Chirp chirp chirp!
"Uhhhhh, what the hell?"
A grumpy young yet mature masculine voice groaned in exhaustion.
"Shit... what time is it?"
The voice mummured with a dreaded tone.
Shhhft!
Creeeeek!
"A-ah damn it, its morning already... but... I just got back."
The sounds of a heavy cloth being thrown away and a loud slow creaking sound echoed through the dreary dump looking cell that had a double decker bed painted in grey that possessed two mattresses.
The upper mattress was neatly covered in a white bed sheet and grey old blanket that glimmered effortlessly in the basket of the sunlight.
And the lower decker mattress well...
"Uhhhh, what the f*** what the f*** WHAT THE F*****?!"
It was being sat by a grumpy tired looking Kian whose eyes were enveloped in dark circles as if he had been working all night and speaking of his bed...
"Uh Kian!"
"Kian?!"
"Kian you up?"
His bed was a mess the bed sheet was what seemed to mixture of brown, black and white colors. His blanket was torn, so much so that it looked like it had been used more in struggle for food at the cafeteria than for actual sleep.
His bed was cast out the shadows due the height of the bed and so while Elianor's bed looked that of a normal person's that was warmly greeted by the sunlight. Kian's bed was a complete muster of a mess that coldly engulfed in the darkness of the wall that the decker bed was against.
Though this didn't bother him at all no, what bothered him was...
"Jesus Christ, gimme a break over here."
"..."
The voices of those who called out to him and so he responded, but no one called back as a dreaded silence then hit the air.
"Fewww, I think im dreaming so ill just go back to sleep."
Ftttf!
Rustle, rustle!
"Haawwwwwh! Man what could've happened to me to make me so tired like this in such a productive day?"
Kian thought after yawning in exhaustion as he settled himself in the bed to get ready to sleep.
"Man whatever it was it f*** in splendid at that. And besides....", Kian added in in thought as a slight curve tugged itself at the corners of his lips.
'Hmmm, your explanation seems detailed enough kid' , this followed by a series of flashbacks fro his conversation with Amaris that seemingly didnt end when expected to flickered in his mind as he closed his eyes slowly.
'Well then...., since a deal's a deal I'll tell you about the finishing touches I made to these cardinaes.' Amaris said as she summoned the orb from earlier in her right palm.
'How do I know that the 'finishing touches' you made aren't just bug fixes or...' Mason exclaimed as he is seen looking at the orb then back at Amarus who looked at him with a smile weaved across her face as she then put her index finger on his lips as she pulled it away slightly and wagged her finger silencing him as he mused expression soon twisted to a more stern and attentive look.
Amaris saw this and she was proud not because he was listening to her no, it was because he was willing to hear her out word for word.
This was good in Kian's case doing this was because he simply couldn't leave hear without knowing the gist of his new found abilities and having double the abilities?
This would be a very good thing for him in fact if he went back with the clear knowledge of both his cardinaes he could potentially grow them both at once and even putting him at the peak of the mountain where the power he needed to carry on his plans lay.
'It's a good thing that you're more of the sensible type than humble.' Amaris exclaimed as she began to slowly walk in circles around Mason.
'...'
Mason didn't respond he sted fixed his gaze a bit more on the girl, woman, or whatever she was so that he couldn't drag this conversation any longer.
Amaris also noticed this and at first she paused right in front of Mason as she then looked up at him with calm, but furious look her face.
She expected to get a flinch, a stepback, a twich in his eyebrows maybe all in hope of him remembering that she was in control of the situation, but... he did not waver no he instead looked down at her and then orb in swift notion as if signaling her to get on with her presentation on his new found powers
This scared her a little which caused her bite her lip in frustration, but not enough to chew through it and cause her to bleed.
'Huh....., you're alone and lot to handle for a puny little human, but I guess I should get straight to the point and start my explanations.'
Shhhft!
Tat, tat, tat, tat, tat, tat!
She finished her statement as she then swiftly turned around and walk toards the tea table again to sit down as she then waved her hands in gesture for him to come and sit down with her.
Kian nodded in response as then walked towards the tea reliable as he then pulled the chair as he put his left behind his back and pointed his right hand downward with his palm flat open as waiting to be greeted as bowed slightly and said, 'But before we get to the gist of that... should we let our guests have a seat first?"
.....
For a moment, silence engulfed the atmosphere as Amaris look at him with her eyes that shot open in shock as she shivered a little when Mason looked back at her with a gentle smile on his face.
'Oh ho, so she was right about you.'
An unknown ominous voice lingered out as Crimson tall shadowy figure materialised right before the two.
This figure was about 8 feet tall, it possessed a bulky build that made it look almost like the hulk to Mason.
Its body was enveloped in a dark crimson musky aura that slowly danced around his body that was covered in the same substance the only noticeable difference were tiny shimmers of dimmed lights that shine on that skin and their numbers could amount to hundreds.
His whole presence spelled divinity at its peak and this creature seemed to have turned its or his gaze towards Mason.
Mason couldn't properly make put of what this figure was thinking or what it wanted because though it form was of somewhat human one thing was for sure.
If he messed up right here and right now one in three things could happen.
He could end up dead, he could be trapped here or he would end up never being able to fulfill his promise to Elianor.
He thought all this as he changed his face expression from a blunt one to a warm welcoming one that was tipped of with his humble smile as gestured for the figure to sit down.
The responded as it then walked toward the seat and sat down slowly as the chair seemingly expanded in size as it's material seemed to change as well from a soft light brown to husky dark brown color ended with fine designs on it.
'So my dear, mind explaining to me who this is?'
The figure's deep ominous and commanding voice mused towards Amaris as she then looked at him in exhaustion as she pouted her lips.
'Uhhhh fine, I'm sorry dear I wait to see what you have to say later, but be careful you remember what they said right?
'Yes... my dear, I can never forget and if I do get in trouble I'll know who to call on the double.'
She said as placed her hand on his or its and after a long and hard stare down to her wife he or it sighed and vanished into the void.
Mason then stood and hurriedly sit down as he panted heavily whilst tons of sweat dropped of from his face.
'He scared you that much?'
Amaris mused as she summoned a cold glass of lemonade once more and this time she pushed it towards him.
'Haaaaah!'
Swoop!
Gulp, gulp, gulp!
Ding!
'Hahhh, hah, hah, hah, htttt. Hahhhh!'
After a few seconds of breathing in and out heavily he finally sat upright and looked Amaris who was now sipping her own glass of lemonade.
'How much time do we have left?'
He mused.
'About thirty if we're to talk till midnight.'
Amaris responded.
'Hmmm, narrow that to 20 minutes.'
'Is there something going to happen soon?'
Amaris mused as she took another sip of her lemonade.
As he didn't respond while just looked at her with mix of concern and curiosity in his eyes.
Amaris understood this as she then put down her glass of lemonade and then snapped her fingers and the lemonade switched out for the orb which for some reason now hummed with a strange eerie sound that caught Mason's attention.
'Wasn't that orb...?'
'Hehehe... buckle up human because I'm gonna tell you about the @£#%÷×>>.'
Amaris's statement was suddenly came out as a mumble of gibberish in Mason's ears.
'What the... what is she-?'
"KIIIIIIAAAA!"
'Huh the heck is that?'
"KIIIIAAAA!"
'HUH?! U playing with me right now?'
Mason thought as loud mumbles erupted from the from no where.
'Mch, what the heck is this?'
"KIIIIIAAAANNN!"
'Huh? Did someone ju.....'
Mason's thoughts were cut off by the sudden nauseous feeling that enveloped his whole body which caused his vision to blur and the world infringement of him to swirl away.
'Man... I... I was so close back there... oh well I'll just have to go with... plan B then.'
Mason thought as his vision began to worsen as the swirls soon turned to a pitch black void and his nausea faded into a complete overwhelming weight on his entire body as he than closed his eyes and then.
....
"Kiannn!"
"Kian wake up!"
"Uhhh damn it wake up you lunatic!"
Three voices called out to the the now sleeping who was steadily regaining conscious as she then shot up from his bed.
"AAAAAAH!'
The three shouted in unison as they looked at him in terror but not so much so to be scared just surprised.
"Haaaahhh!"
"Hahhh!"
"Ahhh shit the hell is up with you freaks?"
Kian mused his as he panted heavily his eyes blood shot and wide open as he turned to look at the trio.
"Uhhh, you idiot you've been playing around for so long you don't even know what's going on do you?"
Shimmer the first to break the silence exclaimed at Lian as he then put a look of utter confusion.
"Wait what happened while I was away?"
Kian mused at Shimmer who then pointed to the pathways outside of his cell.
He then looked at them all confused and in curiosity as he then slowly tip toed towards the railing of the pathway and then looked through the holes of the them.
And he saw two figures kneeling, it was Mora and Mateo and standing before them was a man.
He seemed to look about 6 feet tall, he had ghost white hair, he was in a navy blue lab coat, his arms folded behind his back, his mahogany brown skin glimmered under the radiation the sunlight.
Kian gave a long and hard look at the man before turning away slowly and going back to his cell.
"Ok guys y'all expect me to have a plan by now right?"
The trio nodded their heads with blunt looks of hope ob their faces.
"Well all I have to say is...."
He paused before sitting down and then looking at the trio once again as her gestured at them to sit down as he told them two things.
"One, I have a way to get us out of this situation."
"And two?" Elianor mused.
"Two.... is that we might have to do all this within a time span of 10 minutes max."
"T-ten minutes.... but why....?" Toka mused in a cold sweat.
"Because my dears, this guy just had to make a bad timing for his arrival."
