Nyx's Phantasma Act 2

Chapter 26: Silent of Killer

Chapter 26 (Rayth): Silent of Killer

Ugh why did I pair up with this psycho... Lucy looked to the water as she tries to grab a fish,

"Damn it, these slippery bastards!"

I sighed, "I wonder if Shelly is doing alright..."

Lucy turns around, "Does this brat have a girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend? I mean... I wish..."

Lucy gives me the straight face as she turns back to catching fish, "I only have eyes for Hyde. But that damn emperor keeps getting in my way!"

I looked to the sky, "Hm... hey Lucy, who is the guy in Serpin island?"

Lucy ignores me... Ugh who am I kidding... Well, according to Hyde before we left, we just needed to go straight... I laid down...

[Before leaving to Heian to meet Lyn and other people who was freed from titan prison]

I walked up to Shelly, "What are you looking at?"

"The stars, we see them every night... But they won't go away... "

"The stars?"

"This might sound silly... But when I was a child, I hated stars, just because those folktales in my villages personified the stars as evil beings. But... looking at it alone like this... It's beautiful."

I sat down next to her, "When I was young... I barely had any moonlight shine down... But I did sometimes see stars through the windows... When I would see them... I would always dream of my freedom."

Shelly strengthened her body as she stood up, "Hey, Rayth."

"Hm?"

She stares down at me, and turns around as her face turns red. Hm?

"No... Nothing."

Is this a sign? No, no, what if I'm wrong? I can't ignore the possibility of her being cold... it's true, she isn't wearing her jacket right now...

Shelly turns back to me with a smile, "Um hey... Just so you know... I'll be waiting... Boss."

[present]

(I'll be waiting) Huh, ughh, what does she mean? Women are hard to understand...

Lucy finally catches a fish, "Got ya you bastard!"

I took another deep sigh, "This is going to be a long night."

It took us a while but we landed onto Serpin Island... From the looks of it, we landed at the head of the island... Now then where to look for the children... This place feels... different... There are a lot more sands around, and it feels more like a waste land.

Lucy groans, "Oh shit, this is where Haimarn lives."

"Finally, you said a name... so... who's Haimarn?"

"Creepiest guy I ever met, that's who he is. He never talks back, always has the same calm expression. Ugh it's so awkward to be alone with that guy."

"Do you mean me, Lucyfur?"

We both turned around to spot a man wearing a black robe, with a hint of gold on the side, he had two black horns with gold tips coming out of his head, his brown skin, and his brown eyes were enchanting as his expression only remained calm... just as Lucy said. He also had two golden earrings as he walked barefoot.

Lucy shouts in surprise, "Ack! See, this is what I mean!"

The man walked past us, "Human, call me Zohar. I assume you are going to help me."
