Short Reprieve

The night turned to day.

All who witnessed the wonder before them, fell to their knees. Some out of fear, and many more out of reverence.

"What are you doing? Get up.. What is that?"

"It's a miracle!"

"The savior is here!"

"God hasn't forsaken us!"

"We have hope!"

Meanwhile in four vary far off places, four men looked towards the same spot. Each one saying, "So the heavenly father has sent a savior to this world."

Back in the vault under the castle.

Christopher hears a familiar voice that only he can hear. "Christopher, I have given you a gift to help you through this tough time.".. "It is a skill called Calm Mind. If you activate it. It will calm your mind, only letting through a fraction of your emotions.".. "This skill will allow you to work through your emotions. Without getting buried in then.".. "I wish you well my son."

Hearing this he activates his new skill. A calmness washes over him.

Christopher sighs out before saying aloud, "Wow, that could have gone better.".. "I know I was going to experience things like that. But I didn't think it would affect me so deeply."

Turning around to check on Marhaus. Christopher sees him flat on his butt, staring right back at him. His mouth wide open.

Christopher laughed a little, before saying. "Are you gonna just sit there all day, staring at me. Or are you going to say something."

Marhaus, "Are.. are you the chosen one? The one God chose, to save us from this apocalypse?"

Christopher knowing his character better now, decides to come clean. "You've stood by me so far. So maybe you will continue too... Yes God has sent me to save your world."

Marhaus still in awe, noticed three words he didn't expect. "sent" and "your world".

Marhaus, "Wait. You mean to say, you are not from this world? Then, what happened to the other Christopher? The Prince?"

Christopher, "I do not know.. God did not tell me that.".. "Oh.. and before I forget. The assassin you defeated earlier, was level 30.".. "I heard you earlier, after all. But I couldn't respond. You know being in shock and all."

Marhaus, "You need to stop surprising me, or my heart is going to explode.".. "Man I can't believe it, I am helping the chosen one.... Wait the chosen one is level 1? How is that supposed to help?"

Christopher, "Hey. It's not my fault, I'm only level one. I just got here. Give me a little time, I may suprise you."

Marhaus, "No, please don't. I don't think my heart could take it.".. "and I don't think you are level one because you just got here. I think it is because you are in the Prince's body."

Christopher looks at him confused.

Marhaus, "You see, as a Prince. You would normaly be protected until you turn twelve. Then you would begin your royal training.. Prince Christopher, just turned twelve. So he didn't have a chance to start his royal training just yet."

Christopher, "Oh. So if I was sent into to your body. I would have started out at level 33."

A chill ran down Marhaus's spine afther hearing that. "Please, don't say that again."

Christopher, "Allright, allright we should probably get some rest. I saw your Stamina before my eye skill stopped working."

Marhaus taken aback, "You could even see that, with those eyes.".. "That's a scary skill you got there."

Laying down on the floor, Christopher said. "Yeah, yeah. Now rest."

In a half mocking tone Marhaus says, "Yes, Mr. Chosen one."

Christopher chuckles a little at the comical behavior of Marhaus, before both of them drift off into sleep.

In The Realm Of Rest

Christopher laying down appears in The Realm Of Rest. Taking it all in. He hears God's voice, "I will give you some time to yourself. But before I go, I need you to know. At your current level you can only stay for up to one hour a day. The rest of your sleep will have to be in the physical world."

Christopher still tired, replies. "Got it. Can you please wake me up in 45 minutes? I have some stuff I need to do before I go back there."

God, "Of course. Now get some rest."

Christopher then takes his nap in the Realm of rest.

45 minutes goes by.

God, like a kind parent waking their child up for school. "Christopher it's time to wake up."

Christopher stretches, and yawns waking himself up.

Christopher, "Thanks."

God, "You are welcome."

Remembering the message from earlier Christopher opened his Item Box. What he found surprised him.

Christopher, "There's a skill book in here."

Taking the skill book out, he reads the cover. "FP Charge."

He then heard a message in his head. 'Skill acquired, FP Charge.'

After hearing this, he opens his. "Holy Manuscript"
