TERRA: Age Of Terror

~10~

.Turner.

~Acies~

"Turner?" I hear Sylas' voice on the phone. "Yo! Dude it's been forever!"

"Well, with me being the best technology advancer ever, and you fraternizing with the lovely princess, we just don't have time." I smile as I hear his laugh.

"I needed that man. Things have been a bit hectic. So are you cool?"

"Not really. I need a favour." I say

"Sure man; if I can manage it. So what is it?"

"I need to meet the princess. I've found something that I believe is of upmost importance to her bloodline."

"I don't know T... I'm not sure if she'll want to. She's been really stressed lately..." Sylas trails off.

"Please, just try. Tell her it's about someone called Mycah. This is really important." I say, hoping to convince him.

"Alright, I will. I can't promise anything though."

"Thanks man." I put the phone down and turn to look at Simon and Pixel.

"Who's Sylas?" Pixel asks

"He was in my elementary school. We became close because we found out we were both eternal. He saw my star and whispered 'you have a verbum talent too?' We were inseparable after that. It was like we had this amazing secret no one knew about." I say, smiling at the fond memory.

"And he'll be able to help us?" She asks tilting her head.

"He's quite close to the princess. We just have to hope Mycah is someone they care about."

"He is." Simon says turning away from the window.

"What makes you so sure?" Pixel asks, frowning at him.

Simon stares at Pixel for a while and then he turns to me. "None of you realize it?"

.Simon.

I could understand why Pixel didn't understand. However, Turner surprised me- It was blatantly obvious.

"It's written in Roma, so it's obviously from the Royal tempora servitutis."

Pixel and Turner look at each other and then back at me. "Can you speak in human please?" Pixel asks

Letting out a breath, I hold up the book.

"Can you estimate the period in which this book was written?" I ask.
"Probably during the imperialism age?" Pixel says turning on the lumpy bed to face me.

"That's correct, surprisingly."

"Wha—" Pixie says sounding a bit offended.

"It's written in ancient Roma, but it needs the key of Fratrum royalty. It was definitely written during the colonisation of Fratrum by Roma." I look at the both of them but they seem rather lost.

"How many royal Fratrum Mycahs do we know lived during that period" I ask exasperated. "Just one- The guy that shared the crystals among the six kingdoms!"

I watch both their faces as they begin to comprehend what I'm saying.

"Mycah could see visions and claimed to be blessed by the verbum." I continue. "Sound like any group of people you know?"

"Wait, so you're saying.... Mycah was an Eternal?" Pixel looks up at me from under her medicated frames. "Whatever's in this book just became much more important."
