The Atlantean Compensator 34 A Slumber Did My Spirit Seal..

'The 3Masters are looking from afar'

Power. "..It's happening now."

Wisdom, looking a bit worried this time.

"I was hoping he would not go through it already, but there is no doubt about him now...

His powers are too great and would not be fully awakened unless that happens.

And...

He would not let him..."

Love is crossing her hand close to her face and prays.

"G.o.d please protect his soul...

If he couldn't make it, we'll have to interfree and stop his slumber."

Power. "Yeah. That goes without question.."

'Herald slowly regains his consciousness, it seems that these tests tired him a lot phisically but more so mentally.'

'But Herald wakes up not where he fainted.

He's sitting on a chair, of a table of two people.. Alone in a dark old room with no roof, only lightened by Moonlight and candles...'

'Sitting in front of him, A man he had never seen before...

Wearing the cla.s.siest of suits and ties, drinking a cup of what looked like some kind of alcohol so elegantly...'

'For some reason Herald cannot see his face. It's the only part of his body that the light does not reflect on.

Herald is still very exhausted and seems to not have enough strength to lift his body from its place yet.'

"....Where am i? And Who are you?"

The man takes a sip and puts the cup on the table.

"Both answers of little significance Mr Herald.

My name is Mammon.

I am here to help you."

'Herald slowly moves his body and puts his arms on the table to get a closer look of his face but still does not see it.'

"..Help me in what exactly?"

Mammon. "To get awakened, isn't that what you're here for?"

Herald. "Yes, how did you know?"

Mammon. "Again of no use, let's discuss what is really important Mr Herald.

What you've gone through in this day is truly impressive. You're on the verge of discovering your true powers."

Herald. "Is that so..."

Mammon. "Absolutely, unlike the previous tests this one will is the easiest as well.

You'll just have to give me your trust"

Herald. "Trust...What do you mean by that?"

*Mammon gets a bottle of wine out of nowhere on the table, and calmfully pours a drink for Herald.*

"Have a drink Mr Herald, as am explaining to you"

Herald. "No sorry, I do not drink."

Mammon. "I said...Have a drink Mr Herald."

*Herald finds himself unwillingly taking the cup on his hand and drinking it...

Mammon continues.*

"As i was saying... And my words may sound a bit bold to you.

What this organization is telling you, is all false!

This Atlantean a.s.sociation is nothing other than a terrorist formation.

Sucking people's mind and freedom and turning them into murderers with no emotions.

You might be questioning the legitimacy of my claims, but not so long ago you had to take the choice of relying on your cold blooded self and ignore your humanly one...

It is only the beginning Herald, next thing you know you'll be someone else."

Herald. "...So where am i then, and how did you got here?"

Mammon. "You're now put under one of their illusions.

Not only you but each one of the 7 that came in here..All are now facing the same thing.

They are trying to control and wash your brains."

Herald is shocked by these claims, up to now he had never thought about this possibility.

"...EXPLAIN THEN...All of our powers?

And my meeting with Thoth..."

Mammon smiles. "They've been doing this since forever, spells and illusions of this complicated level is nothing for them at this point.

They're all just to make it seem real and to sell you all in it."

Herald. "...Why can't i see your face?

You expect me to trust your words right off the bat?"

Mammon. "No I am not, we can stay here as long as you want until you're convinced."

Herald. "...You said you're here to save me,

Why so?"

Mammon. "The organization you should join is ours, Mr Herald.

We hate to lose our soldiers for a fake and evil organization such as this one.

They sometimes succeed at getting to people of special abilities in order to use them against us.

I am personally one of the 7founders of the Ultra MQ Project.

You're a Monarch Child, Herald."

Herald. "...What does that even mean?

'Keep in mind that Herald is still drinking a cup after cup, but he doesn't notice it anymore as Mammon is revealing all this disturbing information.'

Mammon. "It means that you're a chosen one, your powers are an aftermath of being a monarch child.

I already know that you got a dream in where that Egyptian G.o.d visited you.

You're smarter than to believe it, Mr Herald.

This Organization is using wicked ways such as religious ones to make all of you believe in them."

'Herald is really, really confused at this point. More so speechless.

This man that he doesn't even know, is speaking a very realistic and logical language.

His arguments are certainly not to be dismissed. They can very well be true...'

Mammon. "..What do you think Mr Herald?

All you got to do is slightly give me of your trust and you'll snap out of this illusion.

Then, we'll have all the time to discuss and show you even more evidences to re-a.s.sure you."

*Herald now is drinking excessivly..

Cup after cup..

He's nerveous.

Very nerveous...

He's sweating;

And does not know what to do...*

"...I need more evidences now... And what about the others???"

Mammon. "We are doing our best to save them just like i am doing here with you."

*Herald cannot stop himself from drinking.*

'It started to kick in.

He's feeling dizzy and his view is getting blurry.

Beside the fact that he's phisically and mentally very tired...'

Herald. "....You said..

Your name is...Ma..Mammon...

Right?"

Mammon. "Yes it is."

Herald. "Can you...

*Burps*

Stop making me...Drink??"

Mammon. "It isn't me who's making you drink though...

it's your own desire for drinking, that you have been supressing for so long."

Herald, talking looking wasted and talking like a drunk man already.

"Aah...Yeah...

Hahahah....I see, Well..I gotta say that I....Missed drinking Hahahahaha"

Mammon. "Enjoy what's been giving to you Mr Herald.

I guess I am getting your trust here.

Thankfully.."

'Mammon stands up and walks towards where Herald is and gets him up so easily.'

Herald. "....Where are..we go..ing?"

Mammon. "Making our way out of here Mr Herald. I am sure you're very tired of what these villains have made you go through."

Herald. "Oh....Alright!

Thank you Sir. Hahhahah...It's ve..ry...kind...of..you"

*Herald again loses consciousness*

'Mammon's face started to appear slowly as he is walking...

And a little evil grin was drawn on his face.'

*Meanwhile*

Love. "HIS LIFE FORCE IS SLOWLY FADING ALKEYDER

WE GOT TO ACT NOW."

Wisdom. "Yes..

I am aware....

We'll stop his slumber now. Heracles."
