Getting to his room, Lyon couldn’t wait to get back to the comfort of his own home. He had wanted to ask Elen and Kelvin why they left the house but after what had happened, he had an idea.He knew nothing would have gotten them to leave the house if it wasn’t a shadow, but something wouldn’t stop eating him up.He had made sure to put up a veil to keep the house from getting attacked, there were tons of questions that he wanted to ask and shaking the thought out of his head, he decided to have the conversation with them tomorrow.Now is the time to rest from all his car sickness and the loads of alcohol he had taken. His alcohol tolerance had gone way over the top but he knew that he still had to take care of himself.Walking towards the fridge, Lyon pulled out a bottle of water and chugged it all before taking a shower and finally deciding to rest.He knew what was going to happen if he came back and although he had wanted to avoid it, he knew that the organization and the world nee
Everywhere fell silent and by the time Lyon’s eyes fluttered open it was morning already. His head hurt and for a moment he still couldn’t register what had happened in his head.Groaning, Lyon made his way to the bathroom and that was when he realized that his necklace had been switched out.It wasn’t the same amulet that suppressed his powers, it was the exact one he saw his mother put around his neck in the dream.Holding it, Lyon winced at how hot the necklace was and he looked at his palm to see that it had gotten really burnt.He could feel the power of the necklace around his neck and his mother’s words kept ringing in his head. He can’t risk letting anyone see it.‘In shadows deep and unseen light, I call upon the veil of night, wrap this object in a shroud of old. Invisible to all who seek, let it vanish, silent and meek.’Lyon watched as the necklace disappeared and he couldn’t feel its power anymore. He brushed his teeth and got ready to meet Akira.“You’re finally awake!
With his mind set on defeating the enemy his parents had warned him about, Lyon has his eyes on nothing else and made a promise to himself to even work harder.“You’ve changed a lot,” Lyon turned to see Kelvin behind him and he smiled because he could say the same of his best friend too.There was no ounce of fear in Kelvin’s countenance and he had an idea of how hard Kelvin must have worked to get that strong.“I almost couldn’t tell that you’re Lyon,” Kelvin laughed as he stood beside Lyon, “I’m glad I decided to be with you instead because I would have hated myself if I didn’t get to experience all this.” He added.“You know, I don’t like myself for missing all of your training sessions,” Lyon countered as they both walked into the room they had assigned to him.“I wanted to grow strong with you but I’m not going to be selfish by saying I’m jealous you got stronger on your own.” Lyon finished and Kelvin laughed.The room was silent for a while as they both packed a few things since
“I’m beat!” Kelvin growled as he collapsed on the floor while Lyon and Asher laid beside him but Elen, Chelsey and Abraham seemed to be the one still on their feet.Despite the house not being overly dirty, it took over four hours for the entire team to get every nook and cranny of the house that was covered in dust.“Tell me about it,” Lyon felt as though he was on the verge of tears, his back hurt so much and cleaning usually isn’t something that hurts him so much but today was different.“Feels good to clean with a bunch of friends.” Lyon smiled as he closed his eyes. He knew that the reason he felt tired was because he had friends he could imitate.All his life, whenever he cleaned he never did it with anyone and was always lonely but whenever he cleaned with Kelvin, he felt human.His body that had been deprived of all kinds of rest soon starts feeling as though he was pushing himself too much and although it hurts, Lyon loved moments like that.“Good work, everyone!” Elen shoute
“Lunch is ready!” Chelsey’s voice was loud enough to not only get to Lyon’s room but it also got to Asher and Elen.Everyone hurriedly got ready since they were all tired from the day’s job but Lyon and Kelvin weren’t done with their discussion.“Michael and his gang are beasts, I just can’t imagine what they would have done to you if you had shown up without any regard for your own life.”“I only managed to survive because my power has been programmed to activate only if I’m in danger, but you, what would I have done if something had actually happened to you?” Lyon asked and Kelvin’s face fell.“I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself for not being able to save me,” Lyon continued before smiling, “that’s why I’m glad you didn’t do anything.” He finished.“But what if you had no powers?” Kelvin asked and Lyon sighed, he never really thought about that.When he was pushed off the rooftop, he had given up on living and was even ready to get transported to the afterlife.He saw whate
“W— What are you?” He might have been comfortable doing things with and around her but seeing her so suddenly like that was out of the blue and it had shocked him.“I was—" Chelsey was also flustered, too flustered to even complete a coherent sentence.She had walked in because she knocked and he hadn’t answered so she had intended to surprise him.Seeing him going solo like that wasn’t something she was expecting and even though she kept telling herself that she shouldn’t be there, she couldn’t bring herself to leave.She wanted to keep watching, she wanted to witness the moment he came and watching him like that had already caused a puddle between her legs too.“I knocked and—" She swallowed, she was feeling hot from within even though the room was cold.She couldn’t sleep too and she had tried doing what she had walked in on Lyon doing for herself but that didn’t work out well for her so she resorted to coming to surprise Lyon.They were both so shaken that neither of them could sa
Everyone immediately sprung into action, risking their lives and taking it upon themselves to eradicate the monsters.The monsters were nothing like any of them before and despite being a veteran with more experience, Abraham couldn’t hide the fact that he was shaken up.Memories soon started flooding him and a bile formed at the back of his throat as he forcefully pushed it down while everyone kept their eyes on the battle.None of the monsters were giving up and if anything, they seemed to be multiplying, their numbers added up and it didn’t take long for something to flash through Chelsey’s mind.Her heart raced faster than it ever did before, she felt like she was on the brink of death and as the feeling infested deeply into her, her body felt extremely hot.Looking behind her, she saw everyone engaging in more than three monsters all at once, it was an all out battle and fear soon engraved itself in her heart.There’s no way we’ll all survive this. She thought to herself as she l
Something strange coursed through her and she knew that exactly this is the moment she needed to step up. She could also perceive something strange.She looked to see Asher, Abraham, Elen and Kelvin were starting to get tired and even she was beginning to feel worn out too.The fight has been going on for far too long and if it keeps going on then neither of them will be able to get back home because they were using too much of their strength.Lyon had tried a blast that blew away a lot of the monsters but they kept multiplying, “there are things even the strongest can’t do.” She repeated those words to herself.Closing his eyes, Lyon knew he needed to end this as soon as possible. Everyone was beginning to slow down and the sun was scorching but the monsters were getting more powerful. ‘Supreme power, with the power in me, pure and untarnished, I banish every monster in the same perimeter as I am.’ Lyon muttered to himself.Chelsey already knew he was going to tap into his inner s
