Chapter 2 Use your imagination

Cypher's point of view

He got angry and grabbed my arm and swung me up onto the roof. I broke the ceiling and was also on the top roof. He grabbed me like a log, lifted me and was about to throw me from the building.

He threw me from the building. I quickly shot an arrow that had a rope, and it passed through Hyde's chest and was stuck in his body. I used it as a landing support on the ground. I stared at Hyde, and he was scared that I was going to drag him to the ground with the rope on his chest.

No, no! He screamed. I dragged it with force, but Hyde was resisting it, not to fall from the building. Hyde grabbed the rope in his chest. My turn! He said, and lifted the rope, and I was lifted too.

He was dragging the ropes backward to get hold of me, he was running backward and wasn't looking back. Immediately, he fell off the building and screamed. He transformed back to his human form while still in the air.

He landed on the ground, dead. I looked from the top of the building and saw people gathering around his body. They all looked at the top of the building and saw me. A man yelled, Cypher! You murderer!

I wore my hat and smiled.

I hopped on my horse and left the town that night, and went to Vatican City-Rome. I walked into the church and knelt in front of the priest. We were discussing. He got angry and told me that I was the most wanted man in town.

And do you think that's how I want it? I said.

We were in a heated argument and the priest stood up. He told me to follow him, and we went down to an underground bunker where many people were working there.

We kept walking and discussing inside the lab, which was closely filled with workers.

And now you need to go to the east to the Romanian, and across the line by the night creatures, and you will meet the leader, Greyge.

Greyge? I asked.

Yes Greyge, you've never crossed someone like him before. The story begins 450 years ago when Transylvania's nightmare, Val-Leros De-Elda, because of the thoughts that his family will never rest on earth and in heaven until they banish Greyge from their land.

But they've not succeeded, and they're running out of numbers. The priest was narrating the historical story to me with a display of their pictures on the wall.

His descendant, Horis Val-Leros, king of the Gypsies, disappeared almost twelve months ago, as did his only son, Prince Aiden, and his daughter, Princess Nala. If the two of them are killed before Greyge, then nine generations of the family will never end and enter the gates of the same defeat.

For more than four centuries, this family has defended our lives long enough. They left their lives, and we can not let them be defeated again or let them sleep in purgatory. The priest said.

So you're sending me to hell? I asked.

He chuckled and tapped me, you know that's not what I mean. Val-Leros De Elda left this here a hundred years ago. We don't know its purpose, but he would not have left it.

The Latin translation is In the name of God. Open this door and there is a signal symbol. The priest said. I quickly looked at the symbol and looked at my ring. I was shocked.

Yes, it matches your ring. I think in Transylvania you might find the answers you seek. The priest said to me. I stared at Nala's picture on the wall.

Faster please, faster! John was telling the workers inside the chemical lab. One of the workers was electrocuted by an electrical field, he yelled and John sighed.

He saw me stepping down the stairs. Oh, there you are. Well, did you bring Mr. Hyde or did you kill him? Ah, you killed him, did you? John said.

Do you rather get so annoyed when he asks you to bring some of that or some corpses?

John kept asking me questions. I ignored him and was walking in one direction.

I see you're not in the mood to talk. John said.

A man blocked him from entering a room. John told the man he was sorry and went inside the room. He took out a bag and handed it over to me. He brought out garlic, holy water, and stretchy metal steel and put it inside the bag I was holding.

We both heard gunfire and turned around at the same time. I have got to have one of those, I said.

Do you think you can handle that or kill a vampire with that? John asked.

Oh, oh, you've never been out of this building. What do you know about vampires? I asked.

I read. He said.

Here's something. John pressed a liquid chemical and splashed it into the fire, and it caught in flames. Some workers yelled. Sorry, sorry, John said to them.

What's wrong with you John? Another worker shouted. I smiled and made a funny face.

Ah. This is my latest invention, John said as he pulled out an arrow automatically set with a bowl. This kills faster than anything, just pull the trigger and shoot.

I grabbed it to take a good look at it, then gave it back to him and stepped forward and stared at a powered chemical substance in front of me.

I tugged it to take a close look at it.

Oh no, drop that down, I have been working on that for twelve years. John said and grabbed it right from my hand. It's one of a kind and fragile.

What is it for?

I don't know, but I'm sure it will come in handy.

For twelve years you don't know what it is doing.

I didn't say that, I said I didn't know what it was for. But I know what it does.

Will it come in handy, how? I asked.

Maybe, blind your enemies or something else, use your imagination. John said. Helped grab some weapons and hand them over to me.

I'm going to use your imagination, that's why you're coming with me. I said.

Oh no, I don't have the courage. John said. I don't mind you're a monk, the priest said you should keep me alive. I said, throwing the bag at him and walked out. John followed me. I'm not a battle man. He said while climbing the stairs along with me. I don't want to go to Transylvania. John said in a weak voice.
