A figure stood on the deck, resting on the edge of the ferry, watching the ocean toss its waves.
“There you are.” Another figure said as it suddenly appeared by the first figure’s side and rested its back on the edge, folding its arms. ”Your cabin is too cramped?”
“I need to think. Jonelle.” The first figure said.
“I am assuming you have a plan and reason for dragging us both unto this ship, Reese?”
“The Grand Abott was not aware of the tunnels underneath the temple. I asked him personally.” Reese said.
“Ho! How did Voyne know of it then?”
“I don’t know. I intend to find out.”
“You let Luthen into your head. Are you okay about that?”
“I didn’t let him. The fool barged in, like I did his. But it’s fine.”
“I know I have asked you this before, but why? Why pro

"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....

"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

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

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?L

“Reese surrendered himself to her.” Somen said, munching on some rabbits that had been prepared before Luthen came in.Lyann was speechless.“Why would he do that?” She asked.“To buy us time.”“You should have just killed everyone and left.”“That’s the easy way out.” Kane said, speaking for the first time.She looked at him and twisted her mouth. That statement seemed to trigger something in her. The moon shone brightly in the sky and the critter of the forest was audible.“Look, I know you’re reluctant to come with us-” Luthen started“You make it sound like I don’t have a choice.” She cut in.Kane chuckled in scorn, then winced from the pain.“Don’t mind him. How about this? You help us rescue them and it’s quits.”“You leave me and my crew alone? No city authorities involved?”“None.” Luthen promised. “Fine. We’ll go in the morning. My men will stay here.”Luthen heaved a sigh of relief.*******“Ahaa…” Ari wailed. “Why do we have to complete a mission at this time of the night?
Chapter Fifty-One: Speechless.
Meanwhile, in Jonelle and Reese’s barely hospitable ‘room’.Reese twitched. Jonelle squeezed her mouth and looked into his seagreen eyes. He tried to offer an apologetic smile.She really knew it would come to this. The boys and Lyann would be at each other’s throats before they could ask for help.“I did tell you this sort of thing could happen.” She said.“I did know Lyann could be this stubborn. I din’t expect Kane to be just as stubborn and both of them even used Supreme Techniques!”“Well, it’s your fault. If you’ve listened to me earlier, we would never have gone to prison.”“I thought it was a physical prison. No, they couldn’t leave things on easy mode. We just had to be trapped in a Spatial Maze. I didn’t expect this.” Reese said, rubbing his chin. “I really underestimated them. They really do have some info on us.”
