34 A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal.. (1/2)
*While the 6Atlanteans are talking and bounding with each other.*
'The 3Masters are looking from afar'
Power. ”..It's happening now.”
Wisdom, looking a bit worried this time.
”I was hoping he would not go through it already, but there is no doubt about him now...
His powers are too great and would not be fully awakened unless that happens.
And...
He would not let him...”
Love is crossing her hand close to her face and prays.
”God please protect his soul...
If he couldn't make it, we'll have to interfree and stop his slumber.”
Power. ”Yeah. That goes without question..”
'Herald slowly regains his consciousness, it seems that these tests tired him a lot phisically but more so mentally.'
'But Herald wakes up not where he fainted.
He's sitting on a chair, of a table of two people.. Alone in a dark old room with no roof, only lightened by Moonlight and candles...'
'Sitting in front of him, A man he had never seen before...
Wearing the classiest of suits and ties, drinking a cup of what looked like some kind of alcohol so elegantly...'
'For some reason Herald cannot see his face. It's the only part of his body that the light does not reflect on.
Herald is still very exhausted and seems to not have enough strength to lift his body from its place yet.'
”....Where am i? And Who are you?”
The man takes a sip and puts the cup on the table.
”Both answers of little significance Mr Herald.
My name is Mammon.
I am here to help you.”
'Herald slowly moves his body and puts his arms on the table to get a closer look of his face but still does not see it.'
”..Help me in what exactly?”
Mammon. ”To get awakened, isn't that what you're here for?”
Herald. ”Yes, how did you know?”
Mammon. ”Again of no use, let's discuss what is really important Mr Herald.
What you've gone through in this day is truly impressive. You're on the verge of discovering your true powers.”
Herald. ”Is that so...”
Mammon. ”Absolutely, unlike the previous tests this one will is the easiest as well.
You'll just have to give me your trust”
Herald. ”Trust...What do you mean by that?”
*Mammon gets a bottle of wine out of nowhere on the table, and calmfully pours a drink for Herald.*
”Have a drink Mr Herald, as am explaining to you”
Herald. ”No sorry, I do not drink.”
Mammon. ”I said...Have a drink Mr Herald.”
*Herald finds himself unwillingly taking the cup on his hand and drinking it...
Mammon continues.*
”As i was saying... And my words may sound a bit bold to you.
What this organization is telling you, is all false!
This Atlantean association is nothing other than a terrorist formation.
Sucking people's mind and freedom and turning them into murderers with no emotions.
You might be questioning the legitimacy of my claims, but not so long ago you had to take the choice of relying on your cold blooded self and ignore your humanly one...
It is only the beginning Herald, next thing you know you'll be someone else.”
Herald. ”...So where am i then, and how did you got here?”
Mammon. ”You're now put under one of their illusions.
Not only you but each one of the 7 that came in here..All are now facing the same thing.
They are trying to control and wash your brains.”
Herald is shocked by these claims, up to now he had never thought about this possibility.
”...EXPLAIN THEN...All of our powers?
And my meeting with Thoth...”
Mammon smiles. ”They've been doing this since forever, spells and illusions of this complicated level is nothing for them at this point.
They're all just to make it seem real and to sell you all in it.”
Herald. ”...Why can't i see your face?
You expect me to trust your words right off the bat?”
Mammon. ”No I am not, we can stay here as long as you want until you're convinced.”
Herald. ”...You said you're here to save me,
