The Secrets of The Soul Wanderer (In

Chapter 19

Before the other Knights returned, Nio and I hatched the plan, apparantly Nio a skilled medic told me that fighting the Sentinels was suicide, that their whips were laced with a blood clotting venom.
The plan went like this, Nio would resist escape, so I decided to possess and control Oliver. Whilst being inside my brother, I would carry my limp body to Nio's office, Nio told me was a direct drop to Earth from his office.
The plan sounded easy and foolproof but I was worried about Oliver. What if we made back home? Our parents would never accept us, they'd say we are demons. I knew they were super religious, but we could live with Marvin despite what the Holy One said to me.

The Knights returned and I immediately Soul Wandered right into Oliver, to my amazement he let me in with no resistance. I now had the hard part which was operating his movements, after confusing the hands with feet and legs with arms. I eventually got the jist of the controls. The other Knights were eyeing us and smiling, they were indirectly cheering us on to escape.
I saw Nio pick up my unconscious body, for such a small guy he was stronger than I thought, but he could only lift my body. So with Olivers body I carried my body. I saw the whites of my eyes, they were rolled back looking a bit creepy.
I left the room and followed Nio to his office, this was too easy so far but like always I fucking jinxed my luck. Outside Nios office stood a Sentinel, Nio asked for him to move. The Sentinel chuckled, it was a thick bubbly sound. I saw his whip, it was bloody or shall I say full of, my blood.

Hatred gripped me so much that I exited Olivers body and jumped into the Sentinels body. It took a lot of work, until I managed to let my malicious side take over. I had full control of the Sentinel, Nio and Oliver watched me. I grabbed the sword and with all of the Sentinels strength, stabbed the Sentinel throgh the heart.
I awoke in my own body, exhausted beyond belief. Oliver helped me stand up but my legs felt like jelly. I quietly said "I'm sorry for that, I just want to go home." We entered the office, it was a typical doctors office, with pictures of Knight and Sentinel anatomy. Oliver laid me on the bed, waves of exhaustion came and left.
Oliver held my hand and calmly said, "you're a very brave and strong person sis. Just don't do that without warning ok, I'm coming with you wherever you go. I want to live life on Earth, not up here."

I smiled and breathed a simple, "thank you, I love you. brother."
Sleep is what I wanted, I dreamed about my childhood with Oliver, smiling at the embarrassing and happy memories with our parents.
I don't know what happened after I slept aside from a loud wind sound, but all I knew was that I was back on Earth. No longer a lonely child and with a short all white Knight.
How I longed to be on Earth again, it was dawn and foggy I felt the wet dew soaked grass under my hands. All three of us were windswept with our hair and wing feathers in weird blown styles. I was happy to be back but Oliver looked either upset or very happy, but he was starting to become transluscent.

Nio came up to me and making myself lower, and quietly said "because Oliver is dead he is becoming a ghost, on Earth he must obey the laws of nature. Back on Knight City the laws of nature don't exist. Simply put I'm sorry but your brother may go back, unless we can find him a freshly deceased body."
Never had I wished to die more than now, just to be with Oliver. I wanted to cry, scream or be angry but no, inside I just felt empty.
Oliver walked towards me, he knew and I could see the tears in his eyes. Our time together on Earth was cut short, all because of The Maker and his retarded laws and rules.
Without thinking I just walked, Nio tried to follow me but I gave him a nasty glance and continued walking. I could tell I was in a national park, because of it's vast size. The fog was getting thicker and I felt the familiar feel of tarmac under my feet, suddenly I heard a loud horn beep of a car and within seconds I had been hit by the vehicle. I floated out of my body and was shocked to two familiar faces, I saw my parents.

I tried to return to my body but I could tell the Holy One wanted to give me his bullshit pep talk. Instead of being cast off to the sky I was pulled by a strong force, I saw a big cat figure among the fog.
It proweled towards me with an eerie presence, staring at me, it let out a loud roar. The fog around us cleared and I was looking at a beige statue of a lion, it's mane seemed to have flickering flames and it's stone body made heavy shudders on the ground with its movements.
I knew the Holy One was the lion but this was the most unexpected encounter, he laid down like the Sphinx. The silence was unbearable, I told the Holy One about the escape from Knight City and how my brother needed a body to live. The Holy One nodded with the flames calming down to sputtering embers on his stony mane.
The majestic lion stood up and asked, "do you want me to save you or your brother? If I save you, then you will be stuck in Knight City. If I save your brother, you will forever be a ghost stuck in between Earth and Knight City in limbo." I wanted to be alive with my brother, but before I could reply an answer.
I saw the Holy One run off towards the incident, I chased after him like an ethereal missile.

Whatever the Holy One was doing, I knew he was going to my parents. I stopped and saw my parents wailing over my barely alive body, the irony of how myself and Oliver were killed by cars was uncanny. I saw the Holy One approach them, naturally they were terrified. I heard running behind me and saw Nio come running towards my body. Nio placed his hands on my heart and muttered a spell, it dragged my soul back into my body.

I awoke and coughed up blood, I felt my pulse and cried with joy that I was alive. Nio hugged me and looked at the Holy One, "thank you Holy One for passing me your strength." I saw Olivers ghost run towards us, all eyes looked towards the Holy One to save Oliver before he was gone forever.
