97 Two Directions (1/2)

”Just now, i felt a very uneasy feeling...”

Galahad says, as he and Sahaqiel are sitting in front of the Gate in the darkest night.

Sahaqiel. ”The same here.

A feeling i haven't felt in a long time...”

”Can it be....That he's back?!” Galahad asks worriedly.

Sahaqiel. ”I don't know...I doubt.

It was only for a brief moment...But it was very close from here.”

Galahad. ”Should we go check in?”

Sahaqiel. ”It may be a trap, let's guard the Gate for the time being...”

...

Later on the next morning, Alkeyder and The GrandMaster left the Luxic Paradigm Castle.

Only Heracles knew about what happened the last night, because he sensed that little time when Alkeyder burnt the demon, and asked him about it.

He's now in charge, in case anything happened or whether Oumad needed assistance.

Joshou is in a world within himself at this point.

Still training alone, silent all the time...Only swinging his sword to cut the water drops one by one.

He's still thinking deeply about what Galahad told him.

*East, Whitehome. 13h16pm”

Herald gets a call from his friend Yussein.

”Hey man! How are you?”

”Yussein! Am good brother. What about you?”

”Same here, i called to tell you that today at arround 5pm we'll be in the usual café.

Since you asked me to gather the group.”

”Oh really! Alright, count me in.

Thanks a lot!”

”Okey good. See you later!”

”See you!”

*The call ended*

'It's been a long time since i met them, I cannot alienate them from me now that I am who I am.

I won't use my powers this day, or else i won't even make it to them.'

Herald said in his mind.

Muruem wasn't home anyways, so he spent the rest of his time drawing some manga sketches.

It is sad that he always wanted to make one one day, but it seems like that far from reach now...

When it was time, he wore his clothes and got out.

As he was locking the door, a familiar voice came greeting from afar.

It was Zobach!

Herald was happy to see him.

”Hey man. Long time no see!!”

Zobach. ”Yeah definitely, when did you come back?”

Herald. ”About a week ago. We just didn't cross each other until now.”

Zobach. ”Hmm yeah, I was busy these days as well.

How was your trip?

Herald. ”It was good, thank you.

How's your family and all?

Zobach. ”Just as you left them, but with a slightly bigger economical crisis Hhahaha”

Herald laughs back. ”Don't even get started with that...”

Zobach. ”Well anyway, glad to see you again!

Let's talk later, I have somethings to tell you.”

Herald got a bit confused. ”Hmm?!...Okey.

Take care!”

'What does he mean by he has somethings to tell me...

I sure hope it's just some silly neighborhood thing.'

Herald gets going, the road towards the café isn't that long so he didn't need to use his car. Beside that he missed having a normal walk in his city.
