Ethan looked at Dylan with horror in his eyes and screamed at everyone to protect him. They exchanged glances with each other but no one challenged Dylan.
"You time is up Ethan, it's time for you to die!" Dylan screamed at him and flew to Ethan.
Ethan screamed with his hands in the air. "Dylan, I can explain. It was not my idea to kill your parents, someone came to me and deceived me. Why would I want to hurt them? They were my best friends."
Dylan was shocked to hear that there were more people involved in his parents death.
"Who came to you?" Dylan asked, his hands were clenched.
"I don't know their real identity, we communicated through letters." Ethan explained.
"What letters?" Dylan asked.
"I don't have them with me but they are in a secret safe somewhere. If you let me live I will let you have them." Ethan negotiated.
Dylan looked at Ethan for some minutes, he knew that Ethan was a cunning and vile man. Dylan didn't trust him one bit but he needed to know who had ordered his parents to be killed.
"I don't trust you one bit, Ethan. If you try anything funny, I will not hesitate to take your head off." Dylan threatened.
"I won't." Ethan moved inside the wedding hall. He moved to a painting on the wall that was the portrait of his father. He pressed the eye and a low rumble was heard.
Dylan turned to Anele and said, "Stand guard at the entrance and tell Draco to fly to the sky and look out for any threat."
"Are you sure you can trust him.?" Anele asked, then continued."He is known to be cunning and manipulative."
"I thought he was the only one that planned to kill my parents, knowing that there are more of them is making me furious. I need to know who they all are and make them pay." Dylan explained.
"There is no stopping you then, I hope you know what you are doing and keep your eyes open." Anele advised.
Dylan gave Anele a weak smile and turned to Ethan.
"No funny moves." Dylan warned him and lit his hands with fire. "Lead the way."
Ethan was visibly shaken with fear and moved into the tunnel with Dylan behind him.
The tunnel was dark and eerie and the only sounds Dylan heard were the sounds of their feet and breath. There were light bulbs that hung as a guide throughout the tunnel. After some minutes of walking, Dylan felt cold, the deeper they went the more freezing it became.
"How far are we going before we get to the letters?" Dylan asked.
"We …. Would … soon be there.." Ethan said in a shaky voice.
"You better not be trying anything funny, I won't hesitate to cut your head off." Dylan warned.
"Please, we will ...soon be there." Ethan assured him.
Dylan was not having a good feeling about all this.He tried to remember if he read anything about secret tunnels in the werewolf city. But none came to his mind.
"Draco, can you hear me?" Dylan communicated with Draco telepathically.
... .... ...…
Dylan waited for some seconds, yet no response.
"Draco, can you hear me?" He repeated.
….. …. ......
No response again. Dylan's instincts were screaming to him that something was wrong.
"We are here." Ethan said in a loud voice.
Dylan quickly changed his mind and looked at where they were.
They stood in front of a metal door with a lightning symbol on it. Dylan looked around the door for more careful observation, but there was nothing else on the door. There was no wall that held the door and it was floating in the air.
"How are we going to get inside?" Dylan asked.
"I just need to say a spell and the door will open." Ethan said as he looked at Dylan for approval.
Dylan thought about it for some seconds and nodded his head in approval.
Ethan turned towards the door and started chanting.
Moon by day,
Sun by night
Let the moon smith the night
Let the sun smith the day
When day fall and night slip away
The moon and sun shall unite again.
Dylan went behind Ethan, in case it was a trap. Sounds of machines filled the hallway, soon the lightning symbol shined bright. The Door unlocked and opened.
Ethan led the way with Dylan still using him as a shield. They entered a big room that had dim lights in it. Ethan moved to a cabinet and shifted a book there which revealed another secret room.
"This is where I keep every record, good or bad. The letters are here ." Ethan said as he moved to a drawer and brought out the letters.
Dylan immediately snatched them from Ethan , he pointed fire at him with his left hand incase Ethan tried to run. Whole the other hand held one of the letters as he quickly read the letter.
Ethan stood still and watched Dylan, he was calculating his movements and when he was sure Dylan was engrossed in reading the letter, he decided to use the slight opportunity.
"You see that it was not my fault, someone wanted your parents dead and also the abomination child." Ethan said, he sounded convincing.
"If it's not your fault, why didn't you help them?" Dylan said through his teeth.
Ethan didn't say a word and shifted backwards slowly. Dylan was furious and rumpled the papers in his hand.
"You could have saved them but instead your greed took control over you." Dylan's hands lit up with fire.
"I should have done something….. but I am not the one that got married to a goddess when it is against the rules…." Ethan snapped as his back hit the wall.
His gaze was still on Dylan and a sinister smile slowly formed on his face. "If I had the opportunity to kill them again, I would do that without thinking twice."
Dylan snapped,"I will make your death painful and memorable.
