Fate Of The Twelve (Completed)

Chapter 18: Unravel

           We waited, all night... Unable to sleep with the situation at hand and with the uneasiness settled in us because of the fact that we still don't know what has become of the prince and Muriel.

           The only thing we could do the least was bring some mats to make a temporary bed for all of us and take turns in watching over the spheres while we slept there just the same, not minding if it literally took us quite some time to sleep.

            When I woke up particularly, the sun was already up and the only thing that prevented the light from disturbing our sleep was the dome like ice rooftop that somebody conjured to keep everyone rested.

          Seeing that the others were still asleep and snugly in their comforters, I quietly removed mine and stood up as I walked towards Leirum, Rex and Cyan who were all sitting under the shade of a tree and silently looking at the sphere.

         "Rex, do you think... that the scientist the generals talked about and the possible abductor of Prince Narsus could also be possible for turning Prince Janus into a demon?" I asked and they looked up at me as I took my seat beside Cyan.

       "There's a big possibility in that, Mikael, but the question is... how? How can a mere human turn an Azerothian into a demon? Much more a royalty?" Rex threw back a question that I couldn't hopelessly answer at all.

       "Whoever is responsible, I won't forgive them." Cyan said with his jaw clenched, a powerful blood-lust coming from him that was all too overwhelming as I rubbed my eyes.

        When I looked, it didn't seem like I was imagining at all. His eyes twinkled like a bright gem, seeming like a pair of orbs reflecting a universe, with those little twinkling shapes in them just like stars.

        "What---?" I asked as I jumped up in surprise, looking at the grass around Cyan, wilting and speedily dying away as they turned to black, wicked looking thorn bushes appearing at certain places.

        "Cyan! Calm down!" I turned to look at Rex, whose eyes were momentarily filled with pain but then again disappeared as he placed a hand on the cyan-haired guys shoulder who stiffened.

          Cyan looked away from me as he took in a deep breath and he walked away, disappearing into the woods and out of sight as I stood there shocked.

         "W-what just happened?" I asked, still disoriented at what I witnessed as Leirum sighed.

        "I'm forbidding you to tell it to the others but Cyan has the ability to make plants and everything about life from ground die whenever he looses his cool." He explained and gave me a stern look.

        "I won't okay. Fine!" I defended and put my hands up in surrender at his intimidating stare.

        "Never ask him about it or anything regarding it too or I'll slit your throat." Rex added and I quickly nodded at the scary eleven years old kid while he ran after Cyan who ran away just now. Why are these people so stingy?

        I briskly walked through the woods. Passing by a lot of trees as I let out my emotions and dead brown leaves fell from trees which were perfectly normal a second ago, the plants and grass I touched dying immediately as I released my pent up frustrations.

      My breathing grew heavy as I took long strides away from where the others were, completely letting my emotions rule over me as tears began to fall from my eyes and the pain I always felt on my back intensifying.
