Chapter thirty-four:Hengengandr

With Kakashin in the Library

Kakashin lets out a more relaxed sigh as he walks into the family library with Kaif by his side.

"Would you like me to prepare some tea, Master?"

"Got 'em covered." Kyyu sits on a table nearby with a welcoming smile as a tea pot simmers on the same board. "You like Darjeeling, right?"

"What are you doing here?" Kakashin speaks coolly as he takes the chair at the table across from her.

"Dad called off the searching for now, not sure why." Kyyu sits lazily in her chair while trying to act like she's reading a book. "Do you know what the deal is with that Veena chick-or whatever?"

"Her name is Vila, and I can make a few assumptions about her; why?" His hypothesis is confirmed, Vensen has erased Kyyu's memory of her relationship with Sommi and having a child. This is bad.

"Well," she scratches her cheek as she stares blankly at the book she's holding up, "It's just that Sommi seemed so thrilled to learn new stuff from Dad, that's why he became a servant, and then all of a sudden he starts rebelling with this Vienna chick."

"Vila."

"Right, whatever." She puts the book down. "It kinda reminds me of what happened in Hengengandr."

"Uh-should I leave?" Kaif stands next to the table awkwardly, feeling that the tension could rise at any moment from mentioning that forbidden tale.

"No," Kakashin leans back in his chair with his arms crossed as he looks to Kaif calmly, "You should hear about this incident at least once."

Kaif nods and takes the seat next to his beloved master to listen.

"Are you aware of what happened during that era a million years ago?"

The boy bashfully shakes his head with anxiety to speak any words.

Kyyu puts in her knowledge of the incident as she pours the Darjeeling tea into a cup for her brother. "Towards the end of Hengengandr, Roukuu had a son named Omen, I think he was an investigator for the police or something."

Kakashin nods to affirm her knowledge. "He got a case that involved strange, mysterious deaths and disappearances. After months of tracking down the perpetrator with his son, Jirike, they finally found the path that would lead them to the truth behind it all." He stops to take a sip of his tea and lets Kyyu continue the story.

"When they got to the location of where the occurrences supposedly started, he finally got to meet his dad that was missing all those years prior."

"Who also turned out to be the very person he was looking for to arrest." Kaif begins to understand the situation displayed before him.

The two siblings nod.

Kyyu finishes the migratory. "Up until that point, the two dealt with the rest of their family becoming victims and got torn to shreds by the creatures. Omen almost lost his mind after that. That's not even the worst of it."

Kakashin takes the stage to allow Kyyu to drink some of her beverage. "It wasn't the fact that he was kidnapping people and transforming them into hideous creatures that would rampage into the streets that ruined Roukuu's reputation, but how he was doing it." He pauses as an act of being reluctant to say the rest.

Kaif tilts his head in curiosity.

Kyyu also keeps her mouth shut and refuses to finish the rest of it. She finally gains the courage to speak again, "Roukuu was inserting his own blood into the test subjects and experimenting with the results..."
