Just as sun was about to rise on the first day of darkness, Andrews and Matthews stood on the bridge of faith, the same bridge from where Solomon had jumped from Elisium to enter Aden and change its fortunes. Whether it was just a coincidence or an irony of destiny that this bridge was built from same the cliff, from whose replica in Aden, Andrews had slipped into this world seven years ago. It was now time for Andrews to return back to his own world and bring a new wave of transformation.

the paragraph is broken[img=recommend]

"Not only the people in this world, but people in Aden have also suffered," said Jacob, "and we are some prime examples of that. Banished from our world for no apparent reason. And I have to say that our adversities are also somehow because of Andrews. Apparently, towards the end of every loop, the consciences of some powerful people in the brighter world, begin to decline. They try to seize power by unholy means which forces the Bearer of the Amulet to leave his world and travel to the other. Eventually these events trigger the Transition. As per the legends, this cycle had repeated in every loop, but this all happens in the twenty first cycle of every loop. The seeds of greed and envy are there, hidden in people's subconscious, but they don't start to germinate until the end of nineteenth or twentieth cycle and they finally culminate in the twenty first cycle, right towards the end of the loop. But because of something that Andrews saw here, and with all the information he took from this world, those hidden seeds of greed quickly grew into a tree of rapacity. What should have happened in the twenty first cycle happened in the fifteenth. The righteous king, our great grandfather King Samuel, was lured by a devil to taste the forbidden fruit. It resulted in him getting banished from Aden and his family getting hunted down, imprisoned and then banished, just like him. After Samuel, a family of ravenous gluttonous demons took over the reins of our world. With six cycles still remaining in the loop, they hard-pressed themselves in trying to change the dynamics of the nature's wheel. By exploiting the resources and people of this world, and by subjecting them to a life of misery, they tried to make certain that there were neither any resources, nor any hope and strength left in the people of this world for the next Transition. By drowning the descendants of Solomon, they also ensured that there was no one who actually kick started this process of Transition. To cut the long story short, the rulers in our world are trying their best to halt this Wheel of Loops. In fact they want to break this wheel once and for all. They want Aden to stay on top forever, so that they can rule it for eternity. If Transition doesn't happen at the turn of this loop, this wheel will be broken, and those demons will rule Aden forever. And looking at the way they have exploited Elisium in the last six cycles, if they remain in power for the next whole loop they are going to drain this world, not just of all the resources it has, but also of all the hope and happiness. Elisium will truly become Tenebra, the dark world, for eternity and there will be no way back for it. It will remain in the shadows forever."

he felt like which he had never felt before that sentence can be omited also it is extra

Solomon felt the tremendous energy of the tornado coursing through his veins. At that moment he felt something awaken within him. He felt like which he had never felt before. It appeared to him as if a cloud which had clouted his brain had cleared and now he could see everything from a very different perspective. He could think a lot more clearly. All the things which he had heard from Peter now made a lot more sense to him. What seemed to him like some fantasy stories a short while ago now felt like reality. It seemed like his destiny.

soon everyday doesn't sound right change the words

From the stories Andrews had heard from various people, he came to know that after the catastrophic events at the turn of the loop, Elisium had undergone a steady decline. In absence of righteous and just rulers to guide them and take them forward, what was once a flourishing civilization disintegrated into many small fragments. In a politically unstable environment, everyone's only goal was survival. Soon everybody here was just going through the motions, just doing what one should do in order to survive. Eventually the society became stagnant. There was more deterioration than development. Where on one hand, in the last fourteen cycles, under the rule of Solomon kings, Aden had completely transformed into a highly developed society, on the other hand, Elisium was still in the same condition, if not worst, where it was fourteen cycles ago.

The old man, who had saved him from the beating, was present there as well, "I think you must be feeling a little better now," he said in a polite tone, "now my brothers here want to know you where do you come from?"
