Chereads / Blood of Magnus / Chapter 13 - The Twins

Chapter 13 - The Twins

Astrid is confused on what Magnus 'acted awhile ago. He was suddenly angry and Astrid did not know what is the reason why he is angry. She is now with the twins. The two of them stared at each other as if they were having a conversation in their minds.

"Do you want to come with us?" Zion offers her. Astrid frowned as she wondered where they were going. She remembered that she is still not allowed to leave the palace.

"Don't worry we will not go outside." Dion assure to her.

"Where are we going?" She curiously asked. She cant hide her excitement because she will see something new. Besides Astrid is bored and she don't know what to do and where to go anymore. She smiled genuinely at them and stand up on her seat.

Zion laughed at Astrid's reaction. "We will show you what we can do." He said while laughing. Dion, on the other hand, seems to be bored and wants to end their conversation.

"Let's go." Dion made a brief announcement and walked ahead. Astrid was surprised as she looked at Zion to find the answer but he just shrugged. Astrid just followed because she could no longer wait for what they would show her.

Astrid remembered that Zion is a researcher while Dion is a weapon maker. That is cool for her. As they walked she noticed that she is not familiar with what they were going through. It's like a hidden place. They reached a thick wooden door and Dion opened it.

Astrid is afraid to continue because she could only see darkness but Dion pressed a switch and the area had light up because of the lamps hanging on the wall. They walked down the stairs led by Dion, she and Zion followed behind her.

Gradually Astrid could see the inside because of the bright light there. All she did was observe because she is amazed that she could no longer speak.

"Woahh .." Astrid said in amusement when they got inside. It is a huge place full of weapon that hangs on the wall. She is familiar with the other weapons because she is seeing it in movies. There are also some that she just saw now.

She roam around l the place until she got satisfied l. She even saw a fireplace and various materials for making weapons. She wanted to touch them but she is hesitant that Dion might forbid him.

"What is this?" She asked as she saw the small silver circle on the stone table.

Zion held the small circle and examined what it was. "Is this a bullet?" He asked on his brother. He even closed one of his eyes as if it is a way to see it well.

"Yes. It's a poisonous bullet. " Confirmation of Dion. Zion immediately bring down the bullet because of what his brother said. Scared that he might poisoned himself because he touched it.

Astrid just stared at the bullet and wondered how anyone who will hit by it would be poisoned because it looks simple.

"The liquid poison is inside the cover. I created the cover that only blood can melt it. Once you get shot by it, the bullet will melt fast because of the blood and the poison will spread on the wound that will cause the victim to not breathe well and will die in just 3 mins. " Dion explained. He doesn't just know how to make weapons because he can do unique things that are unusual.

"This is dangerous." Astrid whispered. Dion smiled as he heard Astrid whisper.

"There is more dangerous than that bullet." He proudly replied to Astrid. She looked at her with surprise. Can't believe what the prince said. Zion shouldered her twin.

"You're always cool dude! I didn't know that you have that poisonous bullet thing!" His brother just looked at him without reaction and removed Zion's embrace with him. He walked over and entered a door.

"That's my place. Come. " He said with her. He even held out his hand to precede to

walk first. Astrid then walked the door that Zion entered.

When Astrid entered, she is overwhelmed by the amount of books she could see. It's too wide and spacious. Compared to the place where Dion works, it is twice the size. The ceiling is high and the bookshelves are also high. There is a staircase to access the books.

"This is huge and amazing." Said Astrid. Entertained by the books she sees around. There is a living room set in the middle, there Zion now sits and there are three more doors to be seen on the right side. Its theme is a mixture of dark brown and white and has a few plants so it is more relaxing to look.

"That first door is the cr. The next door is my office and the last door is my room here. Sometimes when I am studying or researching something I am too lazy to go in my room upstairs. " He even pointed to the doors one by one so that Astrid would know what he was referring to.

Astrid walked over to the books to see it up close. There are numbers for their arrangement.

"Can I visit here sometimes?" She asked energetically. She wants to read as much as possible about this world to find out what kind of life they have here.

"Yes sure! My pleasure princess. " Zion's happy answer to her.

"How can you study here if Dion is also working outside?" She even glanced at Dion who was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.

"My place is soundproof."

Astrid just nodded while still looking at the books. Zion suddenly got up from the sofa and told them to go back upstairs. That's why Astrid just followed them when Zion agreed to leave.

They reached the living room and Astrid immediately saw Magnus sitting there while reading a book. He immediately closed the book when he noticed them. His calm face immediately changed to irritation when she saw Astrid laughing because of her conversation with Zion. He looked at the twins.

"Oh. Oh. " Zion said slowly when he notice Magnus. But he playfully teased Magnus by putting his arms around Astrid's shoulder. Astrid looked at him because she was wondering why Zion suddenly put his arm around her.

"Hey are you nuts?" Dion scolded him but he just winked at his twin and smiled foolishly at Magnus who was now angry by the look of him.

"Watch and learn Dion." He whispered playfully.

"What are you doing?" He dangerously asked Zion when Magnus reached them. Zion pretends to wonder at his brother's question. Astrid just looked at them and she could see the anger building in Magnus.

"What? Im not doing anything. " Smiling he turned to Astrid after he answered Magnus. "You seem tired of what we did. Do you want to rest? " He asked softly.

Magnus was even angrier at what he saw and heard. He is just holding back because he doesn't want Astrid to see his anger. "Hands off." Magnus said seriously. Zion looked back at him and tightened his grip on Astrid. Astrid just kept shocked because she didn't know what was going on.

"I told you Dion. Watch and learn." Zion said as he recovered and stand up.

Magnus glared at his brother and he cant control himself anymore thats why he apparently removed Zion's hand from Astrid and pushed him after that became the reason why Zion landed on the floor. He pulled Astrid away and she cant walk properly because Magnus is walks too fast.
