I tore across the endless fields of grain, weaving between herds of stray souls and spindly trees. Camp training made an appearance of value more than naught. I found myself at last at an obsidian palace, scattered with the gentle curvatures of towers and pillars, and the upward slopping openings.I jogged over to a deep foreboding threshold. Its shadow Omitting me minuscule.
My stomach wrenched and rolled, attempting to break loose of the smothering clasp of my body. I summoned my will and thrust open the cool metal ! the room echoed, the door crashing against the wall. Soft uncanny laughter its only reply. Blood rushed to my face, olive cheeks gradually getting painting with rose.
My father sat perched on his throne. Laughter spilling out of the usually desolate grim lined he had finished restraining the emotions of amusement from his lips, I ventured to speak.
"Father?" I politely questioned, " if I may be so bold, why have you summoned me?"
"I have a quest for you," he replied all evidence of laughter vanished from his tongue and face, only a heavy mask in its place, a mask I had inherited.
"The quest I have for you is one of large importance. The gods of followers blind to their origin, except for their guardians or caregivers as you might call them their Ymbryne. This community has fallen under grave civil war only one boy standing in the way of its destruction."
After finishing a swift explanation of peculiars he began to brief me on my cover.
" You will join joint therapy sessions with Jacob because your stories are so similar and your grandparents lived in the same children's home, we will use the Weights greed for Ymbrynes against him. The weight disguised as a psychiatrist will convince Jacob and 'your's' parents that going to the island will give you both some clarity and help you move on. His plan of finding the loop. This will get you to the loop with a good cover story as not arouse suspicion so you can help defeat the weights. "
And that was how I came to be sitting on a tattered crimson couch with a terrible lier.
