Lord Shadow

CHATHAM ISLAND

NEW ZEALAND

The melody has stopped ringing. Like he was released from an eternal torture, he struggles to get up.

He grabs the branches of dead tree beside him and force himself to stand up. His ears and eyes are bleeding red human blood.

‘Shit, this human will was awakened. Hmph’ he said as he snorted and spits out the blood that gathered in his mouth.

The moment Azief pushes that Wheel outside the world and into that Void Space he summons, the melody stops.

The sky is still red, and the thunder is still roaring and the wind is still raging but at least that melody is no longer playing.

He felt damages have been done to his soul and he could feel he had lost something. He just didn’t know what

His silver hair turns white and then the moment he got back control it turned back silver. This man is Yewa Hafar.

He gritted his teeth and felt a foreboding omen that is building in his heart. His premonition is rarely wrong

What happen when I was incapacitated? There must be something he thought to himself. There is this feeling of unease in his heart.

This feeling elicited a dangerous response that is even bigger than the feeling of unease he felt when God of Time Jean decide to alter the Laws of Time of All Universes to send back Loki to the past.

Getting up he felt his knees is about to buckle down as he sit down on the large boulder beside the dead branch.

The pain he felt before sapped all of his vitality and even his soul is damaged. To recover would take a lot of time and delays his plans.

His vessel soul has also awakened somewhat. He is suppressed now but now that one part of himself is able to awake if it is given a chance….and that is a big problem.

‘This is troublesome’ Yewa Hafar said to himself.

Then talking a deep calm breath, he calms himself down before asking himself a very important question.

‘Did…..he found something? Or is he planning something new?’ Yewa Hafar asked himself. This feeling of unease…could it be coming from the deeds of The Trickster?

His eyes turn sharp and then he said

‘If my feeling of unease comes from you….then I just need to find it out. Did you move a chess piece or are you intending to take one of my chess pieces, Loki?’ He smiles like he is enjoying it.

He didn’t know whether the feeling of unease he is feeling is because of Loki or someone else but he is quiet confident that the only one that could elicited such a foreboding feeling of danger right now in this world is only Loki.

It is because Loki knows who he is and what he is trying to do.

He looks at the sky and saw the red sky and it reminded him of the days of the Final Battle. Red blood sky and destruction all over the Universe.

A wind blows over him and he felt shivers. Like a premonition of something is about to change. An omen of difficult days ahead.

And Yewa Hafar smirks.

TURKEY

SOMEWHERE IN ANKARA

A tube falls down from the chute. When it is thrown into the chute from one part of the other chute in another country or building it will arrive in this secret building.

TTING!

The tube arrived at the destination as the notification sounded. In this large but dark room there is only one old man.

The old man look toward that chute exit and he seems to be feeling something is wrong.

‘Hah’ he sighed. An old man wearing a monocle glass got up from his seat slowly holding his back and took the chute.

He opens the tube. Inside that tube is a name. He unfurled the scrolls in that tube and read the name of the new target.

And then his eyes widened.

‘Well…is this really the target? Is the HQ going crazy’ the old man said to himself. The organization has never had any conflict with that person and it has always been a policy of this organization not to try to stir any conflict with that person.

He tightly holds the scroll in his hand as he rushed to his seat and quickly called HQ.

‘Is the Higher up really intending to target this person?’ He ask the moment he was connected to one of the higher ups

‘Hmm. Hmm. Hmm’ The old man nodded his head as he listens to the higher ups. Then he sighed.

‘I will relay the orders to the Operatives in the Field. But….this intel better be good. Or we will be sending our operatives to their death’

The old man then enters a chamber. In this chamber there are many new techs and there is a sci-fi feeling just by looking at this room design and the things contained inside it.

The old man went to The Seat. It is somewhat throne looking seat. However instead of being made of marble stone or stone throne seat it is made of wires and electronic devices.

He sits himself on that throne as something from the chair jutted out. It is an electrical cord that looks like a snake as it rises up.

Then it pierced itself onto the hole on top of the old man head as his eyes turns cloudy and he lean down on the throne.

His mind travel the whole world as it connected with all of the announcement device in other secret buildings of the organization that is spread out all over the world.

His voice then announced, as all of the organization devices picked up his announcement

‘A new target has been decided. Danger level: SSS+. The organization has decided to accept the job. There is only a limited time window for us to finish this task as the condition of the target is only vulnerable for now. One must departed now after getting the task. The completion reward is posted along with the target location later’

The many operative listening to this announcement was shocked. Is there someone that has designated SSS+ danger level before in their job?

This might be the first time in the organization history. They all perked up their ears to hear the name of the target. This kind of target could not be someone unknown.

‘Your new target is Death Monarch’ and hearing this all of the operative went silent. They look at each other and slowly they gulped.

Then the announcement ended.

Outside, the world could still even hear the defiant laugh of the Death Monarch towards the Heaven.

While Azief is fighting the whole world di not entirely stops and dark forces are gathering around him without his knowledge. Anyway, next chapter would probably mark the end of this long battle.
