Aww, Eric moaned, where am I ?
You are fine just stay still. It was Magdalene.
You saw too much and that drained your energy so you passed out.
What was that? he asked.
It is the reason you are here.
Don't tell me that rubbish!, get me out of here this minute.I have had alot in one day.
First was Steve now you. Can't you leave me alone, he screamed.
You need to calm down and listen to me.
It's a long story.
How long is your story? he got up angrily but found out he couldn't find the exit.
You had better start speaking!!
Alright, It all started hundred years ago in the reign of a king who had the power to forge gold in his breath. It was a gift from his father and the land was prosperous and people from far and near know Cartridge as a place of gold. She paused.
What happened, Eric asked.
Magdalene battled tears and said
That's all in the past now. It's all over.
How do you mean?
The king was murdered in cold blood and set ablaze with the household helpless.
The imposter, his brother whom he loved with his heart had him.......
Dead, Eric completed.
He also butchered his household along with him.
I am only a survivor.
How did you escape?
A large fire broke out and I was no where to be seen.
How is that possible? you look flesh and blood to me.
That is what you are meant to see.
A decade of tyranny, and everywhere is all dark and grey.
A prophecy came that a man from a world at the brink of death is the only one who can redeem us since we are in the same situation, that's why I had to find you.
But you only resumed yesterday?
How come all these?
I didn't apply for a job, I applied for redemption. I saw in those crystals that your supposed friend would have you murdered, so I had no choice.
How do you mean?
History often repeated itself and the only way to salvage the situation is to interrupt history.
Had he killed you, I would have waited ten years to get another chance.
Ten years! he exclaimed.
That's when it makes it happen.
Who? he whispered, getting scared the more.
Ruckus, she said angrily
Funny name, he replied.
She looked at him and got up and walked towards the exit.
Meet me in ten minutes, she said.
Ten? he exclaimed.
I am right behind you. I can't spend one more minute here. Please take me home.
