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
It was afternoon already and having nothing else to do after defeating all of the entities, Lyon and the rest made their way back to the house.“Do you still think it’s a good idea to bring the citizens back out?” Elen asked Lyon as they both helped Chelsey out in the kitchen.Basically every one of them was in the kitchen, they all needed to think up their next move, they all needed to be prepared even though they had no idea when the shadows would strike yet.“I don’t know,” Lyon sighed as he focused on the onions he was dicing, his mind conflicted and a part of him felt like he would be making a big mistake if he ever asks for the citizen to come back.Another part of him told him that the Shadows won’t strike again until they can tell that they’re people around, they might want to use the citizens to drive him into a corner.Lyon sighed again, asking the citizens to come back outside would put them in grave danger but asking them to remain in hiding would lessen his chance of ever
“Is it usually this easy to see the trinity?” Asher asked Kelvin in a hushed voice while Lyon and the trinity conversed.“There’s a lot of perks that come with not only being close with a chosen but living with him too.” Kelvin chuckled.To Asher, the trinity is some sort of myth and he had read a lot of books on them for him to know that they rarely showed up.He wondered if they showed up when his father was working with the previous Chosen one and he’d wanted to ask but he didn’t want to pry too much.Asher waited for someone to ask the question but it felt like they all knew the answer and neither of them needed to ask again.“If you’re not going to ask, I’m going to tell you anyway,” Abraham started as if he could read his son’s mind, “the first time I saw the trinity was when they paid Lyon a visit.” He added.“You never saw them before Lyon?” Asher asked and Abraham shook his head negatively, he had always wanted to meet the Trinity too but they only showed up to one out of tho
