CHAPTER – 8
(You've gotta be kidding me!)
[SKILL : VEIL OF THE SEVENTH COMMANDER]
[To copy this skill you need to be at least half level of the owner.]
(No way dude....)
"Hey John what's the matter??"
"Nothing Syd...I just hate Daniel."
Daniel with a disgusted face.
"AND...why is that!!?"
"Nothing...."
"Weirdo!"
(I need to level u quickly or I wont be able to copy any high level skills.)
"Anyways….John and Daniel you both! I need clothes! Weve been in these for 3 days straight."
"Yeah I do agree with Syd. You wanna come with us Daniel??"
"Sure!!!"
All three of them went to buy some clothes. First John came out of the dressing room.
"Hey guys how do I look??"
"Trash!"
"What?!"
"She's joking John you look good!"
A dark and high-collared coat with heavy and disciplined fabric, John adjusted the collar of his new coat, the heavy fabric sitting against him like armor stitched for war.. Then Syd comes out of the dressing room.
"You both better be honest or ill snap your necks!"
"I-Its fantastic, really!"
"Yah he's right!"
John adjusted the collar of his new coat, the heavy fabric sitting against him like armor stitched for war. Finally Daniel comes out of the dressing room.
"So? Any words??"
"Just PEAK!"
"Yeah you look good Daniel!"
A long black coat with shoulders looking burdened by responsibility. A strong yet steady fabric gave a dominating yet calm vibes.
"Well then now we are done shopping clothes! What should we do?!?"
"Daniel?? Any bright ideas??"
"Wait a sec…..i want to have a talk with John, if its okay??"
"Yeahh sure take your time!"
Daniel and John's 'serious' conversation begins.
"Yeah what was that you wanted to talk about??
"What's the relation between you and Syd??"
"W-What's this out of blue now!?"
"Just answer me dude!"
"Well...."
"Well what??"
"She is like a part of me. The part that I cant let go."
"That's….something. So do you like her??"
"Well...
"Nothing much. But...Hey! I have another question."
"Yeah what is it??"
"In the future…..If something ever happens to me, will you protect me??"
"Again an out of the blue question!!! But.....yeah if it comes to that Ill protect you. I promise!!!"
As John promises Daniel. Somewhere in the world of Rimora…..a ring floating on a pillar rotates again. John feels anxious again. His heartbeat rises.
(What is this feeling!?! It's tearing me from inside! It happened last time too!!!)
"Hey John! What's the matter!?! You okay??"
"Yeah...I must be tired that's all."
"Yeah lets go to Syd!"
After that they went to the hotel room to rest for a while. Meanwhile a mysterious shadowy humanoid figure walks towards the PILLAR OF CALAMITY. The pillar recognizes the figure.
"HEY! LONG TIME NO SEE! LOOKS LIKE YOU FELT IT HAPPENING."
"Of course I did. It's the RING OF CALAMITY after all. It rotated twice, that's way too often. Whoever is behind the cause of rotation is a 'FUTURE CALAMITY'. Its been a while since I've faced real challenge."
"I KNOW THAT, I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT FIGHT. IM CURIOUS HOW YOU GODS WILL BE PERFORMING AGAINST THE CALAMITY."
The mysterious figure is revealed to be a God.
"Whatever it is...ill be closely monitoring you and the RING."
The God flashes away.
(YEAH WE WILL SEE….YOU FOOL. ILL MAKE SURE YOU NEVER SEE THE CALAMITY FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.)
At the mean time. John ask Daniel to train him.
"Train you?"
"Yeah I wanna become at least a level 500!"
"Huh? How come?"
"I...I want to…..protect."
"Protect who??"
"I don't know probably anyone I see in danger."
"Well this is not a reason to become stronger.."
"Huh?"
"You see if someone is on the verge of death…..even with full strength…..i cannot save them because it's the fate that makes people die not our incompetency. I will train you but if you couldn't save someone then will it be your incompetency or their fate??"
"But the thing Is I at least want to TRY to protect someone even if it's the last thing I do. I agree that its there fate and that they couldn't be saved, so if we know it cant we at least give it a show. Who knows maybe we can change the fate of a person??"
Daniel chuckles. As if he sees himself in John.
"Fine....ill train you!"
"YAYAY!!!"
(Now ill be able to reach level 500 and copy his VEIL!!!. This copy skill is the best!!!)
"And John!"
"Yeah??"
"What you said about fate....lemme correct you. It CANNOT be changed.
PILLAR OF CALAMITY LAUGHS LOUDLY.
"OH DANIEL….WE WILL SEE ABOUT THAT!!!"
