monster and magic (end, for now)

ลำดับตอนที่ #7 : Chapter 7 The head magician

    And you said my part was too much info dumping.

   While you guys were chatting, I was nearly freeze to dead.

   Now we walking at the Siberia street at 4 PM, Gamma said the Russia fort was around here some where, but didn't know the exact location.

   "There!" Gamma shouted and pointing to a random hobo."Local magician!"

   I about to thought that Gamma gone crazy when the rock hit him in the head,  when the hobo answered back "How could I help you, fellow magician?"

   “Can you tell me where is the Russia fort?” Gamma asked

   “Sure, it just on the next corner.” The hobo answered.

   “Thank you.”

   “It's my pleasure, and quite frankly my job, to help.”

   As we continued walking, I asked, “So all hobo was magician in disguise?”

“Nah, just one in a million.”

   We arrived in the end of an ally, it looked just like every ally we passed, Gamma used his staff to rubbed some ice, revealed a signed that read:

Говоритедругу и приходите

   “Speak friend and come in” Gamma read.

   “So we like, tell them we good guys?” I asked.

   “Not exactly, we just speak the word ‘friend’ in Russian, другу”

   [It pronounced ‘drug’, weird right?]

   The wall started shaking, it started to split apart revealed a long passage way.

   So,  I know that I needed to describe the Russian fort, but at that time my mind was very fuzzy, so I will just skip the describing part, it didn’t important to the plot anyway, and beside, the Egypt fort is much cooler

   [Don’t worry , Jordan wouldn’t complain, I have just locked him in another room, he will find out later when we wrap up the record.]

   But one thing in particular that I remember though, is that as soon as we entered, many magician ran toward us and started to surround Gamma, brought out pen and paper,  as if they wanted it to get signed by him.

   When we reached the portal room, I asked him “What wrong with those people?”

   “Just a crazy fan, don’t let them bother you.” He answered.

   Hmmm, it seemed that our new friend didn’t just pick up new magician for a living.

   Gamma opened a portal and we walked into it, it wasn’t  dizzy that much this time, but still dizzy.

   We arrived at the center of the Egyptian fort, we in underground, as so it seemed, the ceiling soared to twenty feet, both side of us was a big market place, selling staff, wand , paper, potion etc. It was supported by giant pillars, we saw some magician, some in robe, some in traditional cloth of many country, some in business suit.

   See! It was cooler than Russian fort. 

  “Come on” Gamma said “Head magician want to meet you.”

   We walked thought the main street; we passed a huge fountain, with gods and goddess statue. We arrived at a 8 feet gate, Gamma pushed it open, revealed a really long passage that seemed to went on forever.

   Seriously, we were walking and running for too long now!

   When we arrived at the end of a passage, I saw a throne, making from quartz, and there was the head magician.

   I expected the head magician to be frail old dude, with an expensive robe like a leader of magic community in many other fictions, but that not the case at all.

   He was young, probably as old as Gamma, he had a light grey hair, a purple eyes, I wasn’t kidding, an actual purple eyes! He wore a white overcoat on top of a purple shirt, a black slacker, and a white shoes. And his wings, he had wings did I mentioned that? They were 6 feet long eachs, their color was pure black like a starless night.

   In other word, he was like that evil angel Lucifer when he decided to turned good.

   Standing next to him was the most beautiful woman I ever seen; she was around the same age as him, she has aqua blue hair which its match her eyes, she wore a white hoodie with a black sleeves, a gold bracelet with a blue gem,a light blue short and a black over knee boots.

   “All hail head magician, Alpha.” Said Gamma with no respectness in his tone.

  “Gamma” said Alpha, “You knocked the man who supposed to pick up the chosen two unconscious and come in place of him, do you have any excuse?”

  “Well bros, paper work is boring.”

   I thought Gamma was pretty reckless to called the head magician bros, I thought that Alpha  would turned Gamma into a hamster or something. But Alpha just signed and said, “Since we a child, you always doing what you wanted.”

   “Well, I love the thrill of an adventure, back in the old days, we always have it, but now? You were the head magician, Sis became a magic teacher, and I force to be the technical guy.”

  “But Gam,” said the woman who standing next to Alpha. “You should at least tell us.”

  “Beta was right.” Said Alpha. “We actually thought that some monster hit the other guy in the head.”

“Fine” replied Gamma. “Next time I will leave a letter.”

   “So you guys are like, sibling?” I suddenly said.

   [What? I just curious.]

   Alpha turned to me. “Technically we're triplet, so you must be Jordan and Ava, tell me about your journey.”

   We told him how the minotaur attacked, how we opened the portal ourselves, how we entered the Russia fort.

   “Do you have any dream?” He asked a weirdly specific question.

   During the time we were unconscious, I dreamt about home back in Florida, my best friend, Elisa 

and Mag, and about Gramp and Grand.

   “Nothing important” I answered and then turned to Jordan. “What about you?”

   “Well” Jordan said, nervously,  “I see something.”

   He described a throne room and two weird man, ploting something.

   “This is bad.” Said Alpha.

  “But wasn’t it just a dream? It happened inside my head, right?”

   Beta smiled, “Of course it happened inside your head, but what make you think it isn’t real.”

    [The reference is on.]

   “You see Jordan,” Alpha explained,” dream sometime can be more than a made up image, it can be a vision of what is going on, or someone with great power want to show you something. You said they were talking about intruder right?”

   “I guess.”

   Alpha whistled, and suddenly two wolfs appeared, one with dark blue fur and one with black and white fur.

   “Hati, Skoll” Alpha called the two, “Warned the squad that they know they coming.”

   The two wolfs howled and disappeared.

   “Your dad should receive the message by the next hour.”

   “Wait" I said, “Our dad was in that squad?!”

   “Yes”

   “ Wait, wait, wait,” I said, because you know, today I received so much information that my little brain couldn’t process. “Tell me who that guy is, what he doing, and why we need to fight him.”

   “Okay” Alpha said, “ That guy in Jordan’s dream? His name is Ludwik the devourer of gods.”

   ‘Worst villain name ever’ I said to myself.

   “His objective is to awaken the unname ancient creature, and use its power to create the world in his ideal, which has no rules and no order, the world full of chaos, we fighting him for decade now, but 10 years ago, we receive a prophecy that the siblings who can end his plan is arrive, and you two fit the bills.”

“I still don’t see the devourer of god part.”

   “I will tell you when you older, but that not important right now, tomorrow Beta shall teach you two magic, today you need to rest.” He turned  to Beta, “Can you lead them a way?”

   “Yes, Al”

   We followed Beta to something hall like, which divided male and female, that where we separated from Jordan, she leaded me to one of the bedroom.

   It was homey with a queen side bed, a closet, a refrigerator, and a personal bathroom. I undressed myself and took a bath [Imagined this sceen, I dare you.] When I came out, I found a pajama that fits me perfectly, I fell to bed.
