Chapter 48 - Cenarius

Sunday, as everyday people living in the city they never stop working here and there. Like a worker ant searching for something important for them especially necessities. People in the City of New York are quite peaceful but the thing is, there's deep secret in that quietness is that the dark side of the world.

Dark side or some people called for it is the underground world where all crimes happen all the time without even care about police. This might be hidden for now but not in later years, I already predicted what would the outcome of it.

*squeak*

Mopping sound of the floor can be heard inside the restaurant, only one person is currently cleaning the floor, and that is me. For living twice, I think I have a habit of cleaning to the point that even speck of dust cant be seemed, well, anything except for those isn't my place I would not clean those.

*tak* *tak*

A walking noise coming from the exit in the back of the restaurant made me look up whose there, and I saw mom walking towards me wearing her black jacket since it's quite cold today.

"Son, can I talk to you for a minute?" She spoke to me softly as she was worried about something.

"Go, on... cleaning can be delayed, what's up mom?" I said to her as I sat on one of the chairs.

"It's about my mission, they said we should lay low for now," she said to me.

"Huh? What do you mean lay low?" I asked her for not understanding what she just said.

She has pain on her face that she can't say it in front of me, then she answered me back with a bit of hesitation "Can I... are you able to quit in school, no, can leave this country for a couple of years?"

I was not expecting to say it, I thought it was a life or death situation that she can't say it but it was just that? You got to be kidding me not to give her request.

"So... It's just that? Sure, I can leave this country but we are going to some country such as Africa, right? There's no way I can leave in the wilderness in a few months, I mean come on... hahaha" as I said to her jokingly with a chuckle.

Her expression was giving with overwhelming happiness because of my positive answer. Liza may be thought that I would object her decision that's why from the start her expression was so grim.

"Then what about the restaurant mom?" I asked her as I pointed in the table. I would be worried if this business of ours will be stop, it's already pointing where we can't back down. Either you will go back to the beginning or stay high as much as possible.

"You don't need to worry about it, I have already made a preparation. Someone will take place of you, and she may able to handle it... probably?" She said with a doubtful tone.

"Probably? Whom are you talking mom?"

"My coworkers of mine, no need to be worried about it," she said it careless way.

"Then, when I will leave the school? I mean this is a bit of unexpected thing to do, especially my friends in school". That's also true, for a person who's close to suddenly go away somewhere and may able not to come back, it will be quite terrible to feel.

"2 days later..."

"2 days later?! Well, that's... I guess I have to say goodbye to them at least and give an explanation to school tomorrow" I said with a bit sadness, even though it may our last goodbyes especially Jerry, he may be full of muscle headed but he's a bit of softie.

At the other side of the earth, In the Philippine island.

Well, humans can't not able to enter such a place as this because it is the sacred place for druid, enchantress, sprites and many more fascinating and unknown to humans were living on here. They built this sacred land near to a tourist island not make any ruckus and also the important thing is that they want to know what the outside world is going on.

There's a woman, a beautiful woman who seems to be waiting for someone in the cliff. The cliff was like 10 feet tall from the sea, it was just below the clear ocean that you can even see the living creatures and coral below. If this cliff was discovered by the tourist, it will the greatest scenery watching the sunrise early in the morning.

It was just about sunrise when the world seem to tremble but the thing is, the ocean is calm like there's nothing happened at all. As if only the ground is shaking making a sound of huge gigantic horn noises.

*crack*

A massive crack can be seen in front of the woman, it was just a few meters from her. The crack was small at first then suddenly it expand in a matter of seconds. Then, suddenly a hand emerged from the gate while the surrounding was stopped as if the time was stopped when someone emerges from it.

"It's been a while I have been into this mortal world... how long is it been Illyana" a deep voice that can even mortal people can kneel in front of him whenever who heard his voice.

Illyana, yes, Illya the dryad we are talking about. She was the one who is confronting to the visitor.

"It's been 600 years the last time you've visit this world, how's the travel my imminence?" She said with a sense of respect as she was bowing to him.

Then, the guy's feet step on the ground but the weird thing is, he has the lower part of a body of a deer. The guy is bulky with a tribal tattoo on his b.a.r.e c.h.e.s.t that ordinary mage can't decipher this type of tattoo.

He is Cenarius, the great demi-god or the patron of all living druids in the planet earth. He is also guarding one of the heroic shard.

"I'm not here for a visit Illyana but I come here to warn the mortals that a great danger is incoming. We should get ready for a great battle of the whole millennia since our realm is already been compromised by someone..." he said in a tranquil voice, there's not fear nor sadness.

"But how could that po-....!!" Before Illyana finished her sentence, she was interrupted by him.

"It's possible, only one perpetrator could do this... it's him, terrorblade also known as the demon murderer. He is plotting something... Zeus told me that there is a possibility that he would revive Nessaj" he only closes his eyes while talking to Illya.

After hearing the name, Illya's face paled as a white sheet of paper. "Ne-nessaj?! Is that bastard lost his mind to do that such a thing?! If he able to revive him... then the universe is doomed... no, the whole multiverse is in danger!"

"That's right Illyana, the last time he was revived was... chaotic. According to the ancestors of my mother, the world tree as of now they called it Yggdrasil was holding 12 realms for a long time. Nessaj created a maelstrom that caused a great cataclysmic era that cause 3 realms to disappeared out of the thin air.

All the living gods chose to prevent damage to the multiverses, they killed him and sealed his soul that gods even feared where it is. Out of thousands of Gods living on that era... the only left is can be counted in fingers" as he said while closing slowly the portal.

"Illyana, if there's possible that the demon murderer came here... that means he is... reviving him..." his voice fade away as the portal was closed. While Illya doesn't have any strength to stand up she just only sat on the ground, paled faced.
