Black & Silver

Chapter 4

Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang...

The sound of chains echoed throughout the underground cells. Within the deepest parts of underground, echoes of screams and shouts rang loud as prisoners bang on the bars, demanding to be released. 

The guards ignored the surrounding commotion, as they escorted two boys down the tunnel. Both are heavily chained and restrained, as they drag the chains the sound echoed...

Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang...

The boys didn't struggle, they just walk with an eerie smile.

The guards tried to hide their fear. They can sense the danger lurking around the boys. They are far too calm and far to... Cheerful.

'Hey Fovos, where'd you think they taking us?'

They have identical looks, eerie white hair and a pale skin to match. The only difference is the eyes are of different colors.

'I guess, it's time for execution~ Ponos have you ever been to?' One has blue shocking eyes, the other a glimming red.

'Didn't they tried this? The people in our village?'

'Yeah~ so many many years ago!'

They giggled and chuckled as the chains echoed.

Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang...

The guards are getting nervous. They always do when they get around the boys.

'How did they try to execute us? Do you remember Fovos?'

'Hmm, they tried to... Burn! Yes they did, they prepared such a big pile of fire...'

'And they pushed us in...'

Suddenly the boys stopped moving. 'Move you maniacs!!' The guards start shoving and threatening them. But they stood there and laughed and giggled again.

'BUT THE LORD SIRIUS SAVED US'

And the walls cracked.

An invisible force blasted the guards away from the boys, as they smiled and hold each other's hands. 'Come Fovos, Lord Sirius has summoned us now.' He pointed at the cracks forming.

'Yes Ponos, let's go~' They watched a portal formed itself in front of them, and a hand reached out for them to hold.

'Come now my children, for I have come for you.'

The news of the breakout was not released to the public, but was only told to important personnel. There has never been a breakout before, and the Royal Mages wanted to avoid a public panic.

But they did tell me about it. So to say security became tighter to ensure no unhappy accidents will happen.

The Mages kept their promise and have been keeping a decent low profile. They disguised as assistants and helpers of professors and the various school caretakers.

How I notice? They all have the same solemn expression around me.

No stress right?

Ever since the meeting with the Oracle, everything went back to normal. I thought. If having multiple invisible bodyguards is normal then yes, my life is back to normal. I went back to classes like nothing happened after I am fully recovered, I ditched some like normal, went to work like normal. The only thing I couldn't do like normal was attending hoverboard tournaments, since it is actually illegal to attend events with money betting involved. But it is one of my crucial financial income... This is troubling.
