Chapter 54: Chapter 54 : Home of the gods? prt2
"but why?" Graham asked wiping away the tears
"Because it is your destiny to save your world , as it is your world's destiny to perish . To put it in simpler terms , if you don't act your world will perish . Only you can change your world's destiny , no one else " the grey eyed man spoke
"But..but you are Gods , why can't you intervene? Why it does not make sense at all" graham held his head thinking
"He is the only god left." The grey eyed man spoke slowly
Graham looked at him in disbelief , his mouth opening and closing as the words he wanted to speak got stuck in his throat
"No I'm not a god." The man shook his head after observing Graham's reaction
"Do not take me for a fool , I saw you back at the tree ! I saw what you did ! Explain that then , or is this all just a big joks to you guys ? Did you give me something that made me hallucinate ?By the gods graham you are losing it" tears started flowing down his eyes again burying his face in his palms sobbing
"Cedric .." the grey eyed man signaled at Cedric , who nodded and vanished from where he was to Graham's side . Touching his head graham fell down unconscious
"Now you carry him " Cedric levitated and headed towards the godly city , leaving his companion with the unconscious graham . The man smiled before picking him up and going after Cedric
A few hours later graham slowly opened his eyes , to be greeted by a strange ceiling above him that seemed to have things moving on it causing graham to wake up fully and sitting up straight
"What in the ....wow" graham looked around in amazement
The whole room was very spacious and filed with luxurious furniture and the large comfortable bed he was in that was covered in luxurious fabric , the room looked both ancient and modern to him with the color palette being regal and elegant .
Before he could think too much Cedric entered the room with his hands behind his back and a lazy smile on his face
"Good morning graham " Cedric spoke in a cheery voice getting graham to roll his eyes at him
'Where are my glasses?' graham thought to himself while looking around
"Oh you must be looking for your glasses right? Don't worry you wont be needing them, here take this." Cedric passed him a monocle but this one was much advanced than the ones he had seen before
It was more detailed and had a better-designed rim, which also contained the 'gallery'. The gallery consisting of 2 raised metal frames that jut from the main lens and would slot into the eyes orbit. This was for securing the monocle comfortably into place and prevent the lashes from knocking it out of the eye area. The main lense was red in color and the rest of the monocle's body was charcoal black , graham inspected the monocle for a while before nodding to Cedric and saying thanks
" Are you planning on staying glued to the bed the whole day or are you going to come with me?" Cedric turned around to leave , Graham quickly got out of bed and followed him
The two were walking in a dark hallway filled with paintings that seemed to be alive .some were depicting a great battle between two powerful forces while some had creatures that looked like humans but their faces would change into a monstrous beings for a brief moment before turning back to a human's face , graham shuddered a bit but it didn't go unnoticed by Cedric
" This is the hall of the living paintings everything you see here is true , but be warned don't look at the paintings for too long for you will find yourself trapped inside them battling whatever is inside for the rest of eternity" Cedric smiled , Graham's countenance changed revealing a frightened look not daring to look at the pictures any longer . Cedric shook his head with a soft laugh
The whole place seemed empty and most of the furniture inside was covered with white cloths , Cedric took graham to a dimly lit room
" Elder brother his awake! " Cedric called out and soon after soft footsteps approached them
"Good , graham how are you feeling today?" The grey eyed man stood before them with his hands behind his back
" Like a person stuck in a nightmare." Graham answered honestly
"Mmmm better , now I think I owe you some explanations but first *clap clap* " the man clapped twice and gears creaked and hissed with the lights on the wall lighting up one by one , illuminating the whole room . Bizarre, was the only thing that came to mind when one gazed upon this room .
"Welcome to my lab graham , I am a researcher just like you but my researches are mostly of a higher caliber and they usually involve the fate of all things . So here I am the president of the research and development institute well I was , as you have noticed there's no one else here besides us three "
he paused waiting for graham to absorb everything he had said , Graham's eyes darted all around the room filled with automatons , scales , pippetes , centrifuges , Bunsen burners , incubators , stirrers , water baths, fume hoods and many other laboratory equipment , with a few specimens cut open laying on the tables . Graham gulped
" I have so many names but right now I go by Stephen Bellanour , Graham Nimour I'm pleased to make your acquittance" Stephen bowed lightly
'stephen Bellanour' the name kept repeating itself in his mind like a song on a loop
Graham nodded closing his eyes to think "you said you are not a god but here you are living in their home and also the way you speak of Gods it's not exactly how I was taught about them , to me gods are Almighty well they used to be" Cedric chuckled at his words
"To you gods are Almighty mortal and they will remain so" Cedric spoke calmly but beneath the calm facade was rage
'how dare a mere mortal doubts the power of a god ?!' he screamed in his mind barely holding his anger In
"Uh yes about that , I am not a god ..... anymore "
