"Sorry son. Your mother and I have to go."
Daemon was back home and was seeing his parents off with Lily grabbing onto the bottom of his shirt.
"Not...surprised.."
Daemon placed his hand on top of his sisters head as he felt the tension in her rise. 'They can't say it that bluntly in front of a child..' Daemon sighed at his parents negligence in how to be proper parents.
"Honey, we have to go back to Japan and settle a few more things. After that, we plan on..."
His mother and father held hands and smiled.
"We plan on retiring."
It took a few seconds for Daemon to process what he just heard. 'What? Retiring? Are they really?...'
"Does that mean..that mommy and daddy will be home more?"
Lily asked with a concerned face. She didn't know if they were saying that just to reassure them, or if they were telling the actual truth.
"Yes dear. We will finally be able to come home and be proper parents. We know...that we aren't the best parents, and we know that we have no say in most things, but please Lily. Daemon..."
Mother kneeled down and placed her hands on top of their heads.
"Please let us do this. Please give us one more chance...to make things right between us."
His Mother started crying while his father looked away into a cry. 'They really are trying...' Daemon looked down and saw his sister crying while rapidly nodding.
"Yes! Please mommy, daddy~....I just want you to come home.."
His mother slightly laughed while nodding. She then slowly looked up at Daemon who was starring directly into her eyes.
"Mom, Dad, I..."
His mother and father were now hugging him. They were shocked that they ended up in this position out of no where, but their confusion died down when they heard his next words.
"Please come home. We miss you."
Daemon never showed his parents the respect that children would usually show their parents. Whenever they would appear, which was rare, he would ignore them and just say that their wasting their time when they themselves know that apologies won't work. Hearing his words, seeing his mouth move, forming those words, it made them...
Happy.
"Daemon. You grew up in a blink of an eye. I'm...proud of you son."
His parents hugged him tighter. Lily pouted from being excluded so she joined in as well. They sat in the hallway in a huddle like that for a solid hour. After that, they really had to leave.
"We love you both very much. Have fun in those dungeons. Be careful too."
His mother kissed them both on their lips as apparently parents do that in America.
"My little seed. That guy you brought in may be...well a guy, but don't let that control you, okay? Go for it! We support you!"
He patted Daemon's head while laughing. His mother and sister laughed as well, causing him to sigh.
"Bye, bye."
They waved at them as they opened the door and left. Their was a limo waiting for them in the street.
"Let's go clean up Lily."
Daemon took her small hand and she nodded.
"Yes.."
....
"Young men. Young men!"
Daemon and Lucifer looked up and stared. They saw a skinny man with brown skin and black hair and eyes included standing over them.
"Phones are not allowed in class! Do not let me have to tell you this again!"
He screamed at the two as they pulled an earphone out. They were sharing a set while listneing to music.
"Okay. We understand."
The teacher scoffed at that and walked away while continuing to teach the class. While they were in a juniors class, they would not have to learn the material they were taking as they would still be taking 10th grade test.
What the eleventh graders were learning now was a method to cast magic without saying the words. Its called 'No chant'. Like the name implies, it helps them chant without...chanting. Basically, all they would need to do is think it.
Its very hard to do as it takes a lot of concentration. That with fighting monsters in the dungeons equals stupidly hard.
BZZ!
Something in Daemon's right pocket vibrated. 'Must be the old man..' Not that many people had his contact info. Daemon the pulled his phone out and hid it under his desk.
(Who is it?)
Whispered Lucifer as he looked down at his phone as well.
(Its the old man. He probably has a job ready..)
Daemon then went to the message and it read: "Simple ease dropping job. At the port, Jamie Gilbert will be meeting up with 'Associates' about weapon dealings. Gain any sort of information and relay it back."
They both read over it then looked up at each other.
(Pretty simple right?)
(Yeah, but when-)
BZZ!
Another message appeared on Daemon's phone. They both then looked down at it and it read: "Saturday, August 9th 2121. You will have the entire day to complete it. Good luck."
(Nevermind.)
Lucifer seemed satisfied now.
(Are you able to make it?)
(Hm? Oh, yes. I'm free.)
(Perfect. We can discuss the important details later.)
Lucifer was confused by that. 'Important details? What else is there to the mission?' Noticing his confused expression, Daemon put his phone away and smiled.
(First off, weapons. Every Assassin/spy needs one. Second off, apperance. I look different to people, so I'm fine. You however can't show up like you are now. If we're found out then they could easily find your face.)
Lucifer took the information in while slowly nodding. 'Wait, everyone sees him different right? Isn't that weird? His parents have completely different hair than he does too...'
Lucifer was confused on how no one complains about him looking completely different from his parents. Happening to peek in on his thoughts, Daemon smiled.
(A mutation. You know how people have those right?)
Lucifer wasn't surprised that he read his mind. Instead, he snapped his finger as if he found the answer and he did.
A mutation is something that's rare among people. Someone might have 3 nostrils or 4 legs. That's a mutation. And if your wondering how rare it is, it is stated to only happen to about 7 people in the world every 100 years. Daemon is one of those rare people obviously. His mutation is classified as 'Color perception'. That means that people see him in different colors when regarding the hair and eyes.
(Hey. What weapons..do you think I'm good at?)
Because of his photographic memory magic, Lucifer is able to use almost any weapon with unparalleled control. YouTube plays a huge help in that.
(All we need is a silenced pistol and a knife. You can use a knife well I presume. What about a gun?)
Lucifer went into thought. 'I can use knives as I have those lying around in a drawer in my kitchen, but a gun?...'
He wasnt so sure. A gun in this day and age are hard to come by, meaning hes never used one. Well he has seen how to use one, but he actually has to touch that weapon to fully understand it. A part of his Magic. He has to actually touch the weapon before all the knowledge can be useful. This only applies to weapons by the way.
(Well, your taking a while to answer so I'll just assume no. Don't worry. I can show you one. Here.)
A gun appeared in Daemon's hand, surprising him a bit. 'Oh, yeah. I forgot..' He laughed awkwardly and picked up the gun. When he did, a surge of information then went through his head.
After a while, he was playing with the gun like hes been using it since birth.
(Well, now your ready. We just need to go shopping for a change of looks..)
Daemon had something in mind. 'So, I need to get a make over? Something that's permanent, but not permanent..' An idea then came to Lucifers head, but Daemon already had him beat.
(Crossdressing.)
