Talesein's cave was a small site right outside of Glover city. It was located in a very watery area of the island and as Xavier scrolled through some of the pictures he was seeing, he couldn't help but feel worried.Aubrey had woken up this morning and promptly forgotten all that she had intended to say about the seal used to lock the file he had pilfered from the island's database. He was half expecting some military officials or the CIA to break into his home and arrest him for being a national threat to cyber security, but that would only happen if he intended to get caught and he didn't intend to.Right now his biggest problem was this expedition Con had taken half of his household on.The cave they were going to was one that was half above ground, and half submerged in water.Lisa could take care of herself and Con could take care of all of them if anything happened, but his main reason for worrying was Con's reason for wanting to go to this place.The God of Mercenary never did
Jake looked at himself in the mirror and he could feel rage bubbling up in him at the sight of his broken arm. It hurt like hell.The skin had been directly ripped off and the bone had been pulled out of its socket. He lost an arm!A freaking arm just like that!Jake felt his temper rising and he had to control his emotions so he didn't burst into tears.Why the hell was life always like this to him? How many years had he even spent enjoying the pleasures of his new life? It wasn't even up to twenty years!In the past ten years he had run amok in Glover city. His father had left him a secret on his deathbed.It was the details on how to contact a secret organization named Horizon. They were a covert group that had gained fame and power in the past few years. Their advancements in the field of modified and altered humans was commendable and they held extreme power.More power than any government could ever wield. He had been fortunate enough to make sure that he pursued that contac
Con could feel something weird in the waters surrounding this place. Talesein's cave was half underground and half above the water.They had to wait for a speed boat to come before they boarded it and ventured into the cave. In truth, it wasn't really a cave. It was more of a huge cavern and the way it was almost fully lighted gave it a sort of magical feeling .The sun was high in the sky. The sea was reflecting the light of the sun through its waters and the water was crystal clear.The cave had many parts of it's roof that had been broken off and the sunlight came in through there too. It didn't look anything like a scary cave or a cavern.Con smiled at that. In truth he had actually wanted to just come here on a cruise, but after he had felt a strange presence in the water, how could he just leave without checking out what it was? '"Can we stop here please?"Lisa's voice cut the silence they had been in a few moments ago and Con quirked his eyebrow up at the little girl. She wasn
Lisa Frost sneered at the boat of the young man approaching them in his own boat and the frown on her face deepened . She would naturally not have anything to do with someone like him, but he attended the same college she did and she couldn't help but have a few altercations with him.Con noticed the irritated expression on the young girl's face and he directed his eyes back to their incoming visitors. He would have felt better had they not been in a cave but rather on bare ground and he would have loved to know what gave this young man the right to stare at Xavier's daughter so lustfully. There was someone else with him in the boat though and that was the real reason why he had become attentive to this boat all of a sudden. The other occupant of the boat was an older man similar in appearance to the other one who was looking at Lisa so brazenly.This guy was the main reason why he felt interested in the incoming boat. Abdel could feel the smile on his face about to break. He felt l
A splash was heard the next moment and the gasping of a young man as he struggled in the water came next.Apparently Abdel didn't want to believe what had just happened to him but the evidence was more than clear. He was in the water, looking at both sailing vessels from below and the look on his face turned from perplexed to annoyed. What the hell just happened?Con stood at the edge of the boat and he smiled faintly as he looked down."Use some of that water to wash that filthy mouth of yours. I hear sea water does great in cleansing a foolish mind."The young boy looked incredulous and Con turned back to look at his main opponent. The older Finland brother had also stepped onto their vessel and there was an air of superiority in the way he stood and gazed at everyone else. There was mild annoyance on his face and it was obvious that he had not appreciated his brother being thrown out of the boat like that, but when he looked over at the other two women in the craft, he calmed do
Xavier stared at the file in his hands and he frowned.It had been hours since Con left, and yet nothing useful had come out of his hours of searching. At most he had seen something that looked like the mark he had seen on Con's body that day, but apart from that nothing else had come up about him being a member of the Blacks.The birth record had been cut off since a thousand years ago and he could not get his hands on any material that said for certain, a male child of the Black family had been born at this time and that child had been taken away from the family.Con's birth was not in the records, neither was the birth of his father because according to this record, the last person on the list had been Rhaegar Black, the last of the Blacks and the heir to the Black heritage.This heritage didn't seem to be talking about wealth too and neither did it seem to be talking about fame or fortune. The heritage was something else.Something that was probably important enough to make sure
The feeling of air returning into the lungs of her new patient left Lisa feeling relieved and ecstatic. She had discovered the space hidden in the walls of the cavern.She had been reluctant to believe it at first, but her radar kept on showing blank and empty spaces in places where there should not be such things. Like underneath the water, and in some parts of the cave.Talesein's cave didn't look like much from the outside, but on the inside it was a massive space and they had searched extensively. The space they had thought was the wall to the end of the cave had actually been a barrier.A mere hologram, designed to keep others away and deceive them into thinking that nothing was in the cave.It was genius really, and even up until now she could not determine how that image had been set up to such perfection.But she had been able to determine the existence of an opening right in one of the walls they had driven past, and when Con had touched it, the wall had opened up.They met t
"Is this the city you want destroyed?"Con looked at the man in front of him and tried to figure out what was happening.What city, and why would he want it destroyed?His head was woozy, his legs were light and his body felt like it wasn't his. Like he was floating right outside that body and it wasn't him controlling it anymore.Almost as an afterthought Con felt himself focusing on something. The feeling that he was in deep contemplation was like a dull taste at the back of his throat and he heard his voice say something shocking next."Can we use the people in it as a sacrifice? A whole realm wouldn't compare to a city but at the very least it would make up for something right?"The man at his side nodded and Con watched as that man tapped something at the side of his sleeve gently. The floor around them seemed to pulse with some strange energy and soon images appeared in front of them.Millions of images showing millions of people living their lives. Some of those images depicted
