Chapter 183 - The great Confusion.

While Seer was giving most of the Unit a proper tour of Pameres Kingdom, Eric and Mogranius were held back by King Zar. Important topics have to be discussed and King Zar wasn't sure if he should speak of them in front of the entire Unit last night. It can't be sure how much trust Eric has put on the entire Unit, at least not too sure King Zar. Apart from that, the entire Unit was dead tired. They wouldn't be able to focus on such a topic or any other for that matter.

The topic King Zar wants to talk about, is the very topic he dropped his fork for last night! He played it off as nothing, but there sure is a lot to talk about! Luckily, the three are alone. The maids were ordered to stay out and only enter once called. King Zar didn't mean any form of disrespect of course, It's just that these topics require strong privacy.

"You might be wondering why I asked to have a talk with you two." Broke King Zar the silence, and eased the two Fire Controller's anxiety at least a little bit. They weren't sure what to expect, they even told Commander Alia that they will join later since they woke up when she was about to leave for the tour. They didn't exactly explain the situation to her in order to not make a big deal out of all of this, they didn't tell her that King Zar called for the two a blink before Commander Alia passed through the scene.

"Well yes! We were looking forward to the tour." Expressed Mogranius as if he was a child whose toy was taken away, it is nice to see that he didn't drop all his childish behaviours even after the little tragedy he went through at Gaster Kingdom roughly a couple of weeks ago. As for Eric, he was waiting for a more proper explanation. 

"I wanted to talk about it last night, but all of you were already too tired!" Clarified King Zar to explain his choices, his behaviour.

"Point taken. So what's the issue?" Asked Mogranius as he sat on the dining table, taking a bite off bread. The rest had breakfast a bit earlier, as for Mogranius and Eric, they woke up later. Worked to their advantage for once I assume.

"Last night you mentioned something about an attack at your town..." Cut King Zar to the case right away, there are a lot of points to clarify. There is no time to waste or he could forget what he wants to say.

"Yes. The attack led by that worthless chunk of meat, Chan." Mogranius has a good description of him indeed, most aren't good words though. Mogranius would of killed him long ago actually, but a Source Bear intervened. We further established that before. But the point is, he doesn't like Guard Commander Chan.

"I think I know what they might be doing. What they needed that Heart for." This can be rather impactful, it could unintentionally add more Burden to these two's shoulders, especially Eric's. But at least King Zar was quite straight, he doesn't beat around the Bush!

"Really? That would prove as big help right now. It has been puzzling us for the past 5 months!" Pointed out Eric, finally joining the conversation instead of just listening in silence. Mogranius is taking enough for the both of them so I guess Eric's silence can escape unnoticed.

Before they sunk deeper into this conversation, King Zar felt like he had the responsibility to point out. "I can't remember his words in exact detail, he only mentioned it a couple of times a bit before I was sent here..."

Luckily, Mogranius showed understanding for once and acted his age! "Its okay... Tell us what you remember!" Actually no, he just wanted to know everything about this topic right now!

"Thank you." Rubbing his temples to remember as much as he can, King Zar first pointed out. "He mentioned that he would need to get three items in order to grant powers to someone who doesn't have any." Then he proved that he can't remember pretty well. He even accidentally offended an... well just listen to him. "I can't remember what the other two were, but one was a Heart from a Caredum Letum."

"I believe that you can't remember everything in detail." Expressed Eric and afterwards had the urge to clarify. "They are actually called "Calidum Lutum"."

"Right. Sorry." He didn't intend to be racist in any way, that's the last thing he wants to doo. He just didn't hear enough about the Calidum Lutum throughout his lifetime.

"It doesn't matter. But who would he need to grant power even after considering how powerful he is! He doesn't need any help." Eric was of course the one to point this out, he was eyes to eye with the "ManBeast", furthermore he does have a firm point.

"I'm not sure, I'm as confused as you. Especially because at first, he wanted to give me Powers. But didn't have the resources or information to do so. It escaped forgotten, until now." That's a twist of events, but it just makes everything more confusing. Like the fact that he didn't get rid of King Zar when he was born. A bit of a rude description, but you get my point. Zar's siblings shared a different fate!

"Do you think that it can be related to my recent appearance as an Electus?" Asked Eric, perceptive enough actually. If Stefan was here he would tell at least a hundred scenarios of what King Xakro might be planning, but they wouldn't know which one to believe first. Less ideas, are good for once.

"Very likely, but I don't know why he would try to grant powers to anyone." The second part however, still doesn't add up for them. As isolated King Xakro is, he could still take on Eric and inevitably win.(Like pointed out a bit after this paragraph.).

"Maybe to hunt us?"

"I doubt it. No offense but he could kill you easily!" Stated King Zar, he is quite aware of his Father's powers, but so is Eric.

"None taken, I know. It confuses me more. He could of killed me when he faced me in Crutal Kingdom, but didn't." It became even more confusing once Eric found out that King Xakro is basically a more unstable version of an Electus.

"What!" King Zar wasn't of course well informed. There isn't anyone who can provide him with such sensitive information.

"You didn't know that?"

"How would I even know that?" Answered King Zar as he rubbed his forehead roughly, trying to make as much sense out of his Father's moves as possible. But it just didn't click no matter how much he tried to remember, he was used to tuning his father out.

"Oh right, you cut your entire relations with him." Remembered Mogranius, a rather big detail to leave out but it doesn't affect the conversation too much, apart from using a bit more time pointing out some facts that is.

"Yes. But his actions, his moves. They aren't random even though confusing to us. He is completely insane but each step he takes is planned years before. Don't underestimate him!" This caused an ongoing headache, everything just continued to be more and more confusing.

Confusion struck the three no doubt, but one thing slipped from this conversation that Mogranius didn't ask much about. "Your Father tried to grant you powers?"

"Yes. He wanted to grant me Mind Control, so one could finally claim the throne. But the required item was practically impossible to get." Out of all the 7 Choices he had, why would he Choose mind control? There must be more to this, but even King Zar doesn't know what. They didn't really share much conversations.

"As hard as getting a Calidum Lutum's heart?"

"Maybe. I don't remember what it was, I tuned him out. He talks about these ideas all the time but rarely does them." Imagine living with the most powerful human being who got cursed with 7 Demons, and not paying attention to what he says. Ladies and Gentlemen, King Zar.

"Or maybe he is waiting for the best time to do them." Suggested Eric, using King Zar's claims about his father as an aid. A man who plans everything, can't be underestimated.

"We can't really be sure." Letting out a long sigh and aiming to be positive and more realistic actually, trying to relieve them too. "But he can't do anything now, every odd is working to his disadvantage. All of Meridionali Ignis is trying to wipe out the Snow Ignites. We have time to prepare against anything he might be launching against us."

"The Snow Ignites, my father told me about them. Me and Eric will head too Septemtrionis Ignis to see what's going on, we will part ways with the Unit at Green Kingdom." Once again, Mogranius was careful with his words. It isn't certain how much they can tell King Zar about their intends, King Zar has been very helpful but he shares Xakro's genes after all. Mogranius feels like he has to be very careful.

Confused how Mogranius still has his father alive no doubt, King Zar decided to Ignore that fact and focused on something more important. "I hope you shed some light to this story, the Snow Ignites can be great allies." Luckily, King Zar didn't analyze Mogranius' wordplay. If he did, he would need to ask at least three more questions, which would be followed by more questions, it is a vicious cycle.
