Mortal Infinity

2nd Mark

My father metioned before that I would have a partner in life in our field of business. Of course, all I expected where a normal one but he cleared everything sixteen days ago when were having our breakfast. I usually hid my feelings under my composed facade, I was not willing to admit that I was not fine. That time, I was struggling to face my father, even though I had some symptoms of having a fever.

He sat with his back leaned on the wooden chair; looking at his half-empty glass. I was apprised by the fact that he was a good father to me. After, I had won that bloody battle, I finally saw him, my father, the one who was behind that idea. I couldn't feel anything whenever my eyes laid on him. But as time went by, I realized that I had one of his features, the hungry red eyes. The only difference between us was the warm greetings and acceptance of those eyes, he had fire while me, I got nothing but the color.

"Scy," his voice was lively as ever, his eyes twinkled as they met mine but turned cold as he noticed my heavy inhales and exhales. "What have you done to yourself?" he sounded a little bit angry or he was totally angry. I coudn't tell with the out of the ordinary feeling inside my head.

"I just finished the future model of the cafe," I tried to keep my yawn as I sliced the bacon. I looked at the maid who swiftly tensed up because of my stare. "Can I have the Ceasar's Salad, pig's belly strips are not good for me, also the vegetable oil which was used to fry this remind me of that salad," I put down the knife and fork then let the maid replaced my plate with a bowl filled with what I had said.

"It is the entire model, isn't it?"my father watched me carefully.

I looked at him then rolled my eyes much to make him chuckle. The taste of the freshly cut vegetales was not helpful enough to erase my annoyance about my father's question. Out of the blue, my eyes caught a glimpse of crystal green head.

He had his "normal good boy clothing", he didn't have his big head phones around his neck and some applied black eye liner which was disgusting, not even his chick boy style. What a relief, I guessed. He looked decent with white shirt under his branded crimson polo while he had his best fit taylor made black pants. His new Wilson's tennis shoes was out of the whole clothing but somehow it suited him.

"Uncle, you shouldn't ask that kind of question," the lad with that head snickered as he pinced those grapes in his mouth. "Our princess here must be excited to see her prince," he locked his pink eyes on me.

"Oh, Limethos, here you go again," my father laughed but his voice was manly. "She doesn't know anything yet,"

"Really, Uncle?" my green head cousin kept his gaze to me then it occured to me, he looked like a christmas dork.

"I already know, the son of Dr. E. Infinity will be my partner. He have the highest IQ in their continent, strong physical features but the color of his hair and eyes is brown, and to be exact, his hair is chocolate while his pair of eyes is chestnut. He have a very cunning atmosphere. He's okay for me," I said with one of my eyebrows raised to show how naive they were to conclude that I didn't know. Limethos who I prefered to be addressed as Lime, burst in laugher while my father gave me a mocking smile.

I never admired anyone, looked up to their abilities or compared myself with their uniqueness. I was born to do what my parents failed and needed to do. Father told me to carry the main purpose of the life given to me. He already knew what my mother had planned for me, that was why, he was willing to let me go. He said it was hard for him to lose my other siblings but he still reminded me that after all those years, I lacked the most important thing.

One week before the story's current time...

Duas was informed that the current head of the Mortal family chose him as Scythe's partner. Which meant he was the one in charge of her while she was away from the main family. Somehow, Duas thought it would be easy since he knew that the girl was well-raise but he was shocked when he found out that Scythe could do everything except taking care of her body. One night, the black haired girl told him that she would take a mild bath but ended up soaking with hot water in the tub which caused her to have fever.
