Death Games
Covert agreement

Rexcel and Doxia shuddered at Aza Ergo's words. The man's words again reminded them of the horror of Lord Criber.

“Hei! You misunderstood me! We have nothing to do with this!” scream Doxia.

“So?”

“If you're done, quickly tell us why you're meeting us,” cut Reve.

“Mmm .. My reason is yes. If I said I wanted to finish you all off, how about?”

Reve glanced at the ring on the young man's middle finger. “Merlindia (witch), don't think that we have no way to deal with higher-ups like you.”

“Aah! So arrogant of you. I'm just here to offer you a deal. You three, can you come with me?” designate Aza Ergo on Horusca, Riz and Reve.

The three appointed people looked at each other, until finally the two of them nodded then went to follow Aza Ergo. “What does that person want to talk about?” ask Doxia.

 “Now, whatever it is, but it doesn't seem like a good thing,” interrupted Rexcel.

In a room on the quiet third floor, the four people were now standing face to face. “So what is needed?”

“No patience,” Aza Ergo looked at Reve who spoke.

Riz stared around, feeling strange with the calmness there. An unusual painting with a picture of a peacock full of blood thwarts Riz's focus. “I want us to work together,” said Aza Ergo suddenly.

“Cooperate?” riz's focus on the painting was thwarted by his speech.

“Ya, how?”

The three young men hesitated to answer. Aza Ergo's gaze behind her strange smile hinted at a mystery. “We will cooperate in what?” Riz tilted his astonished face.

Aza Ergo laughs. “If we cooperate, I can get you guys out of this city without getting caught. Don't forget, interfering with the law of the world Guide means crime.”

“It's a shame I'm not interested. Without your help, I can leave right now,” Reve said haughtily.

“A cocky boy, do you want me to get caught right now?” menacam Aza Ergo's.

“What do you expect from us?” cut Horusca.

Aza Ergo looked at him. Slowly, a strange smile spread wide about to split his face. “Have you ever heard of amaryllis?”

Reve's stunned. While Riz, he looked with a face that did not know what Aza Ergo was asking. As for Horusca, the young man remained calm his expression hearing the higher-ups question in front of him.

“Amarilla? Flowers?” oceh Riz's.

“Peri.”

“Peri? I just came into this world. So I don't know about that,” explained Riz.

Reve shifted his gaze. So did Horusca, until finally the young man let out a soothing low voice. “Germany amaryllis. Fairy whose love is unrequited then sells souls to the darkness for pleasure?”

“Aha! You know the story?” Aza Ergo looked pleased with his expression. He brought his handsome face closer to Horusca who was not looking at him.

“Ancient story. What do you want with that story?”

Aza Ergo grinned. “I want amaryllis blood, instead, I'll find you a hiding place and a safe way to return to the human world. How?”

“A safe path to the human world?” riz's ears seemed to widen hearing the words of Aza Ergo.

“True. You fugitives, once you challenge the law you are still criminals who must be tried. Isn't this an interesting offer?”

“Intinya, if with you, we won't have any trouble with the other higher-ups?” ask Reve.

“Really, because I can secure you guys from his attention. How?”

“Amarylis series is just a fairy tale,” timpal Horusca.

“Tongs? You're the original inhabitant of the world Guide?” Aza Ergo stared intently at Horusca. He stared at the red-haired young man from top to bottom, “what is this? You're not human? Which nation are you from?” Aza Ergo frowned as she could not smell anything from her body.

Horusca just looked at him. “I refuse,” cut Reve suddenly while leaning against the sofa.

“Why?”

“I have another purpose. Working together with you is just a waste of time,” obviously Reve ignored the exasperated look of the higher-ups.

“Really? What is your purpose?”

“Not your business,” Ketus Reve.

“You sure rejected my offer?”

“Then why did you offer it? You want to use our weaknesses to your advantage?” Reve stood back up and approached him. “Killing you is the safest way to hide.”

“Tak problems. But your steps will not be safe in this world. The homes of nations will not let fugitives like you roam. Especially with the recent hydra incident.”

“Even if we are willing to help. What should we do to get the amaryllis fairy's blood?” ask Riz to her.

 “You only need to accompany me and provide energy assistance on my journey to find that blood.”

“Company and provide power assistance?” riz's expression turned reluctant.

“Yes. I just need that. Comparable isn't it?”

“Why should we? You can search for someone else.”

“Troubled dissidents are much more promising than convenient speakers. Because I can tell when you will betray, compared to those who are calm with me but stab from behind.”

“Looks like you've been betrayed,” by Reve.

Aza Ergo smiled. “So, how?”

They both remained silent for a moment. Until finally one began to let go of his grievances. “But I came here to be strong and looking for blue crystal.”

“Just relax, the more you face danger, the stronger you will be. I'll help you with that crystal problem. It can even provide hiding and safe passage back to the human world. How?” Aza Ergo is still trying to convince Riz.

“I keep rejecting it,” firmly Reve.

Aza Ergo's originally friendly expression suddenly darkened. “Why?”

“You insist on recruiting those who seem profitable. I can't, I also have business.”

Aza Ergo was getting annoyed with the young man. Then look at Horusca.

“That doesn't sound like a bad idea. But I also have a purpose. And I'm not sure it would be nice to work with you.”

“Mention. I want to hear it" pinta Aza Ergo.

“Nation dragon.”

“Hah? What are you talking about?” Aza Ergo tilted her face.

“I want to meet the dragon nation.”

“That ghostly nation will you find where? Anyway why do you want to see him?”

“Then why do you want amaryllis blood? Our answer is no different,” kilah Horusca.

Aza Ergo thought for a moment before giving an answer. What Horusca said is true. They have their own goals and answers. That's the only equation.

However, he still could not let go of Horusca because the young man was a much-needed elftraz (healer). But, Horusca's goal was completely beyond shadows. No one knows where the dragons are.   

 It's really a cooperation that will be troublesome later. “Good. If you help me, I will also help you search for the existence of the dragon nation. How?”

Horusca still has not approved it. He glanced at Reve. “What do you see? My answer is still the same.”

Aza Ergo was getting upset because the young man with the ability to attract eyes refused his cooperation. “Mention.”

Reve looked in surprise at the higher-ups. “What?”

“Speak your destination. Maybe we can help each other.”

“No! We can't and never will. I came back first,” Reve turned around about to leave that room.

“Reve, can I know what your purpose in this world is?” riz's question stopped Reve's move.

“Better you don't know. If you still want to live quietly in this world,” Reve then leave that room.

Moments later, the three men returned to Reve's room where the others were waiting. “Riz,” greet Toz. Riz nodded at Toz then approached him.

“Toz, I have something to talk to you about,” take Riz to him.

Toz fell silent, then looked around before agreeing. “Alright, come,” nod. They went to the room Horusca had ordered. “What's Riz?” ask Toz.

“Toz, I think ... I'll go follow the bigwigs.”

“Hah?! Whatchu mean? You want to be detained?!”

“Not, not that. I'll work with him.”

“Cooperate?” Toz still doesn't understand.

“Yes, I'll go find amaryllis blood with him.”

“Blood amaryllis? Whose blood is it?”

“I don't know. The official said, if we want to help him, he will also help us. Whether it's finding a safe hiding place, a path to the human world or the blue crystal we desperately need. How's Toz? Would you like to come with me? Together is much better. We are now fugitives, after all.”

Toz. “It doesn't seem like a bad idea. I didn't think Reve would approve.”

“Reve?”

“Yes. Didn't Reve agree to it too?”

Riz put on a confused face. “From who do you know? Reve rejected that cooperation.”

“What! Why?!”

“She said, she had another purpose so chose to reject it.”

“That means Reve won't go with us?”

“No Toz,” Bright Riz. Toz's face instantly changed hearing him. “You're worried about him?”

“Ya.”

“But, he won't cooperate anyway. Even if we can help each other, he still won't say what he wants.”

Toz. Long enough he was like that, making Riz anxious and curious about what he was thinking. “If you want him to come with us, try persuading him. I also wish he would go with.”

Toz didn't answer anything. Until they finally returned to Reve's room where some people were discussing.

“Don't be crazy! We have already failed to get our goal, and now want to do the forbidden thing?! I still haven't calmed down to think old Criber is going to beat me up!” grumbled Doxia suddenly.

“What's up?” ask Riz who doesn't know the problem.

“I-it, they are arguing about the punishment of lord Crister,” is obviously a slave who is also there.

“Why are you so scared of Mr Criber?”

Doxia cheered at Aza Ergo's question. “Of course I'm scared. The old man doesn't care about students or opponents. I used to run away because I tricked him, and now want to try to trick him again?! I'm really sorry to come here. It's all your fault fool!” point Doxia at Rexcel.

“But the teacher doesn't look like he cares about us. I don't think there's gonna be any trouble. We just need to steal it again and get out of here.”

“Did you forget that we ran away with these fugitives?! You want to die young?!”

“You used to produce? Now let's try. We're definitely not going to get caught,” persistent Rexcel persuaded him.

“If failed how? You brought me here to be a mash? I don't want to!” doxia.

“I don't understand what they're talking about,” timpal Toz suddenly.

“I also,” Riz agreed.

While Reve, the young man looked busy falling down with his snake. Toz looked towards him, making the young man aware of the disturbing gaze. Toz smiled, but was ignored by Reve.

“Are we also going to take him?” cut Horusca out of the blue.

“Hah?! What do you mean?!” scream Doxia.

“I think it would be more profitable to invite him than the two of them,” point Horusca at Reve.

“You're right, the ability of assandia (fighter) the scale is good to sweep the enemy in large numbers,” Aza Ergo glances at the indifferent Reve. “Are you really not interested? Whereas if working together, all goals will be achieved.”

Reve returned his gaze. “My goal would be unlucky if working with you guys,” reply Reve got up from his sleep.

Hearing that sentence, Toz's heart was slightly hurt. He couldn't take his eyes off, because after all, only he knew Reve's true purpose. “I'm sorry Riz. But I thought, I'm going to join Reve.”

Riz gasped in surprise, he did not expect his friend would say that. “Why? Aren't we going together?! We both entered this world. We are friends, we have also just met, wouldn't we better go together?!”

“Really said. Why are you even coming with me? I don't like carrying loads on my back.”

“Reve!” snapped Riz.

“I'm sorry. But my decision has been unanimous,” insisted Toz. “Even if I am only a burden and have no strength, I will still follow you. I'm sorry Riz,” Toz said. The expression on her face really felt guilty, for having to choose to part from Riz.

“Toz ..” Riz was shocked to hear that. Then glanced towards Reve who had nothing to express.

“This peace makes me crowded,” said Reve suddenly left them.

Meanwhile, Rexcel and Doxia were still arguing with their problems while occasionally nagging at Horusca who had already compared the two to Reve.

“I have a business, later we meet again,” interrupted Aza Ergo leaving the room. The long hallway glowed dimly, reflecting shadows to accompany Aza Ergo's steps. The footing was silent, but the coldness of the air was quite piercing the skin and meant nothing to the magma-controlling male like him.

“What's that hard working with me?” ask Aza Ergo suddenly. His steps reached a balcony filled with vines where Reve was.

The view of the lake loosened up behind the inn, reflecting the moonlight in silence. Silence, that was the scene before Reve's eyes.

“Because my destination would be unlucky if working with you.”

“Really? Then mention it, I wonder how much misfortune I can give for it,” challenge Aza Ergo.

“I thank you for not complaining to the higher-ups. No more than that.”

“Is it so hard to tell me your purpose? Looks like, Logan's words about you being suspicious are indeed true.”

“Logan?” Reve glanced at the man through the corner of his eye.

“Yes, he told me that you met at the Barca store. So, what are you looking for in that glassmaker's place?”

“What is his nickname?”

“That's the title, even though he's a junk seller,” ledek Aza Ergo. Reve did not respond, making the interlocutor continue his sentence. “And I am very interested in your abilities. Too bad I can't recruit you.”

“Blood of amaryllis, it looks like it won't be easy.”

Slowly, Aza Ergo widened her smile. “Tak easy according to the price. That's why I need people who can guarantee my success.”

“Then what can you offer for their success?”

“I know return. Even if it was just a rotten apple, I would still pay it.”

“Sounds good,” cela Reve. He stroked the neck of Near the serpent.

“Teleportation, it's a magic beast. Are you from this world? But you're human.”

Reve smiled faintly without looking at him. The glare that led to the slowly surging lake water also implied a mysterious gaze.

“You are really dangerous,” said Aza Ergo suddenly.

Reve glanced at him, “why is that?”

“That eye, eyes full of mystery. I can tell just by looking at it. You, who are you exactly?”

Hearing that, Reve laughed softly. “This is not the first time I've heard of it. My name is Reve Nel Keres.”

Aza Ergo threw a glance at the lake. “Do you know the myth of the night god?”

That question, just made Reve's face flat. Aza Ergo again continued his sentence, “In ancient language, the god always sleeps anywhere. However, there is one thing that makes him always remembered,” Aza Ergo turned to him. “A snake, who always accompany her anywhere.”
