" Lexi" Kian said and his heart rate suddenly accelerated but Lucris was able to calm him down a bit. When Kian calmed down, he looked at Lucris, the man who had been his father and mother his whole life. " Lucris, how did you-"" It's okay Master Kian, I'm here now " he replied as he gently patted Kian on the shoulder.
But just Then, Kian broke into another fit of coughing." You need to relax young master or else your body won't calm down properly. You'll end up vomiting all your organs at this rate" Lucris advised." How can I calm down Lucris, When- when Lexi has been abducted. I lost the tracker and now I don't know how I'll...."" The tracker is right here . I was also tracking your whereabouts you know" Lucris said , waving the tracker right before him.
"B- but how?" " Well... I think you're probably still in shock, but as I said,I tracked you through it. This is not the time however to ponder on how this or that. I'm here to help you find the young madam" Lucris ended.' Cough!! " what's happening to me Lucris?" " If my deductions are correct, all your powers are simultaneously present. It is manifesting itself in your eyes.
And a few hours ago, you almost transformed into Venomica when you know you're not well prepared to control yourself in such a state " " Can it go back to normal? I don't feel comfortable at all" Kian complained." That will take a few days sir" Lucris replied." Now, I think its best we go save your bond. You can still function normally but with more power" he informed Kian.
Lucris then started the skimmer and sped off with Kian in the passenger seat.
Meanwhile....
" Hello?! Is anybody there ? Kian!? Kiiaaaann?! Lexi was screaming after she regained consciousness but couldn't see a thing as she had been blindfolded. She started wondering how things had escalated so suddenly . She saw about to grab her as she fell, directly in his trajectory, but she was suddenly grabbed from above. Then she lost consciousness after that.
It wasn't long though before she heard footsteps approaching. " Who's there? Please let me go" she started to cry. " I'm afraid I can't do that my dear" the person spoke and Lexi flinched at the depth of his voice. He didn't sound human." There's a really important person I need to meet and you are the only key to that"
" Who are you? Show yourself" Lexi then demanded , the fear she had , shaken off a bit since she realised she mustn't show weakness to the enemy. He let out a slight chuckle before speaking. But I already have, you just can't see me" he replied.
That was a stupid thing to say. Why can't I get myself together, Lexi thought realising her slip up." But either way, you'll see me for yourself then" the voice spoke and the blindfold was gone from Lexi's eyes in a flash. The place was dimly lit so her eyes weren't that much affected as she opened them.
When her vision cleared , she looked up at the owner of the voice and her eyes widened, her mouth hanging open.
" Culis"
" We're getting closer Master Kian" " That's good" Kian responded. His plans were to rip whatever was holding his wife captive apart the moment he laid eyes on the target. They reached another cave where the signal was coming from." I guess this tauricus really likes caves" Kian commented after Lucris parked the skimmer at a place which would make it inconspicuous .
They both moved quietly but stealthily into the cave. As they got deeper, there were signs of a dim light visible at the one end of the cave since it had let then to several tunnels in the cave. Kian increased his pace but Lucris held him back, reminding him to be cautious. They had barely made it to the end when Kian halted at the sight before him.
Lexi was tied to a chair, she had a gag in her mouth and her head was hung low as if she was unconscious. " Lexi!" Kian shouted and ran towards her, Lucris following behind him . He knelt down and gently shook her ." Lexi, are you alright, please answer me"
Lexi slowly raised her head and her eyes opened." Kian" she murmured. " Oh, thank goodness you're alright " he said in relief. He began to untie her but could hear her uttering something inaudible. The moment he finished untying her, she fell into his arms like she'd lost all her strength.
He held her tight but could still hear her murmuring something." Sshh, don't waste your energy, it's alright. I'm here now" Kian assured her but she quickly shook her head ." No Kian , listen to me" she started in a weak voice. Kian lifted her into his arms." Your f- at her...." Then she lost consciousness again. Kian didn't seem to hear what she said and just headed straight for the exit.
He gave Lucris the signal for them to leave when they were blocked by a barrier spell. Kian acted fast an carefully gave Lexi to Lucris." Take her to the skimmer Lucris. I'll break the first barrier so you can teleport out of here. I'll deal with this once and for all " " But Master Kian-"" That's an order Lucris....please" Lucris had his eyes widen at his master's order which sounded more like a plea.
" This is a fight I must finish alone. I'll meet you there once I end this" Lucris was still hesitant to leave him there to face whatever creature was awaiting him but he saw the pleading and pained look in his eyes and could only do as he was told.
" If you need help, you know how to call me" Lucris said and Kian nodded. Kian broke the first barrier and Lucris immediately teleported with Lexi. Kian watched them disappear and his expression after he turned around was more than disturbing.
He heard the heavy movement of the tauricus and when he came face to face with it , his gaze was nothing but kill . The tauricus roared and charged at him without hesitation. But Kian stood rooted to where he was and watched as the creature got closer.
Then his hand suddenly went up facing the tauricus and time immediately froze. Kian walked in a calm manner towards the tauricus and his anger flared. He delivered a bone cracking punch which sent the tauricus flying into the wall of the cave.
Kian did a double teleportation and appeared right before the tauricus could even finish it's collision with the wall, and hit it again with all he had.Kian kept punching non-stop, his knuckles almost bleeding but he kept on landing blows.
Lucris who had just placed Lexi in the skimmer and secured her there felt the tremors that came from the cave and he immediately knew he had to do something. He cast a protection spell on Lexi and teleported back to the cave.
When he got there, Kian seemed to have lost it as all that could be heard were the screams and curses coming out of his mouth as he pushed and kicked the creature with immeasurable force. The creature already looked half dead from the look of things. It was immobile as Kian continued to destroy it.
"Master Kian, that's enough. It's over. It looks destroyed already. We need to find the person behind this so it's okay now" Lucris probed but the young man seemed redundant to stop there.
Lucris had no other choice than to cast a restraining and calming spell on Kian which seemed to slow down his actions. When Kian finally seemed sane again, Lucris moved him to lean by the wall.
The tauricus was still immobile at this point.
