Chereads / Verge: It all started here / Chapter 8 - Aftermath II

Chapter 8 - Aftermath II

Sylvia fall back on her bed and closed her eyes to relive every moment she had witnessed today, even she was not prepared for what has happened today.

Nina falls on Sylvia's bed beside her without caring much about Sylvia and uttered, "He was really furious", looked towards Sylvia.

"Who was furious?", asked Sylvia.

"Aragorn", she replied.

Sylvia looked towards Nina, she doesn't think about Aragorn until now but she now realised he was tired and furious and was surely enraged.

Sylvia, "how is this possible for someone to get inside Verge."

Nina was playing with her hair, "Don't know, Master always told me nothing can enter Verge without permission of Directors."

Sylvia suddenly got up and uttered, "You aren't saying that someone from Verge is responsible for this."

Nina, "Don't know, it seems almost impossible for anyone to get through the protection of NavMani, and it never happened in the history of Verge, so I'm not sure."

Sylvia, "I don't know but I have a gut feeling it is somewhat connected to that Anayan brat which came today."

Suddenly she got up and started moving towards the door and flung it open, Nina jumped from Sylvia's bed and started following her.

They were crossing flanks and corridor one after another, Sylvia seems desperate about knowing what is happening she always hated overthinking and hence best option was to ask Rudra about him and try to connect dots if any although she wasn't planning to do this peacefully and within few minutes they both were standing in front of their door.

Nina knocked it once.

Xian shouted to enquire when Rudra opened the door.

Sylvia drew her dagger and jumped towards Rudra and with a blink of an eye Rudra was lying on the floor and Sylvia's dragger was on his throat, she shouted: "What you did?"

Rudra grabbed her hand when Xian uttered, "There are other ways to ask this question, Sylvia". Rudra forced her down and uttered, "Insanity seeps everyone here".

"His presence has something demonic, the Verge is experiencing unwanted consequences just after he came here", replied Sylvia in anger.

"Are you dumb or what ?", replied Rudra, without thinking much Sylvia was again on her front foot to attack when Xian came in between and said, "let's sit and understand what's really happening here, everything is going out of context here."

Nina, "Sylvia think that your friend is the reason why Xandrix attacked Verge and were able to infiltrate although I doubt that as it is almost impossible", Xian moved his head in affirmation and then questioned, "so obvious conclusion is someone from Verge allowed them to get inside, and I don't know which Professor we should doubt. Do you have anyone in mind ?"

"No but everything starts from this friend of yours and I presume he is the one who had a connection with Xandrix and bought them here", replied Sylvia.

"Rudra, told me he had heard Professor Czar and Aragorn talking about an attack on cognition cluster, and there's only one way to find out and that's to check dungeon where they simulate the real ones", said Xian.

They all were silent for few moments when Nina added, "attack by Darians is common and Verge have been saving them without much effort but .. "

Sylvia uttered in between, "I thought simulations were rumours and that information should be classified, so how you are so sure about it ?"

"We all have ears mine work perfectly sometimes, you know what I'm talking about", Xian winked.

"We all will be breaking the 12th law for Apprentice and you all understand repercussions", added Nina.

"Hell! with the law ", added Sylvia.

"Why don't we leave and let professionals deal with it ", Rudra.

"What happened the great Anayan is afraid, or our adorable Anyan wants me to bring baby food for him ", teased Sylvia.

"What's your problem women ?", Rudra replied annoyingly.

"I'm not going to allow anyone to perpetrate drivel again, last time thousand died when Xandrix reached stars", she replied.

"This whole existence is about death", Nina was thinking something else when she added these lines.

"We need to think everything thoroughly before taking any decision although I'm aware Sylvia and Nina both of you are very well versed warrior, Rudra just came here we need to give him time to settle and understand a few aspects at least", Xian looked towards Nina for the affirmative reply and she smiled back.

"We should leave him, why we have to restrain ourselves because of the paucity of someone else", Sylvia looked in the eyes of Rudra with anger.

Rudra was going to reply when Xian came in between and uttered, "we must solicit information and Gyaan first if we are planning to go to Dungeon."

Sylvia sighed but nodded her head in affirmation.
