monster and magic (end, for now)

ลำดับตอนที่ #21 : Chapter 21 The plot greatly advance

   

   Thank for taking that part of the story Ava, I don’t think I can do it without breaking down.

   When I fell asleep, I had a dream, and Kate visited.

   We were sitting on a hill, with a pine tree behind us, we seem to be picnicking, because we had a lot of food in front of us.

   “Miss me?” She asked.

   But seeing her made me remember the first information she gave me.

   “You said my dad is fine, but I just see him and he definitely not fine!”

   Kate looked confused, “Okay, what happen? Feed me some infos here.”

   I told her how my dad arrived at the 66^th fort severely injured.

   “Well, how am I suppose to know he will get himself injure?”

   “Actually, I never consider that…”

   “And I do all that to help you, either your dad is injure or not, worrying will do your dad nor you any good.”

   “You kinda right”

   She slowly moved toward me, “Now, now, you seem to still worry about your dad.”

   “Guess so”

   “So do you want to see what he’s dreaming right now?”

   “You can do that?”

   “Of course I can”

   She grabbed my hand and the atmosphere around me started to changed, when the place refocused, we were floating above a dark wasteland, under us were a group of people.

   Kate dragged me down to see what was going on down there, I saw my dad was leading a group of four, behind them was a 10 feet tall dragon carrying an obelisk on its back.

    "He must be dreaming about what happened to him" Kate said.

   Suddenly a thunder struck in front of them, emerged was none other than Ludwik the devourer of god in all his god-devouring glory.

   All the magician in dad group pulled out their staffs and swords while Ludwik slowly walked toward my dad.

   My dad made a hand signal to his dragon, it jumped behind him, ready to fight.

   "It's pretty brave of you for coming here by yourself...Ludwik"

   "Why did you assume so?" He said and clapped his hand.

   3 dozen magicians emerged from the ground, surrounding my dad's group.

   "What do you expect to acomplish from this?" Ludwik asked, "Sneaking into my territory, you will definitely be found."

   "Even though that the case..." My dad said "We won't let you summon the unnamed beast"

   I could nearly saw him smile under his hood, "But Gilberd, I think I will, I have everything I need, the ritual will be finish in a week, surrender now, and I will allow you to join my cause, you all will make a great allies."

   "I rather die!" Dad commanded the dragon to jumped in front of him.

   "As...you...wish" Ludwik charged.

    And the fight began.

   There was an explosion, a thunder strike, a lot of thing happen that I couldn't intepretate very well.

    The fight go on for about a hour, the only one that left was dad and another magician on his team standing back to back, with nearly all of Ludwik's team surrounding.

    Dad was already in the state we saw dad in, a lot of injuries and cursed, and some of his body was drogonify.

    [Yes Ava, I invented that word just for our dad.]

   "Mr. Anker" the last guy on my dad said to my dad, "I'm scared"

    “Don’t worry Garry” Dad told him “We will survive”

   “I doubt that” Ludwik said, He summoned a lightning out of his iron staff, which struck at Garry, the lightning dragged him toward Ludwik.

   [Hey, a star war reference, how about that?]

   Garry dropped to the ground, he seem to still be alive, but Ludwik grabbed his neck, and snapped it, killing him.

   “I never know he was like this” Kate said.

   “He tried to destroy the literal order, what do you expect?”

    The dream faded away.

   “This is bad” I said “Really bad”

   Kate turned to me, alarming “If what he said is true, there less than a week before the unnamed beast will be awaken”

   She came closer to me, “You must go now, Jordan” she said.

   “But what about you?”

   “I will gather information that might help you and contact back in a few day.”

   She kissed me by the cheek “Good luck”

   And I wake up.

   In that morning, I called everyone in the 66^th fort, except for dad for very obvious reason and Beta who was still taking care of him.

    I told them the dream I had last night, but I cut out the Kate part because Ava might mocked me from it.

   [Yes, the world might end next week but I still worry about that sort of thing]

    “We should wait for your dad to recover first” Edge said, “He might have more information.”

   So we waited, about 4 in the afternoon, with the support of Beta, dad walked out to the main hall, with bandages covering his chest and some on his arm, and also he was undragonify.

   “Everyone, I have a bad new.”

   “We already know about it, dad” I said and told him about my dream.

   “That good” He said, “We need to stop the ritual, and there no time to waste”

   He tried to walk by himself but couldn’t, he would fell to the ground if Beta didn’t caught him.

   “Senpai, your power isn’t entirely back yet” Beta said “It might take another night for that”

   “Fine” He said “We shall leave tomorrow a…”

   “At noon?” Ava asked.

   “Actually I gonna said as soon as possible”
