Chapter 99: 99. Leaving Earth

"Are those similar to runes?"

Asked Mack, incapable of controlling his curiosity.

[It's a language that derived from it, yes. But is far weaker compared to runes]

Mack could not avoid but touching the engravings at entrance, and seeing the pass of time on it, it had stayed that way for thousands of years.

[Lets go kid, don't play with those things, they are useless]

"Yes Yes"

Said Mack, hurrying his steps to follow the old man.

When it comes to runes, Mack would look like a child with new toys, even if they were just a variation of it. He could not control himself, it was something that always picked Mack curiosity.

[We need to hurry and activate this while is still night]

"Why that?"

[Because this is an old array, and I need to be able to see the stars and do the calculations to be able to input the correct numbers, also, Earth is not in sync with any modern 'navigation' metrics, this is just a forsaken planet]

"Is it because of the Essence?"

[Yes and no, this is a too far away planet in this dimension. It's like being the last house of the most far away neighbourhood in the most isolated city of Antartica, if they still call it this way]

"Yes, it is. If it is this isolated, why did they put a tower here?"

Said Mack, walking behind the old man down the tunnels of the Pyramid.

[Exactly because of that, they choose remote places to be 'out' of the eyes of the Mage Association]

"Makes sense, if was not for you coming to Earth, they would never send acolytes here too."

[Yes, but Earth was not the initial target of them here. It was Mars, but those fuckers destroyed their own planet. Not even a brick was left behind, such a crazy civilization.]

"What?!!! There was life at Mars?"

Screamed Mack, unable to control his own curiosity again.

[Yes, but that was more than a hundred aeons ago, Humans didn't even exist on Earth back then]

"What is this 'aeons' you keep talking? It confuses me every time. Is this equivalent to a thousand years from Earth?"

[No, If compared to Earth it would be, around a hundred thousands years]

"That long? So the tower will be closed for three hundred thousand years? How many time did you lived old man? Now I'm scared that you even saw the Earth be formed or something."

[HaHaHaHa, Indeed, this solar system of yours is just a baby compared to me]

Mack could not believe what this old man was saying. How could someone live for so many years?

"That old? I don't believe."

[What? Do you expect less of the most powerful warlock to ever exist?]

"Its... its... its just too much!"

Mack could still not believe the old man. It was too much time for someone to be alive.

[Kid, what if I told you that are beings out there that saw this entire dimension be born, and they are still alive and kicking?]

"Humans? Like you and me?"

[I never said they were humans. There are too many species out there, humanoids, is just one type of them]

"And me thinking I'm old by reaching my 30s"

Lamented himself Mack, on Earth, thirty years old was something akin to a 'old man' already in some places.

[HaHaHaHa you are too green kid, too green]

"I'm starting to believe you."

Said Mack, mocking himself for his ignorance about everything outside Earth.

[We finally here]

Said Harlack, signaling with his head to the floor of the spacious chamber they were.

Mack looked at it but could not see anything there that was remotely similar to an array.

Then, as if to prove that Mack was wrong, Harlack looked up to his right side and Mack saw a hole that went up all the way to outside of the pyramid.

Harlack did the same on his left side and drew a few runes on the floor.

Mack recognized those some of those runes but others he never saw before, then, like his right hand tatoo, a row of numbers were written around all the runes.

[Put your cape in sleep mode kid, it will interfere with the array]

Said Harlack, pointing to Mack's back.

Mack did as he told and the Argonian cape vanished.

[Also, from now on, only use the cape in covert operations, only when needed, you need to stop showing all your cards all the time, where we are going, people would kill you just for a few bucks for selling the cape, and no one would bat an eye]

"What about the swords? Dont they will try to steal too?"

[Those swords.... only one person apart from me knows they exist, and it's the actual Head of the Mage Association. For others, this sword is just a bunch of black iron put together with no value at all]

"I see. I guess I'm not stepping foot there for a while, note taken"

[HaHaHaHa, if you step foot there, geez, you are as dead as those people from Mars, kid, there are too much things you don't know, until you are confident of doing something don't even try to, there are too many types of spell and species out there]

Said Harlack, already putting a white crystal in a small hole in the floor.

Mack, seeing this, suddenly thought of something.

"Is this a multi-layered matrix?"

[Correct. Those runes connect them to pass the coordinates for the transportation matrix that is at the very bottom of this pyramid. While the crystal supply the energy for it, its only missing the activation]

"Should I do something? Like hold hands with you? or something?"

[HaHaHaHa, holding hands, you are indeed funny kid. No, just stay still. This is a transportation chamber. Everything inside here will be transported]

Said Harlack, writing the last rune on the floor and kicking it with his foot.

A small spark was made, and a flash of light made Mack go blind again.
