You

It takes me at least twenty minutes to finally demateralize and appear in the middle of nowhere...

But I don't care at all, because I really did it!

I try again.

And again.

And again...

It gets easier with each try.

Everytime I do it, I think of Sylus's villa.

'Cause that's my destination.

I know my path is the right one.
I can feel it.

After another fourty minutes or something I'm finally standing in Sylus's bedroom.

Of course that's where my mind pictured me subconsciously...

But I don't waste any more time.

The villa is empty.

I wasn't expecting anything else, to be honest.

They're all after Magnus.

I run down the stairs into the entrance hall.

»Guess I'm at the start again...«

How am I going to find them?!

Right in that moment, when I turn to search in his study for information again, I hear a screeching noise coming from upstairs.

My gaze flies up to Mephisto, who's just rushing towards me from the staircase.

»Mephisto! You're not with him?!«, I ask surprised.

The mechenical crow lands on my shoulder and I swear I can see him shaking his head a little.

I brush over his head and pet him a little.

»Can you help me, little friend? Can you show me the way to Sylus?«

He screeches and makes tiny jumps on my shoulder.

»Well, I take this as a yes then...«

He let's out a high noise, jumps from my shoulder and flies to the front door.

I don't lose time and open it.

He flies straight to the driveway and lands on...

»Oh, no...No way! Uh-uh, little guy. Not going to happen!«

He screeches aggressively and I have a feeling he might be scolding me...

»Guess they took all the cars Sylus has got in his garage?«, I ask in an intimidated voice.

One short screech as an answer.

»Now it's official. I will kill him as soon as I find him...«, I complain and give in.

I go straight to the motorbike and take a deep breath.

»Do you think the shadows can take control for this?«

This time the bird definitely nods.

»Great. At least I don't have to really drive myself...«

I sit on the bike and Mephisto jumps on my shoulder again.

»You know the way?«

Suddenly, I feel a little tugging in my head and I just know where to go.

»Was that...was that you?«

He tilts his head up proudly.

»You're such a good boy, you know that?«

He purrs and rubs his head against my cheek before he somehow let's me know that I need to put on the helmet.

I take it from the handle and put it on.

»How do you do that?«

He just cocks his head.

»Is that how you communicate with Sylus?«

The answer just pops up in my head and I let out a surprised laugh.

»Precicely.«

It's not that I hear a voice saying it, I just...know it.

»This is really strange...but cool at the same time...«

»Just let us find him!«
