Beatitudes

Episode 24.

" Who.. are you?"

The question was one he felt was the most stupid he could ask, like he already knew the answer and could never forget, but he sincerely didn't know. The voice came again with a warm tone.

" I'm sure you already know who I am Issac, It's been a while, it's been a good while since we've been able to communicate so I can only be glad that after staying by your side through your past and your present, I'm finally able to serve you once again.. I, Astral, Guardian spirit of Earth is glad to once again serve you properly. "

The emotions behind the voice was clear to Issac, He felt it all as the words said resonated with him somewhat,

' Astral... Earth... Guardian spirit. '

Saying those words made his eyes water up as he wondered in bafflement what was wrong with him, he felt like something was struggling to push itself out within his mind but it was stuck firmly wherever it was. Sensing his agitation, the voice spoke again in a calming tone,

" Don't force yourself Issac, it'll come back to you when it's time, for now and till then, I'll be guiding you to remember all you need to. "

Meanwhile those watching all the changes on Issac as his body gave off a faint golden glow and a fiery light gathered around him had differing expressions as thoughts ran through their minds,

Harry looked on confused and flabbergasted as he felt like this Issac he was seeing didn't seem like the one he knew, with the red light around his body that was getting stronger and radiating heat, he wondered what was going on, he honestly had no clue and he could only stare on and wait for whatever was going on to end. There was one thing that kept talking at the back of his head though and it was one that he couldn't deny, Issac who he was friends with wasn't as human as he seemed to be, he didn't know how the thought came but once it did, it rooted itself completely into his thoughts. He could feel a slight difference in the atmosphere around Issac now, perhaps that was why he felt as such.

The other also the change in atmosphere around Issac, feeling the slight change, a glow passed through Hiya's beautiful eyes as she mused with a perplexed expression.. ' This aura.. why do I feel I have felt it somewhere, It's... it's.. ' and then a memory kept in her head popped up as she remembered that day, ' Yes... this is the same aura I felt from that man, sister told me not to approach him at any time, she seemed so attentive around him.... I think... she said he was from that race... yes, the Fallen race, that's the race..hmm, so he's from that race?... but the aura feels a little too small and... could he be... mixed race..!! '

As those thoughts passed through her mind, her expression had unknowingly changed several times and as she voiced the last two words in her mind, the shock she felt was immense and she immediately stopped thinking, but those two words kept flashing incessantly in her mind...

Adam on the other hand was calm as he conversed with Horace,

" As I suspected, he isn't human, at least not this time."

"..... But this isn't a race I can remember from those we've been seeing... "

" Yeah I know, but it's not like the ones we've seen are all there is, although the bloodline pressure I can feel seems pure and strong even with how miniscule it is within him. "

"...... it'll be revealed soon anyways, although I don't think he knew about it at all, he seems very much confused. "

As he watched, he saw the dazed and confused look Issac had as he looked at himself, he felt the full presence of Astral now, which showed he had also awakened, it was probably why Issac hadn't freaked out yet and kept calm despite the confusion, Astral and Issac had an odd bond, they were close to each other as possible, Issac even saw him as a father figure, but that was then and he couldn't remember that now...

" Alright, let's get going, I appreciate how you both stuck to your decision, too bad you're still weak though. "

Adam's voice brought them all out of their thoughts as they realized the darkness had cleared and all signs of the people who were living and standing not so far from them had been cleared away.

Harry looked at everything before he spoke up, with a questioning gaze at Adam,

" You've been with us the whole time."

"Pretty much, yeah.", the indifferent voice of Adam came out as a reply, " What?.. Did you expect me to rush and kill them all the instant they threatened you. "

With those words, Harry swallowed back the words he was about to say. Meanwhile Hiya and Issac didn't anything and pondered different things.

At last Harry spoke up again as he looked at the three in his sight, " So.. What now?"

Replying him was Adam who kept his eyes in Issac, " Well what now is that we're going on a little journey, We don't have spare time so I guess you two could follow along with us. "

Hearing that, Harry nodded his head, " I don't mind that... "

An eyebrow was raised as Adam turned to look at the other two he barely knew anything of, " I wasn't asking you, I was telling you, it's either that or you end up in another sure death situation, when we get to where we're going, you'll have freedom to choose what you want to do after that. "

Two pair of eyebrows furrowed slightly as they listened and then relaxed as they accepted their fate, it was either that or getting left behind. Issac at this point felt a slight throb in his heart as he raised his head to look at Adam and asked, " Where are we going?"

Seeing his reaction, Adam had a tiny grin on his face as he spoke, " We're going to go meet up with her..."

Such an odd reply puzzled Harry and Hiya but for some reason Issac didn't feel confused, all he felt was the throbbing in his heart getting stronger, as "her" was said, a blurred picture appeared in his mind as he looked at it without seeing through it, yet the throbbing became even more prominent. So many had been happening to him that he didn't have any mind to understand them anymore for now, so he just kept quiet as he nodded.

Seeing the nod, the grin on Adam's face grew slightly as he spoke to all of them,

"Let's get going then."
