Suddenly, they pulled out their weapons and stabbed them into his abdomen and he fell and fell into darkness before losing consciousness. Brad felt a stabbing pain on his abdomen and lost consciousness after that. He clutched the pendant in his right hand as he fell through the s.p.a.ce. He could feel his body get heavier and heavier as he landed on a hard surface.
"Are you okay?" He heard someone ask. The melodious voice belonged to a woman. It must be Olympia. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids were like lead. It refused to cooperate. He could only hope that she doesn"t worry about him much.
But Brad was very confused. He clearly saw them stabbing their weapons into his abdomen. They pierced through his skin and it went straight through him. Why didn"t he die? Those weapons were so powerful. Except being not able to open his eyes, everything was so normal. He suddenly remembered the pendant. Was that the reason he did not die?
He was supposed to pa.s.s it on to Olympia. They said that they were here to protect him from danger. Why did they stab him together? Everything was so confusing for him. He knew something wasn"t right, when he couldn"t lift his right arm. "I"m still in the soul state, or did I return back to my body?" He sighed and tried to connect himself to his consciousness. Everything was so blank and dark. He tried to call Shortie. But Shortie did not respond to his calls. Suddenly ominous feelings rose in his heart. But, he calmed himself down. He knew that it was Olympia who was crying for his safety. He tried to call Olympia using his consciousness stream. Luckily, Olympia responded to him.
"Master, are you okay?" This was the first sentence Olympia asked as soon as she could hear Brad"s call. She knew that her Master could hear her. But why couldn"t he come to her? She asked Brad again, "Master, please tell me what exactly happened after you went to the chaos world."
"So, it was the chaos world I went to." Brad was puzzled. "Why would I meet Aiden and Demetria in the chaos world?" He thought to himself not realizing that he had spoken his thoughts out aloud.
"What? You met my parents!" Olympia was so shocked that her eyes popped open like saucers.
"Yes, I did meet them. They sent a souvenir for you. You must treasure it well."
"Did they now?" Olympia laughed to herself. "Which parents abandon their child and sent souvenir through her Master"s hands? If they knew that you are my master, why didn"t they come to meet me? Whyyyyyyyy?" Olympia shouted the last part. An icy fire and a fiery ice surrounded her. It was so chilly and at the same time, so hot. Brad could feel the fluctuations in his heart, but he did not console her. Maybe, he never knew how to console her.
Olympia cried for a long time before she rose to her feet and said through her consciousness stream. "Master, I have transferred some powers to you. Please utter this incantation, and you will be released from the bind. Master, also remember to pay total attention. Your mind must be very calm. No other thoughts should enter your brain, otherwise, the incantation won"t work. "
Hearing Olympia Brad counted backwards. He was always of a calm mind. He meditated every day, so, he could easily focus. He uttered slowly and calmly, "Spirit-Bind Break."
He felt his limbs being released from some sort of binding. He felt free. He tried to open his eyes, as they were not as heavy as before. He opened his eyes to a blinding flash of red and blue lights. When his eyes slowly adjusted to the lights, and when he reopened them, he saw the most beautiful scene in his whole life. It was the most amazing thing he ever saw. He couldn"t describe it in mere words.
He saw a lady sitting cross-legged inside a halo which consisted of two different colors. The left side consisted of icy blue color and the right side was of fiery red shade. The most amazing thing about the halo was, the two sides blended so perfectly in the middle. There was a young woman sitting inside the halo cross-legged and in deep meditation. She donned clothes of red and blue, equally blending into each other. Everything seemed so peaceful that he stared for a long time at the beautiful woman, who was none other than Olympia.
Olympia could feel someone"s burning gaze on her, but she had no time to care. It would be her stupid Master only. Thinking about Deablo, she was sad for a while, and the surrounding halo started fluctuating. She tried to stabilize her mind again. The halo stabilized with it. He concentrated again on her meditation, and paid no attention to anything else.
Meanwhile, Brad suddenly remembered Shortie"s words. He said something about going out. But none of them said anything. He couldn"t blame them. With so many ups and downs, there was no time for them to be able to tell him anything. He sighed in his heart and then tried to recall any information he must have missed. Suddenly he remembered. "Didn"t they say that before?"
