Zatorra: The Mind Stone

Midian Celcius

Archimedes crafted a briljant gem that could rob people of their will and make them do whatever the owner said. He realized the potential danger form his invention and throw it in the sea. Their it was left for more than a millennium. It washed on a shore in California. A beachcomber decided to sell it at a jeweler. The man never saw a stone like this and gave the founder a sum of one 1000 dollar.  Trevor, paid 1500 dollar he  had been saving to by a necklace for his sweetheart. The jeweler had cut the gem in pieces and remade them into rings and necklaces. Jones bought the necklace.

Outside he was compelled, looking at the glittering stone, a voice stated wear me. He put the necklace on.

Zatorra’s orb of Knowledge went off. He gazed into it. Oh, my God, Archimedes stone has been found. ‘Who’s what now?’
‘A brilliant Greek inventor who lived before Christ.’ he said, follow me

They went to the pentagram. Zatorra put a piece of chalk in his pocket and gave everybody green translucent glasses. ‘It will protect you from the rays of the crystal.’
‘What does that crystal do?’
‘Rob you of your mind.’
‘They flashed to Los Angeles. Zatorra really stood out in his robe.

‘Maybe you should try out something a bit more casual.’

‘Sush, said Zatorra, he took his gem and made contact with Archimedes crystal.’

‘He is heading for the beach.

 

Trevor felt the urge to get some money, he stood before a  person. ‘Give me all your money.’ the man hazed at the crystal and gave Trevor a thousand bucks.

‘I can get used to this.’ Trevor grinned

At the beach he went to a bar. A screwdriver please.

‘What is that.’

‘Vodka with orange juice.’

‘You are too young.’

‘No, you find me the right age, and all the drinks are on the house.’ he said

The man next to him said: ‘quit being annoying, kid.’

‘You leave and pee in your pants every time when you are sleeping Trevor said to him.’

The man hazed at the crystal and left.’

He drank his screwdriver and looked at the beach. Lots of pretty girls. Trevor was small and skinny for his age. He became 18 next month and looked a lot younger, he had tall brown hair and wore beach clothes,  a cotton shirt and Bermuda short. On his feet he wore sandals. Zatorra appeared, the boy at the bar. Rick zapped him with his ring. The boy went down. ‘Nice and subtle, Rick.’ Glory said sarcastic, she had half long black hair a pretty face with sexy big lips and a couple of beautiful dark brown eyes. She were a two piece. Vest and skirt. on her legs she wore nylons and she had black pumps on.

She photographed the youth and the necklace. Zatorra touched the gem with his own. The gem of his stored the magic of the other. Trevor was left with a dull gem around his neck, powerless.

‘What happened?’ he asked ‘I was at the jewelry to buy me girlfriend something and that necklace talked to me. ‘Where is that jeweler?’

On the corner of the California street. They hurried towards it. Zatorra entered. ‘You came into possession of a stone, did you manufacture more from it than a necklace?’

‘Only a ring, the rest of the stone was damaged. The buyer just left.’

They left. The buyer turned his head. Zatorra froze. ‘That’s right old friend Victor Von Mannstein has the gem.  He wore a necklace like the professor. ‘Run.’ he yelled to Rick and Glory.

‘No way, I stay and punch that freak.’

A powerful beam sprang from Victor’s ring. Rick was blasted a yard further. ‘You should obey your teacher, lad, you are no match for me. Nick stood up and blasted Victor with his ring.

‘Tough learner isn’t he?’ Victor zapped him again, but Rick jumped  a side. He ran with Glory.

‘See them go, with their tail between their legs. Reminds me of you when we battled Beelzebub.

‘I wanted him gone from  this plane of existence , you were eager to steal his power. I left him to you.’

‘That’s your version of the facts. He used the necklace. ‘Be my slave.’

‘With my goggles on, the gem is useless.’

‘Then we remove the goggles.’

He blasted the professor.

‘Aegis.’ the professor said

A shield appeared making the blast stop. ‘Always hiding between something. Let’s make this a little more physical. ‘Gladius.’ he spoke, a sword appeared in his hand

‘Fulmen.’ said Zatorra and a lightning bolt hit Victor, throwing him back unconscious. The professor took his ring and held it to his necklace. Victor regained consciousness. Fine, keep that stupid trincket, he took his sword. ‘Gladius.’ the professor exclaimed

He too had a sword, they started a bitter fight. Victor slashed, the professor blocked with his sword. He did a stabbing attack, but Vicor side stepped and slashed vertically, the professor was injured and lost blood, he took some with his hand and  said:’Excido.’

Victor disappeared. ‘medicōsus’ he said. The wound shut himself.

‘Rick ran towards him, are you okay?’

‘Yes, the wound has healed. And you?’

‘Some bruises nothing serious.’

‘Glory had taken pictures of the fight.’

‘I smell a front page again.’

‘When are you gonna stop writing for that rag.’

‘The daily Inquisitor is hardly a rag Rick Woods.’

‘I think it’s strange. That stone doesn’t become damaged. The jeweler was telling a lie.’

He saw him left the store. He mesmerized someone and took his wallet.

‘The jeweler, has a piece of the gem.’

‘Zatorra, you glasses are broken, take mine Rick said.’

‘Thanks Rick, he and Glory went after the jeweler. He continued stealing wallets, taking money and throwing them away. ‘Stop.’ Zatorra said

‘You again.’ The jeweler wore a large piece of the stone, ‘leave me alone.’

‘Not without giving me that jewel.’ Zatorra said firmly

‘Obey me, jump in front of a car.’

‘Now you aren’t only a thief but a murderer to.’

‘Those goggles, the block my power, aren’t they?’

He said to two boys in their twenties: ’Ruin their goggles.’

Before Zatorra could act the goggles were ripped off and destroyed.

‘Zatorra became compelled by the crystal, kill your female companion. Then you are the murderer.’

‘Fulmen.’ Zatorra said, Rick jumped in front of her and said; ‘Aegis.’

A shield protected them. ‘Excido.’ Rick stated

The jeweler disappeared.

‘Thanks, Rick, you saved the day.’

‘Were are those persons go to after you wish them away, into another dimension on an earth that has no living creatures, but food and water an enough. Magic doesn’t exist there. The can’t come back without me wanting to.

He drew a pentagram on the ground with the chalck, the stepped on it and disapeared. Back to home. Castle Noctus lay waiting for them, for the next event and battle to take place.
