Kapitel 24: Greetings, Maximus

River of Origin was the big river in Royalty Pack entering from the east and leaving it from the west. It was a big body of water that divided the oval Werewolves settlement into two big landscapes, the Left Shoulder and the Right Shoulder, each of the lands having a mighty mountain bordering the periphery of the settlement.

The river having divided the land of the settlers to its will, the settlers also divided it from the beneath into two equal halves using the Vamus Rock — Vamus, the hardest material ever known which was synthesized using the blood of living Vampires, in this scenario mixed with an original rock.

In the event of an emergency war, the Royalty Pack settlement had numerous Escape Tunnels designed for residents to escape. Located in the middle of the settlement, the Royal Castle stood in the east while the old Royal Castle marked the western side. Positioned below in the middle of the River of Origin, these two structures served as the sole barriers interrupting the uninterrupted stretch of the strong Vamus Rock, which spanned from east to west.

The Royal Castle had all the major Escape Tunnels from every direction extending to it, and it was the only way through which it could be invaded by outsiders. For such a reason, it had Blue Forces dispersed in it.

Armless and the other six were currently making their way through the north-western main tunnel to reach the new castle. Despite the darkness, they easily defeated every Blue Force member they encountered. The powerful Gold Gang Electeds were determined to continue their journey and the presence of the opposing forces was not enough to deter them.

Despite their expertise in the acts of murder, one of the Electeds had to die in blocking a Blue Force's bite aimed at Max's neck. His bleeding to death was something that kept replaying in the Vampire Slave's memory. An Elected of the remaining ones happened to be a friend of the deceased, and therefore he felt amenable to carry the dead body with him.

In spite of their rigid persona, Max learned that the Electeds could speak, just that it was part of their training to favor silence all the time; they could easily become good friends with introverts, well.

Max attempted to use Void Emotion multiple times as his small group encountered the Blue Forces, but he consistently failed to pass the trials. Despite his repeated attempts, the Vampire System failed to provide him with any notifications regarding the weapon. Nevertheless, he could still observe an icon on the left side of the screen indicating that the weapon remained present within the system.

Their journey was a long one but was coming to an end just like any other thing else ends with time.

And it was at this moment that Armless shifted back to her Human form since there happened to be no Blue Force nearby. "Why do you look so freaked?" she questioned Max's frozen face with a giggle. Her flower scent was nowhere to be found, replaced by desiccated blood odor embracing her whole body.

"So deadly ya are more than ya look to appear." Max walked away into the door they just unlocked, the welcoming silent darkness giving him some sort of comfort as the four Electeds followed behind him. "When is all this ending?" he sounded exhausted.

[You are in need of human blood]

'Come on Maxy, don't complain that this is not how you should be living your life. You brought yourself here, and you must not give up.'

"I think you still have the map with you?" Armless advised Max to bring out the map.

Max sighed. With the wet map in his hand out from his dress, a red dot blinked indicating where Evelyn was. Unknowingly and all softly, he glued his eyes at it doubtingly.

"In my opinion, the second phase of the battle will soon start, so it is advisable you stop freaking, okay?" Armless slowly walked towards the final exit of the neverending darkness. "Or do you want to rest more?"

'So I had been resting, huh?'

[Blood Time: 5h: 4m: 1s remaining]

[Drink a human's blood to avoid turning into a Wild Vampire]

'Stop showing me this you damned fucker! Where in the hell do you want me to get a human's blood?'

Max slowly followed closely behind her. "Is Robert still damming trailing us?" His voice was frustrated and tired.

Robert was simply a pain in the ass. Knowing he was inside the tunnel from far behind, they had to rush all their way or else the situation would get worse and impossible to handle.

Without a response, Armless simply nodded. "I don't hope so." she finally said after some thought. "Don't be afraid to kill whoever tries to kill you. This is my advice, I personally don't like how you were earlier fighting with mercy."

Max's face appearing exceptionally moody, he thought: 'Ha, ha, ha funny. Here comes the greatest joke of my life. Did I ever tell you that I am a fighter? No, I am fucking not a fighter alright! If Gold really meant a good deal, why hasn't he sent you people on your own? Oh fuck, as if I can patienly wait for you.'

Thank goodness, Max's moody face didn't show his thoughts or else he would have appeared extremely angry and frustrated which was... funny.

Not shifting into any form, Armless calmly waited for an Elected to unlock the next door. Descently confusing that she had a key to every locked door they came across.

'Who knows what her past looks like to have access to each door.'

It took the Elected some while but finally, the door was unlocked and opened. Pushing its way in through the door was an eye blinding white light. The six invaders were in the darkness for a long time, and thus, it took a while for their eyes to welcome the irritating sudden change.

Ahead of them, appearing to their view in her full strength and glory of a royal spirit, a gentle, beautiful lady in a white wedding gown awaited their arrival. Royal Forces plus an outstanding aged man noticed their presence, but none of them even moved as a result of shock or something like. It was as if they could mean no harm to any of them.

"What took you so long, gentlemen and woman, to keep the only Princess of her father wait this long?" Hazel addressed Max and his people, her eyes on Armless.

Concurrently, "I AM SHITTING ALL OF YOU TO YOUR DEATHS!" Robert's voice mixed with the anger of seeing his people dead all the way down here greeted Max's ears out from the dark tunnel.

'Oh my damned fuck.' Max's eyes widened. It felt to him like his greatest damnation was telling him "Greetings, Maximus."


Kapitel 25: Gruesome Emotions

Apart from Robert's angry greeting, a different irritating sound demanded Max's attention at the same moment:

Beep-

Beep-

Beep-

.

.

.

"Huh?" His thoughts box in some kind of dismantled shape, Max averted his gaze away from the beauty staring directly at his group and brought out something from his ninja-like black robe.

Something was wrong here.

The map they had been following was beeping and glowing red intensely. Unintentionally pointing it directly at Hazel, that is the beauty currently staring at him with fury, the beeping stopped and the red glow slowly died.

'Wait...'

Taking it away from her direction:

Beep-

Beep-

Beep-

.

.

.

'What does this mean?' Max questioned in his mind with bafflement, not that needed an answer.

Her beautiful face looking tense and ahead, "I guess something's wrong with the map?" Armless whispered to Max, now ready for a while to shift into the Mighty form.

Her next shift would be in order to fight the group of Royal Forces, Blue Forces, Cameron, Robert, and the Crowned Luna Princess if need be. A group that she never anticipated nor calculated to tackle their plans and movements this easily.

Max couldn't say anything back to her, being at the peak of confusion... The map was supposed to behave like that if, definitely, he were to find Evelyn.

Cameron's voice all smug and prideful, "Armless, long time. As far as I'm alive, how can you ever think of outsmarting me?" His voice was calm when he joked to no one in particular. "By force or by peace, Royal Forces, arrest them all and lock them away." he majestically ordered with a few backward steps.

The Royal Forces with no word uttered initiated obeying the command. Two of the Electeds standing in the forefront easily dealt with their first two prey and threw them back to where they came from.

"Hazel..."

Proving Max's assumptions, the map responded to Hazel who ignored Cameron and proceeded towards them:

Beep-

Beep-

BEep-

BEEp-

BEEP-

And before...

BBOOOMMMBBBB!!!

And before anyone could react, orange, condensed fire exploded circularly and powerfully like the force of nature.

Protectively, Cameron — therefore as well as Hazel — got covered by the bodies of the Royal Forces as fast as lightning. On the other part, Max's group together with Robert and his proceeding men were thrown a step or two due to the sheer force of the explosion.

Then the hungrily insane fire followed soon; it was time to eat and kill, the chore of every fire.

But then, something unscientific started happening. The time stopped ticking in the eyes of Max. Was it, was that possible?

It both happened instantly: The time stopped and the explosive fire was already eating Max's body from up to down. He could see in his hand the map producing wildly spreading orange fire freezing like orange soft ice.

'How? What... is going on here?'

Looking ahead, Max was surprised to see that none of the Royal Forces in white could move towards him anymore, nor the beauty nor the man accompanying her nor the Gold fighters. It seemed like a movie was paused using a remote control exempting him, indeed.

"Beautiful, isn't it Aximus?" A voice questioned in calmness as a metallic stick hit the floor in succession.

Turning about, "Granny?" Max guessed as his searching brown eyes landed on the white haired tall, old woman. Looking into the white slits of her eyes, he felt some sudden sadness enveloping him. For no reason, those eyes reminded him of that night when he met her in his desperate situation.

'Penelope is stopping the time?'

"I am disappointed in you." Penelope said as the orange fire from the spreading bomb made a clear division between her and the Vampire Slave. "I trusted making a deal with you and you broke the deal, so the trust. Trusting you was somewhat puerile." Her face was emotionless.

A lot of ticking seconds casually passed.

"Am... am curious." Max struggled to find his words out of his mouth. After some tim… after some while, "Ya can freeze the time." he whispered.

Passing through the frozen orange fire which felt neither cold nor hot, Max stood right in front of Penelope:

He looked tired and beaten, bloody and pitiful, exhausted like a soldier from a war he was losing. His charming height being the same as the old woman's good height, with the orange fire behind them and the frozen people around them, it was all a rare art of beauty. The way she looked at him, it felt more like his mother, Addison.

"No. Wrong." Penelope glanced around her from the sides. "I can only make us behave faster than time does." Her aged voice was colder than usual;

Scary in some way;

Evil sounding in its way.

Something squeezed Max's heart in emotional pain.

'If so then why didn't you use it in finding Evelyn since from the beginning?'

Max could already imagine her response if he were to ask his mind out. "Too many secrets ya can do, too many secrets ya can hide. Ya hide too much from me. What happened ah couldn't find ya three days before our promised day? Where have ya been?"

"Did you use Spider Vision?" Penelope grinned her gums.

"Not the response ah expect." Max clenched his fists.

"Admit it!" She soundlessly but hardly slammed her metallic stick on the floor. "Did you use the Spider Vision Gift!"

"Yeah, ah did! A'had no option!" In a raging-calm voice, "Ya never explained why ah shouldn't, and ya were gone when we needed ya the most." he added and clenched his fists tighter. His voice was calm unlike his face.

"And our deal says what?"

"Damn that trash deal! Where is Evelyn? Why is the map exploding! Lucas told me, and I'm starting to believe him truly, that ya, of all people, is setting me up for a reason ah can't tell. Why! Penelope? What games are ya playing around with my life? Why me? Where did ah wrong ya?"

Penelope turned her back towards Max. "The answers to these questions are related to The Mind. And The Mind is none of your business." she said calmly.

"Mind." Max squinted his eyes. "What mind?" He unconsciously clenched his hair in his right hand and brushed it backwards.

"I'm here to tell you one thing, that from today, from now on, you will be imprisoned for attempting murdering the Crowned Luna Princess on her ceremonial mating day." Penelope said as she started walking away, her stick in her firm grip hitting the floor to produce a series of gentle metal sounds. "Like that, you are staying away from the remaining Gifteds. It's for the sake of clarity."

White mist suddenly engulfed the time-frozen atmosphere. "But ah trusted you like a guardian." Max's voice resounded with pain through the mist.

In echoes did Penelope replied coldly:

"Trust no one."

.

.

"Trust no one."

.

.

"Trust no one."

And then Max blacked out as soon as he heard the reverberating sound of the returning explosion.

I named this chapter Gruesome Emotions because honestly speaking, when reading it, I just felt like I'm Max. I felt some gruesome emotions that words can't describe. After trusting Penelope like a mother, she ends up setting him up? I hope she better have a good reason in the upcoming chapters or else, as the author, I'll take good care of her.
