《Heir of Wilberforce》Chapter 9: The Secret
Advertisement
In Old Aldurish, 'Urú' had two meanings: first, it meant black, and second, it refered to a poor country engulfed in darkness.
Long ago before The Descent, there was a clan who had an unusual Gift. Members of these clan were born with a unique black eye in which both the sclera and the iris were black. Because of this, the people of that time called them Urú.
The members of this clan didn't like their new name. "We are not a poor country." They said.
They later added 'rú' to the end of the name to make it 'Urúrú'. Many clans saw that as a poor choice because the suffix 'rú' was derived from an extinct Djinn tribe who were wiped out by a plague. It was said the plague happened because of their bad deeds. It was even a taboo to speak of them, why would any clan wanted to change their name to mimic theirs?
But whether changing their name was was a bad choice was still not clear. What was clear was all the clans who had once laughed at Urúrú were now gone. In fact, Urúrú had been in power for as long as anyone could remember. They were the sole owners of the First World and about half of the Second World was theirs as well.
Urúrú had created three Commandments: The Descent, The Jinzidal and The Contract.
Before The Descent, everyone lived on the First World. Urúrú said humans could not live together peacefully in one place. They used the Gift in their black eyes to take everyone down to the six lower worlds.
Before The Jinzidal, countries were allowed to wage war on each other but now wars were prohibited. If you had any problems with any country you had to wait till the end of the year during the annual Jinzidal competition to settle it.

Before The Contract, anyone could tame and enslave any Djinn but now there were restrictions. Every enslavement spell was strictly controlled. The nature, type and race of any Djinn had to be assessed by the ministry before you were allowed to tame it.
The secret Armad just heard was directly related to these three Commandments. It was something that could turn the entire world upside down if revealed.
Armad didn't know what to do with it. Just by knowing it he had put himself in an unspeakable great risk. After a long debate, he decided to keep his mouth shut for two reasons: first, even if he told someone, they would likely not believe him, and second, he didn't want to end the current peace enjoyed by the inhabitants. But just for insurance, he shared the secret with his Djinn and then he implanted it in his soul realm.
He wondered what those two men and woman would do with something like this.
They likely intend to threaten Urúrú with it, um... not possible. He shook his head. Maybe they want to sell it, maybe they want to destroy it...
Wait.. where am I? And when did I changed to this? His brain took in his new environment and his new clothes.
Lightning Flash was a very mysterious spell. It gave him the speed of lightning for a single second. But the distance covered in that single second was unimaginable. Whenever he used the full power of the spell, he ended up lost somewhere. And because of that, he always used a minute fraction of it to move around like a minor teleportation.
This time he wanted to get away as far from Nostalgia and her brothers as possible, and because of that he used the full power of the spell.
He was probably lost somewhere. Thankfully, his body didn't feel hurt so maybe he didn't hit anything hard like the last time.
Time to find the Triple-factor.

Omnipocalypse Monsters(Shelved Timeline)
System Edit: This timeline has been shelved, but the adventures of the Omegas and her kids will continue in the next System Update Timeline with additional foes and challenges early on to guide the Omegas into a less destructive path of protection.The Omnipocalypse was every apocalypse humans ever imagined all happening at once, zombies, plagues, nukes, EMPs, Robot uprisings. Not just the earth either, It happened to every World ever dreamed up by men too: heaven, hell, and every other afterlife or spirit world ended, plus the worlds of books and stories bled into reality. It all broke apart and either; became new places on the chaotic Earth or part of the even messier spirit world. Magic beasts mutated by radiation, Robots mastering Magic, the mixture of everything made the horrors... well, more horrible. Omega; A young Woman with few memories wakes to find she has spent 2500 years in stasis, in a basement of scientific horrors. Creatures and Things that could supposedly destroy the world if ever let free. Horrors of which she was the last to get free. Rather then Quest for world domination or destruction; Omega keeps getting drawn into a protective role over other orphans, lost monsters, and broken AIs. So she decides to build something to help all her little monster family be safe. -------This story is meant to be a behind the scenes look at stories about kids solving problems that should be beyond them. I always wanted to see a story about Professor Oak, Dumbledore, or any other mentor who trains the main characters. I like the idea of someone looking at the apocalyptic world and deciding to make it safe enough that a small child can wander off and make some monster their pet. The pokemon games have fun systems to consider the behind the scenes workings of, like what training a team rocket member goes through to become a villain cut out for children to defeat. how they prevent a deific pokemon from accidentally murdering some little rat with its immense psionic power. However, the story itself is not really meant to be a pokemon parody, I draw inspiration from every genre of fiction, any type of game, this story is the only one I plan of ever writing without a clear cut ending planned, I love the infinite storytelling capacity of things like Doctor who's TARDIS, the Stargate or Rick's portal gun. In this case, I wanted the setting itself to be one where any and every story might happen. Cover Image by kalli gruen from Pixabay Discord Image by Digital Photo and Design DigiPD.com from Pixabay
