Lucy Wickshire

Chapter 181

In the face of this failure, three men met in the cover of night, outside the capital in a small shack. When they all arrived, they but glanced at each other before sitting.

"How do we report this failure?" one of them asked.

"We should have known it would not work the moment she caught me during Queen Lilith"s execution. She had warned that we not try anything." another said.

"That incident, in my report I stated clearly, that she must have been the one that helped us enter Thriegor. That means she must have known our every move from the first step. But of course, the council did not care." the other supported.

"Not only did she help us enter, she probably helps everyone enter Thriegor. That is how she must be keeping tabs on who enters and why. Everyone in this world is moving at her mercy." the other said. One of them looked at the two talking, with a frown. His frown deepened at his companion"s next words.

"She wanted us to expose to the world that we tried and failed. I"m sure the information that we are in Juhntt has already been pa.s.sed to other realms by now. We picked up a stone and dropped it on our own foot."

"So what? It is shameful to imagine that both of you are one of those who think our Harnian gate should not have moved against her." his frown turned to disgust, "Hermin, Gregor. Do you really believe us weaker than some girl?"

"You are young, Threo. Young people tend to disregard history. This has always fuelled your unfounded courage." Gregor said with a sigh.

"Since everyone knows of our acts now, we might as well go ahead and kill her without needing to hide. When we find her..." Threo started to say, before he paused, "This world, Thriegor, is the weakest of all the worlds in it"s cl.u.s.ter. If any world steps out, they can crush them instantly, talk more of us; the Harnian gate. History? We are talking about today!" Threo could not stand these two at the moment.

"Do you think the Harnian gate or other gates stronger than the lower realms belt?" Hermin asked, "the lower realms belt are the council in charge of all lower realms, all lower realms have five gates in it"s command, our Harnian Gate has ninety nine worlds in it"s command. Do you think this hierarchy is a joke?"

"I know the hierarchy." Threo did not like being lectured on something every newborn in the Harnian gate knew of.

"The lower realm belt dare not move on the Thraines. It may look as though they are indifferent, but that is not true. My master has travelled across realms. He said that the number one taboo in the lower realms belt is; Thriegor is off limits." Hermin said.

"Do you expect me to believe those words? For all one knows, they may be as bent as your knowledge of the Harnian gate. The Harnian gate has a hundred worlds in it"s command, not ninety nine." Threo snorted.

"You really are too young. Since the end of the Thraine era, the Harnian gate has only had ninety nine worlds." Gregor said with a sigh.


"What happened to the last world?" Threo asked with a frown.

"You are standing on it." Gregor answered, causing Threo to pause. A look of disbelief masking his face.

"How is this possible? Every world is under a gate. Every lower realm has five gates. All lower realms belong to the lower realms belt. If Thriegor is not ours, how does it rank in the hierarchy?" Threo asked.

"This is the only known rank-less world." Gregor answered.
