I don't own Timecrest right belong to Sneaky Crab

Chapter 7 we are here and we're still in peace and safety. I hope you enjoy this awesome chapter in the King Service. I told her they'll be an age up and I was right. Everyone will get an age up now.

Some years pass, I say some because they are because the characters age a little bit also King Janice takes notice of Luther's magic to solidify. I have other talents. This genius starts to show through now too. The king wants his talents, rewarding them, giving them the best of everything.

Making aura containers and I really in pieces to make bricks for the new palace also Scarlet and Luther's relationship gets closer together closer and closer to one another.

And so becomes a full-on guard more than he has ever been in the quarantine zone before all right let us get back to it.

Everyone ages up to 10 years

This will be 10 years later

Also, this probably will be another mixed chapter.

I don't mean everyone ages up to 10 years as in double their age or whatever that's not what I mean ignore that.

What I mean is that Luther's age is up to 10 years old everyone else moves up to whatever year that would be close to that year. OK.

If there was an author note, I didn't put the author note all that is an author note end of the author's note

Luther

I was now 10 years old Scarlett has been taking care of me and training me and I would go outside and train with my other siblings. I'm sad that Scarlet can't come with me but what else am I supposed to do? She can't be spotted. By her brother or what happened to her all those years ago when I was too what happened again? I have to get stronger so I can take care of her.

But I trained with the others with Riley and others even Zoe was now old enough to spar with us now so were me Riley Elise Zoe and Ash, my older sibling. Riley was the one training us along with Scarlet, but Scarlett can't train me out here, I'll see her when I come back inside for now. I have to continue this training. I have to concentrate too. I can't lose concentration.

I have to spend my time with studies training outside with the others training of Scarlet with the watch and working in the lab here and there I built my small one, but I'm fine with it. My father has a lab on the third floor and he built me one too room two is my building but my room I don't sleep there. I'd rather sleep on the second floor in the living quarters near Scarlet. I don't wanna be away from her if her brother breaks in and takes her away. It's appropriate for me to be in her room with her, I'm not a baby anymore.

But I would work in the lab and then come back. It's better than having to be up there alone and I can't have her alone with me so I built myself a simple robot companion model now I have a companion too besides Scarlet let me have it because it was simple and a simple robot companion for myself, I'll leave model one with Scarlet. He'll keep an eye on her while I'm out here. One day when I'm older I will marry her even though she's way older than I am. I don't care mom says I have to wait till I'm at least over 18. I'm fine with that.

I am the youngest, after all, Scarlett would reach down and hug me at times, but not right now. Also, being the youngest means I have to be on the lookout. I saw the guards coming into the shadows. I said we all ducked inside the shadows sign. I think we should go back to the big building he agreed and said Riley we can't be on here all the time with those guards. The family has to obey these rules when we see the guards we have to go back inside. Other humans were fine, but not us, not our family came on the sign for us and we filed back inside the building can at least stay in the library. I asked not this time to Riley. We need to go back upstairs right now so we can be seen. We don't have a door in our library. Oh yeah, I forgot about that. There is no door in the library. It's all open.

We went up the elevator we all now had a key every single one of us Ash and I had to have one key each, and Riley Annalise, and Zoe were also showing some magical potential was nice. I have to go now said Riley, why do we always question Riley when she leaves there are guards out there, I'm gonna go work with Dr. Crawford. I've been doing that for the last several years can be a good healer. She said you can do OK Annelise noted. I will keep an eye on them said Annalise good thank you Annelise said Riley.

And with that Riley was gone we went upstairs. Ash put the key in first and we went upstairs to the living quarters there you all sent Mother Mom we're fine. Send and send Annalise. I know it along as well and Zoe too good someone's been waiting for you, son Scarlet I explained as I ran to her like always she said you're always full of energy only when I see you I said when I smiled at her, she patted my head. Well, it's good to see you alive. It's getting dangerous out there precious one I heard her say that makes me even more. I'll have to take care of you I said, I could reach her now and hug her enough to hug me better than that you're growing so much growing and growing and growing.

I just nodded and smiled up at her and she sent me down below her. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I said and she said it same time did you see my brother she asked I nodded. That's why we rushed back inside so he wouldn't spot us good sooner probably won't be safe enough for you all to even fight outside. I heard her say we have to once in a while Scarlet, we wanna make sure we're strong, I said what did you just call me? I smiled at her. You can't keep calling me those names yet we're not old enough yet. You aren't at least sorry. Just slipped out of my mouth and hugged her legs.

One of the other guards came to us the other day or not just the other day but when you were out there fighting and practicing which one I'm not sure but one that we kind of trusted a little more than most of the other guards, they said they needed you to make them some containers we saw what you can do with them and make or containers. Remember, I was able to put my container-like crystals teleportation first of these containers that I have made.

All right, then I sat as I went up going back to the elevator to go up to my lab. You might want to get cleaned up first precious one ice. I heard her say of course I said I'm not as well. Then eat lunch you're growing and you need to eat more. Yes yes, I agreed to that too. You get cleaned up and then we'll have lunch. I heard her say Miss is making lunch. Was making lunch. How great I love eating Mom's lunch.

Did Riley have a lunch? She took it with her. I said looking over my shoulder she's going to Dr. Crawford's to work on her healing. Of course, I just wanted to make sure she had lunch with her.

That is good then we went to eat lunch after I got cleaned up and of course, I sat next to my Scarlet Ash that somewhere on the other side of the table, and Zoe and Annalise said on the other side of Mom and Dad the only one that was missing in her chair was Riley, but Riley was out doing her thing with Dr. Crawford. I was proud of my older sister.

She wanted to be well a healer so she went and did those things after I was done I went to check on my order containers and model one to help me with those things I went up to the lab.

Also, I wanted to check on something else I was working on things and ways for us to get out of these quarantine zones without me having to fight and kill anyone. Hopefully, I could figure out how to get us out if I expose Janice for the fraud he is then I could fix everything.

And then we can be free. We can be free and we can live out our lives. We'll still have to live in hiding though because of Scarlet, but we can figure that out on our own.

But most of the other humans will be free at least that's what I'm hoping for whatever it was I needed for the cure for the disease if I can make this cure, maybe everything will turn out fine too. I told one not to use it until I have it, he understood and said yes Luther, I will not, your containers are almost complete. He said my robot companion thank you model one I said I found some liquid I really in one day and I made it into well solid not really a brick, but I made it solid and played with it for a while I wanted Scarlet to see I did, but I hardly ever invited her into my lab much.

But I decided to invite her up today.

I wanted her to see my progress.

Scarlet

Luther invited me up to his lab I fell. I walked up, took the elevator up to the lab floor, and followed the signs so I found his room. He was the only one with special panels that I could touch model one also knew I was coming and told Luther that I was there Scarlett was here model one voice said to let her in, I heard Luther say as I walked inside his beautiful clean lab marveling at everything around me, I looked at all the liquid. I am around me. Why didn't look at it, he told me all about it and he had me take his hand to show him what he was doing with it making a solid stone out of it he knotted and then said yes Scarlet I'm able to do this. I'm able to put my energy into these to make liquid I am solid. I'm also able to make other things too. These containers he said explaining how they worked I can make these containers do different things, but I might need your help if you want to make one for me with me Scarlet.

What do you mean I asked as I took his hand in my own, squeezing his small little hand in mine I mean, I heard you wanted to make an order container yourself like an amulet of some kind. Yes, I want to make a container like you you said you wanted to make an amulet I have the provisions for it. All you need is these or containers. They're empty for one of these crystals. All you have to do is concentrate your energy on Scarlet, who else are you gonna get to do this with you have no magic no but we can store magic in these later if we need to kinda like an instant cast like sing one did I sing with instant casting magic and making the Latin method, Luther explained it to me the just figured out how to make instant magic by mixing the aura from both sides of the body. We were able to instant cast magic quicker than having it from one side to the other side of magic.

When will you be ready for the watch? I asked soon. He said I'll be ready to activate it soon and I'm glad you handed it to me and sent my energy to it Scarlet. I haven't been talking to the watch in a while because I passed it to Luther, OK then I'll get it activated sooner or later don't worry I wasn't worried he was smart. I know he could do this. This little boy is so smart. He's so a genius. I watched him work. OK, then I will do one too. I said picking up one of the containers. How do I do it show me by concentrating my magic into the crystal was able to form magic into it there he said now it should work the crystal glowed orange he told me it was warm in my hand. Your magic is stored inside you have made the I was proud of myself. If we can get out here out of these quarantine zones you could become master of fire, I could become, but I didn't want to be the type of person who would say that I could. I smiled at my little charge, my feet sitting at his little desk.

Also saw some fabric that he was working with for his jacket that he had the align his jacket with for the pockets. What are you gonna do with that? I'm gonna try and make something with those and see if I can make some kind of infinity pouch kind right now I've only been able to get the fabric to a certain shape at the moment but soon I'll get it to do whatever I'd like and hopefully, more than a few items won't That be amazing yes I said that'll be great that you'll be able to do all these things and more.

Also, I know the message that King Janice sent us. He said he wants me to help him with some projects for exchange. He will give us high status in these quarantine zones. We already kinda do fathers. Your father is the ambassador. I said I know Luther said, but I can get a status for motion, I could become something brilliant with the status I can protect you even more my Scarlet. He said you do. He says your brother is getting more and more powerful and calming the ranks more and more even though he wants to stay in these quarantine zones because of you eventually, Janice is going to move him out of the quarantine zones and into Volder as a full-time guard somewhere else not in the quarantine zones but in the kingdom itself he's coming closer and closer to Janice. I'm the worst Scarlet what are you fearing my precious I said I got his level.

I fear that Janice will have more favor for him, but if I can get the king's favor, we can get our freedom and we can leave, but I don't know how good that will be Folger and my Anna and Dad are doing it. They're doing their best to help out.

Yeah, I know. I said he just looked at me. Those big eyes just stared back at me. I hugged him proud of him. He's a lot stronger than I thought he would be well. Let's see. I'm proud of myself too.

I was able to make an order container too maybe you should have a lab with me. He said you could work on fire or containers like this I noted that would be not a bad idea I said I could help you out and you can get other people to help with your containers with magic yes that would be nice too.

We can get light and dark wind and earth water think of the possibilities. I'm trying to make one for time, but that's the reason I want to get in contact with the time, and one of the reasons I want to get in contact with the time manipulator he said, I feared that, but I couldn't stop him. I know he's been wanting to get in contact with the watch soon. My time a Timecrest is almost over. I know that much.

And he's been trying to make the crunch him for the last several months, but I don't know if he can get it done in time well I guess we'll figure we'll get to that when we get to it. I set up an area in the lab with him my little research tables and everything you can't make this you're sleeping area. I teased him. Why not he asked because I'll be up here and then I'll see your bed, or you can't be sleeping when I'm up here I teased him. He laughs.

But I continued to work with him as we put together these containers and gathered as much magic as we could to make them want to profit off of me he said, taking my hand and his own annoyed and knowing this, but he knew that the vans would want this one day most of his inventions and everything and his talents for making I am I knew that.

I know that's what he would want more than anything and I know that Janice wants to profit off of him. I can't keep him sheltered forever, my precious child, and then he asked me the disturbing news. Did you have the baby that your brother planned and you all those years ago, the baby died I said my body was too pure so it died in the womb. I said he knotted and smiled good. What would you have done with that if he hadn't father would've thrown him outside the boundaries of the quarantine zone or outside our house to die I said oh really I guess that would make sense concentrate in front of him, changing it from liquid to solid smiles smiling at me and his work too.

Then I left the lab after I was done doing what I was doing and done watching him for a while. I left dinner will be in a little while. I said he looked up and smiled. I'll be down soon. I know you will be precious. I said as I left the room.

Emily, we have a real prodigy on our hands I thought wow I hope that things turned out well for him and us too.

The next day

Luther

We have people coming to visit our house and our building today luckily soul is among the group that is coming. That's a good sign and relief and I'm glad that he was moved away back into Volder and not in our quarantine zone even though he wanted to stay Janice needed him. He needs him for, I guess a higher-ranking position, but today was a big day for me and my dad. Today we were going to become architects for his palace. He heard about my magical potential and smartness that I can solidify. I am so I had to make sure I was bricked for him for his palace that he wanted to rebuild.

And we were going to the castle today only me and my dad and mom Scarlett was going to be in charge of everyone else including Ash. Scarlet cannot come with us because her soul would be there and I cannot let a soul see her. I hugged her. I'll be back soon, my love, why did you call me she answered Because you are you will be soon oh yes, I'm sorry. I hugged her Abby back. Scarlet is good. OK, you don't need to worry about me. She said, but I'll make sure your siblings stay out of trouble. It's OK I'll be not here. Riley said I'll be gone for a while to Dr. Crawford's to work anyway and I will make sure Ashli stays out of trouble. Of course, she will Annelise Scarlet. I can count on Riley too, and Zoe is my older little sister too. I love you too. Little one. Zoe smiled at me now let's go. I said to my parents and get this over with.

I don't know what he wants, but we'll see i'm not sure what he wants me to do. I guess what to see when we get there. My mother said as we left the quarantines down to go to Volder is my first time there since the trials and I was only a baby when we went there so I hadn't seen that since then.

We entered the Voran city and walked to the Voran Palace. I hope Scarlett's OK alone Annelise is there. She'll keep an eye on her. I want into the Palace surrounded by guards welcome. The high commander said to us the prodigy had arrived. You will do a lot for our king won't you, simply commander I will do my best. Can we see some of your talents? Shouldn't we wait till we're in front of the king my mother said, of course, said the high commander this way.

The king will see you now we walked inside well it was him the time crest I didn't understand. I don't have the watch if that's what you're asking. No yes, I don't know yet. Said Janice looking at me. You don't have to call me King Janice just Janice he says, only when you're not in front of my guards, it's fine if you come, you can call me informally by my name, simply not in front of him. What do you want me to do your majesty? I asked trying to be respectable as best as I could.

I need you to make a really in brick for my new palace that I'm instructing you and your father will order checked will build this palace together. I am pleased with what your father did with the railroads and I want to see what you can do to help with the architecture of this building with your eye really and bricks also, I would like for you to profit your containers to us or any other inventions you make if you do, I will reward you handsomely and your family will be safe if things bad happen as what I asked. I know that this what am my guard is eyeing your best friend Scarlet. I will keep her safe from him if you work for me, Luther, you will have a contract with me for many years then I'll set you and your family free from the quarantine zones you mean it also I will surrender my kingdom to you and you can kill us. You can kill us if you like I know that soul wants to run away, but I will surrender my kingdom to you if you do everything I say, and if you do exactly what I tell you, I'm just Luther you a Timecrest he said I can sense it off of you.

Well, your majesty, sir I do want to become a time age in the future then we should change our last names. I heard my mother say oh yes, it's Janice. I can help with that paperwork if you'd like Mrs. Reed, you can change your last name to Timecrest, excellent that'll be done too like I said your family and friends will be safe as long as you work for me Luther and if you become the biggest prodigy in the world for me, I will spare you and your family. What do you say?

Is the very generous, generous author, your majesty I'll take your deal. Excellent you won't regret it and I will not harm you or your family even if I decide to harm humans your family will be spared not just because of you but because your father is the ambassador for your quarantine zone, and I am sorry that my guard attached your friend all those years ago. I will make sure that doesn't happen again. I'll even have them assigned to a new zone the pop will not harm you ever again.

Add a simple note a shake Janice's hand OK my father and I will work for you in return. I will make sure barbecue chips are waiting for you King Janice said I know that's what you like so I'll make sure that they are in the portal every time, your payment does your service to me as well thank you I will make sure the reserved for you and anything else you would need reserved for you and your family special. We reserved the boat for your family and your comfort.

You'll be in service to me for a few years. I'm not sure exactly when but you will know when and I will not let you know when your time is up. Sounds good to me. I said anything else your majesty no just don't disappoint me Luther I will not your majesty, I promise.

And with that, we were left, we returned to the quarantine zone, which is the train ride back home and we returned to the house. I told Scarlet I was home and told her everything that Janice told me about so leaving us alone and everything she smiled at me as long as I didn't disappoint Janice, I said I do everything. He tells me and me. I didn't tell him about your Amul yet, but next time if I ever do see Janice, I will tell him I will tell the king about your ambulance. If not, you could tell him Scarlett OK then I will do that Scarlett said, or you can pass that message to him for me. I will, my beloved, I said, as I hugged her, she ruffled my hair like always then I went back upstairs, eager to get back to work and she followed me We were going to work together.

I want in this chapter there and here I know this is a good place to stop and I think it's a good place to stop this chapter. I think the next chapter will deal with Luther being the prodigy. Also Scarlet putting in her word for the Ignace amulet For the protection of their family all right then I will see you in the next chapter.

next chapter chapter 8
