Look at this guy.
Silently without noise, Goldie descends towards the front of the nursing residence.
"How do you do it? How do you pass through barriers easily?"
Aya with her eyes on him questioned with a voice that expressed geniune curiosity.
"I just do it." Skylar replied with a smile. "Its very simple, you just expand one of the tiny gaps... there are trillions of them..."
Speaking to Aya in a casual voice, Skylar stood up and starts walking to the edge as Goldie gets closer to the ground.
"But I think why I can do it easily is because of the nature of the energy I bonded with..."
Concluding, Skylar jumped from the top of Goldie, and his figure diving in the air, silently and with ease, navigates the upwind as it heads for the ground.
Now, landing on the ground silently and effortlessly, He made his way like in the morning towards the building entrance and entered.
Everyone seems to be inside.
His eyes briefly scans the empty and quiet lounge illuminated by dim white lights before he made his way towards the elevator entrance.
Stealthed, he eventually reached his destination—a hallway illuminated by dim orange light coming from identical suspended lamps lined along its length on both sides.
There you are...
He looked about three hundred meters in front if him at a human figure in white who crouched in front of the chameleon glass wall of the hallway, immersed in whatever business he has with it.
Still in stealth, his figure appeared blurry as he close the distance between him and the figure in less than four seconds.
"Hmm hmm." He cleared his throat, alerting the figure.
"?!" The figure panicked as he stood up.
*Pah*
Suddenly, he felt a hard slap on his pale handsome face, right on the cheek. Thus, he reeled back.
"You have guts."
Skylar closed in on him.
"Pah
A second time, he felt a hot slap on his other cheek. Thus, he reeled back.
"Please wait..."
"Why should I?"
Long platinum blonde hair, an Incredibly handsome face but now swollen; the young man pleaded, but Skylar closed in anyway.
*Pah
Delivered with a smile, another slap landed on his left cheek—the first one Skylar hit. Thus, he reeled back.
"You should know who you are messing with."
Skylar closed in yet again.
*Pah
The fourth slap landed on the young man left cheek. Thus, he reeled back, but not just all this time, he mustered ether, trying to coat his cells and cloak his body, it seemed the damage and pain was becoming too much for him.
"You want to fight back?"
This time, Skylar paused. He crossed his arms.
"My lord, please wait, I can explain..."
Coated and cloaked in ether, the handsome young man as tall as Skylar brought out a compass looking object from a pouch tied to his waist.
At the same time, the elevator door far behind Skylar opened, and from it, Yami, Lakshimi, and Bilkis who led five armed women in purple armor outfit including Tilda—one of the previous swordswomen he met, came out from it.
"My lord, I did not mean any harm..." The young man held up the object for Skylar to see. "My name is Flower master..."
*Pah *Bang
Far harder than the previous ones, Skylar after closing on him faster than he could react, slapped him super hard without finesse, and consequently, he flew and collided with the chameleon glass wall.
I was thinking I have seen this bastard before, so he is that guy...
Due to the impact, the young man now sit partially unconscious with the side of his upper body against the wall like a man abandoned by the world. Skylar then turned his focus from him to the object he snatched from his hand.
What's this thing?...
—That's a sacred artefact.
Eres in his mental world replied his opened thought. Yami right from behind him peeked over his shoulder at the artifact.
"Hihihi..." Giggling, her eyes shifted to the struggling young man. "You captured the most elusive Flower master?..."
The others with Bilkis at the forefront and Lakshimi far behind them, arrived.
"We were careless."
Skylar glanced briefly at Bilkis who spoke. She has her axe brandished like she was going to chop the young man in two.
"Its no one's fault. He must have snucked in when the barrier was lifted."
Skylar deduced after returning his focus to the compass-like object, checking the unique characters on its front part that look like the eye of a strange creature embedded in it.
—That's the eye of that lustful dragon.
Eres voice echoed again in his mind.
—It was either killed or died at a random place for someone to have turned his lustful eye into an artefact.
I see... but what does it do?
Skylar wondered.
—Its just like every other sacred artefact, they retain the function of the organ of the creature they came from.
You are saying, they are formed from body parts?
—Originally... yes... they are formed from remains of dead creatures, but they don't necessarily have to naturally form from dead creatures...
—There are certain people with the knowledge to create them from body parts. They even use fresh body part of living creatures...
I understand, but what does this one do specifically?
—Like I said, its the eye of that lustful dragon. With it, when he was alive, he was able to see the sexual desire of other creatures, even when he was far away from his targets...
I see, so this thing is like a sexual desire detector....
—Something like that. And it should be broken, since it can only react to one kind of sexual desire... the desire for forceful mating.
—And I think it reacted to that miserable woman...
Hana?
—Yes.
—She has been suppressing her desire for a very long time, and your appearance today and what you did must have made her loose control totally...
—I am sure she is praying as we speak for a random man to appear and violate her thoroughly...
—She might even be planning to go out and look for just anyone one to do the job... even if she has to offer everything she has...
Is it that bad?
—Yes, very bad... Her previous master did a good job of conditioning her to that kind of pleasure...
—The only way for her to experience release is through violence, and perhaps when she is pregnant, she might have a chance, if intercourse is a bit rougher...
"Sky."
In response to the voice that made him return his focus to the outside world, Skylar raised his head, and in front of him, he saw Yami's oval-shaped face an inch away from his.
"?"
Expecting her to speak, his eyebrows raised and his green eyes locked with her mysterious black ones.
"Do you know what that thing is used for?" Yami questioned, her voice was softer and quieter than usual.
"Will you tell me if I ask you?"
Skylar smiled—a playful smile Yami mirrored before she giggled.
"Hiihihi... Guess?"
I see now...
She doesn't know about Eres... which means she can't pry into my subconscious, or maybe she can, but don't want to...
To his monumental discovery, he smiled. He put the sacred artefact in his pocket, and at the same time, the young man muscle twitched slightly, he was about to make a run for it, but Skylar having anticipated it, let loose his spiritual pressure that bound him to his spot, an action that escaped the awareness of everyone but one.
"?" Coming from beside him as Yami awaits his guess, Lakishimi tugged at his hoodie, and in turn he turn to look at her. Then she opened her heavy lower lips,
"Its for detecting women..."
"Shimi stop!" Yami shouted at her, she interrupted her reveal. "Don't tell him."
Watching as Shimi shook her head timidly, despite her mature frame and look, compared to Yami high-schooler look, Skylar smiled amusedly.
"Bi... Great elder, why can't we tell them?"
Along with a facial expression that quickly changed from a frown of irritation to a composed one, Bilkis at the start of her words fumbled, her eyes remain on Yami who is now smiling back at Skylar as she awaits an answer.
"Hihihi..." Yami giggled, acting unusually sheepish. "You know already?"
Her words directed at Skylar but also answering Bilkis question, and also clearing the confusion on the face of the others, especially Shimi who is practically glued to Skylar; the chameleon glass door the young man was tampering with earlier opened inward, and attracting the attention of everyone as they turn to look back, a head of dark brown straight hair and dark brown almond eyes peeped from inside the space it leads to.
The star of the show...
"Hana!"
Shimi called. All eyes on the partly revealed face that symbolizes docility, innocence and fatal charm with a transient and subtle hint of frustration; Hana tucked her head in and came out fully into thier view, head lowered, fingers crossed and nervousness written all over her.
"Are you alright?"
Dressed in a conservative laced nightgown, her grown and mature body shook, a response to Skylar's worried voice. She put up her head bravely,
Her swollen and teary eyes met Skylar's worried ones squarely: "Lord, I am fine. I was scared at first but with you around I have nothing to fear."
Liar...
Big fat liar...
Skylar shook his head and smiled warmly at her: "Its okay."
"Hmm..." Hana forced a smile, her beauty that transcends appearance and looks, a beauty forged from will and experience, mystical and historical, briefly had everyone dazed, no one excluded, and Skylar chiefly.
She has stories.
"Madame excuse me, please you should go inside, there are dangerous individuals on the loose."
A stunning beauty of average height, short brown hair, a look of a lady in her mid-twenties, tomboyish appearance and a tomboyish voice; dressed in a purple armor corset, a pair of purple pauldrons, a purple skirt armor and barefooted; Tilda the swordswoman with her sheated sword in her hands and genuine concern in her voice move closer to Hana, her manner a cue for Hana to go back inside.
Wow! does she know there is still a rat hiding somewhere, or is she just saying that randomly.
Skylar smiled with a surprised expression when he heard Tilda. Then his unfocused eyes caught Hana nod at him as she is about to return inside.
Looking at her back view, he nods in return with a smile: "Hana, don't worry, everything will be alright..."
His words reaching her, she returned back inside her place she came from, Tilda at the entrance, watching and supervising as the door close behind her.
"Hihihi..."
