Chapter 24 : THE DEATH OF MR OSSAI
Mr ossai, watched as the spectral warrior brought down his sword on the Nephilim, which upon contact spontaneously combusted into a monumental explosion with a searing heat so intense he knew that if he himself hadn't been protected by the giant blue astral warrior he was enveloped in, he would have been incinerated.
A small part of his conscience thought about the line of houses and shops he had just blown up in an effort to destroy the nephilim, he didn't know if they were occupied but he was too far gone to care. The sight of his severely injured, probably dying wife, his daughter uncontrollably crying over her covered in blood, not sure whether they were Her's or his wife's, drove him to edge of his sanity. He didn't want to know what was happening or why it's happening, all he wanted to do was to kill the monster that has brought calamity to his family.
He watched the flames roar for a few minutes searching for any sign of movement, although he knew that nothing could have survived a strike from the sword of kakande the great warrior spirit whose spectral form Mr Ossai wore. "mother!!" he heard his daughter Elera cry. And his attention was drawn to her, willing the spectral warrior to dissolve, he turned and ran straight for her. Upon getting to where his wife laid dying he fell to his knees beside his daughter, "Donatus" his wife called with great difficulty, coughing up blood all over her chest. " Calm yourself honey, don't talk, let me help you. " Mr ossai begged, "we need to get her to the hospital" elera added. " no " Mr ossai replied "she is beyond medical help but I'm not letting her die". placing both his palms on her chest he said to his wife " lie still" then began to chant. As he did so, Elera who had been crying the whole time stiffled in surprise when she saw what Mr ossai knew were tendrils of healing force but looked like glowing green veins flowing from his hand to her body restoring her cell by cell. Elera watched as the pool of blood surrounding her mother started flowing in reverse back into her body she saw colour return to her mother's pale skin and when she finally released a moan of relief, though unconscious she still was, Mr ossai stopped chanting then turned to her daughter pulled her into a hug and said to her, " I'm sorry for what has happened what you had to go through, but it's over now" "really dad?" elera asked "yes child" Mr ossai replied.
Elera having been reassured, took in her surroundings for the first time since she had arrived, she new her parents dabbled in sorcery, but she never expected them to be quite adept, noting all the carnage, she turned to her father and asked, "all these destruction, what did he want?" "I don't know honey, but he will never bother our family again. He's gone" Mr Ossai was assuring his daughter again when he heard it:
.... I HAD HOPED THAT IT WILL NOT COME TO THIS... Mr ossai spurn around so quickly he might have twisted his waist. he had heard the voice as clear as day, it was almost as if who ever had spoken was standing right behind him but when he turned around he saw that except for his daughter and his wife, they were alone. I TRIED IT THE EASY WAY .... NOW YOU LEAVE ME NO CHOICE.... The disembodied voice continued and Mr ossai spun around again, this time getting up to his feet. With one hand he pulled elera behind him. " impossible Mr ossai thought to himself, it couldn't be.... Nothing made of flesh and bones could have survived that attack . "daddy what's wrong " elera asked looking confused, "what's happening, who was that? " she demanded. still scanning his surroundings Mr ossai replied "you hear it too?" "of course dad, the whole neighborhood heard it" "stay close to me elera, I'm not going to let anything or any one harm you" addressing the disembodied voice Mr ossai screamed " show yourself! " and as he said that a mystic circle appeared on the ground and Vincent emerged from it.
"Valiant effort sorcerer. You nearly got me" Vincent said as he emerged from the mystic circle. "how are you alive, no one survives a strike from the sword of kakande " said Mr ossai and Vincent replied " it would take more than that to stop me old man. " "what do you want with by family? " Mr ossai asked "the girl " Vincent replied " I will make my offer once more hand her over and I will leave in peace " " here is my counter" offered mr ossai, " leave now, and I won't rip you limb from limb" " have it your way then" Vincent said as he started for Mr ossai, who in turn lunched a Bolt of pure energy straight at Vincent who stretched our his palms and released a wave of hypersonic field that deflected Mr ossai's energy Bolt. Vincent released another wave from his palms aiming directly at Mr ossai who had in that second summoned the giant spectral warrior that enveloped his entire body causing Vincent's hypersonic wave to feel like nothing more than a mere push when it impacted. With Vincent taken a little aback by the sudden development, Mr ossai Siezed the opportunity to strike and in one swift movement, he brought down his giant sword on him, causing another series of explosion, but as the inferno died down a mystic circle appeared a few feet away from the spot where he stood seconds before mr ossai struck him. Mr ossai whose instincts were on high alert and whose senses were heightened, recognized the pattern of the symbols of mystic circle as the ones used for teleportation, he asked Vincent " is that how you survived my first attack... By simply teleporting yourself out of harms way? " "one of the few tricks I learned from my master " Vincent replied, "in that case" said Mr ossai "let's lock you down" and as he said that he made series of hand gestures and a very large mystic circle Appeared on the ground below and the sky above them. "what did you do" Vincent asked "I leveled the playing field, let's see how tough you are without your little teleportation trick" Mr ossai yelled from inside is spectral warrior as he made a swinging movement with his hand and the spectral warrior copied him bringing down the sword once more on Vincent who Having realised that he was Cornerd, stretched out both his hands and released a hypersonic wave so powerful that it deflected the strike of Mr ossai's sword attack and further pushed him so hard that it sent him flying a few meters backwards from Vincent. Realising that Vincent was more powerful than he surmised and that healing his wife and maintaining the spectral warrior had rapidly decreased more than too thirds of his strength, he resolved to end the battle as quick as possible . But it all depended on the spell he had casted earlier, Willing his spectral warrior to rise Mr ossai pointed at Vincent and mumbled a few chants, then fired a volley of energy balls which missed Vincent but exploded all around him, Vincent in turn fired waves upon waves of hypersonic field at him, but had little effect. Each time Vincent try get in close proximity with Mr ossai, he would fire a volley of energy balls at him for he needed to do one thing before the spell he casted on him fully manifested and that was to keep his distance otherwise he would be trapped together with him.

Vincent realising that the battle was dragging on too long, and that Mr Ossai was purposely keeping his distance perhaps out of caution or cowardice, decided that the only way to make him come close enough for him to land a finishing blow, was to target his daughter. He Turned to elera who knelt beside her mother who looked to be just regaining consciousness and started walking towards them. "No!" Mr ossai yelled as he charged Vincent, who was a few feet away when all of a sudden, he slammed into an invisible wall with so much force that he fell backwards, he stood up quickly and took a step forward and encountered the invisible wall again, he placed his palms on the wall, they felt like solid air, feeling around with his palm, he realised with a start that he was surrounded by the invisible wall. "what is this" he asked " a sorcerer's wall, I casted it's spell on you earlier... With you as its epicenter the wall will gradually contract, reduce in size from the wide area it was casted until there is barely enough space for you to stand in, it prevents you from teleporting ... It is the ultimate containment spell and you are trapped in it." , "so what are you going to do, leave me trapped here for all eternity?" Vincent asked. "Normally I would..." said Mr ossai "...but you have proven yourself a threat to my family, I cannot allow your continued existence, you are finished " as he said that Vincent watched as Mr ossai, lifted up his spectral sword and to his surprise after transferring a significant amount of energy into it, hurled it at him.
The glowing sword sailed through the air at a remarkable speed, whitsling loudly like a guided missle aimed directly at him. Standing in the middle of the sorcerers wall trapped, Vincent knew that if that thing hit him, in this enclosed space the concentrated blast will not only kill him but reduce him to cinders, with nothing left to even bury, he decided to use his Trump card which was use his powers to his full extent. He would prefer not to, for once he unleashes his full power he would have no control, but it was either that or die and he could not afford to fail, because even death will not save him from his Master Durza's wrath. Putting his one hand on his mask he called out to Mr ossai, "you know my master, always held Nigerian sorcerers in low regard, but I'm guessing he never met you. I under estimated you, I will not make that mistake again.... Behold, my true power! " and just before the spectral sword hit him, he removed his mouth mask and gave a ear splitting yell. As he did that an insurmountable field of hypersonic sound waves exploded from his mouth with so much force that it shattered the flying sword upon contact, blew away Mr ossai's spectral warrior and flattened the entire neighborhood. Vincent himself was not spared from the impact as he himself dropped on his hands and knees coughing out blood, he tried to stand but the world spun around him and he dropped back to his knees. Releasing that much power had depleted his own strength severely, and that was partly why he never resorted to using his full power if he could help it.
MOOOOOM!!! he heard Elera cry as he turned just in time to see the protective green glowing force field fade away as Mrs ossai collapsed again, he cursed his carelessness as it took only a few minutes to understand what had happened : Mrs ossai though significantly weakened had summoned enough strength using herself as the core to cast a shield spell to protect her daughter from the blast. He was glad for the love her mother had for the girl, if he had killed her, he'd have failed his mission and all of this battle would have been for nothing.

Although Vincent had directed the force of his hypersonic blast to Mr ossai, it would have taken all Mrs ossai had in her to maintain a spell of that magnitude long enough to withstand the blast, as impressed as he was with their adeptness in the mystic arts, he thought to himself that he needed to finish this. Gathering strength, he got up to his feet went straight for Mr ossai first. When got to where he was, Vincent saw that all that was left of him, was a bloody foot and a lot of blood and entrails spread around were he reasoned his body would be. He then walked towards Elera who was screaming and backing away in protest. On getting there he grabbed her by her arms and lifted her up, as he made to go something grasped his heel, he looked and saw Mrs Ossai, grabbing at his feet with a pleading look on her eyes trying to say something but, all the blood spewing from her mouth drowned out her voice.
Vincent forced his leg free, rolled up his sleeves to reveal a tiny tattoo above his wrist that looked like a mystic circle, he tapped twice and a real large mystic circle appeared, turning down back to her, he said "you've struggled to survive so much so that I have decided not to finish you off but if you do survive, kindly deliver this message to Jason for me : Bring my master the time rune or the girl dies. He has until the eclipse" and with that Vincent dragged Elera through the mystic circle and they disappeared.


Mrs Elera knew that she was near the end, she had been fading in and out of consciousness for what seemed like eternity, unable to talk or move. Shielding her daughter from the blast had sapped the last of her energy and her body was expiring. But before she died there was something she knew she must do. She never liked Jason, not for a single moment since the day, her daughter had brought her home and introduced him as his boyfriend. Although Jason had given him no reason to distrust him, what with him being kind, caring, and a good influence on her daughter. She just could never bring herself to like him, due to his nature. He was a nephilim the offspring of a human and a fallen Angel, an abomination of nature and she a servant of nature never approved of his existence let alone, his relationship with her daughter. She had always believed that nothing good can come of their relationship. But now it would seem that he is to be her family's salvation. She could feel herself loosing consciousness, and some how she knew that if she went under this time she will never comeback. Just a little more time she thought to herself as she released her spirit from her body and into the astral plane, the realm between the living and the dead, the nexus of all spiritual travel, here all things travel at the speed of light, but it was impossible for a human being to remain here for more than a second without violently having their consciousness scattered throughout all planes of existence.
Coming to the astral plane for most was a one way trip, they die and they cross the astral plane to the realm of the dead, only the most skillful sorcerers upon death are able to transfer their astral bodies back to the physical world For a very short time, and Mrs ossai was one of them. Concentrating hard on Jason, she located him and transported herself to him. When she arrived at Jason's location, she saw that he was not alone. He was with someone and Mrs ossai vaguely remembered who he was. The prophet that cured him of his amnesia. That seemed like forever ago. They seemed to be arguing about something. A body wrenching pain fired through her body.... she was loosing her consciousness in the astral plane, she didn't have much time, she had to reach Jason. Anchoring her thoughts to Jason and strenghtnen that connection with her daughter's love for him. She called out, "Jason !" no response "Jason!! " still no response "Jason!!!" Jason turned around surprised to see her "Mrs ossai? What are you doing here ?" Jason asked and as she made to answer she felt a hook pull her with such force that she felt as if her heart was being pulled backwards. Dropping to her knees, spewing out blood from her mouth, she willed herself together a little longer then cried out " help...." she felt the pull again with a force much stronger than the last one but she continued with the words escaping from her mouth in bits for her consciousness was being shattered with every tug from the invisible chain. "Save Elera... He wants the Time Rune... Durza... You have until the Eclipse " then with one final push of all her strength she willed herself together long enough to touch his face although she knew they were not really touching and said, "I give you my blessing, please take care of Elera and tell my daughter I love her " she didn't know how much of that message got through to Jason but with those words, the invisible chains pulled her with so much force that she thought her body was splitting apart until all she could see, smell, hear, taste and feel was darkness.

March 3, 2018. <sighs> It's Day 312, Internet still not working.

"wow!"

the voice of Vincent brought her back to reality. He was looking around at all the carnage of the battle. "I'm impressed, infact so impressed, that I promise not to kill you, If you can tell me where I can find the girl, whom I believe is nowhere near here" he said, then continued "I mean if she were, she would have popped out from somewhere after all this noise" And in response to his offer, Mrs Ossai conjured three orange colored mystic circle on thin air, then yelling, YOU WILL NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER, YOU ABOMINATION! She blasted him with energy beams from the three mystic circle so powerful enough that the blast radius blew away half the compound. But when the smoke cleared she saw to her horror, that her target was unscathed by a blast that would forever scar the compound. "is this a Nephilim's power?" filled with dread, she found herself asking . "maybe for some other Nephilim, perhaps" Vincent replied "we have different abilities you see.... but My invulnerability to your attacks is as a result of a protective spell casted on me by my master Durza, it repells all sorcery attacks" he explained as he walked towards Mrs Ossai, closing the distance between them And slowly stretching his hand toward her, he said "this is my power" then he released it: Hypersonic waves emanated from his palms and slammed into Mrs Ossai so powerfully, that she felt like she had been hit by a mountain, sending her flying backwards several feet in the air and watching from the corner of her eyes, she saw everything around her, including the building that she smashed into, flatten to the ground, seeming almost like an invisible miniature atomic bomb landed in her compound and levelled everything within. Her whole body felt like it was being liquefied, her bones shattering molecule by molecule, and her cells exploding atom by atom, she felt warm liquid which she guessed was blood flowing out of every opening in her body. She felt pain on a whole different level. A pain More severe than a normal human mind can register. She tried raising her head but blood spewed out of her mouth and her lungs felt like they were about to burst at the attempt. Laying her head back down she wondered to herself, is this really power.... Is this Jason's power, such devastation.
"I wouldn't try to move if I were you" Vincent warned as he walked up to her, "see I just shattered your entire nervous system, every neuron in your body is unraveling, I'm sure you can already feel the pain. You're going to die a painfully slow and agonizing death. And If you don't tell me where I can find your daughter, I swear, I'll make sure your daughter dies the same way."


Mrs Ossai laid there with tears and blood streaming together down her eyes. This is the devil's son she thought to herself, As Vincent's shadow loomed over her. No matter what, she continued her daughter must never be handed to the monster that stood over her. Praying another silent prayer that on no condition must Elera find herself anywhere around where she was.... She spat a phlegm of blood on Vincent's face then with the Last of her strength said to Vincent "Go to Hell" and bracing herself for Vincent's killing blow, she suddenly felt her whole world crumble and the darkness of dread and despair fall over everything... at the sound of a certain voice she heard.

"MOM!" the voice of Elera yelled. Mrs Ossai turned to the direction where the voice came from and saw her daughter at the spot were the gate of the house was before it was blown away, crying as she tried to brake herself free from the cluster of few neighbours that were brave enough to venture out from their hiding in an effort to stop her from entering the compound. NOOOOOO! Mrs Ossai cried with her inside voice not being able to scream out as all her strength had been sapped. Turning back to Vincent, Mrs Ossai saw an ear to ear psychotic grin on his face as he suddenly lost interest in her and started walking towards Elera. When the neighbors saw him approach they left her daughter and scattered in different directions. Picking up a stone, Elera threw it at him, with all her might yelling, "stay away from my me." the stone sailed aimlessly away past Vincent who was still grinning when he said " And why would I do that, when it's you that I've come here for, Thank you for saving me the trouble of having to look for you all over town. I swore a vow to your mother, were I to find you on my own. We Americans are people of our word, so When my master is done with you... I will fulfill that vow."

But as he made to grab her, he looked down distracted by a sudden glowing light on the ground which he made out to be a mystic circle and from within it a giant hand made of rock emerged and swatted him with such force that it smashed the protective barrier that shielded him from attacks, to pieces as it sent him flying straight through two different compound walls and finally crashing into a parked abandoned vehicle. If the protective barrier wasn't around him at the time he had gone through those walls, most of Vincent's bones would have been broken.


As Vincent stood up trying to get his bearing and cursing whatever it was that had hit him for smashing his protective shield, A volley of energy balls came firing at him, Blasting away everything behind him as he evaded them. He missed one by a close shave and from the intense heat that radiated from the energy ball, he was glad he had been able to avoid all the volley of energy balls. Next a huge mystic circle appeared out of the sky and Vincent was asking "what now?!" in frustration to no one in particular when From deep within the circle a thunderous voice spoke addressing Vincent, "You dare attack my family.... my wife, my daughter.... You will not be forgiven. I will show you despair, the likes of which you've never seen!!!" the voice boasted as a giant red astral warrior with the body of a man and the head of a lion, holding a flaming sword, emerged from the large mystic circle in the sky, descending until it landed in front of Vincent who looked closely and saw a man with glowing eyes inside the astral creature, the man raised his hand and the astral form did the same except in the giant creature's case it held a giant flaming sword.
"Disappear!!!"
Vincent heard the thunderous voice that he now realised was coming from the giant astral creature say. And following that the man inside swung down his hand and the giant astral creature did the same, with the flaming sword still in hand and a massive explosion ignited the whole area where Vincent was.

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER.... THE DEATH OF MR OSSAI.

Vincent having seen all that he had just seen, silently whispered to himself : No don't charge in recklessly, she will kill you. And right as rain, a mystic circle appeared on Mrs Ossai knife as she flexed her wrist, and it turned into a weapon with five long metal blades that were as flexible as a whip. Flexing her left hand an identical weapon appeared on it also and brandishing it before the two Okikis, that were closing in on her, she swung her weapon with all her might and they both wrapped themselves onto the original Okiki, Which Vincent had guessed she was able to recognize through the power of the freakish third eye on her forehead.... Then pulling back the first blade, she dragged out the spirit possessing Okiki and pointing at him two mystic circle appeared above and below him and in a matter of seconds he was eviscerated just like the first spirit. Then yanking the second metal bladed whip on her right hand, she slashed apart Okiki into various pieces. Vincent watched in horror as the head came off first then the neck, followed by the chest, stomach, waist, thighs until there was nothing left but blood, gore and okiki's feet.


Mrs Ossai watched the hand of the spirit brother in red twitch as the last piece of life flowed out of his body via the blood and gore that streamed out. She didn't know humans had this much blood in them. She had never killed anyone before, but not wanting to allow guilt addle her, she tried to console herself by telling herself that they weren't really human beings and that it was either them or her daughter. Soon she realized She was exhausted, battling the spirit brothers had taken more than she had expected out of her. The time limit for using the 'eye of Agu' had almost elapsed. It was powerful spell whose potency can only be limited by time. She had not expected to use it for so long. She had wanted to save it for her battle with the The Nephilim himself. But his minions would have proven difficult to handle without the eye's power. Through out the battle, the Nephilim never moved an inch, he simply watched and it made her uncomfortable. She could sense the power radiating from his body. It was exactly like what she felt any time she was around Jason. A Vast and insurmountable power. And even worse, she thought, unlike Jason who doesn't even know what he his capable of, this Nephilim seems to be well aware of how powerful he is. She knew that to even have a slight chance against him, she needed all her power.


She cursed her luck, in igbo dialect as the time for the 'Eye of Agu' elapsed and the third eye closed. Then immediately she remembered that she had called elera to come home as soon as possible and dread fell on her. How could she had done that, she asked herself as She prayed silently to all her deity that Elera should somehow not obey her and remain where she was, for otherwise she would be handing her own daughter to the enemy on a platter.

"How?"
He found himself asking as his gaze drifted to the sorceress' forehead just in time to see the painted closed eye on it, slowly open.
Vincent watched in awe as the new third eye that was right at the center of her forehead scanned around and blinked. It still looked painted but the eyeball moved about in a life like manner.
Ojiji taken aback by the sudden development, melted into the shadows casted by the the sorceress and then appeared again almost immediately, from another shadow that was not within her line of sight, but to his surprise, seconds before ojiji's blow was about to connect, the sorceress turned and blocked it again. Seizing the moment, Okiki the warrior in red threw his ringed blades at the sorceress with a precision that made it impossible for the sorceress to avoid, while battling Ojiji, but to his own surprise yet still, The sorceress, using a complex acrobatic move evaded the ringed blades so smoothly that it seemed to Vincent like she had seen it coming, way before it was thrown and she was prepared for it.
"impossible!"
He exclaimed again .
"no man alive has been able to survive the combination attack of the spirit brothers, how-" he was asking when cutting him off, the sorceress repeated, "spirit brothers" "yes" Vincent replied "The twin brothers Okiki and Ojiji. Were born to a village where twins are considered bad luck. So abandoned in the forest and left to die, this children, were possessed by another twin spirits who occupied the right side of their bodies. Making then half man half spirits. Hence the spirit brothers"
Vincent explained then the sorceress scoffed and said
"spirit or human, anyone who threatens my family will fall by my sword. With The eye of Agu..." she said gesturing at the painted eye on the center of her forehead
"....A secret spell that has been passed down in my family for four generations, I'm invincible.... With this eye, I can see the nearest possible future. Which in other words means, I can see through all your attacks right before it happens." she said as she easily blocked another of ojiji's attack. "I can tell which shadow this bastard is going to come out from... what his next attack would be.... and now that this farce has gone long enough, it's time to end it!" she said as she withdrew a few meters away from Ojiji. Extending her arms, mystic circles appeared above both her palms: a short knife emerged from the circle on her right palm and a skull looking cryptic symbol appeared on her left. Then in one swift movement, she rounded on Ojiji and getting to him, she placed her left hand with the skull symbol on his chest and pushed hard. As a sorceress she Knew it was impossible to kill a spirit warrior without separating the spirit from the man. So with that as her intent, she murmured a few incantations as she continued to push until, a few seconds later, her hands phased into Ojiji's body pushing out the spirit that possessed him. The spirit a humanoid astral creature with half a face, Floated out the back of Ojiji as he himself fell to the ground on his knees. Mrs Ossai said a few more incantations with her left hand still placed on the spirit and a mystic circle appeared above and below the spirit and at the same time both of the mystic circle released a humongous amount of energy beam on the spirit and in a matter of seconds the first twin spirit was no more. Turning her attention back on Ojiji who still knelt helplessly on the ground, raising her battle knife up, she could hear Ojiji's twin brother Okiki yelling NOOOOOOOOO! As she slashed down, in one powerful strike at Ojiji, severing his head from his body.
Vincent watched in awe as the head of Ojiji rolled away to a corner, while the headless body spewed blood from the center of its neck as it fell to another side. YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE! Okiki the brother in red screamed, then with ringed blades drawn he split into two with one being a copy created by the Original, as was his ability and interchanging lanes in an effort to confuse her, Okiki charged for the sorceress.

Vincent Had expected to meet some level of opposition from the family he was attacking but he was not at all prepared for what he was looking at.

A sorceress fully dressed for spiritual battle stood in front of the main building. She seemed like a force to be reckoned with, but Vincent didn't mind that for he was looking to end his mission quickly.
"Go no further!" she spoke, "Turn back now and I shall be merciful" she bragged.
"merciful?" Vincent scoffed, "I think you're a bit confused about who needs who's mercy" he yelled back at her then continued "look around you, what can a single sorceress do against two spirit warriors and a Nephilim. You're out numbered and outmatched." then taking a deep breathe he offered "we only want the girl Elera, Let us have her and we'll leave peacefully. No one needs to die." the sorceress, stood still for a moment, as if she was actually considering the offer, then in a split second, her expression changed from the passive aggression that it was to pure hatred. Spitting on the ground, she replied Vincent "Nephilim scum. Over my dead body, will you take my daughter" she said. "That can be arranged" Vincent chuckled then bellowed "Ojiji!" and immediately at the mention of his name, the spirit brother dressed in all black, quickly swung into action. Sprinting towards the sorceress he brandished his short twin swords and a few feet away from Vincent he suddenly melted into the shadows casted by the shade on his right. Vincent laughed out loud then said "you've lost this battle before it started." then proceeding to explain he continued "no man has ever fought Ojiji and lived, other than being a masterful swordsman, he has the ability to travel through shadows. Which means he can pop from anywhere and you'll never see him coming." he boasted and the sorceress chuckled.,
"I was hoping I would not have to use this" she said then continued "but if that's the case, I am left with no choice"
the sorceress said, then releasing her battle stance and taking a deep breathe, she closed her eyes and mumbled a chant. Vincent was wondering what she was doing when Ojiji suddenly appeared from out of her own shadow and was about to strike her with his sword when to both Vincent's and Ojiji's surprise, she instantly turned to face Ojiji then Crossing her wrists in a defensive maneuver, she blocked Ojiji's attack that was coming at her with such force that their clashing impact sent shockwaves pivoting in different directions. "Impossible!" Vincent exclaimed thinking to himself that no mortal man should have been able to survive Ojiji's shadow attack, let alone block it.

CHAPTER 23 : VINCENT VS MRS OSSAI.

Meanwhile as at the time Jason and the prophet were having their discussion,
somewhere on the other side of town.....




Mrs Eunice Ossai: a woman in her late forties, was browsing through the array of stocked fish spread out on the floor in one of the kiosk at the local market in her neighborhood... when her left knee started to slightly throb in pain. No no no no not today she thought to herself as she continued to go through the wide array of fishes.
Today was a special day for her and her family. It was the anniversary of her wedding and her Husband's birthday so she had gone to the market to buy all the food stuff she needed to prepare a very Sumptious dinner for the occasion. Like her husband, she was an adept in the meta physical. After the incident with her daughter's kidnapping, she had taken sorcery precautions to forewarn her of looming danger towards her and her family, and a throbbing knee was one of them. Everytime time any member of her family was in danger, her knee would begin to gently throb And the intensity of the pain would steadily increase, if the danger looms closer or becomes more threatening. Intending to check up on the two most important people to her : her husband and her daughter; She reached into her bag for her phone but to her ultimate dissapointment, she remembered she had left it at home. "So mama blessing, how much last you wan' sell this opkporoko for me." she asked wanting to close her deal quickly so she can get back home to check up on her people. "madam I don tell you before " the trader replied "na 600 naira we they sell am" "but e too much for that amount na. No be this four fish wey I dey see for my front so, na 400 e be na" "hia!" the trader exclaimed "but madam you self no say na change period we dey na, dollar don high everything don cost." she explained "so how dollar come take affect opkoroko fish?" Mrs Ossai argued and after a few more trading exchanges between the trader and Mrs Ossai she finally succumbed "oya bring 500 make I just give you because of my in-law... That your beautiful daughter Elera" "oya madam put am for nylon make i take am, I still get other things to do abeg" she said, barely withstanding the ever increasing pain on her knee, signifying that the danger was near and worse, it was imminent.
Nothing is going to happen to my family she thought to herself, as she briskly walked home, Which was all she could do not to run.

Finally reaching home, she dumped her bag at the entrance of the house, then rushed upstairs to where she left her phone charging. Picking it up, she quickly speed dialed her daughter's number. It rang for a while and then finally "hello mummy" "my baby where you dey?" Mrs Ossai asked as she breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of her daughter's voice. "still at the Mr Ade's café, I figured that since his house was destroyed, the next place Jason would come to when he returns is here. He loved this place, it was like his second home." still talking about Jason, Mrs Ossai thought irritatingly; She was never in support of their relationship but since her daughter loved him regardless and her husband approved, there was little she could do. "Look dear, it's been a month since his disappearance, and through the month you've done nothing more than searched for him fruitlessly, maybe.." she faltered then continued "Honey. ... Maybe you should prepare yourself for the worst." "mom don't talk like that, I refuse to accept he is dead" "you saw the condition of his house, that Morning after we found out about his disappearance. And what his landlord described had happened. He told us armed men came to kill him, perhaps we never really knew him, perhaps he was involved with bad people. And they took him" she said trying to make her daughter Elera accept reality and move on. For She knew Jason wouldn't just leave her daughter, Mrs Ossai knew he loved Elera a lot. She knew the only reason Jason would be absent for so long was that if something had happened to him. "anyway, I want you to come home as soon as possible and if anything happens, anything at all, call me" "why, is something wrong?" Elera asked from the other end of the line, Noting the tension in her mother's voice. "no, why would you ask that?" "I don't know, you sound a little tense" "Baby just get here as soon as you can okay? " "hmm okay, on my way" "thanks" and with that Mrs Ossai ended the call, then speed dialed her husband's number. "Eunice wetin" her husband said from the other end as the call went through. "trouble, supernatural trouble, come home now!!!" she said briefly as the pain began to fire through her knee at an almost unbearable intensity. The danger, its very close! She thought as she limped to the far side of her bedroom wall and touched it once. A mystic circle appeared on it and then the wall parted to reveal a smaller room about half the size of her bedroom and containing : A white traditional attire that hung on the wall, a mirror opposite her, resting on a small cupboard and a basin of water right in the center of the room. Mrs Ossai limped into the room, trying as best as she could to ignore the searing pain on her knee and walked over to the basin in the center. Chanting some incantations, she scooped a handful of water and wiped her face with it. Then stripping completely naked she walked over to the white traditional attire on the wall, pulled it from it's hanging and wore it. After that, still mumbling incoherent incantations as she moved about, she went over to the cupboard and pulling out the first drawer, she brought out the flat clay box that was inside then opened it. Inside of it was was an oriental traditional make up tool kit and two metal bracelets with little carvings etched on it. Starting with the make up tool kit, she began to draw intricate lines and patterns over her face, all of which connected to the closed big eye she drew lastly on her forehead. Reaching inside the box again she pulled out the two metal bracelets and wore them on her wrist, next she started arranging an array of local red and black beads on her neck, waist and barefooted ankles. Then finally when she was done she stood up to examine herself in front of the big mirror, though she was in her late forties; through sorcery she was able to make herself look 10 years younger. Satisfied that the was fully prepared and not lacking anything she might need she walked out of the room, straight down the stairs and then finally went outside to confront the danger. Whatever it was.

ashatoda:
guy are you human at all?

KingZero:
this is an amazing read. I have been captivated from the first words. this is beyond what words can describe.

I however like to imagine what I read and sometimes Junior sounds like a white kid and I am not too sure where Durza is from or prophet Ezekiel. maybe a little more injection of the culture of the characters into their dialogues perhaps like you did with Oniel who was speaking pidgin at some point. It is an amazing read and you are doing great

Abeg nor vex oh for the "criticism"

2017 is your year man.

no vex ke... criticism is always welcomed. thanks

MightyFortress:
This guy is good...

thanks

And much to my displeasure i suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my chest, it felt like, my heart was being ripped off my chest and to my horror, it truly was. it burst through my body and floated to the hand of king Anak, I slowly began to wither, for my heart was the center of my immortality, then the king touched me and I felt normal again. Explaining his actions, he said "although you were honest with me during our discussion. I still don't trust you. It will help us maintain communication with you, through our different timelines. know that your life is in my hands and if you fail, you die too. Now Farewell, Al Durza Kareem, You have until the flood comes to take us. I wish you success" and with horror filling the hollow of my heart, I twisted the rune and willed it to take me back to my time, and this time, it did as I willed, I came back the very same night I left. And immediately I got to work. The scroll contained a lot of illuminating knowledge. In ten years I was able to complete project winged Humans but because some of the tools needed for the portal where thousands of years ahead of our modern day technology, I had to make the materials myself, causing delay in the completion of the portal. But now it is almost ready" Durza announced proudly as he concluded his story. " I don't get it" said Vincent" "if the giants enslaved humans and destroyed the world, why are you helping them? " Vincent asked. "I helping them because, they have my heart, the center of my immortality, I'm slowly dying." Durza plainly stated. Then Vincent asked again "so what's your true plan, for surely you don't intend to doom yourself with the human populace?" "of course not! I hate all Nephilims both the new generation and the giants" Durza replied then continued "after we bring them through, and I have my heart back, we will use the portal to leave this timeline, and go to a timeline where the world's resources were still untapped, then we would use the knowledge I obtained from them to build a world in our own image!" Durza proclaimed, with his arms outstretched and his eyes gazing up to the roof as if he could already see a picture of the world he talked about. "we would live as gods and the people would worship us!" then turning to Vincent he asked "So tell me son, are you in this with me?" and Vincent replied "Do I have a choice?" "no" "Then am in" "good now all we need is to get the time rune, which is the power source for the portal" "how do we get it, the prophet has been elusive" Vincent asked as they walked out of the room and back to the abandoned hall where Durza worked on the device that would enable Vincent talk physically. As they reached the work table he picked up the device that looked like a mouth mask and pointing his hands towards it, he started to chant some spells. By the time he finished, a mystic circle immediately appeared on top the device and as soon as it came, it disappeared. " This should do" Durza said still examining the mouth mask, giving it to Vincent he said "put it on" and as Vincent did, the mask immediately latched on to his mouth and tightened itself. "try and speak" Durza urged and when Vincent did, his voice came out. It sounded like he was speaking through an electronic speaker, but he could talk, and Vincent couldn't contain his excitement about it.
"The mask doesn't just contains the hypersonic waves that emanates from your mouth when you talk, it also distributes them all over your body. Which in other words mean, that you can fire them from any part of your body. This greatly limits your devastating power, but in case you ever need your full power in battle, all you have to do is take off the mask." Durza explained, testing his powers Vincent pointed at The wall to his left with his fist then opened his palms towards it, and as he did that... Hyper sonic waves, emanated from his palms and blasted the wall open, flattening everything between him and the wall. "I can direct the waves? Cool! So how do we get the stone, do I go after the Nephilim?" Vincent asked and Durza replied "No, I'm tired of chasing the fool all over the country, it's time he came to us" "how" "why it's simple, all you have to do, is go to a little town , and bring me a certain pretty girl." then giving him a finger ring he said, "here, this will take you to your destination and back." Putting the ring on, Vincent traced the air in a circle with his ringed finger, a mystic circle appeared in front him and he stepped through.

Somewhere in the center point of a crossed road a mystic circle appeared on the ground and Vincent, flanked by two men, emerged from it. The spirit brothers Okiki dressed in all red and his twin brother Ojiji dressed in all black; both half men, half spirits, Were his back up. Durza had told him that he would need some for what he was about to do. Taking in the scenery of the vicinity he had arrived, he saw a group of guys hurdled over a small shop, with a sign that read "Bet9ja" emblazoned on it. He saw two women quarreling with another man that seemed to be pleading with them in front of what looked like a brothel. A Group of school kids snickered and pointed at him as they passed by, some of the people in the vicinity also puased for a few seconds to glance at him then continued on their way. Vincent guessed a white boy wearing a weird mouth mask in a rural African settlement was something they don't see every day. He crossed over to the other side of the street and stopped in front of a huge black gate that connected two parts of an unplastered fence which concealed most part of the unpainted bungalow house within it.
He pushed the gate, but it didn't budge.... It was locked. Taking a step back. He looked at one of the spirit brothers, the one in all black then ordered " open the gate" and without a reply Ojiji the brother in black, struck the gate open with such force that it sent both parts of the black gate flying into the compound, with one of them impaling it's self on the wall. As Vincent walked in with his spirit companions, ignoring the weird word "Olè! Olè! Olé!" that he heard the towns people shouting behind him, he looked up ahead and what he saw stopped him dead in his tracks.

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER : VINCENT VS MRS OSSAI

Dread washed over me upon those words, filled to the brim with questions and convolutions I asked "so why the flood, the creator should know that you were well on your way to destruction, why bother with the flood?" and the king answered "the flood has come into play because, I think he does not want the earth obliterated, he intends to fix the damage done to the world. The flood wouldn't just kill us, it would repair everything that was broken." "how come you know all this" Rapha asked king Anak and he explained "I believe the water that is coming to cover the surface of the world, is no ordinary water. " "why are you telling me all this I know your people didn't want you to." I asked, as the last of the rumbling died down and the king replied "I have told you all this because, you Al Durza, are going to be our salvation!" "I don't understand, what can I, a mere human do to stop any of this." I asked king Anak, "the time rune," he replied, we have searched for it for thousands of years... Without success. It is no Coincidence that you appear to us now, in possession of it. you will use it to help us or you will be trapped here to die with us" "hell is a realm out of time, and trust me. You don't want to go to your master and tell him, you failed. From personal experience, I can tell you that he doesn't tolerate failure." " I have no master, what are you talking about ?" I Asked outwardly, feigning ignorance but inwardly I was asking myself How he knew. "cut the pretense!"
the king said,
"Nothing can be kept secret before my eyes. I knew who you were the moment I laid eyes on you, I know why you came, I know you got here by accident, you were originally targeting another timeline. I knew all this even before you told us that you were from the future and I know you work for the fallen. Our fathers and blood enemies"
the king revealed.
"then why have kept me alive, why bother with all the questions and interrogations"
I asked in curiosity believing I was near my death now that he's revealed his truth to me and he replied,
"though this eyes of mine can see all things, it can't see the heart of man, I wanted to know if you could be trusted, your level of honesty was to determine that. So here is the deal, agree to save us from annihilation and we will teach you the unraveled mysteries of the soul"
"how can I do that?" I asked "the time stone" "it doesn't work that way, the rune only transports its bearer through time no third party." "you're wrong" the king disagreed, "that is only but one use, of the thousand uses for that stone. With the time rune as it power source, you can build a portal that is capable of transferring third parties through time" "how?" I asked in marvel of the kings knowledge "Rapha, the scroll" he said and Rapha stepped forward then gave him a white, papyrus scroll. The giant king collected it then inturn handed the scroll to me saying,
"in here contains the unraveled secrets of the human soul and the design for the portal you are to build. it contains all the answers you want. Now you must go. And Remember you work for the fallen, But know that ultimately you work for me." The king said as the rumbling began again. "I'll keep that in mind" I said.
As I happily activated the time rune that I had already brought out, thinking to myself that once I leave, I'd forget about the gaints, The king said to me :
"And one last thing",

He's building something and until now I had thought it was some kind of bunker to shield him and his family from the disaster that is about to befall the earth." "my lord!" the giant Rapha interrupted, "he is not one of us, he is not suppose to know" seeing the other giants nodding in agreement, I turned to the king and asked "know what? The flood? I I'm from the future, I already know about the flood" king Anak turning to face me, asked "no not the flood, but tell me more about this flood you speak of" "yes, " I replied reluctantly a bit irritated by the way the king had avoided my question with his request . "According to historical records you were all wiped out by a great storm, this storm will trigger a world wide flood that will engulf the entire planet killing every living thing on the planet... Except for anything within Noah's ark, non will escape, non will survive" after I finished talking, king Anak stood quiet for a while then he said "so this is the creator's plan, to kill two birds with one stone..."


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A distant explosion thundered, all of sudden. The explosion sounded like it was coming from somewhere far off, but it was powerful enough to rock the entire throne room were we were... "what was that?" I asked, in panic "the flood can't be coming on now" I said as I picked up the binoculars and looked towards the eastern forest, "Noah's ark is no where near complete!" "the explosion you heard was not the flood, it was something else" the king said calmly as he turned to another giant and asked, "where?" "Atlantis" the giant replied
"the golden city in the south; never imagined it would be the first to go" the king said with a pained expression on his face. "Atlantis? It's real? It's here? What the hell is going on, where did it go to?" I asked in surprise "pull up the live feed" the king ordered and suddenly a giant screen monitor emerged from the ground and showing on it, was the ocean on fire while a city sunk beneath it amidst the dying wails of the occupants of the city. I watched in horror as more fire erupted from below the ocean and splattered on the survivors. In a matter of minutes, an entire city was gone, and a roaring fire that continued to burn relentlessly over the ocean replaced it. "What happened?" I asked and the king replied "we dug too deep, exhausted the resources of the world and destabilised the earth's core. And now reckoning has begun"
There was another boom that sounded afar off and the scene on the monitor changed again. This time showing another city. Completely freezing over.
"The geomagnetic pole of the north had just shifted. More cities in the north would be freezed over in a matter of minutes." A giant announced.
The scene on the monitor changed again and I watched as another city was completely incinerated by an outrageous, amount of concentrated sunlight.
"the magnetic field generated by the earth's core that protected the earth from direct sunlight have just been disabled, and as a result we just lost all the cities around the equator." the giant, monitoring what was going on announced.
Then all of a sudden he stopped talking and then whispered to himself, "oh no!" "what now Gonor?" the king asked in exasperation. And Gonor replied "we just lost the earth's gravitational functionality in the west" he waved his hand over the big monitor and the scene changed to a view of another city. This one was made of crystals. I watched first of all as things began to fly upward into space. Then I heard screaming and flailing as they flew upwards and I realised some of those things were humans. All of a sudden the entire city took to the air and Floated into space, buildings, land and all, never to be seen again. Turning around to face him I asked king Anak "all this devastation because you exhausted the earth's resources?" "yes" he replied then continued "and this is only the beginning. As I speak to you now, one-third of the earth is gone, and it's only a matter of time before the inevitable happens" "and what would that be?" I ask already knowing what the answer was and the king replied "the earth, exploding into oblivion"

CHAPTER 22 : THE OLD WORLD, PART II


"It was a magnificent place."
Durza described, then continued "At first I thought I was in another world, because my eyes could not believe the marvels I saw, flying vehicular contraptions that were thousands of years more advanced than our modern day cars, planes and rockets, filled the sky; Building constructions that are thousands of years more advanced than our sky scrapers, were all over . Technology was at it's peak! And For a sorcerer who taught he had seen all that is to be seen, my mind was blown away by the things I saw there. It was perfect, it was my dream for the world, a place where everything was thousands of years ahead of what we claim to be cutting edge technology now. It didn't take long for my presence to be noticed by the people, and as soon as they did, they arrested me, I tried to fight them off with sorcery but all I did seemed like a mere child's play compared to the level of their sorcery. After my apprehension, they took me to a place and tried to talk to me, but although I could speak all known languages, I didn't understand theirs.



When it seemed like they couldn't decide what to do with me. They took me to another place were I learnt later on was called Eden, their capital city. A city whose beauty and splendour out matches everything else I have seen since I arrived. It was there that I saw one of them for the first time" "one of who?" Vincent asked "The Giants" Durza replied then continued "the first generation of Nephilims. gods walking among men, they looked like humans, dressed like the humans there too, but they were bigger, much bigger, the smallest one I saw was about 30 ft and the biggest of them, their king, Anak was over 60ft.


The one I saw was about 40ft, I watched in awe as he regally strode by, not paying attention to the humans that were bowing to him as he walked passed them. I later found out There was more to them than their size: you could drop ten nuclear warhead on one of them and it wouldn't even make a scratch, their strength was unbelievable, they had inherited the physical attributes of their celestial sires so everything about them was Incomprehensible.

But the truly amazing thing about them wasn't their physical magnanimity, no it wasn't even their advancement in technology. The amazing thing about them was their intellect, their knowledge. They are on a level that make King Solomon in all his wisdom look like a kindergarten student and the humans...." Durza paused, then continued "the humans worshipped them. I was Led to a huge palace that was right at the center of the city of Eden. A palace words could not even begin to describe. Both the exterior and the interior design of the magnificent edifice was out of this world!

I was directly taken to the throne room, where I was presented to King Anak, Lord of the giants and Ruler of the entire old world.

He was an extra ordinarily huge gaint man, all dressed in golden robes and was seated on a majestic huge black throne, surrounded by at least six other giants. The throne room was filled to capacity with humans and a few strange creatures I was unfamiliar with. The king and the human that brought me to him, made a few exchanges in their language before he turned and spoke to me, still not able to comprehend what he said, I replied him in English.... 'I don't understand what you are saying' he nodded and to my surprise, he asked me in English, "who are you and what language is this?" Then I replied "I am Al Durza Kareem, son of Al Nuri Kareem a humble sorcerer, and this is the English language ... Its quite common, where am from" "where are you from, Al Durza Kareem?" "I'm from planet earth, I was experimenting on something and due to a miscalculation of some sort, I have some how wandered into your realm." I explained then continued "Although I have been to so many, I must admit, I am unfamiliar with this realm, can you please tell me where I am ?" and before I could finish my question, an invisible force slammed into me and I was sent flying backwards. "Don't ever question the king." One of the giants that stood behind the giant king said as I struggled to get my balance. "calm yourself Rapha," the king rebuked the giant that had knocked me, then said "for now this man is our guest, I decide what he becomes next." then turning to me he spoke, "Now Al Durza, to answer your question, this is earth, but I see your aura, you are not like one of us, at least not from our earth.... tell me how you came to be here ?" "this, is earth?" I repeated in shock... "the earth I'm from, is nothing close to this." I said "tell us how you have come to this earth." the king asked again, and following my instincts that warned me to be truthful I brought out the round shaped infinity rune, and said "through this" A low murmur, flowed through out the entire throne room as I held it out for the king to see. "where did you get that?" Rapha the giant directly next to the king's right, who the king had earlier rebuked asked. I could sense his agitation, they knew of the stone, I thought to myself and in reply to his question, intuitionally leaving out the part where I was on a mission for the fallen angels, I explained everything I did up until the moment I got there, and immediately I finished, I suddenly realised where I was, and I blurted out, "wait a minute, this is the old world, the world before the flood!" then realizing who they were I looked at them, and said "you're the first generation Nephilims, the giants" "silence!" The giant called Rapha yelled again as another invisible force slammed against me, this time knocking the breath out of me. "we are gods, gods of the world!" he said "Rapha enough!" the king cut in, then turning his attention back to me he asked "you mentioned a flood?" and I replied "yeah, the great flood" I watched as the mood of king Anak changed when I brought up the subject. then in a fit of what I detected as rage, he ordered "Everyone out!" and following his orders everyone in the throne room left, except for the six giants that stood behind him. Guessing everyone didn't include them, I remained calm and waited for what the king's next action would be and after a while, the king stood up from his throne and walked over to the balcony overlooking the east side of the city , "come have a look" he said inviting me to join him and following his words, an invisible force lifted me from the ground and levitated me to his side, he pointed off to the patch of forest far off to the east and said "do you see that?" "the forest?" "no" he said. Waving his hand in the air, a golden contraption that looked like binoculars but as you would have guessed, were thousands of years more advanced than the ones from our time appeared out of nowhere and landed on it then he gave them to me And when I pulled them to my eyes I saw what he was looking at... A man deep within the forest, he was building something. And although it was at its skeletal stage, I already knew who he was and what he was building.... "that man" the king said "is the great grandson of Enoch, my greatest enemy... The only one who opposed me since I gained dominion over the world, and for four generations of the human cycle I have managed to reduce the following of Enoch's bloodline, through slaughter and fear instillation, to just his family. That man over there is Noah and like his great grand father, he speaks to the creator.

Paulscholari:
Yeah really inspiring... Reuel is this the time rune.. Just asking *winks*

what you should picture when I talk about it

In a state of shock, still trying not to believe what he was hearing Vincent asked again "as in, the Nephilim giant king, Anak, that's the one you mean? " "yes" Durza replied.

After a moment of silence, just after the moment of shock had passed... Vincent said in a cool calm and collected voice, "My lord, with all due respect.... I think that's crazy." "Vincent" Durza called with a stern voice, then continued " I acknowledged the respect you accorded me.... And the truth is if you weren't like a son to me, I would have have reduced you to ash for questioning my sanity, but instead, I ask you to remain calm and let me explain" and as Durza said those words, a sudden calmness flushed over Vincent. He suspected it was a spell but he took a sit and ask Durza to explain. And he began " all this started 20 years ago, I was at my wits end with project winged humans... I was no closer to hacking the human soul, than I was 2000 years ago when I started it, I had researched all the meta physical knowledge both spiritually and physically known to man, but none were of any help, I didn't know what else to do. I was about to give up, when an idea struck me, if I can't get anything in the mystic world that can help me, why not go and directly ask the one man who truly knew all about the mystics, the wisest man that ever lived... King Solomon of Israel." "how were you going to do that?" Vincent asked and Durza replied, "I was gonna use the time rune to travel back to his time" "wait!" Vincent cut him off, then asked "you had the Time stone with you, all the while?" and Durza replied "yes, it had been in my possession for thousands of years, my father stole it from King Solomon, he was a sorcerer to his pagan wives and a close friend of the King himself. When I was a child, we would all seat at his court, especially me in front of his majestic throne made of gold, and we would listen to all the words of wisdom that came from his mouth, I never let any of his words fall to the ground, I took in everthing, it was my desire to be like him, To surpass his wisdom was my greatest ambition and it was what drove me deep and deep into the mysteries until I got to where I was at that point in time... And yet still, I was a far cry away from him. When he died and his son Rehoboam who wasn't nearly one fifth of the man his father was took over the kingdom, he led the people to civil war and in the process ultimately caused the division of the kingdom into two. it was during the chaos that my father and I made our way to the vault of Solomon, and with him being one of his closest Friends and knowing all of his secrets, he took with ease, ignoring all the gold we saw there, the only treasure he deemed worth taking, the Time infinity rune. At that time I didn't know what it was for, or how the wise king had gotten it in the first place. My father could never get it to work. When he died, he told me its value and handed it over to me but I could not get it to work either. so i kept it away until that night. After. spending 10 years researching the rune, i finally learnt how to use it to flow through time.
When I was ready, i applied all that was needed to activate it and when I did, I willed it to take me back in time. But due to my lack of full understanding, I was unable to control it's motion, and it accidentally tossed me far back in time... past the Time of Solomon, past the timeline of Egypt, straight to the time of Noah; before the flood. The rune took me to the OLD WORLD!.

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER : THE OLD WORLD, PART II

Meanwhile, 24 hours earlier....
Vincent sat at the edge of the open cavernous abandoned building were they were based, chewing burger, and watching Durza thinker with his almost completed new device. This device he worked was meant for Vincent, it was a device durza was developing for him that would enable him talk without flattening anything around him, not unless he wanted to. Durza other than being a sorcerer was an outstanding engineer, it was rumored among the demons and spirits he worked with, that he taught Leonardo DaVinci the famous Italian Polymath, all he knew about engineering. After Durza got back from the hospital three days ago he was very pissed. When Vincent asked what had happened through the mind link established between them, he had told him that the demon that was assigned to stall the prophet till his arrival failed and that it was time for plan B "what's plan B" Vincent had asked and he replied " plan B is an assignment for you, But first in other to carry out this assignment you need your ability to speak, but since your disability is connected with your powers, you need something more than a little spell to make you talk out loud, so am going to build you a device that with the help of a little sorcery, will help you talk." and for three days he had been working on it non stop... And today he looked like he would be completing it soon.

"So, once we get this magic stone from the prophet or the Nephilim, whoever the hell has it, what's next?" a bored Vincent asked. "evolution, A new beginning, a better world." "the fallen, are going to bring this with them?" "the fallen? No boy, I no longer serve them" "what are you talking about?" Vincent asked a bit uncomfortable with his proclamation "relax Vincent, you're safe... There's nothing to worry about" "are you serious, what do you mean by there's nothing to worry about, if the fallen found out--" "I imagine they would be sour, mad even, but that is just about the most they can do about it. As long as they remain chained up in hell's fire, they can do nothing..." "so who then do you serve, coz I do see you communicate with someone you call master, through the communication mystic circle." Vincent said and Durza answered "A higher purpose, I'm going to fix the world, Vincent... I will be called it's savior." "seriously... what are you going on about, Durza." Vincent asked. Durza stopped what he was doing and then looked at him. "I suppose it's time for you know everything... Come with me." Durza said, leaving the device he was working on, which through sorcerery continued to work on itself even after he had stopped left it, beckoned for Vincent to follow him.

Vincent followed Durza to the edge of a flat wall, he touched a random spot and a red mystic circle appeared with something that looked like alien language written within it. The characters in the language ran downward like a computer's binary language for a few seconds then stopped and four larger characters appeared on the center of the circle. And after Durza touched them one by one, the wall split apart to reveal another huge chamber workshop connecting the workshop Hall that they stood in. "what is the place?" Vincent asked in surprise. "it's where I work on my secret project" Durza said pointing at a giant ring of metal so large that the tallest sky scraper in the world could have pass through horizontally with relative ease, standing erect at the center of chamber. "what is that ?" Vincent asked again and Durza replied "A portal" "I've seen you travel to other realms and dimensions as easy as walking from one street to another, where do you need this big ass portal like this to travel to?" "not where, slow one, it is more of a when" "that's a time portal?" "yes, I'm going to fix humanity" "What can you possibly change to fix humanity, World War II, conquest of Rome , Genghis Khan or Adam and eve?" Vincent asked. "none of the above, I intend to use the time portal to bring him here" "who?" Vincent asked curiously and Durza announced in reply "my true master, Giant King Anak!".

Jason laughed then said, "you can see visions at will? When it is convenient for you to deceive a poor innocent soul, you tell them you have a vision?" "no, " the prophet replied, then continued "a prophet can't control his visions, I saw this one the moment we came here, but I didn't want to tell you, because I needed you to be focused on the task at hand." seeing the seriousness on the Prophet's face Jason urged the prophet to talk, "humor me" he said "what have you seen for me" and straight forwardly the prophet said "I'm seeing you lose someone you love" Jason chuckled then said "I've lost loved ones before, we all love and lose the ones we love over time, that's not a prophecy, that's life." "then foolish boy" the prophet chatised and continued "how about this for a prophecy, I see you loose one now." As Jason who was walking away from him turned back to ask what he meant by that, another voice called from behind him "Jason!" he turned to see who called and to his shock he saw Mrs Ossai standing behind him.


"Mrs Ossai" Jason yelled, Barely recognising the woman covered in blood and bruises he was looking at. "what happened?" Jason asked and as she made an effort to reply, blood spilled out of her mouth, and then she collapsed to one knee. Jason ran up to her to pull her up, but as he made to grab her, his hand passed through her body, as if it was not there and as Jason watched in confusion, he saw her Flickr like she was some kind of those faulty futuristic hologram, he saw, in the movies he watched. "What's going on," Jason asked to no one in particular but the prophet replied, "she's not really here, it's an astral projection of her, but it's weak" then all of a sudden, she grab Jason's shirt but her hands slipped through, then she opened her eyes, it was wide, bloodshot and frantic, she looked like she was about to loose her mind, and she said "it's Elera, help"

Taking a deep breathe the Man began " my name is Prophet Ezekiel and this all started about four years ago, I was in a vision and I saw the world end. It was devastating... Cities were being consumed, people were dying by the thousands and the oceans was on fire. It was chaos the likes of which the world had never seen before, and in the center of it all stood this man Durza, he is a renown sorcerer in the mystic world and an agent of the fallen Angels." "fallen angels? I thought I was done with all this mystical stuff, I want nothing to do with it. How does this all even concern me" Jason asked and the prophet replied "I may have been guilty for that." "How?" "In my dream, this man Durza held something in his hands. Something of infinite power...: The time rune." "the what now?" "the Time rune, one of the five infinity runes of power scattered all over the universe." "what are infinity runes?" "infinity runes are artifacts of power that represents the building blocks of existence which are energy, reality, mind, space and time" "I still don't get the big deal about these runes" "in simpler terms you would understand, just imagine, if Time, space, reality and the rest were like TVs, then their runes are like their remote control." "really?" "yes, so if for example one were to be able to come in possession of the time infinity rune, then that person if he knew how to use it would have absolute control of time." He said then continued "when I woke up from That vision, I prayed earnestly for away to avert what I had seen, and it was revealed to me that if I can stop or keep Durza from using the Time stone, what I had seen in the vision would not come to pass." as he completed his sentence, Jason immediately burst into a feat of laughter "haha haha haha haha, so let me get this straight, all this was because you had a dream. My life is in danger because of your dream?!" Jason Asked with anger rising inside of him. "it wasn't just a dream, it was a vision. I'm a prophet of the Lord, whatever vision we have, unless we are able to avert or counter it always comes to pass. Our duty is to protect, defend and serve humanity, the visions are our way of doing it. We see an impending doom, we try to stop it and if we can't, we warn the people to prepare for it." "were do I come in, in all of this ...?" Jason asked and the prophet replied "after the vision and the revelation, as is my duty as a prophet I set out to search for Durza. Finding him didn't take long, but I discovered to my horror that Durza already had in his possession the time rune. Something that was believed to have been lost to the universe since creation. So in an effort to avert my vision, I stole from him with great difficulty and a lot of sacrifice, the Time rune. Having no time to move around with such a powerful object, I sort of hid it. For three years since then, Durza hunted me, I lost my wife, and my only daughter trying to keep away the location of where I had hid the rune from him. But when I realized he was getting closer, And that it was only a matter of time before he caught up with me, I came up with a contingency plan to make sure that no matter what happens, the sorcerer would never get his hands on the location of the hidden infinity rune." "what did you do?" Jason asked and the prophet replied, "I removed the memory of myself hiding it, completely from my mind and I put it somewhere else, somewhere I thought would be too insignificant for him to consider, and even if he did, he would have trouble getting it." "and where's that?" Jason who was afraid of what he thought was the answer asked. "your mind" the prophet said "What!" a shocked Jason exclaimed, "why me.... Of anybody else that you could have sucked into your problem. Why me?! The one who least wanted this!" and the prophet replied "I chose you because of that night, the night when we first met, when I freed you from your amnesia spirit. I saw your mind and how it was very strong. It took a whole possession to do what normally a simple spell would have done, and that was to take your memories." "did this Durza you speak of do that? Did he cause my amnesia ?" "no, I don't think so, every sorcerer have a unique imprint in their spell or sorcery, and this was not his" the prophet replied then further said "what I still can't explain though, is how they could have known you were the key to the location of the time rune." then Jason replied, suddenly realising how "I think that knowledge might have been found out by him when he came to my dreams." "He was in your dreams? When?" the shocked prophet asked "that night the snake demon attacked, just before the attack, he asked about your whereabouts, he told me he was tracing every one you have been in contact with, he said I was hard to find, and then he branded me on my chest with his hand and then I woke up." Jason told him. " the brand was a tracking spell, I burned it off you that night at the woods factory, I always wondered how you got it. He must have sniffed through your mind and saw the memory of me, putting my memory in your mind." the prophet deducted. "how come, I don't automatically know the location of the place where you hid this Time rune. And how come he didn't just grabbed it From my mind right away" Jason asked still skeptical about the whole story and the prophet replied," That memory is hidden in a place where even you can only remember after years of focused and intense mind training: the zero zone, it's were all your baby memories are, no one remembers anything from infancy, no external force can go there while you live, This is why Durza sent the serpent king after you, if he had ate your soul, everything about you, including that memory would have been available to him." "how did you get it there then, without killing me?" " I simply planted it in your mind as one of your own baby memories and it guided itself there to the zero zone, there's no way I can get it out even if I wanted to" the prophet said concluding his narrative. Jason sat down for awhile, after giving much thought to all he had been told, riddled with questions and frustration he busted, "this, this is all bullshit! your story is a load rubbish!" the prophet surprised at Jason's outburst asked "what are you talking about, half of the things we've discussed happened before your very eyes... " "yes and all because you dreamt the world was gonna end, my life was ruined again, because some random stranger had a dream about the end of the world, what gives you the right to walk into my life and Bleep it up as you please, simply because you had a nightmare!" Jason roared as he felt is anger began to rise... Then the prophet said "my visions aren't mere dreams, they come true" and Jason replied "so you're saying that your visions always come to pass. they never fail?" Jason asked "No, but they can be averted if quick and right actions are taken."the prophet explained. "tell me, why the Bleep should I believe a word coming out of your mouth?" Jason asked and the prophet taking a deep breathe replied "because I have a vision for you."

n the prophet spoke with his hand still on Jason's head "Who are you?" Jason replied, with a voice that wasn't his "amnesium, the spirit of memory loss" the prophet questioned further"who sent you?". "I cannot say ". " what do you want with him? " " he is a part of the plan""what plan?" "I cannot say" then the prophet ordered, "this boy does not belong to you, I command you spirit to leave his body" "is that right" the spirit said then continued "you know nothing Ezekiel" "fine" the prophet decided..."Don't say I didn't ask nicely" He held Jason's head firmly then looked him straight in the eyes, Jason felt a warm sensation all over his body and moments later the prophet was standing face to face with the spirit amnesium inside Jason's mind. He stretched his hand at him and said "begone!" as pure white energy burst from his hands and engulfed the spirit incinerating him, coming back from Jason's mind and into himself he said to everyone "it's done". Jason fell backwards into a deep sleep ."when

CHAPTER TWENTY ONE : THE OLD WORLD.
Jason was having a nightmare about a snake like creature trying to kill him, when the loud blaring of a trailer that was driving by, woke him up. All his body ached him, he was being driven through where he recognized as the town of Ikea, his home town. "Thank God, you're awake... You've been asleep for two days straight" the man driving him said when he saw Jason. He was about to ask the man what happened when everything that had happened to him since he made the rains fall to end the drought ravaging his town, came flooding through his head, he remembered getting sliced open by the snake demon and then blacking out. "I died... " Jason said confused "no you almost did" the Man corrected "had I gotten to you seconds later then you really would have died" "Jason raised his eyebrows to look at him then with shocking realisation he said "that voice? You were the one that called me!" "yes, I was trying to warn you about the attack of that night but it was ultimately too late" "who are you? why are we here? what was I doing in that hospital? why are you helping me? and more importantly why am I being targeted?" "calm down, Jason... One question at a time. I will explain everything once we get to our destination" "which is where?" "your house, it's the last place they would think to look for you." the man explained as they drove. A few minutes later they got to Jason's compound, what was left of it, for the building was cracked all over and where Jason's door to his apartment should have been stood a gaping hole where the snakish beast had blasted through, the night it attacked.


Jason watched as the man walked, muttering under his breath, around the house. He could have sworn that he saw faint blue lights come out of the man's mouth as he talked. When he was done he walked over to Jason and sat in front of him then said "protective and warding prayers, no demon can get through the shield and no one will see or know that we are here." "good" said Jason " now start talking"

The demon Osha busted out in a fit of hysterical laughter, in jubilation of his victory against the prophet. But his laughter of victory soon turned into a moan of confusion. For as he watched the smoke slowly clear off, he saw the prophet standing in the middle of it, unhurt, almost as if nothing had happened at all. "What is this ?" the demon asked "why are you not blasted to oblivion?" and the prophet replied "you are one that miscalculated osha, you are not god here... I Am" he said then waving his hand past all the three oshas that surrounded him, willing chains to come out of the ground where they stood and bound them firmly to a huge stone glowing red hot and tighter Around them he proceeded to explain ."you are in my Penance Stare, One of the three secret abilities of a prophet... here, in the possessed's mind, I control all, I can do what I want, to whom I want, wherever I want, what ever happens to you here affects your original manifestation and the best part of it is, no matter how long we spend in here, in the physical world, it will all have happened in a second." stretching his hands towards the doctor's memories he started erasing every memory of the demon from the doctor's mind. after severing the connection between the demon and the doctor, he pushed the demon out of the doctor, who came out in a swirling mass of thick black smoke through his mouth, throwing the now free doctor in a fit of coughing and spluttering. Then the prophet returned to his own body. All the while still maintaining his psychic hold on the demon. Stretching one hand towards the demon who was a swirling mass of black smoke in the physical world, the prophet used his hand to trace the air in a rotatating motion muttering a prayer in tongues until a portal to a fiery abyss was before him, and with a slight hand gesture he willed the demon to go through and it did then the prophet closed the portal on the demon who raged and screamed all the way through. After everything the prophet dropped to the floor next to the doctor in exhaustion, although he did not show it through out the encounter... But Invoking the Penance Stare took quite a lot out of him. It always did. The doctor turned to him, and said "zeke am sorry, you warned me about this things, I was careless." "no, you couldn't have done anything against osha" "the things he made me do, that poor nurse, I ate her heart!" he exclaimed as he broke into tears then Ezekiel said to him "no you didn't, the demon did, and don't worry I severed every connection between you and him, in a matter of minutes you will forget everything about the demon, it would be as if nothing ever happened." The prophet watched as color returned to the doctors skin and his hair change back from white to black then the office telephone rang. He looked at Ezekiel and the prophet nodded back at him in assurance, then reluctantly he picked up the telephone and placed it on loud speaker, "yes" "sir it's bisi at reception, you told me to notify you if a Mr Durza comes to ask for you" dread fell on both Ezekiel's face and the doctor's after the receptionist had said that then reluctantly he asked, "is he here? " "yes, sir" the receptionist replied then continued "and he is on his way up now sir" hanging up in frustration he turned to Ezekiel and said.. . "you have to go, take the boy... You have to leave right now" "what about you? I can't just leave you, here with him, he will kill you in frustration. I just saved your life from a demon, I can't let you die at the hands of a sorcerer!" "can you guarantee that you will defeat this sorcerer if you engage him in battle?" the doctor asked "I'll do whatever I can" Ezekiel the prophet replied "look at you, you can barely walk, my Friend and besides my life is a small price to pay for the millions that will be lost if they get what they want from that boy." "wait!" , Ezekiel said with a start "you know what they are planning?" "yes, and its horrible. You must do what you can to prevent the world as we know it from ending" "what are they planning? What is Durza planning? I know it has something to do with the time rune I stole from him but I don't know what it is exactly, Tell me please ?" Ezekiel pleaded in desperation and the doctor replied "I -i-i can't remember" "what?!" Ezekiel exclaimed then he realized what was happening, "the memory wipe" he said "they are taking effect" "the what?" "there's no time, come with me, everyone else is safe he won't hurt them unless they got in his way. And you have already gotten into his way. I'm not at my best, I can't efficiently protect you from him if you stay." "I don't need you to protect me, I need you to get that boy as far away from- from - I can't remember his name. Just get him away from the evil guy that's coming upstairs. I might not remember whats about to happen to the world but I know that if what am doing right now might in any way stop it. I'm happy to do it. Consider it full payment for curing my wife's cancer. Now go before I change my mind old friend... And Tell my kids I died saving the world." So with tears in his eyes Ezekiel ran back to Jason's room just as Durza was coming up, he turned back to see what was happening and watched as Durza met with the doctor who bowed low to one knee before him saying, "welcome master... " smartEzekiel thought, pretending to still be possessed and Durza asked "where is the boy and the Prophet?" and the doctor replied "right this way sir, they hadn't suspected a thing" "good work, osha... You have out done yourself " Durza commended as he followed the doctor to the opposite direction of where Jason's room was and about fifteen seconds later Ezekiel heard the doctor give a cry of agony as a dark green light reflected off the corridor. Switching to spirit vision, to see what was happening to his friend, anguish flooded his heart as he watched the doctor wither rapidly away at Durza's feet until nothing but his bones was left. The sorcerer must have saw through his trick, the prophet guessed. Stiffening his tears, he ran back to Jason's room. Upon arrival he was glad to see that Jason was awake and was sitted up. "we have to leave now!" he told him. "what, no" Jason replied then continued "what's going on? who are you? Where am I ?" " I'm prophet Ezekiel and I promise to answer all your questions" Ezekiel said as the whole hospital started rumbling "but right now we have to leave." and with that he touched him and they disappeared.

TO BE CONTINUED IN THE NEXT CHAPTER : THE OLD WORLD

As he approached the door he pointed at it, and it flew open to reveal a wide room, covered in every nook and cranny by roaches and behind the desk Sat his friend barely recognisable only by the doctors coat he wore and the name tag on his upper pocket. The once vibrant and filled with life doctor was now a very thin looking man, which could have been easily mistaken for a mad man if his eyes weren't all black and he wasn't eating what looked like a fresh human heart. His hair had become a tangle of white wild strands as opposed to the normal black hair that it was. His tribal marks drawn all across his face appeared more prominently. And His slightly protruded tummy rumbled as he kept gurgling down chunks of the heart he was eating, raising up his head at the sound of the creaking door, he smiled to reveal crooked teeth that looks as bad as the entire room was smelling, before speaking with a voice that sounded like, two people were talking at the same time.... "Prophet Ezekiel, you've arrived just in time for desert.... Care to join me?" the demon possessed doctor asked. "Osha!" the prophet called and the demon replied "the one and only" then asked "why do you look like you're seeing a ghost?" "I banished you to hell" the prophet said. "the sorcerer brought me back" the spirit explained.... "did you know I searched for the little girl that you drove me out of, when I came back? But I never could find her... Some kind of cloaking prayer I presume?" He said as he munched down the last chunk of bloody meat he was holding. "let me guess, you are behind the Nephilim's sluggish recovery" the prophet asked "yes" the demon replied then continued "extra dimensional poisoning spell, keeps him dead for all intents and purposes and is only revived if the caster Is out of commission" the demon replied. Then the prophet asked again "how long have you been inside the doctor". "from the moment the sorcerer pin pointed your location to be Nigeria. The sorcerer knew this man was your only friend here in Nigeria and you would contact him sooner or later. And in case you were wondering why you didn't see through my meat suit, I would like to let you know that you couldn't have... The sorcerer himself used a state of the art cloaking spell that even your eyes which sees through all can't detect, if I wasn't so sloppy and let myself get carried away eating this delicious meal you still wouldn't have figured it out." "why didn't you kill us the moment I brought him in" "would have loved to, but my orders were to keep you here until the sorcerer comes... He wants you alive." The demon said "so you know about the boy?" the prophet asked "we do" the demon possessed Doctor answered then continued "smart move using him like that , your only mistake was underestimating the shadow sorcerer".

The prophet who was now alarmed with what the demon had disclosed thought to himself, Now that it had become this dire, he had no time to waste. "underestimating my the enemy, is a mistake, I'd never make again!" he said as he stretched his hands towards the demon and prayed "I'm addressing the entity inside you Doctor Goke Ogunmola, Hear the words of prophet Ezekiel, you're not of this world... And by the authority vested in me by the creator, I order you... be gone!" and following the last two sentences, the demon abruptly turned towards the prophet and shrieked loudly.... "not again!" he said as he covered the distance between him and the prophet in a single bound. But as he was about to strike him, the prophet who was ready for the demon, shouted in enochian, the language which humans who had heard prophets speaking it, had described as tongues, the word : SHEILD! and following that an almost invisible and impenetrable barrier surrounded him in a split second and the demon slammed right into it, he shouted again in that Same language, the word : REPEL! And as he said it, another force slammed into the demon and blasted him back with such force that its shock wave blew everything including the cockroaches in the room away. The demon smashed into a pile of stacked boxes then rebounded on the prophet and started crawling towards him facing upside up before, exploding into a swarm of bugs so large and numerous that it covered almost everything in the large room and shot for the prophet in an arrow formation. But as they got within a few meters from him, the prophet thinking to himself, time to end this, yelled in that same enochian language: Holy Fire! And fire ignited from the bug at the head of the formation and spread to all the bugs in the room. The fire was so hot that it incinerated some of the roaches and the rest gathered back together reverting the demon back to its human form. "mercy!" he cried as it trashed around still engulfed by the flames, still burning brightly, despite the demons best attempts to put it out. "Time to go back to hell and this time I'm sending you so deep, that even Durza can't reach you. But first I must separate you from your host" "noooooooo!" the demon cried as the prophet began "in the name of the creator, by the authority vested in me by him, And to save this innocent soul from damnation I Invoke .... The Penance Stare!" and following that the prophets eyes began to glow pure white. "pleaaaaase, I promise I will leave and never come back" the demon pleaded but in reply the prophet said "look into my eyes!" and as if entranced the demon obeyed and as he did the prophet projected himself from his body into the mind of the demon possessed doctor and once in, the demon sprung at him from three different directions yelling "you have made a fatal error prophet, you never should have come in to his mind." and pointing all six of his arms towards Ezekiel he yelled again "Here I am god!" then fired a huge ball of dark energy toward him. From all the three copies of him that surrounded the prophet. And all three balls of dark energy smashed into the prophet causing a monumental explosion.

A little cockroach crawling on Jason's nose. To the ordinary eyes it seemed like an ordinary cockroach but to his eyes : a prophets eyes... He saw it for what it was. An evil spirit, or more accurately, a portion of it doing whatever it is that it was doing to Jason. Ezekiel knew that a much more nastier creature to which the roach belonged to was lurking in a shadow somewhere and killing the bug right now wouldn't do any good. The creature will simply send another, in its place. The best course of action he thought to himself is to some how get the cockroach off Jason without alerting it of his presence.
As he saw the cockroach stick it's antennae up Jason's nose, Ezekiel realized with a start, that It was trying to retrieve an information from Jason while he lay unconscious. In a bid to prevent that from happening, the prophet immediately sprung into action by stretching his hand out towards Jason and after harnessing the telekinetic energy in the atmosphere, he made Jason use his own hand to swat the roach off his face. The cockroach was sent flying straight backwards, bouncing off the wall of the room it landed on his feet and made for the door. It crawled straight out of the room in a rapid movement and turn down the corridor. Good! Ezekiel exclaimed as he came out of hiding and followed the Roach down the hall hoping that it was doing what he expected it to do : and that is run back to its master.


Ezekiel cautiously trailed behind the little cockroach as it crawled it's way down the hospital corridor, he was doing his best to avoid being spotted by it or else it would turn away and he would not be able to find out who or more accurately what had sent it.
Evil spirits are like that, always attaching themselves with the most inconspicuous of natural creatures particularly bugs, so people won't notice them, at least until they have accomplished their mission.


This truly confirms They know about Jason being the key, he told himself Inwardly as he quickened his pace to keep up with the little cockroach that was now moving slightly faster than a normal Roach would.

He traced the roach up a staircase that led to an exit, where once out he, he saw more cockroaches crittering and crawling towards the same direction his own runaway cockroach was . Which confirmed to him that he was on track. Ezekiel followed the bugs up another flight of stairs. Where he also met with a lager group, so plenty that this time he saw them crawling on the walls and the ceiling. "Perfect" he muttered in exasperation as he stood before the door where all the now thousands of roaches that he was seeing were forcing themselves in, through any opening they could find: The door of the office of the director of the hospital.

Getting up from Jason's side he strode to the bathroom. Standing in front of the sink, he placed his right hand below the nozzle of the water pump and then with his left he twisted the knob and as he did he heard water rush through the pipes and then flooded out of the pumps... After washing his hands he scooped some of the water and splashed his face with it to ease the tension he felt. After wiping his face with his hanky, he looked up at his reflection in the mirror hanging above the sink and heaving sigh he whispered to himself... "I didn't ask for this... I didn't want to be a prophet" then traveling down Memory Lane he flashed back to the day he discovered that he had the gift... He was in his junior year at a high school in small town Hawkins, Dallas Texas. He was writing his makeup science test that he missed on its original date due to sudden headaches that he later realized were attacks meant to kill him. He was in his teacher's office when he started feeling dizzy and he slept off. Once asleep.... He found himself in vision were he saw a man wearing a brightly lit robe standing in an open plane with a golden book in his hand, the man beckoned for him to come and Ezekiel trudged along to him, on reaching him the man in the glowing robes gave him a golden book with the words HOLY BIBLE inscribed on the cover and said "Eat." "what?" "Eat!" "am not eating a book" "fine" the man in the glowing robes sighed then touched the Book with his index finger and it turned to a very nicely spiced golden Pizza. Then the man said "now will you eat?" and with a watery mouth Ezekiel grabbed a slice and started chewing. Halfway through the circle of pizza Ezekiel asked "so, who are you?" and the man replied "I'm your teacher, and congratulations by the way on your new appointment" "what appointment?" Ezekiel asked confused "you have been chosen" "for what?" "to be the next prophet!" "next prophet? What happened to the last one?" "he died, about five minutes ago, and you as the next in line for the position, you have been chosen." "next in line? What, does that mean it's Like an inheritance?" "yes, of the spirit" "there are a long list of select individuals that have been shortlisted to inherit the position if an occupant dies or looses his way" the man explained "okay so am not saying I believe you, but just say I do, you should know that there are a thousand prophets in world and appointing me as one is kind of not significant. I think there's a enough already in the world." "on the contrary Ezekiel... Heaven only appoints one prophet for every generation." "that's not possible, there are hundreds of them in the world" " although there are false spiritualist who either serve the dark kingdom or make money off people, there are some genuine ones: The healers, the preachers, the councilors, the helpers, the excorsist are all called by the creator and While there are hundreds of them. there can only be one Prophet. Read your Bible... Joshua succeeded Moses, Elisha, succeeded Elisha, Jeremiah succeeded Isaiah... That's how it has always worked. A prophets duty is to serve as the spiritual head all the other offices of the church established by the creator. And while a prophet is generally a culmination of all the other offices, they are distinguished by one particular characteristic: they are one in spirit with the creator. Their basic duty is to protect humanity from whatever spiritual trouble they may face. They usually do that through prophesies of impending doom but on occasion, they take on the dark forces head on. Ezekiel you have been chosen to occupy a very important position, it might not bring you fame, pleasure and it will for the most part be difficult to maintain... But know that you are doing a great service to humanity, do you accept?" Ezekiel thought for a while, then replied "yes" "good" the glowing man said then extending his hands he told Ezekiel "shake me" and he did, turning into a bright light the man entered into Ezekiel's body and Ezekiel woke up. Ever since then his spiritual eye opened and he began to see things for what they were . He could see humans possessed by demons... He could see spirits that would normally be invisible to the human eyes, it almost drove him mad. At age 21, he started to hear a voice that Ezekiel recognised as the voice of the man from his vision long ago. He thaught him every thing he needed to know about being a prophet, at 28 he could see visions and dream dreams and by 35, He was a full fledged prophet. it took seven years each to master a new stage of his development. And in between those years he had been attacked countless times by agents of the dark kingdom. Flashing back to the present, he said to himself, "my duty is to protect humanity from danger. I will not run from it." turning the water off he strode back into the room and that was when he saw it.

CHAPTER TWENTY : THE PENANCE STARE.


Eight days after He carried a dying Jason from an abandoned woods factory to the hospital, Prophet Ezekiel still wasn't close to reviving him. Although he had managed to stop his life force from completely leaking away from his body, he wasn't able to figure out why his life force isn't sporadically replenishing automatically like it was supposed to. And despite his best efforts to help him speed up Jason's healing process, both physically and spiritually, Jason still wasn't responsive.


As Ezekiel sat beside Jason, he asked himself the question he had asked himself a thousand times Since the serpent king attacked Jason : How did they know? How could they had found out that Jason had the key? He saw their battle through spirit vision... And he had helped Jason as best as he could through the phone call and passing of tips and hints through a high level telepathic link called Kenosis... Which To Jason, Ezekiel knew would've felt like his instincts were talking to him. He had to help he thought to himself. if Sargon had defeated Jason and had collected the information he wanted, all would have been lost.
"Earth to Ezekiel " someone called from the entrance of the room to draw his attention.... The prophet turned to the door and gave a weak smile to a man standing there "Goke, sorry I was lost in thought, I didn't hear you come in." "I can see that, I'm here for his check up, five minutes?" "yes of course, go on right ahead" Ezekiel said. And with that the Doctor walked up to Jason and started his examination. Doctor Goke Ogunmola an old friend of the prophet, is the director of Mercy General, one of the biggest hospitals in Nigeria. The night the prophet brought Jason to him he had put them in one of their private intensive care rooms and ever since, had been personally Taking care of Jason's physical injuries. He never asks about the prophet's business, he just simply did what was asked of him, because ever since his eyes had been opened to the truth of reality after the prophet had healed his wife from a terminal Cancer. He decided that although he would be forever indebted to the prophet, he didn't want to know more about the spiritual, for it conflicted with his knowledge of medicine and science. After a series of physical inspections, IV adjustments and a few injections he announced... "He is in good condition. There is nothing medically keeping him unconscious" "I know doc" Ezekiel said then continued, "problem is, I can't figure out what is keeping him under" "he will be okay Zeke... Just give him time, that is all a coma patient simply needs" "you are right, thank you" "for what? " "for the positive words, taking care of him, letting us stay here, and everything else" "damn Zeke don't mention it, you know I owe you big time man... What you did for my my wife far out weighs all I am doing for you." the doctor told him then after packing his tools he said to him "Am gonna go check on my other patients, but before I go, a word of advice, from a doctor to a prophet?" "yeah?" the prophet said then the doctor continued "less worry; more faith" the prophet laughed as the Doctor turned and left then he returned to his thoughts. Why wouldn't he worry, he thought to himself, he had just played a dangerous gamble with Jason the Nephilim and the world is what was at stake. He couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen if he lost and right now, he was loosing.
