“Carl?” I asked as I withheld my orb. “What the hell are you doing here?” walked to him and running my free hand over my face.“Because I came to see them,” he looked over my shoulder.“They meant that much to you, er?” he just nodded as he walked past me to look at the statues of my parents.I know they took him in. And I wasn’t trying to be too hard on my parents. But they allowed him to be locked by the dreadfour all because of the fatal. What value does it have that they risked the life of the only friend and I had?Was that important to them? But they lost it to Revoc. But if it was that important, why didn’t they do anything to get it back from him? Why did they allow Carl to still be locked with the dreadfour?Things just didn’t make sense to me at the moment. That was the reason I needed to be alone at the moment. To wrap my head around what was happening at the moment. I needed what made them do what they did. Because of all the questions that came with whatever they did to k
“I told you guys what you wanted me to do will cost me. Look what you have done to me. I shouldn’t have listened to you guys,” Maria spoke, with tears streaming down her cheeks.Her parents sat opposite her. Listening as she complained to them about what happened at the party.“If you didn’t make me want to sleep with Pit because you wanted his father to work with you, then I would still be with Justine. He was a good-for-nothing son-in-law. But look at what happened here. At least he loved me,” she cried all the more.They just looked at her sadly. If only they didn’t force their daughter to sleep with another man for money, then none of this would have happened. Maria would still be with Justine and she would have been living the life of an even rich woman.But all that was gone now. There was no going back to it.“I’m sorry, my daughter. You know, we were only trying to do what is good for the family. We thought you being with Pit will help us since his father’s company does well,”
“Justine, just wait a bit longer. You need to think about what you are about to do. This might be the thing that kills you. Just let the dreadfour deal with this all. It’s there Fatal after all,” Joseph spoke as me and the dreadfour stood beside the tree. All of us. “And I can’t believe you took him wherever you two went,” he glared at Carl.I just smiled at him. I needed to do this. I know it might be the thing that kills me. I was facing someone that killed my parents. A lot of emotions were involved there. But it might also be the reason I find out about who I truly I’m.To know what my parents kept from me. Because Roland and Carl both said nothing that explained full well what was happening in my life. Why my parents betrayed the dreadfour if they were friends in the first place. Why they allowed carl to be locked. And how Revoc managed to kill them and get the Fatal from them.They just told me that I will find out the rest when the time is right. That I just need to take heart.
I looked at her as she looked down. Avoiding my questions. I mean, what the hell made her think she could follow me here? I was already worried about the dangers in this place. The carnage the place holds was worrying me enough. And just last night I was talking about her with Void, and here she is in the land of foe with me.I tried opening another gateway, but it was for nothing. Nothing worked at the moment. I looked at the dreadfour but they just gestured their hands. signaling they can do nothing about that.“There is only one gateway out of foe. You can’t open your gateway,” Carl spoke, and I saw the terror in Maria’s eyes.Before I could even speak, Joseph began, “we will leave you two alone. You have a lot to talk about. Guys, let’s give them space. We need to find shelter because the sky looks like it will start puling down soon,” he spoke and gestured for them to walk ahead of us. Keeping them from earshot.I just glared at him as he smiled my way. That was why he was smilin
I waited for Carl to yet answer my question about what he meant when he said home. He sounded happy and as he looked at me, his gray eyes glittered with excitement. But he didn’t want to share that with me. He was just smiling.We walked into yet another forest, but this one had green trees. Perfect leaves. Like someone has been maintaining it perfectly. But I still saw the mountains and something about them was just amazing. They reminded me of something that I was yet to comprehend.Then, just as I was about to ask him again, some people came from the trees and blocked us. This just got interested.I hurriedly called to my wizard powers. And they responded with a tingle all over my body. Carl just smiled as he looked at me and then walked forward to them.Looking back, the rest of the team seemed ready for anything. Joseph tapped his werewolf, and the dreadfour did whatever they would do to keep themselves safe. But of course that leaves my wife.“See what I was talking about? You a
I didn’t even know what to say to her claims. On one hand, I would believe her because they sounded believable. And she looked like she was telling the truth. She even cried as we walked, but kept that between us. Everyone seemed to be busy with whatever they were talking about.But again, I couldn’t believe her because she was her. She could lie because I wouldn’t allow her in my heart, she thought the only option for me to allow her in my heart was by lying to why she did what she did. And Joseph was helping her with that.I still haven’t talked to him about what he has just done. Because this was stupid. Allowing her to follow to the land I myself had no idea of was not clever or helping me. He just killed me, actually. Giving me more things to worry about.Then she brought up the thing of her getting married to me even when I was poor. That she didn’t consider my status then, so why would she care about me having money now? And I have to say, this was convincing. I just walked in
I assessed the house Carl had just brought us into. We stood outside as we entered the gate. Looking closely, I realized it looked just like my mansion at home. Except that this one looked old. Like the opposite of my house. Even the walls were broken in some areas. Making me think it has been long ever since someone attended to it.I looked down, and the pavements were still there. But like everything else, they looked dirty, and blood stains I spotted. Looking at the fountain, it was also there. But the one at home has some man standing as water came out on top of his head. This one there was no water, and the man was starting to be covered in grass.The all place was my mansion, just the opposite of it. Was that why Carl called it home? Was this where my parents took him from? Why did it look the opposite of my mansion? And my ancestors built that mansion, did they get inspiration from this house? Which means they have been here. All my family members might have visited the place.
Me, Carl, and Odin sat in one room I had never seen in my mansion. But since this place was the opposite of my mansion, it must also have the same room. I haven’t even had time to explore the house. Ever since I got the house, I have been running up and down. Dealing with work and personal life. Life of a rich person when you have psychopaths that want to kill you is hard.Odin was just playing with his hands. Waiting for me to say why I called him and Carl here. The cat, on the other hand, was just linking his paws.But I’m pretty sure they had an idea why I called them here. Because they know my parents better than I do. Odin was still leaving here. Hence, he met my parents and he might be the person to tell me what happened to me. Why I remembered nothing about the place.Also, the old man sensed us miles away. He knew we were coming. Which only makes me think he might have some answers to my questions. I hope.“Well, can one of you start explaining what the hell is going on here?
