Chapter eight: Is fate unchanged?
"what….%#^# n*w" "I %#$* try ₩☆&$ h%p"
Tsuki awoke to the twins speaking. He couldn't make out the words but he was sure it was serious since the atmosphere of the room was very solemn.
They made eye contact with Tsuki and their eyes lightened up a bit. Waving at them they waved back. "So what happened Now?" He was quite done with everything ;
~I really hope it's something good~.
*ahem* "it would seem that this round has something more to it. Raziel announced earlier that the safe zones were going to be disabled." Luke said perfect fine as if yesterday he wasn't a bleeding mess.
He nodded his head in understanding; he sat down thinking about what they should do. Tsuki thought this time he should let luka and luke be the judge of that. ~I still want to test their strategic planning.~
This shouldn't take too long.
"We believe that we should find a safe place to hide since this round is more about survival to people with our roles," Luke gestured with his hands. "But I still think it has something more to it, everything is very suspicious."
" Also here's the thing, you see the 'Kings'?" Luka looked puzzled while saying this. "Yeah?" I responded raising my eyebrows questionably, "We haven't noticed them since we woke up. It seems as if they left but that's the thing, they haven't left us since the beginning of the rounds." Both the twin eyebrows furrowed and luka began chewing on his nails.
"Ho? That is indeed strange." Tsuki started crossing his arms , he sat back down and thought of the different possibilities on why they're gone.
~hmm is it because they thought we needed rest and didn't want to bother us? No. They probably have a motive for something so nice after all we're just entertainment anyway,
Could it be that they heard or saw what happened yesterday?~ Tsuki's thoughts tried to build a conclusion completely missing what luke and luka were conversing about.
Shortly after felt a small tap on his shoulder he flinched slightly."I think it's about time we leave here," Luke smiled "Oh! Yes uh we should" he forced a smile at them.
All three assessed their situation , muttering status window Tsuki stared at his growth.

"Hm? What's this.." Muttering a puzzled look befell Tsuki's face.
"Is something the matter Tsuki?" Inquired Luke while holding an empty potion bottle.
"No." Tsuki started while placing his hands on his chin, his violet eyes scanning his Status window "Don't worry about it just make sure you have enough mid level healing potions."
"Hn if you say so," Luke shrugged "also! What do you think I've been doing?" Luke added irritatingly, his lips settled in a scowl.
"Yes, yes my bad" Tsuki placated. "Tsk, didn't even have the heart to ask how I am." Luke continued his potion inspections.
~These titles..when did I receive them? 'Blessed by the ancient one'? Wait- Rare?!~ Gaping at his screen Tsuki shaked his head and resumed inspecting. ~what's this, why is it question marks hm it's a mythic title too. Maybe the kings have answers? I'll ask them when they arrive back~
Tsuki waved the silver screen away and turned to his group. "We'll be leaving in 5 minutes so make sure everything is done by then!"
The twins nodded and continued with healing work, Luka stepped up to Luke and muttered a basic healing spell a soft glow came from his hands "For the dizziness" he said smiling softly, "thanks" Luke returned his smile his blue eyes softened.
"Oh also Luke." Tsuki called out to him again. "Yes Tsuki?" Luke turned his head almost immediately "it's good to see you up and okay" Tsuki's replied smiling softly his gaze softened.
Luke stared into Tsuki's violet eyes for a moment searching for something, turning away he blurted out a random answer. "Yes. It would seem you won't be getting rid of me just yet" Luke smiled with his face hidden.
"Yes of course not" Tsuki hollered and Luka started humming while listening to the both continuing their work. He was on rest duty for awhile restoring his depleted mana.
《minutes later》
They cautiously roamed the halls looking for any sign of human life. Tsuki relentlessly searched for any type of danger, his hands clenched and unclenching his weapon.
His knuckles turned white and he drew his lips into a thin line. Tsuki felt himself growing anxious by the second but couldn't find the reason for it so he continued being on alert.
Luke had to stop himself from saying something, afraid of triggering whatever was happening with Tsuki. He's their meat shield after all he couldn't have him losing himself. Luka plastered a smile on his lips pretending that the atmosphere wasn't as cold as it gave off.
He walked with a slight bounce in his steps, yet his mind and eyes stayed sharp.
One would say that all three trusted each other greatly but it was far from the truth they've had a temporary alliance not a friendship.
Plus they can lose their lives to Him at any time, so for now they'll play their part. Hopefully Tsuki play's his.
The plain gray hallway seemed even colder than before. The Chandelier cast an orange light on the three of them.
{Pov. Kings}
A silver screen could be seen with two figures sitting facing each other and a screen rests in front of them both.
"Do you really want to know?" Scoffed Lucifer, his red eyes matching his glossy lips. The figure in porcelain white nodded their head solemnly. This was who people would refer to as 'God' or the 'Holy one'.
"I think it's only right that I receive answers to questions past their due," he said, placing his hands together on the long silver table before him "we both know you've been hiding something."
Lucifer grew irritated. "Don't lecture me save it for Uriel and her sword addiction" waving off the question he crossed his legs.
Long black hair resembling moonless nights, blood red eyes filled with mischief hidden behind a frame of golden glasses, a pointed nose with pale snowflake like skin, a lean figure with a pair of sultry lips and long legs. Red tie, black dress shoes, a black shirt with a high collar and a dark red overcoat.
A silver ring sat on his right index finger, a black glove on his left hand with his fingernails painted a fine obsidian.
A scowl rested on his ethereal face his features blessed, eyes of fine red jade crafted by the best of craftsmen, a nose molded from the highest peak, a pair of lips kissed by desired enchanted fae, a jawline so sharp it must have taken decades to get right, the favored one now the fallen one still beloved by the 'Holy one'.
"If you want to know so badly, do me a favor. Oh mighty one beg a bit more," laughed Lucifer with amusement dripping from his tone. "What too much for you?" his eyes creased, lips stretching into a sadistic smile.
The Holy one clenched his fist, "this is not one of YOUR games Lucifer , you will answer." Scolded the Holy one his brow furrows into a strained position and his jaw clenched.
With his amber fire lit eyes and long hair white like a swan, his hair lay in ornaments of many kind, the front part of his white silk hair holded by a Chinese emperors head piece.
A teal and gold hand fan rest on the outstretched table, golden flower embedding with the loveliest of gems. Sun kissed skin, lips lightly glossed with a light peach color, white and gold clothes lay on his slim body, a waist many wish to hold, his white and gold robes flowed like the river of Lethe* ; his inner robes have beautiful gold carnations* printed on them.
An almost sinful nose bridge. Even if their lips were overturned they still lay innocently on his face with a pink tint. A pair of white sandals on his feet. A mighty and holy aura surrounded this being.
"Or what? May I kindly remind you, I am not at fault for your missing memories; no matter how evil I may seem, even I have boundaries." Explained Lucifer with an almost pained look on his face.
Sighing the Holy one turned his gaze away from Lucifer.
."Would it kill you to just tell me? Just this once listen to me" he begged, Lucifer's answer only further broke his resolve.
"No. I can't," his head bowed, long strands of black hair covered his expression, with his voice barely a whisper now. "I promised you before you lost them to not ever tell you anything, when time is due they will return when they must but for now you will have to stay incomplete" answered Lucifer his hidden eyes painted with grief.
The Holy one stared at the being across from him sadness embedded in those stunning amber eyes, a broken shell of a God.
"You're the only one left, even in all this chaos you are the only one that shares my anguish of this never-ending river called immortality, never matter the force or sides we are situated on; none of that matters when you are the one that understands the pain and devastation that comes with the task, our fates, our oracle the other half of my existence." a voice filled with pain, almost a murmur still reached Lucifer's ears.
Simple words befell from his lips "I know."
A deep chuckle came from the Holy one's chest ,"you always do, don't you?" A murmur flowed throughout the quiet space, Lucifer pretended not to see the tear that ran down the Holy one's face and redirected his attention to the screen.
His counterpart mimicked his actions, 'if only we were two other people, people who weren't shackled with fate maybe I would be able to come back to you'
Melancholy settled between and the chatter of the participants filled the space.
*Lethe- the Greek river of oblivion or forgetfulness, one of the five rivers of the underworld.
*Carnations- the main meaning of this flower is fascination, distinction and love.
