He stares deeply into her eyes for several seconds as if trying to read her mind or something like that; feeling slightly nervous about saying anything to her until he notices how she has placed both hands on her hips while biting down on her bottom lip. Her eyes are full of excitement yet also show a little bit of uncertainty about what might happen next between them... He could see those emotions within himself now too whenever they were together even though they still weren't quite there physically speaking. He felt things inside of him stirring again, taking control of his body, almost making him forget everything else around him so that they could be alone in their private world.Aiden reaches out towards her, "you're beautiful..." His voice sounds strained as he tries to hold back his urge to touch her as much as possible so that he doesn't ruin the moment by coming across as overly eager or desperate to have her near to him after such a long time since they'd last had any cont
"Who is she?" Gregg asks as he takes a step towards them; looking directly into Risa's eyes when she turns around. He then pauses for a moment before continuing, "she doesn't look familiar.""That's because we've never met before... I mean, you interrupted our quiet time." Risa responds while trying to avoid staring directly into Gregg's eyes while also trying to keep herself hidden away from view so that Aiden wouldn't be in trouble for associating with her.Aiden sighs as they swim back over to where he'd left his clothes lying on the pier. They make their way back up onto land as he walks ahead, he stops and points at Gregg while asking, "how did you find me?"Gregg raises his hands in defense, a wry smile on his face as he replies, "I was following you!"Risa rolls her eyes and shakes her head in disbelief as she continues walking. Aiden looks between the two of them as he asks, "why were you following us?""I don't know. It was a random thing that happened..." Gregg says while sc
"How did you see through my disguise...?" Gregg asks in disbelief over what was happening right now.Risa gets to her feet in a hurry, her claws barred as she prepares to engage this unknown individual who took the image and likeness of Gregg.'Activate the Enhancer ability now, Lyris,' Aiden commands.He clenches his fist, ready for a duel as he watches the body of the imposter bend over and begin to groan out in pain on its knees while clutching onto itself tightly. An appendage sprung from beneath his jacket begins to grow longer into a large blade-like weapon that is shaped like an upside-down crescent moon; it glows brightly in the sunlight before it strikes at Aiden but narrowly misses him by the hair.Risa's hair flies wildly around her as she charges at the enemy—she looks like some kind of uncontrollable beast, ferociously roaring as she tries to kill him for interrupting their moment together.Aiden quickly dodges the incoming attack and then makes another move. He throws an
In Gregg's home,He groggily walks to his nightstand, scratching his head as he pulls on his underwear. Once he had finished putting his clothes on, he slowly made his way down the hallway toward the kitchen. He could hear the faint sounds of crickets chirping outside the window. His house was still quiet which meant there wasn't anyone else around except for him."Hmmm..." Gregg mumbles under his breath as he opens up the cupboard and begins rummaging through until he finds a bottle of beer inside; then he pours himself a glass full and drinks it down in one go before setting back to his couch.Taking a huge gulp of beer, he stares at his phone screen in thought before reaching over to grab his laptop. He sat on the edge of the sofa so that he could set it on the table in front of him. Then he presses the power button on the device so that it boots itself up so that he can continue working on whatever project it is he has been trying to work on for the last few days—so far without an
As Gregg turns around, he sees the second creature that had entered through the window. It was a monster with green, scaly skin, razor-sharp teeth, and sharp claws. Its eyes were glowing red and it had a sinister grin on its face. Gregg knew that it was one of the monsters that he had battled before and had nearly defeated.Without a moment's hesitation, Gregg jumped to his feet and charged at the monster. He had the power of speed, and he used it to his advantage. He moved so quickly that the monster couldn't keep up with him. Gregg landed several punches and kicks on the monster, but it didn't seem to be fazed at all.Gregg realized that he needed a different approach. He decided to use his speed to his advantage once again, but this time he circled the monster, trying to get behind it. The monster was confused and didn't know where Gregg was. Suddenly, Gregg appeared behind it and delivered a powerful blow to the back of its head.The monster let out a loud howl as blood splattered
Gregg took a moment to think. "We need to find a place to hide and wait until we can figure out what to do next."They drove around the city, looking for a suitable hiding spot. But as they turned a corner, they were suddenly confronted by a group of monsters, blocking their path.Gregg slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a screeching halt. The monsters roared in anger and started chasing after the vehicle in an attempt to get at its passengers inside. They could hear several loud thuds from outside as one after another monster ran into the side of the car. This caused Gregg's heart rate to increase drastically and made his palms sweaty. It seemed that these creatures wanted nothing more than blood; unfortunately for them, there was no way Gregg would give them any satisfaction.He stepped out of the car and grabbed his knives while glancing back at Risa and Aiden who was standing behind him, ready for a fight."We need to fight," he said, looking at Risa and Aiden. "I can't le
Aiden ran toward Risa and grabbed her hand. Then they both took off running with Gregg behind them. Their speed increased, and they didn't even have to take any side roads or paths since they were able to run straight through buildings.They continued to run until they finally reached a favorable destination—the top floor of an apartment building. They then jumped out onto a window ledge, climbing down the wall before jumping to a nearby roof where Gregg used the speed of his hands spinning in circles to send a gust of wind blowing, knocking over some garbage cans and scattering the contents across the street below. After that, Gregg sent another burst of air rushing toward the ground causing debris to fly around everywhere. This made it difficult for anyone chasing them to see what direction they had taken.A monster dropped dead on impact as the blade came crashing down upon him; blood spurted out from its neck as Aiden swung the ax over his head again, slamming it into the next cre
Gregg switched his gaze from Risa then to Draed, a cold sweat running down his forehead. He didn't know what to make of this sudden turn of events; he could only guess that Aiden must be referring to his family ties to the organization. Gregg knew that Aiden was aware of this fact."Yes, my father has been working as an adviser to the council. So he is familiar with their members, and they are acquainted with him as well. But it's been such a long time since we broke ties with them, so we don't keep a close relationship with the Unseen Assembly, though."Aiden nodded and let out a sigh of relief before putting his ax away. "That's a good thing. You see, the reason why I'm asking is because of the recent attacks by the rogue dragon known as Black Scales. Mr. Smith sent me here on his orders to investigate whether or not the attacks were related to the Council of Six that make up the Unseen Assembly." Gregg shrugged in confusion as to why Aiden would need to speak about all this to him
