Colin POV
[Colin]
*Groan*
[Colin!!]
I tossed and turned in my new comfy bed as I heard an annoying sound in my ears.
[COLIN!!!]
"What?!" I woke up and shouted, searching for whatever annoying thing woke me up.
[COLIN!!!] I heard the sound again but this time more clearly and soon realized that it was a telepathic message. These things are really annoying.
[What is it Synthia? Why are you shouting my name so early in the morning?] I said through [Telepathy].
[It's past noon, not morning and I need to talk to you now, in person.] She said
[Can't you wait an hour or two?] I said and yawned
[No, this is urgent please come NOW. Please.] She said with a sense of urgency, almost like she was pleading.
[Fine, I'll come now.] I said
[Thank you.] She said and I could feel her 'presence' fade a bit, signifying that she has ended our telepathic conversation.
"Colin, what's going on? Why were you shouting?" Alice asked with a tired yawn
"Synthia was contacting me through telepathy, she wants to meet me now and she sounded, a bit off." I said as I got out of bed.
"Off how?" She asked with a frown
"She sounded like she was in serious trouble, like she was almost pleading for me to come." I said with a shrug
"Really, then it must be really important. Well have fun, I'm going back to sleep." Alice said and walked back into her room. I sighed and went to the bathroom to wash my face to get rid of the last traces of sleepiness from my face. I then flew towards City B and after flying at full speed for twenty minutes I arrived. I then flew towards Synthia's mansion and saw her standing outside of the [Holy Territory] and she looked...nervous.
"Good afternoon, Synthia." I greeted
"Good afternoon." She said and I could see her fidgeting a bit like she was trying to think about what to say.
"So what did you want to talk about." I said
"I-I uhm... you know what screw it, I'm just going to say it. Colin, I need to ask you a huge favour." She said with a sigh.
"Which is?" I asked
"I need you and Alice to fly to City J and rescue a friend of mine, an angel named Sera." Synthia said and I realized why she was nervous.
"Why would an Angel need saving? Is she under attack by demons?" I asked curiously, this might be a good opportunity for Alice and I to gain some levels but, City J was a bit for maybe a day or so of flying would get me the two of us there and that was a big maybe. And then there's the problem of how strong our enemies were, if there were multiple tier 4 then bringing Alice with me would be a bad idea. Hell, me going there probably won't even change anything and just get everyone killed.
"She's under attack by a group of insect demons, there exact numbers are unknown and it's suspected that there might be a tier four among them." She said with a somber expression
"Why can't she get help from the other Angels? There should be a few of them close to City J, so why not ask them to help?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. I remembered, vaguely, the addresses of the other Santuaries, and I am sure there are some closer to City J than City B. The distance between City B and J was around 500 miles by main road which is the safest way to get there. The other way is through the forest which is faster than taking the the main road, but is too dangerous because of all the wild animals inside and it is even more dangerous now due to all the animals being demonized.
"As I told you before four of the Santuaries no longer exists, the other ones are located in City F, H and J. The Angels looking after City F and H are coming here because they are also under attack by demons. And before you ask why they can't go to City J, it's because City I is infested with Werewolves." Synthia said. Hearing her reply, I understood why any of the other Angels couldn't go and this Sera person because if they did, it would turn into a bloodbath that non of them would survive.
"Fine, I'll go and rescue this Sera person." I said and her face instantly lit up with joy.
"But I'm gonna need something from you in return." I said with a wide smile that showed my fangs and she became visibly nervous.
"I want you to teach me how to cultivate."
"Huh."
