22 In Truth, Lies Rage! Pt 2 (1/2)
”My wives had asked me to work on my temper, but…” looking at the fl.u.s.tered Kaia and Kaija with guilt for being late or failing to keep his word. ”I'm sure they won't mind me killing you.”
As soon as. .h.i.ttan finished speaking the gravity returned to normal and a pulling motion took over Abbas's body, drawing him towards. .h.i.ttan's palm! Slamming his neck squarely into Hittan's palm. Squeezing Abbas's neck Hittan had no remorse but he still offered the same advice.
”In your next life choose a better dog to follow.”
CRACK!
”You killed him so easily! We heard that he was 350,000 units into tier 2 of the Elemental Rank.” Kaia looked at Hittan with a bit of shock while Kaija just stared at the dead Abbas while trying to guess. .h.i.ttan's true level of power!
*****************************
”Sister! May I come in?”
”What is it, Kaia?”
”I need to talk to you about Hittan!”
”... Come in.”
As the doors to the throne room were pushed open Kaija couldn't help but wonder about the recent dreams of her childhood. It seemed somehow that her dreams became akin to memories and she found herself missing that feeling more and more each day. Missing a time of freedom or missing a person, Hittan. But it was a thought she dismissed, as she knew that it was impossible to have these memories so she attributed them to her longing for a life she only tasted with him.
”Kaija, I have been having strange dreams as of late. Dreams about us and Hittan at…”
”At Sky Element Academy.”
”You too?! No, it can't be! How are we both having the same kind of dreams about him… does he call you, his… wife, too?”
”... Yes, it seems his goal… was always, us.”
”But what about the things we've done to him and hidden from him. If he finds out I tried, no, we tried to kill him, what will he do?” Kaia started to panic at the thought of Hittan hating her.
”I don't know… we can only wait and dream. Hittan you hopeless romantic… protect us well.”
******************************
”You came in time.” Kaija looked at Hittan with a new sense of security with him merely being there as she softly spoke.
”As it turns out my training was plagued with impatience to return to the both of you. It seems we will be training together in the future or I won't be able to concentrate for long.”
”A likely excuse, just say that you want to protect or see us around the clock.” Kaia squinted and stared at him from the corner of her eye while commenting.
”Well, that would stop me from worrying.”
”What about him?” Kaija pointed towards Malach.
”Oh yes, my newly formed friend. Just a moment girls I need to say a few words before we leave.”
Appearing before Malach like a ghost and pulling him out of the ground by the back of his s.h.i.+rt. Hittan noticed a wet mark on the spot no longer occupied by Malach.
”Such confidence to attack me twice and endanger my friends and to go as far as kidnapping my wives. A foolhardy effort that deserves a good end, die.”
STOP!!!!!!!!!!!
BANG! Pressure fell from the sky causing the girls to drop to their knees while Hittan simply looked at the quickly approaching Elder. This person also wore a symbol of the Arena on his right shoulder and bore a strong resemblance to Malach.
It was at this time that the rest of team New Hope showed up but were caught up in the overbearing pressure. As such, they were held at bay outside of the arena.
Observing the situation and the condition of his friends, Hittan greeted the Elder, ”and who might you be?”
”I am his father, Aapo and I've come to put an end to these…” it was then that he noticed Kaija and Kaia and immediately his memory of who they were flashed into his mind! The future Highlord and Overlord of the Alicorn Empire and an immediate panic set in as he realised that he and his clan could not escape the calamity that would befall them because of his own inactions. The next thing that came to mind was to sacrifice his son but he immediately dismissed that idea. He loved his overindulged son too much to do that.
Seeing the delayed reactions on Aapo's face Hittan understood that he recognised who the girls were.
