Haa! See name, send me a link to the story

fhunn:
Nimen, you posted somewhere that you could complete most stories on NL. I need you to complete one for me after you finish this Magi

which one?

He opens the door and a man in overalls comes in, it was the man that had tried to kill them in the restaurant and in Simon's school... Insibidi. He smelt of death, more than he was before when he defeated him and banished him to the evil forest.

"Hello Ancient one" Insibidi said in deep baritone

"Why are you here?" Aiden asked

"You thought i'll rotten away in the middle of the evil forest? The charms protecting the evil forest from human civilization was too small for me to handle"

"If you're here to revenge on what happened in Bhidi, then get it over with" Aiden says raising his hands as if in surrender

"Thats not what am here for... But in due time, i'm here ancient one, to formally appeal to you as is the customs of magi to leave the young dreamer for me" Insibidi says pouring himself a glass of whiskey from the mini bar

"And you know, Dark one that the dreamer is my protege and i can't in anyway retract ma protection" Aiden replies

"In that case may our blood pour forth to quench the thirst of nature in our quest for vengeance and respect..." Insibidi says bringing out his dagger and cuts his palm, his blood dribbles to the floor. Seconds pass with them only looking at themselves

"So? You won't honour the ancient magi traditions?" Insibidi asks after almost thirty minutes of silence and staring

Aiden brings out his own dagger and cuts his palm, squeezes it shut and his blood drops into Insibidi's and it evaporates out of the window of Aiden's Eko hotel suite into the Lagos night sky, Insibidi grins wickedly and disappears, Aiden opens his hand and the injury was gone... It was the last power he had gotten, cementing his claim as an Apex Magi, nobody knew yet, because he's been in black africa and hasn't gotten in touch with the magi world. But only two other Magis had healing powers... Gabore and Amax the oldest Magi alive.

Aiden hears hasty knocking and moves to the door of his house, grabbing his gun, from the table and hides it in the jean

"Who is it?" He asks

"Simon... please open up"
Aiden opens up and Simon crashes in with two ecolages

"Wow... You have a huge house" Simon exclaims

"What's with the bags, thought you didn't want anything to do with the "Conspiracy theories" ehn?" Aiden asks amused

"They chased me all through yesterday, i had no choice, i feigned madness to throw them off ma trail, so i'm moving in with you, hope you don't mind?" Simon says, looking real tired

Aiden bursts out laughing

"What?" he asks slightly ashamed

"You can use one of these things right?" Aiden says, pointing at a laptop in the living room he'd been trying to use before, Simon knocked.

"Of course..." He says sitting down. In front of the computer

".... I once hacked into..." He stops there abruptly

"... You know what? Never mind" He says apologetically

Aiden smiles and hands him a picture which he looks at very well with his mouth well rounded in an "o"

"When you through with your little fantasy, you can locate Josephina Maria De Guzman" Aiden says placing his hand on Simon's shoulder sfter which Simon shudders immediately.

"You zap people with electricity too?" He says wiggling his shoulder

"Yeah, when they don't seem to concentrate on the important mission at hand" Aiden says sitting in the sofa by him

"hmm mission? I like the sound of that... So where should i start?" He retorts

"She's spanish, try Spain or Southern America"

"Okay... So as i'm searching can you tell me more about her, like if she has a boyfriend and maybe if she zaps people with electricity" He says tapping away at the keyboard

"You can ask her when we see her, who knows she'll let you buy her a drink or something" Aiden says smiling

"Well seems i'm one step closer to doing that" He says as a page is loading He claps his hand smiling

A full page appears on the screen, a name and an address with a full picture of a lady in a baseball cap

"Thats her, we're going to get her now" Aiden says rushing up the stairs

"Wait!!" Simon yells, he shrugs picks his phone and runs up the stairs to a room well furnitured, and wonderful paintings and antiques hanging...

"Wow!" he says

"What?" Aiden replies turning to see him at the door as he throws some clothes into a tennis bag

"The lady, she's in Guadalapa..." he waits for him to reply, when he doesn't he shouts

"... Thats in fucking Mexico"

"And yes i know where Guadalapa is, that's where we going now"
he zips up the bag and wears a baseball cap going out..

"And how in frigging hell are we going to Mexico now?" He says half breathing it out and moving to the front door with him...

Sorry for the delay... Had to finish some stuff before deadline... So am baq

Simon was running, not knowing exactly where he was running to, he decided to change route, into the CSO's office, people were looking at him like a mad man, the car couldn't go very fast, because the roads in the school was filled with various sizes of pot holes and bumps.
Simon was a natural athlete, he had been in his school team, when he was in Secondary school, a legendary winger, before long bullets where still being fired at him, people started screaming, he runs faster towards the direction o the CSO's office, looking back, they were gaining on him, looking forward, he sees a mercedes s-class before him he runs sideways into the grassy area, The assailants start shooting again, Aiden comes out of the Mercedes S-Class and shoots at the assailant's car one bullet smashes the windshield, hits the driver in the forehead, he slumps over the steering wheel and another bullet hits the tyre and it halts.

"Get in!!" Aiden shouts at Simon

Aiden looks to see his nemesis from the restaurant, he shakes his head and sprints faster, just then he hears the spray of bullets behind him... One hitting a tree in front of him and another killing a student running away. He doesn't think twice again, he jumps into the car waiting for him and it zooms off...

"Who were those guys" Simon says panting heavily

Aiden just gives him a bottle of lucozade sport and he gulps it down as he perspires heavily

Aiden drives out of school and stops at a street adjacent to the school.

"They're part of a huge conspiracy, they monopolise the actions of dreamers like yourself, so they can get enough power to rule over the naive world..."

"Okay? I don't understand a thing you just said..." Simon reiterates

"We are called magis of the Zoroastrian order..."

"...You mean as the three magis that visited Jesus, so that shitt is true?" Simon interrupts laughing

"I don't know about that, but thats the way you guys see us, as clowns that follow stars with gifts... You forget that we are the only true astrologers, we were the first to sail the world, we invented the first camera, we created the first microscope, the first telescope... We are masters of airspace technology, but the only way you people know us is that we brought f***ing gold for a boychild you guys don't even believe in" he said smashing his hand on the dashboard.. Which causes Simon to shudder

Aiden composes himself and continues
"As i was saying the magi are rated on where there loyalties lie, like mine, it Lies with the light and that guy there, it clearly lies with the..."

"...darkness" Simon completes

"Well right... You're a dreamer, thats why they're after you, so we need to lay low for..." he stops midway as Simon picks his phone and completely zones out tapping the screen of his phone and smiling...
Angrily Aiden grabs the phone from him and smashes it on the floor, coming outside and stumps on it

"I dunno what's with these new generation kids and these toys" he says still stomping on it

"Hey man! what the heck is wrong with you?" He screams coming to pick the phone, the screen was shattered in pieces

"This is a f***ing Samsung Galaxy S3 it cost a whole friggin lot"
He screams

"You know what? You and your stupid conspiracies can go to hell for all i care and you must buy me a new Samsung Galaxy" Simon says
Aiden just smiles, he's got some balls he says to himself

"how much is it?" He says entering his car

"Sixty thousand naira" He blurts out
Aiden opens his glove compartment and brings out some money, not counting it, and throws the bundle on him

"Thats 70k, enjoy the rest of your tiny life mortal, they'll catch up with you later" He says before speeding off

Aiden was just really stressed out, he shouldn't have acted the way he did, but they could've bugged his phone, he wanted to know which magi was behind this, somebody must have asked Insibidi to look for the young dreamer, Insibidi was a magi like him was born around the 14th century, around east africa, he wasn't a long liver, but has managed to live for 6 centuries, he must have extended through black magic, slaughtering innocents, he'd met him before, when he was holding some young kids hostage, they were given as offering to him by the cameroonian natives of bhidi, it was believed he ate human flesh in order to keep living. Insibidi's dark powers knew no bounds. The magis where in danger the darkness was gradually swallowing the light, he could feel it... The darkness needed to be stopped. He heard a knock on the door, he wasn't expecting anybody tonight... Nobody knew he was sleeping in Eko hotels tonight, he picked up his gun and screwed the silencer in, and went to the door, and he slowly opens his third eye, the aura was really deadly, black deadly.

To be cont'd

thnks bruv u 2 much

Simon had a wonderful weekend, they sang at Karaoke clubs, went to Jide's legendary party they went to see two movies at the Silverbird Cinema, with all the craziness and the romantic nature of the dates, they didn't have more than wet sloppy smooching and touching, which he didn't like, they haven't had sex in months, truthfully they've had sex only once in their relationship, she didn't have any reasonable reason for her actions just bullshitt talk, whatever, his friends have started ridiculing him, that he wasn't man enough and she was getting it elsewhere, maybe that "fine boy" pastor that's her friend, he didn't believe Lily would just cheat on him, she'd been living with him for six months now, he didn't even wanbt to think of it, he pulled his polo down over his head and strenghtened it looking at the mirror as he admired his phisique, and flexed his muscles, he was cute and he would make sure by the next weekend he was getting laid with or without Lily, he grabs his school bag and leaves the room.
He had to get to Mr. Ogbuagu's 7' o clock lecture, he didn't let anyone into his class immediately he stepped in.
Joe, his flat mate was blaring some Queen Bey songs in his new Home Theatre and it was literally shaking the building, he knocked at Joe's room, sorry i meant pounded before Joe could open the door

"Morning bro, whats up?" Joe says, his alcohol stenched odour hitting him squarely in the face, he resists the urge to scream at him, he just smiles...awkwardly

"I'm good, i'm off for seven o' clock lecture" He says, moving towards the front door

Joe shrugs and follows him in order to lock the front door behind him, Simon takes a glimpse behind... The dumb guy had a bitcch in his room, he hadn't been in town for more than six months and he's getting laid?

The walk to school was torturous, he had to save his pocket money money for lunch and the normal flexing, he had his sights already at the girl he's taking out after lectures today, he couldn't afford to dull, or his street rep will fall rapidly, he entered the lecture hall, it was almost full...

Thirty minutes later Mr. Ogbuagu's lecture is in full swing, he is shouting instead of talking and everybody is busy jotting down something, he never used a PA system he always mentioned the strenght of his natural voice maintained his respect among students.
Two men come into the lecture hall and as usual Mr. Ogbuagu, stopped agitated

"Young men, no one comes into my hall when am teaching" He yells, the room resounded with his strong voice

A third man comes in, the freak man with powers at Juvenik restaurant, he looked much more mean today

"We don't want no trouble..." He says to the lecturer as he comes in, moving through the rows of seats towards the lecturer.

"... we just looking for a young man Simon Okon" he said facing the students in the hall

"What arrant nonsense..." Mr Ogbuagu fumes

"... Mr. Man i want you out of my hall, you can come back when i'm through by nine" Mr. Ogbuagu yells.

"Mr. Ogbuagu, you don't seem to understand the gravity of the situation" The man says as a pistol floats in the air via telekinesis, the nozzle is almost in the face of the already trembling Mr. Ogbuagu and the trigger squeezes itself releasing two steel bullets between his eyes and his big professor's brain spatters at the white board and it slides down slowly, leaving a messy blood trail behind, the whole class squirms and it immediately starts as chaos, people running helter skelter, but three shots quiets the lecture hall and that time... You could hear a pin drop

"Thank you for giving me your undivided attention, now i demand you give up Simon or..." the wierd man says grabbing Maureen the wise arc who sits in front and puts the pistol under her jaw and squeezes the trigger, her head blows open and her brain splashes on the ceiling ... Everybody screams, crying out

"... that" The man concludes flinging the body on top Mr Ogbuagu's body

"Anymore volunteers?" He says

Simon was trembling like kilode, the two men had automatic rifles on them and they were looking at the students, as if trying to recognise them, they were really focused, Simon didn't know what made him to do it. He just stands up and in one second he jumps on his desk and out of the window, it took the three men by surprise as he landed on his feet and he took off, the men cocked their guns and fired, but he was still running.

"Dumb heads, he's out of range, you..." pointing at the bald one

"... Finish up here" he says and the bald man starts laughing like a maniac, he cocks his gun and everybody screams

"You... Get the car ready" he tells the other one and he runs out to get it...
In minutes several gunshots were heard with screams and maniacal laughter following...

TiffanyJ:
You are doing great, my oga at the top but don't you think that since you are narrating a story that has obviously taken place already, you need to make use of the past tense?

The feeling of re-living the story and visualising it... Thats why i use the Present Continous Tense... Thats me thinking though

Therock5555:
Geeeez

I understand about the loopholes, will tighten them in due time, your constructive criticism is welcome sir, helps me write better

Aiden wakes up in a start, he'd had a lot of friends he'd wanted to call on, but he couldn't... Fearing that the rumour was true, the darkness had infiltrated the light, creeping in like a cancer making friends kill themselves, he picked an old drawing of Gabore, he wondered where his mentor had been all these years, he hears a knock on the door, he picks his gun and puts it in its holster ties it on his waist and wears a t-shirt to cover it.

"Coming right over" he yells

walking unto the front door, he opened it only to see Gabore

"You cannot be serious!" he yells and hugs him, Gabore laughs out

"Aiden, you looking plump, almost the same" Gabore says grinning happily from ear to ear.

"You too Gabore, i'd been thinking about you just now, thought that the Spanish inquisition picked you up" Aiden says going to the mini bar to pick up a bottle of vintage wine.

"I feel insulted, i was part of the Spanish Inquisition" Gabore says laughing

"You don't mean this" Aiden says pouring a glass for him and for himself

"Of course, i showed many of them the paradise in Africa, helping them escape" Gabore says gulping down the wine and Aiden refills

"Surely, you don't mean this, so what of the ones the spanish inquisition did kill?" Aiden says refilling his glass

"Either they were stubborn magis or common locals who beared the brunt of the church" Gabore says laughing out loud, he moves around smiling

"You've really carved a niche in this continent for yourself, you're really a legend in many parts of this continent" Gabore says

"Most of the magis that came down here where infected by the darkness, they turned into monsters, somebody had to stop them" Aiden replies

"Yeah" Gabore sits down in the sofa, heaves a huge sigh

"Aiden you're like my brother, son and protege..." He says sipping his wine

"... The darkness is rising, again" he concludes

"Yeah, i figured" Aiden replied

"Since you're here, why don't we fight together as we did in Pompeii?" Aiden says.

"Things has changed now son, ma powers are thinning out, besides we now have a dreamer"

There was no need to keep things from Gabore, he always knew, or else his powers where thinning out as he had said, the oldest long livers live till five millennia, before their powers thin out and then they die miserable deaths, he could sense the aura of fear around Gabore, although he tried to mask it, he wasn't as strong as he used to be.

"...the dreamer resides in this country, i want you to look out for him, the darkness are already after him"

"Then i'll get a chance to meet the man that killed Maia"

"You haven't forgotten" Gabore answers

"I've been living the life of nomads for two millennia, living with the most savage humans in the world, watched them die and grow, perfected my magic, i think its finally time" Aiden says slowly

"You mean you haven't been with a woman for that long time?" Gabore asks smiling mischievously

"I have dear Gabore, But what else am i living for? If not for re... Urm taking back my pound of flesh" Aiden says, Magi associated with the light weren't allowed to say the "r" word

Gabore smiles and takes his last sip of the wine.

"Then Aiden we have a long way to go" Gabore says, reaching a hand into his suit, and the same instant, two bullets hits him in the left chest and Gabore slumps on the sofa immediately

"No!!" Aiden snaps running to get the midre leaves, but thinks against it and runs to the cupboard, pulling open a drawer and picks a pistol, rapid shots are fired into the room from the window, the glass window shatters and he hurls himself behind a sofa as the bullets shred them in pieces, he crawls to Gabore's sofa and bends the sofa backwards so Gabore could fall over, he was bleeding out, shittt

"Gabore don't die on me please, stay with me, Chant the ten incantations of Muda"

Gabore looks at him and smiles

"My son my journey is finished, better this way than screaming till i rot to ashes, finish yours with bravery"

"What do you want me to do?" He asks tears welling up in his eyes and mucus filling his nostrils, he sucks them in

"Find Josephine, find the wand of..." He slumps

He checks his pulse, nothing

"No don't die on me... No!!" he screams and breaks into loud crying, after a few seconds he stops and leaves the body and disappears

The two assassins had stopped shooting they were moving into the building when Aiden appears behind them

"Hey" Aiden says, his face in an angry distortion. His pistol stretched before them

they turn in amazement, with a move of his hands via telekinesis, they fly crashing on the floor near the side of the house,
"Kneel" Aiden says slowly pointing his pistol at them

They kneel immediately

"Who sent you?" He asks whispering, they don't answer, he looks at both MP's the guys where using that fell on the floor, they come up and points at them, it cocks itself

"Who sent you!!" He screams

They shudder

"Okay baba... Abeg we don't know, he just called and dropped the advance and dropped the pictures in...."

He is interrupted by the MP's losing control and emptying a full clip in their head, spattering grey mater all over the compound

Continued later in the evening

Oga Roy... You are good... Your stories are just that perfect.

Simon is walking down the street, he was panting, looking back in the dark street, as if looking for something, the moon was now covered in the clouds shitt, he couldn't see where he was even stepping, he started jogging, he wanted to go as far away from it as possible, he sees a house with a room that had the light on, he runs faster to the gate, he bangs on the gate, tried opening it

"Shitt" he muttered it was locked.

He heard laughter, a wicked laughter, it echoes down the empty street

"Where will you run now? Young dreamer?"
He laughs wickedly again, Simon looks around trying to find out the source of the laughter, he starts banging the gate in desperation as the laughter grows louder, he backs the gate as the moon comes out, and he sees a man stepping out of the shadow, his eyes pops open and his mouth rounds in a wide "O" the moon stares and it seemed like time stood and watched too, the man bares his teeth and laughed again, his mane start growingm so did his body, hetting hairier, and he tears his cloth and leaps into animal form on all fours, he grew on all fours, up to five feet, he bares its teeth again and growls angrily, with the foul breath coming out, Simon carefully mutters his last praters and closes his eyes,

"Baby, wake up!!" he hears someone say.

He opens one eye, and slowly opens the other, he sees Lily, his girlfriend, staring down at him

"Pheew..." she says cleaning up the sweat growing in her brow and the lil tears forming in her eyes

"... For a moment there you got me scared"

She says moving along to the window and opening the blinds, as light creeps inside the room

"What kind of nightmare was that? tell me?" She says removing the blanket from on top of him

"Nothing" Simin says frigning a smile, awkwardly, standing up in gis briefs

"Nothing, its just nothing" He says and enters the bathroom, closing the door behind him as a Shocked Lily looks on

He was shaken to the bones, it seemed so real, it was as if this dream was one of those that came to pass in the long run as vivid as they happened, he locked the door behind him.

cool observation sha... I've made it clearer

.....continued

The baldheaded man in dark shades is sitting in his Honda Element brings out a wrapped small paper from his dashboard and unwraps it he pinches the weed in the paper, and slowly wraps it cylindrically and purses it between his lips, he checks his blue flowery native top's side pocket ruffling through what sounded like keys, he checks the second pocket, ruffles through it before producing a lighter, after to flicks it lights the cigarette in his mouth, he drags in as much smoke as he could, holds it a bit and exhales... Immediately his phone rings, he takes it out...

"Have you gotten the location?" A voice filtered through the loudspeaker

"Yeah i'm here in case it doesn't work according to plan" the bald headed man replies

"She's taking the lead?" the voice says again

"Yes..."

"Okay, remember we need this one alive"

"Positive" the line goes dead

he takes a drag of the weed looks at it amused.

Aiden walks into the restaurant, it was a friday evening and it was filled to the brim, Nigerian people sure know how to unwind, he looks around, confused... He turns on his inner eye, to see rays of colours, pink over the head of the couple attempting pre-intimacy under the table, green on the two friends chatting away about soccer, on the far away table, two young people weren't talking, a red aura was oozing, lightly from the boy.
The last time he had used his powers to fight since he left Pompeii like two millenia ago was when two priests of Akuma in modern day Ouadagogou wanted to overthrow the head chief of Akuma, he was a mekshu something like a salesman, he was selling portuguese clothing to the chiefs. The priests were fortified with dark powers, but they were beaten down, the head chief gave him a title he can't remember, but Aiden was a song now sang in their folktales, he sipped his coke.
The lady seating with the dreamer stands up and moves towards the restroom, it was his chance, but then he sees this bald man coming in from the door, black aura surrounding him as he pushes the door open with such a force that pushes down the butler opening the door, he shoots down two light bulbs, every where turns in chaos, Aiden rushes towards the young man, pushing him down as bullets spray the wall behind him, he grabbed the boy and made for the door marked staff only, he drags the boy in and pulls down the industrial fridge behind the door, the bald headed man rushes in, into the corridor, shooting sporadically, Aiden dragging Simon enters the kitchen and the bald headed man follows, shooting blindly, shooting down two cooks who wouldn't take cover, Aiden comes out from behind a freezer, kicks his gun and it clatters away from him. Joy immediately comes in shooting, Aiden flies for a gas cooker, Joy's gun clicks, she drops the gun and goes for Simon, who'd run off, Aiden trips her and she falls, he empties his clip on the bald headed man and uses the butt of the gun and knocks Joy out, he looks around for the boy.
*
*
*
The boy seeing them fighting, opened the back door and fleed with the rest of the cooks, he tried scaling the fence but couldn't, so he runs to the main gate... Aiden just appears in front of him and he's shocked

"Who... A...re you?" Simon stammers

"The man who just saved your life" Aiden replies.

"Are you sure about that?" A man from behind him says.

Aiden turns slowly to see a man with a wand in hand

"Secum vi Vovicar" He incantates
and immediately a stream of fire comes out from the wand

Immediately Aiden sees the fire he jumps on Simon and vanishes...

THE MAGI
EPISODE 2

SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN NIGERIA 2014AD

Simon just removes some money from his pocket and gives it to the Nigerien tugging his trousers, his was thankful this one had clean hands, not those ones that leave your trouser with a huge stain, and its cruel to beat a poor little beggar.
"Today should go well" he mutters to himself, since he turned 20 he'd been having dreams, and when he wakes up significant events from the dream comes to pass... Like he saw in movies, he kept his new ability to himself, "Damn christianity, this is an evidence of evolution" he always told himself, he hated being told how to live his own life. Although Joy thought otherwise... Yes Joy the Facebook/Whatsapp/BBM/Palmchat friend he was going to meet today, she glued him to his phone, her intelligence and versatile thinking baffled him.

"No hassles.. just easy" he says exhaling at the gate of "Juvenik Restaurant" one of the most expensive not to mention classy restaurant in the town, his phone buzzes and he checks it. It was Joy calling.

"Hey, i'm at the gate, coming in now... Yeah" he glances around the space that was the parking lot, a grey Honda Element holds his gaze a little, before he reaches the door a uniformed butler opens it...

He was crosslegged looking at the stars... He was fiddling with his telescope, it was a little over hundred years old, but still worked perfectly, he knew his way around astronomy, he taught astronomy in the University here... He'd had to move around since arriving Africa from Pompeii, he was impressed with how the natives has developed and were matching the Europeans stride by stride, they were even schooling them, he was a Nubian by birth and fit in directly with the black population, he was different, so he couldn't socialize, he put the telescope in focus and looked at the stars, one star was shining bright, it had a secret it wanted to unfold, he brought out his pen and scribbled mathematical equations like he was writing abcd he looked shocked, and checked the stars again... Shitt this was not through, he ran into the house and into the bedroom he ransacked the old scrolls in his bedroom and picked one unrolled it and ran to the backyard again, checked the star once again and chuckled

"Well if its not the dreamer."

Since the first day he set foot on Africa, the natives followed the priests like petty gods, mystical beings where found in the dark continent in ample supply, it increased during the inquisition, it was a safe haven for those who couldn't withstand the church.
The mystery of the dreamer had confounded the Magi for millions of years and many of the Magi only knew one dreamer... Zoroaster. And in Aiden's Two thousand five hundred years on the planet izu (Zoroastrian for earth) he had only seen a dead dreamer , in Athens during Gaius Caligula's reign, they were so powerful that the corpse of the dead dreamer when touched was believed to bring you joy the next day and eliminated every sorrow, the disciples of the dark one though Gaius Caligula dismembered the body and burnt it.
He needed to find this dreamer
he lit the candles and incense, and sat crosslegged, clossed his eyes and started muttering some incantation...
A force lifts him from the floor and he sat crosslegged, floating in the air. He immediately opens his eye

It was dead white... No pupil

*
*
*
He walks to the counter and gets a bottle of eva water, was part of the swag, he opens it and snuggles it down, he looks around and sees a beautiful lady waving at him, he grins and his heart skips a bit, he exhales slowly, straightens his shirt and steps towards her table...

"Hey cutie, hope this chair isn't reserved?" he says in a faked american accent, Joy giggles and hugs him across the table

"Hmm, its nice to meet the real Simon Power" she says smiling

"Well as you can see there's nothing so special about him" Simon says gives her a cute grin and she giggles again, "wow he was so getting laid this night" he told himself

"No way... You're the most succesful blogger in the south, with the highest followed facebook page in West Africa, 2face? Who's 2face?" She says giggling all over again

"So what will milady love to take this lovely evening" Simon says looking at her little exposed cleavage... Then like a flash he remembered something that felt like it was masked away in his memory, it was her... She held a gun at him and fired three times as he ran behind the counter

"... You're hearing me aren't you?" he heard her say, he jolts back into reality

"Urghh..." he grunts turning back to look at the now familiar face as he remembers the horrible nightmare he had last night...


Continued tomorrow

POMPEII 420AD
PROLOGUE

He walks down the alley, his house was just around the corner, he's just come down from the town hall where they debated about the several broken aqueducts around the city that had flooded some parts of the city.

"Hey Aiden, you want some sweet peaches, this wonderful morning"

Aiden turns to see the old fruit seller with the green peaches in both hands.

"No sweet Old Lonalde, my wife must have prepared some broth this this morning don't want to keep her"

He silently drops the peaches in the foyer. Aiden reaches the foot of the stairs in front of his house, he had plucked some rose flowers in front of the town hall, Maia loved roses, she'd be moody when one withers and dies, he was thinking of cultivating a rose garden for the fair maiden.

He climbs the stairs and knocks at the door, smiling trying to envision the face of Maia when she sees these flowers, she knocks a second time and waits for a minute. He turns on his Inner eye and sees black auras around the door.

"No!" He screams.

He kicks the door in and the black aura seems like its emanating from a room upstairs,

"Maia!!!" He yells

Yet no answer, Selmo the stable boy runs in.

"Call me Gabore now!" He orders the boy as he rushes into their bedroom, the sights alone makes him drop on his knees as tears stream down from his eyes. He cries out, sobbing bitterly, Maia was impaled on a spear, through her lower abdomen, killing the baby in the process, who could have done this. He rushes towards her pulling down her hair and hugging her, his tears, his tears drenching her hair, her blood drenching his hair.

"I'm sorry Maia, you got caught up in this"

"You know this was bound to happen right" Someone says.

He turns to see Gabore in his legendary white flowing beards

"Gabore" He says acknowledging his presence with a bow.

"You know it's no more safe here right?" He says in his deep bass voice

Aiden just nods

"Then you have to make up your mind now, the darkness is growing stronger by the day and more of the followers of the light are joining the darkness"

"Did they do this?" He points at Maia's impaled body

"Who else will do such monstrous things?" Gabore says

"Then i'm for the Light and will stop at no lenght to stop these momsters" He says collapsing into a cane chair.

"No Aiden, you will do no such thing, you'll have to go away for some time"

"What... You want to send me on an exile?" a bewildered Aiden asks

"No, not at all my boy" he says grinning and puts his hands on his shoulder

"I must avenge the murder of my wife" He snaps at Gabore

"They are more powerful than you think Aiden, when the right time comes, i will alert you"

Gabore was a friend and a mentor, he was a long liver like him, two Millenia older than he was, he was the mortal alive he could actually trust. Gabore stretches out his hands, clasps it tight

"See you soon brother"

"Be safe brother" Gabore replies

Aiden smiles at him as he slowly dissappears into the thin air.

Gabore turns to the body and heaves a sigh
