Chapter Thirteen

The Wise Men of Old

“Wait here while I go ask permission to enter,” Bethany tells us as she enters the building. After a few minutes she returns.

“Well, what did they say?” Joshua asks.

“Well, it seems that they only want Ron to come in, alone,” Bethany replies.

“What? Why?” Rose asks.

“Unfortunately, I don’t know,” Bethany explains.

“I guess it can’t be helped then,” I mumble with a shrug as I walk toward the building. I slowly open the door. A loud creak erupts from the old hinges. Closing the door behind me, I look around. It seems as though I’m in a hallway. The entire atmosphere is dim, as if light would rather stay away from this place. “Well, seems the Wise Men of Old are into creepy things, huh? Eh, I can dig it,” I muse. I start to walk, calling out hello every so often. At the end of the hall I come into a circular room, lit with faint candles.

“Welcome, Ron Amar,” a voice mutters.

“Who said that?” I call out.

“We are the Wise Men of Old,” a cloaked figure adds. The men had seemingly appeared out of nowhere from the darkness.

“Well, hello, um, Wise Ones,” I venture. “How did you know my name?”

“Well, duh, we are called the Wise Ones,” Tink replies as he suddenly appears in front of me. His dirtied, long hair falls down upon his shoulders as he lands, as if he leaped from under the floor. Of course, he has that same big smile spread across his face.

“Tink!” I shout in disbelief. “I thought I was just having a weird dream!”

“Well, you got the weird part right,” Tink remarks with a laugh.

“Well, why didn’t you just come with us and teach me more about shadow nature?” I question.

“That is because Tink needed to inform us of your arrival... Homathreas,” one of the figures explains.

“So, I’d assume that you know why I’m here?” I cut in.

“Oh, of course. I had assumed that you came to us to learn about the prophecy,” the figure continues. “Homathreas is the title given to those in the prophecy.”

“Ok... so what’s the exact prophecy?” I ask.

“When the world of Sarrus is due to change, a being will appear from another world. This being will wield a weapon from their world so powerful it roars with the intent to kill. This being is considered a warrior in their world. They have the scars to prove it. To the peoples of Sarrus, this being is neither evil, nor holy. This is the Homathreas. This is what you are, Ron.”

“Ok, look. I’m not against this whole Homathreas thing or whatever it’s called, but I just want to get my friend back,” I explain.

“The path to your friend overflows with great evils, evils even a Homathreas may not imagine,” a cloaked Wise One argues.

“You don’t know me. You probably can’t imagine what I’ve gone through!” I remark with a glare.

“W-well, regardless of that, you will need training before you will even be able to even get close to him,” Tink cuts in.
