Book 2: Chapter 33: Questions and Answers Part I

Scarlet

Some of the demons that have strong senses of smell such as the triheart demons will likely be able to smell the blood lycan scent on you, Tar says as we walk out of the mall and rather quickly make it to the limo. But only a very limited amount of demons will actually be able to recognize the scent. The majority of them will likely never have met a blood lycan in their lives, only having seen the royal family through gemstone broadcasts.

Okay, thats not as bad as I was wait, gemstone broadcasts? What are those?

Theyre like the demons version of TV, I guess you could say, Tar answers as the vehicle begins moving towards the next closest Fracture without wasting any time. Since demons have limited technology thanks to the barrier placed on the planet as a whole, they had to resort purely to magic for certain things, such as communication between the royal family and the people for instance.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Actually, do you know why the humans from their world put a barrier up in the first place? And come to think of it, I feel like we talked about this subject before. But you also mentioned something about not finding me with the help of your father back then, and we never actually discussed it. Whats with that?

How did you find me?

Tar doesnt say anything for a few seconds before answering my first question, Were not entirely sure what led to the human races extinction on Tartarus, but we do at least know that the barrier was a last ditch move the humans did, knowing full well that it wouldnt stop the demons in any way.

So they basically did it just as revenge? Like a final curse on the demons after their death?

Right, Tar answers before going completely silent.

I wait for nearly two minutes, but he doesnt say anything else. And right when were about to arrive at the next closest Fracture, he finally says, I will answer your other question later tonight. When you arent in the middle of a Demonic Assault.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

My eyes narrow at that for a second, only for me to eventually shrug my shoulders.

Guess it doesnt matter if he answers now or later today.

Another reason the researchers believe theres an artificial aspect to the cores, Tar provides as I get close to my suite, only to notice a certain young girl standing outside of it swinging her foot back and forth in an impatient manner. With of course a few people standing around her practically beckoning to her every whim.

Well, every whim aside from leaving her alone.

The girl looks up at the sound of my footsteps echoing through the hall before a smile lights up her face something thats started happening in the past couple weeks every time she sees me. And, according to her butler, only when she sees me.

Scar! Aria shouts as she immediately ditches the three officials who Im pretty sure work for the academy, leaving them rather flabbergasted at the sight of her sudden shift in mannerisms. Youre here!

I ignore the officials as well when she quite literally jumps at me, making me catch her in my arms as I continue walking towards my suite.

What are you doing here? I ask her out of curiosity before giving a cursory nod to the three officials who are staring at us and then entering my suite, letting the door shut behind me, leaving them outside.

Mister Roger said I could have the rest of the day off on account of a Fracture happening at our next shoot, Aria says, her voice losing some of her initial excitement at seeing me again. So I had him bring me here.

Did you now? I ask, sounding slightly amused at the girl. Although more amused by the officials we kind of ditched in the hallway than that, to be honest.

Being around her is always rather entertaining because of how everyone treats her despite her treatment of them in return.

I set her on the ground, which she doesnt mind, before walking over to my TV and turning it along with my game console on. Then handing her the spare remote I have and asking, Wanna play?

She takes the remote without a word and sits down along with me on the couch as the console boots up.

Always rather relaxing to just sit here and play games.

I honestly cant wait for that beta test to start up though.
