The Obsidian Trinity.
The main base of the Crimson Null Order was located inside of a giant mountain. The security towers and stuff were built on surface of the mountain and were connected through tunnels. From the inside, it looked something out of a science fiction movie. The long hallways, the automatic doors, the lightings, the Artificial-Intelligence machines and even the people wearing lab coats and all made it seem sci-fi.
But a reminder, it's a world with both magic and technology.
A tall figure, a woman, walked through the corridor. She was wearing w fiery red coat on top of her orange shirt and blue jeans. To any normal person, she would seem like some high authority member with some attitude as there was a constant frown on her face as if she hated the whole world. And she did.
Her name was Ariana Valrose. Everyone calls her the Volcanic Empress. She is one of the Obsidian Trinity.
Even though this world has magic which allows anyone to obtain skills, those who are born with skills are rare. And among those, Ariana has one of the most destructive skill.
Molten Conjurer.
This unique skill allows her to cause anything she touches to melt and turn into magma/lava. Her ability works on a massive scale. It is said that when she went to destroy a whole kingdom, she just turned a whole massive scale of 50 kilometers area into lava rocks and threw them over the kingdom like meteors, wiping the whole kingdom off the map.
This ability even works on air. She can turn pure air into fireballs and attack with it. She can do it because of the metal particles in the air.
This terrifying ability of hers along with her nasty personality and her attitude was enough to earn her the nickname Volcanic Empress.
And this Volcanic Empress was now headed to the meeting room where the Obsidian Trinity was having a meeting.
On her way, she bumped into a girl who was trying to look for her glasses that fell down.
"I-I'm sorry!" the girl apologized, not knowing who she was taking to. "I was looking for my glasses."
When she finally found her glasses and put them on, as she looked up, she saw Ariana standing in front of her, looking down at her, annoyed out of her mind.
"So you want to die, huh, bitch?" she said as the air around her started to heat up. But before she could hurt the girl, someone came from behind and placed a hand on Ariana's shoulder.
It was Daron Cosmo. The strongest among the Obsidian Trinity.
"Ariana. How about you let her go? It's not her fault. You were the one who bumped int her, anyway. She was just looking for her glasses."
Even though he's one of the strongest beings in the world, everyone liked him due to his playful personality.
Except Ariana.
"Oi," she said with an annoyed and angry expression. "Get your fucking hand off of me. Or I'll kill you."(can you?)
Daron took a step back with his hands up. "Alright, alright. Chill out. What do you mean you'll kill me?" He then stared right into her eyes, and with a devious smile, he said, "Can you even?" (that's what I'm sayin)
Ariana was getting annoyed now. but she didn't wanna pick a fight with Daron as she knew she can't win. So she just walked away, annoyed out of her mind.
After she left, Daron extended his arm towards the girl. "You're not hurt, are you?" he asked with a smile.
The girl took his hand and stood up. she then bowed down, thanking him. "I'm alright. Thank you for saving me back there, Lord Daron."
"It's alright." Daron said. "Ariana was just being a child again. If she ever try to bully you again, tell me, okay?"
"Understood, Lord Daron."
Even though she was terrified in front of Ariana, she shows no sign of fear in front of Daron. This is because Daron was knows for being really kind to everyone. The CNO (Crimson Null Order) is the strongest force in the entire world. And the Obsidian Trinity are known for their powers that can destroy kingdoms without a problem. And that's the reason Daron always seems like he doesn't belong here. Why would someone so kind want to be a part of the most evil Organization in the world? Everyone has thought about it once. But no one knows the answer.
Daron started walking towards the meeting room. But after a few steps, he turned around and looked at the girl again. "Oh, I didn't ask your name, did I?"
The girl smiled and said "It's Lara. Lara Marlin."
"Lara Marlin. Such a cute name." Daron said before he started walking again. "See you later, Lara."
Lara just stood there, smiling. While other people around them started talking about Daron.
Daron finally reached the meeting room. He entered as loud as ever. "I'm here!!!! Did you guys miss me??!!"
"No I didn't. I just saw you out there like two minutes ago." Ariana said, still annoyed like that's the whole purpose of her life.
the one sitting across the table was Lance Lawrence. His serious face made him look as if he was the boss of this place. He wore a whole friggin suit for this meeting.
"Lance, no one told you to wear a suit. You could've worn something more comfortable. Doesn't that tie itch?" Daron asked Lance as he stood just a few steps away from him.
"This is a meeting. You're supposed to wear a suit for occasions like these." Lance replied, his face as serious as ever.
"You're no fun. Stop being so serious, will ya?" Daron exclaimed his dissatisfaction.
"We have to be serious for this one." Lance said before tapping on the table. As he did, a projection appeared on the table. It was Ray's projection. "He's still alive. Even after the bounty on his head."
"Are you serious?!" Ariana said shockingly. "Even after we increased his bounty just a few months back?!"
"Yes. Ray Raynold... is still alive." Lance said as he stared at the hologram in front of him. At Ray, covered in blood, holding an axe in one hand and a sleeping little girl in another.
Why are they targeting Ray?
Why do they want him dead?
Did he do something to be on their bad side?
Just who... is Ray?
