Shiebe: What the hell....What's going on
Taken by surprise he fell onto his bed.
Shiebe: T-this is. The past?!
-That Women. Her voice was the same from my dream...She's the one that did this.-
Shiebe thought to himself about who the woman was and why she wanted to keep him alive. He was confident that this was the same scenario that he had faced this morning.
-She brought me back in time and told me to change the outcome. In order words i'm trapped in a time loop unleash I find a way out. Find the truth. What is the truth?!-
KNOCK KNOCK
His inner monologue was disturbed by a knock on his door.
If it really was the past then the person knocking on the door should be
Shiebe: Come in.
The same tired butler from earlier had come in.
"The Lord is requesting you to the main throne"
Shiebe nodded his head and the butler left the room.
He made his way to the main throne paying extra close to his surroundings and trying to see if there is anything off.
Of course, he wasn't able to find anything noteworthy the same as last time. He arrived at the main throne.
Just like before Zaneff had already been there with Eros.
The dialogue plays out the same as before
Eros: Perfect. Now we need to wait for the others
Shiebe kept quite pondering over what's happening.
Zaneff: O-others?...
Eros: Well you see. A close friend of mine found a few kids about your age with extraordinary powers and are sending them here. They should arrive any minute from now.
Footsteps were heard from behind.
-That should be Maz-
Eros: Ah here they are.
Maz: Hm. So you must be Shiebe and Zaneff....and I assume you're the Monarch Of Life Eros Juvebuilo.
Once again Shiebe stayed quiet.
Eros: Is it just you Maz. What about Julius and Mona.
Maz: It seems they couldn't make it this year. Something about their village dealing with a war or something but at least you have the strongest one here.
Eros: The three of you follow me to the garden. That's where your training will begin.
They all headed for the garden.
On their way there Shiebe decided to speak to Maz.
Previously they had died on awkward terms with each other. Shiebe knew Maz wasn't a bad person and wanted to befriend him instead of fighting him.
Shiebe: Your name's Maz right?
Maz: Yup that's me...The next big thing.
Shiebe: The next big thing huh. You want to be a member of the council of hope.
Maz: ..Yeah..Something like that..
Maz lowered his gaze a bit after Shiebe mentioned that. It was a side that he would never had gotten to see before.
-Sensitive topic. I see-
Eros explained the training as he did previously.
This time Maz did not respond. He still looked a bit down from what Shiebe had said earlier.
Shiebe: Alright!
Shiebe took the initiative instead.
Eros: Let's start. 3, 2, 1....Go!
Shiebe: You two wait!
Before charging out Shiebe called out for the two of them. His goal was to clear this as fast as possible and avoid being knocked out to see the events that had happened whilst unconscious
Shiebe: I think the most optimal way of defeating them is working together. Using our syreums to help out on another.
Zaneff: I see. I agree
Maz finally had a somewhat of a smile on his face
Maz: As long as you don't mind being struck by lighting every now and then
Shiebe smiled.
He wasn't sure if Maz would have agreed but was glad that he did.
It had gone just as plan.
Zaneff creating a wall of flames around the beast capturing them.
Shiebe and Maz focusing on dealing mass amounts of damage to them.
They had cleared it in under 5 minutes.
Eros: Woah! Talk about skill. The younger generation is looking strong. Get ready tomorrow's the real thing!
-Tomorrow? Not next week. Maybe it's because of how well we worked as a team and how quickly we cleared it. -
Eros went back inside the palace
Leaving the three of them outside
Zaneff let out a sigh of relief.
Zaneff: That was easier than I thought it would be. Your plan worked Shiebe.
Maz: Yeah I didn't expect you to be a genius.
There was no response
Zaneff: Shiebe? Are you okay?
Maz: Hey he doesn't look to good!
-I feel dizzy. I can't understand what they are saying. Shit. I feel weak. I'm going to pass o---
He passed out.
However. He did not experience a dream this time.
Once he had reawakened he saw Zaneff looking over him.
Zaneff: He's awake!
Maz: About time. It seems like something is going on in town. I keep hearing screams and shouts.
Shiebe slowly tried to stood up
Zaneff: Careful
Zaneff assisted him the same way Maz had done before.
Shiebe: W-Where's Eros?
Maz: I couldn't find him..The servants and his wives also seem to be gone.
Zaneff: What could have happened
Shiebe: Let's stay inside the house for now. Outside may not be safe.
The two nodded their heads and headed back into the palace
KNOCK KNOCK
A knock echoed throughout the empty palace.
Zaneff: Is that Eros?
Maz: Lets see.
Shiebe: No! Don't open it!
-Weird I don't feel any pain this time?-
Zaneff: Is something wrong?
Shiebe: Think about. Don't you think it's suspicious that we are the only ones here. How come all the servants and Eros wives are gone. Not to mention the countless screams that we've been hearing...If it really is Eros then surely he has a key or some way of entering back into the building. Better safe than sorry.
Maz: If you say so.
Shiebe: How long was I out for
Zaneff: About 40 minutes
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
-Shit! I don't have much time!-
The knocking had stopped. Meaning that Shiebe had about 20 minutes before his death
Shiebe: What happened when I was out.
Zaneff: Maz went out to look for help but there was no one around. We then decided to wait around for them to come back or when you wake up. If it looked bad we would take you to a healer.
-Where did everyone go. Fuck! We're going to die at this rate.-
Shiebe grabbed Maz and Zaneff hands and made a run for the garden but then
BANG
Then time came to a stop.
Shiebe was conscious but could not move his body.
I'm sorry.
The woman spoke again
You were too late. I have frozen time before your unfortunate death.
You are getting closer.
Think and point out anything that stands out to you.
Find the Truth
Win.
You have a chance to change the outcome
This is your Third attempt
GO!
