The Gatekeeper - Chapter 16 To Learn

The world seemed bleak, the sky shallow in colors and the clouds thundering. It had been 3 days since we last saw Gother, he missed the gathering of the mass which unlike daily gathering was a more important day.

“Merek do you think the Emissary will give Gother a pass to the sunbaths?” Raimer asked me his calm eyes looking at me, he always is a gentle giant in sense of how he cares for his peers. His height has always been the smallest of all ours but that didn’t stop him from continuing to the path of the sun.

“If the Emissary has taken him,” I say mustering my strength “then he’s in good hands.” My eyes look away to the dark clouds billowing in the sky.

“Than do you think that it true what they say about him?” my friend asked me his eyes flooding with concern “Afterall they all did disappear that night.”

Raimer goes on a tangent about all the odd coincidence regarding the Emissary and the disappearance of Brot city.

“Well isn’t it good that Brot city disappeared they were supporting those disgusting beast,” I say looking at him “After all its there fault we lost the war 20 years ago.” I finished, raising my voice to the last part. My friend looked at me, his eyes showing concern.

“You know I lost my father in that war, they killed him,” I tell him as my eyes start to sting thinking about it.

“I didn’t know, it just that…” he says to me his fist clenching “nothing nevermind.”

“Ok,” I tell him, not wanting to continue on the topic.

I get him, after all, we all have been stressed out lately, the country has been expanding what more could I ask. We should all be excited about the power our country is getting. I look at Raimer, he’s looking over the city and his thoughts consuming him, blue mist is rolling off him in gently sweep as it rises to the sky.

“You losing control,” I point to the mist “you don’t wanna loose too much mana big boy do ya?” I say to him hoping to diffuse the situation, I know Raimer doesn’t really care for our ways. I never told on him, for the fact that he cares for those beasts I guess I never really reported on him because I admired that fact about him. Maybe that’s how we even became friends, of course with a little help from our good friend Gother.

The weather is starting to look worse and the clouds billows, even more, the clouds start to twist into a cyclone covering the whole city, passing us and further into the horizon. Raimer looks at me I look at him, both have the same thoughts run into our minds.

*What the heck is happening*

Suddenly with a bright glow, a winged creature appears at the center of the city. The creature is standing tall in the sky its wings spread wide, white loose clothes billow in the sky his feature similar to mans’ except for the wings behind his back and the huge ring radiating white light hovers behind the creature. I look at Raimer his eyes glow in an exited light, I doubt I’m doing any better than him who wouldn’t be the Herald is finally here.
