Chereads / The Atlantean Compensator / Chapter 89 - Three Months Later

Chapter 89 - Three Months Later

After that, Herald carried the guy to a safe place and left him to regain his consciousness.

Then went back fast to his home, he was in fact scared of this experience!

His troubled mind cut off his connection with Ether as well.

He got quickly in, removed his clothes and entered the bathroom, he had to calm himself through the water flowing down on his body.

His eyes were all open, but he wasn't looking anywhere. He was just overthinking what happened.

'...I just killed a demon! I killed it...

I killed, with my own hands...I took his life.

I know it's a demon, so why my hands are shaking...Why do i feel terrible inside!!??

Is it his Venom!?? Did he cast a curse on me???

No...

He said something in the lines of...Being immune!

I'm immune to his venom...'

Herald could not detect the source of his uneasy feeling because it was very recent, the reality of the matter is he felt terrible because of the whole experience, of seeing demons and making direct connection with them, touching them even... They're a terrifying entity, a creature that feeds on darkness and negativity!

Herald's thoughts were just like the water drops.

...

"...Maybe i should've stayed just like Oumad and Joshou!

I hate this place, and i can no longer feel like i belong to the people either..."

Sebastin mumbled to himself as he was walking down the streets of his city, lone and calm he walks thinking of his current situation and what's ahead of him now.

So far, he hasn't really done anything. His old friends don't know he's here even!

He keeps himself in the shadows, only goes out late at night because only then he feels free!

He feels free to fly how he wants, to move how he wants...

He has his own spots where he can look on all of the city from above, while playing his music on his ears! To him, living this isn't even that exciting anymore.

His superpowers are normal, what made him enjoy it again was finding out he's not alone.

So...Why was he back then??

Before going to the trip, he used to come in parties and work as a DJ.

He's pretty much known in the night streets, he has great talent as eveybody tells him so.

Now, he doesn't even feel like going to them anymore.

Early in the morning, as he was sleeping in the house he was left.

Somebody knocked his door.

He ofcourse heard it, but didn't want to open...

The knocking didn't stop, and he became irritated by it!

Finally, he decided to see who's knocking for this long.. Waking up all messy, he opens the door.

To find a beautiful, blonde young female standing!

Sebastin was a bit shocked, and didn't know what to say at first.

So she started talking first.

"...Hey! Am sorry to wake you up this early.

But I was passing by your house and thought that you may be back by now.

So i checked."

Sebastin, trying to fix his hair and clothes. "Oh..Lawra!

Welcome...

Come in!"

So her name is Lawra!

She went in, and he closed the door.

"I wasn't expecting you to come..." He said.

Lawra. "Yeah well, i was back here about two weeks ago...

I asked the people who know you and they said you were gone on a trip. Was that true?"

Sebastin. "Yes... What about you?

What brought you back here again?"

Lawra, looking straight to his eyes. "I came back alone, We're no more together."

The atmosphere arround them shifted, and an awkward silence took place.

She continued. "Was it a nice trip?"

Sebastin. "..Yeah! Definitely a nice one."

"Am glad to know, good to see you doing well Sebastin.

I'll be going now."

Sebastin. "You can stay more if you want to, i have some coffee."

Lawra. "No it's alright, I got somethings to do.

See you later!"

Sebastin opens for her the door, and just keeps looking as she went her way...

It seems like these two, have a special history!

...

As for Elara, her family could tell the difference from before and now.

She talks more, she smiles more, she moves more.

As her father would tell his wife. "...Don't you think it's weird? I mean it's splendid how she would have such change this late, after all those years."

"Yeah I can't really guess what may have happened to her in those three months, could it be....??"

Her mother asked.

The father. "Hmmmmmm, I don't really know... I guess you were the same before we loved each other?"

Elara suddenly comes out and asks. "Hey can i go out for some time?"

She asked so spontaneously, but her request catched her parents off guard, and shocked!

"Euu...uuuh Where?

Where you want to go honey?" The mother asked.

Elara. "Just nearby, to the closest garden."

The father. "Do you need me to keep you company?"

Elara. "No no, don't bother yourself dad.

I won't be late."

The mother. "Be careful please!"

"Don't worry!" said Elara as she got out.

The two parents left staring at each other, they were certainly glad about it but there is also an element of worrying and curiosity, to what may have changed their daughter to the better.

...

As for Ayla, she is now giving all her time to her parents, making up for all the lost time.

Her mother's state got worse, she could notice from the skin color and the pain she would usually suffer from.

So she decided to try and see if her powers can heal her, or atleast make it less painful.

She waited until everybody was asleep, so they won't notice the lights coming out of her...

And began the healing process!
