(Gliz narrating his thoughts!)
"I had no idea what he was going to say next, what came next shocked me, I had never seen this side of him before, I began wondering things."
As Bryce places his hand on Gliz's shoulder, Bryce ghoulira says like it's truth "What we do is whatever the hell we want!" In a serious manner.
Gliz goggles his best buddy, Bryce, as if he were an alien. Gliz is astonished and begins wondering about many things, mostly about Bryce's new friends.
"This is hard for you to take in, mostly because Bryce hasn't acted like this before he met us, you knew him since childhood, so, you'd be amazed, Am I right?" Aika verbalized without a stutter.
Gliz didn't want to admit how correct she was about that, so, he remains silent.
"Yeah, look at your silence, proof, I can read a man by his actions!" Aika says confidently.
Gliz finds difficulty in verbalizing himself like Aika, who scoffs at him as she walks away.
"Don't worry about Aika, she has a story all of her own for why she's like that." Says Bryce as he smiles.
"While she can read people, Bryce has a way of making people talk, and trust." Gliz says in his head.
Gliz is brought out of his thoughts by the voice of Bryce who says "Come with us to this mansion we found!" Urgently.
"You guys are squatters?!" Gliz asks the lot.
Bryce scratches his head as if he's confused as he answers "No, more like…" then he's interrupted by Aika as she states "We use the stupid adults' neglected homes for our spray paint storages, and we sometimes hangout there." In a confident tone.
"Heey, should we really be telling the bastard all of this, we just met the bastard!" Cessair yells out angrily. "True, we did just meet him, but if Bryce trusts him, then he's trustworthy as well.. I don't see Bryce trusting someone who would betray him." Aika yells back to Cessair.
Cessair growls angrily, yet he does have a sense of trust for Bryce as well, even though he just met him.
"We're planning on breaking in and vandalizing the stephlon library tonight, they're behind the times, but tomorrow, they're planning on catching up so… let's give them a reward, you in Gliz?" Bryce informs and asks Gliz.
Gliz is shocked and stutters constantly "I.. i…. I" until the chance for him to talk is taken away when Aika states "Yeah, a dumby could read you!" Followed by Cessair with wrathful eyes maintaining his distrust.
"SEE?! I BET NOW HE'S GOING TO GO TO THE POPOS!!" Cessair yells in an angry tone.
Ned stares away from the group, in a random direction.
"Even if he won't do it, Gliz wouldn't eat on us, have more trust in him Cessair…" Bryce states.
Gliz ponders on the situation as a million other things are caught on his mind. He knows the culmination is likely hunting him down, yet he's no longer afraid, he's much stronger than before, "Come on, brother, we need to catch up!" Bryce verbalized.
"Alright, yeah, Let's give them a reward they'd love!" Gliz states plainly after looking into his brother's eyes, sensing the eagerness of catching up he has.
The friends all head out to their mansion to pick up their supplies and wait out, then, regroup near the library when the time hits midnight.
The night is misty and foggy, dark as if there were no streetlights, the library is long closed by midnight. The Stephlon Library is also large, one of the largest in town. Nobody is outside nor around the area, so they empty their duffel bag then cessair ditched it in an empty nearby alley.
Two cans of high quality spray paint bought by Bryce for each of them. Bryce had no idea how much to buy, so he bought bags worth.
The friends head inside where they encounter shelves and shelves of pure books and books, shelves in the center, one large shelf on the wall. They search around for a large white wall, since Bryce remembers coming to this library earlier, and being met with what he thought of as the perfect canvas.
They eventually find the wall and after hours, they make a rebellious masterpiece, the friends each chip in, including Gliz.
Gliz walks up to Aika who's checking out some of the books that are shelved, he peeks in on her reading a book called "The events of the world".
"What do you want stupid moron?" Aika says angrily as she moves her book away from him.
He comes up to her and nervously says "nothing, sorry…" and attempts to walk away, she can read he comes from a messed up past like her, so she decides to talk to him.
She asks "Do you like reading?" In a softer voice than before, then he turns around in surprise.
"Yeah, I actually love reading, it was a lot of what I used to do." Gliz says more audibly.
"I'm going to graffiti the back, WHO THE HELL'S IN?!" Cessair yells out excitedly.
"Quiet down numbskull, someone outside might hear you!" Aika says cautiously with a fierce look towards Cessair. "Are you kidding? Nobody can hear us from within these walls, we're good to be loud!" Cessair yells back at Aika.
Bryce smiles and says "I'll go with you Ces, I have nothing better to do." As he gets off his butt.
Bryce, Cessair, and Ned all follow each other to the front door to get to the back of the library, while Gliz and Aika remain talking.
Aika finds a famous book as she randomly looks through the library's selection, she sees one she's personally fond of and shows Gliz.
The book is called "S.R.C's dream chronicle", a book telling stories of uncertainty.
"You know how the author of this book claim all these to be true stories?" Aika asks Gliz genuinely. Gliz answers "yeah" confidently.
"Do you think he's lying?" Aika Asks Gliz, dying to know. Gliz struggled to answer as he didn't want to come off as insane, yet he clearly changed his mind at that point and thought about his life, he knew his answer but struggled to get it out.
"Because I've had this feeling they were, I don't know…" Aika said undoubtedly as she attempted to read him.
"Here's a story from one of the books that I feel is true, tell me what you think." Aika says at ease. "In a far off place, to an earth much like another and another, a man who scouted the universe landed, as he didn't have any brothers. He held all the weight left of a civilization, who was with God, on his person. Searching and searching as a favor to a friend, whom, belonged to this plan, In which who could help preserve this civilization. He met a man known as Quintel, whom he put under Exams and enigmas to test his heart, Quintel passed his test and his expectations and was fitted with limitless power of the civilization." Aika reads in an equanimous tone.
Gliz has no idea how to feel about that story, one side is telling him it's fiction, another is yelling at him that it's nonfiction, he was so confused, he murmured, "yes" then "No" as he looked away from her.
Aika pulls Gliz behind the shelf they're near when she hears a voice, distinctly a man's voice, coming from the white wall they're near.
"Ahhh, yes, I smell children, more children for me to steal their youth." The man muttered before he laughed maniacally.
"What do we do?!" Gliz asked himself as he tried to build up his courage.
The man sniffs around as he's nearby the two, then suddenly and unexpectedly, holds his hands out and blasts a weird ball of glowing light at the two.
Aika rolls to her right, having the attack not hit her, but the shelf falls on Gliz and many, many books fall on top of him. Enough to cause heavy damage.
Aika turns around to see Gliz buried underneath a large pile of books and the heavy shelf, she turns to peek at the man who's attacking them, she sees a beard and that his attention is on Gliz.
"HEY, YOU PIECE OF CRAP!" She yells out to him, attempting to gain his attention from Gliz.
He doesn't budge and realizes Gliz is still conscious under the pile, "After that many books, no man should still be awoken!" The man says in his head.
The books have buried him, big books, small books, medium books, books of all sizes and weight have fallen on him with the force of a few men, while he's a kid, and he's still up, the man found that fascinating.
He walks toward him as if he doesn't have a worry, as Aika realizes this, she runs to grab something to attack him with, she figured she'd have enough time, like a chair at one of the tables.
The man unexpectedly teleports to Gliz, and removes the books and shelf without touching them. Gliz is badly hurt, but is not knocked out, he gets a crystal clear look on his face, the wizard grabs Gliz by his hoodie and studies him.
"If you are unable to see who you are, you will be a good, nerdy one." The man says in a spine chilling tone.
The wizard turns him near more book shelves a line down, then knees him in the stomach that blows him 4 shelves down, out of 10 shelves.
As Gliz lands on his back, he gets up and grabs his stomach, screaming in agony.
"Ahhh, yes… as I deduced, you're from special.. lineage, a fine sacrifice indeed." The man said again, in an alarming tone.
Gliz finds his cool and focus despite the tears and life or death predicament he's in and gets on his knees, as much as he can manage, without saying a word, a gun forms in his hand from out of nowhere.
This catches the man's eye, Gliz says "I'm not done, YET!" As he's become outraged.
The skin on the man's hand slowly melts away as he aims his palms towards Gliz then yells out "YES, YOU ARE!!!" In a blood curdling voice.
