(Unedited) Ancient tales beyond the world(Book 1)

chapter thirty nine

Either one hasn't slept last night but since it's done they should start heading to work. Exhaustively getting up both changed into new cleaning uniforms before heading off.

Heading to the apartment they arrived to see half the building destroyed. Parts of the roof was caved in in the front of the building was mostly demolished leaving 1/2 of it up.

Trying to open the front door didn't work. It being blocked on the other side left the cowboys to question who would do something like this? As they chatted amongst themselves a person came up to them.

"Hello there partner. Everything alright?"one question.

"No, my father's been kidnapped and some criminals took him." Showing a photo of the bandit. "This man took my father!" The man seemed horribly hurt.

Everyone wanted to do this mission except the young man walked over to Mammon. "sir, can you please find him?" Sounding sorrowful he accepted and was handed a sum of money.

The man said "Use this money for the train sir. That's all the money I can give you for the ride to and from here." Nodding his head.

As the man walked away Mammon ran after him. "Wait!" The man turned around. "What town are they from, you know?" Perking up you forgot to mention that part; he goes into his pocket and pulls out a paper map.

"Here, this hopefully helps you with your journey." Handing me the map. Putting it in my pocket I thanked him before heading off. Everyone went back to chatting with some accusing another who was on watch last night.

Heading to the station I stopped to check my math to see which station I'm taking. Seeing the numbers 1246, I check which station has it so I go to the older seeming one. Walking up to the ticket seller I asked.

"Why hello sir. Do you have the train 1246 by chance?" Mammon asked.

The ticket teller tipped his hat up. Sitting forward interlocking his fingers he spoke. "Yes, we have trained 1246. Are you looking to buy a ticket?" The ticket seller gave an agitated expression while his eyes checked me up and down.

"Yes please. How much does it cost?"

"$3.41."

"$3.41!" Mammon surprised. Looking at his coins asks, "will you take $1.50?" The tickets are still plastering that agitated look. Rolling his eyes he growls. "fine! Here you go." Giving Mammon his ticket he walked off to find station 1246 in wait.

Finding 1246 I took a seat on one bench waiting for the train. While I sat patiently waiting I saw everyone wearing what seemed like cultural clothing. I disregarded this and went back to looking through the book, I took notice of the writing wasn't demon or any human language.

Confused by all this, suddenly a man was running by in a panic. Passing Mammon, something had abruptedly fell out of his pocket. Picking it up Mammon in search of the running man he seem to be gone. I need the about all this you let it go and continued.

Seeing the train not coming anytime soon I decided to sleep for a bit. As I position myself against the wooden ball I tilt in my hat over my eyes then drifted off.

Waking up after a long nap I'm hearing around me and answer to my surroundings but doing so; nothing had appeared normal. As I get up to wander around I couldn't help but notice a figure.

Could it be? No.... No it can't. "Why hello Mammon."

Sitting ahead Shivers sat back with one leg on his knee, hands class together. He stood taller than making this interaction more uncomfortable even while sitting down.

Standing up he started walking to me. Stepping back Shivers continuously stepped forward with each step taken. Unsure how to approach the situation I spend quickly around bolting for the train car door attempting to pull its handle. Pulling it very hard it appeared to be jammed. Scrambling around I found a crowbar lying on the floor.

Pulling the door open with this which doubles as a weapon works. Peering behind me I latch the crow bar inside the handle before pulling towards myself and just in time as shivers was about to reach for me. When I leave into the next card over unlocking its door.

Upon opening I held my back against the door struggling to keep up with my own heavy breaths mixed together in blood rushing to my head. I couldn't help such.. emotion and not a little but quite the opposite actually. The adrenaline rush felt so fucking awesome I ran and ran and ran and ran over into the next cart.

Guessing all this to be an illusion after some time. Mammon carefree sat in one of the other booths when he felt the train stop. Looking out his window is a small train station outside the ghosts point station. Seen passengers fill up the cart Mammon ran back to his car and her kissing once more wanting to relax the rest of the way there.

Is this all a dream or is this reality? Mammon question himself.
