30 CHAPTER 29 (1/2)
”What is this?” Jeff asked, but that question was answered by the opining door as Pinna walked in with three Sol-X. Jeff's eyes followed the girl's hand as they handed the Sol-X to Ham. It was the hundredth time he was seeing it, but he couldn't help the thought. They use the Sol-X to stored solar energy, a reserved energy that enables them to use the lambent of vale in a sunless domain. How can a little pen-like device as the Sol-X, hold so much power? How does it feel to actually extract and glow? Jeff watched as Ham took the Sol-X and sat down on one of the chair; he placed his hands on it and closed his eyes. Nothing odd seemed to be happening, but the obvious fact was that Ham's breathing lowered as they lifted his diaphragm outward and inward.
”That is a dark army” Pinna said as she stood before the two squatting. She had a brown book and was flipping over the pages. ”It is called the damned.'' She explained ”A solder of the dark force, which appeared once in human history, when lord Tyrust and his beloved friend Donald, battled the Ageless demon.”
”How come it's here? History said Lord Tyrust destroyed every last of darkness, which led to the end of the world and birth of Anadan” Jeff asked and stood up with Matt. They paired their eyes with Pinna and watched the drawings on the book. The only different was that the creature on the book had a single wing.
”I don't know, I was discussing with Ema about the grad party” Pinna looked at Matt when she said this ”And this creature came out of nowhere and seized Ema. A single touch and Ema slumped like a heavy bag. Thank the five squares Ham came immediately he received my text.” Pinna shivered as all eyes went to Ham who stood up and stretched himself. He paid no attention to the three, but rather went straight to Ema's bed and placed his right hand on her forehead.
”Would that be enough, or should I get more Sol-X?” Pinna asked Ham who was humming silently with closed eyes. There were no blue lights or glow this time, everything appeared normal.
”No, the energy I absorbed from the other is enough.” Ham smiled but did not open his eyes. ”Maybe because am still a rookie in this field, but I haven't encounter any poison as deadly as this. Nothing I can't handle though.” Silence enveloped the room, until Ema's cough brought light on their faces.
”If this were to be the land of the dead, I would be happy that the spirits of my friends are watching over Me.” she smiled and sat up. Jeff felt his spirit lifting with joy as he sauntered towards the bed and watched the girl. She looked so fragile and beautiful as always.
”Oh shut it you mother sucking under grown little child.” Pinna said trying to fake an angry tone.
Ema laughed ”Did I hang your concern heart on the moon?”
”You sure did. Scare me like that again and I will skin your PP brain and feed it to the dust of the street” Pinna said and hugged Ema
”PP, Hmm, what's that, Precious Princess?” Ham asked bemused by the acronym.
”Never mind, Ema understands” Pinna said with a smile.
”PP is a street name for Pick-Pockets” Ema said laughing
