Chapter 15 - So, am I in?

"Alright,... where is he now?"

"Just wait a second... I'm trying to figure out what he REALLY wants. I'm not so sure that he'd want the rune or not, I mean, there's still a lot of treasure and precious stuff there."

"I don't know but you might be right though. What else would he want?"

"Let's say,... I don't know... wealth?"

"There. He went inside."

So, basically, I had to follow Eryx's order, which was very uncommon for me to take orders from a person who is the same age as me. 

"I might have to get close to him to learn more."

"Alright. I continue helping him by not helping him... This is confusing. Anyways, I'm off."

"Clear his path; don't let people get hurt by helping him to get into the museum."

"That's pretty smart, smartass"

He did that "-___-", and it quite suited him honestly. Anyways, I did what I was told, and cleared out his path by not letting those people get hurt.

-------------------------

"Where is that rune!??"

So he was looking for that rune... Now that I'd completely voided the individuals, what do I do next to stop him to not get to that rune? Okay... Eryx's far away from me since I'm kind of along side with the..- how do i call him??

"Uh, Sir?" immediately after I'd spoken to him, his face had turned furious to kind of calming face. I couldn't precisely be sure of it as the face of his was covered in dark shadows, the white thundering eyes... He's almost as if he were SHAZAM- but in a darker and villainess way. 

"What Do you want?"

"How should I, We, and the civilization call you?"

"Death Dust" in a very horrific voice. Now, can I mention how that death whatever dude's name is really, how should I put this in a word..., cringe-? THIS IS ALL I CAN THINK OF, ALRIGHT?

Even though I lost sight of Eryx, I could see a person standing in the way of "Death Dust". I had to rush before that dude make a scene, and like that spy-like agents, I wear a cool mask :), thus they won't know my identity.

"Hey, man. I'm sorry, you gotta go."

Ohhh, it was Felix. He was supposed to hang out with Eryx and learn the boring stuff they have in the museum... 

... It's not boring. Do you realize these boring stuff is literally assisting you to not do what you don't fancy doing; killing innocent people, and to not get you in trouble with the AA?...

What the hell... Eryx?? Are you in my head??

-Yes. Now, get Felix out of the way. I can't take chances of him physically getting injured. He can't even stand the smallest scratch from his baby sister- 

...Okay...

I don't understand how Eryx had to worry about him. From his perspective, Felix is his homie who spends time and sticks with him even when something goes wrong at school..., like that one time I destroyed Eryx's project because I was jealous that his parents helped him achieve doing so. Okay, Back to business.

Felix didn't flinch, seeing the shadowed figure in front of him when he turned around to argue with me, therefore, I pushed him aside and probably damaged those nearby glasses. I'm just pleased I needed not murder anyone.

Death Dust or whatever, got his hands on the ancient runes. I didn't understand a word on what was written there. Suddenly, maybe Felix knew this was not right, he ran toward the figure and emoted to pull him away from the rune, he got thrown away far, almost reaching the ceiling. I can't do anything, just wished I had magick like Eryx; he used his to put Felix to safety. I am envious!! If only I were Eryx,... Nevermind... I don't want to be short. HA... Hope he doesn't pop up in my mind like the past few minutes, that'd be very, like REALLY awkward.

Now I'm back to the start,... what do I do next?

-I said I'll take care of it- 

If he keeps doing like this, my secret isn't safe no more.

--------------------------------

ERYX 

I don't have this kind of ability, just not until I got near this rune or maybe it could be some kind of a stone, a gem, a mysterious-... I don't interfere with people's privacies, including Ayden's, however, I needed to send him a signal... That's how I kept hearing those words... TRUST ME.  Alright... Sorry for ruining the point where we were in an action, and where you were reading ").

-------------------------------------------------

"You filthy piece of trash!! I may not know about these but I know theft when I see one!!!" shouted the weakling friend according to Eryx and a few of my classmates. Not to mention, some of the juniors in my school. Okay Okay, I'll be quiet now.

"Can you shut him up or should I? I don't want to get my hands dirty before the important event." in a dreadful tone of that figure. I mind calling him Death Dust. 

Just now, that I thought about it,... why me and not the other recruits in the agency? Despite being awared that I'm the best they have, (hehehe), they still have Xen, some ladies and gentlemen. Anyways.

"Yes. Copy that." 

Felix shuddered in fear, although he didn't let out a scream, I am pretty much sure he did to himself. I paused myself, waiting as if Eryx might appear to be the hero as he is. Since he didn't, I will have to- what do I do again-? Right. Shut him up... H o w .............. I AM STILL THE BEST!

-Take him downstairs. Do you see the door behind the painting of Aspeciacy? Precisely. There.- 

Um, mate, what do I do next then? Let the so called "Death Dust" take over the rune? 

-Do you have any idea what you'd do with it or have you any understandings of those alien language written on the rune?- 

No...

-Exactly my point of view. We'll figure it out sooner or later, and that includes letting him finish off what he came here to do. We'll deal with it, my mother's side would too-

True True. Alright. I'll just do what you say. If anything goes wrong, that's on you.

-Pffff... Nobody even knows I'm part of this.-

Oh you little smart ass!!

I did what he told me to do, again... and again.

"You get off me, you arse!"

"Trust me. I'm putting you somewhere safer"

Felix definitely makes me feel like I'm handling a woman with a baby in her arms, no offense.

Felix and I were now downstairs, it's shocking the Dust didn't know.

Felix eyes sparkled and seemed as if he had been saved by a god. I mean, he was saved by me..... andddddddd, Eryx, of course. 

"ERYX!! You're here? How come?" 

"No time to chit chat yet."

"HUH?? You know this evil sided dude."

"Yes. And for your information, this is Ayden."

"ERYX!"

"What? I just felt like I needed to tell him."

The friendship he's got there. I'm feeling more resentful than ever. 

"Alright. Do whatever you feel, want. I'm just relying on you with my identity right now. Hope you don't ruin it."

"I sure can get back my revenge."

"NO! Absolutely not! Definitely NO!"

"Relax Relax. I'm just joking."

Felix just stood there. Imagine if that was awkward for him, it'd be too for me when he does that friend-or-whatever comfortably chatted talk. I can't even think straight because of this situation.

"Agent, you at the scene?"

No... I just wished I could say that. 

"Yes. What am I to do there?"

"Just make sure he succeeds his ritual"

"Ritual? Uhh, That's easy just like taking candy out of a baby's hands"

"Ritual, huh?"

"Yep. Have no idea what he is going to do?"

"What is happening here..?"

"I'll go back up there just so I won't be suspected."

"Sure. I may have had an idea strike through me just now."

He's legit clever. Back on the job.

---------------------------------------

Eryx

"Soo... mind explaining me what you and Ayden are up to?"

"You don't want to be in on this. This is the type of danger you're not willing to take up."

"Tell me. I might want to."

At this moment, I knew things weren't going to be the same between Ayden and I with this special secrecy works.

Yet, I simplified what this was all about. I know I can count on my mate. If I told him something, he'd never spill it out a word. Just like when you're reading, he'd never let out a word about ... Woops, I almost did.

"I want to be part of this stuff."

"Why? You're vulnerable"

"I don't want to keep missing out. Since you became very friendly with the black suited person, not the shadowed one of course, you continuously cancels all our plans. I know you want to, you know what I want to say, but don't ignore your childhood mate."

"Fair enough. You didn't have to waste all your speech on this. It's a waste of time, ngl."

"Soooooooo?"

"Soooooooo, what?"

"Am I in?"

"From my perspective, yes. From his, not sure."

There was a weird feeling inside my body. My heart's doing that nasty thing that I can't stand staying like this. Had I made a mistake by exposing Ayden?
