Mike: So that's pretty much everything
Phil, Claire and Kingsley looked at Mike in utter confusion. After a while Kingsley shook his head.
Kingsley: And how would you expect us to believe that?
Phil: I believe him. I mean, what he just said mirrors exactly what I read in the book about...10 years ago.
Claire: How well are you going to remember something you read 10 years ago
Kingsley: Its possible, I guess but still what if he also read that book.
Mike: That book was written by myself.
They all turned to Phil for confirmation but he shrugged.
Phil: The book had no title or Author's name
Mike: Because we Sentinels are not supposed to reveal our names on books. Names contain power. Especially our birth names
Claire: You could have just written a fake name.
Mike: I do not lie unless necessary
Phil: You told us your name. we could use that against you
Mike: Mike isn't my birth name
Kingsley: So you lied?
Mike: It was necessary
Claire: So you pretended to be a butler all these years
Mike: The most needed crystal was at your house and the holder must be protected at all cost. Midas was bound to attack before immediately you got your crystal and gain your powers. especially yours Claire. One sentinel-Geras- was sent to destroy Midas before he gets to his full form. It was his punishment for having a child with a human and killing the child
Phil: Why would he do that
Mike: He thought it would pacify the Omniscient one.
Claire: wow?
Mike: When Midas didn't attack right after you got your powers so I figured that Geras had been able to destroy him so I left planning never to return. Only for me to go meet him back at Picerus in a dejected state .So Now i guess i still need to get you guys ready before Midas gets to his full form
Phil: But why didn't Midas claim the crystals before we found them and why didn't he attack us first
Mike: Midas cannot access the emerald in its raw state but he can suck in the owners essence and gain the powers. The emerald chooses its owner. He sent a demon to attack her first because with her power, he could heal within a few minutes and claim all the rest himself. He never thought you would be there otherwise he would have sent more of his minions.
Claire: And what exactly is my power.
Mike: Your power involves healing but it is not that powerful yet so you cannot fully regenerate a lost organ yet. Which brings us back to why I'm here. I need to train you guys before Midas arises and the first part of that is gathering all eight of you Realmkeepers
Claire: Realm-what-now?

Debbie looked at her forms with a slight frown. She had gotten admission to Harlem high, which was a good thing. The reason for her frown was that she was going to stay with her father who didn't even know the first thing about managing a house. The housekeeping was automatically hers now. She hadn't really thought about how it would feel, going back to Harlem again, meeting her father and meeting him again but she had to go now that she had superpowers.....or hallucinations. She couldn't decide which was true. But she couldn't also let her Grandma know that. It would give her a heart attack. It was most likely not hallucinations since her two best friends in Harlem had called her telling her they also had powers. That was also one of the reasons she applied for a transfer to Harlem high. She needed to find out more about this power thing and she knew just the person to help. She reached for her phone. As if on cue, the phone rang as soon as her hands touched them. She smiled as she glanced at the caller's name before picking the call.
Voice: Hello
Debbie: Hello Christian. How are you
Christian: Quite well actually. Is your car in yet?
Debbie: No not ye...[She is interrupted by a loud honking outside] It is now
Christian: Good! Meet me at the old place as soon as you get there
Debbie: It would be sunset by the time I arrive. What could my former private teacher possibly want with me by that time
Christian: Nothing sinister. Just please....
Debbie: Don't worry I'll be there. I have something I need to ask you
Christian: About your powers
Debbie: How did you.....
Christian: See you there
He hung up before Debbie could say anything else. Another loud honk from outside reminded Debbie that she had to go

Debbie quickly grabbed her bags and made for the door. Once outside, she dropped her bags in the boot of the open taxi and shut it with a loud bang making the driver wince. She entered the car as serenely as she could. Afterall she had a reputation to keep. Life as the best dancer in Hermantown was not easy
Driver: You ready miss?
Debbie: Get me there as fast as you can.
The driver nodded and sped off. The journey was a long. About an hour or two and all Debbie could do was play on her phone. She was not a fan of sightseeing. She opened her favourite game. Or at least her past favourite game. She hadn't played it for about two years now when she realized that he would never write back. She looked at the Garena logo on her phone screen as she recalled memories of them playing together. As expected, the game asked for an update which she performed quickly. She was wondering if she still had the skills to play this game or she had reduced to a beginner or a noob, as he would call it. The game reopened and she was soon immersed in it. So immersed that she didn't see the weird creature that had suddenly appeared in the middle of the deserted street . That is, until the car skidded to a halt
