Seven

Part one

"So you're just a raging alcoholic, are you then?" , the bartender questioned ,amused ,watching the blonde in front of her down his fiftth shot of tequila.He was sure she was expecting him to smile and beguile her with stories from his lousy day ,but he was utterly uninterested ,turning his focus to the run-down club, inferno, he recalled its name being. He scanned the club once again, the combination of blinding strobe-lights and dry-ice smoke making him feel queasy.He let out an exasperated sigh, suddenly regretting ever coming .

His eyes trained in on a certain purple-headed girl, watching her expertly wove between the sea of bodies, making him feel compelled to follow.

" Ay blondie ,you going somewhere ?" A voice called from behind him . He quickly shifted his gaze to the woman standing behind the bar, "Put it on Wayne's tab , tell him it's Seb." He said haphazardly, before getting up walking away in pursuit of who ever piqued his interest. "Aw and I thought we had a connection", He heard the bartender mutter ,her eyes rolling to the back of her head .

He left the club , silently following the girl in to an uninviting alleyway. "What a cliche." ,He scoffed . The girl turned ,suddenly being made aware of his presence. "Sebastian", she said through her sickly sweet smile, which was no doubt a facade. "I'm not here to your silly games, Mira.",He spat closing the distance between them ,pushing her against the cold brick wall of the filthy alley. She turned, feigning a look of betrayal, "My dear Sebastian,what ga-" but was abruptly cut off with a dagger to her throat. "Fine" She said ,swallowing thickly,"Whatever can I assist you with."

" Where is my sister ?",He snarled, dagger still pressed against her throat. She closed her eyes for a brief moment in an attempt to comprehend the situation, " As if i would know, I don't get involved in your kinds business

He looked around the alleyway before backing away from her slightly,dropping his armed hand to his side. "Need I remind you of the favour you owe,you made a blood oath .", spitting the last words out like they burnt his tounge but clearly enjoying her calm mask slip , being replaced by genuine terror  .
She sucked in a breath and pushed him to the side ,raising her hands and allowing them to ingrave an intricate glowing design into the air in front of them ,weaving magic and time into a humming tunnel, a portal of sorts, illuminated with twisted hues of yellow and purple. "I seriously don't know where she is" ,she yelled amidst the deafening whirl of air ,before roughly shoving him through the portal and swiftly following behind, allowing the it to spiral shut behind her.

The two found themselves in yet another club, although this one was far more extravagant.It was massive,filled to the brim with tons of insanely beautiful people, almost too beautiful to be human. Mira took his hand ,guiding him through the sea of sweaty bodies gliding over eachother ,as water droplets would a windowpane. "Mira, where the hell are we?" He shouted over the deafening music,but rather than responding, she lead him to a private stage guarded by two heavy limbed men who looked like they were sculpted by Ares himself. "Missed me boys?" She teased as she saunted closer to them ,allowing her hands to caress their brawny chests." What's that?", the taller muscle-brain questioned,nodding his head in Sebastions direction. "Theorutai", she said nervously, voice barely above a whisper, "He's here to see Silas.". Almost instantly, two parted like the Red Sea,revealing a gold and blue beaded curtain suspended over the entrance to a dimly lit room.

He watched as she stepped through the curtain,following closely behind her,his left  hand hovering the dagger sheath strapped to his thigh.A mysterious ambiance engulfed them as they entered a large showroom filled with nothing but extremely impressive motorbikes and a large workstation desk in the furthest corner of the room,occupied by a head of ruffled platinum blonde hair,its ethereal hue bordering on pewter. The hair belonged to a man of striking beauty, with piercing green eyes ,picking Sebastian apart by the seams,unraveling the subtleties of his soul with relentless precision. He leaned back further in his seat, lacing his fingers through eachother and placing them on his torso, giving the two a puzzled stare look. " Whatever can I assist you with Sebastian?", He questioned nonchalantly.
"The Theorutai Arcane covenant requests your counsel.", Sebastian spoke with authority, something he wasn't sure he was capable of after facing Silas. "We need your help to stop the uprising, we need you to locate the seven."
