Theme: Smith's chronology and the priest messengers     With one hand, the processor cranked me off the ground and made me run into a yellow bright light that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. The yellow light was in the shape of a door, and I suspected it to be a portal.   "Get them," I heard the veiled man yell in anger. "I want him back here and don't spare her." I heard him shouting orders at his men.   I took one last glance at the scene, and I could see some men in a black outfits, riding a black horse galloping towards the yellow portal, which looks like a door. After a few metres for them to enter, the strange portal closed up and disappeared.   "Are we safe?" I asked the processor as she finally dropped me to the ground. Using my eyes to explore our environment, I could see that we were now in a thick forest that was full of deep trees with their leaves swaying wi

Until death, chapter 23   Theme: The Jungle Fury Part 2     The processor quickly directed the frost orb to the left, and a glaze rod whooshed past our heads. The great cries of about a hundred men were now coming closer. They were riding a skateboard, which I guess was formed from ice. They had black armour and a hood was covering their faces.      "Who are they?" I asked the processor   "They are the reaper's combatants," she answered, then quickly bent low as another sharp, smothered rock flew past our faces. "It means he has found a way to locate us." She explained.     "How is that possible?" I asked, surprised. "I thought you said those entities would only scent my smell if I reached the outside world."     "Since you have started conducting the power of the nectar, they will be able to breathe in

Until death: Chapter 25   Theme: "Surprise or Shock."   I felt proud in front of everybody. The ball I was standing upon was now rotating around the small ridge. My superiority was now in the blink of lashing out and I felt invisible. I am now the champion of the arena. I became the centre of attention, and everyone stood eagerly waiting for what was going to be happy next. I can feel all my friends looking at me with shock, surprise, and disbelief. I knew they were finding it out to believe me. They all stood still on the dirt, their mouths open wide in stupefaction.   Well, I couldn't blame them. Who will believe the story that a two-month-old corpse came back to life, and is now more powerful? The venom woman was now crawling down the ridge. She was sneaking around the other side, hoping to catch me by surprise, but only if she knew that I had now acquired a new sight. It was like I could see everything that was happe

Until death-chapter 27   Themes: Genesis and Revelation   "You want to know how it begins, right?" Ryan screeched at me, and I could see the streaks in his neck rising. He sauntered towards me and shoved me in the mouth with his boot. Not allowing me to take a siesta, he raised me with one hand, my feet dangling in the air, and he punched me in the jaw. Still, he didn't release me. "You Smith caused everything," he snarled again, his eyeball protruding out due to the way he was speaking. "None of you should interfere in what doesn't concern you." He hit me twice more before tossing me away, and I went flying in the air like a baby toy.   I could feel blood on my tongue. My whole mouth had been bruised due to the way he had tortured me. Each blow felt like he was hitting me with heavy metal. Before I could blink, he appeared in front of me, grabbed me by the neck again, yanked me up, then sped towards the cliff and made m

Until death-chapter 29   Theme: The Chase   Instead of loitering for them to charge at me, I attacked them rather. I whack at Ryan, and he deflects it with a sword that mysteriously appeared in his hand. He whacked at me, his sword aiming for my throat, and I quickly bent low. The bitch, my foster mom, slashed at me from behind with a short knife, and I quickly stepped aside. I retaliated by directing a kick to her abdomen and then using her body to perform wall flips. It's just that I used her body instead. My leg hit her on the jaw, and the effect made her stumble backward.   I swashed it aside to circumvent another attack from Ryan. Wheeling back, I faced him, my eyes blazing with fury. He swung at me, his blow growing fiercer with each second. All thanks to the nectar, I was able to deflect all the blows expertly. I whacked at him with my silver sword, and he quickly parried the blow with his blade. He grabbed my ank
