Chapter 19: The Final Pieces

Jack de Lames' POV-

Jack watched as his Minions waged war upon the world, this would keep the Dragons and their Council occupied long enough for him to get the Sword of Eons and claim dominion over this world, everything was falling into place, he knew how to get to it too…he knew he had to activate the four stone spheres outside the Council before the Sword would be accessible.

But then he remembered the Dragons of New York, they had survived his initial strike…but once he had the Sword, he'd crush them just like the insignificant insects they were.

"For more than 500 years I've been waiting for this day…the day the Sword of Eons will finally be mine." Jack thought to himself.

Suddenly Aiden Blackmen appeared out of the shadows, "Master…we are happy to report that all major cities of each continent are pre-occupied at the moment, now would be the time to attack the Council and take it."

"Yes…but I sense something, my Minions in New York…I cannot sense them." Jack told him.

"Yes…apparently Mr. Long and the Knight Twins are more formidable then we first believed." Aiden told him, trying to avoid eye-contact.

"I see…well it makes no difference, no doubt they know about the Sword now. But it's not like they can stop me, none of them can." Jack told Aiden, "How is Rose adapting?"

"A lot better than expected." Aiden told him. Jack then got up from his throne only to teeter a bit, Aiden caught him, "Master are you alright?"

"Yes my servant…it's just, it's been awhile since I've had to summon these many Minions. It's exhausting really…but once I have the Sword, it will not matter." Jack told him.

The Council's POV-

The Council couldn't believe what they were seeing, Jack was obviously determined to get the Sword this time, they knew they did not have the strength the original Council that defeated Jack did, but they had to try…try and stop Jack from accessing the Sword.

Meanwhile in the Council Library…

Michael went in search of anything on the Council History, about its construction…eventually Michael and Jack ran into a woman that looked to be in her early to mid-20s, she had red clothes on mostly, a few tattoos on her upper-arm and on her lower back as well, she adjusted her glasses as she looked down at them. "Well Michael…wasn't expecting you back so soon, guess you didn't find what you needed?"
"No Briar…we found exactly what we needed, the thing is we need to find out about the construction of the Council Building." Michael told her.

"And what's he doing here?" Briar asked, looking at Jack.

"Oh, I told you about my little brother right?" Michael asked.

"I'm here to help…" Jack told him.

"Alright…right this way please." Briar told them as she lead them through the labrynith that was the Council Library, eventually she got on one of the step ladders and went up to the upper shelves and came back down with four books, "Here's your basics on it…I don't know what you'll be needing them for though?"

"Believe me Briar…this should help us plenty, but if there's any other information we need we'll try to come and find you." Michael told her.

As soon as they found a table to sit down at Michael looked at Jack and said, "Get your laptop ready…"

After about four hours Michael and Jack had gotten through all four books, Michael looked ready to drop, Jack typed in the last bit of info into his laptop. "Okay…show me the visual now Jack…" Michael told him, Jack and Michael stared at it, "We better show this to Jake and the others."

Later that day Michael and Jack returned to their place they showed Jake, Fu, Christian, and Tem what they had been doing, "With help from Briar…and a few books we found, Jack and I have been able to do this…"

Jack then brought up a 3D image of the entire Council Building and it's surroundings for out to 100 yards. Just then everything became color coded, "You're probably wondering why we did that…well it's simple really, we just took part of the Council building and color-coded them to show how long ago they were created or built, the green areas are structures that were built anywhere from present to 100 years ago, the blue areas are101-500 years ago, the yellow 501-1000 years ago…"

"And the red?" Jake asked.

"1000+…basically the areas we think the Sword of Eons might be." Michael told them.

"But what of the four stone domes outside of the Council Building…they're in the red too." Christian pointed out.

"We're…not sure…" Jack told them.

"Yeah, much of the red areas have little or no reference in the books we looked in." Michael told them.

"But you're certain that's where the Sword is?" Jake asked.

"90 Positive…"

"Then let's get back there before anything else happens!" Jake told them.

"I'm coming with…you'll need all the help you can get." Tem added.

Meanwhile…

Jack stood at a cliff over-looking the Council Building, "It has changed…quite significantly since I last saw it, no matter…all I have to do is get to the chamber in the center of the place and I'll finally have what's rightfully mine." He thought to himself, he turned around to face what seemed like a hundred of his cloaked followers, "Mes sectateurs fidèles, ce soir nous prenons ce qui a légitime été le mien pendant plus de 500 années...L'épée des ères nous attend pour le libérer d'elle est prison, le ce soir est la chute du Conseil...et l'élévation du dominion de Jack de Lames !"

With that he got a roar of cheers, he looked at the three followers who were right behind him, "I'm expecting you three to guard me while I make my way to the chamber in the center of that building…and while I'm reciting the incantation that'll activate the four fire stone and free the sword."
