Luan woke up inside a convenience store, he sit down and felt dizzy after looking around, he didn't know where he was.
A young woman with curly blond short hair, appeared from behind and gave him a hand to get up, that he accepted without questions.
"Where am I?" He asked with his other hand on the head "Who are you?"
"So funny!" She laught before letting his hand go, making him fall against the store shelves.
"Either way... How can I say this... Someone is trying to kill you for some reason."
"I figured." He answered calmly and stood up straight "Nothing new."
Marlene was shocked, she opened her mouth to say something but decided not to and closed it again.
"Now...! Can you tell me how to leave?"
The girl was still frozen, so Luan closed his eyes, took a deep breath and then crossed his eyes in deep thinking.
"What are you guys talking about?" Asked a male voice from behind Luan "Did I miss something important?"
"If I am correct, my brother didn't force me this time. Or did he?" Luan though, putting his hand on the chin.
Mattie quickly maderespectfull bow before running away. The young male was still in deep thought.
"Hey, Lucas!" Stuart, an old man called while walking to the front of the younger, dressed with a dark green robe and a black jacked.
"Am I really this free in this life? I must find a way to get out of here... Before is to late."
He didn't obtain any answer so the man crossed his arms as well and waited until the boy was done with the thinking.
"I must remmember Lucas memories. It's the only way to run away from Dave. The only memories I could gathered for now was about his master Stuart, that had enough with Lucas for being lazy in fighting training and scared of using his power... Something I would like to..."
Stuart caught a little, breaking Luan's thoughts, making him look to where the sound came from.
"Welcome back... What were you thinking about?"
"Act!" Luan told himself before putting his hands behind his head, faking chewing gum.
"Always lazy! Did uou talked to the traitor at least?"
"Well... Shit!" He cursed under his breath as he put the hand on his mouth to stop talking "I was about to go there, sir... Master!"
"Very well. Follow me then."
Luan didn't know what to think anymore, he doesn't remmember of any traitor on his mind.
"Those damn dogs, putting a curse on someone without reason. Now i have 15 life memories on my head! How can I put one more?"
"You seem to be very thoughtfull today " Stuart said, stopping in front of a stair leading down "I hope you aren't thinking of going out again. These times are dangerous around this area."
"I know!" Luan answered ironically, then he panicked inside"I don't fucking know anything?"
The man started to walk once again when Luan was next to him. At the end of the stairs was a door that lead inside a cave, were a man that was being holding hostage tied up by the wrists, with his face almost touching the ground, without shirt or shoes.
"So that is the traitor!" Luan thought, but then all his body froze when the hostage looked at him. "I know those eyes from somewhere... Julian..."
Stuart didn't wait for Luan this time, he grabbed Luan's arm and lulled him inside the cave, before going back out and lock the door.
"Are you the traitor?" Luan asked, getting up from the ground, looking up "I know you."
"Of course you do." He said, without taking the eyes from Luan"You were the one who caught me."
"Oh!" Luan said, on his knees, cleaning the dust from his legs"Will you help me if I take you out from there?"
"And what is in for me?" Julian asked withou moving an inch, making Luan blush and look away.
Julian laught and the other straightened his clothes better after he got up and walk towards Julian, not looking to the other, that was intrigued by Luan's reactions.
In silence, Luan approach the man, tripped on his feet and fell right under the other's head.
"You are cute, but not my type, I like blue and red hair."
"Blue and red?!" Luan asked surprised before covering his mouth, a few centimeters from Julian's face "What if I tell that I already had it."
"Bullshit!" Julian shouted, his eyes turning loght blue "You are nothing like Luan, you will never be."
Immediately, the male on the ground blushed deeply and pushed the other man's face to the side, so that he could get away from him, then he sit on his knees next to him.
"You will get your freedom.' Luan said, trying to not be embarrassed from what the other said. "I never thought that the cold heart tiger would ever defend me like that. I was nothing back there, a mere demigod of water."
"Now that I look better. You do look like him."
Julian said as he streched the best he could so that he could see Luan's face from up close. He was so near of the face that both could feel each other breathing.
"Lucas fear me and you don't. Who are you?"
Luan gluped, unsure if he should tell the truth, after all Julian was a god.
"What if I don't tel you?" Luan's challenged Julian, approaching more his face.
