The Specials

Çhæptêr #: [Retracted]

A long, dark hallway sat silent, with all but the sounds of tap-tap-tapping from the short door at the very end of the hallway.

Foot steps could be heard walking down the hallway at a steady pace. A man walked steadily towards the door, which was guarded by two men with spears of black iron.

They moved only their arms and spears into the way of the door, blocking him. He stopped calmly, he lifted up a paper with a wax stamp on it. The stamp had a strange symbol and the guards looked at one another.

They moved their spears aside, letting him through as the door opened automatically as soon as he reached for the handle.

He cleared his throat and walked in the room. It was big and empty... The only light came from a large screen that glitched everytime the sound of the keyboard came.

He slowly approached the desk, then a distorted and deep voice came from the large swivel chair at the desk, "Stay boy. Why did you come?"

He gathered himself and spoke, "I have a letter Miss-"
"From whom?"
He lifted the paper up, "No name, only a symbol."
"And?... That it?"
"Uh-" he checked it again out of nervousness, "The symbol of feather wings. Along with a quill of a bird."

The unseen figure's typing stopped, it moved a hand and grabbed the mouse nearby on the big desk, "What does it say?"
He looked down at the letter and spoke clearly, "It is time. First reveal complete. Start the second."

He looked at the back of the chair, "May I ask what that means...?"

........

The chair leaned forward towards the desk more, as if it was sitting up straighter in the cushioned chair, "It means...."
It clicked off the page of writing it was doing and spoke...

"The job has already been done.... They've already seen the second reveal."
