road and problems are like speed breakers. They saved us from a big accident.If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles. To fight and conquer in all our battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. It is better to conquer you
Chapter-21 [ hopeless ] INSIDE THE DEEP FORESTThunderclap could be heard everywhere because it is nightfall already. The chirping of the birds flying could be heard, the trees bent their branches to the direction of the wind. Inside the building, the heroes were chained up to a big pillar made of irons. The sisters of darkness made sure they tortured them with several weapons they had and the heroes couldn't stop groaning with blood all over their bodies which made the sisters of darkness laugh at them the most."You all look feeble, useless bunch of losers. I'm gonna kill you all slowly and your death will serve as sacrifice and food to our souls" their leader said, coming out from her chamber. In her hand was her staff which glows every single second."Yeah we know, you've said that countless times. Are you sure you onc
Chapter-22 [ darkness prevail ]Mr Richard, his wife, Patricia, and Mrs Smith got home looking exhausted. Thompson had dealt with them, luckily they found a way to escape his wrath for the meantime because they knew he's still coming back and they need to be ready for him because he can appear anytime but before then, they need to train up themselves together with the heroes. Thompson being only one man had given them much fear in their hearts. How he gained much power, they never knew. If Thompson had built up an army just like himself, they all knew he would be unstoppable because only he still gives them much threat not to talk about creating beings like him.All got in, expecting to meet the heroes but was astonished as they found the whole building empty. Their facial expressions change as they all sense things might
Chapter-23 [ The beast ]The atmosphere was cold as the electricity had gone off. None had a clue on what was happening but for Patricia who had explained the reasons behind the blackout to the rest who were shocked by what she said. Nobody could utter a word, they stood still staring at each other with a torchlight in their hand."What did you mean dead?" They all chorused."The heroes are dead," Patricia replied with tears flowing down from her light blue eyes."And that is the reason for the blackout," Patricia said, still in tears while others stood still thinking about what Patricia just said."I'm not sure they're dead, and how did you know? " Mrs Smith asked Patricia."I can hear Eddie groan, can feel his pains," Patricia said, tears still in her eyes."You said so, we don't n
EPISODE-24 [ full moon ]Mr Richard, his wife, Mrs Smith, and Patricia could be seen inside a room. The room was dimly lit with the vintage wall sconces that hung on the mute coloured walls like earrings. Thick velvet curtains hid the long windows across the walls, just leaving a shy peak of the woods beyond. Two antique couches stood on the opposite sides of each on the hand-woven rug in front of the ashen fireplace, accompanied by rich velvet and bronze wing-chairs that stood as a sidekick. They all sat around a table. On the table were a tablet and a cup of coffee in everyone's front. Mrs Smith picked up the tablet, worked on it and showed it to others who were sipping their coffee."Where would she be, the tracker couldn't locate her," Mrs Smith said, dropping the tablet."Let's hope that's the last of her," Mrs Richard said, lowering her cup of coffee."Let's hope so, what abou
Chapter-150 (Light prevails over darkness)"Dad, I told you he's a nice man. Why did you have to make him stay the night before giving him the sword?". Isabel asked her and Eddie looked in her direction. He was bewildered to see the man who had sheltered him. He quickly got up and went to his knees."You're Adwen right?". Eddie asked the man and he nodded affirmatively."I know you will surely come here one day. My daughter told me when you arrived". Adwen said to Eddie and smiled at Isabel. Eddie looked at Isabel and Isabel smiled at him. "Don't be surprised Eddie. I only tested your trust and your identity". Isabel said to Eddie. " Please, my world will soon be in chaos, I need the ancient gladius to defeat the great witch". Eddie pleaded to Adwen." You're late Eddie, your world is already in chaos. Keeper of the underworld has been destroying your city right now". Adwen said and Eddie quickly got up and walked towards Adwen." Please Adwen, I must not fail this time. I can still
Chapter-149 (The end of the world)CRYSTAL OF EVIL"It is time". Emily said and laughed viciously. She got up from her chair and went into a dark room. She lights up the room and it reveals Susannah's shadow. "Time to tell you I am stronger than you". Emily said and started chanting some spells. She called the soul of Susannah and the soul appeared to her and Emily laughed."I told you, you are my child". Emily said and laughed. She commanded Susannah's shadow to enter her soul. The shadow entered and Emily chanted some spells and the soul vanished. Emily laughed and left the dark room. She went to the lower room and met Eddie 2 drinking a cup of blood. Eddie 2 gets up when he sees Emily coming closer to him."Eddie, it's time. I must create other clones". Emily said and both of them went to another room. Emily brought out the pictures of the heroes that she had snapped without them knowing. She dipped the pictures into a big bowl of blood and started casting some spells. The weather
Chapter-148 (Life in the past)A wormhole opened revealing Eddie. He looked everywhere and was surprised at how things were in the past. He found himself on a mountain top. He was able to see the whole kingdom. He walked down the mountain and walked to the kingdom. Everyone was looking at him because of the way he dressed. His outfit was different from theirs, everything about him was different from theirs. He walked and walked till he was tired. He sat down on a rock outside the market square to rest a bit before continuing his journey."I don't even know where I am going". He thought within him. A little girl walked close to him and offered him a cup of water."You look thirsty, you should drink". The little girl said and smiled at him. Eddie collected the water and drank it all at once and returned the cup."Thank you so much". Eddie appreciated the little girl. "You don't look like us, you are not from here". The little girl said and sat beside him. Eddie looked at the girl and s
Chapter-147 (Final defeat)" So I have to go back to where it all begins". Eddie said, looking devastated." Yes Eddie, and you must find Adwen before it is too late". Queen Alexander said to him." I have no choice but to go, I need all the help I can get to defeat Emily. I must make my parents who have sacrificed themselves for me to come this far proud". Eddie said to Queen Alexander. Queen Alexander smiled at him and looked at little hobgoblin. " I think you still have one last mission to do buddy". Queen Alexander said to little hobgoblin. Little hobgoblin smiled and looked at Eddie." I am going to miss you". Little hobgoblin said to Eddie and Eddie smiled at her." I am going to miss you too buddy. Thanks for everything". Eddie appreciated her." Take care of yourself, Eddie". Morgana said and walked close to Eddie. She pecked Eddie and he smiled." Thank you, Morgana, thank you for trusting me". Eddie said to her." Thank you, my queen". Eddie appreciated Queen Alexander and
Chapter-146 (Back in time)"The vase, can we go get it now?". Eddie asked Princess Diana."Why, it's just a vase Eddie, not a map". Princess Diana objected."We need to be sure of it". Eddie said and princess Diana led the way, looking frustrated. Eddie drove while Princess Diana sat in the passenger seat. None of them talk to each other till they go to her house. Both of them alighted from the car and Princess Diana led the way. She opened her door and went to her room, then came back with the vase. She handed it over to Eddie. Eddie looked at the vase, it was a closed vase."I told you, it's just a vase". Princess Diana said, looking angry, and passed by Eddie. She was about to open the door so she could go outside when she heard a sound. She looked back and realized Eddie had broken the vase. She was angry."Eddie, are you out of mind?". She yelled at him for destroying her precious vase given to her by her father. That's the only thing left with her that gives her the sweet memori
Chapter-145 (The vase or the map)It was night already, everyone had gone to sleep. Officer John left work late and decided to branch at a club just to get some drinks. He ordered for himself and was drinking. He started thinking about his life. It was sad for him knowing the girl he had trained from little isn't his daughter. Most of the time, he is always bitter and sad whenever he recalls the incident. Just like right now, he couldn't hold his tears as he remembered everything. The evil spirit was roaming around, finding who he could possess when he saw officer John sitting and crying while drinking. The evil spirit laughed and wasted no time in possessing officer John.Officer John felt something enter his body and started shaking vigorously till he passed out. He was rushed to the hospital. A Few minutes later, before he was attended to, he woke up and gets you from the sick bed."Sir, you should go back to bed". The nurse that wanted to attend to him spoke. Officer John looked a
Chapter-144 (The return of the evil spirit)"Eddie!". Princess Diana exclaimed, running towards Eddie. She hugged him from behind."Eddie, it's okay. I know how you're feeling but don't let your emotions take over you". Princess Diana said, trying her possible best to calm him down. Luckily, the lightning subsided and the weather turned back to normal."I am going to miss my mum and Mr. Richard". Eddie said slowly, wiping off his tears. Princess Diana disengaged from the hug and turned Eddie to face her."I will always be here for you Eddie no matter what happens". Princess Diana said and kissed Eddie instantly. Their bodies responded to their emotions and they were both glowing with lightning.The heroes have gotten back themselves and are ready to move on. They knew they had to make things for the death of the guardians to be in peace. They have sacrificed everything for them just for the final battle. Despite the little hobgoblin telling Eddie that princess Diana has the map to fin
Chapter-143 (missing them)"Where is the cup?". They were surprised by his question. Dave brought out the cup and handed it to him. They were expecting him to cry or get angry but he was smiling which made them think he had gone mad."Well done guys, we finally have the four weapons with us". Eddie said and walked back to his room. He walked back to the living room with the four weapons. He placed them on the table where the little hobgoblin was." What's next now?". Eddie asked little hobgoblin through his mind." It's left for you to find the last weapon. The mission is specifically for you." Little hobgoblin said to Eddie." Ancient Gladius is not just an ordinary sword, It's a magical sword, forged from the souls of the dead gods. The sword was created by a sorcerer called Adwen. Adwen created the Ancient Gladius during the first battle in the kingdom. The sword was used by the four god's father to stop their enemies which was successful. After the battle their father cast a spell
Chapter-142 (Courage with sorrow)ISLE OF THE BLESSED"I allow you two to follow me because I know how important Eddie is to the two of you. You must go back with the cup of life without me". Patricia said and Princess Diana, Dave, and Cath started crying immediately." You all must protect my son, and please tell him I love him so much and I will always be with him". Patricia said to them. This time, she was crying. Not because of the death but because she's going to miss her son." No, no, please don't go". Princess Diana was full of tears, begging Patricia not to go. Patricia smiled at them and prayed for them before following Nimue. Both of them entered a tornado and they both disappeared. The heroes were crying, none of them could even move an inch to carry the cup. They all sat down there, crying, and crying till the whole building started shaking. Dust was emanating from the ground and the building started collapsing. "What are we going to do now?". Cath asked, staggering as s
