Chereads / Dark Lords: A Noblesse Sequel / Chapter 28 - Sunrise II

Chapter 28 - Sunrise II

"Raizel-nim, we're going." Said Takeo.

Raizel turned around.

"Frankenstein prepared several safe houses in case something like this happen. We must go there and secure the third elder as fast as we can."

Raizel casted his gaze below, unto Tao who was inside the helicopter.

"It's in a remote island east from here. We'll be taking a chopper." Takeo added.

"I see." Raizel said. He lifted his gaze, and turned his attention back to the sunrise. For the space of a few minutes thereon did Raizel stay silent. He said nothing, and did nothing but kept his melancholic gaze over yonder.

Takeo waited for his response, however, he was instead met with an unexpected question.

"What do you make of the sunrise, Takeo?" The Noblesse asked.

Met with the sudden, and unusually out of the Noblesse's character question, Takeo was stunned in surprise. He gulped.

Takeo paused and stared at the noblesse's back. A minute later, He casted his eyes upon the horizon as well.

"It's beautiful…" He answered after a while. "However, I don't really know. For all my life, or the life I remembered, I never really stopped to watch it."

"Well, you have this moment right now." Raizel replied.

Takeo took a deep breath.

"Sunrise is when darkness begins to fade, and light ushers in. But that darkness doesn't fade immediately, but eventually. Still, the fact that the sun rose for us, meant that it set for the others. Darkness began to take their skies." Takeo said. "It doesn't matter though, as it was very beautiful to look at."

"At the same time," said Raizel. "It is also true that the same place could not experience light forever." He sighed.

Takeo took his gaze from the sun and looked towards Raizel in front of him.

Sensing a different air around him, Takeo began to speak.

"Rai-nim, are you—."

"Hey! You guys!"

Suddenly, they heard Tao shouting. As they looked at the grounds, there he was waving his hand to them.

"Rai-nim, Takeo, it's time to get the hell out of here."

Takeo sighed.

"Well, Raizel-nim… " said Takeo, looking at him.

Raizel flew down, and Takeo followed behind him. The three of them entered the Chopper and as usual, Tao piloted the helicopter.

The Helicopter's rotors; both main and tail, started spinning, accelerating till they could hear quick whips in the air. Slowly, the Landing Skids left the ground, and the Helicopter lifted off.

"Gentlemen, welcome aboard. This is your Captain speaking. Have a nice seat and relax, we'll be there in no time." Said Tao.

"Where is there?" Takeo asked.

"There's a very small uninhabited island west of here, near Inch'on. That's where."

"That's where Frankenstein's safehouse was located?"

"One of his many safe houses, yeah."

"I see, well… how small is very small?"

Tao smirked upon hearing the question.

"You'll see."

The helicopter flew into the sky, heading away from the sun with its blades making distinct whooping noises in the air. As they were leaving their area, a lone figure of a man, standing on a rooftop of a tall building could be seen facing their direction.

No, it's more accurate to say 'he' was observing them. The man was tall, and had a great frame and physique. His face was hidden from the shadows, but it was certain that he possessed a long blonde hair.

"They're leaving already? My, my ..." he chuckled. "And they have the 3rd Elder with them. That smells trouble."
