Chapter 444
444 A NEW REALIZATION
“Do you really think she will do it?”
“She has to do it.” Chaos took one book and then brought it to Knox, he opened a certain page and put his finger on a picture there.
“I am not sure he will be able to do that.” Knox looked at what Chaos showed to him and then frowned.
“She had done it before, she could do it again.” He was certain with what he said. He knew it was too much for him to ask her to do that, but he didn’t want anyone to do it except her. If worst came to worst, he wanted to be a little bit selfish in this lifetime.
“What is this?” Knox read that ancient language easily, though there was some word that he forgot. “The tree of life?”
The part that Chaos showed to Knox was about the tree of life, there were not many book that explained about it, because there was no significant information about it. They knew the tree was there and it was ancient and sacred, but aside from that, there was nothing that could be worth of information.
“I still don’t understand why you show me this?” Knox lifted his head to look at Chaos, as he stood next to him, while he sat down. He felt like a student, who was given pointer by their teacher right now. “There is nothing important here.”
“Look at closely,” Chaos said.
Knox was annoyed, he had read the whole book inside this library and this piece of information of the tree of life, held nothing valuable.
.....
But then, after he read it for the third time, he got what Chaos meant. “Do you think Aaron will take that route? He has this planned for such a long time?”
Knox turned his head and then looked at Chaos, his eyes filled with disbelieved with what he just read.
“If that really happened, we need to move quickly.” Knox gritted his teeth, he stared at the distance, as he processed this new realization and the more he thought about this, the more terrifying this could be. “This can’t be happening...” he muttered to himself.
Meanwhile, Chaos took the book away and then threw it to the furnace, where the fire burned the old paper immediately.
“You don’t need to destroy the book,” Knox protested, as he watched the book was gone in the red flames.
But then, something happened once the book was burned into ashes, because from the fire, there was red smoke, it swirled in the air and moved, as if there was someone controlled it.
And then, the smoke formed something...
===========================
“What happened here?” July returned to the room, where she left Zuri and Darius earlier, only to find the two of them were heavily injured.
Fortunately, most of their wounds had been healed and someone had been called to clean the mess.
Zuri and Darius had been clothed as well, they just waited for their most severed wounds and bruises to disappear before they walked out of this room, but July had found them out first.
“How dare you to attack her?!” July snapped at Darius, as she approached Zuri and checked on her wounds. “We need to get you to the healer.”
“No, no need,” Zuri refused. She stared at her wounds. “This will disappear before midnight.” The pain was almost unbearable when she shifted back to her human form. She should stay in her beast form and she would be healed faster.
But, Skylar used her power to force her to shift back into human. Damn this creature, how she could do something like that?
She heard about Skylar power, but it was almost surreal when she experienced it firsthand.
“You are not allowed to stay here, leave now before I call guards to drag you out of this place.” July threw a dagger look at Darius, she was completely pissed because he had hurt Zuri.
July didn’t like if there was someone hurt the people that she cared the most.
“No, no need. He can stay here,” Zuri intervened with her decision. She felt bad to not let July kicked Darius out, but she still needed something from him. After all, it was a fair fight between them. Darius also got pretty bad injuries.
“No,” July immediately rejected Zuri idea, she didn’t want this strange shifter to be here, especially when he had acted so outrageous and put Zuri’s life in danger. “He must leave after he injured you like this.”
However, Zuri didn’t buy it, she didn’t like it when she had to explain herself. “July, he stays. I will not argue with you about this. He stays.” The words came out so strong, as she emphasized every word that she said. Zuri also glared at her. “I thought we have something important to talk about.”
July wanted to retort the way Zuri gave her an ultimatum, but when she spoke again, she knew she couldn’t talk her down about it. After all, she didn’t want to argue over something like this before they had a real talk.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
She knew that she needed to relent for this one. “All of you, please, leave this room,” July said in stern voice, as she watched how Norbeat helped Darius to stand up and walk. “I don’t want you to be here too.”
July looked at Skylar sharply because she didn’t want this girl to listen to their conversation, she had to kick her out before she used her strange power and made both of them forgot about her existence.
“Okay.” Skylar raised both of her hands in surrender gesture and then followed Norbeat and Darius to walk out of the room.
July waited until all of them disappeared from the room and then locked the door, just to make sure that Skylar didn’t do anything funny.
“Zuri, are you sure, you don’t want to see a healer?” July grimaced when she watched her wounds, though it healed rather quickly, compared to human, but still, the injuries were disturbing and she didn’t wish anything like this happened to her.
“No,” Zuri replied. She nodded to the opposite chair. “Sit please.”
July sighed deeply, she knew this moment would come and Zuri had every right to get angry at her for what she had done, especially when she was away with Chaos to find his shattered soul, but he let go of one of his shattered souls right under their nose, despite their trust on her, despite she knew the importance of it.
“Even though you will not listen to this, but I truly sorry for what I have done, but if I can turn back time, I will do the same thing again,” July said, she was apologetic, but she was honest with her feeling, her attachment to Flo was so deep, there was no way she wanted to see anything happened to her.
On the other hand, Zuri understood why July felt that way, but she couldn’t justify her action too.
“If I ask, will you let me know?” Zuri asked her. She knew what the answer would be, but she still asked her.
“No.” There was sadness in July’s eyes when she said that. She didn’t want to let anyone knew about Flo and her parent whereabouts and endanger their life.
“In that case, there is nothing to talk about,” Zuri said, as she stood up. There would be a long conversation, only if July wanted to let her knew about Flo, but if she didn’t, there is nothing she could do.
Zuri couldn’t torture July in order to get information out of her, no matter what, they were on the same side.
Probably, Zuri could sympathize with July a little bit, because she knew how hard it was once you attached to someone, even now, she still this feeling of guilty whenever she looked at the necklace that she was wearing, though she met for the old lady for a handful time only.
Zuri decided to not throw away the necklace because she would live with that pain, as a reminder for her to straighten her mind whenever her heart got involved.
“What about you?” July said, her voice was a little bit shaking when she stopped Zuri in her track before she opened the door. “What about you Zuri? You are allowed to let go of Chaos’s shattered soul, but I am not? Just because you are his woman, he tolerated you? Your action is not justified either.”
Zuri frowned, she turned around to look at July, didn’t understand what she was talking about and this was written on her expression, which made July exasperated.
“Don’t tell me that you forget about it already.” July stood up, hurt was apparent in her eyes when she looked at Zuri sharply.
July didn’t want to blame her for this and didn’t want to bring this up, but she felt like they were ganged up against her for the same thing that Zuri did years ago.
“Your friend from your school is Chaos’s shattered soul, right? But, you let him go. You begged Chaos not to kill him.” July approached Zuri, as she looked surprised.
Zuri didn’t know where July knew about it, but she was right. She was indeed let Nikolai go at that time.
“So, why it is so wrong for me to do the same thing?” July asked her, she looked betrayed by their reaction for her decision.
