Reanimated: The Round Table Chronicles 1

The Rhyme To Find

7 weeks later

"Anything?" asked Miracle

"Not yet - He's trying I can feel it" replied Sawyer

"7 weeks! 7 god damn weeks!" exclaimed Sawyer

"Hey calm down alright" said Penelope

"Come on we can come back in a little while" said Regina wrapping her arms around Penelope

Truth was that everyone was afraid Marshall might might not wake up. But what they couldn't see was what Marshall was doing. Deep inside Marshall's sleeping body an entity was lurking in his mind giving him instructions.

"Marshall you are the chosen one - I chose you as the next rightful king, it is your destiny to unite man and vamps" said the entity

"But why?" He said "I see no unrest between them"

"Perhaps not now, but only a few know your reanimated" replied the entity

"What must I do?" asked Marshall

The entity shimmered like it was breathing then answered:

"Of all the things on a dragon's skin that's sharp or jagged, none is as sharp as a dragon's..."

"A dragon's what?" asked Marshall

"That is for you to discover" It replied "Now I've kept you long enough, time for you to awaken"

Suddenly Marshall felt himself being bathed in white light.

Sawyer nonchalantly cast out his telekinetic power searching each persons mind until...

"Sawyer!"

"Guy's he's awake" said Sawyer jumping up

"I'm in the Fantasy Section of the library" said Marshall

Minutes later the crew burst into the library and rushed for the fantasy section. Sitting there smiling vampire fangs and all was -

"MARSHALL!"

They embraced him until the librarian Madame Trumane told them to hush.

"Why are you here?" asked Penelope

"Yeah you only just woke up" said Sawyer

"Because I didn't feel like laying around well there is work to be done" He answered

"What do you mean?" asked Miracle

"When I was asleep I was visited by an entity and it said Of all things on a dragon's skin that's sharp or jagged none is as sharp as a dragon's..."

"What?" asked Regina

"That's what I need to figure out"

"Tongue" said Sawyer

Everyone looked at him.

"What?" he replied "A dragon had a sharp tongue because people could understand them"

"Oh nice - Where do we find a dragon?" asked Carmel

In Marshall mind he saw flashes of street signs, alleys and neon lit buildings.

"Map!" he exclaimed

"Your P.E.N has a GPS in it" said Sawyer

Marshall grabbed his P.E.N and logged in.

"P.E.N can you map a route from VU to East Point Boundary" said Marshall

"Routing...Calculating...Complete" said P.E.N

Marshall shot up and ran from the library.

"Where are you going!" yelled Kale

"Shh" said Madame Trumane

P.E.N save that location and tell me how to get to Dean Master Dominic's office" said Marshall

"Saved...Turn right" said P.E.N

"Right got it"

No sooner did Marshall say it he slammed into:

"Dean Master Dominic!" said Marshall

"You've reached your destination" said P.E.N

"Mr. Scarborough" said Dean Master Dominic

"Can I leave campus please?" asked Marshall getting up

"I don't see why not, where are you going?" asked Dean Master Dominic

"The East Point Boundary"

"That's Dragonite territory" said Dean Master Dominic

"I'm aware" said Marshall

"You'll need this to get in" said Dominic handing a card to him

"Thank you" he said taking it

Marshall turned and ran down the hall towards his car.

"P.E.N send the saved location to my car and start the engine"

"Yes Marshall" said P.E.N

"Alexis call the other Professors...it's happening" said Dominic
