Chapter 23: Home

'Learn to hide your trace, then I will give you permission.' Axel responds to me in a reluctant tone, his answer making me grow happy.

"Thank you!" I beamed, shifting my attention onto Celest before continuing, "Axel said yes, as long as you teach me how to cover my tracks."

Celest grins, "Oh that will be simple. Us Cryptsin were made to run, not so much fight. But we can fight when we have to. At our full potential, we have the power to destroy archangels, shift mountains and cause disasters. I guess that's why God created the Shadow Reapers, knowing we could become so powerful." She laughs.

My eyes widen in shock, unable to believe what she is saying, "...We can destroy archangels...?!"

Celest laughs at my words, "Of course. It is believed that the most powerful of us may even have the potential to destroy God itself."

Her words surprise me further, my curiosity rising, "How many Cryptsin are there in the world? Which ones are the most powerful?"

Celest smirks, "Well, there are about two-hundred of us. The most powerful of our species, is our bloodline. You, me, and our brother."

Eyes wide, I find myself at a loss for words, "...A-Alexander was right...our father also told me that he would make me the strongest Cryptsin in existence..."

Celest chuckles, "Hasn't containment trained you enough? Alexander tried to make you into a weapon, and he succeeded. I can sense the overwhelming amount of power within you, yet you don't know how to unleash it?"

Listening to her words, I recall my time in captivity, "...Alexander wanted to limit how much power he allowed me to use in fights. I don't think he ever wanted me to use the entirety of my power in fear of what I may do with it. He wanted to use me to fight and destroy his enemies for him, to be entirely loyal to him like a zombie...the enemies he spoke of must have been...the Galileus." Slowly I shift my gaze onto Axel, who is listening with hidden interest.

Celest becomes mildly surprised, "That makes sense. It's funny, because you're now on the Galileus side, against him. Does he know you are with this..." she trails off, looking over Axel while thinking of a name to call him that would bother him, "...Gargoyle beast?"

Her label makes me laugh, Axel growls at her, "I don't think he knows. Axel has been keeping me under their radar very well. Anyway...you said I have a brother?"

Celest laughs, "Now you bring that up? I said that a while ago. And yes, you do. Your brother's name is Brandon, you and him were very close most of your life, as well as me, obviously." She smirks.

"Where is he?" I wonder, becoming anxious to meet him.

"At home, where he usually is." She responds in a tone of annoyance.

"...The Labyrinth...right?" The words come to me again.

She smirks at me, "Yes. That is our home."

Growing curious, I begin to ask her the first of many questions I have, "Where is home? Where is the Labyrinth?"

She giggles, "That is a discussion for another time. Let's go see your house, your monster looks to be impatient." She winks at him, suddenly our surroundings change in the blink of an eye.
