Chapter 6 - Yin necklace

"A fancy prison" was what zen thought looking into the room which looked like a five star hotel. It was so luxurious that zen wouldn't even be surprised if there was a swimming pool somewhere here.

"Pretty amazing am I right?"said celia excitedly but her facial expression suddenly fell as she saw the same lack of emotion on zen. Celia inwardly thought

"Ugh this damn human is a blockhead, here i am putting my best into my performance so I can gain his trust yet this moron doesn't react to anything, no one has ever been able to ignore my acting before not even that old fool my father, i can't wait for him to become my puppet and kneel before me,then we'll see if you can keep up your act"

Zen, unaware of her thoughts simply walked into the luxury room thinking that they must really want to keep him here if there doing this, he had honestly expected another prison room and was a bit surprised seeing this. Celia who was still at the door called out to him

"Hey I'm gonna give you some time to settle in and figure some stuff out,see you later!" . After she said this she left the room and the door closed behind her . As zen saw the door close he slowly went towards it curious about something. Zen slowly reached out a finger to touch the door and as he did he suddenly felt a sharp stinging electrical pain similar to being hit with a tazer . Zen quickly pulled his hand back not being too affected by the shock and as he did a hologram of Murphy suddenly appeared in his room projected by the panel on the door. The hologram looked at zen and tiredly spoke

"Zen, i have things to do so I'll make this quick, this room is where you'll be staying until it's time for you to take the military academy test in seven days and by staying i mean not leaving. As you can see the room has been fully equipped so you can do whatever you like in the meantime . There's sufficient food in there to last you a year so I think you'll be fine for a few days so knock yourself out..... Oh and don't try to escape , that shock you felt just now was simply a warning,try the same thing again and say goodbye to your arm" .

After saying that the hologram suddenly disappeared leaving zen alone in the spacious luxurious room with his thoughts. Zen didn't really think much of what Murphy said, it wasn't like there was any new information for him to think about. Zen quickly decided on what to do. He went to the sofa in the room which looked like it could easily fit a dozen people. He picked up the remote and turned on the large twenty feet long flat screen television and changed the channel to the news before turning the volume up to about 60% . Zen then went to lay on the king size bed on the other side of the room paying little attention to the TV.

"Now I can finally examine this" thought zen as he took off the medallion and started looking closely at it trying to find anything that would tell him that this medallion was only identical to his but wasn't his, however after about ten minutes zen was able to confirm that it indeed was the one he was given as a kid but to him it just didn't make sense, he had had it for over five years and nothing like what happened to him now had happened before. Zen suddenly remembered something and said out loud to himself

"Freya said that she found this medallion with me, that it was from my birth parents .... I wonder if they would know anything about this

After a while in his room he was still fiddling with the medallion trying to get some sort of information from it but there was nothing. Zen sighed perplexed by the situation but suddenly remembered how his vision had changed. He looked at the medallion and thought

"Could this thing be.... An Aether circuit".
