EP - 7 Origins

 Keet .......Keet was enjoying living a simple life he was a simple college student who owned a book store who was about to surprise the one he loves with a small gift of flowers and truth, when he arrived at her house there she was with a few family members and  two of her known friends and a guy he sees for the second time of his life but he was on his knees for some reason that Keet -didn't understand in the beginning- but soon he could when Jolly was so happily shown her finger to everyone around. Keet dropped the flowers and rushed on the other direction in speed he couldn't understand until he reached a mountain cliff -where he used to observe the sunset on- he was barely breathing but not because he was running or the height but because he lost his reason to live that life, call him crazy but she was the reason he's alive, he literary hated everything until they met, all his rage against the world -and that storm that killed his parents at the monolith a long time ago and his trial before the counsel of order that pounded him and lost most of his powers away - melt before her eyes and made him alive, when the world blacked in his eyes and he became a night hunter just to give the order a reason to put him down she changed him and made him just want to spend the rest of his time with her but now just like every good thing in his life she's gone too and for the second time in his entire life he doesn't have the power to hold his tears anymore so he found himself on his knees looking at the sunset and crying like a child.                        

                ............................................

 Beautiful, did you know that the sunset is the only time a day when you can look at the sun without burning your eyes?Said a voice coming from a man standing not far from Keet's left but the voice wasn't familiar however the words were So Keet turned to the man and looked at him but his face was half shadowed by the nightfall but his majestic long coat was very familiar, it was the same man from his home who gave him the black coat that protected him from plague's attack and disappeared.but why now ?. Keet asked.

and the man said: you can't forgive and you can't forget i told you, didn't I?

Keet stood up and wiped his tears and said: I didn't forgive...

The man interrupted him saying: but you did forget, you were saved and given a great gift and you were asked for one thing in return, revenge...and after a short pause, he continued: and you promised me so it's your mission now, you have to understand that they're running free in the world now and the only one who can stop them is you, for now, you have greater power than they will ever know but you'll have to decide now are you a broken teenager or are you Lord Keet son of Lord Martin son of Lord Aaron Black the raigo Lord and one of the legendary 8 Lords a who stood against evil in the times of the great war. Keet was moved by the man's great speech and he seemed to have forgotten his sorrows for a moment when he said: I'm the last of my family, but I'm not the Shadow Lord, true iam strong, I have no match and if it moves I can kill it but I'm not one of the 9 Lord so ..... Wait a second what's my mission exactly and who are "they"?

The man's face was about to explode from the shock that Keet just dropped on him but he gathered all the patience he had left and said: ok let's start from the very beginning...………………………………

a long time ago at the first age, some say they came to our world and some said they were here long before humans time no one knows where they came from or what are they exactly, powerful spirits that can transform and alter their forms they hold great abilities-some of them were able to take animal shapes and some of them can summon lightning and some of them could make the land shakes and make tsunami- lived among us, they were called many things but the most known name was the spirits, and for a while, they lived among us in harmony.in that time Alongside humanity lived two races, the mysticals who were the only families of sorcerers and wizards possessing the ancient secrets of pending the natural forces and harnessing its energy, and the celestial dragons who watch over the world from the high peaks of the eastern mountains, in that time the human emperors and the greatest leaders of the earth had a wizard minister assigned by the mystical clans to be a protector and the connection between human emperors.One day in ancient Egyptian a pharaoh named Lord Exodius decided to change everything  , he had an unknown special connection with the spirits and was able to communicate with them and one day he revealed to the world that they had the ability of being united with human bodies but when they do the spirits became a reflection of the host and so their powers as well and the world called the chosen ones to adapt the powers half demons, Lord Exodius had a dream of a better world built on the shoulders of  humans united with the demon powers of the spirits unaware that the greed and miss guidance of humanity can prove him wrong but for a short time and that new world was peaceful until a greedy wizard called Lord Magus who desired to rule the world came, he first tempted the half demons by making them promises of powers and those who didn't swore loyalty to him were killed and he used his influence on the humans and told them that the half demons and wizards will rise against them and that started a war that shacked the very balance of the world and it was a beginning of new era , an era of chaos and wars and destruction.That deceitful war lasted for a while but the wizard's trick came to an end when balance tended to fight back, when a half demon died his familiar spirit don't die with him it finds a new suitable host and merge with him and he becomes a new half demon but unlike the old ones not allof them swore loyalty to Lord Magus so the war continued. until the wisest of the demons and humans and magicians even the celestial dragons fought and came together and put their differences aside and formed the first alliance ever known -the counsel- and restored order of the world and defeated the dark wizard and his armies, there were 5 half demons in that counsel and the strongest wizard of the mage in that time and the powerful king of the celestial dragons and a human emperor and for their great powers they were called the Lords for they were the most powerful among there people so they were chosen as the world's leaders for a long time and Lord Exodiusand the counsel built a city that contains the demons and forged a barrier between the humanity and the demonic city and called it the dark void. So Lord Exodius combined his powers and the powers of the other Lords to forge a very powerful weapon that can force all the demon spirits to obey the wielder hand of it but only a one of the Lords can wield it but it was kept in secret, and the Lords after that appointed one of them to be the ruler and the keeper of that dimensional city and he was the 9th Lord and the commander of the most powerful army ever known to humanity. And the counsel then choose the bravest human soldiers and the mage forged them weapons powered by magic and they were called the holly knights army, and the weapon was buried in Lord Exodius's tomb and the counsel of Lords became the counsel of order and was trusted it to the mage and the holly knights and the celestials  to observe the dark void as it was named, but at latter times Lord Magus returned but this time he was in the counsel and desired to use the weapon to take a set on top of the entire world and all the worlds but he couldn't find it so he unleashed the demons of the dark void and allowing them to inhibit humanity again by making deals with them promising them power and authority in his new bloody world and he even corrupted the purpose of the holly knights making them his own army allowing them to lay havoc and chaos upon the world and there was the great war that ended by his lose and disappearance again.

And now it's happening and the counsel it self is corrupted even the 9 Lords are  and the Dragons returned to their high mountains leaving the world behind at the prank of chaos. But I was there when your Barents found the sarcophagus, there was something about you, my Lord's demon power left him when he passed and I knew right away that a Lord was born, see my Lord was the first half-demon Lord that was why he had a connection with the spirits and for years he was trying to solve that mystery why he was so strong even for the spirits his power was one of the strongest ever and that was rare and when my Lord died his demon power was buried with him until one day your Barents came to the tomb it choosed you and that's why plague came to kill you but I gave you the old coat of the demon Lord of the first counsel - it was made to harvest the power of the demon Lord himself to protect his daughter after he dies- for it gives immunity from all the demon powers as my minotaur instructed me to do before he died, so you see this dark powers you have my Lord had before you but he used it for good so now what will you do what will you do?                                               

              ..................................................

And It was the sunrise now above that mountain cliff and the man had finished his story and left Keet processing the world's problems that are bigger than his broken heart now and he turned to the man to ask him: but I'm bound.....But there was no one there except his loyal Friend Leo and the man had disappeared into the thin air leaving him to decide who he is................. 

Ep – 8 the dark Lord

 

it was half-past 4 am in that night inside Luke's office and the light was a little low considering that he was reading that old leather book that Rainbow gave him the other night.

 

……………………………..

 

a long time ago at the first age, some say they came to our world and some said they were here long before humans time no one knows where they came from or what are they exactly, powerful spirits that can transform and alter their forms they hold great abilities-some of them were able to take animal shapes and some of them can summon lightning and some of them could make the land shakes and make tsunami- lived among us, they were called many things but the most known name was the spirits, and for a while, they lived among us in harmony.

But today I met one of them at the monolith land, I don't know exactly what was it doing there but I think it saw me too.

Today I saw it again but this time I'm certain of it , it saw me and it followed me.

Today the most impossible thing has happened I was in the caves admiring the work of my ancestors and my seizure came to me and I fainted and I woke up to find myself trapped under a huge stone and my leg was crushed underneath it but I saw it there in the dark he was looking at me for too long I think he was waiting for me to ask him for help……..

…………………………………..

And the next few pages of the book were missing and Luke was left with many questions, who wrote this and what does it have to do with Keet and Rainbow?

Too many questions but no answers…….

………………………………………

 

The next morning was bleak and depressing and Keet was in the store doing nothing but smoking when Rainbow suddenly entered and saw him drowning in his self-pity so like a normal person she asked : wanna talk about it?

And unlike a normal person, he didn't even respond at all he just turned over and gave her a cold look as if he was telling her to leave him alone for a while but she wasn't going to so she kept talking about friends and hopes and we all know that supporting speech but Keet wasn't exactly listening, his mind was straying elsewhere remembering the past few days…………..

 

……………………………………

 

Two days ago……..

Keet has just finished squeezing the life out of this man throw his neck and was turning over to the other guy who was crawling away after Keet broke his left leg until he found out that it's no use for Keet kept approaching him slowly as he weasels and the guy said: wait man just wait I have no idea where they took him but I can give you the address we dropped him at if you let me go.

Keet was lighting one of his cigarettes while he was listening to the guy and he waited until he was finished and said: I hated everything you just said but we have a deal.

The poor guy gave him the address and when he finished he could swear that a strange-looking gun painted in gold came out of nowhere in Keet's hand –the gun was golden painted and swift shaped and its barrel was tripled vertically and in the end of the 3^rd down barrel there was a small really sharp blade- the gun itself seemed antique but from the future at the same time but that black bullet surrounded by blue flames was the last thing he has ever seen in his hall life...        

Keet had arrived at the unknown address after nightfall and he was lighting a cigarette as he was staring at the front door of that vintage house in the middle of nowhere before he decided to knock, at first there was no sign of anyone at the house but Keet was patient and eventually, the door opened by mid-twenties woman with an endearing smile on her face but she wasn't worried about that late-night visitor and she quietly said: can I help you?

Keet wasn't that kind of a guy who worries about anything but he was smart enough to understand that there's something wrong but he put a smile on and sarcastically said: hi sorry to bother but I was wondering if Brad Bit is living here?

And his smile was getting larger while the girl was still processing his question but that moment he had heard those heavy steps behind him and that cold axe on his neck and a deep unfriendly voice of a huge man saying: beat it or lose it punk.

Keet wasn't that kind of people that take a threat or an insult lightly so he turned around to the big man and he must have sensed the three others in the house but that didn't matter at all to him as he says: I'm so sorry if I look like a guy who can take threats from the likes of you but as you should know mate appearances are sometimes deceitful…

And by the time he finished his line his fists were holding the axe and the man's whole face at once throwing the axe at the girl behind and smacking the man to the ground so strongly that his blood splashed to a wide area and at the meantime the axe was in one of the guys behind the girl and the poor third guy thought that he can surprise Keet by hiding behind the door and attack him but as Keet was entering the house his left hand didn't just pierce the door grapping the guy but it also pierced his chest ripping his heart out and dropping him on the floor alongside of the other two, Keet had almost forgot about the girl until she launched out of the house screaming and running like really fast but his instincts were faster he took his gun that shows up from nowhere and shot here so accurately that her body dropped instantly in the middle of the street.

Meanwhile, Ray was there in the basement tied to a chair and listening to all that action and screams upstairs that terrified his guard the final guy who took his shotgun and aimed it to the upstairs door leading to the basement that was the only entrance to the room but the anticipated attack came from the least expected corner behind him at the form of tow hands breaking his neck muscles and then the unknown saviour for Ray untied him and pointed him to the door and disappeared the same way he appeared leaving him wondering what da hell just happened and why but it was not a bad closer for a very crazy weekend.

 

 

………………………………………

 

 

Keet had only one question in mind, what if he didn't simply save him, what if he just left him to his fate at the cursed cycle, maybe then Jolly would still be with him?

But his thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Leo scratching the door of the store indicating that someone's outside but it was just the mailman slipping an invitation to Jolly's engagement party tonight and it was after sunrise and Rainbow was sleeping at the chair so he woke her up and closed the book store with the drag door for the first time in a while which means that he doesn't intend to open it for some time maybe because he thought that he just lost the battle of his heart but what he didn't know at that time is that real battle of a different sort and a very deferent type of enemies are about to begin.

 

 

……………………………..

 

Later that night….

outside a recently burned house stood two men one of them was a normal look-alike street thug kind of and the other was a good dresser with an aristocratic cane that made him look like the 19^th century wealthy men but the scars on his face didn't match a normal easy wealthy life who after a while of silence said: so he killed my favourite bounty hunter and 15 of my best men and took away a man that I worked very hard to kidnap and burned down a house filled with 2 million dollars coke and he just walked away, and you thought it was a good idea to ruin my night by telling me that now?

the thug's words were choking down his throat as he was trying to defend himself saying: boss I…..

but he never had the chance to finish because his boss unleashed a snow blizzard out of his hand that froze him completely and said: don't worry about it, guess I'll have to  deal with this mystery man myself then.

 

( The End of Season 1 )

Ep_ 6 The ‎cursed ‎cycle

the night was young and the wind was light in that complicated long street that jolly and keet were driving at, the roads looked like a giant maze and that back alley was even worst and keet had no idea why was she so mad or where were they going, too many questions he had in his mind but he couldn't ask any of them until the car finally stopped. 

                                   .............................................

the place they parked at was like a medium-sized stadium but it wasn't for football or baseball for the tracks were round and the roads were vertically striped. 

there was a drive way leads inside but it's ground wasn't leveled for cars so Jolly and Keet walked in while Keet was still understanding what's going on Jolly had arrived to her destination which was a guy sitting in the front line of a low sitting row on the first chair on the right who didn't even stand up when he saw her or even move, he just turned his head to her and smiled while she took it all out over him, 

the guy listened until she finished and left and Keet is  finnaly beginning to understand, the place was a horse race trail that's why the drive way wasn't for cars it was for horses to walk on it in and out but it's strange to be under the ground like that maybe it is for illegal  gambling or something but the most strange thing was the people  watching the race they were all quiet and eagering for something some of them were looking to Keet and Jolly and some were not even interested of the hall thing, Keet's mind was full and had too many questions going on but one thing made it all go away when he looked at a woman holding a book and patrols between the lines,she triggered an old familiar feeling  inside of him as she walks by the lines, she was some kind of a setting visor or an organizer for no one dared to leave his set near her and clearly they all feared her. 

Jolly was just leaving the place and Keet saw the guy following her with his eyes and he seemed worried from something for his eyes were between Jolly and the horse arena, and suddenly a familiar voice inside Keet's head said: you two must leave this place now. 

Keet knew what that meant but he had to get her out first so he grabbed her hand and started rushing outside and said to the voice: what is this place? 

Jolly was trying to keep up with him when she asked: what's the hurry for?  

they had just arrived to the car which was the only one in the parking area and Keet said: you go ahead I'm gonna stay here for a while, I'll see you tomorrow then, bye. 

and he rushed back inside before she even gets a chance to reply and left her wondering about it. 

                                         ........................ 

as soon as keet got back in the drive was started to go up like an old castle draw bridge except this one had no chains or a door frame or anything holding it at all and as soon it was up there the hall place stared sinking under the ground and Keet said: there goes the escape plane. 

and he lighted up a cigarette and started to wonder inside the place. 

                                                 .......................... 

Keet wondered inside the place and he noticed that the horse race began but these horses were different than the ones he saw earlier the new horses were dead and all skeleton and the race had no finish line and that guardian women multiplied and became more bail and the people became frustrated as if they were prisoners in this place, so Keet went to the only guy he knew of this infernal place. 

the guy wasn't as frustrated as the others but as Keet was getting close to him he noticed that the women became more aware of him but he did not stop even when the voice shouted at him: stop. 

Keet wasn't gonna stop until he understands what's going on here

he took a set next to Jolly's friend but the guy didn't even notice him not until he tapped his shoulders the guy woke up and asked him: why are you still here? 

Keet: I needed to know who are you and why are you here and what happened and what's this place? 

Guy: slow down man, listen we don't have much time we need to get you out of here before one of the sentinels notice you. 

Keet: oh you mean one of these women haha I'll break her neck if she touched me. 

Guy: they're really strong man and even if you can another one will take her place, and we need to get you out without a noise... 

Keet: I had a getting out plane but the entrance got closed and the whole place was buried in the ground. 

the Guy: it opens again every one lap cycle that's our window. 

Keet: when is that? 

Guy: no one knows but the horses stop when it happens but it's a mess. 

Keet: what are you doing here?  

Guy: I was tricked by a friend who owed Infernos. 

Keet: so your friend traded you for money? what a dick. 

Guy: no Infernos doesn't deal in money he deals in souls and my friend lost his in a bit. 

Keet: so he traded you instead, when we get out I'll kill him. 

Guy: you have to get out the First man. 

Keet: huh don't you worry about us we will get out mate. 

Keet's optimism was too much but something in his words made the Guy believe him and he finally saw an opportunity to leave this hellish place. 

                                 ......................................... 

They don't know how long time have passed but they talked too much about many things waiting for the loop to open, Keet now knows that the guy's name is Raymond and that he and Jolly had tow dates before he disappeared in that's why she was so mad at him and he has no idea how she found him here also that this Infernos guy is another demon familiar or maybe a demon Lord considering that he's too pwerfull and that he owned the whole area for too long but he still somehow thinks that he can defeat him, and Ray now knows that Keet is Jolly's best friend and that he stayed behind to help him because he had a strange feeling about this place thoug he didn't understand how Keet isn't afraid of this place and that he thinks that he can beat Infernos who owned this area for the last 100 years and has an army of creatures no one knows what are they exactly but Ray is optimistic as well however that Keet was born with no planning skills what's so ever but he will stop at nothing to do what he said he will do. 

and finally, the horses stopped and people started running everywhere and the sentinels were preventing some and leaving some no one understood why but maybe some people were not meant to leave this place, Keet and Ray ran to the front until they almost reached the drawing door but one of the sentinels stopped them saying with an ugly voice: only you may leave Black but he won't. 

Keet wasn't the kind to take no for an answer so he said: out of our way women we're leaving. 

Keet's eyes were changing but that infernal sentinels didn't seem to care why she stayed in there way and her body colour changed to silver and her eyes blanked as she said: you may leave demon your soul doesn't belong here but his does. 

Keet didn't seem to have even heard her when he launched forward and pushed her out of the way but the outcome was really surprising, although Keet was the one to push the silver women he was the one fallen on the ground and as he was realising that Ray said: you can't fight them here they're really strong, dude.

Keet was getting up when he heard a very familiar voice in his head saying: I'll distract her but you have to make it run for it.

Keet: mate I was never happiest to hear you in my head.

suddenly the statue lady stopped moving like an actual statue and Keet and Ray ran across the crowds and finally reached the draw bridge but it was too high to be climbed but everyone else was doing it so they started climbing but the more they climbed the higher it seemed and the stronger gravity get until it started to move, the draw bridge was becoming the driving way again but it was so slow and people were falling everywhere and Keet was barely hanging on and he was pretty sure that he's getting heavier but he almost did it so he held on as strong as he could but the door was getting faster and Ray couldn't hang on so he let go.

                          .................................................

Ray's hands couldn't carry him and the overweight of Survivors who were grabbing anything they can grab so he just let go, on his way down Ray looked at Keet and said: I am sorry.

but he didn't listen he had time to while was breaking free his right arm and grabbing Ray's left foot and saying: bear a little more with me man we're almost there.

Keet wasn't ready to disappoint Jolly and break his promise to her that he will see her and wasn't gonna let the guy she loves and it just occurred to him that she's in danger, how did she know about this place and how did she find Ray here whoever told her isn't a friend and once he leaves this place he's gonna find him and kill him painfully and slowly and feed his remains to Leo.

there was a lot going on in his mind that he didn't notice that the gate was open but Ray shook him up and said: let's go, dude.

Keet got up and they started to run throw that complicated back alleys and Keet knew right away it's not gonna be easy to leave this delicate maze for it's obviously made to make sure that nobody leaves this cursed place and he had no powers since he's pound as we know and for a moment he thought of giving up and just letting go but the voice in his head came back saying: you are never alone just remember, friends, are the true power in this world.

Keet looked at Ray and he has just remembered his ever-loyal canine companion so he whistled.

                                     ....................................

meanwhile Rainbow was in the book store tiding the shelves when she noticed a very old book with a leather cover that looked like it was written by hand, the dust on it made it seem from a different era but it was in a good shape and the pages weren't torn or anything but the strange thing is it wasn't shown on the shelf it was hidden behind all the other books.

Rainbow was curious about it so she opened it and started reading it but the further she got into it the wider her eyes got as if she discovered a horrible secret of the ancients.

                    

                         ............................................... 

Keet and Ray where on a roof of an unlucky construction site that never got finished and became home of nothing more than garbage and rats and dust, they could see some resident small apartments around the area but the people didn't seem friendly maybe because of the living under the shadow of that cursed stadium or maybe because although the sun is in the heart of the sky it's still looking shadowy and depressing shown here.

Keet's instinct suddenly moved him to a sneaky comer from the side of the dark stairs, the unwanted guest was nothing more than a thin mid-aged man but the tattoos on everywhere of his body and the tomahawk hair cut and the snakes around him looked a little suspicious but Keet didn't look worried when he asked him: who are you mate?.

Jake: my name is Jake a humble bounty hunter at your service.

Keet knew then that he came for him but he wasn't ready for counters of any sort so he tried to waste some time saying in humour: and what are you doing here Jake the snake?.

Jake seemed a little upset when he said: it's just Jake my friend, and I'm not here for you so if you can be so kind and let me have him.

and he pointed at Ray for some reason no one knows but Keet wasn't that kind of a guy who would step aside and leave a friend behind so he stood between Jake the snake and the very scared Ray and said: piss off mate before you hurt yourself.

Jake liked it when he said: I'll be just fine my Lord just worry about yourself.

and he whispered something that made three of the snakes move towards Keet.

         ..............

Rainbow took the book to Detective Luke and said: I have the answer, Mr Luke.

Luke wasn't sure of what she meant as he was checking the strange book and said: the answer of what exactly.

Rainbow: me and you and Mr Keet and the strange things that have been happening, just don't tell Mr Keet I gave you this I'm still not sure of him yet.

Luke took the book and placed at the side of his desk and listened to her as she explains to him her great discovery.

                                   

                                  .................................

the snakes were surrounding Keet from everywhere but the biggest of them was a long yellow-eyed cobra and his fangs were almost as long as grown man's hand and it was trying to confuse his prey before it leaps on him but keet grabbed the biggest of the snakes from the neck and punched it so strongly that he broke one of its fangs but one of the snakes jumped on him tangling his left arm around his body and another one came from beneath him to attack but Keet quickly stepped on it but he was left helpless before the fourth enemy Jake who was getting another snake from his sleeve as if he was breeding them, Jake whispered something to the snake that approached Keet who had no moves left against that crawling death.

                     

                             ..................................................

 Luke has just finished his work and preparing to leave the office when he noticed that leather old book that Rainbow has left on his desk and he looked confused about reading it, it took him a couple of minutes to decide but he finally did and took off his jacket and sat on his desk and started reading.

                   

                     ....................................................

it was a busy morning for Keet but filled with unwanted guests like those snakes tangling his arms and legs and the one that's trying to leap on him but there at a far dark corner came out a big black ape that jumped on the snakes and grabbed two of them and it even ate one them biting his head off, Jake screamed like a teenager when he saw that ferocious dark creature eating his snakes like snacks and obviously not an average animal for it was darkly black and its eyes were glowing in red and even it's fur was thorny, Jake bulled a dagger from his back and wanted to attack the grumpy Monkey eating his snakes but a strong hand grabbed him from the neck and pulled him up in great strength and he heard Keet saying: please don't interrupt my pet while he's eating now where were we? 

Jake tried to stap Keet's hand that choking him but the other hand replied quickly twisting his until breaking it forcing the dagger to fall on the ground and the knee that destroyed his guts as the hand breaking his right arm made him very quiet for a while as keet was asking him: what do you want from us??

Jake was still processing the pain when he answered: I don't even know you, man.

Keet's hand tightened on his neck forcing him to choose his words carefully when he said: we're not even here for you man.

Keet drobbed him on the dusty roof floor and said: why are you after him?

Jake laughed out loud and said: I'm a professional sir I won't talk.

Keet was getting angry so he broke his second arm and said: I got much time the real question here is how much you got?

Jake was completely submissive when he looked at Keet and said: we have no problem with you and your Monkey we got what we came for.

that moment Keet remembered his partner Ray and looked where he left him but Ray was gone as if he wasn't there, and that made Keet really angry...

                                     

                                          (to be continued)

Ep_5 only for u at all costs

The skies were clear above that calm main street outside the book store unlike what's inside, there was an unstoppable force colliding with an immovable object, tow legends collided in a deep staring contest that ended by a certain detective blowing a big cloud of smoke and

Saying: I don't like you...

Keet sarcastically said: join the club they got matching t-shirts and all.

Luke angry: and I'll find out what you hiding...

at that moment Luke has just noticed that black cat on the edge of that desk, the cat was staring at him with eyes glowing with hate and rage as if it's waiting to jump on him but the strange thing is that the cat's stance wasn't aggressive or even defensive it was normal stance as if it wasn't truly afraid of the detective though he looked intense the cat kept looking to its master every now and then as if it's waiting for a command to bounce on Luke who finally spoke: the weird is getting weirder. 

Keet who probably didn't hear most of the detective's sharp words said: Leo sit. 

The cat easily sat down -like a trained dog- where it stood and didn't move a muscle or made a sound for the rest of the conversation that ended by the detective saying after a while of amazement silence: fine you win weirdo.

and he left without saying bye but Keet smiled at him as he left -as if he was an old friend but Luke wasn't going to leave him be for as he is amazed by the book store owner's spirit and his strange cat and his outstanding reputation but he feels down his bones, a deep secret lies behind him and as a detective, he wasn't going to let this go, and that leaves us to the real question, what will Keet do and is he even aware of the detective's persistence or not.

Meanwhile, a certain wizard was attending a meeting in an infamous coffeehouse with a very fine lady with an old but distinguished sense of fashion from the former century, the two met eyes for a while until Damien decided to say: to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit my Queen? 

His Queen: what's your plane here, Duke Damien? 

Damien: concerning what exactly, your majesty? 

Her Majesty: you know of whom I speak Duke, so please just tell me of your intentions towards my brother. 

Damien decided to come straight forward and said: you know that I feel responsible for the way things have turned, and I believe that he can be so much more than just a hunter of half-demons, but why does he hate them so much? 

The Queen: one of them was responsible for the death of our parents. 

Damien: This is the first time I know of that, my Queen I'm so sorry for your loss. 

The Queen: it's ok Dam, you know what my mother always used to say?

Accidents are a necessary first step towards wonders. 

I didn't understand it then but I do now, it was horrible what happened to them but it was a step further towards our destiny and it wasn't so bad after all. 

Damien listened carefully and looked really interested in knowing more about the queen of the mage order and the first protector against darkness, but tonight they were just to people in a coffeehouse talking in a very beautiful evening.

 After Damien's date, he knew it was the time to work harder in a hope to impress his queen for he didn't show it but she meant to him much more than he showed her for she was why he volunteered to join the highest order of mage to be a barrier against evil and to be the servant of reality, but how can he make out of math murderer a hero and how is he going to make a soldier out of a hunter though the difference was small but it wasn't simple, he got tired of thinking and slowed down his steps but then he remembered his queen and why is he doing this so he got better and his steps speed ahead and he said: for you only my queen, at all costs, I promise.
