Escape to Amnity- Ch. 5

My blade stopped right as it got to her throat. Her anxious eyes looked at me, searching for mercy. 1

"Told you that you should never have done that," I told her. 2

"You will spare me?" she asked.3

"Why wouldn't I? You never would have killed me." I lifted my sword and she got up.4

"I'm sorry I did that, but...I had a, a vision that you would kill me. I saw that I was lying down and you would cast a blade at me."5

"I did."6

"You did?! When?"7

"Just now, but I didn't go all the way. I got worried when I saw you because in my dream, or vision you could call it I guess, you were coming at me with the most hostile eyes ever. You did earlier."8

"I guess those things gave us false information that was true, huh?"9

I chuckled, "Yah, but what's with these marks we got." I showed her the tattoo that somehow formed on my shoulder. 10

"I..I don't know."11

"ust like I don't know where to live anymore?"12

"Yah. Well, I won't leave you to fend for yourself. I'll help you look for a house."13

"Thanks."14

We stept the rest of the sfternoon looking for somewhere I could stay. As we headed home at dusk, we passed in front of a temple. I could here the preachings inside.15

"Jone yala xioquw halkame..." I stopped listening because the language confused me. I was just so glad that the person helping me could speak English. 16

"Eli, what are they saying?"17

"What the people in the temple?"18

"Yah."19

"Let me listen." She did. "Oh, they're going on about the prophecy of how our world will be saved."20

"What's the story." We came to her house soon and we sat down. She took a big breathe, making me think that it was a ong story. 21

"The prophets of many centuries ago told this story to many, hoping to save future generations. They said that there are more worlds than this one." I swallowed at that part remembering my experiences. "There is a place called HtraE that speaks a language similar to ours, but but no one from HtraE has been here to Tbyra. HtraE is so similar to Tbyra, that even our time is alike. Supposedly, a savior will emerge from HtraE and saves our world when certian destruction comes to our doorstep. That is why some of the people here used to be taught that language, because they might have been the savior from this world and will need to speak it. Well, as I said, a helper, that savior's sibiling, will come from Tbyra itself. They will each have a three letter name, beginning with a vowel. They will be opposites, and exact copies of the other.22

"Many people believed, still believe, this story of redemption. Not too long ago though, a new piece of the story was recovered from a lost scroll. The sibilings will save the land of Tbyra, but will then turn on it soon after. The land will fall into utter chaos, ending the world for good. Anyone who is thought to be the sibiling from Tbyra will be destroyed. If the one from HtraE is found, they will be gone before they can protest. 23

"Some people aren't religious as much as others and don't belive the tale much. These saviors will be extremely gifted in more talents than one can count. They will both be the wisest every known. They will both know the way of fighting, but one more than the other. Both with control elements, but one more than the other. The oter talents aren't known. Some say that mind reading, flying and even time jumping are possible talents. One thing that is known is that they will be amazingly talented in beauty, but if they're the best, that's not known. When they meet, something amazing will occur. Pain will spread far and wide. Marks will be made. Fights will break out. Right before it, people will be warned, but they may ignore the signs. That's our belief in how we will be saved and how we will die."24

That night, Eli let me stay at her house. I slept in the spare room. I thought at what she told me. Then, I thought of how I got here. I thought of the young woman telling me that she couldn't help me and how I shouldn't stay. I thought of how the elderly women stared at me...as well as...the other people in the market... I jumped out of bed and ran to Eli's room. I ran to her bed and quickly shook her awake.25

"Eli, Eli!" I cried.26

"What? What is it?!"27

"It us, we're the saviors!"
