36 Duellers In The Cellar (1/2)

Wisdom. ”We cannot risk not awakening his powers, he's what we were waiting for since the beginning of time.

The risk should be taken!

Love! Stay here and protect all bodies. If anything happens wrong i want you to inlease your powers.”

Love. ”Don't worry! I'll take care of what happens here.”

'Wisdom and Power both then closed their eyes and touched the side of their forehead with two fingers.'

'It seems that it's their way of teleporting inside of Herald's mind, where the Labryinth exists.

And so they do...'

'At this moment, Mammon is walking down a narrow road towards a door that seems to be the way out of all this Labrynith.

Herald is slowly regaining consciousness..'

”....Hey!

Let me..

Let me get on my feet!”

Mammon. ”Why so? You're tired it's alright let me carry you.”

Herald. ”..No! I said...Get me on my feet!!”

'Herald tries to move his body and gets down, which Mammon lets him to do so without any refusal or resistance.'

'Herald barely can stand up..'

He says. ”...What's that door?”

Mammon. ”That's the door that leads towards your awakening and then out of this illusion.

I know every path in this Labryinth and what it stands for.”

Herald takes a moment before replying.

”...Is..That so?

But...

What is the test?

I haven't done anything and am not sure...

Is there...Even a test??”

Mammon. ”..Yeah.

There is a test, what you've been going through in here is how you'll awaken your powers as a Monarch child.

By giving me your trust, you succeed the test and the door appears.

Doesn't that make sense to you, Mr Herald?”

'Herald was still drunk and exhausted he did not notice that the man's face appeared this time arround until now.'

'Tall strong body, short soft black hair, little beard, long symmetrical face with sharp glasses .

He looks like a business man...One who you know is good but cannot be trusted...'

'Herald may be drunk but did not completely lose his intelligence and smart thinking.'

”...If the test is actually real, then...How can you explain that Thoth himself told me about it?

Not only that..

UGH!! My goddamn head hurts...

Not only that but, even I was put outside the gate to get awakened..

Now that i think about..

What makes your Monarch child talk any more believable than being Atlantean??

You lured me into drinking, which i have not agreed to.. Then you proceeded to tell me about all that Ultra MQ project..

Not saying it doesn't sound logical or real as well..

But...”

*Mammon removes his glasses to clean them a bit as he's talking*

”Hmmmm..So you're still not convinced Mr.Herald.

It's a shame that you're giving one of the top presidents a hard time when he came personally for you.

We do realise your importance but you do not realise ours.”

Herald. ”..It's not that but, You have not yet convinced me truly...

You said this is all illusions and wicked ways used by what you call Terrorists.

Then you say this Labrynith is real, Thoth specefically informed me that i have to take these tests in order to get awakened.

Matter of fact.

I don't care what you say anymore sir, This is real and...

You're fake!!!”

*Mammon puts his glasses back on*

”Is that so...

Well, nothing short of what is expected from you Mr.Herald.

I thought for a second that i have gained your trust, but your spirit force is so high that it does not wanna succumb to me even when being not completely conscious...”

'Herald notices the change in Mammon's tone and even aura..

Its getting darker.'

”..So, i was right! You're fooling me...”

Mammon. ”I am not, what i said is mostly true...

*With an terrifying tone*
