Third person POV
*( Aspen's mansion)*
It was midday, the sun was casting golden light across every surface the weather was great for a picnic or any out door activity, in Aspen's house you can hear lions roaring from time to time.
Aspen and Sylus were sitting opposite each other arguing non-stop, it's been an hour and the Sin Bound Chronicles sat on the table between them .
In Sylus mind, this shouldn't happen, everything that going on now should not happen, it's just him facing the fact that everything he knew is about to change; no he doesn't want that, back when he was at the orphanage even before the accident everything new doesn't end will,
The new playgrounds collapsed and injured children, the new library caught on fire and injured children, everything new or even the slightest change always don't end well, if only things stayed the same, then maybe the children who died could have been alive having normal families adopt them.
" Listen Sylus, there is more you don't know, more they aren't telling you about " Aspen's voice brought him back to their conversation.
" you said you'll give Asta back as soon as I get here,where is he "
" are you even listening to yourself, is he the only thing you want to have when many more are at your disposal "
" you don't want me causing a scene so you, whereever he is give him back, take your stupid book and just leave me alone " Sylus got up from his seat.
Aspen relaxed in his, looking at the human boy in front of him who is shaking slightly probably traumatized, ' humans are not just weak, but stupid too' he thought. Why will she choose them over the many different people in our world, this one doesn't even now how to smell power' .
Sylus was more annoyed than any other, he always hated it when things he knows changes, they always remind him of his past .
Aspen looked at him,the emotions in his eyes were that of confusion and desperation, the guy clearly doesn't want any of this.
" you want your Asta back, fine " he said and opened the book to a specific page " this part reverses damages done by the book, you can read it and everything will be back to normal " he pushed the book in front of Sylus.
The guy looked at the page, the words in it was still the same as when he tried to read it earlier the whisper, the moving words, the same uncomfortable feeling but this time around it felt reversed.
the whisper were going backwards the words were coming into view rather than scattering the greed symbol at the back of his hand was glory just like how it did back at his school the wind pick up and the clear environment suddenly became a little foggy, Asta materialized in the mist .
He wasn't his usual cute small cat size his black fair was now deep blue he wasn't flooding either, he had a third eye on his forehead his normal red colored eyes now have a golden ring around it.
He looked annoyed restless and panicked, looking around as if searching for something he saw Sylus and relaxed a little.
Sylus new this form, that was Adta's fifth form, all the sins have seven forms from the seventh which is the smallest to the first which is their true form, Asta now looks like a demon wolf his height is 2 ft taller than an average human and slightly bigger than a track, that was just his fifth form.
" where is it?" Asta asked.
" where is what, change your form " Sylus replied.
Asta instantly went back to his cat form," you didn't see anyone dressed like a butler with something like a clock chain " he said looking around.
" no I haven't seen anyone like that , you just disappear on me do you have any Idea how terrifying that was " Sylus spoke but Asta didn't pay attention to him .
" what did you do " Asta focused on Aspen, " Do you have any idea what you just did, how did you even do it"
" what's wrong Asta " Sylus questioned .
" now that thing is on the loose, how did you even break the seal" Asta shouted, his mind went to the book" Asha wrote this book,....of course it must have been inside" he shock his head " she will surely mess you up for what you have done ".
" Sylus shut your kitten up or I will " Aspen glared at Asta.
" Enough Asta let's go " Sylus move away from the room towards the exit Asta behind him, still glaring and Aspen.
" the driver can take you back" Aspen said .
" no need " Asta responded. Shifting into his sixth form, his size is no different from the lions " let's go" Sylus got on top of him and the two went running through the trees at a superhuman speed.
The moved feather away from the mansion till it completely disappeared from they sight.Aspen stood at the gate watching them.
" is it okay to let him leave sir " his assistant, Ronnie asked.
" what must be done is already done, he is not ready for it but reality doesn't wait till your ready " Aspen said, he tried to move inside but almost fell, his assistant caught him in time .
" are you okay sir" he asked .
" I think it's time to pay my sister a visit " Aspen responded.
" that isn't part of our plan don't you think it will affect it somehow" Ronnie said,
" I know Ronnie, I'm not going to face her, I'll be close enough to regain what I've lost "
" she's gonna find out cuz she will gain her eye sight back ".
" I know , I will be long gone before she makes a move, I can not be like this and expect the plan to work smoothly" Aspen went in the table where the book was still there.
" let's go back to Albatrou " he said a picked up the book .
Ronnie took out a glass table and disabled an illusion that has been on the entire time, the building, garden,lions and even the servants slowly disappeared, the land was left bare, it was all an illusion, all of it.
"Good work as always " Aspen praised him.
" no need , robotics is my thing" Ronnie responded.
" let's get back to the gang , I'll leave Sylus in ' her ' hands, after all she has been able to get to his good side " Aspen said before disappearing.
Ronnie collected his gadgets and disappeared.
