.ch 3

(in a room )

jacob - what the hell do you wanna do now

arnab - we can't do anything now , except group up and prepare for a war now .

by the why didn't the explosion happen till now we were in the dream state for quite the bit and in your dream it almost took a couple of months for complete transfer . even with a rune it must have taken some time

me - it took a few seconds due to the volume of memories i am giving you . if it was only my memories then it wouldn't have taken do long. just that few seconds had almost overloaded the rune and the explosion of rune when we were in a mind space would be disastrous .

jack - why not just do it in the beginning jayanth ,we could have helped you know.

me - but I just learnt the spell a week ago so naturally i decided to use it after this event to escape tyrants surveillance , if he had any . he is a magical being so he can sense magic you know

jacob - but what now , nobody talking of that .

me - we gather the parade and duke it out . we go to the base and prepare for a war. use the firecracker after the tyrants explosion we don't want to get caught unnecessarily .

jacob - sure

( saying jacob went to one of the sides of the room and removed a few pellets and stood by the window .)

(after that everybody stopped talking and the room fell in a uneasy silence as my friends processed everything that happens today ..)

(the parade or the night parade was actually a group of eight people including us four .i had created it right in the revolt from the few people that had actually sought to help me during the revolt.)

(BOOM , a loud explosion could be heard as my friends all spurred into action . jacob brought out a lighter from nowhere and began lighting the pellets and throwing them in air , where they began exploding like a rocket would .)

(jack strapped the weapons on his back , being the burliest amongst us )

( i grabbed one hand of arnab and jacob caught one and we left .)

( the firecrackers was the sign of our retreat to the base , a place created by us painstakingly for any future emergency .just like many of my plans , i never thought we would use it )

( the place where were kept had many storehouses having stuff from food to gunpowder . during the revolt , when everybody were destroying stuff the warehouses was the first place i had everybody target was the storehouses . naturally they broke everything in the storehqouses and left behind most of the stuff they stored . by then I had an ideas of forming the parade , seeing the way that the people around me were idolising me . from the beginning i knew that the revolt would fail and I was the face of that revolt. so naturally after its failure i knew that the people who praising me today would avoid or criticise me tomorrow . so I formed the parade . the base was our cornerstone which we created from provisions we pilfered from ruined storehouses storing it another storehouse which was locked by us . after the event our captors shut down all the ruined warehouses emptying them of their stuff and left our warehouse considering it to be already locked , to be honest it was a gamble but it was one we won .)

(soon we reached the base where there already was a guy waiting for us . it was spencer )

Spencer - you guys are already here , thought you would have taken a couple of years more . what kind of shit did you pull, it's complete pandomium . glitchy will have a lot of problem but the spectre twins will have no problem should be coming soon .

me - good , you will be coming with me . i need to check something on the above floor and we can help glitchy on the way . by the way stock up., we will be needing it .

(pointing towards the weapon pile on jacks back . Spencer face changed for a moment before gathering his wits . )

Spencer - what the hell did you do , how in hell did you get them . please don't tell me you actually dared to enter the tyrants room , if he finds out we are doomed .

me - you will find out soon enough , let's go now .

(Spencer went and took two knives from weapons pile . i didn't take a weapon as I didn't need any of it as of now )

(soon we left . i wanted to check if tyrant had died or not and also help glitchy .)

(the building had a pretty simple structure . each floor was shaped as a U with two of the ends leading to stairs .we were quite close to one of the ends so we reached the stairs fairly quickly . )

(we climbed up the staircase after a while and found the area in complete silence .the students in the floor had locked themselves in their in fear that if tyrant found them out they would be targeted . while nobody knew where or how the explosion happened ,

they knew that the captors would look for somebody to blame and the people on this floor were the first choice . the people in this floor were the privileged troublemaker under tyrants own care . of course , i was the one that he had the most interest in . the only reason that I got to stay in the lower floor was that I had not caused a mess in a long time.

so we passed that region easily )

me -spencer you go look for glitchy , i have some work to do .

Spencer - are you going to check out what had happened in tyrants room .

me - yes , i have to check one last thing .

Spencer - die man , you rarely cause trouble but once you do it blows everybody's mind

the last you caused a mess was the revolt

me - now don't make glitchy suffer ,go and help him

(Spencer left without a word and I left to tyrants place . when I reached there , the door was burning and had turned black . it had been flung against a wall as if someone had thrown it there . just a little bit way from the burnt door were drops of blood , pitch black blood and right next to the bloox were claw marks on the floor as if a creature with some sharp claws was trying to get up . seeing this i continued with a bit of dread in my heart , because I am telling you the scene was right out of a horror movie .

I reached the doors unsure of what I was expecting , but what was in the room surprised me quite the bit .

the tyrant was in a pretty shitty situation . a arm of his was ripped out and was lying near the door .his limbs were toen to pieces and the second and third were burnt black . it was a gruesome sight )

gnome - little brat , good timing . I was just deciding whether or not to kill your tyrant

me - wait a second , I am pretty sure I just commanded you to take a leg or something . why the hell is this guy like this ( pointing at tyrant ) . weren't you telling me that a hundred of you were just enough to take care of a single of him .

gnome - if he was an infernal being it would be true he is not an infernal being . he is a shape shifter and a pretty good one at that . you're lucky that you had me otherwise you would have been in a pretty bad situation . the zarbelgawns (it in the gnomes language ) are very weak to fire . now release me will you .

me - I gave you the authority to leave yourselves , no .

gnome - that's the problem with the law you know . i have to do exactly as you told and you told me to take a limb or two of his and I kind of went overboard with him so technically I didn't follow your orders . I would have killed but he has something for you so I debating whether or not live him alive .

(suddenly remembering, I looked all around me . the place was a mess , everything had been blown to pieces or burnt black . )

tyrant - so you finally remembered about me did you .

me - I was busy with the gnome.

tyrants -dont bother with the useless chatter and concentrate on what I have to say . you won't understand anything i am saying now but you have been chosen by a very powerful legacy .

(he paused for a moment )

tyrant - i will use my remaining life force as a catalyst and make you accept the legacy , in turn you shall help my clan nine times .

( i stood there completely blank , not even for a second i didn't understand what he was asking of me or even what he was telling me . i didn't even have time to process what was happening when tyrants body started glowing and then everything became black ).

( when my consciousness returned , i wasn't in tyrants room but somewhere else . o wasn't even sure where I was. my first reaction was that of fury , i felt that I had been tricked but realised that it was unlikely . i realised that I was in a black space . as far as I could see there was nothing to be seen . so I sat , i didnt know what was happening but I knew that panicking or attempting to escape desperately was useless . so I forced myself to calm down and sat down . i began to sift through my memories attempting to find at least one memory of what had happened and what I could do . but there's was nothing i could now . no matter what I did nothing happen .)

(after a long time or at least what felt like a long time the darkness faded and I returned to the room . i told it to you simply but it was terrifying okay , there were many times i felt like I could never escape the dark space and I felt like commuting suicide many times but no matter what I did i could not escape . the starting was fine , i had hope that I could escape. but near the middle i could do nothing as my confidence wavered .i was semi confident that I will be stuck here for life . near the end I began to practice and perfect martial arts just so that I had something other than thinking of how i would ne stuck here for eternity

gnome - so how was it , young master .

me - what the fucking hell has been going on here . what was that .

gnome - young master , you ask some pretty hard questions . for now be satisfied because it is good for you .

me - what happend , and where is tyrant.

gnome - he sacrificed the entirety of his life force to make sure you inherit the legacy

me - what the hell is a legacy , even tyrant didn't want to tell me and what the hell was the dark space .

gnome - you won't understand it now , leave it .

me - tell me now or i will make sure you never leave this realm.

gnome - it looks like am staying with you then .

( i lost my words for a few seconds )

me - wait a second , you are not willing to say anything even if it means not returning to your realm .

gnome - listen young master , if I could i would have told you everything . but I can't so don't make me . i would rather stay here then face the consequences of telling you .

me ( unsure of what to say )- something let's leave , i have to meet my friends down . you are staying with me until you tell me what happend and what the hell is a legacy

(so we made our way through the passage with the gnome in tow as we found our remaining captors attempting to control the students who had kind of gone violent . the example was one of our captors had been brutally beaten up . the others would have a

similar fate pretty soon . they were so engrossed in fighting each other that nobody noticed us . and we soon reached the base . )

jack - (with a desparate kind of urgency ) jayanth you have to see this .
