The Omega Timeline

Chapter 17: tensions rising

Part 1/3 (Perspective of Ember and Drain)

The others were all doing their own things, catching up on sleep, planning on how to escape, trying to clear the tension, not Ember. Ember was just waiting for the perfect chance to betray them all, he saw the looks the others gave him, Yang and Buddy had told them all he had done. he didn’t care. He’d find his own way back home and leave all of them here. He went outside alone, he needed some time to himself to think. He was deep in plot when he heard a groaning sound coming from the pool-house, he walked towards it cautiously, he opened the door to see Drain, he was bleeding from the wing and several other places. “What are you going to do, terror bird. Slay me… perhaps tell your delicious friends where I am so they can finish me off!” He said angrily. “No.” Ember said. “Then what!” Drain said. “Neither of us like those fools. What if we teamed up, we could escape this place.” Ember said. “Leave?! Why… why would we leave when we could rule this glorious place, I didn’t come here the same as you, I was dead. Gone! This is no place you can leave, it is something much too powerful…” Drain said. “Perhaps your right. But how could the two of us kill all of them and conquer this place, we’re just two creatures.” Ember said. “There..(he pointed out of the shed) off in the distance, that obelisk, it beckons.. it knows what we must do.” Drain said. Ember thought this bat was a total loon, but he was better than the others. “What do you mean it beckons.” Ember asked. “When you first got here you were drawn to this place correct.” Drain asked. “No. We just thought it looked promising.” Ember said. “WRONG! they were called here, not us! Don’t you feel it! It’s calling us!!” Drain said with a cackle. Ember looked at the black obelisk in the distance, “I- I think I do feel, something..” he said. “Then let’s go! I can’t fly, those idiots tore my wings, but I’ll manage. Quickly before they wonder where you went!” Drain said. “Alright let’s go.” Ember said.
