3 YEARS AFTER THE INCIDENT
Genzo is seen helping the maids and the butlers clean up the mansion, just because his mother told him not to be lazy.
The mansion was luxurious, like the typical mansion. It's interior was fairly dirty before Genzo and his workers cleaned it up. It's exterior was a sight to see, truly a noblemans house.
The Slaves kept by his father in this mansion escaped when the incident happened, Genzo never liked seeing humans chained. He expected them to break out but they never had the strength until the incident. Some slaves couldn't escape, they were trapped under the debris, but after some time Genzo ordered the workers in the mansion to rescue them.
Some left, Some stayed. Why? They were offered jobs around the palace by Genzo. All of them were tested for their loyalty before Genzo assigned them to their respective positions. The position included serving as butlers, cleaners, guards etcetera. One of the most important job was keeping Rika safe, Genzo had assigned personal Bodyguard who were buff and smart. Although Rika refused bodyguards, Genzo kept them around just in case.
Where is his father? You might ask. Well, his father had gone overseas 3 years ago. After his wife died, he came back devastated. He regretted that he wasn't around, but what could he even do. He was an intelligent man, who knew of his own flaws and qualities, when to start, when to stop. He was a respectable man.
His name was Theodore el Godoy. He always wore a hat, a top-hat which his wife had gifted him on his 30th birthday. He was in his 40s, same as his wife. He was tall, trained in martial arts, but what could he do against unnatural powers. He was someone, everyone dreamed of being, he was rather handsome too years ago. He had a beard and a moustache.
After he came back, he held his wife in his hands with regret and love. He buried her corpse as he watched his children wailing. He was filled with anger towards the ones that called themselves the Worshipers. But after everything settled down, he went back. The children hated him for not being there during the incident, but he was their father.
Genzo:"Why? Father. Why weren't you there when the incident had happened." He asked, sobbing
Godoy:"Son, I wanted to, I really wanted to bu-"
Genzo:"You say that every time. I HATE YOU." He said, running away.
Godoy:"Wait Genzo, I am sorry. I-"
Rika had nothing to say, she hugged her dad, sobbed and them and then walked away. She walked away because she did not want to see her father go, she didn't want to say goodbye. Although Genzo was the older brother, the one being more mature here was Rika.
Genzo ran away in tears, not because he hated his father but because he loved him dearly. He couldn't afford to see him go..again.
Godoy looked back at the horse carriage carrying the two of them. He had forgotten to say something. He wanted to say it before getting on the boat waiting for.
Godoy:"I AM PROUD OF YOU TWO"
He screamed, unlike and immature of him, but sometimes to express something meant you had to be immature.
Genzo and Rika cried heavily after hearing his word, though very unlike him. They opened the doors of the horse carriage to hug their father, they ran as fast as they could, even tripping and falling. They ran into their father's arm which were wide open, they jumped into his arm making Godoy fall. They kissed him goodbye.
Genzo:"Promise….. to come back soon.. okay?" He said while sniffling.
Rika:"Yeah, make sure to come back"
Godoy:"Sure and when I came back, you both have to grow taller than me okay?"
Genzo and Rika:"Okay?" They said sniffling and rubbing their nose, wiping their tears away.
After their father got on the boat, they waved goodbye at each other. They smiled, wishing their father good luck while their father did the same.
Genzo zoned out thinking about their father and mother.
"Sir?"
A butler asked. The butler was like the typical butler, bald, had glasses, wore a suit, had a handkerchief with him at all times, looked after their master as if they were his own son/daughter.
"Oh, Alfred sorry I zoned out"
"It's okay sir, after all this is your house"
"Yeah, heh"
Suddenly a gun shot was heard.
"What was that Alfred?"
"I do not know sir, I will go check"
"No, You stay here"
"But Sir"
"I'm entrusting you with the task of protecting the mansion. Is that clear?"
"Yes, master"
"Good"
He went towards the place where the sound came from, it was the gate. He saw someone lying there, it was one of the guards.
"What the? Who did this?"
He asked the guard as he lifted the guard up as he asked the question.
"run, young…..master."
The Guard said while coughing up blood. He uttered one final word before his last breath.
"Rika…"
"What… oh shit"
He had realised that he had gone to the school. Panic erupted in town as people run away from the direction of the school while others take on weapons to go there. They were the parents.
"ALFRED"
He called out Alfred as he came running to him.
"Yes, master?"
"Bring your Blid weapon with you. Rika is in danger"
"Ok master"
Alfred ran to take his Blid weapon, which they call a 'Melanix'. As Alfred went to take his Melanix, Genzo ran towards the school. The School was in shambles, he looked around, there was debris all over. He called out for Rika. No one answered. Some of the parents of the other children were rushing onto the centre of the school crying, calling out for their children. He also went to the centre, on the way helping children escape.
As he reached the centre of the school, he saw someone holding Rika by her cheeks, lifting her up in the air.
He was wearing an all white shirt which did not reach his waist, navy blue pants and shoes. He wore a blue scarf. He was quite small, about 5 feet tall. His teeth were unnaturally sharp. His hair was let down, with sharp ends.
Genzo ran towards his sister.
"Get your hands away from her"
"Oh, What? And who must you be, brat."
"That is my sister, you are holding up. Let her down"
"What will you do, if I DONT?"
"I will fight you"
"Ooooh, arrogant. Just. Like. Me"
"I am not like you"
"Oh, yeah. Everyone says that. I didn't even introduce myself. I am Arrow. I want the Blid inside your sister. You may know our organisation." Arrow said with a smile
"The Worshipers ? But you guys already took my mother. I won't let you take my sister."
"Well, well, well you useless brat. Try me!"
"Alright, I will"
