The sound of cars and people made for a weird sort of symphony.Con let himself bask in the feeling of that before he finally sat down on one of the chairs by the side of the road.There was a stream flowing where the chair faced. Away from the road and backing whoever had been following him all this while.He would watch the water for a while, and if whoever was trailing him didn't come to him with a knife to his neck or an explanation, then he would walk over to them and get an answer the good ol' way.Con felt movement behind him and he smiled.He turned around to see a surprising sight.He wasn't being followed by a man, but by a woman who had a veil on her face. Her dress wasn't much too and it revealed flashes of her skin.He could already tell just by looking at her."You're the one who was in my room last night weren't you?"The veiled lady simply nodded her head slightly and walked around to come sit beside him.She was barefooted and Con found that strange.After she sat dow
It was a sunny day and Con could already feel the need to stay in bed rising.He hated what he would have to do today, but he would have to if he ever wanted to break the mystery of who was trailing him.She had come again last night, the veiled lady, and she had dropped yet another velvet fabric on his bed.The fact that this lady still got into his room even though he had made sure to lock that night bothered him. She couldn't have walked through the wall could she?And she had walked into his room unclothed again. It bothered him. He had to find out what the address on the paper she had given him meant. If it was a location, then he would have to go there, but if it was some secret code he was meant to decode then he would do that too.He had to get some of his questions answered and he had to get this irritating itch at the back of his mind taken care of."Couldn't sleep again?"Xavier cocked an eyebrow at his boss as he walked into the room and the look on Con's face was enough
"Why do you think it's turning that sickly green color?"Aubrey found herself panicking the more she held the pentagon shaped object in her hands. It had been pure black a few days ago, now it was this sickly green and it was scaring the shit out of her.Jane was behind her, with a question mark on her face and Con was still missing. The fact that she had found this object among his belongings didn't make her feel relaxed either.The sudden color change made her feel worried. What of this thing was connected to him somehow?Jane could see Aubrey was panicking, and not a mild sort of panic but evident and prominent panic. She was freaking out because the thing in her hands had changed from its deep black color to a sickly green one.All established information, but at the same time it was the sort of information that caused one to feel confused. To begin with, why did Con have something like this?She could swear she had seen this object somewhere, maybe somewhere in a book or in a n
The Dramain museum was a massive hulking structure.It stood two storeys high and almost two acres long. Relics adorned the walls and artifacts stood in glass cages.So far, Jane didn't look impressed."How long do we have to keep on searching for this thing?"Aubrey simply chuckled to herself and shook her head."We haven't even been here for an hour yet and you're already tired."She watched as the other lady let out an exasperated sigh and turned back to looking at the artifacts on the walls.The Dramain museum had been around for as long as anyone could remember. It was a building that was open to the public and which housed all manners of strange and odd materials.Like the golden eye on the wall and the ram's horn inside a glass case. The museum always had a steady influx of people coming in and going out.Such a place would have been robbed blind under normal circumstances, but nothing about the museum was normal really.No one could steal anything from it. Not even some of the
Con got out of bed to feel the edge of his eyes hurting and swollen.Was he really sick?He scoffed at the thought.He had never fallen sick in the past twelve years of his life. His body was stronger than that.No, this was something else.Con stood up from the bed and walked over to the door.This sudden sickness had hit him the night before and only one thing had happened that night. The rains had fallen and he had been visited by that lady creep again.He could feel a headache coming on.Thinking about that strange lady always gave him a headache. His head was banging, almost as if someone had taken a hammer to it and set to hitting his head with said hammer.The severity of the pain surprised him, but they wouldn't keep him from achieving what he wanted to achieve today.Xavier had gone out to find what the object from his dream meant. He had seen that in the dream he had on his first day in the city and after that, last night.The object had flashed in his eyes almost like deja
Con found the fact that he was being followed again a bit funny.It was barely a day since he had last been followed while on a main road like this.First it was the uncouth women.And then the lady with the veil.And now this random person who didn't want to take a hint.Would he never really have the anonymous life he had gotten used to back?Con sighed as he kept on walking and he turned around to see if his stalker was still there. He was.He didn't even bother to conceal himself. He walked right behind him boldly and with a smile on his face.Con found that weird, but continued walking all the same.They were in a public space so he didn't need to worry about being ganged up on and kidnapped. But he couldn't have some random man following him around too. He had to do something about that.Con turned the curve in the road and walked off into an alley. He faked taking a piss and waited for the creep to follow him.Sure enough the man stopped once he got to the alleyway and smirk
Con watched as the lady in front of him blew on her tea and sipped it."Are you okay, miss?"She nodded her head and stole a glance at him as she did so.Con found himself repressing the smile that was about to bloom on his face.What was it with him and meeting beautiful women? He had even slammed her against the wall and tried to choke her but she didn't seem too offended by his actions. In fact she seemed to perfectly understand that he had only been doing it out of self defense and that he hadn't meant to slam her against the wall that hard.She was very considerate.He liked her.She had a voice like a lark and she had that innocent aura about her.Con chuckled.Looking at her fully would make you think otherwise though.The fashion trends in Orion city seemed to be very different from that of Glover city. Especially that of the women here.Their dresses screamed allure and courage. They had skin and they weren't afraid to show it. Con quite liked it. The lady in front of him h
So it would seem the whole "fuck me" line had just been part of a ruse.He was sitting with the lady, alone, in a room, and she didn't seem eager to do anything with him. She could barely even look at him without blushing.Con smirked and cocked an eyebrow up at her."I thought you said you wanted us to...""Sshhh."Con widened his eyes as the lady suddenly moved towards him to place a finger on his lips.She still refused to look directly at him and she was looking to the side of his face instead. He could still see a furious blush on her cheeks and he couldn't help the smile that bloomed on his face.Okay, she was definitely a remarkable woman. So far, almost all the women he had come across actually avoided touching him.None of them had taken the initiative to offer him what she had at the restaurant.He liked this lady. If not for anything, then for this small act she had carried out just now.Con cleared his throat and smiled as the lady moved back. She was very pretty, and she
