Chapter 23 - A hidden power

"I hope you found something good kid!" the commander stated, his expectant sight was on Two.

Two was frozen; he didn't know how to explain that Bo Wong was the one who had a sleeping power within him. His brain was erroring repeatedly.

If the commander realized the boy's power then there would be a huge mess, coming up and he might kill the boy. He didn't want to put him in danger. They may think of his power being a cursed thing but for Two it was a blessing as if a two-sided blade.

The Hausto wraiths increased and hit the Gods' shield. It was weakening and they had to find the way out.

"Could you or not?" Six said.

"Yes, I found." Time was short and he had to make his choice.

"What is that?"

"I can enter a Lashuka's memory through a middleman and move us out. The God's power in this circle can help us move out." Two's eyes were on Bo.

"Do you want him as a middleman? Come on, you got it."

Two nodded and they both walked to Three who was healing Bo.

"Enough Three, pass him to us." The commander stated.

"But his face is yet…"

"Let those be as a gift from me." He pointed to Two, asking for a further move.

All gazes lifted in their direction. Bo was about to get up but Delun stopped him. He tapped on his shoulder, saying that was fine to him. Anyway, they couldn't stay there forever.

"Hey wait, you want to make a mind portal through Bo and sacrifice him! Are you out of your mind? If you were capable of such a thing then you didn't need to use him." Delun protested.

"Hurry up, we can't hang on! Just settle your stupid differences." One yelled out because the seizure of wraiths went out of their control and Lashuka was getting close.

Six rubbed his eyes off the vampire girl and appeared behind Delun, pulling him back.

"Glue him to one of the sculptures." Ordering Five then shifted his eyes on Delun again added, "Maybe your small brain can't hang on this, but he is already affected by diamond's power that needs a strong mind. Lashuka is after your friend! Although, I still think that he assisted Lashuka by dragging us here." Six said when Delun was glued to the sculpture, cursing him.

He burst out laughing, this was a foolish accusation that he blurted out of the blue moon. If Bo alienated them there then why would he show up there?

His friend was just a regular human and as everyone knew, humans had no superpower except having a rich brain that could create their technology. He was a shadow aligner, this part was true, but his power was coming from the diamond of immortality court.

The laughter died on Delun's face when the commander added the possibilities, "Maybe our gods decided to bless humans with some power. Or Lashuka cursed him with his dark power."

He couldn't deny that part, maybe he was right and gods decided to give some power to humans so they could advance their minds to the next level. But what was he saying about Lashuka curse? Could it be even possible, that Lashuka used Bo as a portal?

During their argument, Bo heard Two's voice inside his head saying, "You are a transporter! The only one that can move around."

"What do you mean? I never…" he cut his words.

"Listen, I know that you were unaware of your power and I didn't tell the commander about it! don't disappoint me and bring us back to the shield so I can take us to the present era that we were already." Two pleaded.

"How should I do it, and why are you doing this?" Bo was confused.

"I will tell you, now just calm your friend down and act normal."

Bo obeyed him and turned to Delun who was arguing with the commander.

"Play it cool man, it will be alright." Bo interposed, calming Delun that it was fine.

"But…" he devoured the rest of his words as he found Bo's expression serious about his decision.

"Do you have anything to say?" The commander asked and the mortal boy shook his head, denying, everything was queer already even his own being.

"Bena, do you know where are we?" Two asked. This could help him to assist Bo by sharing his power with him.

"Yes, this is the Dorat land, the throne of goblins was here. The wraiths took the whole land and the goblins now are under the rules of Lashuka. All of them joined him and that is the castle. You were here once you were young, do you remember?"

Four explained. All she could sense was darkness and fury and barely could sense the animals that were strolling in shadows, witnessing them.

Two confirmed with a node. He was living here once and lost his parents here and the king of goblins simply offered his throne to Lashuka and refugees like him rushed to Vita.

The stroke on the god's shield detonated his thoughts. He placed his hand on Bo's shoulder, glancing into his eyes. He was upset with himself for lying to the commander and not telling him about the boy's power. It was already accomplished and he couldn't solve it now. He needed to focus now.

The shield broke and the wraiths seized. The Bena hit her hands to the table a circle of waves made the wraiths retreat and the vampire frizzed the air. They were supposed to keep the dark forces away from the kids.

Two entered Bo's mind again, dragging the related memory close to the first line of his mind.

"Listen, Bo, here, you saw this place in your dream, and then you were led here by your power when you were young! This is the fact! Just imagine the shield when the juggler appeared to save you then leave it to me. In here Lashuka is able to block my power."

It was tough to feel how weak they were against Lashuka but he was a powerful half-god.
