Pursuing the Truth

Truth?

Calvin huff a little, scratched his head, while stare into the house in front of him. And, for your information, it's not like so normal house around you ever seen. It more like, a cursed palace, than something called home.

Calvin Chrono- or we should say Calvin Harvey, a 19 years old, an assassin by trade, also ex-hunter. It's doesn't mean that he keep change his job. It just, the job mission a little bored, that's all. So, he is a hunter, whom also take a job as an assassin.

His mother, the other hand, never approved his job. She really want his only son become a necromancer like her. Even had a talent as a necromancer witch, he think that, he doesn't fit as one. That's the first reason he left his so called home.

And now, he need to come back here, for one purpose. Pursuing the Truth about the real him.

Up until now, he felt just like a bipolar person that have different trait that interchangeable. In a second, he can be a shy guy, somewhat stranger and the other second he can be a harsh and bad manner guy with a high proud attitude, the other second later he can be a gentle and polite guy, that love to help anyone around him. Well, that's look impossible and confusing. But, that's him. It's all him. There's no doubt.

That's why, he made a note of his identity. The harsh one is Phantom Devil, The Shy one is Lucio Gregory , the Gentle one  is Leon Wesley. And the combination of all is him, Calvin Chrono.

Chrono, is his mentor family name, Chronos, and a given name by his mentor, considering him as the mentor's own son. Maybe he can tell the story about it later.

Let out, another sigh, Calvin take a step, and knocked the door, before open the door. Nothing changed there, from his last visit. That place still, can creep a stranger out. A dim light illuminate his surroundings, as he walk through the empty, and silent coridor.

Opening another door, at his left side, and entered the library. Once again, it's not so normal library that you ever seen before.

Many kinds of magic book neatly arranged at the giant bookself. The strange incense flow, filling this room with somewhat mysterious fragrance. The light, is dim, just like in the corridor or other room. We can say that energy efficiency.  There's also a table, and pair of chair, usually the place where someone read the book. And, there is some book, lining on the table, ready to be read.

Calvin look around him, trying to find that woman figure in this room.

"Hey, come out already, I don't have a time for playing hide and seek now. ", He said, still looking around.

"Ah you finnaly come. I have been waiting for you. "

A women stand in front of him. She had a light brown hair, and it shoulder length. A pair of hazel brown eyes, and a fair white skin. Calvin admitted, that her mother had a grace figure, for someone whom aren't noble.

"So, what you wanna talk about?" Ask Calvin, keeping a distance from her.

"Isn't that you whom really want to talk?" Ask that woman again, smiling a little. Making Calvin sigh a little.

"Alright. So tell me about my past. " He said, crossing his arms, stay on guard. It's not that, there's a monster around here, but his mother is a necromancer. A necromancer that could controlling other's mind, and also taking anyone consiousness, and don't forget about brain washing.

"Isn't it rude talking while standing like this, dear?" Said that woman, making Calvin flinch and shake his head,"No, I am okay. I am used to it. "

"Okay if you said so. " Smiled the woman, before walk through another bookself, take one book from the bookself. It's a plain deep purple book, and doesn't look like a magic one.

The woman, Freyja Harvey, just smiled a little, while turn the page.
"You know, Dear? I am happy seeing you grow into a fine young man, like now. You used to be a little crybaby and scared of anything. And always stay behind me, when there's a guest coming in. "

"But now, you already grow. You bravely faced your own problem. Challenge the death and danger, also beating this twisted world with your own strength. I am really impressed. " She continue, turn another page of book.

"You know right, at first, I really want you to become like me. A necromancer, continue this cult, tradition and ceremonial of respect our late ancestor. I really having a high hope in you, especially seeing your talent as crafting things, learning some basic spell. Also, imitate me by sending notes and picture you saw to someone. That's a real great talents. And I really proud of you," she continue, closing the book and put it back, where it originally belong.

"That time, as your mother, I felt worry and fear, imagining you at a young age, already become an attention center of people nearby. "

She sigh a little, before continue.
"I was really scared back then. I was scared that everyone just using your talent as a mischief. You, whom never knew about this cruel world. You, the innocent kind hearted kid, and also a genius. That's why, I am worried about your safety. If something did happen to you? What should I do? How can I take this responsibility?"

Calvin flinch, hearing his mother that he despises so much, because of sacrificing other people. Trully loves him from bottoms of her heart.

"That's why, I brainwashed you back there. Hoped a better life for you. And that's another reason, for trapped you in the underground below. "

"I did it all, for protecting you from this world. I did it for your safety, Calvin. I don't mean anything else. I really never intended for harming you, my own child. My own blood. "

"When you left this place, I'm really desparated. I failed protect you. I fail protected my own blood. "
The woman sob a little, erasing her tears that fall down to her cheek.

"... I'm sorry, mother. "
Calvin just shrug, looking down at the floor, didn't dare looking that woman in the eye. So he was this all along. How could he done this terrible things?!
