Adzima pov
Today we are going to Verlaten. Falco informed us that the person we will encounter this time can shoot lasers from his eyes.
Fian:"A person who can shoot lasers from his eyes? Kriptonians?"
Falco:"No, Mutants"
Falco:"He also has no control over his power, so he needs to use special glasses to direct the laser he fires"
Ina:"What happens if the glasses get broken?"
Falco:"I don't know"
When we arrived in Verlaten, we stopped in front of a hut that appeared to have been abandoned for a long time.
The hut appeared to be filthy and flimsy, with the potential to collapse at any time. The hut is surrounded by tall grass, which also covers the pathway that leads to it. We didn't see any other buildings around us except the hut, so the atmosphere was very quite and also quite scary.
Fian:"Hooo, what a creepy place!"
Fian:"Are we going to look for ghosts here?"
My face immediately turned pale when I heard that.
Adzima:'Oh no, I hope not. I am not good with that stuff'
Ina, who saw my face turn pale, became worried and asked me.
Ina:"Are you okay, Adzima?"
Adzima:"I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry, Ina"
I tried to smile at Ina, and I then noticed Fian and Aditya were also staring at me. However, instead of being concerned, they smirked evilly at me. I had a bad feeling about both of them, so I chose to ignore them and followed Falco as he walked through the tall grass towards the abandoned hut. However, Fian and Aditya have begun to annoy me, poking my back and calling my name from behind in disgustingly sweet voices. I was able to ignore them at first, but as time passed, I became irritated and decided to confront them.
Adzima:"What do you want?"
But unfortunately, I fell for their prank, because when I turned around, I didn't see them, and instead I saw two pocongs with black faces standing right in front of me. When I saw that, I screamed as loud as I could and dashed over to Falco to hug him.
Adzima:"KKKKKKKYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
My scream startled everyone, and they looked puzzled at me. Meanwhile, the two pocongs I saw earlier laughed and turned into ink. It turned out that the two pocongs were Fian and Aditya, who had disguised themselves using Aditya's abilities.
Qori and Elsa instantly smacked Fian and Aditya on the head to make them stop laughing.
Fian:"Auch Elsa, why did you smacked me?"
Aditya:"You too, Qori"
Meanwhile, Falco is squeezing my hand and stroking my back to calm me down.
Qori:"You two, apologies to Adzima, NOW!"
Fian:"Awh, come on, Qory, it was just a little prank, no need to be that angry"
Qori:"I really hope Falco punishes you for this"
Fian and Aditya both laughed nervously when Qori mentioned that.
Fian:"He won't"
Falco then motioned for Fian and Aditya to come closer to us while smiling neutrally.
Falco:"Fian, Aditya, come here"
Fian & Aditya:"Shit!"
Fian and Aditya sweat a lot as they walk closer to us, and let's just say that Falco punishes them. He blindfolded them and tied them to a tree while playing something on their intercoms. He then invited us to continue our journey to the hut, leaving Fian and Aditya alone.
Falco:"Let's go, guys"
Fian and Aditya immediately whined in fear as we walked away.
Fian:"Wait, wait, wait, guys. Are you really going to leave us like this? Please help us, we're sorry"
Aditya:"Come on guys, we apologise, please untie us, come on, Captain? Adzima? Anyone?"
But we just kept walking and ignored them.
Artha:"Isn't Fian a jumper? He should be able to teleport and free himself easily"
Qori:"They are both idiots, so they won't realise it"
Dwiyan:"I guess you are right"
When we arrived at the door of the hut, we heard a voice from inside the hut that forbade us to open the door.
Voice:"Don't you dare open the door. Who are you?"
Voice:"Answer my question, or I won't hesitate to shoot lasers at you"
Falco:"Calm down, we are not your enemies, nor are we possessed"
Voice:"Why are you here? What do you need from me?"
Adzima:"We are assembling a team of people with extraordinary abilities to save the world from the demons, and we want you to join us"
Voice:"Saving the world, huh? I'm sorry, but I can't"
Adzima:"Why?"
Voice:"Come in and see for yourselves"
When Falco opened the hut door, we saw Edno sitting with his eyes closed, facing the door.
Anjas:"Edno?"
Edno:"How do you know my name?"
Anjas:"It's me, Edno, I'm Anjas, and we are your friends"
Edno:"Anjas? Sorry, my glasses are broken, so I can't open my eyes, or it will shoot lasers everywhere"
Falco then approached Edno and gave him mechanical glasses.
Falco:"Use this"
Edno:"Thank you, but I need special glasses to suppress my ability"
Falco:"Just wear it"
Edno then wore the glasses and opened his eyes, but nothing happened. No lasers were shot, no nothing. He then looked puzzled.
Edno:"How?"
Falco:"I don't know how your glasses work, but the glasses I gave you were made with a few layers"
Falco:"When activated, it will suppress your ability, and if you control the layers, you can control the lasers you shoot, including their density, speed, width, and many more"
Edno was lost for words listening to Falco's explanation.
Edno:"Who are you?"
Falco:"My name is Falco. Nice to meet you, Edno"
Edno:"Nice to meet you too"
Falco and Edno then shook hands, and I asked Edno again.
Adzima:"So Edno, will you join us now?"
Edno:"Of course"
Edno:"By the way, Adzima, I heard your scream earlier. What happened?"
I answered the question with a straight face.
Adzima:"Something stupid, don't worry"
We then came out of the hut, and Edno was confused when he saw Fian and Aditya tied to a tree, blindfolded and whining.
Edno:"Why were they tied up to a tree like that?"
Elsa:"They are the stupids"
Edno:"What? Oh....."
Edno looked at me funny.
Edno:"I don't know you can be that cruel, Adzima"
Adzima:"I'm not the one who tied them, it's him"
I pointed at Falco, who walked towards Fian and Aditya, and untied them.
Falco:"Did you learn from your mistake?"
Fian and Aditya nodded nervously together.
Falco:"Good"
When we were going to return to the cars, we were suddenly surrounded by a swarm of flying and terrifying creatures. When we saw them, everyone but Falco screamed in fear.
Falco:"It's just the Soul Devourers guys, why did you scream?"
We immediately relaxed a bit after realising it.
Adzima:"Owh, just the Soul Devourers.......
That doesn't make it better"
Falco:"It makes it less scary, though"
Adzima:"You are right"
After defeating the Soul Devourers, we returned to the mansion. We split up when we got back to the mansion to do our own thing.
After finishing my thing, which was going to the shower, I saw Falco in the garage by himself, with the garage lights dim, so the atmosphere was rather dark. I then thought of an idea that made me grin mischievously. I crept as softly as possible behind Falco, hoping to surprise him. However, before I could surprise him, he turned around when I was close to him. This surprised me so much that I tripped over my own feet. Fortunately, he caught me before I fell, he embraced my body firmly with both hands, bringing our bodies and faces close together.
Falco:"Sorry for startling you. Are you okay, princess?"
My mind went blank when I saw his face up close.
Adzima:"Y-y-y-y-y-yes m-m-my prince"
Adzima:'Thank goodness I took a shower'
Third Person pov
Meanwhile, the others, who were gathered in the kitchen, unintentionally witnessed their interaction through the kitchen window that leads to the garage.
Edno:"Guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but are they dating?"
All of them smiled broadly after hearing that.
Fian:"Not yet"
