The Chronicles Of Kronos Volume III Chapter Seven
They knew they needed a different approach.
The whole thing wasn’t like trapping a cock roach.
‘Fake’ Kronos is very smart & a fast learner.
They couldn’t put any of that on the back burner.
Then ‘The Shadow’ made a suggestion.
“We can approach him where there’s no congestion.”
“I can take us all through the in between.”
“That way none of us will ever be seen.”
Asglow said “What exactly is the in between?”
“It is in between here & there, it seems.”
“There is no time passage in the in between.”
“It is neither here nor there. Nowhere & everywhere.”
“Time & reality cease to exist while there.”
“You cannot be traced because you are nowhere.”
“It is not a time loop, like you were trapped in.”
“To explain how I use it, I wouldn’t know where to begin.”
“But, I can easily take all of you with me.”
“There is nothing to fear. Nothing to see.”
“For, you see, it all happens instantly.”
“You have said enough to convince us all.”
“We will use it next time we make our call.”
Meanwhile, ‘Fake’ Kronos was ranting & raving.
Mad at itself for destroying the golem baiting.
“These worthless scum want me to change.”
“Be kind to humans. I’d rather have mange.”
“I don’t know where they come from.”
“Somebody had to send the scum.”
“I will mash them like they were bugs.”
“I’m not giving out any kisses & hugs.”
“Next time they ‘pop’ in I will be ready.”
“I’ll exterminate them, like last week’s spaghetti.”
On and on It ranted to its subordinates.
They only listened. They’d only be subordinate.
Meanwhile, the five had come up with a new plan.
It would work, if ‘Fake’ Kronos was only a man.
But, he was a soul less horror that was only evil.
All they could say is they were glad It was single.
Just as they were about to put the plan to work.
Anika suddenly realized It had a quirk.
They asked if she meant the plan?
She said “No, I mean It. Follow me, if you can.”
“Magic is a constant thing. Always present.”
“Be it positive or negative, it is present.”
“But, one balances the other to prevent chaos.”
“But, in ‘Fake’ Kronos’s case, it is way off.”
“Maybe it is because It doesn’t have a soul.”
“It was not created by God, so It has no goal.”
“How does It work magic so efficiently?”
“Something doesn’t add up. Don’t you see?”
“You are right. But, we can’t explain it.”
“An abomination, God said, when He banned It.”
“He sent It to the realm of outer darkness.”
“It was drawn back. How heartless.”
“The void in the flux is what brought It back.”
“A square peg in a round hole. Way off track.”
Anika said “I feel something here can help us.”
“Let’s all think on it. If we fail, we must.”
“But, for now, let’s go with our current plan.”
“Maybe we will finally get It in the can.”
What was their plan? We do not know.
What else are they thinking on. Will It go?
Stay tuned as it all unfolds along the way.
Hopefully interesting enough to make you stay.
