The Hunt [BOOK 2: WAR OF MORTALS] [Completed]

Their Real Plan

"What do you mean she broke out?" I question Voltron as I twirl my blade. It's a very long, thick, straight blade made of diamond is held by a grip wrapped in gilded, dark brown shark skin. One sharp edge makes this weapon ideal for both blocking and slicing, your enemies won't stand a chance. The blade has a broad, straight cross-guard, adding weight to the blade for a better weight balance, as well as offering hand protection during battle. The cross-guard has a gilded flame on each side, a clear sign this weapon belongs to a champion. A massive pommel is decorated with precious gems, fancy decorations for a fancy sword. The blade itself is engraved. FOTD has been engraved on the blade. This weapon is no ordinary weapon, that much is clear. This weapon is used only as a decorational piece. An exceptional weapon carried by exceptional people, for better and worse. Next to the hotel window is Sentinel. He's using one of his many scopes to spy on James and whoever the second guy is across the street. I sit on the bed and cross my legs. I place the blade down on my lap.

"I mean she literally broke out of the asylum, Jynx. Also word's been going around that she's after you. Apparently you have one of the 5 books she's looking for." I pull a small book out of the bag next to me a turn it over in my hands a few times before answering Volt.

"I know what she's looking for, but she's not getting it back until I'm dead on the floor."

"So, you really have the book she's looking for?" A small smirk plays on my lips as I twirl my long purple hair.

"That I do. She's looking for the Mitchian's Book Of Time. It's a powerful spell book that gives the holder power to reverse, fast forward, or even stop time itself. It's very dangerous thing."

"Then why do you have it if it's so dangerous? Also, why don't you use that to reverse what happened with James?"

"I told you it's dangerous. Way too dangerous. Using this book could cause a paradigm shift in our reality. The space time continuum will be destroyed. That's why I took it. Before Leslie went into the asylum, before her psychosis was as out of control as it is, she explained to me that if all 5 of these books ever come in contact with each other again that it would mean the end of our realm as we know it." Slowly I feel a headache coming on. I can't tell if it's from the stress or just because I haven't eaten all day.

"Wait. So, she was trying to protect our world by giving you the book, but now she's calling you a thief because you have it?"

"She's calling me a thief because she doesn't remember giving me the book. Her mind has turned our world into a fairy tale. Because of that she only remembers bits and pieces of her past. It's bits and pieces she wants to remember. Or more or less her mind wants to remember. She doesn't remember handing it to me, but she remembers me leaving with it while she was dragged away into the asylum."

"Earlier you said realm. Are you trying to imply that there are other realms beside our own?" His voice holds a tone of confusion, but also concern.

"That's exactly what I'm saying. There are 6 realms in this world. Siceron, Ebomund, Nateosia, Timisai, Colosa, Unoskaro. Our realm, if you couldn't guess, is Unoskaro. Leslie is from Ebomund. Look, Killian, I'm aware at how difficult this is to believe. Trust me, I didn't believe it myself at first either."

"Yeah. It is, but I have faith in you and I know you'd never lie to me. So, there's 6 realities and Leslie was from one of them, but if she's from another realm, did they have something like psychosis there?"

"No. Her realm is a world of nothing, but bad. Death at every turn."

"So when she came here and found the fairy tales."

"Her mind warped them in into her reality. See? You're getting it!"

"Something tells me we should try and keep her off your tail then, right?"
