Like clock work three days later Rev is spotted is in the inner city. This time Rev is not immediately chased he is monitored as they alert Thomas of him.
"He's here," the officer reports to Thomas.
Rev looking around for officer he can stop them out easily as the light in them glows brighter than a normal person. He notices he's not being surrounded like usual. This does everything but put him at ease.
"Something wrong," Rev thinks to himself.
He starts to run out of the inner city as fast as he can.
"He's on the run-" Rev knocks the officer out before he can finish.
He tries to continue is his run, climbing up high. Someone is there already. As though they were waiting for him.
"hello there," Thomas says. "You ready to die?"
Rev sees the light coming from his body. It's almost the mass was so dense and large it was as he was. He was looking at one of the lights in the sky. He quickly dropped down the alley.
"Running are we? " Thomas says in a steady, cold tone.
Thomas Flys up looking down at Rev as though he was a mouse in a maze.
He extends his hand out, his thumb tucked with his middle and ring finger together as he spreads his pointer and pinky out. The light runs from his core to the tips of his finger, forming a spiral covering his hand like a coil.
"Nush Novra" Thomas says
The coil quickly compresses, creating a sonic boom. As a spear of water shoots down at Rev. Lucky, he dashes into a building. The water pierces the ground. Thomas opens his palm facing down. Rev tries to catch his breath. Thomas lifts his palm, flips it and makes a fist. The ground below Rev starts to shake as. He has been caught in a trap. The ground below folds into hitting self. People scream as the humans are crushed. Rev jumping from pieces of rumble to the next as it becomes more and more steep. He sees an opening and the wind blast himself towards it. As he reaches the opening, he is meat by Thomas.
"Hello again," Thomas says
Rev is caught by the top of his cloak as Thomas floats 300ft in the air. Rev waste no time slipping out of his cloak and wind blasting himself straight to the ground.
"Foolish child," Thomas says as he squeezes Rev's cloak in his hand.
Rev reaches the ground semi rough landing. He doesn't have time to worry about it; he has to keep moving. "who is this guy? " Rev thinks. He keeping running, disappearing into bigger crowds of people. Contently checking if he's being followed. He makes it home only to see elf officer surrounded his house. He hides on a rooftop. He sees Cron being questioned by 3 officer.
"that bastard," Rev thinks.
He sees more officer dragging out Reed, Randy, and Rudy. He can't help it, he runs towards them. Taking out the officer holding the kids.
"Rev-" Cron tries to say
"What did you do?" Rev says
"Rev?" One officer says as he looks at him uncloaked.
"They said they would kill me if i didn't tell them," Cron explains to Rev.
"I don't" Thomas cuts Rev off "Oh no you will still be dying actually all of you will be dying"
Rev grabs the kids and dashes away from Thomas, holding one of the officer hostage. Thomas raises his hand, the wind blasting them both back. Rev takes the majority of the fall. The officer gets up and pins Rev as Thomas walks, but the kids grab his legs, trying to stop him.
"Leave Rev alone," the kids say.
Rev looks over at the officer, pinning his eyes turn wide. As he sees Thomas raise his hand against them. He pushes the officer off of him dashing towards Thomas. It's too late Rev had never seen anyone use the power as fast as Thomas. The light zoomed through his body faster than he could move. Rev collapses on the ground.
"NOOOOOOO" Rev cries out.
Thomas glares at Rev "Dont tell me...no it can't be"
Thomas steps on the head of Rudy, slowly crushing his skull. Rev eyes light up like never before a full bright crimson fills them.
Thomas smiles at Rev. "you actually cared about them" he says in a condescending tone.
"am going to ki-" the sound of a barrel of water dropping cuts Rev off.
A cyclops is there. Stunned at what he has just seen. His face turns furious. Rev had not interacted with the cyclops that Offen, but he had never seen with anything less than a big smile on their mouths. He ran away, disappeared in an instance.
"Fuck," Thomas says "Chase that cyclops NOW"
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
Thomas walks over to Rev, picking him up by his shirt.
"lets see you elf" Thomas says.
He rips Rev's mask off of him along with his shit, but he had to stop. His face turned to one of horror as he dropped Rev on his feet.
"Your a.... YOUR A DARK ELF! " He and the other elfs screamed.
"What of it" Rev says
the officer from be form starts to mudder to himself "Those eyes...that hair...that skin...Rev...Rev-"
"How are you alive? Who are your parents CHILD? ," Thomas says rasing his hand to Rev.
the officer from before mudders grow in volume "Rev...Rev...a dark elf...Rev...no... Reveshto...REVESHTO RISE" He screams out "Your Reveshto rise you have to be...but how did-"
"What are you talking about? The rise family was wiped out more than 10yrs ago by that bastard Loka," Thomas says.
"my name is Rev. It was the last thing my mother told me before she died. No, before she was killed," Rev says.
"That's it he has to be-" A shock wave rumbles under them as he ground below them raises up giant walls that separate them.
"what is this? " Rev says.
A Large cyclops appears with a bright red cloth tied around his arm. He was bigger than the usual cyclops that came by the house, at least 9ft taller and pure muscle.
"Oh, cursed child. Come with me," the cyclops says, reaching his hand out.
Rev is closed off but seeing the light emulate from this cyclops body, it was so warm it felt like he was basking in the sun. He reaches out, grabbing his hand. The cyclops grabs rev and quickly moves him close, dodging the water spear that pierces through the stone walls.
"The ground the GROUND it going to fold in on itself. We need to leave," Rev tells the cyclops.
The ground begins to shake and crumble.
"Understood," the cyclops says
He grabs Rev, pulling him close to his chest
"hang on kid," the cyclops says.
Rev hands on to his shirt. The cyclops brings his hands together, forming a weird shape.
"Twin gods grant me strength," he says.
Rev sees the cyclops' body light up, then shoot the light down to his legs. Rev looks up seeing Thomas above them for a split second before his head is snapped to the cyclops' chest due to the speed they started moving at. Thomas tries to follow them but is stopped by two other cyclops. this gives Rev time to escape, as they quickly reach the end of the city, but the cyclops does slow down.
"Hey we're going to go straight into that wall" Rev tries to tell the cyclops
"Hold on tighter," the cyclops says
"Your-"
The cyclops jumps over the wall. Rev grip looses, but the cyclops holds him in place with one arm. He lands by rolling over his shoulder, then popping himself back up to keep running into the forest. He finally comes to a stop in front a small camp cite by the riverside. He puts Rev down and goes to get some water from the river.
"Who are you and why did you help me?" Rev asks.
"My name is Ein, and I helped you because you were in trouble even if you are a cursed child," Ein say
"Am not cursed...what does coursed mean?" Rev says.
"Your a dark elf but worry not even you are not excluded from the salvation that lies in the twin gods," Ein says
"Twin gods?" Rev thinks, he knows he's heard of them before from the kids.
"where are theses twin gods you cyclops speak so much about?" Rev asks.
Ein explains, "They lie in the land beyond a place that can only be reached by dedicating your life to either of them. "
"Your crazy. How are you so to know they are real if you have never seen them?" Rev says.
"I believe because of the gift they gave us, along with every other living thing. The gift of source that which everything comes from," Ein says.
"Sources? Every living thing you say...you mean the light?" Rev asks.
"Light? well it has been described to be light like, but it's not like anyone could ever see it" Eins tells Rev.
"You can't see the light in people? I thought everyone could...well not everyone one has the same amount of the source. Things like humans barely have any but if i focus hard enough I can see it" Rev says.
"What are you talking about, child? How would yo use anything non the less source with all the hair in your face? " Ein says as he walks over to Rev.
He extends his hand Rev moves his head away, but Ein is to fast and clears the hair from Rev face, revealing his red eyes. Ein is stunned, taking a step back.
"Everyone has the same reaction," Rev says as he signs.
Rev reaches to put his hood over himself, but it's not there. He remembers he lost it running away from that flying elf.
"Red eyes....how interesting and you said you can see source? prove it to me," Eins says.
He closes his eye and starts moving the source around his body. Rev forces watching it movements.
Rev begins to call out the movement of the source "right arm...now your left legs...back to your chest... left arm"
"That's amazing, child. Maybe you are more blessed than you are cursed. Please tell me your name child," Ein says.
"My name..." Rev can't help to think back to what he heard the officer yell to him, but he shakes it off. "My name is Rev" He tells Ein.
"Rev quit a strange name, but it fits you as strange as you are," Ein says
Rev glares at Ein.
"Woah, your eyes can even change there brighter then before" Ein says as he gazes at Revs eyes.
"Stop looking at me," Rev says
" oh my apologizes Rev, i didn't mean to offend you- foot step" Ein grabs Rev and hides behind a large tree.
It's another cyclops.
"Ein! Ein! Are you here? " The cyclops calls out.
Ein Comes out behind the tree. " am here where Neesh?"
"Neesh is dead that blessed elf killed him, but I got away wither way we need to pack up and run to the dock as fast as possible," the cyclops says.
"Dead...Neesh sacrifice will be remembered as he travels to the beyond blessed is he who dies so others may live" Ein says.
Ein and the other cyclops start packing up.
"So Rev are you coming with us?" Ein asks.
Rev thinks to himself now that everyone he cared about has been killed again, " Where are you going?" he asks.
Ein smiles "Home across the ocean to Eaven as you elves call it"
"Not like I have much choice," Rev says as he signs and follows Ein and the other cyclops.
The three of them begin their journey to the coast. They spend the day making the journey talking along the way, Rev learning the name of the other cyclops and why they came to Eden in the first palace.
"Yes, Neesh, Kemy, and I were sent here to spread the name of the twin gods to all who will listen, but also to monitor the elves, and I have noted their poor treatment of humans. We even freed some humans from nearby farms that they were forced to work in."
Then night falls and they set up camp on the beach. Kemy makes a fire and sets some fish on it.
"Here Rev this is fish. Have you ever eaten it before? " Kemy asks.
"I know what it is, but no it smells weird" Rev says, but he can't deny his hunger.
He takes the hot fish and eats it to the bone.
"Slow down there kid you're going to burn yourself," Ein says.
"What ever" Rev responds.
They finish their meals and head to sleep on matts. Rev sleeps on the one meant for Neesh. Rev tosses and turns as the cold wind from the ocean hits him. He thinks back to that night, remembering how his room froze over. Kemy wakes him up, picking him up and running. The sun is barely over the horizon. Rev eyes are fuzzy, but he looks back to see Thomas fighting Ein. Thomans then looks over at them, sending and shoots an attack at them.
Rev tries to warn Kemy "Kemy WATCH-"
The water spear drives into Kemy's back. " blessed is he who dies so others may li-"
the water from the spear rapidly expands from inside his body, popping him like a balloon.
