Fate's Worst Children: Destruction

Chapter 27

After a week of spending their time in controlling the flow of their spiritual energy in their core, they decided to move forward and find clues about Jayen. Mewn city is surrounded by nature, fewer buildings that you can almost say that it's a rural area.

"Do you think we'll be able to find clues about Jayen here?" Lobin looks at Han.

"Ridav is full of hints about Jayen. It wouldn't hurt to check if the city next to Ridav holds the same number of clues." He answered.

"You're right. All right. We'll go and check." Lobin nodded and looked at Lily. He noticed that the girl was restless, "Hey, are you alright?"

"Huh? Ah. Yes, I am."

"Are you worried that you'll find something here?"

".... Maybe. It's been a while since I got here."

"What's the big deal?" Arete raised her eyebrow.

"Lily grew up here in Mewn." Faier replied, smiling, "The mountain where we lived for months, her house is near to it!"

"We can check the mansion if we can stay there." Lily smiled tiredly.

Arete, "Are you sure? I mean, it's a great thing to visit a friend's house."

"Yes. It's fine. We'll go there once we gather enough information about Jayen."

Lobin stares at her, observing her movements and expressions on her face. He still remembered what people said when they saw Lily when they're capturing the masterminds between deaths of the civilians.

"Isn't that the orphan young lady?"

"I heard that she is now a knight after her brother died."

"I pity her so much. Should we pray for her?"

"I heard her parents are corrupt officials and were demoted as civilians. They totally ripped their titles off. The lord of our city didn't give them a second chance."

"I bet she's trying to get revenge because of it."

Those words stuck on Lobin's mind. He never confronted Lily about it either. For him, if Lily decides to be open about her past, he'll be there to listen. It's not about forcing someone; it's letting them catch up on their own feelings.

They went to the town to ask about Jayen. All their answers are the same. A magician with white long braided hair with blue eyes appeared in Yaxor, saving dozens of people whenever a calamity happened.

The magician, however, did not introduce himself, but he gave them protection seal papers in case some of the calamities will go back. Han's hope rises when he hears that Jayen survives in traveling away from Iryankka after it explodes.

"Jayen has white hair?" Arete couldn't believe what she had heard.

"Yes. Why? Is it rare on Earth?"

"Yes. It was a rare genetic condition on Earth. If I'm not mistaken, while the baby is developing inside the womb, it affects the production of melanin in the body. Melanin controls the color of your skin, eyes and hair. It's a long-term condition." She explained.

"Oh. In Iryankka, it's not that rare. The traits of a parent are being passed to their child."

"Oh... So it's not a condition?"

"No. Jayen's mother has white hair, and his father has blue eyes."

"I bet she's pretty." Arete smiles sweetly.

"Yes." He nodded, "And one of the most kindhearted people I know. Whenever I visit their mansion, his mother will hug and ask how my day was. She will prepare food and warm clothes for me."
