"MAXIMA"

Mira was in her class she , noticed Nicolas was sleeping in class . She took her book and banged his head as hard as she could . Nicolas woke up and looked at her .

"What's up", she asked.

"Just resting for a bit" ,he responded. Then leaned back on the desk.

"You never sleeps unless something is disturbing your , come on spill it out ", she said . The professor entered and told them to quite down a little.

"Tell me on the way to my dorm", Mira told Nicolas.

Silence appeared in Nicolas's house living room he walked towards the photos and saw a picture of two boys with their parents . He frowned and looked around the room and he closed his eyes ,purple ripples moved through the ground .He opened his eyes and saw that part of the wall was glowing. He walked up towards it his pitch black bandaged hands touched the wall and they sizzled he immediately pulled them back .

"A protective seal,I need to find the key, he must have it on him",he said then sinked into the floor.

"So that's what happened , but you have no proof it's him ,Nic", Mira said .

"Seasonal Arkives are only handed over only once every half decade or so after the holder dies ", he said .

"So if he did die fifteen years ago, another holder would appear about forty years from now ", Mira followed .

"This is confusing", Mira said and sat down on the bathroom sink . " Hey, say that you died and became an Ownie would your Arkive remain even in your form",she asked .

Nicolas looked in doubt ,he didn't know. He looked at the bathroom mirror and sighed.

"Razario, is it possible", he asked . His reflectio turned to him and smiled .

"I, might but why should I tell you ", it said then looked at Mira.

"This freeks me out everytime I see this, am going outside for a minute". She exited the room . "Mira ?,why are you coming it out of the boys bathroom", asked Lillith. Mira stood there in shock.

"Come on spill", said Nicolas .The reflection just smirked and turned around.

"Why, are you acting like this you know you will take over my body the moment I use the last three seals , that's not long to go", Nicolas said .

"I will tell you something else", said his reflection.

Nicolas exited the bathroom and found Mira and Lillith.

"So, you where also in there , what were you doing in there ", asked Lillith.

" We were talking about something private that we didn't want anyone to here, Lillith", responded Nicolas.

"You remembered my name ", she said .

"Of coarse " ,responded Nicolas. "But what are you doing here " asked Nicolas .

"I was going to meet up with my sis , and this is a short cut",she said .

"Mind, if we go with you ", Nicolas asked .

"Of course " , she answered. They started walking the Nicolas stopped and looked back .

"What's wrong ", asked Mira.

"Nothing ", he responded and followed behind them while side eyeing behind them .

Nicolas was on his way home when a he saw a crow on a electricity pole it crowed and flew away he looked behind him and continued to walk home . He opened the door and went to the living room he threw his bag on the table and threw himself on the couch then he seemed tense . He stood by the table then walked to their family picture from seventeen years ago. He looked around them walked to one of the walls and placed his hand on it . The hand entered the wall and pulled out a wooden box, he placed it on the floor and opened it their where two objects rolled in grey cloth . He closed it and placed it back into the wall .

The next day everything went well and Nicolas was on his way home when he noticed the crow again , he sighed and went home. He stopped at the door and looked around when he placed his hand on the handle a purple light appeared from both sides he removed his hand right in time. The door handle fell to the ground.

" Impressive , I only wanted your fingers , you just made it harder for yourself ", said a voice behind him .

Nicolas turned around and saw an Ownie rapped in bandages head to toe. "Don't ,you know it's shamefull to ambush someone at night real men fight head on", said Nicolas with a grin on his face .

"Then forgive me and allow me to fight like man", said the Ownie.

"What's your name?" asked Nicolas .

"Silence ", the Ownie answered.

Nicolas kneeled down and placed his hands on the ground then he pulled out the black blades . He stood up and looked at the Ownie.

"This is rather disappointing, I thought we were fighting with hands after all you said men fight head on ", said Silence.

"I didn't say anything about not allowing weapons , did I ", said Nicolas .

The Ownie clenched it's fists and started to walk towards Nicolas
