Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 Chances

Whilst entering camelot everyone is presented with a set of rules they must follow oddly enough there were only two. The first was all residents must maintain peace failure to do meant eviction or a slight penalty. The second was never shift your attention from the host failure to do is DEATH.

Broken glass red skid marks on the road and the smell of tar burning in the air.In a moment like this there would usually be some form of assistance but coincidently Uryan was giving a speech on the billboards no was allowed to look away if they did it only meant dead. A semi skilled healer was amongst them where the accident was his attention shifted to a boy sat on the road in a pool of blood his entire torso seemed to have been crushed his right hand managed to grab the purse of a random girl in the the crowd she tried to stay calm knowing if she shifted a her attention nothing good would happen.

The entire crowd stood like in a trance even the reporters stopped filming but it did not last long the fire from the truck was slowly spreading since its fuel is made from nether beast blood its highly flammable the crowd was slowly dispersing while managing to keep all eye contact with the billboard while trying to save themselves.Whilst moving a prominet musician also known as vines happened to stumble upon charons leg which seemed to twitch just a little.

A child who was eating ice cream vanilla flavored was now covered in blood slowly fusing with the white and melting in her hands dripping from the cone and the topping was now an eyeball directly looking at her as the ice cream slowly melted reaching her tongue since she staring at the billboard her mother strongly griped her hand and said in a shaky voice " keep looking at the billboard our savior is a nice person as long as you look at him swallow the eyeball if you have to we will order takeout today mommy will buy new presents as long as you keep looking at him".

A well known cyclist was center forward in the crowd he activated his which allowed everyone to communicate keeping each other calm "you there the one in a grey trench coat stop groping me after this is over pray l wont find you ".Said the business woman on her way to the contest her car had a flat tire so she left the matter to her bodyguards then decided to take a taxi upon doing so she heard a loud crash one over an accident happened and human instinct to over she went to look but to her demise she found a prerecorded advertisement on a billboard.

To charon this scene was truly a sight to see despite having only one eye left.The amount of voices that were talking some scared others arguing even zealots were in the crowd praying to him for survival granted this will be the first time.Charon saw so many people having hope and thinking they could survive this as painfully turned his head to shift his attention to a person who was walking towards the frozen crowd.He stopped and decided to observe from afar then a person in the crowd said" wait l have seen this one before "so what answered a middle aged man in the crowd the plumber continued " it means it was recorded so thats not Uryan talking".

 The best way to one could describe him was beauty incarnate blond long hair tied into a pony tail white toned skin eyes as azure blue and white robes with gold imprints he was taller then a door frame and his voice sounded like a melody composed by the angels themselves.Charon saw a midget with dark spots under his eyes with short blond hair wearing a white tunic and sandals.After uryan power was centered around illusions.

Charon speculated that he could see this because he was about to die.He chuckled knowing that if he used omens bane he could change the scenario but could also kill him in the process. "Will it though "charon froze upon realizing even his thoughts were also included in the crowd charon gathered whatever strength he had left and said " you know its rude to listen to a dying mans thoughts unless your priest then let me tell you my life story l was born on the 17th of" "Ok stop l was just trying to lighten the mood you do not seems to be in good shape its amazing that you are even alive " said the mysterious voice.Charon added " well from the sounds of it your the guy wearing a blue trench coat with black ash burn hair holding the suitcase mind telling me whats inside"

After that a random memory came to his mind a man shrouded in black wearing robber gloves inserting a nether beasts heart into the suitcase then the memory ended but the smell of a corpse was so real charon could tell this was recent .The voice responded with a "well we all have our secrets but that does not matter right now my elysiums pulse allows me to heal people and if l heard correctly you can change the predicament were in ".

 "Sure l can do that and if it works that is a big if by the way whats the guarantee that you can heal me when its done or you would just reap me off can continue on your and leaving a witness to die either seems like a win for you" There where a few moments of silence between the two whilst the crowd continued to talk' It even reached a point of where everyone was sharing their life stories.

After a few moment the voice responded by saying my name Shawn elrics l am 16 years old l live alone and currently single l work for Orion reeds his offers part time work and permanent jobs for people with potential am delivering a" charon said " Stop! first of all l do not care second you do realize everyone stopped projecting their thought a few minutes ago" Shawn tried to listen to the others then realized he was the only one projecting but regardless he was about to continue until sharon suddenly turned completely black .

While everyone was glued to the screen sharon realized if he does not do anything he would face judgment but that was the last thing on his mind since someone within the crowd thought it was over due to the screen fading to black an decided to take a group photo in that moment a white flash blinded a everyone since the light reflected of the billboard itself when the add was ending showing a black screen in those few seconds charon saw fifteen thousand gold plated spears falling from the sky aimed at everyone who eyes where blinded for those mere seconds.In that moment time froze as everyone was getting pierced and limbs slowly being cut of in slow motion almost half the people there were already dead.

 Clearly the knights were no joke they clearly did not hesitate as charon could see them on top the buildings surrounding them wearing gold plated heavy the camoflage was clearly disabled for a sight like this was not one wished to be the receiving end of charon had already raised his remaining arm before time stopped he was gonna miss the conversation with shawn if this were different they could have been friends.

Whilst looking at a reflection of himself from a piece of broken glass charon activated his ability omens bane and time started reversing itself everything was reassembling itself like puzzle pieces .The knights slowly going backwards and their spears returning into their hands.Charon found himself slowly being lifted of the ground his limbs returning to him and reattaching themselves to his body.

This was the first time he has used his ability to this extent the results were incredible if only he had attained this ability from birth things would have been different he could have saved his family from being mauled to death by nether beast or saved his sister from succumbing to cancer.All possibilities where limitless their within his grasp as he was in mid air frozen there like a man from the sky and thought well at least l will not go to hell this time l think then time continued and a loud crushing sound was heard.
