CHAPTER FOUR Eric walked down the passage which had black tiles on its floor and up the walls; doors on his left and right as he walked passed; each door had a tag. He walked past a door labelled Saturn, another Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury. The doors were labelled with planets of the solar system except Earth; they were not labelled for figurative purpose because each door actually leads to the planets mentioned; those doors were known as “Dimensional Gates”.Eric opened a brown door in front of him which had no tag, the door led to a large library, he climbed up three steps and was standing in the large room full of book shelves; one could spend a life time dedicated to reading and still not finish the books in this library.

Who would send a little boy like you to come take the life of a man?”“Your past” Eric replied“What are you talking about?”“Could you have forgotten so easily” Eric asked“I do not know what you are talking about”“You will remember” Eric said and immediately threw the spear at Sodiq, the force takes him to the wall and pins him to the wall as he screamed in pain; Eric walked closer to him as Ruth ru
