Chapter 10: Truth Revealed
"She's gone. What do you have to say to me that you can't say to her?" Omega demanded of Angel angrily.
"Information. You'll decide if you want her to know by yourself."
"What information? I'm just trying to make sense of what's going on and what I am."
"I could tell. That's why I'm giving you information." Angel said knowingly.
"So tell me."
"Do you even know what you are?"
"I already said no!"
"Fine. You're a Jeweled One."
"A Jeweled what?"
"A Jeweled One. A humanoid life form with a random color of skin. Jeweled Ones also have fangs instead of canines and a large jewel on their forehead which allows them to use all 100% of their brains instead of only 10%. The jewel is what changes them. Also, their body needs change sometimes."
"Body needs?"
"Ways to keep living. One example I've seen is increased appetite. But there are far more bizarre needs than that. You'll have to find out your needs by yourself."
"If I can use 100% of my brain, why don't I feel any smarter?"
"It doesn't make you smarter. It allows your mind to use different psychic abilities depending on your personality and situation. Jeweled Ones seem to be made to battle."
"What if I don't want to battle?"
"Then you will die a painful death from an evil Jeweled One."
"Great," said Brian sarcastically, "sounds like a real win-win. Now, about what you said. Why do you know that's my weapon? I've never owned a weapon."
Angel picked the large broadsword up off a chair in the corner and offered it to Brian. "Take it." He said.
Brian grabbed the blade. The crystal on his forehead began to glow, along with the blade, then they both stopped. Brian was amazed. "What just happened?" he asked.
"Time for another lesson. When a Jeweled One is born, a magical weapon meant only for him is born at the same time. If you met Black, like you said, you've seen his Death Daggers. Blake also left this behind." He handed Omega the Justice Blade's holder.
"And this blade is mine," Brian said, as if in a trance, "all mine. The Justice Blade." He seemed to break out of the trance. "How'd I know the weapon's name?"
"Because you were meant for it. Any more questions?"
"A few. How's the blade magical?"
"It can kill Jeweled Ones much easier than other weapons. You might have noticed that, when hit with a human weapon, Jeweled Ones heal much more quickly."
"I've noticed. What's with the Windows?"
"If you mean the portals between worlds, I don't know. I started off in Dreamland and I intend to stay here, but other Jeweled Ones don't feel the same as me. There are good ones and evil ones. Beware the evil ones and seek out the good ones. Also, more Windows, as you called them, are growing than closing, if you saw them do that. I fear a universal war unless someone who will become a hero can put a stop to them."
"Next question is that I wasn't a Jeweled One originally, I was a human."
"And I was a Dreamlander. Jeweled Ones can be created rarely by unnatural causes."
"Next question, why is Black hunting me like an animal and trying to kill me?"
"What?" Angel looked surprised and puzzled at the same time.
"So you don't know?"
"No. I've never known Black to hunt people. I do know he sometimes takes orders from people. He's a rogue-for-hire. But again, I've never known him to take jobs where he hunts people."
"So I'll want to find whoever's ordering Black."
"Yes. I do know that before he was hired, he was last seen in Hyrule."
"You have connections, then." Brian concluded.
Angel smiled. "I have my people. Why were you attacked by Blake?"
"I wasn't attacked. I saw him jump through the inn window and I followed him."
"Yes," Angel said, "but a new question is, why was Blake attacking the inn? He's also a rogue-for-hire and does jobs with his brother often."
"Next question, how can I do this?" Omega changed his white arm into Tekno's robotic arm.
"HOLY CRAP!!!" Angel yelled, jumping backwards.
"Okay, so that's not normal among Jeweled Ones, huh?"
Angel had already calmed down. "No," he said, "I've never seen that before. Is that... Tekno's arm?"
"Yeah, a light shot from his jewel into mine and then I found I could do this."
"Weird. You'll have to figure that one out by yourself."
"Okay, last question. Is it normal among Jeweled Ones to go temporarily insane when they're injured? Because I do and when I do, all I want to do is destroy."
"Again, I know nothing about that," Angel said, "you'll have to find that out for yourself also."
"So, I'll die if I don't want to kill?" Omega asked, obviously not getting over that fact.
"Yes. It is every Jeweled One's destiny to fight and kill."
"Great." Omega said sarcastically. "You can let my friends in now."
Omega was surprised by the number of people that came in. He had only expected Ashley, Nick and Mark. He was glad to see his friends again, and they spent the rest of the day talking about how they ended up at the inn. Ashley and Mark were the only ones that noticed that Omega started off his part of the story on the day he found Mark, he didn't say anything about before then. And he didn't say anything about what Angel had said to him except how to recognize a Jeweled one.
Then night came.
In the middle of the night, Omega was moving around in the dark lobby of the inn. A light turned on, and Omega saw it was Nick. "Leavin' so soon?" Nick asked. "I thought ya' wanted to find yer' friends."
"Yeah, that was this morning," Omega replied, "but I have new information and now I've got to go it alone and find answers for myself."
"I'm coming wit' ya'."
Omega sighed. "No, Nick. This time, I have to go it alone without you. Sorry."
"I'm not takin' no fer' an answer."
"Fine. Go get that bag over there."
"Where?" Nick turned, but then he felt a slight pain in his back and everything started to get dark, and he started to feel groggy and tired. He turned sluggishly to find Omega with Tekno's arm, and the gun part was sticking out.
"It has tranquilizers, too." Omega's voice echoed in Nick's head. "Sorry Nick," Omega said as Nick passed out.
Omega left in the direction of where the Window from Hyrule was, all the while, the words Angel said echoing in his head. 'Destined to fight and kill...destined to fight and kill...'

Whoa! He left after all that! My updates will be a little more frequent (if you can believe that) from now on because I'm one of those writers that just develops the story as he goes along, and I'm as interested in what's happening as you might be.
