Fixing his gaze on the street that was completely empty, Oliver watched out the window as he wondered if his eyes weren't deceiving him.
His expression reflected the disbelief he had at that moment as he asked himself.
‘It’s silent… in fact, it seems like no one even noticed what happened here.’
Outside, the street was empty and everything was completely silent, to the point where you could hear owls in the nearby trees.
Leaving his room again, putting only half his body out, Oliver saw that there were no lights on through the cracks in the doors, everyone was probably asleep.
Since he lived in a simple and cheap building, he knew that there would be no cameras in those corridors and again he frowned.
Returning to his room, the boy soon turned to the wall that had been destroyed earlier and touched it, still looking with doubt as he ran his hand under it.
'I don't know if she was reconstructed, but I know that pieces of her should be scattered all over the room...' His mind again took him to some time ago, when the mere touch of the woman had made that man disappear. ‘It must have been her thing or something from the association she belongs to, I saw too many bizarre things in one day to not be able to doubt that she simply rebuilt this wall in the same way she made that guy disappear.’
Oliver would return to the center of his room and take out the relics, leaving the bow and quiver on the bed so he could fold the cloak.
Positioning all the equipment on top of his nightstand and then sitting on the bed while he pulled out his cell phone to search.
His fingers quickly tapped across the screen and he ran his eyes over the flaps that opened.
'There was no resident on the wall on the side that was destroyed, they entered this building so maybe I can get a face or name by going to the entrance tomorrow, since they attacked me at the time the security guard was there.' thoughtful cell phone. 'If she was watching me since yesterday, I can assume they found me not long after... no, they would have attacked me at work or on the way... so they arrived at me a little while ago.'
Oliver continued to stare at his reconstructed wall as his thoughts flowed quickly.
Those relics had entered his life just over a day ago and many things had happened since then, making Oliver little by little assimilate all the information he had.
'Whether she came by before me or after, she could have reconstructed it the same way she made that guy's body disappear. At this point, thinking that she or this association can use magic is not such an absurd idea.'
With a long sigh, Oliver raised his head and looked at the ceiling, wondering.
Again he remembered the moment of the chase that even though he didn't feel like he was faster, the speed was clear from the sight of the buildings passing quickly around him.
The confidence in holding the bow and the satisfaction in seeing that his shot had hit the target, along with all the confusion that woman had with what she had said and shown made him think about the relics, looking again at the bow and the cloak.
Soon he would scratch his eyes as he got used to all this new information in his head, until he would lift his head as soon as a thought came to his mind.
On his cell phone he looked for the location of the park he was in and realized that it was 10km away, having covered it all in less than 5 minutes and it made him look in surprise.
This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.
However, what surprised him most was that the two of them were able to keep up with him even though he was going faster than an ordinary car if he was running straight.
The boy held his hand to his chin thoughtfully as he concluded.
'Aside from them destroying a wall and door with swords, they were also superhumans who somehow found me...' He turned his head slightly to the side and saw the relics positioned where he had left them. ‘We were all running faster than an Olympic sprinter, apart from that big guy, the smallest one didn’t seem to have as many muscles for that feat, it just reinforces that they had something... suddenly this world doesn’t seem as normal to me as it used to.’
Squinting his eyes, he concluded.
‘It would be simpler if I gave the weapons to that woman, but if whoever gave them to me knows my relationship, this could lead me to my family.’ Oliver looked at the window and saw the reflection of his face as he thought. ‘I have to find out something.’
Soon Oliver got up and picked up his backpack to remove his notebook.
After that, he turned it on and started it while thinking.
'She didn't tell me a name or anything so I could find this organization, maybe there is a company of theirs in the real world just as a front, but I don't think I'll find it now. But she showed me something indirectly.”
Moments later, the notebook finally started and he was able to access the internet, quickly typing the link to the blog he had previously found.
'If she knows about relics and what these equipment are too, there must be more in the world besides that...'
Oliver's eyes widened when he saw a section he wanted on the page, smiling and underlining with his mouse as he noticed a part where the blog talked about the old equipment that was being discovered.
As a guide, Oliver would open his computer's notebook and scan the names of the countries in which the blog claimed these items originated.
He maintained a focused, wide-eyed expression as he switched between the page and the notepad.
Little by little gathering more and more information, he talked to himself.
‘I have to find more people like me, they must exist. Just like that woman must have a relic and those guys must have something similar.'
For that moment, he knew that relics were not limited to just weapons and clothing.
Once again looking at his relics he noticed that the number of arrows seemed not to have decreased, even though he had shot at least 5 during that night.
'Even the quiver has its power, since I didn't see anything in the two who came and the woman, perhaps small accessories will also give something. Maybe it's the cape that gives me all this physical prowess, so maybe they don't just have one or two abilities.'
He squinted his eyes and stopped typing as he came to the conclusion that he had heard that earlier.
'I think that's what she meant when she said I didn't use the relics properly. There could be a lot more things.’
Soon Oliver relaxed his arms under his notebook and finished typing, seeing the screen that reflected in his eyes.
In his notepad he had written down the link to the page and the countries that had been mentioned on the site, the names extended throughout America and on some continents where they found the supposed ancient items.
However, the cases of disappearances and deaths were mainly in the United States.
‘If there were disappearances of people similar to what happened to me, there must be a pattern. If I find it... I might be able to find out a little more about the disappearance.' With his eyes still focused on his computer screen, Oliver clenched his fist as he said. 'The cloak grants me invisibility, the bow always hits where I look and the quiver seems to have endless arrows... perhaps the physical prowess comes from the combination of the three, or there could be something more as I fulfill the relics' wishes.'
He soon returned to reading the page he had found while searching for more about the historical items that had been discovered around the world, making him think.
'Imagining that there are people with relics also makes me think that they must have different powers than mine. Everything I saw today can be used for combat, but maybe there is some relic that can help me find what I want... there has to be one.'
Continuing to look at his notebook screen, he concluded.
‘If it exists, with a carrier or not, I will find it. After all this time, a chance for me to get my answers... I won't give it up for anything.'
Looking at the clock in the corner of his notebook screen, he saw that it was already past midnight and squinted his eyes, then stretched as he said.
“I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep today.”
