Eternal Curse: Battleground 7.1 (wip)

Mira and I carefully and quietly snuck out of our private quarters and then out the hotel’s side entrance, as we headed to the poorest and most dangerous part of the city, so we could find the shanties. There we gave an old man a gold coin and a piece of plant based writing material, with a strange symbol on it that we’d been instructed to draw out. The symbol appeared to be the shape of the letter ‘U’ overlapped by three rings. Two parallel horizontal rings intersected at a one-third perpendicular across a longer vertical ring, caused all three together to resemble the appearance of a cross. We were told to give the coin to the first elderly man we saw and to show him the image so that, then, we would be lead to the secret caves.

Eternal Curse: Battleground 7.0 (wip)

As much as I disdained to consume medications, it was crucial for me to be sedated on the plane so I could block out the bombardment of negative thoughts flowing from the minds of all the other passengers. I thought I’d take the herbal concoction of Valerian Root and Kava Kava before boarding the plane, but Mira said that she wanted me alert, to be able to sense out evil actions if anyone were planning to do something. The worst thing about using my abilities around people, was knowing that the potential for evil was all around us at so many varying levels. Since no one was planning to kill anyone on the plane or take it over, as far as I could tell, I just had to let all the rest of the negativity go, so we could reach our much desired destination without any trouble. Once my mental inspection was complete, I welcomed my concoction of sedation.

Eternal Curse: Battleground 6.2 (wip)

“I’m twelve years old. I’m just a kid,” he said. “I’m supposed to be opposed to war, it’s called childlike innocence and naiveté; that doesn’t make me a terrorist.” He leaned forward and held out his hand towards me. “I’ve agreed to help you because my sister said you might be able to get me out of here.”

I took his hand and shook it. I was amazed by his reaction, or lack thereof, concerning the exchange of my energy. Clearly he felt it, but he simply looked into my eyes and then shrugged his shoulders. Then I began to explain our situation concerning his release. “It’s already in the works, though it may take some time. While we will do all we can for you, there’s something we need from you right now.” Mira handed him a package as we spoke quickly and quietly.
