The Glyph Monado

Ch. 85: Lies and Doubts

Elsewhere, in the castle, Odalia was looking at the guards trying to recapture the Death Glider. It was amusing to say the least. It's not like it could leave the room, there was a spell to prevent it from leaving the room. Still, seeing the guards get slaughtered and devoured was enjoyable.

"Ma'am! Please, we need your help!" A scout said as he ran towards Odalia.

"No, what you need to do is look behind you." Odalia said.

Before the scout could, the Death Glider bit down on him and shook his body before swallowing him whole. Odalia shook her head at the scout's sloppy skills. She expected the coven members to be more alert and well trained for situations like this. Even if it is a dangerous beast, his guard should've been up.

"I think this has gone on long enough." Odalia said.

She moved back a step, which made the Death Glider lunge at her. It hit the spell and was rendered unconscious.

"Good, now to get it back to its cage." Odalia said, "Guards."

The guards came in, which made Odalia smile. They went in and she locked the door behind them, leaving them in the room as the Death Glider woke up.

"Shouldn't we avoid losing Coven Members?" Golden Guard said.

"We have plenty more." Odalia said, "Go make yourself useful somewhere else."

Hunter rolled his eyes under his mask and walked away. After he returned to his room, he held his head and heard the voice again.

'Hunter... Belos... Danger.'

Hunter shook his head to shake off the voice, thinking it was just his imagination. Ever since almost drowning in the Eclipse Lake, he couldn't stop hearing this voice or find out what it was exactly. One theory came to mind but the way it was speaking, it didn't make since.

'This can't be the Titan, Belos is its ally.' He thought, 'I'll have the Healing Coven check out any mental injuries I might have sustained.'

Making a mental note of that, Hunter then decided to get up and head towards the private coven training grounds. Some spell casting with his artificial staff and his palisman could help clear his head. As he went there, the voice spoke again.

'Hunter...please.....want....save....you.'

He shook his head.

'No! This is nothing!' Hunter thought.

Gripping his staff and hiding his palisman friend under his cloak, Hunter reached the training grounds while the mystery voice gave him one last message.

'Your life.....matters....Belos....not care.'

He held his head. He didn't know what this was, but he wasn't going to fall for whatever lies it told.

"I am his right hand, he does value my life." Hunter said to himself as he began to train, focusing on becoming faster and stronger for his next mission.
