Nikolai felt his eyes were fine and straightened up his form. Nikolai exhaled a breath and looked down on the ground for his Mikan He saw wasn’t there.
Frowning Nikolai looked around eyes staring at the ground then growled out loud “That stranger, Wally, stole my weapon!”
Nikolai roared an angry sound then jogged out of the room to the corridor to the entrance that looked twin to a Traveler’s Gate from the looks of it. Nikolai entered the metal arch and walked out into the sunlight to see Wally holding his Mikan in his hands which he formed a smirk seeing him. Wally was standing next to the stranger Nikolai kicked out, holding a torch and behind them was a crowd of people who abruptly went silent seeing him. Nikolai darted up to Wally and yanked the Mikan out of his grip then turned his back to the crowd pausing when he heard gasping sounds from behind him.
“I didn’t realize that my back had this branded burned marking onto the area I got from someone branding me in a nasty way of marking me.
The brand was said to be Lance Richard’s hellish symbol of the sun put onto my back including High Council’s tattooed script writing of ‘This is the One.’
No cloned marking onto the area hence I’m not a clone.”
Shaking the head, Nikolai walked back into the tomb entering the hallway again which he again reached the sarcophagus room. Nikolai’s eyesight blinked again from purple to colors which he spun around to see Wally walking speedily into the room. Nikolai edged himself towards the wall eyes on Wally thinking of doing violence again. Nikolai saw Wally go up to the coffin and kneel form becoming still not doing anything towards him but just kneeling with hands clasps in front of him like in prayer. Wally was seen having mouth’s moving as if saying something but there was no sound from him.
Nikolai spoke “I later learned from the ability of lip reading that Wally was saying ‘Beg your pardon, god of the First Ones’ please free Nikolai from your clutches, Lance Richard.’ over and over.
Lance Richard is considered the god of the First Ones despite the High Council consider him a god of hell.”
Shaking head of disgust, Nikolai turned away towards an open doorway that had thunder and lightening flashing in front of it while heard a voice speaking “Angel!”
Nikolai turned around to stare at Wally and widen his eyes when he saw his Father, Thurin, in a Human like form instead of his cat’s humanoid form, who standing at Wally’s side wearing a skirt with chest bare of clothing with shiny jewelry on it and a crown on his head staring at him with all dark colored eyes. Nikolai shook his head closing his eyes unbelievingly again heading towards that stormy doorway.
“Nikolai!” as heard which Nikolai opened his eyes.
Nikolai wound up finding his father gone from standing besides Wally but was in front of him, blocking the way to the doorway.
“I didn’t realize it at the time but a Meritanian or whatever Meritanian plant manipulated my Father’s mind to mind scan me from somewhere from his containment to scan me, in medical bay, mind scanning me, at the time, hence I saw his image in my mind.”
Nikolai thought to himself “It was just part of my imagination.”
Nikolai turned towards the doorway again froze, for inches away staring at him was his Father who spoke “You, my son, are an original the One, leader of the people who are counting on you to lead. This is what you should be doing. I did not raise you to have yourself isolated surrounded in the darkness living alone.”
“I highly doubt that my Father said those words anyway despite he meant darkness involving the darkness of the tube trap.”
Nikolai gasped at his Father with shock as Thurin via form recognized later as Nightwalker a vampire or Drainer god, continued speaking “You should face your fear the real reason why your isolated yourself in this place. Why did you go out in the sun to get your weapon if you are afraid of the light? Speak your fears don’t keep them to yourself my son.”
“I’m sure definitely that my Father didn’t actually spoke those words, as he meant to say something else.”
Nikolai watched as his Father faded from his eyes sight the doorway with storms shutting closed in response and felt disgusted eyeing that door.
He wound up turned to face Wally or whoever that Meritanian was who heard was chanting words heard repeatedly said “Go into the light and live. Don’t be afraid of that you’ll live again, Nikolai.”
Nikolai went to Tank, I refer him, kneeling in front of the Meritanian who stopped chanting to stare at as he spoke “I have a either a memory or a dream in my mind. I see my Father wearing robes covered up walking in the desert with me besides him wearing robes. I was following him who stopped from walking to remove the hood from his head. I did the same with both of us looking at each other. My Father looked at me with a look of fear on his face which he screamed of terror and looked down. I looked to see eater licking at his robes surrounding him. I darted towards him to help which he punched me hard throwing me backwards hitting the ground. I could only lie on the ground restrained by ropes staring with terror as the eater engulfed my Father.
I screamed out ‘Father!’
As the eater covered him which I heard him give out a crying wail sound then the eater shot up towards the sky, leaving a black round soot mark on the ground, in his place. I kept walking in the desert till I got a burning sensation on the bottoms of my feet that I felt a hotness feeling that made me yank off my robes. The feeling took over as my feet continued to feel like burning and looked down with bad eyesight, to see eater surrounding me which I screamed and ran to here. The burning came up to my legs as I entered this place entering this room falling to a kneeling position and felt the eater had left me.”
“Tank nodded his head which I’m sure some of those wording I used were manipulated by someone else to make me say them.”
Nikolai continued “I became afraid that the eater would consume me like it did with my Father if I was out there so I stayed living here as my sanctuary from it.”
“I don’t think I would have said that wording anyway.”
Nikolai stared at Tank with pleading who wordlessly handed him a large cloth canteen while speaking “Here, Nikolai, drink.”
Nikolai took the canteen and brought the open cap part to his lips which he drank recognizing it as milk literally via body form.
“I didn’t know it at the time but my body was warming up from a cold sleeping status hence the milk represented that status.”
Nikolai greedily drank till there wasn’t a drop left for him. Nikolai handed Tank the canteen who slung it over his arm as he grimaced as a headache arrived to his head.
“The pain felt similar to the pain of Meritanian mind scanning me actually to remember something deeply like memories restored after being mind wiped by the High Council.”
I saw the scene on the Traveler’s Gate as seen via Guardian, changed, to show a much younger Nikolai, appearing to be a teenager sitting next to an eater with gonoid skins feet aimed at it, while staring at a male who had robes covering him across from it. The male pulled off his robes off his head, showing a humanoid cat like face with a headband of metal on his head.
My mind told me “This is your Father’s second in command, General Wickers.”
General Wickers stared at the young male with a frown as I felt myself as the youngster, laid down staring at the sky while feeling my feet warm. I felt a burning sensation in my feet and looked up as General Wickers darted around the eater with panic seen in his golden eyes. I felt the burning sensation reach my legs as General Wickers grabbed me pulling me away from the eater before tossing a bolt of cloth covering my legs and feet, swatting it at me. I wound up literally felt the burning sensation leave me followed by hotness feeling. I groaned loudly pulling at my long sleeve shirt yanking it off my form. I didn’t realize it then but I do now that dream was involving my body warming up from a deathly cold status from the feet down. I do remember wound up hit with a fever back when my body started to wa
rm up.
I felt a clawed hand on my forehead and heard someone speaking “By the Deity Lord, God of Hell! He’s burning up!”
I laid on the ground feeling like a soft bed feeling myself really hot groaning loudly as I felt a cool cloth cover my forehead. I shut my eyes as I was forced into a sitting position and felt something brought to my lips. I drank recognizing the medicine as milk but seemed watery to me. I felt the coolness of milk and greedily drank as sleepiness arrived which I stopped drinking becoming still. I felt an arm around my form and felt my head lay on a lap with a cloth still on my forehead as I passed out unconscious.
Nikolai continued to dream within my mind of myself kneeling who jerked his eyes to stare at Tank who spoke “You as younger were burned on the feet and legs from an eater catching on your clothes which gave you the heat sickness. You suffered said to see an image of your Father being burned by the eater repeatedly over and over during your sicknesses.”
Nikolai stiffened at the words as Tank indicated to say something else by his mouth moving but couldn’t say anything he wanted to say.
Tank paused then continued speaking “After your Father’s disappearance, you were seen going into the desert unstopped wearing what you described walking the perimeter of the city walls outside while crying out ‘Father’ repeatedly.”
