24 Yes, My Son? (2/2)

He moved until the path he was taking began to level. He heard talking, they were the voices of Zuna and Dante. It sounded like they were moving a table, but it sounded really heavy. He got close enough to notice some hinges, so he pushed on the wall. It opened up.

”Arius!” Dante ran over to the cupboard Arius was climbing out of.

”Awe, did you miss me?” Arius said it as a tease, so he didn't expect Dante to nod so seriously. Honestly, Dante had healing powers, in more ways than one. He looked over to see Zuna, who didn't struggle at all while moving a dresser over to cover the hole made in the floor.

”This is fun, isn't it?” Arius turned to Dante, who nodded. Who doesn't like adventure? Probably Eirik and Asrael. Arius could see Asrael sitting in a corner, looking as emo as ever.

Zuna had finally gotten the dressed in the correct position without it falling through the hole. The room was pretty empty except for a few cabinets, drawers, pool table and what seemed like a bar.

Arius walked over to Asrael, the young man was faced towards the corner in the wall. He was sulking it seemed. ”Where have all your lackey's gone off to?”

”None of your business.” Asrael refused to look his way.

”Oh yea?” Arius started cracking his knuckles, it wasn't like we was going to do anything though, but it wasn't like Asrael was scared either.

”Arius.” Dante pulled on his shirt.

”Yes, my son?” Arius's words made Asrael turn his head. 'This man is clearly insane!' The young man thought, while his younger brother was clearly happy with how Arius addressed him.

”Asrael sent his people away when he heard of our arrival.” Dante informed.

”He would do that?” That would mean that Asrael was protecting his people in this way, correct?

”He's a good leader.” Dante looked over at Asrael. ”Just that he's a terrible brother.”

Arius wondered if what Dante said had hurt Asrael, because he could see how the boy flinched when Dante called him a terrible brother.

Zuna had already gotten to the next floor. She was with her dad as they waited.

”Come on, let's go.” Arius said as he made his way towards the dresser. Dante followed behind him.
