Chapter 25

Hey everyone! A new chapter, Please enjoy :D

** Thought

Azrael was confused, he had been told before my Olgierd that the man was going to find him when the time was right, but how long was that going to take? He had no clue.
He bid his farewells to Viktor and Jhin, took the painting that was neatly packed inside of a box and walked onwards, to a small local Inn that was owned by an elderly lady, Azrael got closer and made his way inside.

The menu was vast and full of delicacies but that wasn't why he was there, no, not at all. His task was to order something to drink and to wait for Olgierd to arrive.
Waiting wasn't the hard part but what was interrupting his thoughts was the beautiful waitress looking at him the whole time. When he looked back, she turned away and that somehow made Azrael proud of his natural aesthetics, he has been blessed by the genes of his mother and apparently Void-Lord father, but now wasn't the time to think of that, now, Azrael was there to relax.

After a dozen naps later and a conversation with the waitress, Olgierd finally arrived.

The appearance of Olgierd wasn't the usual one, his shirt and hands were bloodied and his appearance wasn't a welcoming one either, it looked like he was in a fight a while ago.
Azrael, like the gentleman he was, guided Olgierd quickly out of the Inn, apologizing to the owner and bidding the waitress his farewell.

"This better not be human blood," Azrael said in a striking tone.
"Calm yourself, tis' only the blood of a wild beast, killed it on the way here."
"You find yourself in rather peculiar situations, don't you, Olgierd."
"I guess so."
Olgierd then looked at the box Azrael was holding in his hand.
"That the key to the manor?"
"T-The key... Right! Yes, a key!"
"Good, hand it over to me."
"Uhm, alright then."
Azrael slowly passes the box to one of Olgierd's henchmen.
As Olgierd was about to open it, Azrael interrupted by changing the subject.
"Must've made quite a few enemies along the way. Maybe not today nor tomorrow, but one day, someone will find a way to take you down."
"Where did that come from? Also, why should that trouble me? I feel no fear...No regret... The wise men of Noxus said that gods don't exist. After death, there is only the void. I've known this void already. Death holds no surprises.
"You know the void, huh? Hmm, that so? Whatever, I've completed the tasks you've given, now the third.
*Seems like I was able to stop him from opening the box now.*
"Confident, aren't you?" Olgierd states. "Sure of your strengths, fearless."
"Third task, if you don't mind."
"Tell me, have you loved?"
"Yes, I've loved, the task."
"Perhaps we ought to sit down inside, have a good chat and drink some wine."
"We'll drink once the job is done."
"Afraid that's impossible. Succeed, and that's the end of me. Fail, and you'll not be back."
"Third wish, still waiting to hear it."
"My - Aren't you a stubborn fellow. Listen well, I had a wife once, the day I saw her last, I gave her a rose, a violet one." He then walked towards the horses. "Bring me that bloom, wouldn't mind reminding myself what it looks like."
"Wait, how long has it been? The flower has surely turned to dust by now."
"You wished to hear a wish - now you have. I ride now to a different city, but one of my men shall remain here. He'll know how to find me. This is of course, should you succeed."
"Least you could do is tell me where your wife is."
Olgierd thinks of it for a second and replied.

"In my old manor, east of Martin Faille's farmstead. I'd wish you gods speed but - well, hope you understand, I'm sure. Goodbye, Azrael."
*A fucking flower, eh?*

Later...

In front of the entrance gates...

The first thing that Azrael saw as he entered, was a normal stray cat...
"I'd scooch along, kitty. But this-"
