Chapter 20

"What now," Alexis asked as Edward paced up and down an extravagant bedroom. The masked man, who introduced him to be a Mercenary named Lambda, showed them to Rose's private chambers where they now reside, "the people of Aura have a right to know what's about to happen."

Edward shook his head and stopped his pacing, "they wouldn't believe us," he pulls up his sleeve, reminding her about himself, "the SMF are most likely packing Seeker drones." He sits on the bed next to her and let's out a sigh, "but we have to try, right?"

A knock at the door and Lambda entered. It was hard to tell by the mask but he was in a panicked state. They quickly follow him through the halls to a room with a table of the surrounding area. "These represent Science Wielder aircraft," he held a handful of stones with runes on them then tossed them over the table and the move to the outer edges, "and this is Colossus," he throws a larger stone and it moves towards the eastern side of the table, "I estimate they will be on top of the city in less than twelve hours."

"Twelve hours," Alexis mutters then looks to Edward who clenched his fist, "that doesn't give the people much time to get to safety. Shelters are scarce due to warding of houses."

"But Seekers can make quick work on nullifying them," Edward finishes and looks to the larger stone on the map, "is there a way to transmit a message to all Magic Wielders in the city?"

Citizen in the streets continue about there normal day until a a ping sound rang through there head. "Attention," Lambda stated and a few citizens looked to the main structure, "this is Lambda, right hand of the Magus. This is an emergency telepathic message to to all Magic Wielders within Aura."

A long pause followed after then someone draws a deep breath. "I am Edward Gold or Exterminator to most of you," at that point all everyone looked to the main structure, "I mean no harm but you must listen. Just on the boarder are Science Wielder aircraft on a direct course for this city. They carry a weapon which will nullify your magic and a weapon which will end everything. I speak to you not as science nor magic but a man who wants to do right." An uproar of voices filled the streets in protest and Edward sighs, "you have no reason to believe me. I understand if you despise me. But I came here on my own free will and no Science Wielder would ever dare do such a thing. I beg of you, fight for what you believe in, protect the ones you love because your enemy marches on and they will be here upon day's end. They will destroy everything."

Edward lifts his hands off a glowing orb and turns back to Alexis and Lambda. "Now it is up to the people," Lambda responds, "what happens next will determine history."

"Gold," a voice shouts in Edward's head and he stumbles back a bit, "this is Arch Mage Devereaux of the High Guards. I don't much care for you as a person but your warning has been heard. I'll have Mages escort the citizens to safety."
