"our religion started thanks to the wings of god that brought the message of god to all of us, he had a special connection to 'him' he saw things no one could see and carried everything on his shoulders" he says uniting his hands "the price was heavy, he was able to see the truth but he lost memories of his life, the life of the man he was, he was in a place he didn't even know but he cared for us and helped us see the truth, he fought and died for us" a tranquil expression on his face.
So it means... That i was not the only one to come here, there was someone else, i have to find out more about him...
"What is the prole?" But for now let him explain, I don't want to say something blasphemous.
"This story is known to everybody, you can later on see it for youself, but there is something that the wings of god told just us to wait for, in the future some of his proles that would carry his mission would come, sent from god to help us in the most difficult moments"
Shiver run through my spine. All this time i thought i was alone, in a world completely separeted from me but there was someone that looked after me.
I smile. Thank you messanger, you thought about me, that was a really smart move.
"Some of the questions and words i said, they were the things he said to say to the prole if we believed it was really the one." He says proudly "and i was right, you really are the prole" he gets up and puts a hand on my shoulder "you don't have to worry, i will help you in the first steps you will have to take"
It's so weird seeing him be nice to me.
"I still have to inform the higher ups and they have still to evaluate if it is really you, but after that you will be able to fulfill your role"
I look him in the eyes "what was his name?"
Bridge William seems suprised but an understanding face appers in his face "he was called Henry Godwin"
Henry Godwin...
"What was the thing you did to me, that made me sick?" My head throbbing, i flinch my eyes and touch my head.
"It is better we stop, i almost forgot you still don't know anything, you cannot take too much information of this level, and for someone like you even just a little is too much, there are ways to help you but you have to rest first"
Always rest, rest, rest, why is this body is so weak.
I get up and go towards the door "about my sister..."
"Don't worry Tomh, i will take care of it, and i will put Mark on watch so that he can help you when needed"
"Thank you" i open the door, Avar waiting outside againts the door, i ignore him and keep walking.
Even if everything is againts me i will not stop, now i have a path to follow thanks to henry, i will get back home, everything it takes.
I go up the stairs ignoring the stares directed at me.
I enter the room and fall on the bed, my consciousness fading.
A vortex engulfs every bit of light and darkness, only the imposing castle with his ten towers like claws trying to cut the sky remain, a pulsating sensation comes from inside, my body is attracted to it, i get near but the bridge to it is broken, i stay there staring at castle.
"You can have everything you want, just come here" a voice from the depths of hell whispers on my ears "just fix the bridge"
"How?" I say half conscious.
The voice laughs "you will find out, just don't trust Mark"
Mark?
My chest burst into flames i immediately get up and touch it but i look down and nothing is burned, i look around and see myself back in the room, with the afternoon light illuminating the room.
I lay back down and take a deep breath. What was that? I look outside towards the castle, a coldness spread towards my chest.
"Mark"
The door opens and the boy enters the room.
"What do you need" he says with his hands behind his back.
"What do you know about the castle" he looks confused for a second but holds back. I chuckle. You were told to listen to me eh.
"That the king lives there"
"And then?"
He puts his shoulders up "nothing else".
Mhh weird. Well there's no phone here so maybe it isn't so weird that he doesn't know anything about it, but news do spread.
I don't want to alert him, for now i will just keep an eye open.
My stomach growls. I have other things to think about right now.
"Can you bring me some food?"
He turns around and lives. Ehy, don't you have to ask me what i want. Brat...
....
Knock knock. The door opens and Bridge William comes in with his usual blue, black and white vest.
"Good evening tomh, i hope you rested"
He says putting the chair infront of me.
"Yes i did and i have some questions" i scratch my head, and i have to wash myself but you stopped me just now.
"I will do as much as i can" he sits down and puts his leg over the other.
"We can start what i asked you last time, what is that?"
He sit in silence for a second "this is something you will find out either way, i cannot say much because you already know you cannot take it and I don't know how they want you to know" how they want me to know? What does that even mean.
"What i did with you was a vow, that you would not share to other people what i told you or you heard connected to me and if you broke it..." He seemed not to propense to speak about it.
"you would know and i would die in a few days" i say for him.
"Yes"
"But how is that possible, and is this the only way you can do it?"
"No the vow can be done in any way you want, obviously it depends on the relation between the two, the goal,the power one has, what you want in return, ecc..." he says doing his usual gestures while speaking "about the power and the source i cannot tell you right now, but just know that it can be both natural and induced, and you have both at the same time, so you have the pros and the cons of both"
I have those powers?
"I don't feel anything " i say watching my hand.
"Of course you don't, you don't even know who you are how would you use the power of your soul"
"My sou-"
"GET DOWN" Bridge William thorws me against the door. My chest hits againts it. I lose my breath. The window brokes to pieces.
"ENEMY ATTACK" Bridge William yells.
