Chasing Elysian

31. Second Awakening

Third Person's P. O. V:

“Who would use Aether on a weak human?” Doctor Osborne wondered aloud, finding the whole situation a puzzling and unusual act.

Casting the old man a disinterested stare, Kairos remained brooding by the wall, uncaring of Osborne's remarks that didn't help in solving the situation.

Noticing the peculiar expression of the young man from the corner of his eyes, Dr. Osborne quirked an eyebrow in amusement.

“Was it not the almighty Prince who didn't care if the lad died or not? So why the moody expression? Ya, don't be a hypocrite!”

Being chastised by Osborne put Kairos in a further irritated mood. The bloodlust he tried to suppress, slipped out bit by bit uncontrollably.

However, Osborne remained unfazed. Years of bloodshed and knowing the Prince had made him accustomed to bloodlust.

“Youths these days,” Osborne shook his head in disappointment.

The Prince could be mentally disabled sometimes.

Kairos could not stop the words from flowing out as he tried to justify his feelings. Maybe seeing the girl deeply hurt made him feel a 'teensy' bit anxious and pissed.

“It's not about whether she's alive. But I do not want her dead till I wish so. And some little b*stard coming so boldly to kill someone in my hands- irritates me to no end.”

“How's her condition?” Kairos asked after Osborne failed to respond to his words. The old man simply stared at the changing statistics displayed on the wall.

“Osborne-” The impatience in Kairos' tone was obvious, watching the old man suddenly hasten his actions with solemnity.

Typing something on the keyboard and frantically assembling a syringe, filling it with pale yellow liquid that was sealed with plastic.

“Get me Anetone and Zidroxoquil!  Something's changing in her body-- I, I can't tell if it's good or not but it's definitely serious!”

Kairos found himself oddly panicked at the sight of the pale Rosanna, twitching slightly on the bed in an unconscious state.

“Where?!” Kairos yelled, wondering what the old man was spouting and where he could find the two drugs or liquid.

The alarms in the room went off instantaneously and Sierra's voice applied more mystery to the situation, distracting the two from changing Rosanna's condition. 

“Warning! Warning!! Warning!!! Dangerous mana waves found! Requesting visitors of the room to make a quick exit. Space rift is building and Aether is unstable!”

Bright purple light engulfed Rosanna, Sierra's voice ringing continuously in the background.

Visible wisps of red and gold lingered in the air and a very tiny black dot appeared in the middle of the room.

A small surrounding of the black dot was distorted, looking like an illusion that was about to fade. An anomaly that proved the disturbance in space.

Without hesitation, Kairos' eyes glowed a brighter gold as he activated his talent; [Order]. Using a counterattack skill to revert the chaotic energy in the air to a more peaceful state, close to it's original dormancy.
