Divine academy

A secret library, A secret place

"Uh... I'm sorry... Do you I know you...?" Bolt asked, still being hug by the mysterious stranger.

"Bro, don't you remember me?" He looked up at bolt

"Uh... No..." Bolt shooked his head, he was certain he never met this guy. He was dress in full brown coat and he had a pretty messy blonde hair, which is a trait that bolt doesn't recognize in anyone he met.

"Oh... Right... I forgot you mortals don't remember anything when you guys are babies." He concluded.

"Huh? Babies? Mortals? What are you talking about? Do you know me when I was a baby?"

"Sure I do, in fact. We might be a lot more related than you think." He smiled

Huh? What is he talking about? Bolt thought, it sounds really crazy. He wanted to ask more questions but he decided to get up first, together he and the mysterious person help each other up.

"Okay, now that I have found you. I need you to come with me."

"What? Uh yeah, no... My parents warn me about following strangers and-"

"Bro! We're not strangers, I'm telling the truth!" He exclaimed.

"How can I trust you? You appear out of nowhere and claiming to know me even though I don't, and you haven't even tell me who you are. How can I trust someone who is all secretive?" Bolt asked in a demanding tone.

The mysterious stranger sighed and began to slowly talk. "Because I know things that you need to know, and second I'll tell you who I am soon but not here. We really need to hurry, the world is in danger."

The world is in danger? Bolt was shocked, that's exactly the same thing that the mysterious voice said. Could this person be telling the truth? And seeing how he looked sad, bolt can tell that this person isn't lying - anyone with a sad face couldn't possibly lie.

Bolt eventually trust him, but he's conflicted because as much as he wanted to find the truth behind all this strange happening - he also wanted to find his grandma.

While he's thinking, the mysterious person grab bolt's arm and dragged him through the streets.

"No time for thinking, we need to hurry!"

"WOAH!"

The two of them run back to the streets that bolt took, bolt was running through the streets that he is very familiar with. As they turn and run, bolt realized that they are following the exact road that lead straight to the book store that his grandma is working. Bolt became suspicious, this couldn't possibly be a coincidence right? Coincidence couldn't just happen a lot can they?

"Um... Can I ask. How did you managed to find me?" Bolt questioned

"Oh, it's pretty easy sensing divine powers when you're a... Well... A God." He admitted

"What?! A God?!"

There's no way this person could be a God, bolt was certain. But then again, he did called bolt a mortal which how Gods called humans and he knows about bolt's power so... He must be telling the truth.

He noticed bolt looked annoyed because his answers didn't satisfied him when he turn to looked at him, and that made him sighed.

"Look kid, I know I'm giving a not so satisfying answers. But I assure you that all of your questions will be answered as soon as we made it to our destinations, the others are waiting and the sooner I managed to get you there - the sooner those bad guys won't find you."

"Bad guys? What bad guys? Why are they trying to find me?"

"Trust me, whatever they're doing it's bad. That minotaur attack was just a sign that they have move, even more bad that they actually have half the world following them."

Hearing what the mysterious person saying, bolt can conclude that the evil forces that the voice he heard must be the same as the bad guy this stranger is talking. And it looks like they are after bolt, but for what?

Bolt soon realized, that instead of enjoying a nice summer vacation. He's going to be involved in something big, that no human has ever seen.

After running for a few hours, they finally made it to their destinations. They were standing at a small building with a yellow rooftops and white wall paint on each side, it also has a sign with a book in the middle. And bolt finally realized where they are, "This is divine book store, where my grandma work"

The stranger nodded. "Yup, this is the place. Pretty convenient huh... We get to go to my home and you can meet your grandma... Later... after I take you there."

Bolt wasn't following, what does he mean by going to his home? Does he live here?

The stranger opened the door and they went inside, the book store was small but it has a friendly and homely feeling like you just came back home. Another good reason why bolt love this place.

The stranger then escorted bolt deep within the book store and he stop at the back of the right section, "Uh... Why are here?" Bolt asked.

The stranger just winked at him. "You'll see."

He pull a blue book from one of the shelf, and then the entire shelf began to move and revealed an elevator which surprised bolt.

"Woah..."

"I know right, now come on."

The stranger push the elevator button and the door opens, the two of them went inside with bolt still feeling a little bit shaky. He had no idea this book store has an elevator but... Where does this elevator will take him, this book store doesn't seem to have a high floor... Or does it...?
