16. Seth To Be In The State
After the angel leading Seth Parker to the adjoining hallway they rushed over, in the mirror portal.
A girl locked into the mirror, she demanded for help Seth and the angel tugged until she comes free. She fell into Seth arms and blew her bangs out of her face with a smile.
After helping the lady, he slipped into the Hall, when he was momentarily overwhelmed by the higher ceilings, stained glass, windows, dining tables and the countless. A handful of heads swiveled in his direction, though the Finlay Barker continue to drone on up front.
Megawatt smile waves guy over nearby table, and Seth hurriedly slide into the seat next to him.
"Yo my nigga where from you?" He asked
"Am from earth." he responded
"...He opened his mouth to responded, but it was cut off by the Finlay Barker loudly clears his throat.
For while, the boy hook off around Seth people
Started to rise their feet and shuffled towards the door. The Finlay walked briskly to Seth and gave him pat on the shoulder and reassuring smile.
"You are Parker from earth follow me" Finlay his eyes narrow as the cheeks get pushed up from the mouth wrinkling besides the eyes.
"Okay what can you offered me?" Seth interrogated.
"Alright follow me"
Seth realize that his body have gone completely rigid, his body tensed. He forced a laugh and will himself relax?
Finlay pressed his palms together, then began moving his hands forth and back in front of the wall, as if wiping steam from a mirror.
With each move, the wall seemed to melt away, revealing a door behind it. Finlay clenched his hands into fists. Then, he pressed his knuckles together and takes a steep breath. He shoke Seth head in disbelief as Finlay leads inside the room.
As he walked further into the room, he catched sight of a jar ; when both was looking for orbs which will use as magical to perform the tutorial in the term to reach time god.
The eye of jar full of shiny jagged ovals, shimmered in the overhead light. He stiffen at the sound and slowly turn, expecting to see someone behind him. Finlay sift through some boxes behind Seth while he scanned the rest of the room. Seth laughed as he catched sight of a unicycle propped up in the corner.
Seth set it back inside the box, tendrils of white smoke curl inside the glass.
He walked a little further down the aisle, squinting of the shelves. A metallic glint catched his eyes, and he picked up a silver ball.
"It's a star-tracker. It maps the rotation of stars! As an orb they are the white orbs it is called (Orb of Dunamis.)"
He holds out of his hands for the orb and pressed an onyx button again. The panels folded in, and the stars disappear.
He hurry away down the hall simultaneously relieved and even more confused than he were before. With Finlay following him.
He put his hands out and lean the doorknob against the door, taking a moment to center himself... He felt a chill go through he fell through a transparent blue wall and onto the floor. As soon as he were in, the door reforms..
He plop down on the nearby couch, sinking into the soft cushions. The girl Seth saved together the angel Rachna Dharanipragada was already perched in the sofa across him.
Sudden Rachna spotted on him...
"hey isn't you that help me?" Rachna inquired with reassuring smile.
"yep..but I am here for specific purpose!"
"oh.. you can tell me, cause we are each other keeper's."
"okay.. I am from Earth I need someone to help me complete my time tutorials." Seth explained to rachna
"oh that why?... Just follow me I can help you and I will introduce you to someone to help you."
"really?!"
"yeah let go there's no time."
He followed Rachna across the room and find himself facing a door with a variety of doorknobs in different shapes and sizes screwed into it. And entering through it and appeared in the afternoon sun, the square is bustling with activity. He see a stately woman with deep blue skin and tusks dragging a kicking toddler with impish horns past a magical toy store.... Beyond that, a pair of men with pointed elfish ears and webbed hands debated over a beaded bracelet at a still marked 'charms.' The seven-foot-tall woman's head whips around Seth direction. Rachna grabbed his arms and starts leading him away hurriedly. She stops abruptly in front of a shop labelled 'The Fluffy Lich' The sign in the window describes it as ' your № 1 stock shop for orbs' A rustling from the pile of lamps on your left makes you jump. A mountain of rusted candelabras avalanches off of a high shelf, heading straight towards Seth!
Seth take a hesitate peek up and saw that the candelabras have been stopped in mid-air and are hovered just over his head!
"Sorry am a wood nymph so please forgive me" the wood nymph shop owner requested for pardon from Seth.
"Nothing it's alright"
She holds out Seth hand, and when Seth shook it, he was shocked at how her skins feels both like polished wood and flesh all at once. As she started introduction himself she paused thoughtfully, looking off into the distance as her eyes grow dark and clouded. After a while, it seems obvious that she's checked out completely.
Senila eyes lighten and refocus on Rachna as she shook her head clear.
Senila eyes set back on Seth her eyes shining brightly.
Senila pop up from behind the counter, coughing and covered in dust. She slammed a polished wooden box down on the counter, with 'Hidden Ministries Marbles' written in gold curlicue handwriting on the lid. Seth look a little closer at the contents of the box, and see a variety of colors in the tendrils of smoke. Blue, yellow, green. After senila the wood nymph rummaged through a drawer before handling Rachna a dusty blue orb adding it to the Orb of Dunamis.
Handling the marble to Rachna she rolls between her thumb and forefinger, raising it up towards the ceiling placing the marble back..... And a raincloud appears overhead as the blue smoke dissipates from the marble. It began to pour! Returning back to the dormitory with Rachna to begin the time god tutorials. The next morning to perform the magical spells in heaven.
