Chapter 43 - Diary Of A Young Girl (1/2)
Z produced a massive bubble of water for him to move around.
”Time Boy, I said you are with me,” she stated, once more.
”Coordinates?”
”Amsterdam, ten minutes,” she replied.
”Consider it accomplished, Mav,” said the Time Mage, as he opened a mini Time Frame.
As they got to the area, Raiyen was considerably astonished. The entire area looked like a ghost town. No one was out. In times of crisis, it was normal for civilians to persist in being inside. But by far this was too drastic.
There was a huge difference between scared and dead. The streets were the result of people being afraid to come out or simply because the residents there were already gone. Both answers gave scarcely to no comfort to the Time Mage as the three regrouped.
”So, what's the plan?” asked Raiyen as Mavislin landed.
”Patrol.”
As they looked around, Z identified something odd with a particular building. Massive trucks were about to pull up at that the house. Raiyen dashed into the building without missing a beat. There was no mistake; they were rounding up the people inside. Z swayed his head as Mavislin yelled.
”Damn it!” yelled Mav, swiftly following the Time Boy.
Z caught up with Mavislin as she tried reprimanding the Time Boy. Raiyen was shocked as he recognized the family that was about to be rounded up. The shock increased as he managed to lay eyes on the most junior girl. Raiyen had examined her book, her diary before.
It was unknowingly lucky to have read the book when he was experimenting with Time Ripper. It turns out that pulling out random objects from the Void was not such an extravagant idea. However, it might narrowly save the family and situation before him.
If Raiyen recalled correctly, only the father would be able to survive the concentration camps. All but one out of the eight will come back alive. If he was able to send them away to another protected place, it might preserve their lives...
”And don't tamper with what you shouldn't!”
Mavislin's words from the night punched through his mind as Raiyen smacked himself on the forehead. What the hell was he thinking?! He can't undertake that! One of the reasons why the Diary Of A Young Girl became so popular was due to the war. Because the author had died as a developing child, forever stuck in the remnants of war.
Her father published his daughter's book to fulfill the wishes of his perished child. A father will wish for nothing but the best for his children. The least he could do was make her last dying wish come true. To unveil the world on how children get affected by war.
