A couple of minutes ago, after Jeremiah entered the building and was walking in an empty passageway the scent trail of David and Lynette led him to, he saw something very interesting.

It was a phone lying on the floor with the back camera facing the ceiling.

“What’s this?” He grimaced under his helmet.

Curious as to why a phone was abandoned there, Jeremiah walked over to it and then crouched down to pick it up.

Once in his hand, Jeremiah groaned.

“This looks familiar” Jeremiah commented as he observed the phone which he was sure that he had seen before.

Wanting to confirm his suspicions, Jeremiah pressed the power button and what he saw on the Lock Screen proved his thoughts.

He had gotten a good look at David’s phone back at the castle when David showed him the button he had wanted to press to call some of the guards to where he was. An action that ended up backfiring on him when the guards sided with Jeremiah instead.

Looking at the Lock Screen, Jeremiah saw that as

    IMPLOSION was a spell that the members of Dark Emblem used to kill their targets quickly and it was the spell Adam loved to use the most. It was to the point that he was known in the entire organization as the fastest when it came to casting it, making him formidable among their ranks, but he had just failed to kill one man twice? What was going on? Both Dean and Adam stared at Jeremiah with curiosity but also concern. Adam and Dean looked at each other then they looked at Jeremiah and with quick speed, they pointed their hands at Jeremiah and cast the IMPLOSION spell. As expected, Adam’s was the first to shoot towards Jeremiah while Dean’s followed a fraction of a second later. No way Jeremiah was going to evade the two of them as it wouldn’t only be insane but also humanly impossible, right? Well, that was the same thing they thought would happen in the welcome ceremony. It would be impossible for the guests not to die from the explosion of the magical Rubix cube, but just li

    “How did you do that?!” Adam asked aggressively as he hurriedly turned to Jeremiah. He had never seen a situation where something thrown by someone shattered something as strong as their magical shield. It was inconceivable to even think about but it just happened right in front of his eyes. In less than a minute, Jeremiah had done two things he thought were impossible. Avoid his IMPLOSION and shattered Dean’s shield which was one of the best in Dark Emblem. Jeremiah groaned and said “So you care about your partner? I wouldn’t have expected that emotion to exist in your organization” Adam frowned while Dean caught his breath. “How does it feel when someone you know gets hurt? Doesn’t feel good, does it? Well, tell that to the families of all the people you killed and the guests at the welcome ceremony who you almost killed” said Jeremiah with a tone of disgust in his voice. Immediately, Adam’s eyes widened. “The welcome ceremony? How did you know about that— wait a minute! Wha

    Seeing Dean’s hand pointed at David and knowing the spell he was threatening to use, Jeremiah pictured the dismembered bodies of the guards he saw outside.He thought about how the same was going to happen to David if he didn’t do what Dean wanted and left with no other choice, he halted his entrance.“Fuck” Jeremiah said under his breath. How was he going to get out of this situation? He wondered.Yes, he was very fast but sadly not fast enough to close the gap between himself and Dean before Dean kills David, so there was no point in trying.He couldn’t risk David’s life like that.“Why are you doing this?” Jeremiah asked.“Unfortunately, the concealment spell is something Adam would have to continuously cast as he and the bride escape, making him unable to defend himself or attack unless he wants you to know where they are, but that’s why I’m here. I’m going to keep you here until they get away” Dean said.Normally, CONCEALMENT is used to hide something stationary as it creates a

    Turns out Jeremiah had taken a page off of Dean’s book. Distract the enemy and move while they are focused on something else. From the distance between the two of them and Jeremiah’s speed, it would take him a second to get to Dean. Unfortunately, it would only take Dean a second to cast the IMPLOSION spell, so without taking his eyes off Jeremiah while his hand was still pointed at David, Dean cast the spell. After he finished and the destructive energy shot out his hand, Dean smirked victoriously. There was nothing Jeremiah could do to stop David’s death—Dean thought. Unfortunately for him, Jeremiah had already planned ahead, and it was at that moment Dean realized that he was seeing Jeremiah’s face and not the motorcycle helmet anymore. Jeremiah had taken the helmet off before he started dashing towards Dean and David, and once close enough, he threw it towards them. Dean retracted his hand that had shot the IMPLOSION spell at David and went into a defensive stance to prote

    Jeremiah looked at Dean and said “Why would I go through the trouble of saving him from you only to turn around and kill him myself? I’m not like you bastards” Jeremiah was disgusted Dean could even ask him such a stupid question. “T-then what did you just do?” Dean stuttered. “What I did was get you fuckers out of his head,” Jeremiah said, then slapped David’s face and he woke up. David gasped as his body sprung up and he started panting. He had just just woken up from being choked, so he needed as much air in his lungs as possible. Seeing David, Dean jolted with a shocked look. “Cousin? What are you doing here? Speaking of here… where are we?” David asked as he tried catching his breath. “You broke the spell?” Dean mumbled, utterly shocked as he saw David acting normally. He knew that a way to get rid of the mind control was to knock the victim out, and then when they woke up, they would go back to normal again, but he didn’t think Jeremiah would do that. Did Jeremiah k

    “Now that I don’t have to worry about another person’s safety anymore, I can go as hard as I want to. Let’s see how you do with nobody to hide behind” Jeremiah smirked. Dean, who heard that sentence and felt belittled, scoffed. “Don’t think I’m going to make it easy for you. It doesn’t matter if you’re the reincarnation of Crimson, the power dragon or not, I’m not going to go down as easy as you think” “We’ll see about that” Jeremiah replied and with that, the battle started. Dean raised his hands the same way he did when he and Adam were trying to absorb the magical energy they thought David had. His hands were like that of a pastor preaching to a congregation and without wasting a second, he started casting a spell. Watching and reading Dean’s lips from where he stood, Jeremiah saw that what he was saying was different from what he said when he cast IMPLOSION or SHIELD, meaning that whatever he was casting was a different spell. Not knowing what that spell was or what it

    Jeremiah groaned, annoyed that things had become more challenging than he expected.Who would have thought that Dean was capable of doing something as impressive as changing the trajectory of his spells, turning them into homing missiles basically? Well, he was a mage with a lot of knowledge and experience and a member of the most powerful magic organization in the world, so nothing he did was to be taken as too much of a surprise, but still, this was ridiculous. Good thing Jeremiah had been cautious and waited to see what Dean did before attacking because he could have acted haphazardly and ended up getting hit with a surprise attack that would kill him. Dean pointed his hand at Jeremiah again and the six fireballs shot at him, but unlike last time, Jeremiah knew that just dodging them wasn’t going to be enough. He had to find a different solution.Jeremiah saw the six fireballs flying towards him and just as he was about to dodge, he stopped when he saw them change direction and

    The way Jeremiah held Dean up by his neck— his toes barely touching the floor— the mage started suffocating. However, his ego wouldn’t let him beg Jeremiah to let him go. Instead, he tried to take advantage of the fact that he and Jeremiah were so close to try and attack Jeremiah again. Dean reached into his pocket for a knife, while also using all his willpower to retain consciousness, and he tried to stab Jeremiah.Unfortunately for him, Jeremiah was just too fast and observant to be taken down like that. He saw Dean reaching into his pocket for something and the moment he pulled out a knife, Jeremiah grabbed his wrist.“Not so fast,” Jeremiah said and started squeezing Dean’s wrist.“Come on. Drop it” Jeremiah instructed, and the pain of his hand being crushed plus the fact that he was about to pass out forced Dean to let go of the knife.“Good” Jeremiah smirked, then he looked at Dean’s face and continued to wonder what he should do with him. He had promised to kill both him a

    Jeremiah grinned, happy about the news of him getting to learn magic.Magic was something every kid wished they could do growing up, but eventually, they would become disappointed when they found out that it wasn’t real. However, not only was Jeremiah going to fulfill his childhood dream of learning and then doing magic, but it wasn’t going to be the type the magicians he loved to watch did. This wasn’t going to be tricks or sleight-of-hand gimmicks, but rather the real deal.The same type of magic that only existed in fictional movies with characters seemingly doing the impossible with just the utterance of words and now he was about to be one of them.“Now that Dark Emblem has been informed of the Lord’s return and will be preparing to come for him, do you realistically think that you have enough time to teach him magic that would make a difference between winning or losing?” Reginald asked. Obadiah looked at Jeremiah from head to toe, placed his hand on his chin, groaned, and the

    Inside the Study, Reginald, who noticed that Jeremiah’s mind was elsewhere, asked him what he was doing. Jeremiah had actually been eavesdropping on David, wondering if he would say anything that would expose his involvement in the gas processing plant’s explosion and prove to Jeremiah that his suspicion was right. However, that didn’t happen and Jeremiah got annoyed that David stopped talking all of a sudden. From the last sentence Jeremiah heard David say before abruptly cutting himself off, he concluded that David knew he was onto him and was actively trying not to expose himself. Or perhaps it was just a coincidence, and Jeremiah was wrong about the whole thing—meaning David wasn’t involved in the explosion at all. There could only be one answer to the two possibilities, and time would reveal which one was correct because sooner or later, David was bound to slip up. All Jeremiah had to do was wait for that moment to come. Jeremiah replied “Nothing. I was just listening to wh

    David, looking at Jeremiah, blinked multiple times to emphasize his shock.Even though he had once thought that Jeremiah had joined hands with Dean and Adam to kill all the guards—after seeing the dismembered bodies when he escaped the plant—the fact that this was only an assumption and was never confirmed left him with some doubt that Jeremiah had ever gotten blood on his hands.That assumption quickly vanished after he heard about how Jeremiah saved everyone at the welcome ceremony from the Rubik's Cube bomb and even traveled a great distance to save him.However, when Jeremiah admitted outright that he had killed Dean—and went on to elaborate on how he did it—it sent a shock through David's body. He realized he might have been wrong about who Jeremiah had killed, but not about the fact that he had killed someone.‘So he really is a cold-blooded murderer’ David thought and gulped.Just then, David noticed something that felt concerning.He looked at Reginald and the three other men—

    David tried standing up but before he did, Kingston offered him a hand. David looked at Kingston’s hand but instead of accepting, he felt insulted. The fact that he had just heard that Jeremiah, his one competition for the throne, was a powerful being who could do whatever he wanted, made him feel weak and useless in comparison, and seeing Kingston’s hand annoyed the hell out of him.Still, he had to maintain composure.“No thanks. I can stand on my own” David said, feigning a smile.“As you wish, Sir” Kingston replied then retracted his hand and stood upright while David went on his feet and walked back to where he once was.“Are you okay?” Reginald asked.However, David, who was annoyed that Reginald felt it necessary to ask that question out of concern for his earlier reaction, forced a smile.“I am Uncle, so please, continue,” David said. Reginald looked at Jeremiah and said “You should also listen to what I’m going to say because it involves you as well” “Okay,” Jeremiah grim

    Reginald started by revealing the history of Crimson Fall to David, who at first was confused as to why he was telling him an old folk tale but soon realized why when Reginald told him the part that only the king and a select few knew. The moment David heard about reincarnation, his eyes widened, asking himself if such a thing existed.Unfortunately, that wasn’t the only bombshell he was going to hear as the story continued to unfold.Reginald told him that it was the Garrick family's mission to make sure that Lord Crimson, the powerful dragon who ruled over Crimson Fall for centuries, reincarnated and like that wasn’t enough, he gestured at Jeremiah and told him that Jeremiah was Lord Crimson, reincarnated.“I’m sorry what?” David asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t mishearing things. “You heard me right. Your cousin, who we all thought was dead, is our one true ruler. The all-powerful, Lord Crimson” Reginald said passionately. David’s eyes blinked multiple times as he looked at

    The boldness with which Jeremiah said “Yes, I did” demoralized David. It was like he was telling David that he didn’t regret what he did and was daring him to reprimand his actions. Knowing that he couldn’t lash out at Jeremiah for what he did, David had no choice but to gulp and accept what happened and move on— making him more mad because he hated being made to feel small and insignificant. “I’m sure you had your reasons but can you please tell me why you hurt my friends,” David asked, making sure to choose his words carefully so as not to sound like he was confronting Jeremiah. “Friends? I think you’re misunderstanding something, David.” Reginald said and David quickly looked at him, wondering what he was talking about. “Jeremiah didn’t hurt your friends but your friend. Only one person was hurt by his hands” Reginald clarified. David grimaced. He reflected on Reginald’s words and remembered that the king had said “friend” instead of “friends” when he revealed that the per

    That’s right, he had completely forgotten about his punishment because of the night he had, but it’s a good thing Reginald was bringing it up now.What was his uncle going to say? Hopefully, something along the lines of, he had seen that David had learned his lesson and because of that he had decided to bring the punishment to an end. David thought and started smiling discreetly.“After the aftermath of the explosion at the welcome ceremony, I have decided that—“ Reginald said, but David cut him off.“Explosion at the welcome ceremony?! What explosion?” David asked and Reginald paused.“You haven’t heard about the explosion yet?” Reginald asked. “No, I haven’t. There was another explosion but at the welcome ceremony?” David replied.David had been so anxious to find out what Jeremiah knew about the gas processing plant explosion that he was tunnel-visioned from everything else. He had just gone to his room to freshen up, changed clothes, and then went to Reginald’s study for the mee

    After looking at everyone in the Study and seeing how they were staring at him— especially Jeremiah’s whose stare was like a predator’s to a prey— David, who realized that he was in a hot mess, thought of how to get away from the situation.How could he spin the story and change the narrative in his favor? He wondered and his brain started working at a million miles an hour in search of the answer.Soon enough, a thought came to his mind and he decided to go with it.David started chuckling, making everyone wonder why he was doing that.What did he find so funny?“Uncle, what gave you the impression that I knew about the explosion before it happened?” David asked.Reginald, who thought about the question, grimaced and adjusted how he sat.“Well, if I remember correctly, you were rambling about how we should leave the area and were adamant about it for a good minute before the building exploded, so I thought that your behavior was because you beforehand that the building was going to e

    Once inside the study, the first thing Jeremiah did was pause and groan when he saw David standing in front of the desk. Kingston, who was just as surprised as Jeremiah at the sight of David, jolted and asked “Sir David, you’re already here?”“Yes, he is. Truthfully, even I was surprised when he arrived before you two did, but for some reason, he seemed eager to have the meeting which I guess is a good thing because I have so much to ask him” Reginald said.David, who was trying his best to keep his cool and act normal, turned to Reginald and smiled. “I just wanted to tell Uncle what happened because I know how worried he was about my disappearance and maybe that will calm his mind a little,” David said.Reginald, who didn’t know the young man’s true motive and believed his words, smiled. He took David’s feigned concern for him as a sign of David changing and attributed it to the punishment he gave him working. Speaking of the punishment, what was going to happen now that the guard
