The skies were clear above that calm main street outside the book store unlike what's inside, there was an unstoppable force colliding with an immovable object, tow legends collided in a deep staring contest that ended by a certain detective blowing a big cloud of smoke and
Saying: I don't like you...
Keet sarcastically said: join the club they got matching t-shirts and all.
Luke angry: and I'll find out what you hiding...
at that moment Luke has just noticed that black cat on the edge of that desk, the cat was staring at him with eyes glowing with hate and rage as if it's waiting to jump on him but the strange thing is that the cat's stance wasn't aggressive or even defensive it was normal stance as if it wasn't truly afraid of the detective though he looked intense the cat kept looking to its master every now and then as if it's waiting for a command to bounce on Luke who finally spoke: the weird is getting weirder.
Keet who probably didn't hear most of the detective's sharp words said: Leo sit.
The cat easily sat down -like a trained dog- where it stood and didn't move a muscle or made a sound for the rest of the conversation that ended by the detective saying after a while of amazement silence: fine you win weirdo.
and he left without saying bye but Keet smiled at him as he left -as if he was an old friend but Luke wasn't going to leave him be for as he is amazed by the book store owner's spirit and his strange cat and his outstanding reputation but he feels down his bones a deep secret lies behind him and as a detective, he wasn't going to let this go, and that leaves us to the real question, what will Keet do and is he even aware of the detective's persistence or not.

Meanwhile, a certain wizard was attending a meeting in an infamous coffeehouse with a very fine lady with an old but distinguished sense of fashion from the former century, the two met eyes for a while until Damien decided to say: to what do I owe the pleasure of your visit my Queen?
His Queen: what's your plane here, Duke Damien?
Damien: concerning what exactly, your majesty?
Her Majesty: you know of whom I speak Duke, so please just tell me of your intentions towards my brother.
Damien decided to come straight forward and said: you know that I feel responsible of the way things have turned, and I believe that he can be so much more than just a hunter of half demons, but why does he hate them so much?
The Queen: one of them was responsible for the death of our parents.
Damien: This is the first time I know of that, my Queen I'm so sorry for your loss.
The Queen: it's ok Dam, you know what my mother always used to say?
Accidents are a necessary first step towards wonders.
I didn't understand it then but I do now, it was horrible what happened to them but it was a step further towards our destiny and it wasn't so bad after all.
Damien listened carefully and looked really interested of knowing more about the queen of the mage order and first protector against darkness, but tonight they were just to people in a coffeehouse talking in a very beautiful evening.
.............
after Damien's date he knew it was the time to work harder in a hope to impress his queen for he didn't show it but she meant to him much more than he showed her for she was why he volunteered to join the highest order of mage to be a barrier against evil and to be the servant of reality, but how can he make out of math murderer a hero and how is he going to make a soldier out of a hunter though the difference was small but it wasn't simple, he got tired of thinking and slowed down his steps but then he remembered his queen and why is he doing this so he got better and his steps speed ahead and he said: for you only my queen, at all costs, I promise.
