Chapter 16 - Strange

"So what will happen now?"

Ender walked through the void of space with others, timelines in his glaze were either destroyed like glass frames in the void and corrupted which were slowly decaying timelines.

"Timelines will eventually recover themselves because each one contains a cor a heart that allows them to recreate themselves so you shouldn't worry about it."

Leon said from the front his eyes seeing through the lower layers to a world where many worlds were connected to it.

"Oh that's interesting. But what about the corruption effects."

Ruis glanced through the higher realms on his side which were shinning like stars in the deep void.

"The corruption effects are neutralize by the core too but of the core is corrupted or destroyed which normally it shouldn't be as it exists in a inaccessible different dimension... Then the timeline is end."

Leon spoke as they walked through the lower layers now their world was Infront of them.

"So can't we reverse it?"

Ruis intrigued.

"We can but only through the orders of higher beings... Like us."

His dark tone became causal in a instant.

"Oh so mean higher dimensional astrans."

Ruis expression lightened. As Leon gave a lazy nod with a smile on his cheek.

"Damn this moment is a part of my life now."

Ender mutters to himself. Walking behind Ruis and Leon as Zack was with him.

"You acting like I don't exist."

Zack spoke with his usual grin.

"Shut up asshole."

Ender replied with flat tone like he was perturbed of what happened earlier.

"Bitch."

Zack expression became severe.

***

It was night as cold winds of the tress passed through the forest, rustling through leaves as some drift off the tress. The moonlight reflecting in the lake as Sara was combing her hair in her tent. Beside her Misha was laying in her back with a wet cloth in her forehead as if she has a fever.

A sudden sound came from the outside as she wears her ponytail and goes outside.

A portal appeared with a white light all over the place. So much that she covered her eyes instinctively. When the light dimmed and she removed them, her eyes became blanked.

"Hey there are we late?"

Leon waved his hand to Sara but she didn't have any response. As if she was in deep thoughts in her mind.

"Uh is anything wrong?"

Zack spoke with mixed up expression.

"Hmm think what is not wrong."

Sara replied coldy her eyes fixed at them.

~We are about to be done.

Ender thought as he expected what she was gonna do right now to them.

He used telepathy to others.

~Run

~Why?

Leon mental voice was mixed up.

As Sara charged at them instantly Ender Ruis and Leon managed to run but Zack was caught by her. They run several meters and could heard Zack's screams along with Sara's rage.

"You know how long I'm babysitting her!"

As she striked her elbow to his back.

"She ain't a child!."

WHAM!

"Why were you so late!?"

CRACK!

"Do you how many calls I had on my phone!?"

BAM! BAM!

"How much efforts I had to make so that Harry and Anne don't come here!?"

His screams were so loud that the whole forest silent for a while.

"Damn she's crazy."

Leon who had put his hand to a tree branch.

"That's her when she break her patience bar."

Ender picks his ear up, still hearing Zack's screams.

"Well I do feel for him but I'm indeed lucky that wasn't me."

Ruis said with a sigh.

"Same here."

Ender and Leon said at the same time.

It was day and the sun has arisen with the birds chirping from the horizon and sun shining all over the region.

As Sara came out of her tent with her coffee. Just beside the campfire Zack was laying down as he still has bruises on his face.

Leon and Ender were sitting in chair as Ender broke the silence first.

"Okay sorry about the last day. But thanks that you hide our secret."

He said with a chuckle. As she turned her face away from him.

"She has very intense ferver."

She replied oddly after a pause.

"Well I do forget but yeah cases like her do happen from time to time but are rare. When an entity distrubs between an awakening.

There are two possiblities. First that the person loses their powers. Second they regain but with some abnormality."

"What abnormality?"

Ruis said with curious eyes.

"I don't know honestly."

He shrugged.

"So what should we now?"

Sara said with a pause.

"We must wait for her to wake up and if she still has her powers then it's good... Otherwise she won't be going with us."

Leon glanced at his surroundings. With a slight concerned tone.

"Then what about me? I'm not an astran yet too."

Sara replied with a anxious tone, gripping the empty chair beside her harder.

"Well do you bring your potion with you."

Ruis spoke in his usual tone.

"Uh no."

"Oh... Well it doesn't matter anyway."

Leon said in his usual tone. As he snap his fingers and potions appeared instantly in air, levitating Infront of Sara.

"Choose yours and yeah Ruis take her to your dimension."

"Huh. Can't I awaken here."

Her face slightly flushed, barely noticeable.

"You can but it has a risk of attracting entities like in Misha's case so of you to do it here then it's your choice but if you awaken there dimension then no one will fly... Except you."

Leon glanced at Ruis who was rubbing his chair oddly.

Sara face was in deep thoughts as she spoke with a pause.

"... Fine."

"Good luck then."

He said with a smile. A warm smile.

"We should go now."

As Ruis extended his arm and a portal appeared, it's light covered all over the place and when it dimmed. Sara goes into it first then Ruis. It disappeared the next moment.

"Uh is something going on between these two?"

He whispered to Ender.

"I don't know but I do noticed that her reactions are strange lately.. Only to him."

His face had mixed up expressions. Hard to judge from his face what he was thinking.

"Who knows what going on between these two?"

As Leon leaned to chair.

"I don't care anyways."

Ender does the same.

"Hey Zack! Wake up asshole."

Zack was still laying on the ground. Unconscious.

***

There were countless lands everywhere with huge mountains on them. Strong winds flowed everywhere as a portal appeared in one of them. Two people walking out of it.

"What the hell?"

Sara covered her eyes unconsciously.

Ruis behind her had not even flinched as the flows through him. Suddenly they stopped in an instant.

"Huh?"

She glared at him with one eyebrow upward.

He had a slight smile on his face as he scratches his hair.

"Was that you?"

Her expression was unreadable.

"Do you see anyone here beside me?"

He spoke with a laugh.

"What's funny in it?."

Her arms were crossed as she spoke in irritated tone.

"You.."

She hides her face from his sight, rubbing it.

~ Why did I do that?

"Uh is anything wrong?"

His face became slightly concerned.

"Nothing, let's do what we are here for."

She turned around to his sight, not looking at him.

"Sure then."

He gave a faintly smile.

As he takes out a luxury steel cup from the air. Giving it to her. She poured the potion down carefully before throwing the empty glass bottle. She gradually takes the cup to her lips. Smelling it's unreal scent. Which was like a wine.

"Just drink it."

GULP!

She drank it way faster and without hesitation. As Ruis extended his arm to her and within next moment, she was in a yellow crystal conscious.

"Good luck then."

He said with a smile. An slightly exaggerated smile. Sara couldn't hear what he said, she could only saw his smile before her eyes started to burn. As she covered them in pain before going to oblivion.

"Well I guess I should stay here for now."

Ruis sat on a rock, looking at the sky with a slight smile.
