" I'm going to work now "
" Work ? at this hour ? "
" There is a lot I have to do, time is almost running up "
Nephthys left
What did she mean by that ?
Amabilis was curious but he had more important things to take care of right now
****back to present****
" ah,ah,ah. Cous it hurts "
" I am glad it does. My back hurt for days and I even got sinusitis because I had to carry you in the middle of a very cold night "
Amabilis was strangling his cousin
" Alright, alright I get it "
" Oh no you don´t, I hope you will be haunted forever by those memories, how you embarrassed yourself in front of your master "
while still being strangled by his cousin Avner put his hands into his hair and started pulling
" AH, let go of my hair this instant "
" No you let go first "
" Damn you "
The two of them kept fighting for a while
*bang*
their door fell on the floor making a very loud sound, loud enough to make the two of them freeze in fear
" You…."
" Do you want to die …..? "
Madam Mira in her pyjama messy hair and eyes like a fish that were looking right into their souls was awakened by their fighting and she was not happy about it
" Go to sleep right now "
They didn't have to hear it twice they both jumped into bed covered themselves with the blanket
" Now hug "
And they did
" If I hear one more sound I am going to kill you then make you both share a coffin "
Now that she said all there was to say she left and went back to sleep
Avner and Amabilis were still hugging even after their aunt left, they were still under shock
***2 years later***
" Looks like you mastered the element, you worked hard "
the master and her disciple were in the forest as usual, only this time Avner didn't need her help at all, he managed to kill every single demon that had attacked him "
Nephthys couldn't help but look down at him proudly of what he had become and Avner couldn't help himself but smile looking up at Nephthys
" Master take me to diner "
" Very well, what would you like to eat ? "
" Hmm… ..how about soup "
" That's an excellent idea "
the two of them started walking out of the forest together side by side
" The weather is getting a lot colder lately "
" Well we are entering winter after all "
Avner wasn't the only one that changed but so did Nephthys, she started to open up to Avner she was also spending more time with the emperor and secretary as well with her teammates whom she has also trained for many years
Avner was still very much in love with Nephthys but she never accepted his feelings back
" Woah, this soup looks so good "
" Its soup "
Avner was overreacting
" But it looks a lot more batter and tastes a lot more better when I am with you "
" Avner "
" Yes "
" Just eat your soup or I will pour it down your nose drills "
" How cruel, how can you smile like that while saying something so devilish "
In the past two years Avner had spent with Nephthys, he was the happiest. Even if she never reciprocate his feeling Avner was just happy to be around her

" What ? Me ? "
" I am talking to you so who else do you think ? "
" But why would you want me to join the shadows ? "
" Because I think you have potential "
" I am honored you think that.. ..but do you really think this potential is potentialing enough to be part of the shadows, I mean they are no joke "
" Of course they are no joke I trained them and before that they were just normal people like you, the only thing that made them the best of the best was their intense training "
" ….. "
Amabilis didn't know how to respond to her offer after all, they were literally the elites of the elites
" Amabilis, you have people you have to protect, become part of my team and no one will dare to even think of challenging you or your family, Miyeon already decided "
" Miyeon too ? "
" Of course, do you think my team is made only out of muscle, they need brain too.. ….you will have to work a little on that "
" Did you just call me an idiot ? "
" Well looks like you're not that stupid after all, good job "
" Hmpf, of course I am not that dump "
" Don't worry I was just kidding.. ….partially "
" What does that mean "
" Well I am waiting for your response, don't feel pressured "
" Sigh, alright. I'll think about it "
" You'll have till tomorrow "
" HA. and she says no pressure "
" What are you talking about, twenty four hours is a lot of time "
Amabilis could only make faces, when she wasn't looking of course
`***
" How is the situation right now ? "
" It doesn't seem to be very good "
" Where did they even come from ? "
Demos were starting to appear more frequently again and terrorize the citizens
" They only keep growing in number "
"..."
The emperor and his secretary were thinking of a way to stop this but Nephthys knew exactly how
" If you don't like the babies you first have to kill the mom to stop her from creating them "
Nephthys said it so casually that Deheeran and Dillon opened their eyes in pure shock
" What ? "
" Your majesty did she just asked us "what" as if what she had said was alright "
" Yes. Yes she did ? "
" What I mean is, in order to stop them from being born we first need to stop the one that creates them "
" You could've said that instead of that unnecessary interpretation.. …."
" Your majesty I am leaving "
" No you are not "
the mood in the room changed to a more tense one after Nephthys announced her leaving
" It is time "
" WHAT TIME ? YOU….you don't have time "
