INFERNO: The Fiery Inception

CHAPTER 11

Nearly half an hour later I, August and Alex are walking through the hallway looking through every door. August and Alex walking slowly as I struggled walking with crutches, they wanted me to just rest but I couldn't, with so many unexplored rooms waiting. We went to the gym again and now they didn't seem that bad, actually not bad at all. They were so nice to me everyone introduced themselves to me but sadly I forgot most of the name within seconds. Too many names to remember but I was certain that i will learn it in the future. Once we got out of the gym Alex and August started walking towards another while slowed down a little. I am not going to lie this was a hard, I am yet to get used to all this and my head hurts with all the revelation, it was as if the life I lived in was ripped away like a bandage. Like my whole life was a lie. I wanted to cry but I held it in, because deep inside I knew that this life was more complicated than what they had said till now. I don't know anything about this world and I was desperate to grasp onto anything that would help. And Lucas's worlds echoed in my head, I had to find the sword soon. Would Eric be not attacked if I had found the sword already? August had pulled me out of the circle and far from them when Lucas said that, like he didn't want me to hear it. That made me doubt more if it was truly my fault.

I took a deep breath and continued walking giving a small smile to Alex who had turned around to make sure that I was still following. We went to the infirmary, which had colorful medicines and other weird things I didn't recognize, maybe those things were from different dimension, therefore there was no chance I had seen it. The poisons that were kept here looked so lethal, not because it looks bad but its beauty would have never made you guess that they were indeed poisonous. Well i guess the same goes for some people too. Once we looked around the infirmary we went armoury. There were many other doors we didn't go through but August insisted on taking me to one specific door on which 'E-15' was written.

"E-15?" I asked.

"That means earth, 15th dimension" Alex said.

"Wait, that means there are people from other planets too?"

"Yeah, well except our dimension of time mars have people living in it and surprisingly their not very different from us some of them from the gym were from Mars" August said and walked through the door when I step inside I see another hallway, it did make sense though they did look a little non- earthling?

"Is this a joke?" I ask.

"Nope, I know it sounds like it, but there were people in mars in our dimension too but it was too long ago. You know mars may still be able to support life, we dont know now do we. And this is where we sleep when we're in the gathering, yours must be on the far end" Alex said pointing her hands towards the door. Far end?

"So how many dimensions of time are there in total?" I asked.

"There are 16 time dimensions now, before it was more than 20 but as time passes war and other things cause dimensions to perish" Alex said.

"So can our dimension perish?" I asked.

"Yes, that is why Lucas wants you finding that sword as soon as possible. You saw Eric right? He was attacked; warriors of our dimension have been attacked for the 5th time now" August said.

"You think I can stop them, whoever is hurting our warrior's?" I ask.

"I know you can" he said giving me a smile. I was grateful for his trust in me.

"About the throne, how is it so important?" I asked.

"Thrones are always important Charlie, especially this one. It's a really powerful position to be, you know being the ruler of warriors. That throne gives us the power to control every dimension of time. And the sword is the key to the throne. If the sword gets on the wrong hands, they can even erase dimensions from existence" August said. I felt my chest tighten; he was telling me that the fate of dimensions is in my hand. It is scary; I couldn't even handle the responsibility of taking care of Aunt Marie. How am I going to take the responsibility of dimensions? Of worlds? Panic started to rise in me.
