Red Eye of Rebellion

Chapter Seven

Without any idea whatever was going on inside Sammathan was leaning against the railing outside the house where the graduation party was being held, he was watching how the city was quiet in the night. Even though he can't really compare this part of the city to the main portion anyway, it was a quiet suburban part of Alaka, where there aren't many houses. The closest house he can notice from the one he was in was almost so far that he was sure the noise from behind won't reach them.

He was deep in his thought when he heard his name being yelled. Sam didn't look back, he didn't want to. He didn't sort out for these types of gathering. Even in family reunions that he had to attend, he stayed as far away and silent he could be. But then someone called him again and this time he knew who it was, so he looked behind and he was right. Isaac was coming outside with two cups in his hand, the door was open and Sam saw those twenty-four people, divided into groups playing games and yelling.

"Here, have some soft drink," Isaac handed over a cup.

Sam took the plastic cup. "So, have you looked into it?"

Isaac didn't look at Sam, "Yes, my mom and dad didn't want to tell me anything. So I looked up some files and record. That guy's.. a mess."

"Mess?"

"He has killed people in all realms and there are thirty-six cases on him all around the realms."

"How's that even possible?" Sam's face was filled with confusion with a sparking rage. "Why the heck does no one know about it?"

"It's confidential, Sam. He killed one hundred and twenty-five elementors. Alone. The government is unable to do anything, how do you think people would react after they find out?"

"Then why drag us into this?"

"I don't know, that's completely your grandfather's doing. Ask him."

"As if I would."

"Oh grow up, bro." Isaac rolled his eyes and looked directly at Sam, "Now you'll be going to be a training institution for Elementory. Don't you think it's time for you to stop hating on your family."

"I can have feelings, however, I want towards those people." Sam was worked up and he pointed his finger at Isaac aggressively, "You don't need to tell me what I should be."

"Woah, I'm not telling you to be anyone. Just saying it's not good to hate.. your father and his father."

"And with whom are you comparing not good with? Your perfect family?"

"Sam, that's not what I'm trying to say, I'm -", but he was interrupted Sam in a harsh tone.

"I've had it enough Isaac. You're a freaking prodigy and I'm a zero. There's nothing to compare here." Sam's plastic cup was empty by then, which he was crushing with his finger. He walked up to the front door and threw the cup in the dustbin close and went back to the party.

The house wasn't that big, everyone was hanging around in the living room. Sam walked up to the couch, oddly no one was near that. He landed himself on it and laid his head backwards and covered his face with his arm. Isaac didn't seem to bother him.

People were divided all over the house, all twenty-four of them. Sam opened his eyes and looked around. Only a few were in the living room. The Elementory world has been influenced by the Mortal world for countless of years, making the lifestyle much more similar, even though it's been five hundred and fifteen years since the two races of humanity had split their way. Both of them have kept connection throughout the years by their supreme leaders, Elementors' Soritas and Mortals' King. And that made those two worlds capable of coexistence.
