Nielu [The Ultima Manhunt B1]

Chapter 14 - "You have to choose..."

"Okay..." Aphmau looks to the ground.

"We all know this isn't an easy decision for her so is there anyway to make it easier?" Zane asks.

He sits beside Kawaii~Chan, who is resting from her slashed wound by Garroth. Kim's dark amber eyes turned blue as Ghost took over.

"The Realm Breaker was shattered, broken by Irene herself. The pieces from it, were said to be lost as Irene and the other Divine Warriors took those pieces and hid them. Hid them from Shad, who wanted nothing more than to have his power back but that power was ripped from him by the Divine Warriors. I didn't even know the Realm Breaker was here." Ghost explains.

Several heads turn in her direction and stare at her with confused expressions as Kim/Ghost rolls her eyes.

"What else do you know?" Lucinda asks.

Ghost sighs. "Only the Realm Breaker can break through realms. It's harder if you have a similar power to it." she says.

"What?" Aphmau questions.

The group turn to see the television get turned on manually by Lucinda. Their conversation regarding the Realm Breaker would have to wait for there are more important matters.

"Breaking news; Melissa Lycan was shot dead just hours ago. The hunt for Aaron and Derek Lycan remains intact. Anyone with information on their whereabouts, is to report to Captain Toby. Thank you, and enjoy your stay!" a newscaster says.

"Now, I'm glad Aaron's in a different dimension."Derek mutters.

"Grape?" Max says, appearing behind Lucinda and hugging her leg.

Derek turns to look at Aphmau with widened eyes. "Max is Melissa's son. Blade is mine and Aaron's." Aphmau explains.

"Okay." Derek says.

It's hard for him to take in the fact that he now has not one but two grandsons and that his daughter is dead alongside his wife. He sits on the sofa with his head in his hands and just listens.

"What similar power?" he hears Aphmau ask Ghost.

"Realm Breaking powers." he hears Ghost answers.

"Shad's power?" Lucinda asks.

She's heard of Shad the Destroyer curtesy of her mother, Hyria, who she's convinced is actually friends with Irene because Hyria talks about Irene a lot.

Ghost nods. "Like the Realm Breaker, Shad's relic that was gifted to him by Irene, was shattered into three pieces but nobody's ever found those pieces. If someone did, they'd have fame and glory just for finding them."she explains what she knows.

"Three pieces? How do we find these three pieces?" Aphmau jumps up at the sound to do anything to help Aaron and Blade.

"That's the thing, they've been hidden for decades. As I said before, nobody's ever found them." Ghost says. "Sorry." Kim adds, once Ghost stops taking over.

Her eyes revert back to their normal coloring of dark amber. Aphmau sighs and gives her a small smile. "It's okay, Kim." she whispers.
