One hour later
Alexander and Persia reached the araminta's palace.
Although, the palace wasn't so far from Persia's home which isn't far from Alex's home.
They stood and gazed subconsciously at the monstrous gate before them.
The gate was designed exquisitely with the crest of the araminta's family.
The crest looked just like the sun.
Coated in gold, it had a circle in the center and 8 french-curved lines surrounding it.
"Wow" they synchronized, dumbfounded by the beauty before them.
Suddenly, the gate gradually opened when they spotted a being coming through.
He was averagely tall with blonde hair, blue eyes and was dressed in a black and white suit.
He slowly approached them and kept his distance away from them, not too close and not too far from them.
"Welcome" he bowed and greeted meekly "you must be the noble guest of isidore Araminta".
"And you are?" Alexander questioned him.
"Forgive my manners. I am Isidore Araminta's butler and tonight, I will be your host and your guide" He replied them.
His voice was so imperturbable and bland, beautiful enough to put a troubled man at ease at the mention of his first sentence.
"Please, come in" He said to them and took the lead into the araminta's vicinity.
They quietly followed him into the compound and they became dumfounded.
What they sighted was even more magnificent than the gate they admired vividly.
Three beautifully golden painted mansions, taking a castle-like construction.
Each building horizontally placed to each other with the center building being twice as big.
"I understand that this belongs to the royal family but why three buildings?" Persia questioned the butler.
"The royal family is blessed with riches and people of royal blood" the butler replied Persia "Each mansion belongs to each generation from the royal family.
The castle located at the center belongs to the family straight from the first Araminta and it is popularly known as "The pure castle" because it belongs to the family of "pure bloodlines".
They reached the entrance of the pure castle and the butler gradually opened the door.
"Please, come in" The butler requested.
They admired over and over again, completely lost in the beauty of the araminta palace.
The living room was ridiculously large and spacious.
It had 8 columns. set of four at both sides of the room, each placed vertically close to each other.
The living room has two stairs at the ends of the room, leading straight to the upper floor and the living room was covered in decorations and rose flowers.
"Ok this is just said amazing" Alexander said . He smiled constantly, completely out of control whole gazing and admiring the living room.
"Welcome" Alexander and Persia heard a voice coming from the stairs at the left end.
They immediately turned While the butler genuflected without hesitation at the echo of the voice.
The being had a crown and a white pyjamas on covering his entire body.
Alexander immediately knew who was coming down the stairs.
"Isidore Araminta" He called his name.
Persia turned to Alex and wondered how he got to know someone of royal blood.
"You know him" Persia asked his friend.
" I do" Alex replied Persia "he was the one who defeated the beast that attacked our school".
"He had some kind of strange powers" he continued.
Isidore gradually approached them and had a smooth smirk.
"Welcome" He said and turned to the butler who was still on his knee
"Take them to the basement" Isidore commanded.
"Yes master".
The butler got on his feet and together, they headed straight for the basement.
The entered a corner, still in the living room while the butler immediately grabbed a lantern
Alexander and Persia got to the entrance to the basement.
The door was weak and plain wood. It Didn't have any design nor did it have any majestic look.
The butler placed a key and unlocked the door, gradually pushing it with his fingers.
It was very dark and gloomy.
He stroke a match stick and put on his lantern and a spirally-designed staircase was spotted.
Persia had a petrified look while he gazed at the stairs."How scary"
They slowly walked down the stairs, one step at a time.
Alexander and Persia were so frightened and tightly held eachother hands.
"Why is this place so scary?" Persia asked the butler with a voice so aghast.
"This is the basement" the butler replied "It holds every information concerning the royal family and the secrets of the infinites".
"The infinites?" Persia questioned the butler.
They arrived at another door, the entrance to the basement "yes, the Infintes".
The butler immediately unlocked it and opened the door. They marched into the room in hast.
The room was covered in dust and gook. Shelves at the end of each wall filled with different books and documents, and papers scattered on the floor and the table.
"Let us get to business" Alexander turned to Isidore and butler "What…are…the…infinites?"
Isidore proceeded to the dusty old wooden table at the center of the the room and sat on it.
"The infinites" he began
"The Infintes are regarded as many things to man. Angels, demons, blessings, curses, you name it but honestly, we are just humans like them and we were first regarded as "bringers of freedom".
"The bringers of freedom?" Alexander asked with so much curiousity "Why were we deemed that?"
Isidore picked up a paper and continued
"200 years ago, seven slaves prayed vigorously, trying to escape from the hands of their massa who would punish and torture them continuously and fortunately… For them, they were blessed with extraordinary powers"
"The power of infinite, an embodiment to each of them" Isidore said with a frighting voice.
"And what are those powers?" Persia questioned isidore
"Who are you?" Isidore looked at him and asked Alexander "Alex, who is he?"
"Answer the question" Alexander callously replied.
Isidore became panic-stricken, scarred by Alexander reply and just continued.
"The slaves were blessed with the power of infinite. The power is known to make up the concept of existence"
"destruction, conversion, transformation, resurrection medication and manipulation…"
He stood up and stretched his hand towards alexander, creating a spear "and creation".
He continued
"I possess the power to create whatever weapon I want, be it a spear…"
"An axe" He moves his fingers and it changed into an axe
"or a bow" and changed the axe to a bow.
He gradually dropped his hand down and the bow began disappearing slowly.
"I can do more than that actually but…"
"And what powers do I possess?" Isidore was interrupted by Alexander.
"I can't know that" he replied "only you can figure that out".
Alexander became engrossed. He began questioning himself and thinking what his powers might be when Persia tapped him, bringing him back to reality.
Persia was thrilled by the reality that his best friend possessed a supernatural gift
"Imagine if you had the power of destruction Alex" Persia said to Alex"You will merely be the most powerful infinites of all"
"Not exactly, sir" they all turned and starred as the butler replied Persia.
"Each infinite possess powers that can be a weakness to the other or vice versa" He replied "In other words, no one is above the other".
Isidore and his butler walked to the door. Isidore opened the door and said to them "It is time to go".
They walked out of the basement, moved up the stairs and continued discussing.
They got to the living room, and proceeded to the dining room.
The dining table was extremely long and had a total of 24 wooden chairs around it.
They sat on the chairs, sitting close to each other while the butler firmly stood behind Isidore.
"Now then, let's get to business" Isidore said.
He placed his elbow on the table, tightly clutchering his fingers and placed his chin on them.
"Right now, our main priority is to destroy the monsters. Just like that which appeared at your school" He said, starring at Alexander.
"Speaking of which, what are those monsters?" Persia asked
"They are called Infinite hunters". He replied Persia "They appear after the awakening of the infinites".
"Just as we awakened, they also awakening to feast and kill the infinites?"
"Why" Alexander got curious
"We bring peace and they are the bring chaos and destruction" he responded immediately "where there is light, there will always be darkness".
"So what exactly is your plan behind their cleansing?" Alexander asked.
"We are going to find the source of their awakening and destroy it but in other to do that… We need to find the other infinites"Isidore responded
"Really?" Persia replied "How do you intend on finding the other infinites. They can probably be in other parts of the countries and even out of our continent"
"He does have a point" Alex said, supporting Persia.
"Well, we already have that taken care of. My servants are searching through the city of Xien, gathering information through that which we have already".
"And how are you going to find them" Alex asked
"The infinites always have a specific mark somewhere, seperating us from humans" Isidore replied "you should check for yours once you get home".
"Anyway…" Isidore continued
"All you have to do now is awaken your powers Alex and we can commence on this journey together" Isidore said with a powerful drive.
"I wouldn't want anything like that to happen. As long as it is going to bring an end to them, I will gladly offer my help" Alex responded to his proposal.
Isidore smirked and shaked Alexander "Thank you" he said
Alexander and Persia immediately left the compound after the discussion.
When a strange being constantly starred at them from the window, at the topmost floor.
Isidore entered into the room while the the strange being continued starring at Alexander and Isidore.
The room was beautifully designed. It is an extremely large bedroom and the strange being had a crown put and was dressed in a white garment.
The same pyjamas as that which Isidore had on.
"Well...?" the being asked, seeking an immediate response.
"It is all going as planned…father" Isidore replied
"Perfect" Isidore's father turned and faced his son with a blue look.
"Make sure you don't go out of track" He commanded his son.
"I won't" Isidore replied and left his father's bedroom and headed straight to his room.
