Chereads / The Virtues of this Tropical Isle / Chapter 14 - Aftermath

Chapter 14 - Aftermath

Everyone was too shocked to transpire what has happened, everyone. Everett stands in shock as he realizes the weight he and the other has on their shoulders. Mr.Kaneda moves along to check if everything is alright.

Everett is seen sitting down with his head down on a piece of debris from the temple. " Am sorry I couldn't come sorry I am a failure of a teacher and a member of the Association" Kaneda says.

"Your friends will be ok. June will be alright. Everett are you alright" he asks. Everett still in the same seated position "No not when you realize you are the ones to prevent the end of the world." Kaneda sits along with him. "Look I know how you feel. I had the same feeling your felt years ago when I first tried to stop this."

"I knew your father. He was a brave mage and a fantastic one." He helped me and protected me from Zellion when that attack happened at this temple years ago.

He puts his hand on Everetts's shoulders. "You were chosen and destined to fight this battle and put an end to the sins." Kaneda grabs Everett's arm "You are blessed to receive this gift to fight the sins and vanquish this sickness that has plagued our isles once and for all."

Kaneda looks Everett in the eyes "I believe you and the others will do this. Everett Courage of the Seven Virtues defeat the Seven Deadly Sins and save us all."

Everett's eyes no longer show doubt and fear. They now show determination and courage. "That's the spirit." Kaneda pulls Everett up. "How much time do we have," Kaneda asks. " 7 months " Everett responds. "a little over half a year," Kaneda says.

Kaneda leads Everett with his hand on Everetts's back" We will discuss the matters at hand later Everett right now and go back home to your mother." Right, but something still bothers me. Like the fact that I've done this before. I saw it and heard it in my dreams." "It's just a dream Everett a figment of your imagination it's not real." Kaneda says " Alright I'll try not to overthink it. Good Night Mr . Kaneda" Everett leaves the area. Kaneda waves "Good night Everett." His smile then fades to a concerned look on his face.

Everett arrives back home. "The summoning of the Seven Deadly Sins was successful the Order of the 7s mission was complete. The end is upon us." the new broadcaster said. Everett's mom watches as she stands up with tears in her eyes and she hugs Everett "Baby are you okay." "Mom I have to do something," Everett says. "What is it."

"I have been gifted with this power to stop the end of the world. We have several months before the world will end." Everett with a sad look. "I want you to stay here and be safe Mom. I'll end this all for good ok." "I just want you to know that am proud of you for what you have done and will accomplish your father would be happy." Everett's mom says. Everett looks on at his father's picture on the tabletop.

They hug each other.

The two have dinner and laugh as time passes by.

Morning arrives in the aftermath of the Temple Incidents.

"Everett wake up!!." Everett's mom says. "Someone's looking for you." Everett rolls straight outta bed and changes into normal clothes with a black jacket with a hoodie.

"What is it Mom I think I have to go to school to hear with that plan is for-." A man dressed like a butler waits for him downstairs waiting at the door of his house. The gentleman speaks "Everett C Sage I presume." "Everett C Sage I presume "Yes??"

The man jolts forward and picks him up. "Augh what are you doing." "I am Sir Lorenzo. I am the head butler for Lady Alice Alexandria. I have come to pick you up at her request." "Ugh ok ah." Lorenzo picks up Everett sprinted to the limo parked outside and shoved Everett in the backseat. "What the hell that's what you call a rude awakening huh." Everett looks up and he sees some familiar faces.

"Morning man," Marx says dressed wearing a white shirt, black shorts, and slides.

"Morning Everett," Mae says wearing a black dress with a white long sleeve inside with some sneakers.

"Good morning Mr. Courage" Chonsee says with a half button-up green shirt with brown slacks and covered-toe shoes.

"Everett are you ok," June asks as she sports a white tank top with a pink romper combo shorts with some sandals.

Dillia stares at Everett. With that come on suck it up face. Wearing an all-black cami dress that fits her body.

The boys are amazed at Dillia for the way she is dressed.

"What are you staring at," Dillia asks. "Oh, nothing nothing. Nice weather we're having" Marx says. "This glass is too tinted," Chonsee says. The two try to make up a story while Everett laughs.

"Wow we're here too," June says to Mae "Yeah but it's alright they're surprised like us that Dillion was a girl. Mae says.

"Am alright June thank you. Am glad to see everyone alright, especially you and- " Everett takes a moment to think about what to say next. "Dillia right ?" Everett responds. "So you're not a guy but a girl. "Yes," Dillia responds. "You know when you were a guy you were pretty good looking and the girls adored you. But as a girl your cut-".

"Please be quiet," Dillia responds with an embarrassed face. Marx asks the group "So does anyone know why we're being gathered here this weekend?"

The limo window from the front lowers down. "Our course of action," Alice says. If what that Almighty One told us when we were on the Edge of the Universe is true we must come up with a plan fast. So I have taken up upon myself to have a meeting to discuss this at my mansion."

"Mansion ??!!" The group says.
