------[Flashback]------
Last night they announce "There would be an inspection in a whole day, everyone get checked this day but Young Zeppeli, Tyego, and Yudi just been clear on inspection that same night." And i had just did in this morning, they ask "Do you have any firearm?" I said "Yes."
So, i took Torana's revolver and hand it to them. Let the inspector check them.
"8 caliber, 8 caliber no match."
"Is this all your firearm ma'am?" I replied with "Yes, this is all firearms i have." The rest was a sabre i put display on the wall, they can only stare at them and put a note.
They quick on their work as they need to inspect 100 more people of this day, they said "Checked out, no lies detected, We're you know anyone who have a firearm in this race?" I replied with "No, i honestly don't but i know some. It was Administrator Yudi, he have one and Tyego might have some as well."
"Well, in that case we already check both of them and they are all clear." They apologise for the immediate inspection, i don't blame them alright. They better keep their job and control the pace of this risky race. "Haven't been this chaotic since the first ever PBR." One of the inspector said before bid farewell and leave.

.
"His word was sweet as honey and his action proved it all, he did make America great again. Demolish all corruption on land and embrace the bright future for America, he sadly met his demise before he realized his dream at 1890s and Nobody knows exactly why. I am pretty sure, this is one if not the place where he leave his marks."
'This town was stated to be one of Valentine mark he left behind, perhaps Yudi can lead me to explore this place in happy nation.' "I am interested to take a tour around, perhaps you could accompany around for my better understanding of America's history."
"Sure, i would love to accompany you here." He accept my request, but he also ask one thing in particular "You better don't do anything humiliating, this place is just quite smashing sickle."
At this point, i am 5' 4 and Yudi was still square on 6' whole. The visible height difference is came straight out of fridge, but i think Torana we're the same height as Yudi at this point.
"I can read you now!" Torana repond outside of the room, got me a little flabergastled.
"May i show you-"

"How wudn't you just say this town name is Valentine?" I just thought about it now.
"Why'd tcha change your-" No.
"What? You don't know yet?" Yudi suprised to heard what have said earlier Qota, visibly disappointed and began to explain the town itself.
"Valentine, town full of joy and spawn nest of cowboys and gang." He flatly said, keep the pace the exact same as they walk around museum.
'Are you just pull me on the end?' Need to keep the story going. 'Really? then what's up about the future?' No need to kill the hype, just wait.
"Miss Forgares, this is 'Shard of The Past'." Pointing at a picture of statue that reseble Valentine himself to bepiece of rune that felt familiar to Qota.
'You reuse it again don't you?' I am, you could have known what this would be connected to.
"This shard was found by Valentine himself at "The abyssal of nowhere", he made several of this as replica and they only work quarter off the original." Yudi barely took his eyes off that artifacts, this trigger something Qota would ever want to experience ever again.
"Mr. Yudi, we might need to move into another spot." A proposal given to Yudi, he snapped out and went into the next Valentine's marks upstairs.
"Why do i always did that- whenever i see it?" Yudi mumbled, Qota knew that it was a remain of something we don't want to know. 'Unless you are the one who made it.' Say less.
"This is a copy of the earliest manuscript prophet that lived a millenia ago." This time, he took a glance at the manuscript and took it immediately. Qota seems to be confused of Yudi's response.
"What? Aren't you gonna read it or something?" Qota clearly question which he responded with "We currently don't know the exact language it used there."
This left Qota speechless, because it clearly written "The Rome would win over europe and they would celebrate on it." Qota took a glance at the scripture once more, it says "Those who rebel against the will of fate shall take truth oppose on their way."
This continue as the scripture just flipping over and over again, revealing something to Qota. 'That was you the one who did it.'
It says "End is near, let new generation emerge. And follow second came of long lost prophet, shall he rule humanity for decades. Thus lead to the end of humanity within years said died."
"You have to be kidding me right now." Qota shocked, Yudi came to her and ask. "What is wrong Ms. Forgares?" As he glance to the scripture once more.
"There is no way." He muttered.
'Why did you make it the same since last time?' For some purpose.
"Did you know anything about this, Ms. Forgares?" Yudi still stutter with the scene before him which Qota replied with "God knows." while dragging Yudi to the next suposed place.
"That scripture-" Two word went out of Yudi's mouth before cut by Qota "Don't mind about it, it is irrelevant for now."
"But-" He tried to digest the very thing he know, pretty much just a blank mind he have after that strage moment. But he just get over it, went to the next thing.
.
------[Library section of Blackedge Museum]------
.
"Whoa, i don't know they have this on museum." Qota began to stare at the nothingness and 'You must have thought about that earlier.'
Torana began to move like a slacker with a darkened eyebag, he was mentally exhausted and looking traumatized. 'Dammit, why did he always peek to my mind.' Said Qota while putting a worried face.
"What have you do with it." He visibly terrified and stare at an empty space.
Qota pat Torana in his forehead "I have told you not to, but you always be the rockhead you are. Get along with it, just forget about the thing and NEVER attempt to do about it again."
Qota's mental image glitch for a second, revealing the thing Qota actually are. Torana actually less scared with Qota's revealing, but Yudi was visibly terrified but now he forget about it again.
"What have happened?" Yudi said in confusion as he Saw Torana stare at him in more confusion, Torana have ever seen a person that forget things this quickly. 'Nah, his memory was wiped again.'
Torana now understand why Qota keep him from see what Qota experienced on Qota's whole life.
"So what is this book about Valentine was?" Qota ask Yudi about it, he respond.
"Historia de Valentine" Yudi said.
"Historia de Valentine" Qota predict it at the same time.
"You know? But i don't finish it yet-" he visibly annoyed this time. But Qota point at a book, it says "Historia de Valentine, am i wrong?" Qota walk into the book and read it.
.
------{Torana's perspective}------
.
I have ever seen that such 'being' It was terrifying, i thought that the creator is human. But great god, the creator is something else. It have a massive eye in the middle, with a crown resebles horn and several theorem as it's ring. Definitely resembling non humane, it emit a massive amount of powers and an endless overflowing dark thoughts.
I cudn't stand to even read her minds when that happens, i swore that i would ever did that again. Good thing she is a good person, if she isn't then it was an end for me. For all of universes, shall came to an end with its turn.
"Plewis elaborate!" I shakingly ask her to explain this from the very start of this nonsensical race.
She just took a deep breath and went to a book titled "Historia de Valentine" She began to took the book and open it, Mr. Yudi also took a peek at the "Historia de Valentine" but i stubled upon one particular book that i put on my interest.
.
------{Qota's perspective}------
.
I felt bad for doing that to him, it feels wrong to see your loved ones terified at you. It also because of you. Yes generally, it was less humane choice to begin with. a part of things i can only do to keep him from endagering himself. At this point, i need an information regarding a plot i have found inside of this book. I tried to put back these things together, but it keep missing a spot on. I guess i should continue the living of this maiden.
Yes, i know this sounds wierd. youdefinitely need to keep track on the words. It should known to be impactful later on.
It says, "Valentine was a spoiled man that have the high sense of justice, he have ever caught slacking or even doing such a really problematic crimes. The way he took everyones heart and almost catching to his dreams, such an inspiration for a poetry but his death is a mysterious one. Some says he died out of accident, but some would says he was killed and went missing. But one thing that was true, it was revealed that Ghetsis the vice back president of United North America have already bear the burden passed from Valentine himself before he went missing." It says more than Yudi have shown so far.
"Have any info have related to his disappearance?" I might expect too much from Yudi. But i know he is somewhat related to Valentine, but never trough Ghetsis.
"You don't know the new information yet? He was confirmed dead several decades ago, already been buried in Philadelphia because it was his hometown. It was a heartbreaking moment, his corpse have been found to be permanently freezed and quite radioactive to begin with. With his last moment before he lost too many iron on his body was die with a smile, as his corpse almost perfectly preserved with a minor swirling wound all over his body and nothing had ever touch it ever since." That was quite an interesting founding, thus whoever killing him knows spin.
"However, that is the only thing i can show you. It might just end here, but maybe you want to play billiard?" As he point towards the historic area of playable biliards in this museum, odd.

.
"Great, it was my turn." He said after winning a "rock paper scissors" with me. "Well, go ahead." i said while properly analyze his movements, he use a very unique technique.
Balls scatter to chaos once he start, he got the odd number therefore i got the even. It was his turn again, but he missed the spot. "Dammit, why did this always happen?" [1-0]
"Sometimes, i think about my relation with Valentine. It feel a bit wierd, i say something have creeping me out of this guilt feeling." He randomly said, maybe he was quite high.
"Are you high? Anyway, mein turn." I said, send in 3 balls to the hole. Left Yudi astonished, but i caught flinched while tried to put my 4th to the holes. "Not bad, i haven't lost my touch yet." [1-3]
"You know, you might be right. Maybe i quite am high, maybe because something about this place. I always felt something was off about this place, but i am not certain."
He take a peek at our game and left flabbergastled "How could you do that?" While putting 2 balls into the hole, he also missed in his 4th ball. "Dang, this is tough. You are better than i expected, perhaps you are really capable of doing it." [3-3]
"Wait, seriously? You really onto that? Maybe i could, but it might be quite a challenge." I put 4 balls into the hole, but missed the final one. "Dang, thats close." [3-7]
He seriously in a shock, but continue to do his best. He ended up only score 2 balls, but left me on disadvantegous position. [5-7]
"Sometimes, i felt what Valentine went trough as if i were there. This moment remind me of the exact he play billiard, this game felt eerily familiar. But your shot felt different, but the result was the exact same."
"This is hard, maybe i ran out of luck." Just as i expected, the final ball bounces back and the white ball enter the hole. "I guess i really out of luck. Well, better not screw up yourself." I said, already accept my defeat. [5-7]
"Fine, this isn't gonna disappointing." He pull out 2 clean shot, but he did a risky trickshot at last and he somehow suceed. "Guess, you win." I generally praise him. Even tho i look like a brat who only focusing on my game, i heard what he said this whole time.
He stare at me "i already know the outcome, a fixed point in time." His glare turn souless, as we went back to the dorm.
"It's like a burning memories, ever be the same and scarring over the psyche. Took longer time to recover than physical cause, it always be." Yudi said, his hand visibly tremorred and his face began to pale out.
"Why are you shaking? You don't do it when we confront, what have came onto your mind? Maybe something related to valentine somehow?" I bombarding him with question, but he just barely respond.
"Yes, i'll tell you later." He was tired, more trembling than ever. Perhaps it was best for him to hold it, i hope he can really came out fine enough.
Torana interject "I get you man, that was a horrifying experience." tapping Yudi's shoulder, revealing his own face to be paler than snow.
Anyway, "See you on next stop!" as Yudi silently walk away "I promise!" His mood change drastically, it seems like something have change on himself.
.

.
Fast forward, this isn't gonna be a long type. "So, what did you saw?" I ask Torana about earlier, "How are you be really chill with it? I can't imagine how terrifying that thing was! I lost that part, what it looks like?"
"I told you, just forget about it. You seriously don't want to end up like that again." Torana finnaly confinced, "Yea, i don't want to do that again. I could die when doing it, anyway why was Admin Yudi be that terrified?"
Honestly "I don't know, perhaps a flash of synchronized memory from Valentine's era?" My guess, perhaps true. "I mean, his death was confirmed and the corpse only have little wounds exclude the spinning scarhole."
What took you so long for this chapter?
