《This world is strange》Chapter 26. Story of the past

Cley and Fay was standing over the bed of Flinn in the infirmary.
"Master do you think he will be alright?"
Cley looked as white as sheet.
"I don't know. He used up all of his manna in one spell and fell on the ground. Even though we restored his manna with the crystals, he use to store manna in, he didn't wake up. He is alive, but we don't know if he will ever wake up."
He clenched his fists.
"That bastard lizard! Like we wanted to be under a barrier that won't let us leave!"
Fay was confused.
"What are you talking about master?"
"Right. You don't know about it. The reason we had to leave the forest and the reason why we estabilished this city here. It all began 5.000 years ago..."
He spoke about the thruth they discovered and let them decide to live on the prairie.
5.000 years ago the spirits which gained a lot of powers started rule the world and made all the people belive that they are the gods of this world. But the true god Esnar had enough of them. He woke up Draco Nigrum and made it hunt down all the spirits. The hunt was devastating. The ancient creature easily killed every spirits in it's way, only leaving scorched earth. So the three strongest spirits, who were called ancient spirits created a barrier and isolated their belivers from the rest of the world. Then they brainwashed almost all of them and made them fight. From the fights they made enough power to keep up the barrier until nowadays. But in the last hundred years there weren't any wars, so the barrier must've weakened down.
"We were waiting for this exatc moment, so we would breake the barrier with the energy that we collected in the town of Prary and the energy of the forest. But we were fools. We didn't think about that the dragon would come and destroy everything. Seems like it didn't forget about the three spirits left."

Fay was now even more confused.
"So you wanted to break the barrier? Then why did you wait this much? Also how did you know about all this?"
Cley gave him a bittersweet smile.
"We waited more than 2.000 years, because we ned so much manna that it required this many time. We only needed a few more years to breake the barrier. About how did we know?"
He stoped for a moment, then he held out his hand, a blue swirling portal opened up and he reached in. He pulled out a book from this pocket dimension.
"Everything is written down here. It was made by my father, who lived all this through. But after we knew about this and made preperations the spirites noticed us and tried to kill us. Thankfully we were prepared. We already made the town of Prary and set up the defensive barriers. After that we trusted Bran with the construction of the magic circle in Elfheim, without telling him about anything important. Then it was the time for the waiting."
A drop of tear went down his face.
"But it was all in vain. Bran died using all the manna in the forest trying to kill that thing. Master Flin almost died using all the energy stored in the town alone, shifting the magical circle and making it into a teleportation circle."
Fay put his hand on his master's shoulder.
"It wasn't in vain. If you wouldn't have done your best we all would've died knowing nothing. But now atleast we are safe."
"If you can call this place "safe", wherever we are."

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

THIS IS A COMPLETED STORY AND THERE WILL BE NO SEQUEL ANY TIME SOON.In this story Elizabeth Swan is the older sister of Bella Swan. Bella hates Beth for being older than her and her not being the only child. She especially hates her when she grows close with the Cullen family. You should also now that I made this cringy and like other stories because that seems to be what everyone likes. Some of it will be cheesy and other parts will be extra dramatic but its intentional. Bella is not with Edward in this story. None of the Cullens are together they only consider eachother siblings. Esme is not in this story and I am so sorry, I love her but with how im doing it I don't know if I could fit her in correctly. In this story the Cullens are a coven that was blessed with having only one mate that they must share with eachother. THIS IS A BELLA BASHING STORY. It is based in 2020 and ALL the Cullens are seniors. Well except Carlisle. The coronavirus is not a thing. Bella will be VERY out of character, go with it.There will be some cursing and smut with warnings when it will happenI do not own twilight or its plot I only own Elizabeth Jo Swan and the plot I created. This will not follow the timeline or the plot completely so bare with me.
