Chapter 228 - The Wrong Side (2/2)

”It is” Monk replied in an instant.

”But what about Ray,” Slyvia said, ”Are you willing to betray him after all he's done for you.”

That was the first time that Monk truly had hesitated for a brief second before answering.

”It's my life, why should I follow it in the footsteps of other's” Monk shouted.

That's when finally Wilfred stood up and asked everyone to be seated.

”I believe we have heard enough. Not only have you disrespected the academy but you are now also disrespecting our saviour. If it weren't for Ray we would all be dead by now. We will accept your decision to leave our ranks but you may never step in this city ever again.”

Monk then stood up and bowed to Wilfred.

”Thank you, Originally I wasn't going to return to this city, but I wanted to let you all know I was safe, and wanted to make everything official.”

Monk then started to walk to the door and that's when everyone noticed a marking on Monk's back. It had two wings and an eyeball in the middle. The mark of the Dark guild.

”I hope we never have to meet on the battlefield,” Monk said before he used his shadow skill to disappear.

That day had truly affected the morale in the city. They had lost a strong ally and it was in a matter of days. It wasn't over a huge war or a loss of death like they usually had but instead, someone had decided to go over to the enemy's side.

Without a doubt, everyone had seen the marking on Monk's back. Something had changed about him that day, he wasn't his regular self and maybe the Dark guild had answers.

For days on end, Martha refused to believe Monk had left like that. If he had already been working with the Dark Guild this whole time then why did he save her?

This time an emergency meeting was called out on the training field. Martha stood in front of all her old roommates. She wasn't in her usual white robes that indicated that she was an elder. Instead, she was wearing her old armour and sword.

”I have called you here today because I have a request from you all.” Slyvia said, ”As you all know a dear friend of ours has gone off to the Dark Guild.”

Everyone had sunk down as they heard Slyvia's words.

”But I do not believe he went out of choice,” Slyvia continued. ”Perhaps he was threatened, maybe they have something against him that we do not know of. All that I know is that was not the same person we knew before. Now what I'm going to ask you is going to be tough and dangerous but this is why I'm only asking you people here who care for Monk as much as I do. I plan to infiltrate the Dark guild and get monk back!”
