Chapter 21 - Prepping for the event (2)

Zenyph froze. He knew exactly who it belongs to. "Hello Ms.Sylvaris." greeted Zenyph as politely as possible despite his inner feelings.

"Hello Prince Drakonhart." greeted Luciana as she gracefully landed in front of him and Lynette.

"What are you doing here?" inquired Zenyph curiously wondering if she had some ulterior motives for approaching him and his companion.

"I'm just checking up on one of my new pupils." stated Luciana casually. "Oh and I wanted to meet your little maid here."

"Pardon?" blurted out a surprised Zenyph.

"Your little maid." repeated Luciana gesturing to Lynette who blushed slightly as she stood in front of the older female angel who had a playful smile on her face.

"Lynette Shadowthorne a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." praised Luciana.

Lynette blushed even deeper.

"T-t-thank y-you M-Ms.Sylvalis." stuttered Lynette shyly.

"Call me Luce please."

Lynette hesitated momentarily before nodding slowly. "Okay Luce."

Luciana giggled lightly before turning her attention towards Zenyph.

"Now let's talk business."

"Business?" echoed Zenyph skeptically.

"Yes business." confirmed Luciana with seriousness etched into her tone and face as Seraphic mana wrapped around her hands.

"What do you want from me?" inquired Zenyph suspiciously.

"I'm here to offer you a counter deal." stated Luciana simply before waving her hands to create a barrier that prevented the other students from hearing their conversation

Lynette looked between the two individuals confused as ever while the other two conversed.

"I'm listening." urged Zenyph.

"At first I wanted to blackmail you by using your little maid here. I got the idea after your little slumber party last night and how you two were acting during homeroom." began to explain Luciana before continuing," But now I'm offering an alternative."

"And that is?" pressed on Zenyph wanting her to hurry and state it.

"I'd rather be allies with you and your protector so if you bring me the heart of two nameless then I'll be your mentor for a limited time frame. I'll teach you everything you need to know about magic including how to manipulate the mana flow within your body." offered Luciana extending her hand towards the young dragon.

Zenyph contemplated her suggestion carefully. He weighed the pros and cons and decided to accept her proposal.

He knew that goddess was the only reasons he's alive right now and that the goddess is the reason he's in this predicament. Might as well pit one against the other somehow.

"Deal." said Zenyph as he accepted her handshake. A bright golden light emanating from their connected hands signify the formation of the bond that bound them to their words.

"Wonderful. I look forward working with you Prince." smirked Luciana.

Zenyph nodded curtly.

Luciana turned to face the blushing Lynette who was still processing what just happen.

"I look forward to getting to know you Lynette. You seem like an interesting person." complimented Luciana before vanishing into thin air leaving behind a stunned Zenyph and flustered Lynette.

The pair looked at each other before smiling awkwardly at one another. "What just happened?" asked a confused Lynette.

"Well I just made a deal with a crazy powerful woman. Other than that nothing." joked Zenyph earning a playful slap to the arm from a pouting Lynette.

The duo spent the next few hours discussing strategies to survive the event before heading back to their dorm room.

"Good night master/Lynette!"

"Sleep well master. Don't worry Lynette will keep you save" said Lynette hugging him tight

"I know you will." responded Zenyph patting his companion's head fondly before retiring to his own room.

As soon as Zenyph laid down on his bed. His consciousness faded away as sleep embraced him.

He found himself in a what appeared to be endless white space. Looking around he sees a white clothed individual sitting on a sofa. The figure was looking at a magical projection. He recognized himself on the projection. He looked back at the figure.

"Hello?" 

No response.

"Why am I here?"

No response.

He moved closer to the sofa in hopes of finding out the figures identity. Unfortunately he found himself stuck in an invisible box, unable to move to the figure.

"Come on Zeny you got this! Think!" said the figure as they leaned closer to the projection.

The voice sounded familiar but he couldn't put a name to the voice.

"Zeny Zeny just use Chaos and turn that nameless into paste. You can do it" cheered the figure.

"Z-zen...y? Wait what? What is happening?" thought Zenyph as confusion clouded his mind.

He saw himself on the projection fighting a distorted creature.

'A nameless huh. And look at that I managed to reach green mana power.'

The fight went on for thirty seconds where Zenyph was casting various water spells until he managed to cut off one of the nameless seven arms. But as soon as he did that that thing smiled. It's black blood immediately turned into tiny needles that aimed for him. He tried to move out of the way but when he tried to move his legs it he noticed they weren't even attached anymore.

Crack.

The whole space started to shatter like glass. The figure stood up.

"You dare hurt my Zeny. No. Unacceptable. You will pay. I'll rip your head off and feed it to my pet. You will suffer a fate worse than death"

The voice was filled with rage and hatred. As the figure was about to walk somewhere. The scenery changed. Zenyph found himself in the same room. The sofa was there, the projection was unreadable. He looked to where he sat. There was a severed arm covered in white blood. It was laying on top of a shirt Zenyph could never forget. There was a note on top of the shirt. 

"To Zeny, Love Chaos." as he went to pick it up he found himself back in his room at the academy. The clock read 6:00 AM.

"What the fuck."
