CONFUSION wrote on everyone’s faces except for the two brothers, who were the reason for the tension on that side of the room. Xurden couldn’t help to think about what unforgivable thing the man had done, which made Yric feel rage toward him. From what he could see, the effect of their fight was their separation and not talking to each other. He didn’t also forget the possibility that Yric already had forgiven the man. That’s why the younger boy checked the patient’s current condition.“I am really sorry, little brother,” the man said, still vowing his head. He really didn’t care if he looked pitiful in everyone’s eyes. “I hated my life before. It didn’t make me happy. I am sure you came here trying to understand why I chose this life now.”Yric stared at the man without a word and blinked his eyes. Xurden wondered what the younger boy was thinking during that time, which made Yric fall into silence. The younger boy didn’t even speak and waited for something to happen.No one dared to
THE WEATHER became so bad after a couple of hours. Dark clouds had formed in the sky. Lightning also flashed several times, blinding the eyes who stared at it. But below, in that kind of atmosphere, Xurden still sent his two assistants outside to look for clues about the cat-masked demon. He already concluded to talk to him after thinking for a while. He didn’t know why, but he had this feeling that the cat-masked demon would listen to him. The only problem was the effects he could get because he wasn’t supposed to do that. No one should know that he would talk to the demon. That’s why he asked his two assistants to ask questions about him in secrecy.While waiting in the hospital’s private room, he watched the television to kill his boredom. He didn’t like it when he had nothing to do. That’s why he had a lot of books. He filled his empty time by reading. But since he wasn’t at home, he could only rely on the machine, which he rarely did.Yric was still there in that room, but the yo
AFTER Xurden talked to the demon, he returned to the private room at the hospital. Just as he was at the door, he found out that Yric was not there. Marco was watching alone the television. His assistant laughed at the variety show which he like. He couldn’t even feel Yric’s presence, so he hurried inside. His assistant turned to him the moment he stepped into the room while hugging the white pillow.“Where’s Yric?” he asked Marco as he closed the door. It clicked the moment it touched the frame. Their eyes meet for a second before Marco shifted back his attention to the television.“He’s in the comfort room,” Marco informed him lazily. His assistant even yawned. He still glued his eyes in front. “Now that you’ve mentioned him. He hasn’t come out.”Hearing what Marco had said, he spun to the comfort room and opened the door. His worries faded when he saw Yric sleeping while sitting in the closed bowl. He took a deep breath as he move closer to him. It didn’t surprise him to find Yric
Xurden stood by the window while waiting for everyone to arrive, watching outside. He felt like the weather gave him a sign that’s why Yric ha`1d been staring at it. But it didn’t occur to him and bluntly ignored everything. He couldn’t help but ask himself when he would understand how Yric’s mind work. As the days went by, he couldn’t recognize him more and more. Yric showed choices he didn’t know the younger boy could do, even if it would cost him his life. He no longer knew where he did wrong, so he ended up in such a situation. If only he was in the first realm, he could do everything without limits. But because they banished him to the human world, he had to endure everything, even if he was weakening.He turned to the door when he heard screeching and footsteps, along with the strength of the different energies that he felt clearly. After a while, the door opened and Yric’s older brother, Razor, went in sitting in a wheelchair. His girlfriend, Arasia, pushed him.“What just happ
CELESTRO stood in front of the human-sized mirror, checking out the body he had just gained. He even stretched the muscle in his hand to test out the bulging muscles. He was sure he was already far from the eyes of seers which the witch had warned him. That was why he wasn’t guarding his senses while he was being full of himself. If someone appeared, he would not have worries facing them. He was confident that he was back in his prime.In his mind, the body indeed satisfied him. Even though he couldn’t take that one boy’s body, the new one wasn’t that bad. He could use Yric on something else, like feeding him on monsters they were going to raise. After he looked at himself, he shifted his attention to Yric who was unconscious. He laid him on the floor even though there was a wide bed there. Yric’s head was close to the couple’s pool of blood who owned that house.When he was about to leave the room, he sensed a menacing aura coming toward him. He immediately turned to the glass walls,
NILIANDRA requested Xurden to drive her to the hospital after they went to pick up Yric. No one spoke to her during the ride. The younger boy fell asleep while his friend was still unconscious next to him. She also couldn’t talk to the driver, Sebastian, even though they were both at the front because he focused his eyes on the road. She didn’t do it also to Xurden even though her tongue was itching to speak. At that moment, he was in deep thought. He didn’t even pay attention to Yric laying his head on his shoulder.It didn’t take long for them to arrive at the hospital where Razor was waiting with his girlfriend Arasia next to the bench beside the parking area. The moment the car stopped, Yric opened up his eyes, turning his head around. When Yric realized they had arrived at the hospital, he took a breath and leaned on the seat while the window glass went down. He didn’t also forget to check his friend who made his thigh into a pillow.Razor looked through the window and met Yric’s
THE DEMON under Xurden’s feet was growling. This demon was near the brink of death after his subjugation. Searching for the demons that were on his list was the only thing he could do to make himself busy. Ever since the other day when he left Yric in his friend’s house, he couldn’t concentrate. He’s been restless again.The bathhouse where he found the demon looked abandoned at night. Chilly air circled the entire place, making his breath visible.He believed Yric’s word that he would go back to his house, but until that moment, he had heard nothing from the younger boy. Yric wouldn’t answer his calls and kept on rejecting them. He didn’t check on him again at his friend’s house. Because if he did that, it would make him a fool, waiting for someone who disregarded his worry. Even though it turned out like that, he still waited for his call after receiving a message that the younger boy would come back when his friends had gained again the confidence to go out.He stared at his phone
LOOKING closely at the demon reminded him of Yric who was not with him at that moment. He found it odd, making him more confused. He didn’t know what the exact reason was. The only thing he could think of was he shouldn’t be talking to the demon because it felt so wrong. Even after how the demon walked, all he saw was Yric. He didn’t understand why. Maybe he really missed him, even though they just hadn’t seen each other for twelve hours.The demon stopped walking when he caught sight of the twenty-four-hour store across the street. The light inside the store was bright that reached the road. He turned to him after taking a better look at the shop.“Let’s go there. I want to buy something. I used to hang out there a lot when I was young,” the demon said to him, even though Xurden didn’t ask. He even pointed his pale finger.Even his speech reminded him of Yric.He didn’t intend to go with the demon, so he didn’t answer. He just passed him as he resumed walking. But the demon didn’t st
