Confusion strangled me.ILO?ILO?!An ancient trio appearing right after a blood moon.What a coincidence.And one of the signs are already happening meaning I won't be seeing Isura for a while.Maku and Kimiko stood there puzzled.
"I need to take a step outside."Maku swung the door open and walked out into the abyss of greenery.Kimiko took a closer look at the pages for a second then closed it.
Ancient trio.That was all I could think about. It's not a coincidence that the signs are starting right after the blood moon event.Someone is setting us up and I'm going to figure out who it is.
I wanted to bang my head against the window but I didn't,obviously I wouldn't want a massive concussion during all this stress.
Serpents disappearing as I mentioned before meant no Isura for a while.That sign was out of the way.
2 more left.
Who knows how much time there was before the other ones came?We had to act fast.After the destruction of the bloodmoon,areas needed to be rebuilt.
But the Emperor was sick.Emperor…AIZAKKU!Stress spreaded through me.I had to check up on him.I peered outside to see Maku standing with his arms crossed.
"You need something?"
"Yeah.I just realised something important.."He walked closer to me.I frowned.Looking at Kimiko,she looked like an innocent child putting puzzle pieces together while looking at the ancient book.
"This country will fall apart without the assistance of an Emperor."
"You're right.."
"We need to do something before this whole economy collapses.MAKU THIS IS SERIOUS!2 SIGNS OF THE ILO LEFT.AIZAKKU NOT WELL-"
"I KNOW!Believe me I know.Just give me some time to process it.."
The wind's speed levels decreased as soon as I blinked.
"Sorry Maku..I didn't want to alarm you."He sighed.I walked back into the palace to see what Kimiko was doing.
"You alright?"I said in a comforting tone.
"I would use time manipulation but I can't due to my limits.."
I hugged her tightly instantly. It was a reaction from my body I guess to reduce her stress and my stress.She looked up at me and began to sob.Her soul was meant to be untouched by evil and suffering.I felt guilt and sorrow weigh down my heart with threads for a moment. We stepped outside to catch some air and sat down on the stairs outside.
WOOSH.
WOOSH.
WOOSH.
Maku probably calmed down by now considering there's more wind.
"You think we should check up on Aizakku again?"
"We only got back half an hour ago Irai.I think I'll stay here."
"Fair enough."I looked up and saw a crow in the sky drop something.The sun was blocking most of my view so I couldn't see it anyways.I locked eyes with the crow. It's purple eyes glowed at me before looking away and flying off.A piece of paper was in my lap now.I picked it up and opened it.
"Dear Genshi,
It has come to my attention that there is something severely wrong with Emperor Aizakku. In fact there are crowds around the hospital as you are reading this. It's urgent.Gather all the Genshi around and travel to a nearby graveyard near the hospital.
From:Unidentified Identity"
My heart skipped a beat. It was as if a rock was thrown at it.
"You heard…read it.Gather everyone!!"Kimiko exclaimed.I got up ran inside.
"MAKU GATHER EVERYONE ROUND."
"Why?"
"It's urgent please."
"Alright then.."He rang the emergency bell and all the Genshi upstairs came rushing down.Crowds murmured and word spread.
We all got on our horses outside and travelled towards the hospital.When we got there,I got off Maku's horse cooper
(Because Jasper ran off)and barged into the hospital doors.
"HEY YOU CANT JUST-"I pushed people out of my way until someone in a crow costume stopped me.
"Kraven.."They looked so similar but…
"NO IM NOT KRAVEN!"
The person took off the mask and it turned out to be Chief Lenny.
"Oh it's you.Wait why are you and others wearing plague doctor outfits?"
"Irai get outside RIGHT NOW."
"Ok I'm moving!"He shoved me outside and before closing the door he said this,
"Aizakku's dead.His virus is spreading throughout the whole building."Lenny slowly turned around and walked off.
Just like that,everything changed..
The Emperor was dead. MY UNCLE!
