Chapter 19:

Non-existent future

Light through my window


Light hit in our eyes and we felt danger from every side. We tried to use our abilities, but they didn't work. And we heard serious rough voice:

"So his prediction was right, we have intruders. Welcome to Techno world Mrs. Aurelia and mister Yosei. It's pure pleasure to have two of you here, with all soul artifacts. And don't worry about your abilities, we just have our method to block them."-We looked around and saw a gigantic man, two meters tall and with broad shoulders, surrounded by soldiers in technological suits and with strange weapons.

"Our apologize."- A voice was heard behind him and a short man stepped out behind him, he was certainly mage, and way more dangerous then the big guy, he continued:

"We have an unpleasant incident with a magician from outside, and you two for sure, knew her, So please, take our precaution."- We are in big trouble here, they definitely know more about us and we don't have our powers. And I tried to feel , why our magic doesn't work the waves of interrupting magic! I signaled to Aurelia, but it wasn't unnoticed:

"You two what are you doing!?!?! Stay still!!!"-Big guy started screaming at us, but it was too late, I met interrupting waves with mine own and Aurelia tried to stop time, but short mage was already in front of us and attacked, we dodged, but was caught from behind. And short mage started speaking:

"My name is A and this guy is B, and you should not try anything funny, I have this."-He showed his arm and on his finger was ring with eye and he said with telepathy:

"It's sees future and I know why two of you here, I'm gonna help you, But this guys doesn't share the same enthusiasm. So please play along. And yeah, most of peoples here hate outsider, so be careful."- We had no choice but to believe in him.

"Let's take him to the system judge."- Said B and his soldiers lead us.

"The system is like a god for them, but in reality it's gates leading up."- Explained mage. 

At first we walked through the city and all the people turned around, but their interest quickly faded when they saw B. After that they put us in the flying car and interruption ended. I guessed that it's because cars fly by magic here. Flying over, Aurelia and I had no choice but to admire the city and talk. B uttered angrily:

"You are prisoners and must ride in silence!!! And even better if you two will look at the floor!"- We continue to fly silently, to not provoke him. We flew for about ten hours on the highest building. I prepared one weapon, it's was a little knife and it seemed like no one noticed. We were dragged to the spacious roof. I felt magic interruption again. And B commanded to us:

"Give me all soul artifacts, as long as I'm kind."- And we heard telepathic voice:

"Give him them, I'm gonna destroy the magic interrupter."- We pulled all artifacts. And heard telepathic voice again:

"Such fools"- And A just stubbed B in the back. He grabbed all artifacts and run to the gate. All  guardians stayed still in confusion, But interrupting magic truly disappeared after B was stabbed, we destroyed guards and slowly walked after A. He already tried to open gates and laugh:

"THIS IS MY VICTORY!"- What a shame, he didn't even checked the artifacts and that they all didn't had soul. We called him out without letting him know about it. He looked at us in madness. But Aurelia stopped time and I used my shadow knife and his hand was on the floor he screamed in pain:

"But how, it's not future that I saw!"- he looked at us with a genuine question. 

"There is no reason for us to answer it."-And everything was decided in the moment. IN reality we fed information to the ring and let them know , that we will gonna be here and that's why we so easily followed his plan and of course, we prepared fake artifacts. It's so good , that our fate was not written by them and it was hidden by the greatest magicians. We looked around and it seemed like no one could stop us. We  carefully approached the gate.

"So that's how they look like."- Aurelia picked up a ring and looked at the gates. I looked at them too: They was giant, without any color, but when we touched them, they was golden with seven notches for crystals.

"Do you ready?'- Asked me Aurelia. I silently nodded. We started to concentrate imagining how seven crystals generated from our magic. And they started slowly appearing with a light. They started spinning like crazy and lifted the wind around. Thunder started to strike around us and sky was cut in many places, they are trying to stop us, but seven crystals created a barrier and deflected every their attack. Crystals started to generate giant amount of energy and materialized more and more. We held hands every second losing more and more energy, we were sweating and our heads began to overload, our bodies could barely withstand this stress, our numerous lives flashed before our eyes. And when I felt, that we had no chance to end it, suddenly everything went quit. Seven crystals appeared and fall on floor. Thunders stopped. We picked up gems and started to put them in. We put everything and suddenly two palm prints appeared on both sides. We it our hands on it and a bell sound ring. And the creak of doors opening. The door started slowly moving. We looked inside and saw nothing. I tried to touch inside of it, but there was nothing. We nodded at each other, joined hands and slowly stepped inside the door's nothingness.  We felt falling feeling and then world suddenly overturned, but we continue to fall... and fall... and fall... In nothingness...
