79 The New Destination. (2/2)
Raven looked strangely at Ozul's back since after he had obtained his leg back, he seemed to be a different person!
Don't get her wrong, He was still as indifferent as ever, but a bit more... engaging?
'He's changed...'- Raven thought while looking at the broad shoulders that seemed lonely even when someone walked beside him.
Before, Ozul would find it a bother just to speak, but now, he had the time for playing with others! It spoke volumes of how much Ozul had changed.
”I did not change, Raven. I just freed a part of me that was never really there.”
As if sensing all her emotions, Ozul suddenly said, which startled and confused Raven at the same time.
She was startled since he always seemed to sense the changes in her emotions. In contrast, she was confused at his explanation.
'Well, most of his explanations never make sense anyway.'- Thinking as such, Raven did not mind his confusing words and focused on other things. Though before she could say anything, Blaze beat her to it.
”What are the plans for the future? Back to being Mercenaries again?”
”Well, the future is running behind us right now. Let it come to us; no need to chase it.”
Blaze was about to ask what he meant by running behind them, but before he could say anything, a voice sounded out;
”Wait!”
When Raven and Blaze looked back, Irene was running towards them with a letter in her hands. When they looked closely at the letter, there was a stamp of Mercenary Guild's emblem on it!
Irene quickly caught up to them, and after giving the letter in Blaze's hands, she ran off again.
But before running off, she shouted;
”I will get my revenge! Just you wait, you scumbags!”
The trio, of course, did not care about that childish threat and kept their focus on the letter.
”Read it.”
Blaze opened the letter to look at the contents and replied;
”It says that the Headquarters in the Capital has summoned us there. There is no reason explained either. It also says that our license as the Mercenaries would be revoked if we did not report there.”
”Hm? Well, our new destination is the Capital then...”
Ozul said while gazing at the night sky that had clouds slowly forming. Others may not notice it, but he saw better at night than in the day.
Even though the clouds concealed those annoying twinkles, he couldn't peer at the void either! So Ozul had conflicted thoughts about a cloudy day.
