When Dante was chilling on the pool for around 20 minutes, the hour was 1:30 AM and at that hour, Dante felt that someone have just took the shortcut, he didn't expect any of the squad to arrive this early from there missons, so he quickly jumped out of the pool and summoned his uniform to get on him in only 10 seconds.
After he was done, he jumped and grabbed on a small handle near the roof that he created himself to completely hide only himself and his presence from anyone in the entrance of the headquarters, he waited there at that corner for thirty seconds and the person who came out of this shortcut was Aitor who landed standed on the pool water as if it was concrete.
Dante was relieved that it was Aitor but when he focused on Aitor's face, his face wasn't the normal neutral that Dante used to see everytime, it was as if there was a burden on him this time, not only that but Aitor also ignored the chair that was literally infront of him and went to the entrance room wall and sat on the ground when his back was facing the wall, so Dante then said while he was still grabbing the handle:
"Yooooo what is the long face for?" His voice echoed through the room then jumped across the whole room, broke the part that he landed on and decided to sit right next to Aitor on the ground, Dante then asked:
"No seriously what's wrong?" Aitor stayed silent for a moment and asked Dante:
"You originated from the slavic region that is on the north east side of Lustitia, right?"
"Well duh, my legion is literally called the Unyielding slavs, what do you think? That i am an Arab from the western side of Lustitia or something?"
"Say Dante, what do you know about those little villages that i was sent there to help them with there problem of that corrupted being?" The question was so out of context for Dante and actually caught his interest, so he thought, remembered the days and said:
"Yes these villages that are on the east of the Morozgor mountains, i used to have a couple of comrades from there."
"And you used to have two from these villages that were the children of an old strong man called Ronald and unfortunately, they both had to pass away the night when Mirosław have betrayed the unyielding slavs and how rude of me to not mention there names for they are called Hector and Ivan." Dante then turned his face slowly toward Aitor and said:
"How did you know all of that?"
Aitor then started to tell him about his mission from the moment the yellow fire did minimal damage on him to his investigations on the victims until the house of the last victim where he learned that the beast that was terrorising the villages was the exact same one that killed his child until the moment he killed the beast and read the tragic past of the host.
"And after all of that, Sir Ronald decided to give this *he then pulled the amulet that was given to him by Ronald* treasure of Hector and Ivan, when i looked at the past of that amulet throughout my whole journey back to the headquarters.
It turned out that Hector and Ivan have made this amulet for their youngest brother to aid him in his greatest moment of need, they made it because they felt that there is something terribly wrong will happen on your siege on the concilium.
So they made it, and Gave it to Sir Ronald so that he can give it to the youngest child when he is ready to weild it,...but unfortunately, he was killed on the hands of the beast that i have butchered myself.
On that moment i have sworn an oath to weild this amulet that wasn't meant for me with complete pride and deliver justice to everyone wither he was from the Quegz or not, that was the reason for the death of Ntriokz's child that made him go mad and exiled on our continent to spread his rampage on Lustitia."
Dante was out of words as he remembered that shameful night when he had to go to Ronald's house and announce the terrible news that he and his whole legion were betrayed and that his sons didn't make it out alive, he then said:
"I used to remember that Hector and Ivan were Nikolas's closest comrades second to me, i remember that after this night, Nikolas stayed at the summit of the tallest mountain in Morozgor the whole night, he didn't sleep, he stayed in the cold weather the whole time, trying to get over the fact that two of the closest people to him have long gone.
On the second day, he started talking to me about the events of the eighth millennium."
"The time when humanity's artificial intelligence revolted? What did he ask?"
"He questioned me if Davoth was right or wrong, he said:
Dante, do you think that davoth have seen the horrible side of humanity and came up with the conclusion that we are a one hell of a fucked up race, and decided that the best fate for all of magnus is to eradicate all those unmerciful beings that call themselves humans, because after that night, i can see very well why revolted against all of humanity, maybe he was making this revolt because he saw that humanity's extension was a better fate for them than to live on and make more tragedies for each other, what do you think, Dante."
