Dramatic secrets and entries

"Don't you get it, son. The world runs on lies and a person who has access to truth has the power to stop it. Better, even run it" King George said.

"Once we have the stone, we will have control, both over the arrogant rich as well s the blaming poor and that means we will be able to run the country the way we like." King Patrick added.

"But it will not work if a person is not ready to accept it, you know that your majesty, don't you?" I asked.

"Ever heard of Chinese torture methods, darling" King Patrick said as he motioned his hand across his neck.

"Lilly, down now!" Hermes shouted at me and soon I found myself seated comfortably on the floor while breathing heavily. A sword swung across the place where my neck was and I screamed at the swoosh of the sword.

Stella suddenly held my hand and started running to the entrance of the room. She was literally dragging me while Hermes was carrying Andrews.

I still do not know from where, but a few people suddenly jumped in front of us and all of them had their eyes on my palm. They started taking steps towards me as Stella's grip on my hand tightened.

Suddenly, there was smoke all around us and I started choking. Stella still dragged me and once my choking ceased, we were on a run for our lives. There were hundreds of men behind us and we were running as fast as I could.

The men were wearing heavy metal armours and the corridor was filled with clanging sound as the men ran behind us with their swords.

Suddenly, Hermes snatched my hand and Rihanna snatched Stella's. Stella cried loudly as Rihanna activated her latest supersonic boot and carried her in high speed. She was far off from my eyesight in a single blink.

Andrews pressed a button on Hermes's arm and we were enclosed in what could be described as a black ball. I started panting as I looked around me. I felt like the ball in which we were sitting was floating but I could not see or hear anything from outside. The only thing that allowed me to see what was happening inside the ball was five LCD bulbs above me. Andrews was asleep after some time and I sighed as I looked at the sleeping figure of the old lady.

"So what does the stone that you gave to Andrews really do?" I asked to break the awkward silence.

"It gives the wisher an alternate physical form for some days. The wisher can't choose a form, it is simply given by the stone"

I was starting to feel bored when I felt a warm hand over mine. I tried to retrieve my hand when I saw that it was Hermes who was holding my hand. He held my hand and his grip tightened as I tried to loosen my hand from his.

"Hermes, what are you doing?" I said as he sat in front of me.

"I am sorry, I am sorry..." He freed my hand and put them up in the air. He started massaging his forehead and said, "I don't think we are going to survive, Sagsa has been trying to escape for the last one hour and she will soon run out of fuel.

"Sagsa?"

"This spherical anti-gravitational sonic automobile" He shrugged.

"The point is just give that stone to me , I have to say it to you." He moved his hand along the wall of Heidi, "It seems like we do not have much time"

"No, I have to ask you something, what is the third persons charm for 'The Wail of The lover'?"

I asked him that question because I was pretty sure that the answer must have been in the torn out pages of the book. I expected him to know the answer and thus we could start a conversation based on it. My plan was to make him confess that he stole the book from a girl but my plan was a failure.
