"They didn't but I did!"Startled I look over toward the doorway of the basement and right behind Navin stands a man I don't recognize gripping a chunk of metal in his hand basically gloating at a now terrified Nolan and Nelly.
"Grandpa!" Starla exclaims excitedly struggling within Nellys grasp trying her best to get freed of Nellys hold on her. Grandpa? The guy doesn't look a day older than forty.
"Hey pumpkin I thought you might be needing this." Starla's grandpa wiggles the metal piece that he has in his hand in the air smiling over at her joyfully.
"Quick, where are the other pieces?" He ask quickly with his eyes searching the room until they land on Alis who is now frantically searching through his worn out duffel bag that he has slung over his shoulder.
"I do," Alis continues to search until he finds the other pieces that are gingerly wrapped up in a brown tattered scarf that use to belong to Starla.
Alis walks over to Starla's grandpa quickly handing him the other broken pieces of the famous Pacritic sword. Now all of the pieces are finally together.
"Wait! I will kill her before you even get the chance to meld those damn pieces together." Nolan threatens swiping the knife away from Nellys grasp determinedly as he does it accidentally cuts a small fraction of Starla's skin on her neck making her seethe out in pain. A small trickle of blood drips out from the cut.
The fucking asshole!
I take a step forward ready to attack him in a seconds notice before the asshole gets a chance to inflict any more damage on my destined one.
"Is that so? Boy who do you think you are messing with? I'm the great Aether with one quick swipe of my damn hand I can remove you from this fucking planet! Don't ever threaten my granddaughter again!" Aether is now seething edging his way closer to an astonished Nolan who is laughably literally starting to shake in his boots. I cast a small grin at him.
Nelly begins to falter, her worried eyes are now bouncing back and forth between Aether and Nolan, though unfortunately she has a firm grasp on Starla still.
"I don't care who you are. You don't frighten me a damn bit. You should know I can't be fucking killed!" Nolan snarks but I can sense his fear as Aether keeps slowly progressing toward him. Aether stops right in front of Niko, blocking mine and his view of Starla and the rest of them.
Dammit!
I grunt out in disapproval until I notice the sword that's locked between Aethers hands that he is perfectly hiding behind his back.
