章 6: The Silver Masked Man
"Your Eminence, are you sure you don't want me to follow you?" Rambo said, persuading his master.
The man's eyes travel down to the strong hand holding him back from going into the cave. He slowly places his palm on it as looks up to meet the eyes of his subordinate. He narrowed his eyes and slowly shook his head, rejecting the offer from his subordinate.
Zambo seeing the determined look on his master's expression release his hold, on his master's arm and apologise.
"I apologize for my actions." He said, his voice filled with sincerity.
His Master nods his head at him in acknowledgment and walks into the grimy cave. His subordinate positions himself right outside the cave as he lets out his true form and heightens all his senses.
Zambos' Master kept walking inside the cave without shuddering. He used his vampire eyes to scan the areas of the dark cave. His shoes kept making a crisp sound with each step he took.
He follows a narrow path that leads him inside the deeper part of the cave. The top of the cave has terrifying cowbells hanging down above his head. But that didn't make him stop on his track, as his mind is all made up on his decision.
The narrow path led him to the front of a small stream inside the cave. He stands straight with his shoulders up as he observes the chilly stream in front of him and his surroundings.
A mysterious breeze blew past him making him raise his brows in alertness. He didn't twitch on his steps but stared calmly at the stream. In a flash, a figure of a Man wrapped up in a Dark Red Coat and black pants. Appears right in front of him full of vigor.
The figure had his entire face covered with a silver mask revealing only his iced blue eyes. He stands a few meters away from the man, observing him closely.
"When are you going to reveal yourself to me?" The Man in black(Your Eminence) questions the Man in the –Silver Mask without batting an eye.
The man draped in a dark red coat chuckles lightly which resonates inside the cold cave. He crossed his arms at his back and raised his eyes to meet the eye of the man in a black cape.
"That you should not be 'Bothered With' Marcus." He declared, dragging his words.
"What should it be then?" Marcus asked while raising his eyes in a questioning gaze.
"On how to become the great ruler of the Mystic World." The Silver masked man countered in a deep voice, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Marcus raised his lips in an evil grin upon hearing his words.
"Why do I smell sarcasm in your words?" He asked unfazed.
"I just stated the fact. You can think whatever you want." The silver masked man replied, smirking.
"You must have heard about the prophecy?" Marcus implored, looking into his eyes which were visible from the mask.
"The one who will cause serious destruction to the mystic world," Marcus added while expecting a response from the silver-masked man.
"What do you intend to do about it?" The Silver Masked Man implored with raised brows. Marcus swallowed hard and continued.
"Him going to bring destruction means he's my problem also," Marcus said, his shoulders tensed.
"Him?" The silver masked man asked, with raised brows.
Marcus didn't say a word but remained silent. The masked man rolled his eyes through the silver mask and asked.
"How do you know it's him?"
Marcus stares at him tongue-tied as he looks confused. The Silver Masked Man clicks his tongue and continues.
"You need to find the one the prophecy speaks of before anyone does." He said in a firm voice.
Marcus narrows his eyes in doubt.
"Why do l need to find him or her?" Marcus asked as he couldn't understand the reason at all.
"The one mentioned in the prophecy is your 'Younger Brother Mergus'. So, you still don't understand??" The masked man retorted, with a raised voice as he shook his head amused.
Marcus widened his eyes as realization hit him hard. An evil smile slowly crept into his face. He ambles toward the Silver-Masked Man. The Masked Man keeps observing him closely with a meaningful gaze.
He steps closer to the Silver Masked Man in majestic steps with his arms folded behind his back. A sly smile appears on his face the moment he stops in front of the Silver-Masked Man.
Marcus gave him a once-over look and started.
"I have always marveled at how you hid so well, neither telling me your name but choosing to always assist me," Marcus explained as he closed their distance.
The Silver Masked Man narrows his eyes at him and steps backward creating a small distance between them.
"As I said earlier, some things are left unknown and that's not your major problem." the Silver Masked Man repeated in a stern voice. His iced blue eyes glared daggers at Marcus.
Marcus smirked and nodded his head in understanding and turned to leave.
"The earlier the better." The Silver Masked Man reminded in a firm voice before he disappeared like he never came. Leaving a gust of smoke behind.
Marcus slowly swerved his body by the side and glanced at the place where the Silver Masked Man was standing prior. The light in his eyes slowly dims.
'One day, I will find out who you truly are and what your aim is?" He proclaimed in his mind before leaving the cave.
Marcus joined his subordinates who had been waiting outside the cave for him.
"Your Eminence."
Zambo acknowledged him the moment he stepped out of the cave. Marcus nods at him and stands beside him. Zambo stares at him unblinking, his eyes full of questions that need answers.
Noticing the questioning gaze directed at him by his subordinate, Marcus started.
"We will talk when we get back, but first l need you to do something interesting for me," Marcus said while raising the edge of his lips in an evil grin.
He waves his hand for Zambo to get closer, Zambo scooted nearer to him and gave him his pointed ears. Marcus whispered something to him that made the both of them curve their lips in a creepy smile.
Zambo straightened himself up. Together, with his master [Marcus] they both transformed into the flying creatures of the night[Bat] and flew back to where they came from.
Just as they leave, a figure hiding in the dark appears and stares at the cave they visited. Their eyes filled with blood lust.
