Tiny watched as he hurriedly left with the maid. In truth, she was very curious as to what was happening, but she was forbidden from ever leaving her quarters.She sighed as she sank into the couch. Lifting her hand to the ceiling, she observed the multi colored lines that had now formed on her body because of absorbing too much Anima. "Tomorrow, right? It will all be over by tomorrow." She folded her legs to her chest and began sobbing.Meanwhile, Ramond had rushed to where the said incident had happen. In front of him, were two soldiers. The first one was a really tall male with dreadlocked hair and the other was a very pretty young girl. If he was to guess, he would say that the male was maybe around seventeen of age and the young girl somewhere in her twenties.Unknowing to him, these two were Derek and Lydia, and in front of them was the the half alive soldier with his chest bare and and a message written in his own blood that read: We are coming for the Rainbow Anima. The Ebora
Lydia laid by the side, her breathing obviously heavy. She kept on coughing out blood. While Hayaa constantly reminded Derek of how much time was left for Lydia."I can guess what you are wondering," Ramond spoke to them. "How did I know you two where here. You see that is quite simple." He raised his hand to them. On his wrist was a device that had close resemblance to a wrist watch."Oh! You two nearly fooled me by that trick you both pulled. But I am in charge of the security of the royal family. So imagine my surprise when I find that according to the scanners, I was heading towards the palace in two persons, while I was clearly at the Atlas district. I can see that the Ebora have become so brave that you do not even put us the sons and daughters of Atlas in your eyes anymore."As he talked he was physically getting angrier by the moment, "You even dare have plans on the Rainbow Anima stone. I'll make sure to cut you up into tiny bits."As he talked, Derek felt as if something was
*cough* Lydia coughed intentionally, ruining the moment. It suddenly became awkward and Derek was at a loss for what to do. He wanted to explain to Tiny but also to lydia but then... *Shush* Tiny placed a finger on his lips. "You can put me down now Derek" Lydia asked and Derek released his Rune chain holding her in place. "Thank you!" Derek was at this moment caught between a rock and a hard place. Lydia saw the look on his face and could not help but laugh. Tiny looked at Derek and also joined her. Now, Derek was even more confused on what was happening or what to do. "Don't worry Derek, Tiny knows. In fact, she has known for a long time now." Lydia explained. Derek could not help but scratch his head in confusion. "Also," Lydia looked at Tiny and she nodded to her. Lydia also nodded back to her, "we have come to an agreement." Lydia stood up and walked to Tiny taking her hand in hers, "we are going to share you!" Those words went off like a bomb inside Derek's head. "What
There was already a guard waiting for them at the hub. Hammer entered, resuming his former Thuggish swag and demeanor. He greeted the guard while Aesir and Gina just bowed slightly. They had their faces covered with a black bandana. Revealing only their eyes. The guard looked at both of them strangely but Hammer tapped his shoulder. "Hey! They are with me." The guarded nodded in understanding. "Also help us tell boss Woody. We here with his package." Hammer lifted the bag he was holding and shakes it so that the pearls in it made jiggling sounds.The guard nodded and led the way. Hammer, Aesir and Gina followed.The inside was truly has beautiful as they thought. Or maybe far more. The corridor was wide enough for five people to walk shoulder to shoulder. The walls were decorated so perfectly with pictures of Coral reefs and artistic drawings of ocean creatures and Mamiwata men, Women and even Sirens.At nearly every twelve steps, was a chandelier that was made entirely out of pearls
Mr Woody took a long hard look at the two. He signalled for them to advance towards him. Which they did. "Your masks! Drop them!" Mr Woody ordered. Aesir and Gina looked at one another and nodded. Turning back to Mr Woody, they both replied together, "NO!""Hmm?!" Mr Woody looked at them, is smile changing into a frown. "I am going to take it that I was not clear earlier on. So let's try it again. Drop them!"As he said this, the guards around had their eyes on the pair. Some already even taking Several steps to surround them.Hammer on the other hand had started to become nervous and even though the environment was cool, he had started to visible sweat on his forehead.Aesir immediately bowed to Mr Woody. "I appologise sir, but the thing is that, I and my sister have a blood oath tied to the grave of our mother. We have sworn never to reveal our faces to the outside world unless we destroy the murderers of the Grootslang cult that took her life.Immediately, those words stroke a cord
The thirty prisoners advanced steadily with weapons in hand. Some had swords, knives, spears, and surprisingly,there was even a chain saw in the mix.Mr Woody watched them as his smile became wider. This so called test for promotion was strictly because of his face. He had to save his face while still upholding his ideals as one with respect for his parents. If not, he wouldn't have cared about new recruits that his underlying, sabertooth had brought in. Also, he could feel a kind of strong determination to push forward coming from Aesir and Gina. As his expectations build for the fight, his long, thin, snake-like tongue could not help but lick his lips.Meanwhile, Hammer on the other hand, entered a state of pure panic. But that did not mean he was weak, he was just too nervous to think or fight.Aesir had heard Mr Woody when he addressed the prisoners. He knew theses were members of the Grootslang cult. From what he could see, this cult also had a hold in Atlantis, but the dominant
Ramond stormed into the training Arena kicking the doors as he entered with his brows arched and lips pouted. It was clear he was obviously angry about something. His entrance stopped the congratulating applause of the audience and Mr Woody turned sharply to the sound of the doors opening with a bang. Ramond walked up to Mr Woody, "We had a deal, or have you forgotten?" Ramond questioned Mr Woody to his face. "What is the meaning of that stunt you pulled today? Have you and the Ebora decieded to sabotage our agreement?" he kept on blasting Mr Woody with questions. Aesir did not understand what was going on, but he could clearly see that who so ever this man that had just walked into the room was, he was powerful enough to talk to Mr Woody as equals. No! that was not right, from his intonation, it nearly looked like the man was either superior or in the least a partner of significant importance. And this was futher proven by how Mr Woody treated him. "Ramond, my good friend, why don
Mr Woody had given specific instructions about his new guards before he left. Their ruthlessness had truly impressed him and could vividly see that thirty was still too small a number at a time for these two. He could never had imagined that someone like Sabertooth could have found such gems. Even as he left with Ramond out of the room, he could already imagine the many incredible things he could do with the two of them. One look and he could even tell that his own personal guards would not fare well against the two.And so regardless of the way Ramond had stormed inside, he really did not think too much about. After all, he had just found two future guards, he was in a good mood.Aesir and Gina were naturally assigned immediately to his personal guards. Also, he scheduled a little demonstration he wanted them to perform at the party he was organizing for is guest at night.Taking a subordinate of his subordinate was perfectly normal. Besides, sabertooth even though he was known to be
