MERCIA
7. That's Not a Dream.
"Master.." said a man with a scar on his face.
"Why did you come back?" Lord Gorran asked Logos.
Logos doesn't answer he's just staring around.
"Leave us" Lord Gorran ordered the guards.
immediately the ten bodyguards in the large room saluted and left.
"say" said Lord Gorran.
"The crystal has found its owner" Logos said.
"WHAT" Lord Gorran flinched then struck the table in front of him, the table was shattered.
Logos bent.
"Are you sure?" asked Lord Gorran to make sure.
Logos took out the gold-plated fragments he found inside the cave and handed them to Lord Gorran.
Lord Gorran took the splinter to see it and squeezed it into dust.
"Did the boy know?" ask Lord Gorran.
"No, he didn't fight when he was arrested" Logos replied.
"Kill the kid"
"I waited decades for the crystal, and now it just disappears" anger made veins all over the body pop out.
"Wait for Master, there's still one more way to get that power, but the risk is huge" the hooded man had been silent since then.
"Tell me" Lord Gorran replied to the hooded man who turned out to be Mordo.
"sucking out the core of the child's aura, but to get it the child must be able to control it" Mordo explained.
Lord Gorran was silent for a moment.
"you mean we should let that kid grow up to be strong?" ask Lord Gorran.
"True Master, that's why it's too risky" Mordo replied.
"He came from this weak world, it took a long time for that."
"The crystal master has healing powers" said Mordo.
"i know that, what do you mean?" ask Lord Gorran.
"Didn't Master have soul-eater poison" Mordo said.
"Hahaha, you're really smart Mordo!"
"I understand, I have a plan" said Lord Gorran.
"What about the Oracle and the golden spear woman?" ask Logos
"what do you mean" asked Mordo.
"When in the forest the woman must have known the boy was carrying the crystal, but he didn't take it. nor did he pursue the Oracle who saved the boy.he must have been planning something" Logos said.
Lord Gorran and Mordo tried to weigh the words of the Logos.
"It's not like he wanted the crystal, nor did he protect the child, it looks like he was waiting for something" Logos said.
Lord Gorran held his chin thinking of something.
"ASSHOLE! I knew the plan was to kill the boy this time when I found out the crystal had chosen him."
"Hurry back to protect the child and kill the woman!" lord Gorran said to Logos.
"Good master" Logos saluted and left.

"What are you here for?" ask Julia coldly.
Julia doesn't think she met Aira in the living room of her house.
"Is that how you welcome a friend?" Aira replied to Julia's cold attitude.
"You're not my friend, I don't know you?" Julia still maintained her cold attitude.
"Hahaha.., are you jealous of me because I know August?" Aira won't lose.
"Look..! I don't care who she sleeps with or who she loves!" added again.
Julia's anger began to stir in her chest hearing Aira's words.
"Say what do you want?! and get out of here!" said Julia held back the anger.
"Do you have anything August ever gave you?" ask Aira.
Julia was surprised she remembered the music box in her mind.
"what are you asking that for? it's none of your business!" said Julia who wanted to tear Aira's mouth off.
Aira approached Julia until their faces met.
"because that's the last clue to find him!" said Aira.
Julia was surprised, she tried to guess what Aira meant.
Police and detectives were unable to find August, but now Aira came to see him as if saying I could find him.
"You're just a transfer student, not even the police can find her" Julia said.
"What if I can find him?" challenge Aira.
Julia fell silent.
If Aira is right August can be saved, but if Aira just toying with him then he not only lost August but all the precious memories that are left and stored in the music box.
"Well if you don't have one" Aira stepped out.
"wait"
Aira stopped her steps.
"i have one"
"how did you find him?" ask Julia.
"that's my business" replied Aira.
"if so I'll come with you!" said Julia.
"No" Aira refused.
Julia was furious at Aira's rejection, but she had no choice.she handed the music box to Aira.
Aira accepted it and left Julia. Her steps stopped again.she looked at Julia and said.
"If your attitude is still like this, no matter how much your love sooner or later you will lose it."
after that Aira left with Julia staring at her back.
Aira's words slapped her.Since August's disappearance she was just crying, feeling sorry for herself.she forgot out there August was hoping someone would come to her aid. when everything is in a stalemate people who hate it just do not give up looking for a way to save August.
Aira returned to her home with a music box in her hand, when she was greeted by her uncle and an unknown person was behind her.
"Whose uncle is he?" ask Aira.
"her name is Gerda she'll help us" said Aira's uncle.
Gerda who was named bowed to Aira.
"Miss Aira can we start now?" ask Gerda.
"Of course" Aira replied and handed over the music box to Gerda.
Meanwhile, in an unnamed place there is an unused five-story building.around the building there are also many other buildings large and small but all uninhabited. but only the five-story building that has a lot of guards on each floor.
on the fifth floor of the building was seen a man with hands and feet tied lying on the floor, his clothes were many tears and drops of blood.
He's been in this place for a week. August doesn't know why these people arrested him.
They didn't let him live and they didn't let him die either. They never asked, instead if August asked them to torture him.
"he's in the seat untie him" ordered a man playing with his penknife.
two men hurried to lift August up and put him in a chair.
The man approached August and slapped August's right and left cheeks to resuscitate him.
August struggled to raise his face to look at the man.
"Bos wants you to stay alive, eat" the man said.
throw a loaf of bread and a bottle of water.
Cheek..! August spat in the man's face.
The man felt humiliated as the knife in his left hand he plugged into August's right thigh. August screamed in pain as soon as the man's right hand punched August in the left face
Aaaaaa..! BUGS.
August who was already weak was thrown from the chair.not to that knife that had been stuck it he stepped on and shook it like a movement of people turning off cigarette butts.
August yells the man back to punch him in the face again.The man takes his knife clean it in August's shirt.
The pain that August felt was no longer able to make him scream, but suddenly a scream was heard from the roof of the building and echoed through walkie talkies on every floor.
"THERE'S AN INTRUDER..!"
All the guards prepared to point the AK-47 towards the gate.
Seen from a distance a woman walked up to the building, her body covered in thin blue metal, her mouth and nose covered in a mask. between her forehead tucked in a blue tiara. in his right hand was grasping a golden-colored spear.
"GUNSHOT..!" I heard the command from the walkie.
Dor.. Dor.. Dor. the sound of endless gunfire.
the woman stopped her steps.bullets started raining down on her body.she simply raised her left hand protecting her face without protection.
sparks were seen when the bullets hit his protective suit.
He saw several guards in the yard throwing grenades at him and he jumped back before the grenade exploded.
DUAARR..!
black smoke and dust began to fly.The guards stopped firing.waiting.
Suddenly from the puff of black smoke appeared the woman again with hundreds of small spears surrounding her body. he moved his left and right hands towards where the guards were, the little spear flew there.
The guards who were in the courtyard all died horribly.The woman entered the first floor.dozens of guards there also experienced something similar. The screams of death echoed throughout the building floor.
The woman arrived on the fifth floor, the remaining guards were trembling in fear.The ones they fought today were demonic women.They were finally killed. the woman walked closer to August.
Only August remained, he looked at the woman in disbelief.
He began to recall the events in the Royan forest. Men in armour, men in black, crystal, cave women and of course women in golden spear.
So it wasn't a dream, it was real August thought.
the pieces sprung up on his head, he remembered the cave woman saying he would meet again with the woman with the golden spear and might kill her.
"we meet again" said the woman coldly.
"you.you're gonna kill me?" ask August.
"yes" answered the woman.
somehow the fear disappeared from August. for seven days in the cup he only saw death would come to see him.he had resigned to accept it even before meeting the woman again.
"do it" he said with a smile.
The woman was surprised.
"you don't want to know why I killed you" the woman asked again.
"isn't there no point in me knowing or not" August replied.
he closed his eyes when he saw the woman lift her spear and threw it into August's chest.
But suddenly the spear stopped moving when the distance of the spear with his chest was only a few centimeters.
August opened his eyes, he saw a golden chain wrapped around the woman's hand and then a woman's voice sounded
"Don't kill him."
