The trinities left but Lyon still had absolutely no idea what to do. The house was still shaken and none of the maids would step out of their rooms.“I can’t have more people involved in all of this,” Lyon’s voice put a halt to the silence as everyone present turned to face him.“We’re firing all the maids that work directly in the house and then we can think of what to do next.” He sighed as he yawned.“I have to prevent what happened tonight from happening again and while these Shadows can possess the men, I know that some of the guards have strong willpower so they should be able to fight against its attack.” He finished.Not saying anything else, Lyon made his way to his bedroom with his mind all over the place.He needed to be alone, he needed to think about what to do and from the information his system had provided for him, defeating a shadow is next to impossible.“I’ll worry about it tomorrow, I need to rest.” Lyon sighed as he laid on the bed but no matter how hard he tried,

The scars cut so deep that Kelvin was shaking and the mark wasn’t even on his body, his hand trembled and he still couldn’t believe what he was seeing.“W— what did you see there?” Lyon asked, he had no idea why but he was freaking out a great deal and he knew that whatever was on his neck had a hand in that.“I don’t know what it is,” Kelvin responded, still in awe, “but it’s scary and it makes me want to puke, I have never seen anything like it before.”He finished and gagged as he walked away from Lyon. Elen looked at Kelvin and something about his reaction wasn’t right.They knew Kelvin didn’t like blood and he went pale at the sight of one but this was different, he looked petrified.“Whatever it is, I’m sure it can be— JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!” Elen exclaimed when she saw his neck.Her stomach tightened and something about the wound wasn’t natural but Lyon was still in the dark.He doesn’t know what was getting them so scared but his heart raced and he knew that even that wasn’t na

“These attacks are getting a little too intense, what do we do?” Lyon asked Abraham breathlessly.It’s been days since they all chose to work together and he knew that he had gotten more and more stronger but he still hadn’t eradicated the Shadows.“We’ll do something about it when you’re strong enough to fight them.” Abraham responded, handing Lyon a water bottle.So as not to get too distracted, he had suggested that they use another of the estates Lyon had for practice.Practicing in the same house Kelvin and Chelsey was could serve as a huge distraction for him and that was something they couldn’t afford.To reduce the level of attacks, Abraham had made sure to do as Lyon had suggested and he had sacked all the maids.Leaving the guards back at home with the girls and Kelvin. Lyon had thought that would at least put the attacks on hold but it didn’t.“I’m exhausted.” He confessed as he drank from the bottle Abraham had given to him. There was another thing Abraham didn’t tell him.

Lyon smiled, he was also glad that he came especially since he didn’t almost find out that Chelsey was hurt.All those days while he’s been training, all he had on his mind was her but he didn’t want to mention it.When Elen had called about the Shadow’s attack, the first person he was worried about was Chelsey but again he didn’t want to talk about it because he didn’t want them to misunderstand.Hell, he had feelings for her but wasn't ready to admit it but after what had just happened, the last thing Lyon wanted was to care about what anyone thinks.“I’m glad I’m here too.” He responded after a while of silence and she snuggled more into him. He had tried to avoid her but like a moth to a flame, they kept getting drawn to each other.“How are you?” Chelsey asked in a low tone, her voice was hoarse and she was still recovering from the attack that had almost taken her vocal cords too.“I’m fine,” Lyon responded, “I haven’t gotten as strong as I want to be so for now I have to keep t

“Easy for you to say,” Lyon sighed and at the same time, he yawned. He knew he needed to rest but after figuring out a way to deal with this lethal shadow, he would go back to training.“No one is looking to kill you because you tipped the balance of the world.” He finished as he slouched on the chair.“How long until you transfer all the files?” He asked, directing the question to Elen who only shrugged because she doesn’t really like talking when working.Lyon’s mind is occupied with a lot of things. He had no idea how long he would be in the estate for training his body and mind to get stronger.And although this place isn’t that far from the estate, Abraham wouldn’t let him have any visitors or permit him to see anyone.He sighed again, he hadn’t really been sleeping and now all of these things happening was going to get him more worked up than usual.He needed to make the most of his visit. He needs to make sure that he doesn't regret anything while he is away training.“Abraham?
