“I can’t believe we’ll be out of here soon,” Chelsey sighed as she sat on the edge of the bed while Lyon got ready to take a shower.It had been three days since Akira called and since then he had intensified his training because he knew that an emergency call could come in.Akira had told him not to rush the decision but at the same time he should be prepared and always alert because he could be needed as soon as possible.Left to Lyon, he really would’ve gone back to the country the moment he got the call from Akira but he had tried to understand when Akira told him to stay back for now.Each division of the organization has been trying to evacuate as many citizens as possible because it’s glaring that the moment Lyon steps in, he’s going to attract many more powerful Shadows and unidentified entities.“I know.” Lyon groaned as he stretched but he winced again, he had wandered even deeper into the woods in search of more powerful monsters to fight and he was glad he did.He’d met th
Lyon was exhausted, he could feel himself falling asleep because of how much he had overexerted himself but at the same time, he felt strengthened from within.It was still strange even though he knew that having sex with Chelsey always energized him. He stared at her with a weak smile and was about to tell her he was exhausted but he didn’t need to.“You don’t have to do anything,” Chelsey said, her chest hedging and her heart racing with excitement.She had tried to no avail for days to keep her raging hormones to herself but now, now that she had actually gotten a taste of what she’s been trying so hard to remain disciplined for, she couldn’t possibly stop.“Then what are—" Lyon was about to ask when she leaned in to kiss him, causing him to swallow everything he wanted to say.His heart had picked up again and was thrumming so hard against his chest, Chelsey guided his hand to her boobs and left it there.Knowing that he doesn’t need to do much, Lyon squeezed it hard but gentle. H
Exhausted, they laid beside each other and soon Lyon couldn’t stop feeling the incessant ache in his head.The loud ringing in his ears was also enough to cause him to wince in pain. The pain rippled through his entire being, causing him to writhe on the bed.It wasn’t the first time something like this was happening to him but it was the first time Chelsey was experiencing it.She was about to get dressed and call for help when she realized just how tightly Lyon was holding her, he trailed a line with his finger at the back of her hand and when she felt it, Chelsey couldn’t help but gasp.She couldn’t believe that he was asking her to stay out of it, asking her to leave his room and not come back inside until he came outside.Watching him, she felt as though he was in pain because she could see how he moved but she respected his wishes.Lyon made sure to delay the meeting until he was sure he could no longer feel Chelsey’s presence in the room with him anymore, he finally gave in.Hi
It was morning already and Chelsey hadn’t had a night sleep, she couldn’t believe she had a conversation like that.What she’d heard from the talking eagle sent cold chills running down her spine and for the first few hours of the morning, she could barely get in her headspace.She was shaken, terrified and wouldn’t stop wondering what she could do, how she could possibly help because right now, when the time comes, she would have to be the one to step up.“Are you okay?” She was stirring the soup when Lyon’s voice terrified the hell out of her, causing her to jump up in fear as she looked behind her to see a worried Lyon.“I— I’m— fine— I’m fine.” She stuttered, knowing she doesn’t sound too convincing and Lyon could probably hear her heart racing.“You don’t look okay,” Lyon said as he leaned into her, he placed his palm on her forehead to feel her temperature but she seemed fine.He was worried, his mind wandered to the night before and he could feel his chest tighten at the possib
Lyon’s breathing paced, his heart was racing and he didn’t want to admit but this Shadow was stronger than the one he’d fought back at home.‘Thank goodness I didn’t involve Abraham and the rest.’ Lyon thought to himself, they’d already taken the fight to the depth of the woods.Abraham, Asher and Chelsey were still fighting against the minions and that only indicated that Lyon hadn’t defeated the monster yet.They couldn’t see him and so they wouldn’t stop worrying. Just when they’d thought they were done fighting, just when they were going to give Lyon a hand, the minions did not only increase in numbers but in size too.“Do you think Lyon is fine?!” Chelsey couldn’t stop herself from asking, fighting here without Lyon isn’t what she wanted.She was itching to get it over with so she could go help him but she soon realized that the more they were fighting the minions, she wouldn’t have a chance to leave.Maybe the shadow isn’t even the main enemy, maybe the shadow is just a decoy to
Lyon could feel the tingling sensation going through his body. Not only was he being fired up by the adrenaline that was coursing through him.His anger was like a raging fire as his body flared and his wounds healed despite the iron surrounding them.His heart raced and the words of the Sovereign king wouldn’t stop ringing in his head as he laughed maniacally. He felt like a monster.The Shadow was taken aback, it couldn’t believe his eyes, Lyon was emitting a totally different aura right now, an aura that made it visible that the heavens were with him.The ground shook and the birds flew as Lyon opened his burning red eyes to look at the Shadow, he could still feel the restrictions from the iron but it was different from when he had first gotten trapped.“What is going on?” The Shadow asked itself as it tried to take a step back but was unable to because of how immobile Lyon’s power had held him.“Why can’t I move?” The question was ringing as fear coursed through his body, making h
The entire meeting room was silent, they all knew about the chosen but only a few of them had gotten to actually meet him and those few are the people in the special grade.They were other people that got little access to him but not really the officers right now. A lot of them were more than excited to finally meet him.“What do you think he’s like?” One of them asked his colleague and Kelvin after seeing the curiosity in all of their eyes couldn’t believe that he was one of the few that knew Lyon.That feeling alone was enough to make him feel special as he stared right ahead, looking at Akira and listening to him give his speech.“He and one of our most respected officers will be here with another strong officer of ours and I know you’re not kids but it’s all I can do not to tell you to get your act together.”“For most of you all right here, it’s the first time you’ll be meeting him and the first time he’ll be meeting you too, I want each and every one of you to give him a good fi
“Special assignment?” Elen asked as she turned to face Akira who only nodded before walking towards his office.Elen knew not to say anything else but to follow closely behind him, it’s been a while since she had the chance to be with Kelvin and she’d desperately hoped to be with him today.Since they’ve both been busy trying to evacuate citizens and make the entire place empty in case a more powerful Shadow comes, neither of them got the choice to speak to the other.“Felix too?” She asked when they got to Akira’s office and Felix was already waiting by the door for her and Akira.“Yes, there’s nobody better suited for the job than the both of you as usual since you’re the strongest in the first division.” Akira responded.They all walked into his office as he went to take his seat, Felix and Elen couldn’t help but wonder what the special assignment could be.They’ve not gotten a signal of a new entity or not just them but the entire division would have known and that aside, Akira di
