Rome, 2014Three blocks away from a popular restaurant in Rome, James Blackwheel shook his head as he approached a man dressed in white he had known for many years. Alberto!Blackwheel fought real hard to focus his thoughts on the man, but the situation he was trying to figure out was too bizarre to grasp rationally especially with the pace it was moving. About a month ago, he had finally found information pertaining to the missing necklace he had been looking for a long time, for centuries now. About a week ago, he was able to discover that Robert Lond who was also a member of the same brotherhood he paid loyalty to had delicate informations regarding the missing necklace that could set his mission back into action. Now, as he stood close to one of his trusted friends who had been with him through tough times over the centuries, Alberto, all he could think of was the strange call he had received from Oskar. A Swedish man and long time member of the brotherhood that wa

 Rome, 2014Alberto took charge as he led the way back to the restaurant that they had left almost an hour ago. "We are looking for a restaurant that brings life into a troubled soul," he told a passerby who had promptly asked them out of courtesy where they were rushing to at a time when the sun was taking its stride away from the sun. "Do you know the young man who just spoke to you?" Blackwheel asked."I don't," Alberto replied, truthfully. "It is just good to administer love and decency wherever you go in this world. The young man was nice to me so I had no other choice than to be nice to him too. Can you tell me what might be going on in his mind when I told him we were looking for a restaurant that brings l

Rome, 2014As Blackwheel pushed his head upward, he felt his vision narrow slowly and he feared his sense of realization would slip away as Alberto repeated the words he had said to him."Maria Blackwheel is a direct descendant of Nneka, my daughter?" Blackwheel said and hit his head hard with his palm."She is your direct descendant," Sophia said. "And she is the one who is in possession of the necklace you have been seeking.""But how is that possible?" Blackwheel asked, looking into the eyes of Alberto. "I was thought Nneka was dead since she just disappeared into nowhere.""There is an explanation for everything, James. Y

Lancaster, 1790 Elizabeth Blackwheel pointed at the stake where her children were burnt alive. Her fingers were weak as scalds took over them with a certain rush of excitement that grieved her own soul.Paul Littlebed rubbed his chin as he felt the weight of being an accomplished Christian dawn on him."My children didn't deserve any of this torture," Mrs. Blackwheel cried."So did my innocent wife your husband raped and murdered," Paul replied.He took her by her arm and dragged her closer to a chopping board. Her mother, Mary Shoelace watched."Lord, I commit my daughter into your hands," Mary Shoelace prayed. "Forgive her for the sins of her husband and for the sins her children would have committed if they were still alive.""Amen!"Mrs. Blackwheel watched as her mother stopped praying. She was hoping for a quick death and a sharp suffering. But she was patient. She knew s

Somewhere, 987The man was mad as he got closer to the treehouse he had been searching for only to find a bird flying around it without perching. Quietly, he sat down, trying to ignore the bird while focusing on what laid ahead of him.The Woman!The necklace!An unknown woman!He bit his lips slowly as he waited for his unfamiliar visitor to arrive. A woman he had arranged to meet before the full moon would appear in the sky. He adjusted himself properly as he tried once again to look into the sky and observe the irregular movements of the bird flying close to the treehouse."You look like a man who has fallen in love with the spirit of drinking," a woman appeared from nowhere and looked at the man. She was the unknown woman he had been waiting for. Her hair was long, up to her waist; flowing freely as if it had no end, as if it didn't want to end."And you look like a woman who has emerged from the dark," the man replied. "What can
