Back with Jean, Karter and Siun, there were unexpectantly no problems, they didn't see a single enemy
"Karter are you sure you think Ms. Yael went this way?"
"Of course I am! Do you really have no trust in me?" Karter said as he rustled through the bushes, making way for Jean and Siun to walk through
For some reason Jean couldn't get rid of the sense of Deja vu... or like the feeling of nostalgia?
[Jean : I probably just didn't have enough sleep these past few days, training Elena has been very tiring... I hope she is okay]
He dismissed his thoughts and just continued to follow Karter, but after a while he suddenly lost him, it seemed as if Karter just disappeared out of nowhere.
"...Karter? Where did you go?" Jean said as he held Siun in his arms tightly, afraid that something might attack them...
But instead of something charging at them a hole suddenly opened up beneath Jean's feet and him and Siun both fell into the dark void.
...
Jean slowly opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything so he hastily rubbed his eyes with both of his palms. There was nothing wrong with his vision, he had just never been in a room ( or void ) this dark before.
But he slowly adjusted himself and could now walk around slowly, now that he was more adjusted, he realized that Siun was no longer in his arms
[Jean : Shit! Where did the brat go! Elena is going to be so mad with me! How could I lose him?!]
He quickly ran around the dark void trying to find Siun, but it was no use... Jean had no sense of direction whatsoever
Then suddenly he saw a little ray of light coming from a corner of the void, he quickly ran towards it, hoping that it was not a trap made by the enemy
[Jean : Don't worry guys! I'll save you!]
Jean said as he ran closer to the source of light, but what he saw shocked him... he didn't expect to see this! What he saw was the bodies motionless bodies of Karter, Silas, Yael and Elena all trapped inside a glass box... but worst of all he saw the body of the 3 year old Siun flailing around whilst he was being chocked by the blonde haired demon
"You! A high ranking demon!?"
"I see you have woken up! I was going to put you and this kid into your own boxes but this kid seems to be familiar with dark voids and was able to walk around immediately..." He said
"State your name! Humanoid demon!"
The blonde demon stared at Jean for a while...
[Damion : Hehehe... isn't this the little slave boy Lucas? The one in Yael's memories?]
"This mighty one's name is Damion! The Demon lord's disciple, the demon of time!"
Hearing this made Jean's body freeze on the spot
The enemy is one of the demon lord's disciple!
The demon lord has 4 disciples, one that controls weather, one that controls the sun, one that controls the moon and lasty, the one that controls time
Before Jean could make another move, Damion restrained both him and Siun into the same glass box and slowly approached them, Jean tossed Siun into the corner of the box to protect him.
"Are you Jean?" Damion asked
Jean paused for a second then answered "Yes... I'm Jean"
there was a moment of silence before it was broken by the sound of Damion's cackle
"Huhu Huhu... Hahahaha! Are you really sure about that?"
Jean didn't know how to answer that, of course he was sure that he was Jean how could he not be?
"Tell me one of your childhood memories then... maybe when you were the age of 5? Come on, tell me"
"Are you crazy! Why would I answer such a personal question from a demon!" Jean said as he readied his fists to break out of the glass box
"Hah! Do I have to remind you who I am?"
This one sentence silenced Jean and he quickly put down his fists
"Try... try to recall you memories, 'jean'..."
This time Jean listened to Damion and tried to remember memories from his childhood...
[Jean : What's up with him?... whatever, I have no choice but to comply or else we might be in danger...]
He thought as he closed his eyes to help concentrate... minutes pass and all of the sudden
"ARGHHHH!"
Jean cried out as his body lost control and he collapsed onto the ground, curling up into a ball
[Jean : AHHH IT HURTS IT HURTS!]
He rolled on the floor trying to ease the pain whilst Siun stayed still in the corner of the box
[Siun : Tex! what's happening to him!]
[Tex : It seems like he tried to remember his 'corrupted memories']
Siun decided to not ask anymore questions and save them for later, all he could do right now was pray that Jean was going to be alright.
Jean continued rolling on the floor as Damion slowly entered the glass box that Siun and Jean was in, Damion placed his palms on Jean's head and looked into his memories like he did with Yael...
[Damion : As I expected... there are no memories of his childhood before the age of 8... The exact same time Yael said that she met the weird figure and the time Lucas lost all of his memories... I'm sure of it, this man is the person from Yael's memories]
