Chereads / Third Keys Book 1 The Gate of Kryos: Jeremy Kidd / Chapter 15 - Chapter 13: The Beginning of a Long Journey

Chapter 15 - Chapter 13: The Beginning of a Long Journey

Jeremy had gotten up and Lumiere had told him that he had to rest for a while before they left for the gate to close it.

"Where are the others?"

"They alright Jeremy. Remi, Chris, and Royal are in the next room and Vermeil with Frost."

"Okay, that good but what happened to Sophia?"

"She was bitten by the Black Dog and her leg was infected."

"So what happened?"

"We had to cut it off."

"Cut it off?"

"Yeah, she was going to die if we didn't but that is nothing you need to worry about right now. Emilia and Kim were worried about you when they saw you and Maya and the other maids were worried about you too."

Jeremy was feeling sorry for being so weak and not protecting everyone because of his overthinking and his lack of knowledge.

Lumiere had put his hand on his shoulder and told him some words.

"Jeremy, it's good to know stuff before you go in but you are full of information. You like a cup that is full of water and overflowing from the cup. What have I learned through them? What did you gain from these situations?"

"I am overflowing."

"Yeah, because that is lost in your own head."

"But what happened to the mansion?"

"It had been overrun by people. You are a wanted criminal in society."

"What!?"

Emilia heard Jeremy's loud voice and woken up and was in tears of happiness until Jeremy was getting lost in his own thoughts. Emilia grabs Jeremy's hand and Jeremy looks at Emilia and sees a flashback of his mother in pain holding his hand.

Jeremy starts to tell Emilia and Lumiere about what he saw down in Light's mansion.

Back before Jeremy and Emilia went to the Academy. Jeremy had looked at Light's notes and his notes claim to say something about twelve comic worlds that have twelve emperors but the information on them is unknown. There was also information on the first emperor known as the first master.

There were tales of the first master but it went silent a few years after his death. There was also information about Jeremy's father and the world of Kryos. It claims that Kryos is highly dangerous and unbalanced in its current state. It also claims that there is an emperor that rules under the world.

The emperor's name was Cloud swift. So Jeremy had a plan to take on Cloud but he didn't realize that he was a major threat. Jeremy scent an evil aura that was coming off Cloud. Jeremy read this information and he took it with him and Jeremy realized that he needed to recruit members for his guild but Jeremy's main focus was on Cloud and that be Jeremy's downfall.

Emilia heard all this and she told Jeremy to never leave them out of these situations. Lumiere had given him some words to make him realize that he is not alone.

"Jeremy, you need to realize that you have a guild and you can't keep secrets from your family and family is important. So realize that quickly and learn from your mistakes."

Jeremy had remembered those same words from somebody from his memory but Jeremy didn't know who he was visualizing about but he felt like he knew this person.

But Lumiere starts to scent a god aura and he realizes that it was Egyptian god, Seth and he is wrecking Jeremy's world. Lumiere asks Jeremy if he heals yet and Jeremy said he is feeling fully healed and Lumiere told him to come on and get Zek and Hawkeyes.

Lumiere, Zek, Jeremy, and Hawkeyes went to Jeremy's world. They went to California to face off with Seth. They left Ishtar and they passed through a gate and were falling out of the sky and they saw dark clouds and they were traveling through thunder clouds and after they got out of the thunder clouds they saw Seth wreaking havoc across the state of California.

Jeremy had fallen on a rooftop on the top of a building and beside him was Gilgamesh and he began talking to Jeremy about the Egyptian Gods.

"What do you see?"

"What?"

"This is the world of the Gods and their creation and people tend to talk about those Gods like they are unknown to the society. This world is a cruel place that almost makes you think about who is a good God."

"There is a God and only one."

"So you call them fake Gods."

"Yes, they are fake to the real God and people think so highly of them but they just like us but only with powers that are beyond our limit as a moral being."

"Good answer."

After Gilgamesh said that he strikes him with a spear and Jeremy was perch through his left arm and Jeremy attack back at Gilgamesh but he disappeared into thin air and then a bright light came from above Jeremy's head and a thousand spears came down on Jeremy and Gilgamesh begin speaking to Jeremy about power.

"Power is everything you know."

"Power is not everything."

Jeremy dodge Gilgamesh attack from behind and Jeremy jump to the next building while the last building Jeremy was on was collapsing and Jeremy try to cast a spell but Gilgamesh was in his face and slash toward Jeremy's heart and Jeremy was worried but he saves by Zek and Zek told Jeremy to get back and stay out the way.

Jeremy was feeling like he was just a burden and he was putting everybody else in danger but Jermey realized his shortcomings but Jeremy leaped off the building and onto the ground and headed toward the gate to Garden Oaks to close the portal. Zek kept Gilgamesh busy for awhile and Gilgamesh realizes when he sees royalty in his area and he sees that Zek is royalty.

"Are you royalty?"

"What? No, I am not royalty, and if I am. I am not telling you that."

"You seem to not know your own origins."

"What?"

"You mortal beings are too shallow."

"Shallow, you say. Well, say that when I kick your butt then King Gilgamesh."

Zek unleashes his saber and calls for his saber's help. His saber name was Artemis. His saber had symbols that light up blue on them and Gilgamesh saw them symbols before but he was curious about the saber's origins but Gilgamesh felt a power that was beyond his power.

Gilgamesh opened portals up and attacked Zek with them but Zek was too fast for Gilgamesh to keep up and Zek was trying to understand what he was talking about with Jeremy.

"What was talking about when you mean power?"

"Power is everything without it you can not stand at the top and that boy is one of the few that will realize that soon."

"What are you talking about soon?"

"Look around you and your current world. Power is fed by pride."

"If I don't know any better you almost steal that from the fallen angels there self."

"You could say that but if I was you I would keep my eyes behind you."

A spear came behind Zek and hit him a little bit but Zek was still standing and then Zek's body was disappearing and it turned out it was an ice clone and Gilgamesh was surprised and Zek slashed him across his chest.

While they were fighting Jeremy was hurrying to the gate as fast as possible but he soon ran into a problem and he has seen that a bright light was coming down from the sky and Jeremy wasn't sure had long he been out and he has seen that all the Gods were out and he has seen a giant footprint on the ground and he realizes that he was out for more than two days and things can't get worse and then Jeremy realize that he needs to get to the gate within two hours.

Hawkeyes was worried about Jeremy but Lumiere had told Hawkeyes to not worried about Jeremy because Jeremy probably realizes that he would only get in the way if he stays but Lumiere told Hawkeyes that why he brought Jeremy here in the first place but he didn't feel like he should not have told Jeremy that because he would not learn that way.

Hawkeyes understand and worry about what is in front of them right now. Hawkeyes are facing the God of War, Ares. Lumiere facing the Egyptian God, Seth.

Ares had strike Hawkeyes with his spear and Hawkeyes dodge it and he slashes Ares and Ares block it with his shield and his shield disappear and Ares spear reappears and he slashes Hawkeyes with a major slash and the building behind Hawkeyes had to slash in half and Hawkeyes was in the shock to see such power but Hawkeyes know what he was getting into when he came along but Hawkeyes was glad that he didn't face Seth. Hawkeyes switch his ability to the marksman.

Marksmen were once bounty hunters but all in a flash they disappear within the blink of an eye. The history of Marksmen is a mystery. Hawkeyes had his gun out and start shooting at Ares in the legs but Ares block it with his shield and Hawkeyes aim toward the sky and his bullet came back down and its locks on its target and hit him in the back but Ares took in the bullet and he heals from the bullet and Ares rush toward Hawkeyes and then he shot in the right direction and Ares reappear his shield and he uses it against Hawkeyes and Hawkeyes cough up blood and he on his knee and he said he felt for it.

The bullet hit Ares in the head and his helmet came off and Ares short and black hair that is almost toward his neck and Ares asked him his name.

"My name is Hawkeyes. Don't forget it."

Ares laughs, "You are very strong but not strong enough."

Jeremy had made it to Garden Oaks but it only took thirty minutes but Jeremy was stopped by the high elf. Rose had attacked Jeremy for his foolishness and Rose thought he was played by a moral and he realized that he was wrong about Jeremy and Rose had a wood bow.

Jeremy explained that he was just trying to fix his society but he didn't realize that it was more than his society in trouble and in chaos but Jeremy realized because of him. His world will be destroyed and only a handful of people are going to survive.

Rose didn't listen to his lies and he shot him with his arrow and it had pierced him in his right shoulder. Jeremy is now handicapped and he thought he was just a fool of knowing everything but he realized that he was far from knowing anything alone by himself but Jeremy realized that he was never worthy of anything. He was just some boy that has always been alone and then Rose to pierce him again but this time it was his right knee. Jeremy was fading into a deep sleep and he was losing a lot of blood and he saw a vision of a man with white wings.

Rose had felt a high amount of power from him but he felt like he knew who power this was. Jeremy was in the vision and white feathers surrounding him and he was on his knees and Jeremy was asked a question by the white angel.

"Do you want to save your friends or yourself?"

"I want to save my friends but I feel like I am not worthy of your power because of my lack of experience. I might have trained but I haven't even hit the surface of my power yet."

"That is all you need from the beginning. Your friends and fails. That is what a wise man."

Rose was terrible about Jeremy's aura and he felt a power that was beyond any person. A saber appears and Rose aims his arrow at Jeremy's left knee and he fires his arrow but Jeremy had a protector shield around him and Jeremy rises up and the saber that appeared back in Kryos had come back to him.

The saber glows bright and the symbols on the saber glow too. Jeremy had slash Rose's arrow in half and he slashes the air apart and the air came back in split second. Rose had fired off multiple shots and Jeremy traveled faster than Rose's arrows and he slashes through all of them like there was nothing.

Jeremy had a major slash across the top of Rose's head and Rose was scared and Jeremy walked up to him and he asked him a question.

"I respect you Rose but why do you feel that way about me?"

"Because you tricked me and you kept the gate open and you know that the balance will be broken if you didn't close the gate."

"I'm sorry I upset the balance but I am here to fix the problem that I created and I will get the truth about the Omniverse."

"Are you scared?"

"No, I am not scared but I know that I am not ready yet to travel down that path. So I will just go with my first plan with friends. No, my family."

"Good, so close the gate of Kryos and save your family."

Jeremy had closed the gate and he returned back to the others. Lumiere was injured but not anything major. The past is moving forward and everybody was vanishing and Hawkeye's left arm was broken and Zek was pierced with five spears but he would live. The world was silent and they travel back to Ishtar and the people that live in Ishtar are from Jeremy's world.

Lumiere returns to Arthur and they discuss Jeremy's path.

"My brother is doing better than I thought but he still hasn't felt the pain and loss of someone close and he still lacks the knowledge of the omniverse."

"He made me part of his guild."

"So be part of it and help him as you help me through my time of needs."

"Yes, your majesty."

"I'm not your emperor anymore. You are his and now I will go back to Central Prime."

"And do what?"

"Fighting off the evil from the borders of the other good comic worlds."

"Arthur, do you believe that your brother will take your spots as an emperor?"

"I do. Time will tell."

A month had passed and Jeremy was telling his guild about their next goal. Jeremy had told Lumiere and Emilia to find the second key. The journey is just beginning but Jeremy feels like his smile is beginning to come along.
