Don't mock me ... I could scorch your world a million times.
The Escorts weren't expecting Caesar and his companions to suddenly start sprinting, so they sprinted themselves.
Chalybe ricocheted himself on three buildings, Izobel skillfully blitzed through a horde of speeding Automobile Chariots, and Caesar leaped into the sky and enjoyed the suspension and freedom of the great height.
They didn't slow down, and the Escorts did the same. Chalybe launched Izobel into the air as Ceaser went between the Triple Trade Tower, a combination of three blue-tinted glass skyscrapers, A major landmark in the City.
They kept running and leaping so high they saw beauty.
Rising from their place of rest were the 3 suns: Soria, the white sun, rising from the north, Esrellos, the scarlet sun, from the east, and ZuiZui, the blue sun, from the west.
The trio swerved, launched, leapt, sprinted, and dodged until Izobel forcefully stopped herself from bumping into an old lady.
Her abrupt stop created an opposing breeze, which pushed the old woman.
Oh my !!, The old woman exclaimed. Windy, already?
The short, bent, dark skinned, shrivelled old lady didn't seem to notice the 13-year-old girl who almost collided with her. As Izobel was about to apologize, a scream was heard.
Hey, you, leave that woman alone !!!
Emerging from a food shop was a tall, dark-toned young man, and he wasn't a pleasant gentleman.
The man hurriedly reached for the old lady. They looked alike, so Izobel assumed that they were related. As Izobel's breathing was racing due to the shock, Caesar and Chalybe joined her.
The man was tall, as mentioned earlier, with coffee black hair and amber eyes so fierce and sharp.
'Grandma, are you okay? The man asked. Are you hurt? Are you bleeding? Are you in pain? Are you in...'
The old woman calmly touched the young man's cheek 'Oh, Loki, you always seem to worry too much. The woman softly said, It was windy, and this young woman just appeared here.
Loki looked at Izobel with pure disdain. She is just an old lady. Do you know what would have happened if you had hit her?
Izobel's eye was getting teary.
I am deeply sorry. Izobel clapped her hands together. I was careless and wasn't aware of my surroundings. Please forgive me.
The Old woman pitied Izobel. Loki, are you bullying the young woman?
Grandma, stay out of this. Loki whispered, his eyes filled with rage. You wretched nobles think you will get away with anything. How selfish can you be ?'
A tear fell out of Izobel's eyes. The man caused a scene as people gathered around, eager to see what was unfolding.
Caesar clenched his fist as pebbles around his feet began to levitate. The tattoo under Chalybe's eye glowed blue, and his hands were surrounded by a cyan aura.
Caesar wanted to hold Izobel and get out of the area, but he knew she wouldn't appreciate it.
Izobel was a girl who never ran away from her wrongdoings and believed in discipline, but sometimes, Caesar believed that discipline could be falsely administered.
Chalybe nudged Caesar's arm and directed his gaze to a tower. The dark-robed escorts drew their swords and guns, awaiting Caesar's command. But with a stare from Caesar, the loyal escorts hid their weapons.
Izobel tried to control her emotions. What can I do to make it up? Her voice started to break. How far? Is there any desire you want?
Wow, how original. The man made an evil grin. Do you think you can bribe me? The corruption runs in the bloodline, it seems.
Izobel immediately remembered the judgment she used to get from her step sisters. Her remorse and her desire for revenge clashed.
She wanted to teach the man a lesson, hurting him so bad that he would never mess with a noble, as he was just a low-class citizen. The feeling of evil boiled in her.
The ground under Caesar's feet broke, and he could hear the subtle giggle of a woman. She said she was sorry, Caesar shouted. Or can't you...
Izobel grabbed both Caesar and Chalybe's sleeves and took a deep breath.
I don't know what life you have lived, or what pain you have gone through. And I apologize for the discomfort I have caused. Izobel wiped her tears. But my family, or the family of my companions, does not enjoy the concept of Corruption or Abuse of power. The nobles, the Royals, the Force of Shawnforth, the Scynther Cities, and the kingdom of Zion pledge to serve the people with fairness and equality. I am not supposed to know all, or be perfect, but I apologise for the pain that any corrupt noble has caused in your life.
Izobel bowed her head. I humbly beg you to forgive me.
Murmurs began to spread through the crowd, with Caesar and Chalybe calming down.
Everyone was shocked, including Izobel.
The man's demeanor suddenly changed, and his features began to soften. His temper calmed, and a slight smile appeared beside his lips.
Grandma, let's go. The man grabbed the old woman's hand and gently led her away.
What about the young woman? Is she alright? The old woman asked innocently
Yes, Grandma. The man sighed. She is alright.
As the man escorted the old woman away, Izobel called out.
What is your full name, Izobel shouted.
The man looked at Izobel briefly and looked away.
Samuel Loki, the man, scoffed and disappeared into the crowd.
The spectators dispersed, and Izobel and her confidants were left alone, aside from glances being thrown at Chalybe.
Way to go, Izzy, that was pretty brave of you,' Chalybe said, patting Izobel on the back.
What a way to start the morning, Caesar cracked his neck. I was about to tell my escort to attack him, or I would have done it myself.
If you had done that, Caesar, what would he think of the nobles? Izobel questioned.
She brought a small vial and sprayed herself with it. She also wiped out a brush and a mirror, and she quickly covered her tear marks and fixed her makeup.
He speaks for the entire less privileged of Zion, Izobel exhaled. And I vow to uphold my promise.
Huh, well, well, well. Izzy might be more mature than we realize, Caesar. Chalybe mused.
Caesar felt some strange presence, or aura, on Loki, but he couldn't explain it. Plus, he was eager to know where the soft laugh of the woman he had heard came from.
Did you guys hear a woman laughing? Caesar asked.
A woman? Izobel shook her head. No, is something wrong?
Caesar still felt uneasy. It felt like a mystery was tugging him to go looking, but he decided to dismiss it.
No, nothing wrong. Caesar answered, I guess we should walk to the academy.
After several brumite, the trio arrived at the gate of their new academy. The large, black, gothic building stood powerful, with tall towers, arched windows, and an enormous compound decorated with colorful flowers of different sorts.
On the gate of the building read, BLACK MEADOWS ACADEMY.
Caesar was excited. He would meet people who were maybe 10 times stronger, smarter, and more willed than him, but he was excited as ever for the challenge.
A face flashed on his memory, and his excitement disappeared.
Oh no. Caesar whispered. Guys, we gotta go in now.
Caesar tried to push his companions inside, but they were reluctant.
What's wrong, Caesar? Chalybe pushed back, Why the rush?
Before Caesar could answer, a scream was heard.
Caesar Love!!!
The trio looked up to see the paranormal. Descending from the sky was a large 4 winged beast. It had purple skin, with 4 strong legs and a long, elastic tail. The beast's face was otherworldly adorable, with large black eyes and a long sucker attached in the middle, resembling a giant, pink mosquito.
Standing with confidence atop the creature was a girl, looking down on the trio with elegance.
Oh, I see what this is. Chalybe nodded. Caesar's admirer has arrived.
The beast landed in front of the group, and the girl gently slid down off its back.
It's her, Caesar frowned. Aurelia.
The girl threw a kiss towards Caesar. Hello, darling.
