Chapter 7 - A choice

Ender and Zack were talking about their daily lifes in the camp near the fire with chicken drumsticks in their hands, as Misha had gone to see where were Ruis and Sara.

" Yoo, this place is boring damn. Next time we will go to beach or water park."

Zack snorted, taking a bite on his drumstick.

" What you mean? The waterfall the winds and fields and so much more things are here. You need to open your eyes properly."

Ender spoke with irregular tone.

" Stop yapping."

Zack said with a grinn.

" You're the one!–"

Before he can finished his words, they both heard soft grating sounds from the waterfall.

They went to see what was there as Misha was carrying Sara and Ruis was with them too.

Zack and Misha helped Sara and layed her on a chair while Ender take Ruis to a stone slab.

" Who did this!?"

Zack asked, looking at Ruis.

" He was right. Ender was right. They really exist."

" What are you talking about?"

Misha spoke with confusion.

" You saw him."

Ender said with serious tone, looking at him.

" Not just him, a nightmare."

As he started telling what happened to them. Misha jaw slightly opened as she covered it with her hands. Zack sat on a nearby chair listening to his story while Ender two steps back, placing his hand on a tree.

" He even give me this card."

As he takes out the card the man give him in his pocket, Zack takes it from Ruis.

It was a old fashioned card with gray-red color, in the front was a strange number which doesn't belong to any country or state. In the back there was a message.

" What does it say?"

Ender asked curiously, gently hitting the tree.

" Think well before."

Zack replied as he gives it to Misha.

" So what now? What should we do?"

Misha said in a low tone.

Zack was silent along with Ruis, there was silence between all of them for a short time.

" We should do it."

Ruis finallys broke the silence between all of them.

" You're crazy!"

Zack exclaimed with anger expression.

Standing up from the chair.

" So what should we do? If any creature like that tries to harm us again, what can we really do? Get eaten by them hopelessly. Can't self defense or do a thing?"

Ender's words make Zack silent as he sits down in the chair.

" They're right Zack, we must do it. It's the only choice we have now."

Sara put her hand on his shoulder. Patting him.

" W– Why don't you guys understand it? We will be exposed to more threats, dangers."

Zack said with an awe, scared tone.

" At least we can protect ourselves then."

Ender said with calm tone, glaring at him.

" The fear of unknown is not just a fear. It's an instinct in buried in us."

Ruis said while continuing,

" What you are fearing is the fear of unknown right? We all are afraid of it. But that doesn't mean we should back off– maybe it was our fate that make us act like this and choose this decision."

" Do whatever you want. Don't ask me when things will go against us."

Zack lay his back on chair.

" If things will go against us, then we should be together, not leaving and surviving the situation. After all bad things good things will come too right."

Misha spoke with warm tone.

" Give me the card Misha."

Ender ordered it as she gave it to him.

He pulled out his phone and started dialing the number which was on the card.

There was silence between all of them as Ender called it, his hands little shaking as he takes it to his ear. The call wasn't being attained as he called it again but this time it wasn't too. He got anxious and called for the third time and time some one picked it.

They all come close to him as he had also turned on his speaker too.

"..Hello?"

Ender replied first as the person who was calling cut it from the other side.

" What?"

He whispered to himself.

Everybody got confused and started murmuring to each other.

With that, they heard light footsteps echoing through the forest and there was silence of animals and other things.To them the werid man was standing Infront of them. The girls back off few steps back while Zack and Ruis pushed Ender in the front. There was awkward silence until Ender spoked.

" We have made our decision. We want to join you."

The man takes out cigarette and it lights on its own as he started smoking it.

" Are you sure?"

He takes the cigarette out, glaring at them.

" Sure, pretty sure."

Ender said in anxious tone.

" Then... Let's start."

The cigarette from his hand disappeared as the place starts shifting and they were again there, the white fog with the water in the floor.

~ What?

Misha got shocked and confused as there were many expressions, hard to say what she was thinking. Along with her Zack also got stunned.

" My name is Sherlock Hermes. Master of the Cult 'Peace Revolters', as you have guessed by the name, we fight and maintain peace, not just in this world but in other worlds too."

He said while continuing,

" To join us, you need to become an Astran which is of course not easy, there are many trames ( paths in Latin) and each one of them grants special powers. Different from the other ones."

" What powers? "

Zack said with curiousity but also with anxious.

" There are up till 12 trames but some of are buried in history or are forgetten. The ones which are now and can be blended to your personality and soul are arknight, seius, spechser, matrix, curtain, reaper and flow."

" Can do you do it in simple terms?"

Misha said with a pleasing expression.

" Well, you all have a trait and power in your own body and soul right now and with a exact same or a little different potion that power inside you all can be awakened–However you need some very strong mental strength and resistance to withstand it, other wise well just think you won't be you."

" What does that mean? And how we can find out that which potion we need to consume in order to gain powers."

Ruis said with a pause.

" You need to accept your inner self and understand what trames are suitable for your personality. For example an Arknight needs to have warrior mindset with always fighting and sacrificing for his county and people, if you don't have that mindset you need to act until you have one. Or listen to your inner voice that what it wants?.Remember you have to agree your inner voice in order to fully consume a potion's effect."

~ My inner voice?

Ender was lost in his thoughts as Sara shakes him.

" When you have fully consume a potion you will start evolving from spiritual level, and becoming a 6th dimension being, basically a god. But this is your astral form or final form you can say, which of course you don't have to show off."

~ Astral 6th dimension form, that's a cheat code.

Zack thought with a slight smile on his face.

" When you have attain a 6th form, then there seven shifts with seventh one being the first one, you need to master your powers and abilities with also consuming potions that can advance your shifts. When you have reached the 0 shift you transcend into another dimension basically 7th dimension and there are total 11 dimensions."

" What?"

Ender said with a entangled face.

" Now for the potions."

Some potions appeared in everyone hands instantly. With a book in Sara's hand.

" Find it yourselves."

" Here?"

" Yes, don't worry you won't be hungry as your souls."

" What!?"

They exclaimed at him but Hermes disappeared.

" Well, we need to find it ourselves then."

Misha said while scratching her hair.

As they opened the book.
