MERCIA
26. Lake Edge Gazebo.

The ruined temple is now being repaired.August, Aira, Aruna, Lady Lyra and Hedya are now in the hall.

"i want to go back to Royan" August said.

Aira and Aruna looked worried.

"August before you go there's something we want to tell you" Lyra said sighing.

"what's wrong?" ask August.

reposeful.

"had something happened?" ask August.

"what do you remember last time?" ask Lyra.

"i got out of college, I.. Julia misunderstood me." looked a look of sadness on August's face.

"i have to explain to my parents, as well as Julia."

"August is a lot of things that have happened when you were unconscious" Lyra said.

"what do you mean?" ask August.

"have you been able to control your power?" ask Lyra.

"what exactly are you trying to cover up?" ask August suspiciously.

"August you've been unconscious for a year" Lyra said.

"what?" August was shocked to not believe it.

"that's impossible"

"about your parents, they're dead" Lyra said.

August was shocked to hear it.

"no. I don't believe it.."

"Let me get out of here, open that portal!" August with emotions on his chest.

Lyra reluctantly opens the portal when August's open portal goes straight into it. Aruna follows behind her as Aira wants to catch up with Lyra holding her back.

"Don't you stay here, let Aruna take care of her, August needs time."

Aira also undoes her intentions to follow.

Buckland city.

a portal opens, August and Aruna exit the portal.

"Wait a minute, I'll take the car" Aruna said.

soon a red sedan appears in front of August.

"come in" pinta Aruna.

"why did you park a car in this town?" ask August

"this city is full of memories" Aruna said.

"isn't this where I'm in a firebrush and you came to kill me? you call that a memory." said August.

"right" answered Aruna.

August shook his head.

"Why do you want to kill me? why not in the woods? ask August.

"I was given the task by my father to escort the messenger, but I was late, I looked for traces of the crystal that turned out to be on you, I wanted to kill you, but it turns out that you are from this world, but you are from this world, I don't think there's any way you can kill him, the messenger must have asked you to hand it over to the Oracle. That's one reason not to kill you."

"how was our second meeting?" ask August.

"i know the crystal has chosen you but you don't realize it, I don't want the power in your body, taken by Gorran or anything else, the poison he gave you was his way of gaining your power, yet he failed you finally mastered that power perfectly."

"August forgive me for not being able to save your parents, when unconscious, I have to take you to the land of murcia without using the portal or they know where you are there. I asked my sister to avoid pursuing Gorran's accomplice" Aruna said.

"your sister?" ask August.

"It's Arumi" said Aruna.

"what about Rafael is he really your cousin from proxima?" ask August.

"no, he just continued his parents' work as an informant, you don't have to doubt that he's very sincere with you he's your best friend" Aruna replied.

"i would die for you" replied Aruna flatly.

August glanced at Aruna, he was surprised by his words.The person who used to want to kill him is now willing to die for him.he also fought to protect me from the pursuit of Gorran. August now knows the other side of Aruna is amazing.

"Let me replace you drive I've had a break for a year" August said.

Aruna smiled. "All right"

Aruna pulled over her car and swapped positions.

"Where's Rafael?" ask August.

"do you remember our third meeting?" Aruna asked back.

"park then to golden lane" replied August.

"he now works at the place as a waiter, Aira has contacted him that you will come" Aruna said.

"Well, I'll see him when I get home" August said.

"about your house.."

"no need to say now, I'm ready to accept anything, tell me later.' said August trying to cover up his grief.

two hours later August arrived in front of his house.there were no buildings there, only the remains of ruins with a lot of paint writing without meaning.but in his mind, August still saw the building standing upright, he said, inside there is an old painting with family photos on his side.he also saw his mother is making the most delicious bread rolls in the world.in front of the terrace looks like his father is scolding his old car that is always breaking down. August smiled in tears.

August returns to his car, accidentally seeing something in the back seat of the car.

"Isn't that my bag?" ask August.

Aruna looked back, "yes I forgot to tell."

August opened his bag, in it is still stored a few hundred dollars given by Gorran and his cellphone, he hastily turned on his phone.he checked dozens of phone calls, there are only the names Rafael and Mr. Borris, the text message is the same.no Julia's name.

"Aruna take this money find a place for us to spend the night, I'll go for a while to take care of something" said August then get out of the car.

"you want to look for him, don't you? I see, I'll tell you" said Aruna a little disappointed.

August did not answer. After Aruna left August stopped the taxi.he gave instructions, the driver took him away.

twenty minutes later August arrived at a magnificent house.a little nervous he then pressed the bell next to the fence of the house.before a waiter met him.

"can I help you?" ask the waiter.

"i want to see Julia." replied August.

"is he the servant who works in this house?" said waiter.

"No, he's the son of the owner of this house" August replied he was a little upset to hear Julia was considered a waiter.

"Sorry sir, there is no Julia in this house" said the maid.

"wait is the owner of this house the Lockhart family?" ask August.

"you may have misheard the owner of this house was the Longstaff family" said the maid.

August is stunned, he remembers the last time Bryan threatened him. He believes Jacky Bryan's brother is the mastermind behind all these events. August leaves the house.asa meet Julia failed.he looked to the left right, after he was sure no people and cars were passing.he used his power darted towards the blue lake. a few miles away he can travel in less than two minutes.

August just sits in a gazebo looking at the lake in silence. This is where he pours out his feelings for Julia, this is where he dances with her.

The red sedan stops near the gazebo where August is.

"Where do you know I'm here?" august asked, his eyes fixed on the lake.

"i feel your energy, your power is immense, you must learn to control your fighting power until it is undetected by the opponent" Aruna said.

"teach me" said August.

"no problem, until you can't use your power to move" Aruna said.

"alongratulations" said August.

"i had trouble booking a hotel room, I didn't have an identity card.

"all right, let's get out of here" said August.

August and Aruna left, but when August wanted to open the car door he looked back at the lake.

"what's wrong?" ask Aruna.

August did not immediately answer he closed his eyes.

"there's something on the lake"
