Mytho-Academy Next Generation

Chapter 19: Doom

Mia

People wouldn't stop looking at me. It was probably because I took the form of a hawk, something you really wouldn't see in a big city in Japan. However I just ignored them and continued flying around. I desperately looked for any sign of Lucy, however I still came up empty.

Mia: "Damnit... I didn't expect us to find her right away, but still..."

I swooped down and landed on a nearby rooftop. I shifted back into my human form and looked around, not seeing anything out of the ordinary.

Mia: "What should I do..."

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a picture of me and my Moms. No matter how many times I looked at it, I couldn't keep my eyes from tearing up.

???: "My, what a tragic loss. I do apologize for that~"

The second I heard the voice, rage coursed through my veins and I immediately transformed my hand into a large swordfish blade. I swung my arm back as I turned to see Connor standing behind me. Looking into his eyes, seeing the pale blue associated with chaos, I knew it was really Seth.

Mia: "I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!!!!"

He simply caught the blade and pushed it away.

Seth: "I love that fire in your eyes! The same as your precious mother~ Though the last time I saw you, you were a girl. I wonder what happened. You would've made a fantastic second wife, however I don't, what your generation call, swing that way"

I shifted my arms into hawk wings with sharp razors on the end made from shark teeth. I launched all of them at once with a swing of my wings, however he simply held out his hand and formed a barrier of chaos energy.

Seth: "Just like your mother, so quick to attack. I haven't even explained why I'm here"

Mia: "Go to hell!!!! You killed my Mom!!!!!"

I grew large claws on the tips of my fingers and swung at him in a blind rage. He sidestepped a few swings while dodging or parrying others.

Seth: "You may want to listen to me if you want to find your precious Lucy~"

I immediately stopped my onslaught.

Mia: "You know where she is?!"

Seth: "Of course, but that information comes at a co—"

I turned my arm into a large octopus tentacle and slammed it into Seth, sending him flying back a few feet before regaining his balance.

Seth: "Hurt me and you hurt Connor~"

I was so pissed that I just started screaming.

Mia: "I swear, I'm going to fucking end you!!!!"

Seth: "That would be amusing, but my dear girl/boy thing. I require some proof that I've visited you, otherwise your dear mother won't believe me"

Mia: "If you lay a single finger on here head—"

Seth sighed and put his hand out.

Seth: "Enough with your empty threats, she is fine for now. However she may not be unless you cooperate"

As much as I wanted to claw his face in, I didn't have much choice.

Mia: "You're not getting my soul!!"

Seth: "I never asked for that, did I? I simply said information comes with a cost"

Mia: "Then what is it, spit it out!!"

Seth: "Very well, I want you to relay a message to two people. The first, is Lucas Yukari. Give him this, and if you open it before he reads it himself, I'll put your mother through the worst torture a soul can experience~"
