No one seemed to know what to make of this new development. Anthony had stopped in his tracks as he looked between the two of them. Luke was still on the ground, waiting for Grace's answer. The way Luke was acting made it seem like the two knew each other, sparking debate about whether they were family or a couple. Grace was frantically looking for a way to handle the situation.
When she approached the boy, she never thought things would spiral out of control like this. How did he even know her name? The whole situation was creeping her out, and she wanted to run away, but something was stopping her. It felt as if she would regret it if she bolted. Considering how he had been acting, he probably wouldn't take it well.
"What do you need my help for?" she asked, managing to avoid stuttering.
His confused and lost expression was giving everyone mixed signa
Her answer only seemed to frustrate Luke, who growled, making her take several steps back and Anthony ask, "Are you okay?""I'm good," she said as she glanced in Anthony's direction before looking back at Luke.Their moment was interrupted by the angel, who seemingly didn't notice anything amiss. "Heroes, I hope all of you have had time to think about my words, for the time has come to send you on your journey.""Wait!" they cried, but the angel ignored them.Several people were shouting or demanding answers from the angel when magic circles formed beneath everyone. "I pray for your victory, young heroes."Suddenly, everything froze and took on a monochrome color. Luke tensed at the sudden change and was instantly on guard. However, nothing happened. In fact, the only person who could
"Do you really not remember anything?" Grace asked as the two sat on the ground and grew teary eyed when he shook his head. "This is horrible. What happened?"[Unfortunately, I don't have the right permissions to access that information.]Seeing the scowl on Luke's face, Grace asked, "Did the demon king say something?"His response was to shrug, causing her shoulders to drop. So far, nothing the demon king had said had helped in the slightest. Of course, Luke had ignored a lot of what he said, but from what he saw, it did nothing to solve his memory problems or help them escape their current predicament. The rest of their party was missing too, which irritated him. Who was in his party again?"Is this because of the angels? Are they trying to get rid of us?" Grace asked.[No
The new Grace turned to him as she asked, "Are you okay, Luke?"After dealing with two Graces, Luke was admittedly reluctant to let her come near him. What if she decided to break his neck with her staff as soon as she got close enough? No, he wasn't going to let her get close until he was absolutely certain this was actually Grace. She looked at him with hurt eyes as he backed away from her. However, she was soon distracted by the other Grace, who swung her staff at her.She was able to block the swing with her staff, but she was sent stumbling from the force. As soon as the new Grace recovered, she held her staff in front of her as they stared each other down. Luke took the opportunity to slowly back away, even as his head throbbed painfully. He needed to get as much distance between them as possible while they were distracted.Making sure not to show
Once his nose stopped bleeding, Luke pulled the napkin away from his nose and said, "What happened? How did you get here?""Honestly, I have no clue. When that weird static happened, I thought it was all over. Then suddenly I found myself here and saw you needed help," Grace said."Are you sure you can't remember anything?" Luke asked as he watched her warily out of the corner of his eye.Her answer didn't reassure him in the slightest. Even though he believed the Grace in front of him was the real one after everything that happened, he was beginning to doubt again. How did she get here, wherever here was? In fact, what in the world was happening, and why was it happening? He really needed those answers several minutes ago, and the demon king was no help.Grace frowned as she crossed her arms to think about it before s
Instead of a red line, it came out black. While they were confused by the color, they ignored it as Luke drew a door in the floor. If there wasn't a keyhole for them to use the key on, then he would make one himself. If this didn't work, then he would simply draw something else until he finally drew something that would get them out of there.Once his crude picture was finished, the lines glowed, and a real door formed on the floor right in front of their eyes. They stared in awe at the miracle in front of them. Luke then studied the pen in his hands as he truly wondered where this miraculous item had come from. It might possibly belong to the god of this world if he dared say so, but he quickly remembered what the demon king had said about it.Shaking his head from those thoughts, he said, "Now let's try to unlock."Using the key they had in their poss
"What?" Luke said as he stared blankly at 'Kayla'."Don't act innocent. How did you get your hands on that item?" 'Kayla' demanded.Luke and Grace shared a look before he said, "Hold on. I think we're not on the same page. What do you mean by creator, and what does this pen have anything to do with it?"'Kayla' frowned. "Do you really not know?""I wouldn't be asking you to explain if we already knew," he said dryly.She scanned their surroundings before saying, "You obviously know about the systems and how the angels and demons have been fighting each other since the very beginning. Well, the creator is the one who created this world along with the angels and the system."He obviously knew about the first part, but he never expected the second part.
The demon king was right that it couldn't be a coincidence that he had it, but there was no point in trying to figure out the reason why the creator gave him such an item. He had no one he could talk to about the creator to get a better idea of their character. Also, it wouldn't change the fact that he now wielded the most powerful item in the world.Luke asked, "Then is it possible to create anything I want with it?"[I can't say. It's only a fragment, so there should be limitations.]As his face took on a thoughtful look, 'Kayla' said, "We can't stay here. Others will pass by and spot you.""Where can we go?" Grace asked as she scanned the area. "We don't know the place.""Unfortunately, I still have to obey this guy and ensure you're safe," 'Kayla' said as she jabbed a thumb in Luk
The duo didn't hesitate to drop what they were doing and run to a shelf, scurring behind it. They had ducked behind it just in time as an angel entered the library. At leas they assumed it was on angel. Since they were hiding behind the bookshelf, they couldn't see how many there were or what they looked like and could only listen as 'Kayla' went to confront them."Castiel, what are you doing here?" she asked."I should be asking you that. You suddenly disappeared off somewhere," Castiel said. "Why are you wasting time here instead of doing your job?""My work isn't time sensitive so figured I wanted a place to relax. Since no one ever comes into the library, I thought it would be the perfect place, but I guess I was mistaken if you're here," 'Kayla' said dryly.Luke and Grace really wanted to see the face of the angel
