"But—that's impossible! She was just a child! Surely the our Clan could show some mercy, right?" Seth looked at his sister and gave her a sad, sympathetic smile. He knew Rose values the concept of family and children so much. Even though most of the time she's being a bitch, that was just her own way of getting attention from her father, to satisfy her wishful thinking that her father still cared for her. Ever since she was a child, she's been longing for the love and affection of her parents, her family. Unfortunately, it was not given to her.
"Rose, you do know that the White Wolf's Clan in the 20th century were too cruel right? Not that I am saying they're not any less cruel now. But, I hope you get what I mean."
"Right. That century was referred to as the Clockwork era. The authority was so corrupt during that time which made it literally a puppet for the corrupted officials. They became an animated clockwork doll for the official's wishes. They reigned and tainted the Authority for thirty years, until the anomaly was discovered and the people, the new generation of warrior arose and overthrew the former Authority." Simon voiced out his thoughts as he remembered some of the lectures they had when they were still in the Academy.
"Yes. Unfortunately, the fairy was one of the unlucky groups who became one of their victims. The Authority threatened them to destroy the entire village if they didn't heed to their desires. And they used the child as a warning, they killed all children. The family and all of the villagers were devastated."
"The whole village became enraged and thirsty for blood from the warrior. They became rebels against the authority. In honoring their fairy princess, they established the fairy group. They felt it was right to bring the child's fantasies into reality and use it in getting their revenge. They bear the symbol depicting a pair of wings with the blending letters of WW. It belongs to the Fair Clan group. That's the information I got from a reliable information broker."
"Are—are you really sure that this information is correct, Seth? I mean, you said so yourself, this incident happened sometime in the 20th century. We for sure doesn't know if that really happened. I mean, there's no concrete documents and evidence to be found to backup the information you got from the information broker."
"You have a point, Simon. But before you all decide to ignore this information, let me finish my findings first. Alright?" the four of them nodded as they let him continue and give them more information.
"As I mentioned, they rebelled against the authority. They fought against the our Clan for years. But one day, they just mysteriously disappeared.""Disappeared? Did all of them die? Or, maybe they were killed by some mysterious disease?" Team asked as he frowned in confusion. He felt like his head was hurting from all the information he's digesting. He felt like he was trapped in an infinite loop."No. They didn't die. In fact, no one knows if they're dead or not. The ones recorded in the Authority library is that, they just mysteriously vanished into thin air.""The Authority record?" All four of them repeated Seth statement, as if they couldn't believe what they were hearing with their ears."Yes. The authority record. Unfortunately, this incident with the Fairy Clan was not known by its original name. Their group was recorded as the Wild Hunt.""Thi—this
"And that's why I wanted you to be back by 4pm. Well, technically, it's past 4 pm now." The four of them nearly jumped as they were startled by Ash voice looming in. Ash muttered an apology as he and Seth reached out for some water which was placed on the table and drank it. Ash decided not to talk for a while as he let them digest all the information while calming the erratic beating of their hearts. It wasn't until a few minutes later that Team started speaking when they were remotely relaxed and ready to continue the discussion."Okay. So we finally . . . uhm, we finally figured out our current situation. Since you decided to take over the spotlight, I'm sure you've already formulated some strategies for our mission tonight, right?" Team said as he stared at his bestfriend and gave him a knowing look, which Ash returned by nodding. Their bestfriend bond was deep enough to know what the other was thinking and it enables them to communicate their thoughts mentally.
Ash knew Team was doing his best to keep his cool as they proceeded with the discussion about this mission. He hated it when he gets emotional in front of his teammates. Ash chose to let go and accept Team reply, not wanting his bestfriend to go through the emotional torture once again."This time, our main mission is to infiltrate the club, to know the truth behind the Fairy history. We are there to confirm if the information we got is indeed true, as well as their association with the Black Clan. And lastly, once we've confirmed everything, we need to interrogate them about the mystery note, as well as the Black Clan plans. Got it?" All of them nodded in understanding as they got the information of their mission for the night."But Ash, how do we infiltrate the club? If we're correct in our assumption that this is the Fary Clan, or the former Wild Hunt's den, then I think they will be prepared for any intrusion or attack from the author
"Tsk. We don't really have any choice, do we? But that's fine. I love being a badass, anyway. And I'll be badass enough to kick their asses and punch them so hard in the face they'll see stars." Team said as he crossed his arms over his chest and gave them a cocky smirk. All of them huffed in annoyance while Ash just rolled his eyes and ignored his bestfriend witty statement."Anyway, we needed to engrave the Fairy Clan symbol into one of our clothes, so I had Seth add some details to the sweaters we'll be wearing tonight. We will pretend that we're one of them who were in club last time. Well, technically we were there, but with a different identity. We will also tell them what happened in club, the person who were "captured" by the warri, and the mystery note of the Balck Clan.""Wait! I don't like that we need to share some sensitive information to our own enemy! We're the ones who tried hard and kicked our own asses just to solve the
"Alexander, I-I want Alexander to just stay here and guard the apartment." All of them widened their eyes and gasped in shock as they stared at him like he'd gone insane. Alexander, on the other hand, just raised his eyebrows questioning."Ash, do you really expect me to just stay here and do nothing when I came all the way here for you? While all of you, and especially you Ash, are out somewhere risking your life during a dangerous mission?""That's precisely why I cannot let you come with us on this mission, Alexander. It's because it's too dangerous. For one, you're a civilian. I know you've already done too much for this group, and we, no, I-will be forever grateful for that. But we cannot risk you anymore, please understand that as a warrior, it is our duty to keep you safe as much as possible. Plus, you're not really useless if you choose to stay here. You can guard this apartment, in case someone might get suspicious of
It took less than 5 minutes for them to get to the rumored and popular gay stripping club. The five of them walked down the streets until they stood in front of Grand Gentlemen's Club. Everytime they heard the name of the club, they couldn't help but tense up and a tight knot could be felt in the pit of their stomach. They felt rather awkward hearing that kind of name for a club as well.But that was not the only thing that was making them sweat like crazy and feel the erratic beating of their heart as they stood in front of the club's door.Unlike most of the clubs Rose and Team had known, this one was unbelievably quiet.They couldn't hear any noise coming from inside. Nor could they see any drunk, intoxicated and horny people coming to and from the club. They couldn't see the wonderful neon lights that flashed everywhere, bringing the party ambiance and color to the club.Instead, what they saw in
The first thing they noticed inside the club was that, the entire place was covered in darkness. They blinked to adjust their eyes from the change in environment and from then on they could see some candle lights placed in torch-like lamps on either side of the hallway. The walls were painted black, causing it to blend with the surroundings. Their shoes, especially Rose long stiletto heels were reverberating loudly in the emptiness as they walked through the hallway.All of them widened their eyes as they recognised the paintings that hung on either side of the wall. The paintings were full of faeries, fantasies, even fallen angels, and the war that happened between the archangels, with the lead of Michael overthrowing Lucifer. Basically, all of the paintings portrayed histories, folks, and tales about the faeries.At the end of the hallway was a heavy locked door and at the side there was a man sitting behind a desk, who Seth assumed was the recept
"A pleasure to meet you, Fey newbies. I will now be escorting you towards M. Robe. Welcome to the club." The man said as he bowed to them for some courtesy. Even though they were technically newbies, they were still guests in this club. Only then the group got a first glimpse of what the inside of the club looked like. Like a typical club, it was a total wreck. Bright and flashing neon lights were scattered everywhere. The dance floor was like an abused chess board. On its black and white squares were spilled drinks and broken glass. With the lights lit for clean up the whole scene that had most likely seemed so exciting and sexual only minutes before now had all the ambiance of a dirty toilet. The painted on smiles of the staff were now sagged into the epitome of exhaustion and no-one could wait for the night to end. But the clothes the of the night clubbers wore here were very different from typical ones. Their features and appearances made them look like fan
