Spectral Claws: Ancient Recurring

A Rekindled History Of the Trio

It really was here after all. An ancient lost city of miners and builders that seemed to have seemed as a shelter in the place where Romans had been birthed. The castle was built by them then. We were about to find out why and how, but Calfian distracted us by making us move out so we can go out to the castle already which is the Speyer Cathedral now and we got on his carriage.

He let us sit together and without cuffs its only because he had taken his helicopter just to get there quicker than we can. It's a matter of trust. We were going to the place in this jumpy and unstable carriage blocking roads and towns,streets.People had looked at us as though we were Kings and queens of another country but many of them were weirded out going through the middle of the city like this.

"Hey! oh yes I'm the prince of Transylvania! thank you everyone. "

Gen held his hand and stopped him as he was causing too much attention, "Would you stop? " Derik smiled remembering these moments and softly hugged her, "Really missed ya, pal... after the split it was even hard to find Faudian but here we are... Ah, I tried I couldn't be that emotional. "

I giggled and Gen chuckled at his stupidity, "yes, derik only before I hadn't known that you were both supernatural... which is quite exciting to know after all these years. The son of king of vampires and the king of werewolves were my best friends at college and school. It's also quite terrifying too. "

We smiled at her, I did realise bringing her with us all the time before was dangerous for her. I could say half of it is because she's stubborn and adamant and she won't let us off alone, "Well we are glad you know the truth and still at our side , honestly."

Derik said smiling widely and Gen softly pat his shoulder while smiling at his funny face. I smiled as well remembering a part of the past about us and slowly talked to her giving what's at due," Thanks... for having our back there. It could have gotten worse if it wasn't for you. " I smiled at her and she did too while gently staring into my eyes, "Of course, Faudian I wouldn't come this far to just kill you off you know. " She said smiling wider. I was calm and my mind was quiet having an old friend and finally reuniting the trio we were.

This bundles up a lot of memories and also some. insight. Without knowing I guess whilst realising I was staring at her eyes and so did she at mine. Derik looked at the both of us smiling cheaply thinking of something else, "You are always like this, focus on the matter at hand Derik. " I said sighing and smiling at Gen as I set my eyes apart from her.

Gen glared at Derik but then she sighed too and smiled at him, "Derik come on.. "

She said whilst Derik still kept that smile on his face chucking a bit.

"There is no idea you guys have for the fun I'm having right now, you guys were always top notch to hang out with. Thanks to you we had that old wine we found under that dead guy I forgot his name. "

Gen pointed at him and we both said at once, "Xavier Francis. " we giggled at the jinx and cherished our memories together, "Yes! He was this old guy who goes to seek treasure in the high mountains near our college long before in the 14th century for the mayan villagers. " she said remembering all the details which made me quite surprised and I continued the story that brought us back the sense of togetherness.

"He seeked the treasure of Jaguar Gold and only came across the treasure which is the treasure of knowledge. It was a room full of manuscripts and mayan literature, he was sad but he learnt all of it somehow staying there overnight not getting outside. "

Derik was interfering as he wanted to say something that he actually really remembered and it gave the both of us a very surprised look, "He dies just in asphyxiation and even without food and water his curiosity and thirst for knowledge was so much that i***t didn't want to do anything else. It's like dark magic except it was just his mind not able to take the grasp of such knowledge... oh yeah unfortunately he burnt it and then he died so.. " We looked at him like a parent would if their child learned something at school.

Derik raised his hand looking at our faces confused, "the- what? right none of that was right then? Go on mock me, mock me my good intellectual friends who exceed me in these cases for sure, but I found the bottle which we cherished outside and that was a good time. "

He almost teared up and Gen pat his shoulder bringing him close, "Cheer up mate you were actually damn right about all of it. " Derik looked at me astonished to reassure what he heard, "Wait is that true? Did I hear that? "

I smiled and chuckled at my fellow mate with a bit of pride, "Yes , yes that's exactly what happened. Except, of course he burnt himself as well not able to take the torture but only after he fainted from asphyxiation so, just that. "

Gen looked at me and shook her head, "Typical, Faudian and Derik huh, you know I always though being away was good for all of us. "

Derik and I looked at each other, he glared at me speaking with his eyes letting me know it was my fault, "Ya.. I'm at fault for keeping us safe? " I sighed and so did Derik as he spoke too, "Absolutely not man, you saved us but... you , you know you didn't have to go alone do that detective job all by yourself you know. "

Gen sighed and looked at Derik then back at me a little sad, " He's..

He's right, you could have called Faudian. I didn't know what you went through with all that insight. I know it wasn't easy but... we were always there for you. "

She said quite assuring and looking down a bit worried. She was consoled a little by Derik. I said something I never would have said if they didn't bring this up but here I was, "I'm sorry... "

Derik was astonished to hear that word from my mouth, "Whoa whoa, dude that's so not you. The world's greatest detective for supernatural says Sorry. "

Gen smiled and looked at me, holding my hand and looking into my eyes leaning a little forward, "You just mean a lot to Derik and... me too. You are my best friend, it was just not fair to keep us in the dark about you but we are saying we were always there for you Faudian. "

Derik smiled at her and looked at me, "I understand, Perhaps we will discuss what happened later because. " I pointed outside with excitement, "There is the cathedral at its divine beauty... " They all turned to look and the second they did their jaws dropped as much as they could, "God, Jesus rocks" Derik said while almost getting off from the carriage to look at it. "It's magnificent. The architecture is absolutely not built by humans of this age. "

I nodded agreeing and still at awe and relief looking at this and finally making it here, "You are right, this was hid very well by the egyptians and the romans until they made it into this. "

We all looked at each other with an ambitious and calming look holding each other's hands and actually trying to take all of this inside, "We actually made it guys... we are here at last. "

We smiled at here and I smiled at Derik looking at him assuring him our plan worked halfway through. He smiled back and nodded closing his eyes, we could make more since this far we had come, "She's right Faudian, you made it... "

Gen looked at me as well, "You did it... Faudian"

I was given back my journal. I couldn't believe this as these guys just said I did not do it with their help but such good companionship only comes with reassurance of showing them the same by doing something for them, "Absolutely not we did this and... "

Derik shook his head, "No we know how much this means to you . You should be the man to take the first step into the greatness, go, do it. "

I was quite amused by this as I chuckled, "Guys come on what is this. "

Gen went on with him and also pushed, "Go, uh. You should be the first man to make it here of the trio, absolutely"

I chuckled pretty well after a long time, "Ok, ok dont hurry me. " I took my journal and with a lot of passion I set foot onto the entrance of the cathedral. I took in the air and felt all of it's atmosphere with grace as I stepped forward reassuring myself that this was rather reality and we were going to make history.

This was for new begi-- what is this feeling I'm getting. I was alarmed as my brain was ringing quite well and I felt the left side of my head quite hurting too. "Oh god, what is this... " I was suddenly shown a brief history through the vision of the man who actually did make it first into this castle, "... this man.. where is he at now. "

Seeing a symbol I had fainted in reality Naufilus was probably back but I wasn't so sure..

This , whatever I had felt was connected to the past like... I was here to accomplish something I had left before... Now, here I am.
