Chapter 312 - THUNDER READY FOR A FIGHT (2) (1/2)

But then he thinks of the many things the Oracle has done to meet the Death Monarch.

Why did she suddenly decided to steer off course and sailed out from Pandemonium without seeing the Death Monarch?

After all everyone knows that the Death Monarch is already in the Palace.

So, hesitatingly he ask

'Great Oracl-' Erika cut him off before he could finish that sentence

'Call me Erika, dummy' Erika said and she smiles at Antonius.

And this time the smile on her face is not the usual painful smile Antonius always sees when she is smiling.

This is a sincere smile. And because it is sincere, it melts his heart

'Er…ika.'

'I think you got to practice that' Erika said chuckling a bit.

'Yeah, I'll start practicing it from today' Antonius replies smiling bashfully.

'Erika.'

'Hmm?'

'Why do you want to go out of Pandemonium right now?' There is a silent for a moment as the wind blows by her and caress her cheeks.

'Why are you curios?' Erika ask

'You still haven't met Death Monarch? He is there inside the Palace right now. You said you have something to tell him'

Erika only smiles a mysterious smile

'It is not yet the time'

Then sighing she added

'I thought it is already the time to told him certain things. But I guess….I am too hasty in my decision. Fear clouded my mind. The timing…is not right.'

Then she sighed and does not speak any other words after that

Antonius did not understand what the Oracle is trying to say but he only nodded.

Then without anything else to talk about they both look at the vast water in front of them as the ships comes and goes.

Then as they wait for their boats, and enjoying the scenery of the sea a slight commotion happened on their backs.

The crowds seem to be noisy all of a sudden.

Antonius quickly responded to the commotion.

Even Erika turns back and looks at the crowd

The crowd is parting to pass one man ahead of them. Most of them bowed slightly to that person.

The black robed men of the Shadow Guard did not look surprised instead they blend in the crowds also looking at the person causing the commotion.

A man appears, standing out from the rest of the crowd.

He is wearing a purple robe that seems to fit him perfectly. His long black hair is tied up neatly and he seems to possess a regal bearing like the whole world is underneath his feet.

He is handsome and his eyes seem to contain an unbreakable will. Erika knows people like that. It is someone who has firm conviction about what they were doing is right.

Many of the people in the crowd are awed and some of them are the citizens of this man organization.

As he walks to the port he is emanating an aura of a Great King.

Around him purple butterfly flapping it wing gently as it stays around the vicinity of the man

This man strode powerfully to the Port when he notices Erika as people parted ways for him not daring to match eyes with him.

Erika eyes turn sharp.

This man in the purple robe is none other than the President of the World Government Ashikaga Hirate.

'Erika, we meet again' Hirate said as he hold out his hand. Erika smiles courteously and shakes his hand.

'It has been a long time since we meet' Erika said. Hirate nodded then he stands not too far away from her. Antonius is also there protecting her.

'Waiting?' He asked

'Hmm' Erika replied.

There was silence in the Port. It was the crowd in the vicinity of the port that seems tense and noisy.

Everyone knows that Hirate was brought to Pandemonium by Death Monarch. Now he is here in this port of Newark safe and sound and doesn't seem to be hurt or stressed out.

There were many speculations saying that he is in Pandemonium Secret prison and some even suggested he is dead.

But here he is standing here on the Port. But disregarding the speculations, something must have happened.

But everyone knows whatever happened between those two men, it must have to do with some world shaking decision that would affect millions.

By now most of the people in the world knows that the race of aliens coming down from the sky a few weeks ago come from a planet called Orvan.

They also knew that they are hunting a fugitive of their planet.

That is the story the World Government and the Republic told the populace. There is no need to tell them about some curse about this fugitive who could not die.

That would only invite panic. The fact that Sithulran could not die already becomes a headache for the World Government and the Republic.

Every time Sithulran causes a problem the most they can do is kill her before she returns back stronger and more adept in her fighting techniques.

The Orvanians that is staying in the World Government is also incensed.

They suggested bringing their warship down on Earth which had the whole Senate of the Republic and the Quorum Council of the World Government to veto that idea.

They would never let a warship of an alien civilization landed on Earth unless it is the last measure.

If they ever bring down their warship down to Earth, imagine the panic that will spread on the world.

The Weronian Invasion is still fresh in everybody mind. Even now, there are some people still hunting Weronians.

And everyone knows about the Great Oracle arrival which is even earlier than the President of the World Government.

And if the Republic and the World Government allowed it, they must also explained to the world the real truth about Orvanians and Sithulran which will only invite more panic.

How do you kill something that can't be killed?

While this is all happening all over the world, news came out from the White Owl that Hirate is at Pandemonium.

Since then people have begun speculating many things and people fearing another war would erupt between the two men

But here they all could see that Hirate is fine. Not only that they also saw the Oracle is going out from Pandemonium.

Today, both of them are going out from Pandemonium.

The discussion between Hirate and the Death Monarch had been concluded. But for some reasons even though Erika did not meet Death Monarch she is also leaving.

Many intelligence agencies have already deduced why the Great oracle would leave the conform of her Temple in Moscow and go to Pandemonium

She wanted to meet the Death Monarch. But suddenly when she had the chance to meet the Death Monarch she is returning home.

The sea breeze once again blew passing the Port. This time, the wind passes these three people.

The butterfly flaps it wings and perched itself onto the left shoulder of Hirate

Erika look at the sea and then she ask

'Did you get what you want from Death Monarch?' Hirate shakes his head regretfully.

'I got some, lose some' he said. Then looking at Erika he said

What about you?

Smiling Erika said

'Like you I got some, lose some. If there is something true about the Death Monarch it is that he is consistent' and she chuckles.

Hirate also chuckles. Then seeing there is no longer any reason to talk to each other, silence descended again.

The relationship between the World government and the Great Oracle Erika is quite iffy to say the least.
