84 Suppressing Gray Matter (2/2)

Jessica and Loren were feeling out of place hearing the conversation between Zed and Felicity.

”Want to join us?” Felicity asked Jessica and Loren. She was on good terms with both of them which is why she asked.

”I have a lot to catch up so I can't,” Loren politely refused.

She has joined the academy only a week ago so she couldn't afford to miss the classes. Loren did like Felicity after acquainting her for a week but she wasn't comfortable with the idea of joining her with Zed. After all, today was the first time she met Zed.

”I need to study,” Jessica also excused herself. She could judge from Zed's voice that the invitation was only for Felicity. Not to mention she was afraid Felicity will take her for a crazy ride like the last time.

Felicity didn't ask further as she left with Zed.

”They are truly close,” Loren remarked to Jessica.

”Yeah,” Jessica agreed as they walked towards the class,”But then again they are siblings so it is nothing surprising.”

”Siblings?” Loren was surprised.

Felicity's father, Patrick Weisz, is a senator so he and his family have given a reception to the government officers out of courtesy.This was how Loren became acquainted with Felicity since she was present in the formal reception along with her family.

As far as Loren knew, Felicity only has an elder brother. But now Zed was her sibling as well?

”They are not blood-related,” Jessica clarified.

”Oh,” Loren was confused,”Then how can they be as close as siblings?”

”I don't know,” Jessica said.

Meanwhile at Atlantis.Poseidon entered the core section of the crystal temple.

Rhea was sitting naked on the blue crystal throne like always. The crystals in the throne have fused with her skin which resulted in a glow of blue on her snow white skin.

But Poseidon was horrified at the sight he saw since her body was in a strange condition. Rhea was trembling as traces of gray matter appeared on her neck.

The blood-red crystals in the wall flashed to provide her with their energy but it did no good to reduce the attack of gray matter.

”Holy Seer hasn't recovered yet?!” Poseidon muttered in disbelief. It has been more than ten days from the time she looked in the future but yet her condition was the same.

”Urgh!” Rhea coughed up a mouthful of blood as she suppressed the gray matter with all her might. She sighed in a breath of relief knowing the gray matter was sealed temporarily.

More energy from the blood-red crystals transferred to her. She has gained enough strength to clear her thoughts.

”There was something totally wrong with the future I saw,” Rhea adjusted her silver hairs as she contemplated,”I thought that gray existence attacking me from future is the strange part but I was wrong!”
