QUESTION:
Is my story/ book good so far?
Prologue
“I told you, I don’t have it!” The dark-skinned, white haired, old man spoke, struggling against the younger, stronger arm around his thin and fragile neck.
“Then where the hell is it!” Said the 27 year old man. His hair, swept in a pony tail kept whipping on his green scarred face.
“Sa chathair a cailleadh de ór, in The Lost City of Gold”, the old Irish man, of Celtic origins’ final words before Flintlock, the younger man, twisted the old man’s’ neck three hundred and sixty degrees.
“Thank you for your co-operation”, he said with an evil glint in his eye and an equally evil smirk on his face.
Chapter 1
The first time Vladimir Lev set his grey eyes on Afsoon Arash, he knew that the journey they were about to embark on, wasn’t going to be a pleasant one. She was his exact opposite in every possible way, through his 21 year old eyes. Whereas he was casual, muscular, and broad shouldered, she was emaciated, dressed as she was off to parliament, and had that cold look through her glasses and in her eyes that were colder than Vladimirs’ city, Siberia.
“You Vladimirovich?” Her first of many questions, in a high shrill voice.
“Vlad” Vladimir put forth his hand. She did not shake it.
“Have any leads of its whereabouts?” She forenamed. Forthwith Vlad replied,
“Haven’t a damn clue.”
“Bloody communists can’t do anything right.” She muttered with the thick Persian accent she had.
“Better than selling a bloody rug” replied Vlad, mimicking her accent.
“Touché. Now the medallion was last seen in Dublin, Ireland, at some second rate hotel. The Academy informed me that the trip money was given to you. Am I correct?” Afsoon glanced up from the folder she was looking at.
“Done. Two first class tickets to Dublin. We’re going Air A.K., The academy’s private airline. We leave in five minutes, Dubai Airport.” Said Vlad looking up from the BlackBerry.
“How do we get there?” she inquired shyly. “I didn’t know the academy had an airline.” She said, changing the subject.
“Gee, do you know any means of transportation?” Vlad asked sarcastically. Afsoon touched his shoulder and together they vanished from the spot.
Approximately twenty three milliseconds later, above the average teleportation speed, they appeared in a female lavatory, five meters away from gate 26, A.K. Airlines flight to Dublin. “How the hell do you get used to that?! If I was claustrophobic I would have passed out!” Vlad exclaimed, on all fours on the floor of the washroom.
“We are in the girls’ washroom. Does that make you feel any better?” teasing him, she said.
“What?!” his voice now a whisper. Then he shrunk. And shrunk. And shrunk until he was the size of a rat. “Put me in your purse and get me out of here!” His voice came out in a helium sound.
“Fine. But if you touch my wallet, I’ll flush you down! That’s one flaw in your skill.”
Once back to regular size after a visit to the men’s room, Vlad joined Afsoon in the line for their gate.
“Gate 26, last call, gate 26.”
Something cold and sharp touched the back of Vlad and Afsoon’s neck. “Come quietly, and you have a larger chance of survival.” The voice was deep and husky.
Vlad mouthed, “One, two, and three!!!” Afsoon grabbed Vlad’s arm and they appeared behind the hooded figure who was about to decapitate them. He was a tall bloke, he was. Flintlock took steroids and supplements to take care of his body. Vlad now, after growing, stood taller than flintlock. He knocked the sword out of his hand. “Nice try.” Vlad picked Flintlock up with a hand and chucked Flintlock ten, twenty inches deep into the marble wall of the airport. “ God, I love the Veil.” He muttered. The Veil was a magical force that covered normal humans’ eyes of any magical activities.
Flintlock got out of the wall. Unscathed. “Shit, run!” Vlad kept kicking big chunks of marble at Flintlock, but Flintlock just walked through them, leaving them in two pieces.
“I hate the Achilles Clan. And their green faces.”Afsoon stated after they had teleported to Dublin. That was a risk as Dublin, like few other places in the world, Islamabad, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, Moscow, and a couple of others, did not have the veil. Vlad returned to normal. As for the Achilles Clan, they were a clan of people who were invincible but for one part of their body, an Achilles heel if you will. It was named so.
“He is the past now. Do you know the location of the hotel?” Vlad said. After they had had arrived Vlad shrunk, to the size of an ant his time, and did a little scouting. “All clear. Apart from police tape all across the employees entrance. Apparently an old waiter was murdered about 15 minutes ago. Twisted neck. And witnesses- two 9 yea
