"I see..." said Aitor after he heard the awful yet powerful past of Ahab, Dante then said:
"Now that you have known all of that, i want you to make an oath with me, and that oath is to not tell Ahab about the shit that we go through in our missions especially the one that you have just returned from, that one in specific will stir up more anger and despise in Ahab's heart and who knows when will his apocalyptic crash out will be."
"Dante? Do you really believe that after what i heard from you! I will go and tell Ahab about my struggles to put up more weight in his mind? Absolutely not and i totally understand your oath as i already agree on it."
"Good thing we are both on the same page."
"But now i got another question, how the fuck did Ahab was able to do ALL of that when he was eleven years old? Like, back in the time he didn't have the element, there has to be something that i am missing out."
"Correct, there's indeed a very crucial and historic detail that you have ignored, say Aitor? Do you know how people would describe Kaiser Frederick before he taps into the element?"
"How would i know? That's something very personal and is not a major event for me to easily know about."
"Well i was lucky enough to hear some old rumours that would talk about how people felt around Frederick, they said from how just he was whenever he lays his arm on them to comfort them, they would feel a sudden warmth, a warmth that shines hope for one to move on in the hard spiked road of life and to not give up on your goals.
Kaiser Frederick have symbolised hope in his days before he gets the element, while Ahab on the other hand symbolises three things, justice, balance and power, but as we can see, he symbolises power the most."
They have been on the table for a while, drinking (Dante was the one drinking, Aitor wasn't) and suddenly they feel someone taking the shortcut, Aitor asks:
"Could it be Nikolas?" Dante replied:
"Mostly yes."
And surely Nikolas was the one in the shortcut who also fell into the pool but came out of it completely dry because he was forcing the water molecules to stay away from him, he then took a seat with them, took the bottle that Dante was drinking from (like he literally pulled it off of his mouth).
Cuasing the wine to splash but before it touches any solid object he just grabbed it mid air as if he was controlling it telekinetically and puored it back to the bottle, after that he formed a glass cup out of his hand and poured the wine on it, after all of that he proceeds to throw the bottle back to Dante and he also catches it mid air with his hand, Aitor then stood up and said:
"I guess i will go get some juice or something." And left Dante with Nikolas, Dante looked at Nikolas and said:
"You too also got a long face? Guys i guarantee both of you that you two don't look cold when you make a long face,*sigh* now what is your problem Nikolas? What have you seen in your shitty mission?" Nikolas asked without making any introductions on what happened on his mission and said:
"Dante,...do you remember that one time when i returned from the peaks of the Morozgor mountains?" At this moment Aitor was on his way back to the table and he was shocked when he heard this question and asked himself:
"(What on Magnus have you seen in Eisenwaldtal that made you remember such a thing from many years ago?)" And then sat down to listen to Dante's response which was:
"Yes Nikolas i do remember all the things that you have mentioned and the reason why you were on the peak of this mountain, also don't worry about Aitor, he already knows everything about that day because he had to know." Nikolas replied with a pissed off tone:
"What do you mean he now knows everything that happened on that day, have you told him about all those days? Just why whenever i find someone who understands me has to die a few years later? And instead of staying silent about it you just speak to everyone about it WHY?"
At this moment before Nikolas continues his screaming that doesn't make much sense, Aitor had to point his index finger onto Nikolas's forehead to transfer all his memories that he have experienced including his memory on the day he lost his only child when he died on his arms.
Nikolas was then silent out of shame because he didn't understand how deeply involved have Aitor became into this situation, Dante then said:
"Nikolas,...Aitor is no longer a simple ally, he is someone who is right now sharing our very own duties and motivations, he is someone who is going to be on our side in the great war against all our enemies that we will face in Hielnzath,...he is the one who will deliver justice for the youngest brother of Hector and Ivan."
As Dante was saying that last sentence, Aitor have pulled out the amulet that was given to him from Ronald, for Nikolas to see it, Nikolas holded it, examined the amulet and remembered the old days as the amulet holded the shape of a dragon and wolf on it, Nikolas then said:
"Aitor,...please, forgive my ignorance, i did not mean to be like this,...it's just that i am a little way too sensitive on that matter."
"No problem, don't over think it because we all make mista-...??????????????have you two felt that?"
The hour: 4:00 AM
At this moment Aitor was interrupted by a very powerful element wave that came from above the headquarters, it was as if someone was trying to call out for all three of them, but how did he very quickly figure out their new headquarters? It was literally finished two days ago and for it to be discovered just like that was a total joke that they wished it wasn't real Aitor then said:
"Quick to the shortcut slide we will fly through it." Dante replied:
"Well i can't fly!!"
"Then i will pick you up until we reach the outside, anyway it's already heavily raining so it will be a better disguise for Nikolas to use and spy for us before me and you get out of the underground."
All three of them have gone through the shortcut and before they become 50 meters below the earth surface, Nikolas have kept going in his invisible oxygen form, as he have gone out of the slide, the night was heavily raining and the skies were screaming with thunder and lightning and then.
he have seen it, his face dull his mouth was open as he didn't understand what he was seeing right infront of where the shortcut was, he then telepathically said to Dante and Aitor with hesitation:
"(Ge-et ou-ut)." Aitor replied:
"What have you seen? Why are you hesitating?...NIKOLAS ANSWER ME!!!" Nikolas didn't answer, his mind was just shocked to act from what it saw, at this moment, Aitor had to get out pull Dante out of the shortcut.
Dante and Aitor were also shocked to speak, because what they saw, was Ahab having a severe scare on the left side of his face, Ahab was unconscious and was carried by a familiar face who was carryinganother child on his other arm that wasn't carrying Ahab, that face that both Dante and Aitor have recognised, both of them said in the same time:
"Albert?!"
