27 Underground Zone (2/2)

”Are you really not angry?” Sophia was a little confused by what was happening, in a moment she felt he was ready to attack her and the next he was laughing and compliment her.

”Do I look so pathetic that I will attack the people next to me just because they have different opinions, take this as a little test and congrats you pass wonderfully,” Zatiel smiled at Sophia, as the image he had of her improved greatly.

”This was a test, of what and for what reason?” Sophia was confused, after all, according to her, the value she had to someone like Zatiel is very little and not something worth testing.

”What I was testing was your will, staying true to what you believe in the face of death is something truly brave, of course, it is also truly stupid, the next time something like this happens just lie, if what you need to be safe is just say some false word do it, as long as your heart stays firm words do not matter. As for the reason although you passed this test you still have a long way to go,”

Part of the reason Zatiel brings her with him was that it will be dangerous for her to be alone in the tower now, the rest of the apprentices can do nothing to him, but they may want to trie and get information about him from her, and the other part was that he got fond with the woman and if she manages to prove herself worthy he has no problem helping her.

As for Ezequiel, Zatiel was planning to bring him too, but the boy was in a crucial point in his creations so he chose to let him stay, besides

the Magis already had all the information they want about him, and apprentices would be sending themself to their graves if they mess with him.

”Let's keep going, the entrance to the Underground Zone is a long way to go, and relax we will just be staying in the first layers, I know my limitations” Zatiel didn't waste time and continue his track.

Sophia stood put for a while as she touched her chest and a single word came to his minds

´Will,´ After a moment her eyes became determined as she follows after Zatiel.

They continue traveling for about a week before they reached the entrance to the Underground Zone.

The entrance was nothing fancy, it was just an immense mountain with a cave that leads to the first layer of the underground, if something was worth mentioning was the darkness devoured all light in the cave.

When Zatiel was about to enter, he abruptly stops and looks at the sky, as he did, annoyance starts to show up in his face.

Sophia saw his reaction and she looks at the sky but could not see anything

”Its there a problem?” She could see that something bothered Zatiel but could not realize what it was.

”Its nothing, from now on do not stay more than 20 meters from me at all times,” Zatiel was serious as she commanded Sophia, and she did not dare to disobey.

After they entered the cave and disappeared in the darkness a figure show up from the sky
