Chapter Fifty-Eight:
"Oh. She is-sorry, was-Voyne's secretary.""That explains the energy tagging her." Kane said. "How is she here?""She came looking for us. Said she had something to tell us. She's done with him.""That's quite convenient." Lyann scoffed."I know you don't trust me but I didn't know what I was getting into! I just wanted to switch jobs for a pay raise. If I had known the job was to be a secretary to a homicidal maniac, you think I would have agreed?!" Reneé breathed angrily.Nice. She stood up for herself. Luthen could not help but be impressed."Then why come to us?" Lyann was unfazed. She was a master criminal and had dealt many times with people claiming to switch allegiancs only to be exposed as spies. "How do you know we aren't the same as Voyne -or worse?""I have seen what he has done and I know what he did to me.I found out what he—and she—plan to do. I had to tell someone. And you… you're the only ones left who can stop it. So if there's even a chance that you are even slightl
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Reneé Meets the Gang.
She could barely turn back to see Luthen.When she did, He looked every bit as scary as her imagination. The way the dark forest seemed to bend around him, the blood dripping from his hands, his cold, harsh voice.She tried to control her fear, to still her body. Yet she buckled as Luthen’s voice pierced into her like a blade of ice.“I—I’m not spying,” she stammered finally.She does look okay. Luthen thought."I really hate being watched. But I'll excuse you this once because I know you are no threat. If you want to stay in the camp, follow me." He turned and went into the camp.In her eyes, he went from being the fierce demon in her imagination to just another young man looking burdened.Well, he was carrying something so he was technically burdened. Traps in one hand and some dead small animals in the other, their blood staining his hands. The dripping blood did not help her impression of him.She swore she could almost see horns growing from his head."What is your name?
Chapter Fifty-Six: Refinement, Teaching & Guidance.
"Exactly dear. That is what I am saying. They are our cards against the Shards. They just need a little....refinement."Refinement. Teaching. Guidance."Remember, son. Our plan isn't to beat the Shards. You don't offer a calf to a deity. You grow it instead to an adult and then make a more pleasing offering. The seedlings are to be nutured to befitting sacrifices.""I trust you know what to do." She finished.The fireplace crackled on.*******"It's disturbing really. That the three of you would know our enemies so personally." Kane said."If it weren't for the level of trust I have, I would consider you all as foes." He continued."Why is he targeting people from our past? Is he messing with us? What does he know? Is there come clue -" "How do you know - what's her name? -Ari?" Luthen cut in "You know I consider it rude to be cut in the middle of my speech." Lyann said."Just answer the question.". He retorted.There was a heavy sigh from the lady."Ari - no rather- Arianne is....
Chapter Fifty-Five: Cowardly Escape
"Ari, run" The words continued resonating in Ari's head even after Lyann fell to the floor. She was pinned to a spot by the fear of the figure coming towards her.However, she could not help but feel touched by the sacrifice Lyann had carried out.She still cares for me? After all this time? After leaving me?On the other hand, Maron just stood there, frozen except for his rapidly moving pupils. Something was swirling in his brain. Why did the guy that looked most familiar to him attack them? Who was he*******"Johann, Get ready to leave." Juren said."Seems you are taking us for a joke then." Kane's voice was chilling."Have you thought of my proposal yet?" The tease in Somen's voice was more than obvious. "After all you've beaten me once before haven't you?""Sorry to disappoint but our fight won't be for a while, Somen." A wild smile appeared on his face.His gaze became sharper."Slime Technique: Obscuring Mist."In an explosion, liquid turned to mist spread into the environment
Chapter Fifty-Four: Sacrifice.
Maron jumped in front of her right in time with a blue cube construct to protect both himself and Ari. The cube shattered from the impact with Luthen’s hand pushing both him and her away.“Luthen!” Lyann shouted and tried to stop him.“Stay the f*ck where you are and don’t f*cking interfere. F*king get out of my way, Maron!!” He cursed in a loud voice. This was a side of Luthen none of them had seen before, except one person. Something flickered across Maron’s face. Was it familiarity?Juren and Johann both tried to get to Ari’s side but got blocked by Somen and Kane respectively.“Why don’t we catch up on old times? My scar still stings where you hurt me.” Somen taunted Juren.“We’ll leave the former friends to catch up. You are my opponent now.” Kane said to Johann.Ari stood up finally with some pain and bleeding. She turned to Juren and gave him a s
Chapter Fifty-Three: Unfriendly Reunion.
Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder while motioning him to remain quiet.“We are being watched.” Lyann whispered to him.“I know.” He whispered back.Noiselessly, both Kane and Somen had awoken from their tents also. They also confirmed the feeling of being watched.Suddenly, the intent began to provoke and challenge them, as if it was asking for a fight.“Could it be Sophie?” Kane whispered to Luthen.Luthen could tell that the person behind this had the Soul Aspect, just like Sophie. However, the soul energy of the person was chaotic. It even couldn’t be the Mother lady.“I don’t know.” He said initially. “I don’t think so.” He added.A red cloak stepped from the bushes. “Rejoice!” It said. “It is the day of your death.”Lyann stared. Are these the Apostates? Could they be telling the truth?Luthen laughed. “It’s been quite a while. I was wondering when you would come around.” he said talking to the cloak. He had long expected the Apostates to make their move. Honestly, it surprised
