KNIGHTS OF LAZARD(Rise with dark hour)

"It's just a coincidence."

"YOU DID IT! you did great Allison" said Rade as both came out of the office room and Allison picked up his bag.

"I was soaked in sweats by standing in front of him. I thought I would screw up the whole matter." replied the boy exhaling.

Rade laughed and said, "Well, you need to rest. The tough part is over. Now come on. Let's head to your room."

"Yeah, thank you so much." nodded Allison.

Following Rade, they heard further and turned left leading upstairs. Right after crossing two layers of stairs, they came up to a wide area empty and huge. There came was four sides.

Three section rooms in the left and right stairs heading leading up, down which these were available in the corner of the hall, long passage straight ahead of them leading at another stairs up. Rade took him to the right side straight to the last room of the floor at the left. Taking out a key, he said,

"You don't need to meet up with the other knights, yet. They are all busy and won't spare much time for greetings. In such a time, you better take rest. Here's your key and here's your room. Good day and hope you rest well." he happed his shoulder and left away, leaving him alone.

Allison turned, unlocked the door and opened the door, entering the dark room. When switched on the light, he got surprised to see a wide room with a single bed, a cupboard, a dressing table, a cloth-stand and a mirror at a corner.

From the looks of it, this room seem big enough for two people to be partner, sharing their own furniture however, this one was only one.

Allison settled himself by placing his bag simply into the cupboard and then laid on the bed releasing a deep sigh, he said looking at the ceilings, "It was a tough day today. Travelling all the way and then meeting up with different people with different ranks one by one. I am done now. I need rest. zzzz" soon he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the Captain's Office Rade and Captain Raimon were busy discussing a matter. While reading a paper, Rade said, "Captain, from the looks of the report that the two knights Romeo and Shinn gave and the one incident that took place in Nero train. The frequency reading on both sides are quite different from each other. Their data plus, the signal reading, all calls in an extreme different level. What do you think, Siir about this?"

Captain Raimon was also reading a paper when he sat back thinking while still staring at the note in his hand, "Do you think there's another opening of a different portal?" he questioned the employer standing beside the table.

"Why do you think? Is there any possibility like that?" he asked.

"Perhaps, in my view" replied the Captain looking at his paper. He gave out his thoughts that if one's reading is quite different from other and it appears once in a single second this means there is a chance of another gate to open and a new arrival will visit from a different planet or a new invader."

This stunned Rade. He asked the Captain to think about what he was saying twice.

Mankind haven't revolved back from the last disaster then why is there another chance for a new threat. What's happening to us isn't enough yet? If this goes on we all will get wiped out in no time. We are, meaning Knights of Lazard isn't in a good condition either to fight this. Then how are we suppose to react on it?

At the moment, Captain Raimon was lost in thoughts. He did hear all but, there was something else in his mind. Placing his paper in the table, he picked up a bundle in which a brief information was written with the person's photo.

"Question Rade?" he spoke up.

"Yes, sir" puzzled the man.

"To my thoughts, is this strange gate opening phenomena attending all over the world or just our country?" he asked.

"Pardon..." questioned Rade in surprise, "I am sorry but, I am not getting to the point."

"I was kind of wandering there must be some chances of connection inside our own country if it's not yet appeared in the other part of the world."

"But, it's the first ever incident with the first appearing ever made in the world. Why would you say that?. Your doubts are appearing on your own country. Is everything alright, sir?" asked the employer getting perplexed by every words.

Captain Raimon placed the paper back on the table, turned his seat to the window and watched outside at the red sky that made his head boil red in thoughts. Rade waited for any sentences.

After thirty minutes, Raimon spoke up, "I don't really suspect my knights. They are hard working and trying their best however, since that one has recently arrived so, I can't say much of a word however..." he paused.

"You mean that new boy named Allison"

"Yes," he turned to him giving out his thoughts, "Don't you think when he arrived or when he appeared in scene our peaceful life got disturbed by these strange phenomenon starting over us."

"What..?" lost Rade his voice out if confusion.

"Don't get me wrong but, it's just a hunch" marked out his sentence. Raimon admitted the fact that Allison still new and they didn't know anything about him, they had to give him chance.

On the other side, there was a dark thought. Never before, after the Red explosion that injured the earth, wiping out an entire century of mankind in a single dawn, never such things occurred.

But, once HE appeared, the ratio started and now is growing. Does it has something to do with him?

Rade was getting him however, he didn`t accept this fact and said smiling, "I don't think so, he looks obedient and decent Not to mention, his age. He's still 20. Nit much can be even expected from him."

"You have a point but, that can't attract my thoughts." replied the Captain staring at the photo, turning Rade speechless, "it could be a coincidence."

The person in the photo really caught his attention as his thoughts were growing wild. He was fixed on him as thought of an idea to use on him and see whether his expectations were in their place it would take a turn.

This person's photo was fixed in the eyes of the Captain, was of the same young boy who just left the room named Allison...
