Flavius and Herminia holding their helmet by their armored side, running towards the path where they previously felt great concentration of strong wind. Jared should be there. They perceived.
From afar with no surprise they saw Jared able to walk in spite of flying slowly coming straight to them.
"Lord Jared!" They called as they rushed to him, Jared looked at them.
"Oh, Caneloveft and Herminia, how are you doing?" He asked as he stopped.
"Yeah. We are fine," Flavius said with his chin-up, "no big deal as usual."
"I'd suspected it was you two who came with Gage and Dante but I couldn't figured it out all due to her Red-blooded armor which changes each time she consume… why are you guys still in the red-capped Royal Guard? Your separate abilities are good enough to be among the blue-capped squad."
"It's fashion of course!" Flavius leaned forward, "it goes well with the color of the EXTERMINATOR's ribbon-cape… "
"Geez, Flavius," Herminia placed her hand on her forehead, "how many times should I tell you colors doesn't matter, I only followed because—"
"No, it matters a lot, Herminia…" Flavius interrupted as he stared into Herminia's hazel eyes, "red, green, brown, blue, orange, purple, yellow, pink, greenish-brown you name it, each and every one of them have their behavioristic psychology. And we all know my favorite among them is red— red means danger—and strength—and passion—and ambition—and—"
Jared interrupted, "Caneloveft?"
Flavius turned to him, "Lord Jared?"
Jared stared at them for a while.
"When are you desiring to take vows? Have you picked a date yet?" He asked with little or no thoughts in it.
Flavius blinked as Herminia lowered her colored face then she flashed a smile.
"… To take vows?... But… " Flavius rolled his blue eyes to Herminia, "Herminia… d-did you tell him?"
"No…" her face was still lowered, "… I told Great grandmother…"
"Great grandmother?! I thought we both decided not to tell a soul… Gosh! By now she would have tell every Humanes she sees! This is no longer a secret marriage rite if—" Flavius walked to the wall as he placed his hand against it with his head lowered. The thought of him having a grand marriage rite in the middle of the towering Colosseum in front of many spectators would be frightening.
Hahahaha. Jared laughed hard while holding his belly.
Flavius and Herminia blinked, both their face turned to him. They had never seen Jared smile talk-less of laughing this hard.
Did he hit his head or something? Flavius wondered.
"Sorry, Herminia, Caneloveft. I guess I missed those days when we trained at the Colosseum, it was fun—"
Suddenly a deep cry was heard above them.
"Going somewhere?!" The henchman with the brown dreadlocks came charging at them while lifting a fist about punching Jared midair— a large hammer bashed him by his chin as he was sent flying back to the dark skies above, creating a light shockwave enough to fluster Jared's clothes.
"What a hit!" a familiar voice said, "But I can't actually see how much he flew like he just disappeared." It was the Inhumane then he glowed in white, placing the large hammer on his shoulder and his hand above his eyebrows staring up to the dark skies then looked at Jared with a smile. "You're welcome."
Jared sighed deeply.
"Where are the remaining Divine Humanes?" Jared asked, turning to Flavius ignoring the glowing Inhumane.
Flavius unknowingly pointed to the other side while glancing at the glowing Inhumane, contemplating; how is he helping us? Did he know Lord Jared from somewhere? Is he his lost child? Is lord Jared his stepfather?--
"--We saw lightnings along with loud noises coming from that way, maybe from Lord Abbey." Herminia responded staring to the direction.
"Great, let's get going then." Jared said, leading the way still ignoring some glowing being behind him.
"Uhm, Lord Jared, isn't that one of the bounty collector's henchmen, why did he help you?" Flavius inquired from Jared, uncertain why in the world is he here?
"I don't know, I don't care," Jared answered, coldly as he walked towards where Abbey might be.
"Alright, Lord Jared… now he's following us," Flavius told, staring at the smiling Inhumane walking majestically behind them. Well, at least his glowing ability makes our paths more clearer to move.
Jared stopped then turned to the glowing Inhumane,
"I know what you're thinking, kid."
"Kid?" Herminia repeated, turning to the glowing Inhumane also.
"And what is that Lord Jared~?" the inhumane asked, rolling his eyes to his lower left.
"… I told her so many times, I'm not interested..." Jared revealed.
Herminia looked at Flavius as he did also, both trying to figure out the relationship between the two. Flavius already thinking maybe he was right, maybe Lord Jared is his step father running away from his responsibilities.
"Of what actually?" The Inhumane scratched his glowing chin, rolling his eyes to the upper left then his eyes widened, "Oh, I see. Well that's a total bummer, my Aunty on the other hand is living the life of her dream as I speak with her husband and their seventh child! Soooo~ she has totally forgotten about you. No interest in you whatsoever."
'Aunty?' Flavius and Herminia wondered as the white glows illuminated on them.
"Thank goodness," Jared sighed in relief, then he continued his walk.
"Lord Jared… what does that mean? Is there an 'Aunty' in your life, you haven't tell anyone about?" Flavius asked as Herminia nodded at his question, just what was on her mind too.
"It means nothing Flavius, let's go check if Abbey is doing okay," Jared responded without looking back.
"Lord Abbey? We should worry more about his opponents well-being—" Herminia related.
"I'm following you to the Humane Kingdom, Lord Jared. You kinda… how should I put it. You inspired me, Lord Jared." The glowing Inhumane revealed.
Everyone stopped then Flavius and Herminia looked at Jared, wondering what was that about then the Inhumane scratched his glowing spiky hair,
"Alright, I will come clean. I have no where to go to. I was kicked out by my aunt's husband before all these for some reason I wish not to disclose... and knowing I betrayed the Bounty Collector, the only place I'd called a home… I have nobody, okay?"
"... I saw one more Royal Guard with you two inside the bounty collector's lair, where did the third one ran off to?" Jared questioned.
"Uhm… actually," Flavius blinked, He wasn't sure when or where the third Royal Guard was. Not telling each other which potency they possess at the first meeting was a bad idea.
Then something in form of a creamy slime crawled towards them, rose up in a figure-like shape as it changed into an armoured being in red cape.
"I'm here, Lord Jared." The armored figure said with a bow,
The glowing Inhumane smirked.
"Cool, sneaky potency; I like it." He puts a thumbs up to her.
"I perceived you have gone through every places in this city, right?" Jared interrogated.
"Yes, Lord Jared. I inspected not only every places in the city but even the tunnels the so called Frankenstein built, I also caught a glimpse of the strange boy that created the green glows earlier."
"Green glows? It was the cause of a boy? How old?" Flavius asked. Now, things are getting a little bit stranger in the city of the bounty hunters.
Is the boy with the green glows even an Inhumane?
