MY DRAUGR SYSTEM; THE DUAL SENTINEL

THE GREAT ONE

Back in the human world…

On an expanse of dry land with some cactus trees here and there, a single car emerged from inside the ground before speeding off into the distance.

“Uh, I am surprised that you are personally delivering the target this time Boss.” Linda said while sitting beside the masked boss who rapidly drove the car on.

“We are dealing with the government here, little Linda. I can’t take any chances.” The Boss’s voice replied through his bland black mask.

“You know, I never thought you fear anything, you always act like everything and everyone is under your control and it actually seems so, I mean, you even managed to tame Ushar. He was a monster when he joined us.” Linda said shaking her head.

“Every single existence in the universe has its own fears and limitations Linda, not even I am exempted but you are speaking too much already. The mission is still yet to be accomplished and I took you along so you could keep an eye on her.” The Boss said.

“Uh… forgive me boss.” Linda said before spiraling back on her chair and she was facing a silver haired figure lying on a bed in the car.

“What a perfect depiction of sleeping beauty.” She muttered while chuckling in amusement.

The rest of the journey passed in silence and after some moments, the car stopped.

Looking around, Linda could see a small clinic along a deserted road in front of which a rough shaggy looking man sat looking at the car with a curious face.

“Keep an eye on her, I will be back soon.” He said before exiting the car and walking towards the clinic.

“Hey traveler, would you play a game.” The shaggy looking man suddenly asked pointing at a scrabble board in front of him.

“Oh, you do play scrabble?” The Boss spoke before walking towards the rough man with an amused face.

“Well, I may not look like it but I do, quite well at that.” The rough man said boastfully.

“I believe you.” The masked boss replied simply.

“Uh, you are really too calm and what’s with the mask. Wait, what if you are some unknown grandmaster in the game and you are trying to hide your identity. Still, it doesn’t matter because you will have to play according to my rules anyway.” The rough man spoke.

“Your rules?” The masked boss replied in question.

“Yes. My rules one of which is choosing your letter tiles.” The rough man said before ruffling through an old bag by his side and pulling out a paper scrabble board.

He removed some letters as well which he sorted carefully before throwing nine towards the masked boss who caught them all with a hand.

“I expected seven tiles.” The Boss spoke opening his hand, even though he had been given nine tiles, they were all only three letters – seven S tiles, one R, and one E.

“That is if you aren’t playing by my rules.” The rough man replied before swiftly arranging the tiles on the board.

“WHOAREYOU” The tiles read.

“I guess you are beating me on this one.” The Boss muttered before inserting a S and E tile in box beside his opponent’s E, and then inserting a then a R after his opponent E.

“Seer… you indeed lose but pass, take the left turn.” The rough man said and the masked Boss nodded before walking into the Clinic.

Inside the Clinic, he could see a couple tending to a child while two doors stood on either side, he immediately turned left to see a flight of stairs which led into the ground, and soon, he was in a dark underground chamber.

Suddenly, orange light lit the sides of the walls before a voice spoke.

“Where is the target?”

“She is here but first, I would have to have a talk with you.” The Boss said and the place went silent for a moment.

Slowly, a man walked into the circular chamber before looking at the Boss with a slight frown, “The leader of Seer, who really are you?” He asked.

“Throw me your aura sensor.” The Boss spoke and the man’s frown deepened.

“How do you know about that?” The man questioned but he still removed a device from his side and threw it at the masked boss.

When the Boss caught it however, it suddenly dissipated into thin air.

“What! How are you still standing?” The man asked as he took a step back with alarmed face. He had thrown an explosive at this masked person and his hands were supposed to have been blown apart immediately on contact but the whole thing had simply dissipated into thin air.

“That’s smart of you actually and I guess you do know who I am now.” The Boss spoke watching the man’s eyes slowly widened.

“Gr…great one, forgive me great one. I didn’t know it was you.” The man said quickly bowing to the masked boss who nodded.

“You weren’t supposed to know, now listen carefully to this. If the magicians decide to get rid of the Seer Mercenary, don’t deny them the opportunity but withhold from them any information about the lady named Linda Jun. While others are expendable, I would like to keep her alive.” The masked Boss spoke before turning to go.

“So you were in charge of the Seer Mercenary all along, no wonder we couldn’t find information about the leader.” The man standing behind him spoke.

“So?” The Boss said pausing.

“There is one more person, we don’t have any information about them but they exist without doubt. That person, are they like you?” The man asked.

“You are quite brave Roland. I think that’s why you are a general. But still, there are some things you shouldn’t try pry into, that person is one of them and no, he isn’t like me.” The Boss said before walking out of the place.

Back in the car, Linda saw the Boss emerging from the clinic and behind him, a male nurse walked.

“Open the car, he will take her.” The Boss said on reaching the car and she nodded before opening the car for the male nurse who pulled the sleeping silver haired girl away and soon, the car was sped off.
