Chapter 27: Chapter 27: We are not in that kind of relationship.
"The chosen ones have come out of the realm of God. They're on their way to the portal as we speak," Russel said on the phone. "The president wants you to observe them, and perhaps get something from them about what the Realm of God looks like," Russel continued.
They started to call the Awakeners who were blessed and entered the Realm of God as the Chosen One. They were elites among elites which made them different from any other Awakeners, even if they already had a sponsor.
"Me? I'm busy at the moment. I'll send someone in my stead," Mykel replied as he looked at the documents that he had borrowed from Harold.
"I see, then please immediately send them to Montana," Russel said and then hung up the phone.
Mykel put down the phone and then glanced at the photos inside the documents. There were dozens of photos of all the ex-presidents of the United States wearing the waist cloak with the Illuminati symbol. All of them were there except Richard, and he wondered if Richard was a part of the world order.
"You need something?" Elena asked as she entered Mykel's office.
"Go to Montana. The Awakeners have come back from the Realm of God. You can bring Jeanne and Aurea with you and try to gather some information about what's behind that door," Mykel answered.
"Okay..." Elena nodded her head and walked out the door.
"Wait, when did you pierce your ears?" Mykel asked when he saw piercings in her ears, quite a lot of them as well. "Also, you dyed your hair black," Mykel was curious about the sudden change in Elena's appearance.
"Last night we had a girl's night, and I'm interested in piercings and this too. Do I look good or it's bad?" Elena asked as she brushed her hair and looked at it.
"Yes, you do, but please don't overdo it. I have seen people get addicted to piercings so I hope that your ears would be the only place you pierced," Mykel answered.
"Okay, I promise," Elena smiled and then left to inform Jeanne and Aurea.
Mykel put the documents inside the drawer and then grabbed his suit as he walked out of his office. He didn't tell anyone where he went and just hopped into the helicopter and told the pilot the place he wanted to go.
"Thirty out of fifty states have been reclaimed, twenty states left," Mykel said as he looked at the current situation that Russel provided.
Mykel looked out the window and thought about the twenty-three Chosen Ones that had just come out of the door. So far, there were two hundred Chosen Ones all over the world, and they started to take over nations just like Mykel.
"Sir, we will be arriving in ten minutes," The pilot said to Mykel.
Mykel hummed and then looked down where all he saw was nothing but a vast desert. He was going to Texas and he heard that Texas had the highest amount of demons that roamed in a single state.
The helicopter landed in the middle of the desert, and then Mykel walked out to explore the whole state on his own. The helicopter left and waited for his call in the nearest and safest state. The pilot glanced at Mykel and was amazed at how brave he was to explore the most hostile area in the whole country.
"Now that I'm on my own, let's see how far I have regained my power," Mykel clenched his fists and cracked his neck.
(Montana, restricted area)
Elena, Jeanne, and Aurea looked at the giant portal in the distance which couldn't be compared to the door. They were curious where they would be teleported to if they entered the portal, but Mykel ordered them to not mess with it yet.
"Elena? Is that you?" Victor asked from behind.
Elena turned around and saw Victor, James, Morris, and Travis with their vice leaders and a few of their members. They had just arrived, just like her, and it seemed that Mykel wasn't the only one that Richard asked.
"It's been a while, Victor," Elena gently smiled at him.
"Yes, it is. I almost didn't recognize you with your new appearance. You look good," Victor said and smiled back at her.
"Are you here for the same reason as ours?" Elena asked and disregarded Victor's compliment because she only cared about Mykel's opinion of her.
"It appears so. Have you seen them yet?" James asked and stole a glance at Jeanne who had been silently staring at the portal with Aurea next to her.
"Speaking of the devil, there they are," Elena tilted her head and stared at something behind Victor and the others.
Twenty-three Native Americans entered the restricted area with weird-looking accessories on their bodies. Necklaces made of nails, bracelets made of sharp teeth, and circlets or crowns made of roots. They also carried tomahawks, spears, and bows on each of them that looked like primitive weapons.
"Excuse me, can we have a moment with one of you?" Morris asked as he tried to stop them from walking toward the portal.
A man who seemed to be the leader of the team looked at Morris with a disliked stare. He then looked at the man behind him and tilted his head toward Morris. The man nodded his head and stayed behind as the rest of them continued to walk toward the portal.
"What do you want?" The man asked as he looked at Morris.
"We are curious about what happened when you entered the door, that's all," Morris asked with a gentle smile.
"I can't tell you that. Even if you try to use force on me, my mouth is sealed," The man answered. "If you have nothing else to say, then don't bother us. We are ordered to protect our land from the demons," he continued and then walked away.
"Are you sure you can keep your mouth shut?" Victor asked as he glanced at the man.
The man stopped walking and took a moment before he turned around to look at Victor. "You're not God, what makes you think I'm scared of you?" The man asked back. "Don't act tough, you don't know what we have been through in there," he continued and walked away.
"Well, that was fast," Aurea scoffed.
"That's quite disappointing, Victor. I thought you're good at something else other than flirting and impressing women with your wealth," Elena said with a mocking smile. "Jeanne, can you please handle this for us?" Elena asked Jeanne.
Jeanne nodded her head and then approached the man.
"I have one question if you don't mind?" Jeanne asked as she walked right behind the man.
The man glanced at Jeanne and stared at her for quite a while because he felt something about her that made him think she was different than the others. He nodded his head and let Jeanne ask a question that she wanted.
They watched as the man talked to Jeanne and he seemed to be explaining something to her. They wanted to hear what they were talking about, but they were too far away and the man spoke quietly. Not long after that, Jeanne smiled and nodded her head at the man. She then left and came back to Elena and Aurea, but she didn't say anything and kept it a secret from the rest.
"You got it?" Elena asked.
"Yes, we are done here," Jeanne nodded her head.
"Done? What do you mean you're done here? You haven't told us what you know. At least shares it with us first," Travis said and looked at Jeanne.
"I believe nobody said anything about sharing, and I believe we are not in that kind of relationship where we share anything with each other. So, if you want to know, you should go and ask them before they get into the portal," Elena said with her arms crossed and stared at Travis.
"You're not going to enter the portal?" Morris asked.
"No, why should we?" Aurea asked back.
"So you're scared?" Travis scoffed as he looked at Aurea.
"Yes, and you should too," Jeanne answered before Aurea could say something that would make a scene. "It's better to be over-prepared and felt underwhelmed than under-prepared and felt overwhelmed. We are in a situation where life and death are right in front of us," Jeanne explained.
"There are so many of us here right now, and they're the best from our guilds. Not to mention, the Chosen Ones are also with us, so there shouldn't be a problem," James said as he looked at them and the Chosen Ones that had gathered in front of the portal.
"So you're the type of person who's relying on others. What are you going to do if you ended up on your own in there? Do you think that won't be a problem?" Elena asked. "I don't want to trust my life with someone like that. If you're not confident with yourself, don't hide yourself in the crowds and pretend that you're not," Elena continued. "We are not confident with ourselves, and that's why we're not going in," Elena said.
"They're not wrong. We should wait until their return and ask them what's inside that portal first. We then can put a precaution and prepare ourselves," Morris said and looked at the others.
"Good, we will see you guys when the time comes," Elena said and then left with Aurea and Jeanne.
