Chereads / The Atlantean Compensator / Chapter 23 - Fate's Descent 2

Chapter 23 - Fate's Descent 2

'All Atlanteans went in except Herald..

'While Beazly, Joshou and Ayla were dealing with the Angelic man and his Lion.

Oumad, Elara and Sebastin were pulled in by a mysterious man.'

'They all stood in front of him.

From the first sight, his look gave a dark cold aura.

The man is very tall, aesthetically muscular, wearing a black/red armor. On his waist, a white scabbard for a sword that looks to be majestic just from it's form.'

'Only his eyes and his wavy long hair can be seen from his face, the rest is hidden with a black piece of cloth.'

'The 3 felt his aura crushing them...

He spoke, with a voice that suits very well his looks and aura.'

"You will have to leave him outside."

Oumad was the first to speak, in a doubtful scared voice

"...Are you The Majestic Guardian?"

He replied. "My name is Seif Galahad.

I am one of the two Guardians of this Castle.

You succeeded at passing through the Forbidden Gate.

It means you are Atlanteans who are ready for what comes next."

Oumad. "..But my friend was left outside, why should we leave him alone??"

Galahad. "I dislike repeating myself, if he couldn't pass the gate it means he is not ready yet.

He is probably screaming now and even his voice cannot reach here.

He still got a long way."

Oumad. "...What's the reason we could pass it and he couldn't?"

Galahad. "You're a time traveler right? I allow you to use your powers here and now.

You'll find the answer yourself."

'Oumad immediatly activates his power, the watch on his wrist started to work and in a split of a million second he's there in the realm of time, searching for Herald's line.

Quickly he found it, It is different this time than the other times he traveled in time, the fate lines are very limited and no alternative lines exist. But this is not his biggest concern right now.

Oumad saw in the future as far as when Herald will finally join them in.'

'But he looks to be very concerned and confused..'

He looked back towards the Gate and touches it...Then said.

"...No, I cannot leave him alone out there!! THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY TO DO THAT!"

Galahad. "SILENCE !!! It is for his own good. No.

For the good of all humanity."

'Oumad looks back at the man in anger, his tone is irritating him at this point.

Galahad noticed the look Oumad gave him.'

'Galahad was about to answer back with a look that can make Oumad's heart stop beating,..

But Elara stopped them both by touching, which caused them to lose focus on what they were doing.

Galahad felt it inside him and looked straight towards Elara's eyes,

She wanted to calm him down so it was her best opportunity to lure him into her illusion.

Galahad said in a calm tone.'

"Good girl.."

*at that moment, he felt someone tapping his shoulder.*

'He turned arround, it's the Angelic man himself. This time with no Lion.'

Galahad. "Oh, Wade! You're here.."

The Angelic Man replied. "Still trying to scare everyone who comes here?"

Galahad. with a smile looked towards the 3 and said.

"I was only testing them..

I have to say that i am impressed."

The Angelic man spoke to Oumad, Elara and Sebastin.

"Welcome, brothers and sisters!

My name is Sahaquiel Wade

Me and Galahad are the Two Majestic Guardians of The Luxic Paradigm Castle.

This Gate right here is a test that only who knows thyself can pass.

I admired how you tried your best to help him, It was one of the two key elements to pass the Gate.

To be united as one.

But now, he can only pass it by himself.

He will eventually be fine, going through hardships to attain a full grasp of one's Atlantean power is necessary, you all went through them.

It should be to your knowing that your friend Herald, is the Greatest student we'll ever have in this Academy. To be awakened fully, he has to get through this final hardship."

Oumad stood silently, and hardly accepted what was laid to his ears.

Sebastin. "..Well, i guess nothing we can do to help Herald.

I was half right when i said that the Gate is a test of whether we fully accept our powers...

Atleast we finally met The Guardians!

Majestic indeed.."

Galahad. "Let's move on from here, the rest of you are standing there in front of the real Gate."

Oumad looked really down and sad, to not help his brother broke his spirit. knowing the hardship he'll face in the next days alone...

'Elara looked back towards the Gate, and quickly got out a piece of paper and a pen of her bag and wrote: "YOU ARE WHAT YOU DONT REALISE."

Then she proceeded to perform the same act she did the previous time, she touched the Gate and focused all her powers on it.'

'Galahad and Sahaquiel noticed, and were intruigued to know what she's going to do.

She created little holes in the gate just like the previous time, and quickly she pushed the piece of paper towards Herald's side.'

'Herald was completely sitting in oblivion and confusion.

Being Left alone on an Island he never even heard of before. Even if he was a smart fast thinker, this is beyond his capacities..'

Suddenly the little holes started to appear on the Gate, he knew it's Elara's doing...

"..E..Elara!! Is that you?

What's going on in there?"

*The Piece of paper reached Herald's side.*

'Herald took notice of it, when he layed down to pick it up.

He heard Oumad's voice saying.'

"HERALD!! BE STRONG BROTHER! YOU WILL JOIN US HERE SOON.

FIGURE IT OUT AND REMEMBER OUR LAST CONVERSATION!"

'Herald gets up fast and tries to sneak his eyes inside but the holes started to disappear before he could catch anything...'

"FUCK...

That was Oumad's voice for sure...

What's the meaning behind all of this!!!"

Herald opened the paper and read what Elara wrote for him.

He assumed it's Oumad who wrote it.

"..You are what you don't realise..

This has to be...

This is surely a valuable information..

So...

They couldn't bring me in...

Seems like am left alone in here to figure it out..

*With a disgusted confused face he said*

"Shit...

Feels like am last in class..."
