Dead Birthday's

Chapter 2 : Encounter Part 3

High Spirit of Dead Manes POV:

A tense atmosphere covered one room, where the walls were covered by a black sky full of stars, with an enormous round table in the middle, which could fill dozens of people, but only a finger count was present. "It looks like you look thrilled Manes, I heard you found your holder." A short hair woman covered by vines asked me.

Twin tail hair woman whose body is like a twisting wind, surprise standing while slapping the table with both hands asked. "How do you know that he is happy, Ara?" She points her index finger towards my face who is sitting next to her. "Manes has no face!"

I crossed my arms while nodding. "As usual, you always know very well about me, Ara." I compliment Ara for her understanding of myself.

"Be more heedful, Vayu." My words made Vayu angry at me like a child.

With clenched fists, an impatient muscle man flame covering almost all his body including his mustache, hit the table very hard. "Enough talking like trash! Just start this meeting!".

A sigh breath came out of the beautiful long hair woman whose water surrounds her breath. "You just do not have the patience, as usual, Agni!" She said while shaking her head.

"Well, only a few are present and others are absent, which means disagreeing with what we decide." a wise-looking man whose entire body filled with electricity interrupted the talk.

"I'm Indra and I will lead today's meeting. We will discuss our rule for the holders and high spirit!" He's standing and starts the meeting, glares at me and says. "Even though Manes already got the Holder first."

Because of that, everyone present was staring at me. "Hmph!" I show my proud face, even Though my face is covered by a skeleton mask and covered again by my dark aura, so it is not visible to some people, but again Ara knows what expression that I made.

After that, the meeting ran for a dozen hours. Which ended with all who were present in agreeing.

Mort Krueger POV:

The last teacher left the class. I took my bag and walked out the classroom door. Before that, I glanced at Lynn, who was storing books in her bag. I wanted to talk to her, but now I have to put this first.

I went straight to the place where they sell contact lenses, and I bought one, which matches the color of my right eye.

After buying it, I started heading back home. But something caught my sight, stopped me from stepping forward and made me feel the goosebumps see what's in front of me.

A short and dark furry shape like a basketball, with only its mouth showing and its tongue leaking out of its mouth. That is also another creature standing in front of a shop. I try to pretend I didn't see it and walk casually past it. So, that creature doesn't notice me.

Eventually, I arrived home safely.

---

The moonlight shines so brightly on the black sky. In my room, I'm opening the bandages. Slowly put in contact lenses I had just bought while facing the mirror, using my trembling index finger to place it on my left eye.

This is the first time I've put contact lenses on my eyes, so it felt terrifying that something was touching my eye.

Safely, the contact lens successfully attached. I look at myself in the mirror to see if the color of the eyes matches the color.

Hmm... This is perfect! Feeling relieved, I can see using my two eyes from now on.

"It looks like you are doing well, my lord!"

Finally, Manes appeared! But this time the voice I heard was not through my mind but through my ears.

An atmosphere of piercing senses like a freezing cold was all around me. Make me feel that there's something behind me.

I saw a black cloak hoodie person who we can see his face covered by a dark aura with a skeleton mask inside the dark aura, also with one orange eye shining around his face. See him standing behind me through the mirror. Instantly I turned my body around one hundred eighty degrees.

I became silent, staring at the appearance of that person.

I see...

This is Manes appearance! Bowing in front of me. "Finally, we meet, my lord!"
