Once again, Sora, Z and Arden crouched on the roof of the building opposite the Founder’s House, it was still minutes to midnight and they watched patiently for any sign of suspicious activities in the building but since they had been there, everything happening seemed ordinary.
From where they watched, they could see the lights from the building on full display, illuminating the entire area and people trooping into the museum in pairs and some alone, and it looked like a show was going on.
Z had an obvious frown on her face. “They can’t really be doing this so openly, can they?”
“It looks like a show is going on.” Arden noted.
“This has got to be a joke. D
“There’s no need to hide anymore. I told you your blood smelled dirty…I smelled it from the second you walked in here.”Knowing that there was no way to prevent the worst, Sora got to his feet revealing his position. At the same time, Z and Arden got up beside himZ.Murmurs filled the hall with people pointing fingers at the Hunters.“It’s a pleasure to have you with us again.” Zavok smiled ““I can’t say the feeling is mutual.” Sora shot back.Zavok smirked as he looked past Sora to the side at Z and Arden. “The bastard and the broken one. Welcome.”
Sora could feel the softness of the frame beneath as his consciousness crawled back to him. His eyelids felt heavy but he struggled to open them and although his vision was blurry at first, they became clear after blinking repeatedly .His entire body felt heavy as though a building collapsed on him and the dryness in his throat made him scan the area for any liquid to help.His eyes landed on the drawer by the left side of the bed which had a glass filled halfway with water but when he stretched his hand out to reach it, his limbs failed to follow his sense of direction.Sora became desperate and thus the struggle begun. Little by little he moved his body more to the left to reduce the space between himself and the drawer till he was finally able to reach the top of the drawer comfortably
Sora took in his surrounding as he walked back to his quarters. Raskinth had an air of seriousness to it, everyone seemed to be unapproachable unlike the Academy and the only place he had seen people loosen up here was in the dining hall when they drank. He walked past the training area and got stared at again by the Hunters he saw but he wasn’t bothered by them.As a matter of fact, he felt a certain thrill from leaving them in the dark and just having them assume things. Being the center of attraction in this manner still felt foreign to him. From being the topic of gossip for being powerless to being the center of gossip for being very strong, Sora felt pride? He wasn’t sure what the feeling was but it felt good.On his way bac
Sora walked out to find Z waiting at the first turn out of the office area. “What did he want?”“My autograph.”“Did you give him?”Sora snickered, “You know I did.”“My boy!”Sora burst out laughing and Z joined in.Z took a deep breath and calmed down. “I’m proud of you Sora.”Sora was grateful for her compliment and smiled but he brushed it off “Yeah yeah, thanks.” Finishing with a smile. “Zavok is dead.”The messenger knelt with his head bowed as he relayed the news to the children of the master.Four’s eyes went wide in shock. “That’s impossible. No mage can kill us, we were created by the master and no one can kill us.”“You have confirmed this?” Three child asked“Yes. I have” the messenger replied, “I saw it with my own eyes.”“How did he die?”“He was killed by a mage”“A mage? That’s impossible&rdquRise of the Strongest Soul Mage Zavok is dead
They walked back quietly to the Hunters’ area with Sora taking the lead. Z watched from behind as he dragged his feet all the way, it was obvious something was bothering him and he only took out his frustration on Konan…but what was it?Hatred? Z knew what she saw had not been born out of hatred. Sora had been fine when they went to the infirmary that morning but completely differently when they met up after.Z was mostly worried about the side of him she had seen and how it made her question him, something had to be the root cause and she wanted to reach out but she didn’t know how to.She waited a few seconds before finally deciding to speak up.&ldq
Kain’s fork fell from his hand as he got out of his chair and everyone else got up immediately.“That can’t be possible. The Ivy is the most secure place I know.”“I don’t know the details. Your mother sent someone to bring the news.”“She could have come herself!” Kain yelled angrily.“You know your mother. She would never run from battle.”“Where’s the messenger?” Kain asked as he approached Elias“At the door.”Kain moved quickly past his fat
Sora shut Z’s voice out of his head and ran till he reached the Ivy Hall. He sighted several soul eaters by the entrance but he knew they wouldn’t be an issue for him. As expected, they came for him and he was ready, completely filled with rage, Sora shot raw energy from his hands targeted at them and he watched as they burst into flames.Z and Kain were behind him in no time and they joined the fight as more soul eaters came. They fought together taking down the soul eaters till there was none left.Breathing heavily, Sora faced Z “Stay here.” But Sora knew Z wouldn’t listen so he faced Kain instead. “Keep her here.”Although Kain still had the same look of rage he had seen earlier, Sora knew he would keep Z in place, and inst
