Illusions.
I already knew this was going to be harder than any orb retrieval so far. Pride was going to play rather a dangerous illusion than a game. I wasn't quite prepared for it...
"He's been awaiting," the man said, lifting his head only to reveal his eyes.
We all jumped back in shock.
It was PRIDE HIMSELF!
Those glowing purple eyes could never be mistaken for normal beings. It sent a shiver down my spine.
Before I could grab him by the collar, his illusion just started crumbling! Turned to dust.
"T-That was creepy as shit!" Akira was too shaken. Understandably. Even I couldn't recognise Pride in that form of his. But wait. If I hadn't recognised him in a form he never took...did that mean...
"Holy shit..." I cursed out loud. The orbs in me were roaring to welcome their last brother. It was loud. It was a headache. For me? Heartbreak.
I turned to my people, my voice low and slow, already drowning in possible regret.
