"Let's talk later" Adriel said to Racine before sending him out of the room.
"Wait" Racine said to him but Adriel slammed the door to his face so just like that Racine got out of the room and wander around the place unaware of where he was going to.
"You can't just drag someone somewhere and expect them to know the place. Stupid" Racine whispered under his breath, his eyes glanced around the fancy looking place and while making a turn right around the corner he collided into someone his face bumping against something soft and fragrant before he bounced into the floor.
"Are you alright?" Someone asked Racine and he stood up to see, that standing in front of him was one of Adriel's rainbow ladies.
"My eyes are up here" She said to Racine who was locating the place he had bump into earlier.
Racine turned his head away, "Sorry"
The Lady with long wavy pink hair let out a pleasing laugh, "It's fine" The Lady offered a hand to Racine, "I came to fetch you so I could offer you the room you be staying in"
Racine smoothen his clothes and the lady took back her offered hand, "The people who come with me earlier where are they now?"
The Pink haired lady tilted her head, "They are currently on the reception room. I lead you there" Like that she spun on her heel and Racine followed behind her.
"So.. How did you and my brother meet?" Racine questioned her.
The pink haired lady replied, "We met in Dagupan, Me and my sister was being harassed and he suddenly came falling from the Sky"
"Told me that he needs my help and I should come join him"
"So that's why you join him?"
The Pink Haired Lady halt on her steps, "Not exactly I thought his just one of those creeps who pay people to harass you so they could come save you so I told him yes but ran away with my sister the next day"
"He then started to chase me and my sister for three more days so I decided to just come along" She turned her head and saw Racine's dumbfounded expression.
"Don't tell me the others?" Racine scratched his head, "???!!!?"
The Pink haired lady laughed at Racine's confusion, "Don't worry despite his aggressive approach he did took care of me and the others"
"he did fed us a couple of strange things like a glowing centipede and a rock but other than that he was fine" She added.
"Why do you sound like you just give up, understanding my brother's shenanigans?" Racine pointed out, "Isn't this something like Stockholm Syndrome?"
"I tell him off for this" Racine declared, "What was he even thinking is he holding hostage all the people here? Ugh I don't have time for this i plan to meet with Alex and Okarina and the whole Guide i-" Racine took a deep inhale then exhale, "Can I ask your name?"
"Elesio Venecia" The Pink Haired Lady said with a smile.
...
"So how was the family reunion?" Max greeted Racine with a smile.
Racine gave a small nod to Elesio before she close the door of the reception room leaving them five on the reception room, Racine took a seat beside Lyka. "I am so confused"
"Confused of what?" Lyka said moving closer beside him, "What did your brother said?"
"He wants me to enter a dungeon with him, I don't even know dungeons exist" Racine ran a hand on his face, "This is way too much information. I haven't even deal-"
The scent of the fragrance he had smell earlier linger around the room, Racine covered a hand on his mouth and nose, His eyes scanned towards any window on the room only to find none.
"What's wrong?" Lyka touched Racine's shoulder, her shadow flickering and creating a dome of squirming maggots around the two of them.
"EW" Nova's voice pierced outside the dome.
A memory surfaced on Racine's mind and he blinked at the memory the fogged up faces next to him stopping him from being crushed to death.
Madonna and her followers.
"Shit" Racine cursed, 'Is that Lady following me?' Racine glared at Lyka, 'Is Lyka a spy? to begin with why of all place she could stumble to while running away did she find me?'
Racine remembered Elesio, 'I got to careless, I should have put my guard up with a possible mental type awakener'
"Get out of my head" Racine slapped his own face yet he feel no pain at all.
Racine was planning to slap himself once more but Lyka grabbed his wrist, "What are you doing?"
Lyka took a closer look at Racine and she herself noticed the faint pinkish glow on Racine's pupils.
"Can i?" Lyka whispered.
"What is happening there?" Redford's voice was heard from outside the dome.
"Max do something!" Nova suggested.
Racine swallowed, "Do you're worst"
Lyka's hand's wrapped around Racine's neck, Her whole body weight forcing Racine down and pinning him to the seat.
"This is the first time i met a Mental Awakener" Lyka said with delight as she sat on top of Racine's chest, "Nice to meet you"
