Me - guys , i have something to tell you guys
( The three people screamed at once )
Jack - what the fuck were you thinking
Arnab -are you a fool
Jacob - are you suicidal .
( For you benefit i have divided them screaming at me into three parts . All i heard was jumbled screaming which made no sense and left my ears ringing .
Me - guys calm down and listen to me .
Jacob -. You are supposed to follow the plan , all we were supposed to do was follow the plan , come on you made the plan you know .
Arnab - he will be out for blood you know , that was a direct challenge on his face . He will find us you know .
Me - just shut up you know , everybody will you . I will explain everything .
Jack - nope , no more explaining , you will just trick us again ,. You are like that from the starting . You know , you convince is do one thing and then do another thing behind our back .
Me -(screaming) guys shut up for a minute would you . I have something to show you .
(I bent and a cut on my finger . Using my blood i drew a rune on the ground . This was different from the first one , as it was more complex and bigger then the previous one . By the time I had finished it , my face was pale . During this time my friends had a weird expression on their , thinking i had gone crazy . But they held their tongue , as they were used to things i did as most of them was crazy )
Me - come on guys , touch the blood rune .
(By then my friends , were looking at me with a weird expression . The seriously considering wether I had gone mad or not . )
Me - just touch the rune or do you want me to beat you up now .
(That got them into action as , they quickly touched the rune , they really feared me beating them up .they each touch one part of the rune as I willed the rune to work .the rune began to glow blood red and the faces of my friends changed as they saw it , as surprise filled their face , but it didn't last for long as we all fell unconscious .)
(For a few seconds it felt like was surrounded by a fog but it cleared very soon as a familiar scene assaulted me . It was a memory of mine , not any normal memory but my memory of the event .)
(I looked at my hands which seemed to have gone black and white , and saw a three mist filled figures . The mist was clearing to show three people in black and white . They were my friends . )
Jack - what the fuck is happening man
Me - just continue watching man and don't interrupt me , what I am doing is dangerous .
Jack - jayanth , if you don…mm…..Mmmm
(I looked at jack and imagined him without a mouth and voila , he lost his mouth )
Me - please don't speak and just watch , if you want i can give you a special treatment like jack . You are presently in my mind , because you have to see some very important things pretty soon so shut up .
(i take the liberty of interfering , if I allowed this to continue it would be taking a couple of millennia, literally . neither i nor you have that much time so I will shorten it for you .
the story in this case begins with an event ,where within a single week the entirety of the world power fell in the hands of a single organisation .
on Monday and Tuesday , most of the kids of influential people were kidnapped . like not even one was missed . just imagine it yourself , how much power they held to take the kids of the most influential people ranging for business conglomerates to leader of countries , who had actual armies acting as protection to these kids . yet they were kidnapped with not a single person harmed , they were in like ghosts and the only proof of their existence were the missing kids .
on Wednesday and Thursday , around ninety percent of the influential people were killed . again it was like a ghost had entered and left .
finally on Friday and Saturday , the remaining people surrendered under fear of death and the life of their children .
to the normal people it was a dream come true , the organisation had united the people and the government and put the carrot and the stick in front of the people. those that did crimes had to pay , even if they hid. and similarly almost everybody got jobs , proper job security and many other benefits
. these people were essentially the ideal government .
but to us they would always be devil's spawn. you see , we were the kids that were kidnapped, you see .
and they went against the norm with us . they didn't put us in closed rooms nor did they try to harm us in any way . but what truly went against norm was that they gave us military training . they taught us to many thing . how to survive in any place , to use guns , weapons such as swords , knives and many other weird weapons that would blow your minds if you saw them . those weird weapons was tyrants collection , oh I almost forgot about him .tyrant was the head guy were we were kept which was somewhere deep inside the Himalayas . if he was the the principal then the place where we were imprisoned was a school . nobody knew his real name and even he himself addressed himself as tyrant .
tyrant lived up to his name as he was literally tortured most of the students for little to no reason .
it reached the limit when one of friend Stephan , was made to sleep on a block of ice just because he did not tie his lace correctly .
this started something of a war between the teachers / captors and us .
it began with small stuff like us burning their stuff . we did it using petrol barrels which we stole from the generators . the tyrant since stored the petrol barrels in his own room .
then our captives cracked down on us . anybody suspected was caught and tortured in a gruesome manner .
you see I caused this incident. I had incited the people into doing this . by the second year most of these people were losing their minds , wanting to commit suicide. you couldn't blame them too . they went from a stable household where they were king to this place where they were tortured if they broke the smallest rule , naturally they couldn't handle it .
so I gave them hope by giving them this idea of revolting . it was definitely not my idea to start anything . I had expected that this idea of a revolt wouldn't go beyond the planning stages .
but once it started I had go with flow , because if I attempted to dissuade them , the first thing they would do was kill me .
so naturally once they began torturing people who were innocent , everybody lost it and we began planning to do something extreme . we were about to revolt and attempt to take over our captors . while I knew , that it was impossible there little i could do too convince them not to do this . i learnt that people did not listen to the leader for what was good for them but for what they wanted to hear and they wanted to hear a revolution .
they made me the face of the revolt . and I am sad to inform you that it failed . it was to be expected because just the number difference they had was overwhelming and they were more traineed then us .
when we failed naturally i became the scapegoat and took all the blame . and you know they really could blame me because I did almost all the planning .
then began the seven days of torture by tyrant himself .
then I learnt what true pain was . the stuff he did to me would make people stop reading this book right now so on this i will immediately will stop on that topic now.
but now begins the magical part of the story , i think it was on the third day that I began to get a dream . it were instants in the life of a person . in the beginning they made no sense as they were just dreams , but it was after two months after the torture that the dreams became continous and made sense. the dreams were about a person. his life story could be interesting but that's not the main topic so let's move on .
sometimes I would spend years maybe centuries in dreams , to point where I wasn't sure who i was . whether I was me or the guy in the dreams.
the dream was set in a magical world with mages .and naturally our guy became the strongest mage there was , so he knew way too many spells . now I would like to note a point while I had the memories I didn't get his understanding of spells except a few which were the most basic . naturally I couldn't use them because they needed magical power . all I could use was a single spell known as ' phoenix body ' . I could use only three spells among that too . one was a summoning rune , the other was a mind transferance rune and the last was the main spell called phoenix body . the spell was a unique as it allowed the wielder to manipulate their surrounding physical energies to transform it into magic power . it was done using a rune etched on the part that needed transformation .
the spell itself was divided into five parts or five runes.
phoenix mind that allowed one to see through illusions , phoenix body that allowed one to convert physical energies into magical one , phoenix blood gave my blood magical properties that allowed me to use magic like the two runes I just used. and then we have phoenix flesh which boosted my regeneration . finally the last step of this spell was Phoenix unity which created the energy pathways between the previous four with the phoenix body acting as a magical energy producer and and the phoenix blood acting as a energy storage . this would allow me to freely use phoenix mind and phoenix flesh .
I could use them now but I had to direct the energy to parts using my mind which is very hard to do .it's like making a bunch of kids stand in a line and then make them go somewhere .
I wasted around ninety nine percent in transport of the energy itself.and my entire reserve was barely enough to supply phoenix mind for twenty seconds and phoenix flesh for a second .
anyways , let's continue with the story . I discovered the truth about tyrant roughly six months after the revolt . you see I had just completed the Phoenix mind . the problem was that my control of it was very weak and I could not control its activation . the problem was that it happen in front of one of the teachers .
you see the flow of energy tended to cause a pain , a mild pain . but when you're putting all your focus on something even that little pain can mess it all up for you . in my case it was handling a gun so complex and so full of tiny pieces that the small lapse of focus messed up the gun and naturally I was sent to the tyrant who had decided to take over for me ,and personally took care of everything related to me since the revolt. i had once had a request to get new under wear . even that was took care of by him .
I couldn't bring the phoenixes mind under control , because for that I needed to bring the I needed to sit down five minutes with patience .
I was suppressing the flow of energy using my mind , but that was the best I could do now .
i dont really want to get detailed about it but what essentially happen was that I went to his office and he threatened me like usual. unless I did something serious , he usually let me off
without any serious punishment (torture).
but that day he pointed a sword at me. so naturally i lost my shit and lost all the mental focus i had as every iota of concentration was on the sword which could easily take my life
the phoenix mind activated and I saw him . his description is unnecessary as you will come to understand .
upon knowing about tyrants true form there was nothing i could do except sit and plan. i tried finding information about him through the dream memories , it was of no use except finding the devil's rank . but I did get to find out about the law of solomon through . but accessing my dream memories was dangerous because it really made me question my identity , which was a scary feeling that can't be explained .
using the little information i had i made a plan .
i wanted to go through with the plan after reaching phoenix unity but two weeks something happens . one of my best friend arnab was almost killed by tyrant. then his troops began to leave , all devil's atleast the ones I managed to find as devil's . the last 10 were humans and tyrant was the last devil left . so I put the plan in motion earlier than i wanted to and that was something i was thankful for because of what happens next
