《Shadow’s World》60. True enemies
Advertisement
I land at the site and was met by a bunch of people. The look at me with surprise but as they got closer they look to turn into disappointment. One of the younger people cries, “I thought you were an elder. Instead, you are nothing but a kid.” The start all walking away. I see a guy on a fence with his eyes close. I walk up to him and ask, “I am here to talk to the person in charge can you bring me to him?” He opens his eyes and said, “Yes.” He got off of the fence and walk into a nearby building. I walk behind him and see 20-30 elders running around in the building. The all look scared and they didn’t seem that powerful. They were stronger than me but not by much. I think Elder Jessie can take them all but himself. We walk to a big room and the guy knocks on the door. “Who is it?” asked a voice on the other side of the door. “Some kid that just arrive wanted to see you, sir.” The man reply. “Ok, let him in and you can go back to your post.” The man nods and walks away.
I open the door and look inside the room. It had a bunch of screens with dots line up on a map. An elder walks up to me and says, “hello Alexander we have been waiting for you. You are going to be escorted to a different location so you can give out orders. Here are your earpiece and mic so you can give the orders. You two take him to his assigning location.” Two Elders walk up to me and guilds me out of the room. We left the building and flew a kilometer away. We enter a building with a bunch of monitors and they were all showing different angles of the build in which I just left and its surrounding area. The elders made sure my earpiece and my mic was working and flew back to the building we were to help protect it. There was a countdown on one of the screens. I had some time to wait so I look at everyone that was present. There were over 100 people here and most of them were in the ages of 25-50.
I have no idea why I am here. They do not look like an army. They look like a bunch of people the elders gather and are only here to be throw bodies at the enemy and hope to buy them enough time. “The elders know they cannot defend this place. The people who are coming are very powerful. They will destroy the building and free the fairy users.” The spider climbs on my face and told me. I look at it and say, “do not interfere this is our fight. This is my fight. We will stop the fairy users with me commanding these people. I will do the impossible.” The spider starts to laugh and says, “ they are here. You will see this is a foolish quest in a moment.” The spider once again retreats back on top of my head. The number on the countdown was at 30 seconds, why do they know the exact time the enemies were coming? “Elders, how do we know the exact time the enemies are coming?” I talk into the mic. I hear people running around getting ready. “We knew they were for years we were just hoping that they wouldn’t find this facility.” “Why are you saying that? No one is supposed to know this information besides other elders. Didn’t you hear it was a child’s voice? Didn’t you get the memo that the child is going to lead this army against them.” “I am sorry sir, this wouldn’t” “Shut up, Alexander since the fool told you. This group of fairies is too powerful to stop so instead we try to stay out of their way and feed them false information. They will be here in 10 seconds on the 3 number screen get ready.”

I turn my attention to the three screens and watch the countdown. 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and I saw a small dot on the screen. It was getting larger and larger. There were two people one was a guy carrying a woman in the princess carry while flying in the sky. The thing that surprises me was what was behind him. There were purple flames. The strongest elder can only produce a light blue flame but he was one degree better. I cannot see their fairies but they drop right in front of the army.
Then their fairies appear. Oh no. The spider was right. There is no way we could compete with this. This army is a meat shield. Command? There is no way I can get anyone with this cabler to beat these guys if I had 10 years and was using my team than maybe but now and with these losers no way. “Elders, I cannot help them from here. I am going out to the front lines to help.” I take off out of the room. “Alexander does not leave that room. You are here to command not to fight. Do not leave that room!” An elder yells at me through the mic. I have to buy time and I cannot do that being in a room. So I took the earpiece out of my ear and took off into the sky. I can see a fire from the sky and bodies being the toss up into the air. It took the fairies users no time at all beating everyone in their way.
I land right in front of the fairy users. There were bodies lying on the ground everywhere. The two fairy users look at me with their fairies in front of them. No wonder the elders didn’t want anyone to fight them beside scrubs. They had elementals as fairies. It seems the man has a fire elemental and the women water elemental. They both look at me with a surprised look on their faces. “Dear that young man just flew down here from someone where I only thought that only old Jeonglyeong?” The women turn to the man and ask. The guy starts walking towards me slowly. He replies, “honey, I seen this boy somewhere. Wait not seen felt his power from somewhere have you notice? I cannot put my finger on it.” She starts laughing. “Dear did you cheat on me and created this child? He does seem familiar now that you have mentioned it.” She walks closer to the man and put a finger on her chin. She gets a happy look on her face and then snaps her fingers. “Dear, he is the baby we try to kill all of those years ago and failed. Let's capture him and we will when the war. Our daughter is going to become just as strong as us and he is our only real threat.” The man nods his head.
I duck as the dude runs towards me and try to kick me in the face. He brings his heel down and I was able to roll to the right to dodge his heal dropkick. I got back onto my feet and the woman comes at me from behind. She punches me in the back. I get the launch right into the guy’s foot. He was waiting for me to fly to him. I fall to the ground. I fall to the ground. From the ground, I summon lightning attacks and send them at both of my opponents. A huge wave is made and surrounds both of my opponents. The lightning attacks hit the wave and the electric gets disperse in the water. This isn’t good I summon a huge wind beneath my feet and tries to run away. The woman catches me in the air and throws me back into the ground.

I summons my strongest attack. I create a huge blue ball of fire. The two people look at the flame and start laughing. “Honey you hit him too hard. You made him forget that I have a fire elemental.” The fire I created, I lost control of it. It went from behind me to in front of the guy. I didn’t tell it to move at all. The woman walks up and kicks me in the gut. She picks me up and pins me against a wall. My flame went from a dark blue to purple. The temperate couldn’t even compare. The woman kept me pin against the wall as the flames engulf us both. My whole body was on fire and it was burning me. My whole life and I never felt the burning sensation of any flame but now it is a different story. Time slows down as the flame was burning me. It seems like I was being burned forever. The flame finally died out.
My clothes are in tatters the woman doesn’t seem effect by the flames at all. She drops me onto the ground. As I am falling to the ground she kicks me. I spit out blood. “Honey, he is down for the count lets capture everyone here and destroy the building and let’s escape.” A huge wave sweeps me away. The wave captures everyone that was fighting the two fairy users and the people that were inside of the facility. I look at the two monsters that didn’t even need to use their fairies to beat me. They use their own power and once I feel in awe of their strength. This woman can capture so many people with easy and yet I feel like I am drowning.
The guy creates a huge fireball. With a point of his finger, the fire consumes the entire building. The man and woman disappear. The water that I was in also disappears. I fall to the ground. The spider jumps down from my head and looks me in the eye and says, “I warned you. It will take a week for your body to heal. Good to sleep Alexander, once you wake up the whole world will change.” With that, I close my eyes.
I awake in a room with all of my teammates surrounding my bed. Erica closes her book and leaves the room. Because of Erica closing her book the rest of the team wakes up. They look at me and yells, “Alexander you are awake.” They start to huge me. Whoa, you guys are getting way too touchy-feely. I push them away. “So what happens?” Isabella pushes up her glasses and says, “After you left we found out that the elders sent you to fight the fairy elementals. Erica was so pissed she threatens to destroy the entire school if you didn’t come back. An hour or two after you left we heard the news that the mission was a failure. We were worried that you were capture but just as we found out the mission was a failure we learn that you were sent to a hospital. We got on a bus to visit you. That is when the event happens.” Everyone turn their heads away. “What event?” Wendy looks at me and says, “We need to go to the roof and show you something.” I got out of the bed with my own power. I am feeling fine. As we walk to the roof everyone heads are down.
We got to the rood and Wendy points to the north. It was beautiful. It seems like the sun was rising but the sunrise for east to west. Not only that but it was high noon. “That is where the fairies are. The great fairy Anaisa separated both groups. In 15 years the barrier will go down and there will be a great war.” Anaisa appears before me. “Let’s see if you are a true leader.”
