Chapter 16 - Peeping toms

In the parallel world called Yggdrasil, a group of people clad in black robes was watching an image in a fountain. There was 13 people there, gathered in a ring around the little fountain. The thing that made this fountain special was that it was made out of a huge piece of diamond, and the liquid in it was black and viscous. On the top of the fountain, a mirage was showing a scene of a man in a grey building, and surprisingly it was Josh.

Person 1: We have finally found one of the anchors!! He said with an exited and hoarse voice. You could hear that he was an old man, or a very unlucky woman.

Person 2: Don't be to happy! We had to use up 40% of our corrupted sun dew just to find one, and we have yet to find a stable source for that. This voice was a voice which was as clear and alluring that a man would have to use quite an effort to not pounce on the owner, but for a strange reason, all the 12 other members shuddered.

Person 3: "That don't matter! We found one, and as far as I can see, our previous effort was not in vain". This was a voice that would make a death metal singer jealous.

While all the individuals discussed about the scene they saw in the mirage, a voice as heavy as the heaven descended on them, and the owner of the voice said: "He shall not be touched or be alerted. If one of you as much as goes against my decision, I will make the initiation trial look as a dream". When all the people turned to look in the direction of the voice, they saw that one of the four people who sat on a throne above them in the shadow had talked.

They all became as silent as a murderer in front of the police. All of them wondered why one of their leaders would protect such a kid, but none dared to voice out their thoughts, they all just went down on a knee and said: {Yes, supreme master}. And the voice once again descended: "Rise, puny subordinates. For your tasks are not yet done. Find the other anchors within two weeks, or the traitor Jackson. Or else I will have to use you as my expendable training dolls". This made all the black clad people shiver, and they immediately faced the fountain and chanted: [#"¤"#¤/()%¤HG/%(¤%):] in a strange language that only the ancient wielders of magic would understand.

Meanwhile the four seated persons rose from their thrones and floated down to the ground and left silently. They all went their own way, and they did not look back. When the person who had talked in the assembly was sure that he was not followed he whispered: "I finally found you, flesh of my flesh and blood of my blood. And this time, I will protect you. His voice was filled with joy, and a hate that made the walls around him turn black and crumble. He silently walked away to a destination only he knew of, and he went there in flash.

One of the other throne sitters suddenly appeared where the wall had crumbled and said: So, Josh Low has returned to the living. Not weird skelly went so far as threatening the elders for what that should have been a stranger. I wonder if he will be just as strong this time as he was then. After that, the person disappeared once again.
