“… That is it then… From right here on out, it is the true deal.” Dale mentioned as he centered on the creature
“Earlier than you ship me away like final time, nevertheless, I needed to substantiate one thing.” New novel chapters are revealed on
Dale considered the Jade Pill and the Oath he by no means took, he puzzled if issues would stay the identical or if he would nonetheless be a problem to others.
One of many causes Roger had Dale go to South America was for exposition, with him being formally pulled to ‘their aspect’, individuals would not be as cautious of him anymore.
Nevertheless, Dale had no intention of leaving once more, at the very least to not South America.
He needed to be close to his household as a lot as doable, and due to this, he remained a legal responsibility for others.
If he possessed a lot energy whereas being fully exterior the Oath’s restrictions, individuals would worry and be fearful about his actions and selections.
And though it might be later confirmed he would not have to be certain by the Oath, it might nonetheless paint a scene for others to get pleasure from and calm down.
Not solely that, he would nonetheless be an abnormal particular person from the ‘eyes’ of the Oath, stopping Roger and plenty of others from sharing what they knew with him, slowing down his progress even additional.
His recollections had been nonetheless there, however was the Oath?
“The Oath…”
/Transfer…/
Earlier than he might full his sentence, the creature’s fingers danced in unison as a number of unusual runes shaped within the air.
They coiled collectively, forming letters so advanced one would surprise in the event that they weren’t scribbles…
Nevertheless, amidst their gradual formation, Dale observed acquainted engravings…
These runes, he had seen them earlier than, they had been the identical ones he noticed on the Pill.
/Push…/
With a easy push of its hand, the creature pushed the runes onto Dale, having them crack into tens of millions of items as they scattered within the void.
Like confetti falling onto the bottom, the brilliant specks of sunshine vanished proper in entrance of his eyes as their sheen was engulfed by the darkish.
“…”
‘Bizarre…’
Dale appeared round, ready for one thing to occur, however ultimately, nothing modified.
Not less than, he felt no completely different from earlier than.
“So uh… Is it achieved?”
/Silence/
The being didn’t reply.
‘As mysterious as ever… I’m wondering who or what this man is… If it is a man anyway…’
This creature, the so-called, True Ruler. Effectively… That was who Dale believed it to be…
What was its identification? What position did it play on this mess? What had been its objectives and the way was it performing them?
There have been nonetheless too many questions, and he knew none of them could be answered, this creature was not fascinated by idle chat.
The extra he considered it the better his confusion turned, and with it, the better his worry.
The doable ramifications of what this example signified had been heavy, probably too grand for him to entertain them totally but.
Ultimately, whereas touching his head, he acquired up from the bottom, specializing in what was at hand.
/Swoop!/
As he did so, the portal earlier than him closed because it spiraled into itself, vanishing because the house round him healed again into its splendid, steady form.
As he processed what simply occurred, Dale had the thought to verify the time, and as he remembered, Babylon had already closed, it had been round half an hour or so since then to be exact. Like earlier than, there have been dozens of messages from Ermin and likewise another associates.
It was to no shock, however for a second, Dale thought he was late…
“I nearly forgot about this… I promised to sit down down and speak with them, however as a result of particular occasion I misplaced the possibility to take action… They had been somewhat upset with me, to say the least.”
Touching his head in a mixture of frustration and confusion, Dale realized he was now sporting his helmet, which led him to really feel one of many strongest ‘deja-vu’ occasions he ever had.
‘I am actually doing all the pieces once more, aren’t I?… That is trippy…’ He thought as a smile shaped on his face
‘Perhaps, all deja-vu moments I felt earlier than had been as a result of I saved reliving the identical moments of my life however was unable to totally bear in mind them?… Alright, that is sufficient for at present.’
With a loud sigh, he walked to the counter, his steps had been heavy, however agency.
He knew the place he was heading now, achieved had been the times he walked forward with out steerage, he knew what to do, at the very least for now…
“This time… I now know what my closing reward is… It is amusing to a sure diploma…”
‘I cursed that creature greater than as soon as for it not giving me a reward, I really feel unhealthy.’
‘However who would assume I’d be again right here… Destiny really is mysterious.’
‘I’m wondering what’ll cook dinner up for me now? Issues will not go down the identical method as earlier than.’
‘Man… That is…’
‘Actually thrilling!’
Dale’s expression twisted into a smile, it was onerous to place into phrases how nice he felt proper now.
It was time for a brand new chapter in his life, to face this new world on his personal phrases.
He would not let it get one of the best of him.
If it was warfare it needed, that’s what he’ll give it!
‘All of these challenges… These moments I felt worry…’
‘I am going to conquer all of them.’
“Sir?…”
“Eh?”
Realizing he was clenching his fist in entrance of the store clerk, Dale’s enthusiasm was rapidly squashed as he coughed awkwardly in embarrassment.
Effectively… One step at a time.
