Daphtus: Draggon Boy (Book 2)

Chapter 8 - The Start of Chaos

Hana's POV:

"I was what?!" I exclaimed in shock. Well, as much as I can in such a tired state. 

"Unable to be contacted for a couple of hours. Arthur had suggested to go over and check on you, but Samuel insisted that you were fine and needed some time alone," Ana explained. Samuel nodded. 

"What happened while I was...unavailable?" I asked. "There were sketchy looking people, and we tried to investigate, but when we got close to them, they were gone without a trace," Kay explained with a pissed off expression. 

"What were you doing anyways?" Arthur asked me. I told them what happened. Hikari had said to only tell those I trust the most, and I trust my roommates and the boys most. 

"A visit to the deepest part of the Astral Realm?" Cass confirmed and I nodded. "And someone else who is from another world? And she said you've made contact with her when you triggered the Book of Storia?" Connor confirmed as well. I nodded. 

"Other worlds do exist in Storia. But I didn't know other people were chosen by the goddess as well," Kay said.

"What do you mean?" Evan asked as we all looked at Kay. 

"It's like the master of magic in other worlds. And that phrase 'World Clashing'? Travelers do it all the time. Even Arthur here got some information for the Legion because of traveling to other worlds," Kay explained and Arthur nodded in agreement. 

"But Hikari said to not clash worlds," I argued. "I think she means to not leak any information about other worlds existing and not visiting them any time soon," Arthur replied.

"This Hikari person is the chosen one from her world?" Connor asked. "She said that the goddess resonates mostly in her. So I guess so," I replied. 

"Back to the point, everyone. Hikari said that something bad is happening in Daphtus. I'm guessing it's gotta be related to those suspicious people," Kay said clapping her hands for attention. 

"It is pretty obvious," Ana agreed. She looked at Cass at the corner of the room. "You still talking to him?" 

Cass didn't reply. 

"Yep, still talking to him."

"Mars?" I asked Ana who nodded. "Still crush phase though. They need time," she said. 

"I say we discuss with Amelia about what's going on," Samuel suggested. "Of course. We always go to my sister. Let's go," Arthur said standing up. 

"Can I skip this one? I'm really exhausted," I said. "Yeah, I think it may be best if you do. Don't wanna risk you out of energy when you need it the most," Kay said as I nodded. 

"Let's all get dinner. Amelia said she's busy with a couple of things," Arthur said pocketing his phone. 

We decided to get some healthy food. Arthur insisted on something healthy, especially since I'm drained. Luckily, there's this place where they sell healthy food, not just plain salad, but a healthy diet. 

It's a wonder why we never visit that place more often. 

I didn't really know what to order and the walk there had made me more tired, so I told Arthur to order for me. 

The waiter left with our order and Arthur turned to me. "How you doing?" he asked as I leaned on his shoulder. "Tired," I replied, "and hungry." 

Arthur nodded and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. 

I shut my eyes and almost fell into sleep. I realized that I was about to drift off and opened my eyes. "It's alright, Hana. I'll wake you up when the food comes," Arthur said and I closed my eyes again.
