Chapter 29 - BEYOND THE BLAZE and the red eyes

"Yes, why would I go with you if I'm confused too?"

"So master you, you are living me al…"

"No, I didn't say that. I'm also confused. My mind is racing an endless race. First question, why did that guy follow your orders?" 

"Ohh that, I'm also in the dark on that."

"Exactly, you know nothing but you did it. Secondly, how did I get strong just after you touched me." 

"Ohh that's easy, I discovered that technique through my dreams. It's called terraverde and it's for healing. It can move plants too."

"What?" 

"Yes, it's a good skill. It's for healing the wounded only." 

" Then why didn't you show me?" 

"It's a healing spell, why and how would I show you if there's no wonded person?" 

"Mhh, you got a point, okay."

They finished their boring talk and Akirion went out side. As soon as he stepped outside, he realized that the air was in a different shape. He gasped and his heart raced, beating as if it was going to come out. A dark big scary cloud with red eyes loomed before him, and the two eyes were pointing at him scarily. His skin got wet as the sweat broke through. He recollected the last time when he saw it and then he retreated, and went back to Thaneiros.

Akirion reached out to Thaneiros with a dull face. 

"Anything wrong Akie." 

" Ahh, actually.. no. I have a question." 

" Okay, fire it up." 

"Do you have any knowledge about the dark cloud with red eyes."

"What's that? Sounds scary, red eyes and a cloud? It sounds childish and on the other side, it's a bit….." 

" Do you know anything, yes or no."

" No, wait yes. I guess I've heard something about that, it's either, reading or someone told me, I can't recollect". 

"Ohh, what do you remember, anything? It will be helpful".

"Slow down, firstly tell me what happened, where did you get that question?" 

"Ahh, I'll love to keep it a secret until you tell me something that my two orbs would love to hear and my brain should be able to access it, process it and store it."

"Aww man, really, it sounds like an amazing topic but you are keeping it to your chest."

"It's for your own safety I guess, so, please help me, any ideas on where you heard something like that?"

"Disappointingly no." Akirion sighed and lost hope, but a glimpse of happiness caught up when Thaneiros opened up.

"Hey Akie, I guess I have something, around one of the magic books that I have, it's difficult to know where it was in."

"That's helpful master, keep going, search every corner of your brain, maybe you'll get something". Akirion forced Thaneiros to keep on searching.

"Yes, I guess I know where I read it. It's called the book name is called BEYOND THE BLAZE , I know it for sure, there's even a picture showing an enormous black cloud with some eyes."

" where is the book master?"

They went to search for the book.

Meanwhile, the royal family altercated over the situation about Haruto. The King stayed quiet, deep in thoughts, while Kaid was busy blabbering while his sister Fiana trying to defend the ghost of steel's attackers.

"See dad, I once told you that your guy Haruto will surely betray you, look now…." Kaid attacked his father.

" Excuse me, so are you trying to say that Dad was supposed to hate those guys? Let me tell you something, those guys are powerful, and they always help out in many investigations. Elysia is quite because of…." 

"Ahh, ah, ah, don't you lie infront of the royal crown, the RPU always helped out, and they are trustworthy, not like your Haruto guy, who lied to the King himself. Now you are defending them, is your head functioning normal Fiana?"

" Here we go again, you are trying to start a fight with me huh, you want to quarrel like 2 year olds? Sorry, I'm not up for it, I'm a grown up not a 2 year old." 

"Then get married if you are that old?!"

"The what? No way, there's no guy who's good enough to marry me, right Dad?" The King remained silent.

The King felt betrayed. He reminisced about old times with Haruto. Haruto and his team catching culprits and his spy team was the best at retrieving the hidden truth.

The king's eyes were filled with tears as he thought of Haruto's loyalty that turned to dust.

"Wait, is Dad crying". Kaid felt bad.

"Kaid, it's all your fault". 

"What, me? What did I do ".

"Blamed father's favorite person, of course."

" I didn't do that ".

"Kaid, you did , Haruto was on your mouth all alo..."

"Shut up! " The King's voice boomed inside the royal walls. And the two bickers shut their mouths as if an invincible hand was holding their mouths with their eyes filled with fear and confusion. The king continued saying;

"I don't want to hear that name inside of these walls, that guy should be dead, honestly, tomorrow it's his death day. I won't spare his lowlife. How dare he lie to me, me!?" the anger of the King filled the the whole castle with the blazing anger.

His eyes were burning with anger, all the hatred and betrayal were located in those tear flooded eyes .

Meanwhile.

Akirion and Thaneiros roamed around their library, where it was hard to breathe,with thick air, filled with dust. They made it upside down, searched as if they were on an adventure. 

Akirion's eyes scanned the book shelf and his small fingers trailing over the spines of the books, while Thaneiros muttered to himself fastrated with the lack of progress while searching every corner of his head in order to get some ideas about the book.

They spent hours, all because it was important to Akirion, he didn't give up, he sat on a pile of books to find the only book.

Thaneiros felt tired, but as long as he was helping Akirion, he didn't find the time to rest. 

After some time, Akirion caught a glimpse of a unique book he never saw with a corner of his eye. His heart pounded for a second, when he saw the letter B, which was the start of the name.

Akirion's face loomed with a smile when he touched the book with his only two hands, and read it with his two buttons. Thaneiros saw Akirion's face shining with a smile, he got surprised for a second but he realized what Akirion was doing.

"Wow, what a smile, what's up? You were emotionless a minute ago when I looked at your face, but now I'm facing a shiny sm…." Thaneiros gasped in happiness, his face loomed with a warm chuckle when he realized that Akirion was holding the book that caused all the search.

"I've finally located our treasure, what do you say master, we open it and see what's inside or I locate my patience and wait for the auspicious time."

"Let me see it." Akirion handed the big heavy book to Thaneiros, and that brought some flashing memories about the book in Thaneiros' brain.

That time, they unlocked a quest for searching for the page. Akirion preferred to go page by page in the book without the contents page. 

They searched, unveiling some unknown things until they found the page, Akirion gulped when he saw the cloud in a picture.

"This is the one, this is the one master." 

"ohh yes Akirion, now it's time for you to spill the beans, you've seen that I know something about the cloud, so it's your turn to answer my question on how you know about the cloud because it's a bit disturbing for me.

Thaneiros closed the book and Akirion who was ready to uncover the truth behind the scary cloud, felt disturbed, after searching for that page for a long time.

"Master! What have you done? That page was hard to find, remember?"

"Calm down, you only have to tell me, I'll deal with the page after."

"ohh, okay then, why wouldn't I tell you? Here goes my secret that nobody knows about, even my late parents. It was five years ago, can you imagine how tall I was. I forgot my toys outside, so I was forced to go and get my comrade outside. After I picked up my toys, I saw a dark scary cloud, that made my heart skip for a second, it's two red eyes were piercing through the dark enormous cloud. They were staring right straight at me and that got me soaking wet of sweat for some minutes. I ran back to the house and I hid what I saw from my parents.

And today, after that conversation, when I stepped outside this house, I again, saw the same cloud, dark, scary and the red eyes were located in that cloud, glowing, and starring right straight at me." 

"That's scary enough, I can't even imagine how it felt. Okay just like you think, it's time to reopen our treasure." Thaneiros opened the page at once and it got Akirion astonished because he was thinking that it was going to take time to reach the page. 

"Hey Akie, I guess it will be better if I read it because we will both like to hear what it says."

" Okay Master, you can read it, I'm all ears."

"Okay".

Thaneiros read the book, and he was surprised to uncover what it meant. Akirion opened his eyes wider, in surprise, and he realized something about his parent's death.

It said that when a person sees that cloud, he or she would have been blessed, because there's no normal person who can see the cloud. And it also uncovered some scary and unpredictable scenarios. It said that the cloud is a notifier of danger, and it also mentioned that the danger occurs after 5 years.

"Ohh dear, so that was the danger!" Akirion emotionally said.
