Fate's Worst Children: Destruction

Chapter 5

Arete and Han went down to the first floor. They saw the two owners cleaning the tables.

"Here are the keys. Thanks for the good service." Han waved.

"Can't you stay for a day or more? We have a lot more to offer."

"Yeah, unfortunately. We have a new mission from the guild." Arete smiled.

"Be careful on your journey!"

Han split the cloth they used for the flight into two. They used it as a cloak with a hood. Han created an invisible platform so they could focus on where the mysterious energy was coming from while hearing the flute playing.

As expected, Han wants to support Arete but the girl has focused on the scenery she sees above the buildings.

"You shouldn't trust our sources of information." Han warned, "the people."

"I don't trust anyone now except you."

"Oh? Thank you for that. I'm the only one you have in this situation."

"I hope the other secrets you are hiding will not destroy our teacher-student relationship. I also treat you as an important person for staying in the palace for ten years."

"It depends on the situation but pray that it will not happen."

Arete became silent and stopped walking, she closed her eyes and focused. She tried to put her energy into her sixth sense. Mostly, when people talk about the sixth sense on earth, they say that they can see the entities that also live in their world. Good or bad. That is not the only scope of the 6th sense. The sense of the universe is self-explanatory. It is the awareness of the energies surrounding people. When you close your access to your five main senses in the body and you are able to meditate to pass all that to the sixth sense, you can see the flow of energy in every person, animal and nature.

With her accumulated energy going to the sixth sense located on her forehead. She closed off access to other senses to feel the strange energy that kept pace with the flow of positive energy.

"Have you found anything yet?" Han asked.

She didn't answer and walked in the left direction. She expected that in her place with Han, they would be pinned immediately but when they came out, they felt almost nothing. Everything seems normal.

"!" Arete detected suspicious energy in the right direction. She immediately ran there and didn't wait for Han to react. She doesn't want them to lose the clue they are looking for because it is a hassle when it takes them days to resolve the issue.

In Arete's haste, Han immediately created an invisible platform there. It brightens with every step they take. He did not run to reach Arete. It's not that he doesn't want to know right away why someone knows about the song his friend made, he's just lazy.

"It's playing again..." Arete moved her eyes, side by side, "around this area..."

"Did you find something, Arete?"

"It's loud in this area. The flute is playing again. Can you hear it?"

Han walked past her and headed straight for the trees. To those who block Han's path, he knocks it down. He doesn't care if people or animals were hit. That side of Han always makes Arete's skin crawl. The man's eyes are also often lifeless when he asks about Iryankka in the conversation. Arete kept wondering if Han's world is really a paradise with his reactions.

"I found it." Han said to himself.

A flute plays alone on a table inside a house in the middle of the forest.
