Farewell
Holding the light sphere in her hand and observing it, Selene answered Cale.“This is the essence of Krasin over there that is something akin to his soul. It is everything that he ever was when he was alive, containing the complete information of him as a person, including his memories, knowledge, and skills from the time he was alive. My power allows me to extract all of this after a person dies, allowing me to claim their everything for myself.”“But that’s not all… I can also imbue this essence into any inanimate construct that meets certain requirements, making me use the same powers and abilities they had when they were still alive. If I choose, I can also allow them to regain their sense of self, fully bringing them under my control, thus achieving a kind of resurrection.”Listening to Selene’s explanations on what her powers were capable of, Cale was shocked. The more he heard, the greater his shock became until Cale found himself doubting whether what he was hearing was real o
Wrapping Up 1
In the end, Cale couldn’t bring himself to kill Krasin as he let his arms go limp at his sides, leaving Selene being the one to pick up the slack.With no hesitation whatsoever, Selene grabbed the dagger from Cale’s hands and plunged it directly at the center of Krasin’s chest where his heart was located—although, anatomically speaking, Ceruleans didn’t possess a heart.Squelch!Warm blood spurted out of Krasin onto Selene’s face, staining her cheeks red and giving her a chilling aura that complimented her frosty gaze.Seeing the manner in which Selene ended Krasin’s life as if with practiced ease made Cale feel sick to his stomach. It wasn’t that he couldn’t stand the sight of blood or death, but rather, the indifference that Selene displayed when taking a life was something that Cale wasn’t comfortable with at all, and seemingly noticing Cale’s discomfort, Selene dismissed it simply by saying, “Don’t mind it too much, master. With that—as long as you continue to tread the current pa
Wrapping Up
Ignoring what Jenkins and Fazz said, Cale said to the female guard whose name was Anise,“Take me closer and set me down in front of him.”Complying, Anise carried Cale and set him down until he was kneeling in front of Krasin, not afraid that he would suddenly try to attack him.As Cale knelt before Krasin, as if sensing his presence, Krasin’s gaze shifted a little from staring blankly into space to staring blankly at Cale.“Be careful!”This sudden movement caused Anise and the others to be on alert, with Anise moving closer to protect Cale. But Cale simply shook his head, gesturing for them to calm down before focusing on Krasin once more.Just then, seeing Cale kneeling directly before him, Krasin seemed to regain some recollection of himself, allowing a bit of light to return to those murky eyes, yet the light remained dim, not allowing Krasin to completely regain his senses.Still, the little bit of sense Krasin regained allowed him to hoarsely whisper a few words that Cale had
Freedom At Last
When Selene and the female guard, carrying Cale on her back, finally arrived at Krasin’s office, they met the old man tied up and bound in a corner of the room, his face and body battered, broken, and bruised, and his eyes completely lifeless, like he had lost his soul. He was surrounded by Hobbs, Jenkins, and Fazz, who stood guard over him with a few bruises of their own.Seeing the three of them, Selene asked after walking into the room,“Did you get it?”Jenkins, holding up the dancing figure, flashed it at Selene before answering as he threw it to her.“Yes, we did. Just like you instructed, after the commotion started, we came straight here in search of that thing, but it took a long time to find it. Only when he arrived”—Jenkins said, pointing to Krasin—“did we manage to find it with his help,” he continued.“That’s good,” Selene nodded, grabbing the item and looking it over. In no time, she figured out how the mechanism of the item worked and quickly opened it to reveal the but
Krasin’s Downfall
“Aha, here it is!”It took a while, but after rummaging through the mess Hobbs, Jenkins, and Fazz had made, Krasin finally found what he was looking for. It was an ornate wooden piece carved in the shape of a dancing lady from ashburn elk, a rare tree species known for its fragrant, uplifting scent. It weighed no more than a few grams and was only as heavy as a bar of gold.That’s right, the key to the bomb that was strapped around Cale’s neck was nothing more than a paperweight that Krasin used to decorate his desk. But as far as disguises go, it was incredibly effective. Nobody would think that such an important item would be displayed gregariously for everybody to see.Feeling proud of his genius and with the key in his hand, Krasin’s confidence soared once more, and he suddenly had the urge to vent a little steam. So, turning to the three that were still helplessly sprawled on the floor of his office, Krasin spoke to them.“So, are you ready to speak yet?”Ugh!Hobbs, Fazz, and Je
Krasin’s Last Resort 2
“I will ask one more time… what are the three of you doing here?”After subduing Hobbs, Jenkins, and Fazz, Krasin finally relaxed and asked his previous question one more time. At the same time, he walked into his office and began looking around at the scattered items littered all over the floor.Although Krasin didn’t care what Hobbs and his ilk were searching for in his office, he had to admit that he was still a little bit curious. And since the urgency of the situation had somewhat subsided in Krasin’s mind, he decided to take things easy for now.Unknowingly, Krasin didn’t realize that he had subconsciously let his guard down, treating what was supposed to be an urgent situation like it was nothing serious at all.In a sense, this couldn’t entirely be blamed on Krasin. Most times, people didn’t know how to cope with pressure, and some had different ways of coping—sometimes even having different coping mechanisms depending on the situation. In the end, different people handled pre
