“Wake up sleepy head. We are here.”Davies nudged Kylie lightly, and the young woman rubbed her eyes with the look of a child. She looked a bit confused, as was normal for anyone who had just woken up. However once her eyes traveled past the windshield and latched on to the huge signboard right in front of her, they sparkled in great excitement. For the sign read, Welcome to Levity Museum. “We truly are here!” Kylie exclaimed giddily and jumped out of the car with the enthusiasm that wasn’t expected of someone who had only just woken up.“Geez, relax,” Davies sighed with the gaze of an exhausted parent and slipped out of his seat just as quickly. Jack was the last to leave the vehicle. But unlike the other two, he was much more composed. For he had visited this museum many times in the past. The trio walked over to the main gate with greatly hurried footsteps. There were several people loitering next to the main entrance. Many were looking at the large building behind the gate w
“The exhibition would be starting shortly,” Kaizo reminded the team before adding, “Until then please refrain from touching any artefact or moving away from the viewing platform.”Kaizo comments seemed to wake both Kylie and Davies up. And their feet which were automatically shuffling towards the exhibition area stopped abruptly. Both had wry smiles on their faces upon realizing that Jack was standing still, with his eyes perusing the items. It was only now that Kylie noticed that there were others here. However, they weren’t that many, showing that not many people could get into Levity Museum. The two newcomers scanned every face there was, an action that took only a few minutes given the scarcity of those allowed into the museum. The two were bored soon after, and found ways to alleviate their boredom.Kylie started asking Jack questions about the exhibit since he had been here many times; but that was no help. According to Jack, this was merely the waiting area so many things her
"Uncle Kaizo," Sam smiled sweetly, stealing the souls of the many men who were watching from the sides. Her lovely image was so imprinting upon their retinas that some forgot to breath, and it was only after the guard at her side blocked her from their view that they recalled this very important life process."Miss Sam," Kaizo kept his smile as professional as it was before Sam got here. His expression was that of a respected butler coming to see his superior, but the elegance that surrounded him made his actions seem to be more of humility, rather than responsibility. The way Kaizo addressed Sam was much too different from how he addressed Jack. His treatment of Kylie and Davies was even better. For while his smile remained and that dignified appearance of his was far from cutting an offensive figure, the fact that he hadn't bothered to bow showed that Sam was not placed on the same pedestal as Jack! And this was simply because the two were related. For while Kaizo did refer to her
Jack, Kylie and Davies followed the beautiful guide through the hallway. They walked for almost 15 minutes with the end seemingly out of sight. This forced Kylie to wander about the vastness of the museum. "It didn't look this spacious from the outside," she thought.The further the group went, the darker it got. The surprising thing about all this for Kylie was the response of their fellow guests. Although they had been walking for sometime, none of the guests uttered a word of complaint; for each one of them remained silent throughout. This showed Kylie just how much power the museum possessed; for she recognised a few of the guests as very prominent men and women! Seeing any one of them on an ordinary day was rare, but seeing so many together was beyond rarity. This was the power of Levity Museum!Kylie looked to the sides of the hallway as they moved. Although it was so dark that even a bat would struggle to find its way, Kylie somehow could make out the strange engravings on the
Jack rushed to Kylie immediately upon sensing her unusual state. Davies snapped out of his trance as well and held Kyle's arm, roughly nudging her. His attempts proved futile however, for Kylie kept mumbling those same words. And her actions drew the attention of the guide."There should be no noise in Levity," the beautiful guide reiterated. Her smile remained, but her gaze was cold and unfeeling. Several ominous lights flashed in her eyes as a creepy aura was exuded from her slender frame. She cared not for Kylie's present state. All she knew were the rules of Levity. And the rules stated clearly that no noise should be made in Levity!The prominent guests who stood with them silently took a few steps back upon feeling the guide's change. Although they were figures of great power and authority, none of them seemed eager to get on the bad side of the Exhibution Guide. The eyes of many of them flashed in anticipation, eagerly awaiting what was coming. Davies and Jack kept trying to wa
Davies quaked in his boots. Beads of sweat that shouldn't have existed in a world that was virtual, fell down his face. His eyes shook in trepidation as his arms lay limply at his side. The wolf before him was large and that couldn't be denied. But he had been in the presence of larger beasts and had survived! In all of those instances he hadn't experienced fear like this, yet right now an inherent fear that he couldn't fight suppressed every urge to run. He felt his heart telling him to kneel and accept his fate; to dare not go against the beast before him. It was a suppression that went all the way down to the depths of his bloodline; to the history of his origins! And Davies couldn't help but recall the last piece of writing that he hadn't understood."All of beast blood shall bow to it"Davies's body was trapped, but his mind was still very much free. He finally understood what it was that stood before him. He finally understood the secret Levity Museum had been guarding for years
Davies was as quick as a speeding train, yet he had the elegance of a swan. He was carrying a human being on his shoulders, yet his steps were light and quiet. He moved so quickly that it made one wonder if Kylie had any significant weight at all!Kylie's eyes easily took in the swiftly changing scenery. Each tree and leaf that they passed was captured by her eyes as easily as they would have if she was walking past them. It was a remarkable thing, and Kylie finally realised the oddity in her perception and cognitive processing skills at this point. However, those didn't intrigue her as much as Davies' speed did. Even with her ability to follow his movements, Kylie didn't know if she could react to such a speed! There was one thing she was certain of though: there was no way she would be able to emulate this kind of speed; and this was clearly not Davies' peak velocity!Logically speaking, Kylie should have rubbished what she was seeing since this was all happening in her head. But so
"An Alpha?" Kylie asked with much confusion clouding her mind. "What are you going on about Davies?" Kylie's heart beat furiously as the question came out of her mouth.Initially her heart had been pounding ferociously, but it was due to the dangerous beast that sought to consume her. Now it beat anxiously because of Davies's words. She didn't know what Davies was referring to, but her blood seemed to know much more than she did. For her heart suddenly run into overdrive when she heard the word "Alpha", as though it knew exactly what Davies was saying. If she could speak to her heart, she would ask it why it was so excited to hear the word; however, that treacherous organ that loved and hated as it saw fit and tried to dictate the affairs of the mind, wasn't ready to give an answer. It turned its head away in swift abandonment, not caring about how Kylie would find her answer. All it knew was that it was definitely not going to come from it."Well..." Davies stated before leaping over
