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
"What do you want me to do today Master Frost?"Xavier stared at the small floating ball of light in his hands and he cocked his head to the side.What the hell could this thing be?Lisa had come to his room early this morning almost shaking and in tears. She was scared and after the talk he had with Con last night, fear from his daughter had been the last thing that he would have wanted to see the next morning.Lisa had come into his room practically shaking and she didn't look like the type of person that cried easily.She handed the ball of light over to him and said it was a strange object. She had spent all night trying to figure out how to open it and how to get it to respond to her, but the thing just created a force field that expanded and retracted so quickly that the resulting shock wave ruined all the other things in her lab. Her test tube, reports, documentations on plants she had acquired from all over the island, all of them were gone. Nothing had been saved and couple
Jake looked at the arm that had been reattached for him and he gave a small sad smile at it.Who would have thought that he of all people would need a fake arm."Is it going to be okay doctor?"Aubrey looked at the doctor and noticed the way the man's eyes flashed past her boobs. It had been quite some time that she had experienced that now. Not the fact that someone was looking at her, people always looked at her, but the fact that someone could be so subtle about it, that was what really fascinated her about it.The doctor was young like herself and Jake, and the fact that she was looking at him and that she was also looking for someone else to fill in the space that Jake's absence would soon bring, the doctor seemed to be a very good alternative.Jake wouldn't keep her for long and she knew he would find out that she didn't like him anymore.He would come to realize that she wasn't as loyal as she had made him believe and then he would try to get rid of her. She would have to fin
"This person called you Daimon?"Con nodded his head and looked into the distance again."I'm pretty sure that's what he called me, or was it Darion?"Xavier sighed and Lisa found herself rolling her eyes at the sound of that sigh. Con was messing with all of them and he seemed to enjoy doing that regardless of the fact that he had been asked to stop a number of times now.It was a very funny affair, but it was also a serious one and the tension in the air could cut a piece of paper. "Are you being honest Con or are you just joking with me?"Lisa could hear the dangerous tone her father's voice had taken and she gulped at that. It was never a good idea to try tricking him when he had not gotten his full amount of rest. Even ten percent of the rest he should have taken would be enough for her father to function at full speed the rest of the day, but from the look in his eyes she could tell that he had skipped sleep all together.He was looking cranky and it showed in his voice.Con c
Con stared at the information being displayed in the space in front of him and he frowned."What is this?" Xavier simply dropped a file on the table before him and he moved it closer to the other man. They were in his home office now and so far nothing had settled at all.Con had become more agitated and it would soon be nightfall. He was scared of having that dream again but that was the least of their problems ,Their major problem now was Lana Caswell. She had almost finalized her divorce to Jake when Orion city collapsed and she had been taken by that strange hand.Now Con was back, and she just happened to show up at the same time.It was fishy, and not comforting at all. He was happy that they were both back, but he didn't know what that would mean for all of them together. There were still a lot of mysteries they had left unsolved and new ones were popping up everyday.It would be enough to make anyone feel disconcerted.Con could feel the anxiety radiating off Xavier. He was
