Chapter 190: Chapter – 169 - A Somber Reunion

Ezekihel’s Point Of View

The flight back to StohneGarrdin was filled with a tense silence. It wasn’t so much as awkward, as it was ominous. I didn’t need to ask Meyhymn if he was alright. I knew exactly how he was feeling, because I was also feeling the same way.

I was absolutely worried about our future, but for some reason, I was even more worried about my newly found family. Tristan and I had become incredibly close over the years, my relationship with Synnahmen was just as strong.

I wouldn’t be able to live a life without any of them anymore. The girls had grown up into smart, talented, and incredibly reliable women. Joobehlee was taking after Sable and her evil tactics, more and more each day.

Arrisa was insanely reliable, and always called me just to check up on me. Honestly, she probably called me more than anyone else, Meyhymn not withstanding.

Sable was much more independent than she had been before. She would often call me just to show off a new outfit she had recieved, or a painting that she had made. It didn’t take a genius to see how much she loved Raihne, either.

He was always being helplessly dragged into one of her schemes, or crazy ideas. It didn’t seem like it bothered him at all, but he didn’t seem to look at Sable the same way she looked at him.

But even so, I wanted to do everything I could, to protect them. I wanted them to live a worry and stress free life, as well. I didn’t want them to constantly be on the run, or always looking over their shoulders for an attack.

’We deserve to have a life of our own choosing too... Right?’

"E?... Ezekihel?"

"Huh? Yes? What is it?" I asked, looking up at Meyhymn in confusion.

"I said, we’re here now..." He sighed.

It was only then that I realized we had already landed in Ferdinand’s yard, the rotors quietly ebbing to a stop. I looked back at Meyhymn, embarrassed. I had apparently been too caught up in my own thoughts to notice anything.

"It’s fine. I’m worried too." Meyhymn said scooping me up, and heading for the door.

"I don’t know what I can do to help, but I’ll do anything to keep them smiling." I said, putting my face into his neck.

"I know. I swear to do my best work yet. We’ll get through this somehow..." He replied, squeezing me tightly.

It was comforting to know that he was just as worried, and that he was going to put his all into winning this fight. He had spent two entire days secluded in his lab. I had spent those days packing, and getting the house ready for our inevitable extended stay.

He wouldn’t tell me what he had been up to in there, only ever saying that he was ’Protecting his assets’.

It didn’t really bother me that he had been up to something so time consuming. I probably wouldn’t have been able to understand him anyway if he went on another excited tangent, about his latest hacks.

His conversations would slowly become incoherent, and confusing. I never had the heart to stop him, because he always had this happy and excited glimmer in his eyes.

When we reached the main doors, Torhrezz was already standing in wait for us.

"Its good to see you again, Ezekihel and Meyhymn. Please come in. The others are currently in a meeting." Torhrezz said, ushering us inside.

Meyhymn set me down, and took my hand. As we walked inside, Arrisa and the others were quickly approaching.

"Ezekihel! Welcome home!" Arrisa said, immediately giving me a tight hug.

"I’m home." I said, hugging her back.

She always said the same thing when we would come to visit, and I always felt so welcomed when she did. This was my home away from home.

"It’s good to see you guys. Where are the twins?" I asked, looking around.

It was practically unheard-of, seeing the girls without the twins. I couldn’t remember a single time that they had both been missing from their sides.

"They’re with the others in the meeting. All of the lieutenants and right hands are attending. Synnahmen is in the great room." Sable said, linking our arms.

"You go on ahead, I will attend the meeting as well. I want to do my part. Ezekihel, try to rest a bit... Please?" Meyhymn asked, looking worried.

"Alright. Come find me later. I love you." I said, putting on my best smile.

I knew that he was really telling me not to keep stressing out, and to stop thinking about unnecessary things. But I knew that that would be impossible.

’After all, we haven’t even left the starting line of this battle yet.’

Meyhymn’s Point Of View

"Torhrezz, please lead the way." I said, after giving Ezekihel a brief kiss.

Torhrezz nodded, and began to ascend the stairs. I followed closely behind. I had uncovered a lot of unsettling shit in the past couple of days. It was definitely something that the others would need to know.

It was possible that there were multiple schemes in play, and they were no doubt looking for the best time to strike during the inevitable clash.

’All of those ignorant, selfish, greedy, detestable bastards are an eyesore. I will put my all into exposing these annoying pieces of shit. For the sake of my family, for the sake of our future, and for the sake of my mate...’

"This is as far as I can go. Please go inside, I will look after the others." Torhrezz said with a bow, before walking back in the direction that we had come from.

I took a deep breath to steady my nerves, and then turned the knob.

"I must also inform all of you that they have definitely begun to start small fires. My brother and I, have already been contacted by Chazmen..." I heard a voice say, coming from the large TV on the wall.

"Yes... You all should absolutely be wary of the following people: Chazmen, Shaihffer, Shannon, Rahzden, Casteille, and most importantly, Ohr’Aizen." I said seriously, as I walked up to Ferdinand.

"Meyhymn! It’s so good to see you again!" Tristan said, smiling happily.

"Yes... I promised to always be there for you guys, whenever you needed me. Our government has been busy, and we have been far too complacent." I said sternly.

Everyone swallowed audibly, the tension in the room nearly doubled in an instant.

I slowly let a sly, and evil grin spread across my face. Everyone that could see it flinched immediately, the tension clearly growing, and hackles no doubt rising.

"But y’know... I’ve been busy as well." I chuckled darkly.

’I promised that I would shine the light... And I never go back on my word....’
