They all got inside and Akira was already there, waiting for them to come in with a smile plastered on his face.He was like a father finally getting to welcome his son back home and seeing Lyon hale and hearty warmed his soul.“Welcome back, Chosen.” He greeted with a smile and even Lyon just couldn’t believe how long it had been since he last physically saw Akira.Relief washed over him because the man looked so fragile and Lyon couldn’t help but worry even though he knew that he shouldn’t.Akira still reeked of strength for an old man and Lyon was more than happy to see that he was doing fine.“I hope your training wasn’t too—" Akira didn’t get to finish what he was saying because Lyon threw himself at the old man, eliciting a laugh out of him.“I might appear strong but don’t you forget I’m an old man and my better days are behind me already.” Akira laughed and Lyon joined in.There’s no better joy than knowing that everyone is just as fine as he’d left them. There were nights he
“The party seems nice,” Chelsey smiled and Elen nodded as they both looked around. It was a very lovely party and even Lyon seemed to be having a lot of fun.“So, you and Kelvin.” Chelsey finally dropped the bomb she’s been meaning to and Elen almost choked on the wine she was drinking.Her eyes widened, she hadn’t told anybody and she also wasn’t expecting anyone to know especially people that only just arrived.Her face turned red and she was soon feeling the heat from within her, she had no idea what to say without making it seem like she was hiding her relationship.She likes Kelvin so much but at the same time she doesn’t know if he was ready to let people in on their relationship yet.Waves and waves of emotions coursed through her as her grip tightened on the glass and was holding while she was also trying her hardest not to lose composure.Elen knew just how smart Chelsey is, she might be younger but Chelsey has always been able to use her brain in situations she both should a
Everywhere trembled and even buildings threatened to give in to Lyon’s power. The ball of light that was in front of him trembled.“I will never understand you people that come after me and my friends when just Chelsey will be enough to wipe you out,” he laughed.“You’re too weak to go against me,” Lyon continued as he got towards the ball of light and the curiosity in it could feel the power.“Send your strongest entities and then I’ll see if I can change my evaluation.” He finished when he got to the ball and held it in his hand.The ball felt hot and the curiosity it belonged to knew that it was going to die, it could feel the cold embrace of death and could also see it with its own eyes.When he asked for an opportunity to fight Lyon Armstrong, everyone in the verse had asked him not to think about it but he was careless.He was the most excited when they picked up the powerful signal from Lyon and he’d thought that it would easily be wiped out like the other Chosens but Lyon was
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
