It’s been hours since the visit from the messengers of the trinities and Lyon still wouldn’t stop thinking about what to do.“How unlucky can I be?” He muttered to himself as he sank into the couch, it was mid-afternoon already and since he didn’t want to go to the organization yet, he was alone with Abraham.“It’s not your fault,” Abraham responded and it wasn’t until then that Lyon knew he said those words out loud.“You’re not unlucky and instead of thinking of yourself as unlucky, what we should be doing is thinking of a way to avoid all of this.” He added.Lyon nodded in agreement, there was no time for him to wallow in self pity or blame all that’s happening on his luck.What he should be thinking about was a way forward but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop putting blame on himself.“But what if the multiple deaths refers to Chelsey and Kelvin and then you guys?” He asked, his voice heavy with worry.“I won’t be able to forgive myself because all these while all I’v
“Lyon is beating himself so much about this, isn’t there something we can do to help him?” Kelvin asked Abraham.He has been worried about his best friend and almost the same way that Abraham has been worried about Lyon.They knew that he has a huge responsibility on his shoulders but they wanted to let him know that he isn’t alone by helping him out in every way they can.Lyon barely asks them for help and before he’d ask, he must have been sure that he didn't have any other way to tackle the problem.“You don’t have to worry about it, brat, we’re trying to help him too. He’s not alone, don’t worry.” Abraham assured Kelvin.Kelvin sighed, he wanted to be a part of all of this but he knew that the last thing Lyon would want was to involve him with everything.Lyon was always making sure to tell him about how dangerous being the president of a huge organization that almost every bad guys has something against was.Closing his eyes, he wished things would just go back to the way they we
Lyon stared at the drive and he couldn’t believe that he could really get all that Abraham had just said from the drive.“Are you sure?” He asked, lifting his gaze to look at Abraham who still looked shocked and surprised by the fact that Elen could dig something like this up.“Yes!” Abraham said with conviction as he looked from Lyon to Elen, “how did you find this?” He enquired.Elen felt proud of herself even though she didn’t really do it herself, she made sure to ask different questions to know the history.“I actually talked to Akira and he told me that something like this had happened before but that was years ago.” She explained. “But that still doesn’t mean that we’re going to be able to accurately calculate things and get the exact day and time.” Lyon countered.“I thought about it too but there was a sequence and I followed it. You see, these things always happen to the chosen ones and only a few of them are able to beat it.”“It happens every hundred years and I knew it w
Happily, Kelvin was ready to work and be a useful asset to Lyon. He has wanted nothing more than to be involved ever since he got to know about Lyon’s real power.“He seems really eager to help you,” Abraham’s voice jolted Lyon out of his thoughts, “must be nice to know you have someone like that.” He added.Lyon smiled, he was really glad that he had someone like Kelvin and aside from today, Kelvin has been helping him out a lot.“What are we supposed to do now?” Lyon asked with a sigh and Abraham seemed to be quiet for a while.Elen and Kelvin had taken the most work and what’s left was for him to start Lyon’s training and they could do that anytime.“It’s late and I’m sure Elen will show your friend no mercy, all you should do is get a good night's rest because I won’t show you any mercy either.” Abraham responded.Yawning, Lyon had no other choice but to do what Abraham said. His stomach growled and he hadn’t gotten to the kitchen when he met the maid.“I’m really hungry, is there
Abraham was more shocked than Lyon who just got to know about what might be after him.Lyon had never heard about the shadow before and he couldn’t help but wonder about how many things he doesn’t know and still needs to learn.“Shadow?” He enquired with a raised eyebrow and a huge part of him knew that The Shadows are really powerful.The hairs at the nape of his neck curled and not just him but Chelsey and Kelvin could also feel the chills running down their spine.“If the Shadow is what’s after you then we’re all doomed because they won’t spare anybody.” Elen said in fear, her eyes were still wide and her palm was sweaty.There was no way the Shadows would be after them. It’s been years since they’ve heard of or even seen a Shadow’s attack.Abraham was so sure that they'd been exiled until now and although he had doubts, all symptoms and evidence were pointing in the Shadow’s direction.“Lyon, there’s a lot that you don’t know and there’s no perfect time to learn about those things
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,
Lyon’s eyes opened in an entirely different place, it was secluded and white and looked like it was built with snow.Everywhere looked beautiful and for a moment Lyon felt like he had probably died. His amulet glowed really bright but he knew that he wasn’t in a domain.“Where the hell is this place?” He muttered to himself as he walked further to be sure of where he was but nothing was clear to him.“Open.” He tried to control his system but he couldn’t access it. Everything in that place seemed to be out and inaccessible.“Lyon!” A strange yet familiar voice stopped him in his tracks while he was still looking around, “Lyon!” The voice called again.He looked around but there was no one and nothing and it was as though he was the last person in the world. The last person to ever exist.A loud growl sent chills running down his spine, his legs shook and his throat felt dry. It was at this moment that everything started hitting Lyon.His hands were cold and if they got colder, they we
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
