Chapter 37 - Timothy

With Jinwoo by his side, Virgil left the bunker after being tackled with questions.

"They...they are a loud pair," Jinwoo sighed

"I know but they mean well and have great potential. Anyway we have someplace to be," Virgil said

"Where?" 

"There is a boy. He is young now but his potential with magic will make him the strongest magic user in the world," Virgil explained

"Is that so...it would be good to have him working for you," Jinwoo replied

"Yes. The thing is he won't be working for me yet. I need him to continue to live his life. If I interfere too much it could cause drastic changes I don't need," Virgil said drawing a rune circle under them

"What is that?" Jinwoo asked

"A transportation rune. Helps me get around quickly," Virgil replied standing on it 

Speaking a few words in Latin the two were transported to an empty road a few miles outside of London. Pulling out his phone, which Alexander had given to him, he called the arranged transport.

"Incredible... to be transported in a second to any place of your choice," Jinwoo said amazed

"No not that amazing. It works like how you switch places with your shadows. This Rune was already placed here by someone else," Virgil explained

"Understood. But may I ask why you needed me to accompany you?" Jinwoo asked

"I need you to place Beru with that boy to protect him from any creatures that may attack him," 

As he said that an all-black limo pulled up before them. Getting out of the driver's seat the Driver opened the door for the two.

"Mr.Domini sorry for the wait we had been expecting you for a few hours," the driver said 

"No, it is my fault," Virgil said getting inside

Following behind him Jinwoo also entered the Limo.

"I'm assuming him being a Vampire is also your knowing," Jinwoo said

"Yes, I am in a partnership with the king of Vampires and the greatest monster-hunting family in history," Virgil explained

"That's surprising a Vampire and monster hunters working together," Jinwoo said

"Yes. Well, both families worked together to kill Dracula," Virgil said as the Limo began moving

"Well no not something you see every day. May I ask why you are working with them?" Jinwoo asked

"Simple their connection will help me make the army I need to save this world. They were my plan before I summoned you. But now I can change my thoughts and plans to introduce my security company that will be used all over the universe,"

"Hmmm, and I assume you and the family head will be leading this army?" 

"No, I will have four soldiers who are close to the level of a god leading each platoon. That is the bare minimum if I wish to stand a chance against the threats of this world You will be the first one and your shadow soldier will be your army," Virgil explained

"Thank you. I will not fail you," Jinwoo said with a small bow

"Mr. Domini we have arrived at the residence," the driver spoke through the window

"Good," Virgil said

A few seconds later the door opened and Virgil walked out followed by Jinwoo. To their surprise, they were meant by a crowd of on-lookers.

With a sigh, he ignored them and walked up to the apartment. Walking before him Jinwoo knocked on the door. 

A few seconds later the door opened. They were meant by a young woman with long brown hair and matching eyes. Next to her stood a young man with short black hair and blue eyes.

"Hello, you must be Mr and Mrs.Hunter. A pleasure to meet you," Virgil said holding his hand out

"Oh, you must be Mr.Domini. You a few hours early but please come in," Mary Hunter said standing to the side

"Who is that with you?" William Hunter asked

"This is my brother. He works with me," Virgil said walking inside

"Well when the Belmont Association called I did not expect them to be asking about our little Timothy," Mary said with a smile closing the door

"Speaking of is Timothy here?" Virgil asked

"Yes, he is in his room right now. Would you like us to call him?" Mary asked

"No I wish to speak with you both first," Virgil said sitting across from them

"I will cut to the chase. I know that you are a servant of Queen Titania. I'm not here to hurt Timothy but I need you to start his training now," Virgil spoke with a serious tone

Once he said that both parents charged at him. As a dagger appeared in William's hand he tried to stab Virgil while Mary was about to attack him with a fire spell.

To both their surprise two shadows one of a knight and the other of a humanoid ant appeared holding them down.

Looking up the parents saw Jinwoo looking down at them with bloodlust.

"I told you I'm not here to hurt Timothy but I do need his training to begin. You may not know this but this world is cursed to be destroyed. You can either prepare Timothy and bring him my way when he is ready to progress or you can watch as he dies a meaningless fight as parents who failed to save their son," Virgil said in a serious tone

Taking a second the two looked at each other before sighing and calming down. Being released by the shadows they stood up and sat on the couch.

"What should we do?"William asked

"Just begin teaching him about magic. I wish for him to learn in a loving environment. After that, I will continue his training but you will also be with him the whole time as his moral compass," Virgil explained

"You said he would die a meaningless fight how can we protect him?" Mary asked

"Beru here will watch over Timothy and protect him from danger. Most things that will be a problem won't be able to harm Beru no less Timothy," Virgil replied pointing at Beru

"But I need to know. Why are you doing all of this? and who told you about Queen Titania?" Mary asked 

"I can't answer that for now. But know one thing I wish to protect and help Timothy grow," Virgil said standing up and leaving the house.
