MERCIA
27. The Secret of the Blue Lake.
August walked towards the edge of the lake, he was very sure there was something under the lake, but Aruna felt nothing.
"are you sure? I don't feel anything" said Aruna.
"i don't know what it is, it seems to have two layers of energy" August said.
August dipped his hand into the lake and raised it again.
"strange" murmured August.
"what's wrong?" ask Aruna curiously.
"The top layer of the thing sucks up my energy, and then turns it into a kind of shield, the second layer protects the thing" August said.
"wait for you to say suck your energy?" ask Aruna.
"he was. but only when I was expending my energy" August said.
"Lyra once said when she arrived in this world her strength was like something was sucked, I and Aira felt it" Aruna said.
"did your portal appear in the middle of this lake?" ask August.
"no, the portal popped up in Buckland" Aruna said.
"it's very impossible, something inside this lake is only able to suck energy with a radius of a few kilometers, while the city of Buckland is tens of kilometers from this lake" said August.
August and Aruna looked at each other.
"unless there's something in Buckland" they said.
"Hey Aruna, where's your golden spear from?" ask August.
"Light." answered Aruna.
"Can I borrow it?" pinta August's.
Aruna held out his right palm.he soon appeared a golden spear.he handed it to August.
August then stuck the spear on the edge of the lake.from the tip of the spear that stuck it out the energy winding towards the area in the middle of the lake. August took off his clothes, shoes and pants.
"what do you want to do" asked Aruna, her face slightly reddened.
"don't think of anything" August replied, diving down into the flow of energy coming out of the spear.
I thought about what Aruna muttered in her heart.
Almost ten minutes August did not appear on the surface, if Aruna was an earth man he would have been very anxious, he was still patiently waiting, he knew August's strength was very large, he knew, what is shown in the temple is only a small part, the real power must be very frightening.
Suddenly in the middle of the lake saw light, the water churned. August appears on the surface, screaming.
"Aruna pulled out her spear"
without asking much Aruna pulled out his spear.when he touched his spear he had bounced back two steps. while August back unseen.before how long there was a small explosion in the middle of the lake.
Blarrs..
August leapt from underwater in the middle of the lake and landed in front of Aruna on August's left arm attached to a shimmering blue triangular shield.
"i. i. it's a shield of light." Aruna.
"you know this shield?" ask August.
"my teacher once told me that the shield belonged to a woman who was able to manipulate light, many people were looking for the shield but it did not work until its existence was considered a myth" Aruna said.
August saw the lake again, something changed, the lake was black in the dark of the night.
it turned out that the secret of this bluish lake at night was the aura of this shield, August said in his heart.
"All right, let's go see Rafael now" August said.
Aruna just nodded.
At eight o'clock the night Rafael finished with his work, across August's Golden Lane and Aruna had been waiting. As soon as I saw August Rafael happy not to be a bitch.
"Bro, I can't believe I saw you again, where have you been?" ask Rafael.
"I can't tell you this time, maybe in the future" replied August.
"i understand, and I'm sure you've had a lot of questions in your mind over the past year" Rafael said.
"Let's talk over dinner, which restaurant are we going to?" ask August.
"Bro.we eat by the roadside near the park." replied Rafael.
"Hey we are brothers, even though I am poor I can still treat you in a better place" said August.
"No, that's not what I mean, right now almost every building in this town has eyes and ears" Rafael said.
"let's go to the park" said August.
after ordering a few pieces of kebabs and drinks. Aruna decided to give privacy to both of them.
"i'll walk around for a while" said Aruna.
"What's Jacky behind all this?" ask August.
"really"
"Jacky is the brain, Bryan the executor."
"After they get you off campus, they want to kill you, but you disappear, they're frustrated looking for you as an outlet they're after the people closest to you."
"They killed both of your parents as if it was an accident and then did something bad to Nora." Rafael shed tears.
"what happened to Nora?" ask August.
"Bryan and his men did..." Rafael could not continue his words.
"It makes Nora mentally destroyed now she is in a mental hospital.
Hearing that August's hands clenched firmly, anger was visible in his eyes.
"Even when your boss Borris was hit, his business was destroyed, his wife and son abandoned him, he ended his life by hanging his neck" Rafael said.
"What about Julia?" ask August.
Rafael did not answer.
"Please tell me. What happened to her?" ask August.
"I was at his house to remind him to leave immediately, but it was too late for Bryan and his men to arrive."
"What they've done to Nora they want to repeat it back to Julia."
"ASSHOOK!" August could not contain his anger.
"His father was killed to protect him, I knelt before Bryan to let Julia and her mother go, in exchange for me giving up all my family assets" Rafael said.
"Bryan took it, he took all the Lockhart family's assets."
"Julia and her mother left this town. Ever since the tragedy her mother fell ill, three months ago she came to me to tell me that her mother had died.I don't know where she is now, I don't know where she is, but he asked me to give you a message" said Rafael.
"What message?" ask August.
Raphael took something from his pocket and handed it to August.
"may you be happy" said Rafael.
August receives the music box, his heart hurts.
"i'm guilty of all these events, you can believe it or not that I didn't run" August said.
"Bro.I know you so well, something must have happened to you that made you disappear!" rafael
"i want to ask you one more thing" August said.
"are you from proxima?" ask August.
Rafael surprised.
"mom.mom, I'm from this world" replied Rafael nervously.
"calm down." You don't have to be nervous.
"So you know that Aruna is.."
"yes I know, so does Aira." August cut.
"Well.. Aira too?" Rafael doesn't believe it.
"i'd like to offer you two choices" August said.
"say" said Rafael.
"do you want your entire family assets back or do you want to accompany me to see proxima? August says.
"so the reason you disappeared.."
"Well I'll follow you" replied Rafael excitedly.
"now come home tomorrow you don't have to work anymore I want you to watch over the Longstaff family, blood must be paid for with blood."
"Ok bro." said Rafael.
Rafael stops a taxi, on his way to the house, he thinks that August has changed, his gaze is terrible, why he feels August looks so strong. What is your relationship with proxima? Raphael in his heart.
