Ana and Levi stood nervously, looking at the hourglass kept on the table. Past few hours had passed in understanding the operation of the hourglass.
"I hope this works." Levi muttered.
"We don't have any other option." Ana stated.
Levi sighed and nodded to her. He took the hourglass and closed his eyes.
"Are they going back in the year 1475?" Adi asked.
"I hope their plan works." Leo said, nodding to Adi.
"Let's see what happens." Alex said, waiting for the couple to do something.
They looked at the couple, concerned about their plan. Something felt wrong about it. But nevertheless, as Levi said, it was b
Basement was chilly or the memory made them feel cold, was yet to be known. Leo looked at his hand and saw goosebumps raised. The scene was still in front of his eyes. He stepped ahead and turned to look behind as someone caught his arm. It was Adi. He looked at her petrified face. It was pale as if blood drained from her body. "Adi?" Leo called her name, shaking her shoulders. Adi snapped back to present and lost her balance falling in Leo's arm and burst out. Vivian came forward, trying to console her.Leo lifted her and took her to their room and rubbed her back as she cried in his arms. The memory was traumatic. It took hours for them to get back to their senses and think sanely. In another memory, the portal took them to a different memory as soon as the house of Ada and Lenn was set on fire. They couldn't witness what Ada went through, but still were disturbed. Two hours had passed and the impac
"So-called Dark Lord is the one who wants to unleash the supreme powers and according to him you are the pure soul who are the key to the lock. And you are the one who can defeat him." Alex began the discussion by explaining the meaning of prophecy according to him. After having lunch, they felt exhausted therefore decided to get some rest, only to be woken up by Miss Emily for the evening tea. The afternoon nap was essential as their mind diverted from the traumatic memory. They started the discussion where they had stopped last. "But he is so powerful, how are we going to defeat him? He has already killed both the couple gruesomely." Vivi said concerningly. "Technology, Vivi dear. It has made wonders in the weapon sector. We can use those against him. His entir
Two days passed and there wasn't any sign of magic in the air. They all memorized a few easy spells and took some different places in the study room, away from each other, to concentrate fully, with some tiny objects. Leo looked at the small pea kept on the table, annoyingly. Failing for the 1000th time, he decided in his mind that this was his last try. He closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the pea and whispered the transformation spell, "Mutatio." Grain shook vigorously and transformed into a small green leaf. He felt satisfied finally for wasting two precious days on practicing sorcery. In order to confirm, he turned back the leaf to pea and changed it again to leaf. He looked at his work proudly and called for others. "How did you do it?" Adi asked, looking at the feather
Warm breeze hit their face as they stepped outside. There weren't many houses around. The place was somewhat deserted. People around them were countable. They realized no one was suspicious about them as they strolled on the streets. "Looks like pills are working." Alex commented. "Of course they would." Leo said proudly. "Yeah yeah" Alex rolled his eyes. They came across a small village and stopped there. A long, stout stick on which a wooden board hung was buried at the entrance of the village. The board displayed the village name, Inkdon. They decided to take a look at the village. It was strange that in spite of having many houses, there weren't many people on the streets. And those who were out, were not
In a medium sized room, there sat a man in his 40s, on a wooden chair, behind the table. His balding head hidden under a pork pie hat. He appeared a little healthy, afterall he was a magistrate and had few villages under him. His thick moustache covered his upper lip. Black eyes were hidden behind the closed lids. Hands placed on either side of the temples in a deep thought. The room was ominously quiet. Silence broke by a knock to his room. His brows drew together, looking annoyed by the disturbance. He opened his eyes to see four figures entering the room. "Good morning sir." Leo greeted, bowing to him. "Hmm. How may I help you?" came a monotonous reply from the magistrate as he had been saying the same lines for all these years of his service. "Sir, we have came h
In the series of houses, there stood a vacant house. It was made of stones arranged in a pretty thoughtful manner so that the pieces fit together, just like tetris. It had thatched roofing and clay tiled. On the front door, there marked a number with a white chalk, '13'. “Is this the house?” Alex enquired. “Should be. Number thirteen, same as the key number.” Leo said, looking at the key in his hand. “It's old and shabby.” Alex remarked, taking a gander at the house. “We are in the medieval period Alex. What do you expect, a skyscraper?” Leo said, walking towards the main door and others followed him inspecting the stone house. “Leo, let me open the lock.” Adi said with a timid grin, extending her hand towards him,
"Hmmm...Now, are we going to invade the house? Let's go then." Alex said, rubbing his palms together and smirking evilly. "Bad idea. There are people around us, Alex." Vivi said, checking out the people who were buried in the work while some lurked. They currently stood in front of the witch's house. The key which they used last time to enter the house was taken away by the man whom the magistrate had sent to take them to their new house. "We can use the window. Three of us can distract the people around us while one of us quickly enters the house." Adi proposed. "Ohh this is better. This way people won't notice...umm.." "Me," Leo said completing Vivi sentence, "I'll enter the
“Did he go?” Alex whispered. “I think so. There’s no sound around except for the screeching of some creatures.” “What are we waiting for here then? Let us move out from here before they decide to feed on us.” Alex cried. They started walking briskly out of the forest leaving the sticks that were stacked up behind. After a few minutes of walking and running, they caught the sight of their stalker lurking in front of the woman's house where Adi and Vivi had entered. “What a creep guy!” Alex commented, looking at the man disguised himself in black who was now peeking through the window. “He is just doing his job Alex.” Leo stated dryly. "Whatever"
