Chapter Twelve

Darek Takren followed Jakuuth down the walkway that clung to the inner walls of the prison like a grapevine. Behind him, Aorja followed, every now and then muttering something under her breath, though he could not tell what she was muttering about exactly because of the noise from the training prisoners below.

I can guess, though, Darek thought, remembering how Aorja had pinned him to the floor of Jakuuth's office earlier.

As for their destination, Jakuuth had said that Darek would need to be personally trained by him in order to catch up with the rest of the soldiers in time for the invasion. So Jakuuth was leading Darek to a room underneath the prison, away from everyone else, where he could give Darek the personal training and attention that he needed.

And despite knowing full well just how awful and evil Jakuuth's plans were, Darek could not help but feel excited about the prospect of learning how to become a Limitless. He was sure that he had heard that term somewhere before, but he could not recall where. At the very least, he knew that the teachers at North Academy had never taught him about the concept, not even his own mother.

Rather than heading down to the prison yard itself, Jakuuth led Darek and Aorja into another entrance that Darek had not noticed before. It was a blank, metal door located about halfway between the top of the prison's walls and the prison yard below, with nothing to indicate that it led anywhere special.

The door opened with a loud creaking noise, like the hinges had not been oiled in years, as Jakuuth, Darek, and Aorja entered. They had entered a metal hallway well lit by orbs of light trailing along the ceiling, which revealed that the hallway was cramped, dirty, and smelly. There was even a fist-shaped dent in the right wall, although neither Jakuuth nor Aorja offered to explain it, perhaps because they didn't know how it had gotten there themselves.

Darek wished that Aorja was in front of him, rather than behind him. He didn't want to look at her so much as he didn't like having someone who hated him where he couldn't see her. She technically didn't need to come at all as far as Darek could tell, but she had insisted upon following them because she wanted to make sure Jakuuth would be safe.

Not that he needs the extra protection, Darek thought as they walked. He could probably kill me with both hands tied behind his back and his eyes gouged out by a chimera.

“Where are we going?” Darek asked. “I mean, where exactly?”

Jakuuth didn't look over his shoulder as he said, “We're going beneath the prison. There's too much noise and chaos outside for me to train you properly. I am going to teach you how to exceed your limits in a place where we can have enough silence to allow us to concentrate.”

“Right,” said Darek. “How long will this training take?”

“It depends on your individual
