{Hero}: *exhausted* Hi guys~

 

{Angilina, Clara, Ethan}: Hero!?

 

{Ethan}: Buddy What are you doing out of school at this hour- *gets smacked on the head by a Petry dish by Clara* Hey! What was that for!?

 

{Clara}: Didn't you hear the boss this morning idiot!? Hero got in an accident, and he won't be going to school or working for a few days!

 

{Ethan}: Wait really? I thought she said we won't work until Hero comes or something.

 

{Sophie}: Well, well, well. Isn't our special V.I.P of the week, Hero O Kael. To what honour do I owe-

 

{Lily}: Hey second boss lady! How are you doing today.

 

{Sophie}: … *smiles* Doing well, did your brother bring you here today or did he find you here this time?

 

{Lily}: We walked here today.

 

{Sophie}: Is that so. Can I talk to your brother real quick?

 

{Lily}: Why?

 

{Sophie}: Business related and about tax-

 

{Lily}: *lost interest* You guys can go, not interested into your taxes stuff.

 

{Ethan}: I have a feeling your future will be filled with IRS, chasing after you for taxes young lad.

 

{Lily}: They can try! *Hahahaahahaaaha!

 

MANAGERS OFFICE

 

{Sophie}: So, Hero. How do you feel?

 

{Hero}: Like I've been hit by a Truck and a train at the same time. Other from that am good, why you asking?

 

{Sophie}: Your little pink friend briefly told me what happened to you yesterday. Sorry, friend.

 

{Hero}: Well, as they say when you feel down, drink some lime-

 

{Sophie}: Nobody says that Hero. When do I expect you to return to work?

 

{Hero}: Umm, Let's see. Today's Thursday so that means I should be back by… … … Sunday!

 

{Sophie}: !? Y- You sure about that Hero? You need some rest.

 

{Hero}: Nah! I'll be fine. You guys worry too much.

 

{Sophie}: *sigh* If your fine with that, then am fine with that. So, when are you and your sister leaving?

 

{Hero}: Until Connor arrives.

 

{Sophie}: Okay boss man, just keep your sister… maintained

 

{Hero}: Will do- *glass break*… … …I'll attend to that.

 

Time: 16:39

 

{Hero}: *exhausted* Time sure does takes its time.

 

{Lily}: Opa, Opa- Conner! *Runs towards the door*

 

{Connor}: *opens the door* Hey little Einstein, how are you doing today?

 

{Lily}: I'm good! *gasp* barbie!

 

{Hazel}: Umm- hi umm-

 

{Lily}: Its Lily, L-i-l-l-y-

 

{Hero}: No- its L-i-l-y.

 

{Lily}: Why the hell is my name spelt like that out of 3 different-

 

{Hero}: There's 6 in record. L-I-l-y, L-I-l-l-y,L-I-l-I-e,L-I-l-I,L-I-l-l-I-e and L-I-l-l-e-y. But mom decided that L-I-l-y would be better because its common. Sup Hazel.

 

{Hazel}: H- hey.

 

{Angilina}: 1 Black coffee with toast for the regular and one Kaelion style Croson for the new one.

 

{Hazel}: Oh- thanks but I didn't bring any money with me today-

 

{Sophie}: Don't worry kid. It's on the house.

 

{Hazel}: … Thanks.

 

{Sophie}: It's the least I can do for saving the head chef.

 

{Conner}: Trust me when I say this, but Hero is the pinnacle of top God like cooking skills, he's to good for this world I tell ya.

 

{Ethan}: You could say his from another world.

 

{Hazel}: That's good to hear.

 

{Connor}: Oh, and Ken. *Removes USB* The homework.

 

{Hero}: Thanks buddy. Now then, let's eat.

 

TIME: 16:56

 

{Hero}: Well, it's time to leave. Lily is getting tired- and she's already asleep. See you guys on Sunday. *Carries Lily and exits café*

 

{Everyone}: Bye Hero.

 

{Hero}: Time to go back home… Wish you were here big bro.

 

{???}: Hey wait up!

 

{Hero}: Huh? Hazel?

 

{Hazel}: Can you please come with me. Please, it's about yesterday.

 

{Hero}: … … … Don't worry about it. I'm not mad or anything. I was one of the unfortune souls who-

 

{Mai}: It's about the vampire you killed yesterday, Master Hero.

 

{Hero}: ? What do you mean? Hazel is the one who killed it-

 

{Hazel}: That's why I need you to come with me Hero.

 

{Hazel}: … … … Fine. I'll come along. Just don't make the meeting to long.

 

{Mai}: Will do Master Hero. *Knocks him out*

 

{Hazel}: Mai! What the hell!? I told you we didn't need to resolve this in any sort of violence.

 

{Mai}: But it was quicker and more efficient Master Hazel.

 

{Hazel}: … … … *sigh* Fine. Let's go and bring him along and his sister.

 

{Mai}: Will do Master Hazel.

 

TIME: 20:07

LOCATION: Northwest facility of the Aether Watch Foundation

 

{Hero}: *mummers* No thank you kind sir- I'm goo- *wakes up* Wha- where am I? *Looks around* like seriously, where am I. *Gets out of bed and wonder outside bedroom* Isn't this place a bit… flashy? 

 

{Mai}: I can agree with you on that.

 

{Hero}: Ahh! Wha- how- what are you doing here, in fact what am I doing here?

 

{Mai}: You're in the northwest facility of the-

 

{Hero}: Where's my sister!?

 

{Mai}: She's in-

 

{Hero}: Why did you kidnap me?

 

{Mai}: Well, that was a-

 

{Hero}: Why am I-

 

{Mai}: *pissed* If you interrupt me one more am not going to be responsible to what happens you next… got it.

 

{Hero}: *scared* Yes ma'am.

 

{Mai}: Good to hear. *smiles* Your sister is in room 001 but-

 

{Hero}: Thanks for the help *runs around the facility*

 

{Mai}: I'll get the first aid.

 

20 minutes of wondering around

 

{Hero}: Can't believe it took me this long to find this room when its right next to mine. I should have paid attention to that lady. *Automatic door opens* Hey Lilly are you still-…

 

{Hazel}: *towel covering her lower part and hair covering top part*… … … Ehhhh! *Throws a club chair towards Hero*… … …! Oh my gosh Im so sorry I didn't mean to- I mean I did but it wasn't intentionally I swear!

 

{Mai}: *walks in* I see master Hero had already been injured.

 

{Hero}: I should have stayed and listen.

 

{Mai}: *attends to Hero* Master Hazel. Can you please get Miss Lilly, and you dressed up.

 

{Hazel}: Y- yes of course. Let's go Lilly. *Goes to the bathroom*

 

{Hero}: So, when are we going back home.

 

{Mai}: Parden?

 

{Hero}: Me and Lilly. When are we going back home before it gets dark.

 

{Mai}: … You're not.

 

{Hero}: What do you mean by that?

 

{Mai}: What I could tell from my test result, you hold… some particular genetics which enables you to have both human and one of a high-class vampire, possibly higher than the leader of the Aether Watch Foundation.

 

{Hero}: Really! No way… Who is he?

 

{Mai}: *laughs* Oh Master Hero. That information is one am not allowed to tell you. That info is redacted.

 

{Hero}: Oh… Well, ok. But-

 

{Mai}: And done patching you.

 

{Hero}: Thanks. So, what now?

 

{Hazel}: *gets out from bathroom* Both of you are going to stay with us. And don't worry about that, we got you stuff already packed in your rooms just as the way you left them.

 

{Hero}: Wait really!? I haven't noticed.

 

{Hazel}: Yeah, it's kinda- wait what- is this what you where-

 

{Lilly}: So, we're going to stay here! Yay!

 

{Hero}: Wait wha- does it means Im going to work!?

 

{Mai}: Yes.

 

{Hazel}: But no!

 

{Hero}: Make up your mind!

 

{Mai}: You won't be working in terms of house control or errands, but you will be in the same position as Master Hazel.

 

{Lilly}: So big brother is going to be a-

 

{Hero}: Not happening! I already have a job. I don't need another that doesn't

 

{Hazel}: It's a high paying job!

 

{Hero}: That doesn't allow me to sleep. Besides its not like am going to sign-

 

{Hazel}: I already did the paperwork. Y- you're in my squad now.

 

{Hero}: *mentality shatters* … … … Why did you- who- *gets knocked out*

 

{Mai}: I should take him to his room. He still needs to recover. *Knocks Hero out and passed out* Out we go *leaves room*

 

{Hazel}: *sigh* I kinda feel bad for him. Do you think he's going to-

 

{Lilly}: Don't know. Are you too going to date my brother?

 

{Hazel}: … … … Yeah, your right, I should talk to him tomorrow morning- wait what!?-

 

TIME: SARTADAY 07:26

LOCATION: Northwest facility of the Aether Watch Foundation

 

{Hero}: *wakes up* Mmmmmm, why does the room look so diff- ohh… oh, oh. I got to- never mind. *goes back to bed* Gotta rest up before I go to work tomorrow- *phone rings* … … … *picks up phone* Hello?

 

{Conner}: Yelo! How have you been?

 

{Hero}: Ummmm *tries to remember last night events* Good, I guess.

 

{Conner}: Good. Because someone robbed you whole house and there's nothing left besides your old hidden sock you got from your brother.

 

{Hero}: What do you mean? Im in my room- oh yeah, she moved us.

 

{Conner}: Who? What moved you?

 

{Hero}: Oh- Hazel took me into her… squad? And now Im being forced to join them or something.

 

{Conner}: That's kinda cool, in its own way. Have you tried to talk to her?

 

{Hero}: I was about to do something, but I was knocked out, twice.

 

{Conner}: That's rough, wait how's your head?

 

{Hero}: Head? Yeah, why?

 

{Connor}: Brain damage stuff like that.

 

{Hero}: That's not how it works-

 

{Hazel's voice}: Umm, Hello? Are you awake?

 

{Hero}: I'll be back *puts down phone*. Yes, yes, I am.

 

{Hazel}: *gets in* Hey there. You still mad at me for yesterday?

 

{Hero}: Depends, you need something?

 

{Hazel}: Well- Mai requires both of us in the training room… so we need-

 

{Hero}: Alright Conner I'll call you later, I got to go for some training *ends call. * So when are we starting.

 

{Hazel}: … Aren't you getting dressed up-

 

{Hero}: I got knocked and put in bed with my cloths on, the same one I was wearing when I arrived. So am pretty sure am good for now.

 

{Hazel}: O- oh, sorry for asking. Let's go.

 

7 MINUTES LATER

LOCATION: TRAINING ROOM

 

{Hazel}: I brought in Hero!

 

{Hero}: Again, why are here again, am not-

 

{Mai}: Since you're the first of your kind to maintain both blood sucker and prima-… humanity balanced its most likely you and your sister are going to be a target from the other side. And other factions of the district gaining you and use you for experiments to enhance… what they do in those. So, we need to train you to hold you own ground at least. Since you got Master Hazel's blood in you so this training session will be fast.

 

{Hero}: Okay first of all, stop saying that her blood in inside me, and second of all… … … yeah, I got nothing.

 

{Hazel}: I agree with that, it gives me the crips when you say that… *realise what she said* No wait! That's not what I meant! What I meant was I just.

 

{Hero}: Save it. What's the training excesses so I can get this over with.

 

{Mai}: Alright! Master Hazel, you do your usual weightlifting and you Master Hero are going to start with agility. You're going to do a 3-hour run.

 

{Hero}: *shocked* Umm okay I can do that-

 

{Mai}: With this 30kg weight on your chest and legs. And if your speed is below 20km after the first mmm let's say 45 minutes, I'll have to increase the weights by 8.

 

{Hero}: But that's-s-s… actually fine. I guess.

 

{Hazel}: Not to be rude or anything but are you insane!? You're going to hurt yourself?!

 

{Hero}: Nah huh. Am going to be fine.

 

{Hazel}: *annoyed* D- don't you dare nah huh me! having a total of 90kg and going higher than 20 km is impossible for anyone, even for you. Please try to consider this-

 

{Hero}: Wana bet?

 

{Hazel}: No, am not going to bet any-

 

{Hero}: $360 on the line.

 

{Hazel}: Deal! Easy money!

 

{Mai}: That's the spirit. Now your training starts-

 

TIME: 07:33

LOCATION: UNKOWN

 

{???}: Now! Tell me what happened 2 nights ago Robot!?

 

{Rob}: Well sir Mr Alaric was unfortunately killed… my lord.

 

{???}: But how did he die? I gave him an artifact that will make him immortal for 30 minutes which is long enough to finish a battle-

 

{Rob}: He lost the item-

 

{???}: He what! How could he- *takes a deep breath* anyways, who killed my least favourite worker?

 

{Rob}: The readings show that the Galehart killed him.

 

{???}: Of Corse she is. Can't blame you for not-

 

{Rob}: But the video showed that one of the Kael who killed him- *hears glass breaks*

 

{???}: Who exactly!?

 

{Rob}: *scared* T- the- the one with black hair and has stylish glasses?

 

{???}: … … … *starts laughing manacling* Him!? Hahaaaa! I thought it will be the other one! Oh, this gets better and better-… *laughs deeply* Oh Robot, my sweet clone servant. *Manifest tentacle and stabs Robot* If my memory serves correct after spending a few years in this organisation but we can only be killed by those from The Aether Watch has one of the mythical legendary weapons which are a myth can kill us, am I right?

 

{Rob}: *hanging on life* Yes s- ai- yer.

 

{???}: Then how did one of them successfully kill a- lower blood immortal {}. That's impossible for any human without any special training to pull off. Tell me Robot, TELL ME!?

 

{Rob}: I- I don't know sir that's what the readings and the CCTV camaras show sir. Maybe its related to what Mr Alaric's work and studies and maybe he was-

 

{???}: His work you say… you mentioned that the Galehart Bloodline was picked up from his death report, am Iright?

 

{Rob}: Y- e- s.

 

{???}: … *grim smile* Interesting. Very interesting indeed… Damn it I already forgotten his name. The dead one. Do you have records of his research? *Lets him go*

 

{Rob}: *coughs out blood* No sir. He never had a follow up what to do list of his research after failing on his 437th time. And after that he went rouge.

 

{???}: Oh well, time to do some random bullcrap. What was his work based on?

 

{Rob}: I- I believe it was something to do with genetic mutations sir.

 

{???}: … … … That useless son of a- *interrupted by a call* …*sigh* Keep an eye on my siblings. I don't want all 3 of them interrupting my plans. *Walks away*

 

{Rob}: Of course, Upper Blood 21

 

Lord Alestriel!

 

TIME: 11:28

LOCATION: Northwest facility of the Aether Watch Foundation

 

{Hero}: *out of breath* Pay up red.

 

{Hazel}: My pay day isn't due until 3 weeks from now.

 

{Hero}: Why am I not surprised at this moment. *Slowly gets up* I'll be on my way to collect something from Connor.

 

{Hazel}: You're really leaving so soon?

 

{Hero}: Yeah. Why not? I can still leave the building, right?

 

{Hazel}: I mean- Yes- but I need to-

 

{Hero}: Need to what?

 

{Hazel}: I- ah- umm. I want to apologise to you for the way I've treated you ever since yesterday.

 

{Hero}: *confused* What the hell are you talking about?

 

{Hazel}: Me hitting you with a chair and what I said about Mai when she said-

 

{Hero}: Yeah, I really don't care about those things to be honest.

 

{Hazel}: … B- but-

 

{Hero}: Besides, it's not your fault as well. You had to do what your battle instincts tells you to do.

 

{Hazel}: What? Why are you so calm about this?

 

{Hero}: … Don't know. Am just like this. *Walks away*

 

{Hazel}: … … … Wha? Wait can I come with you?

 

{Hero}: Sure. No problem

 

{Hazel}: Soo, do you have any other family member other than Lilly.

 

{Hero}: Well… i used to have both my parents but died. Benjimin and Hakuro Kael. And I had an older brother… Lilly normally calls him Alestor while trying to say Alen. She was 3 by that time.

 

{Hazel}: O- oh… am sorry for asking.

 

{Hero}: No. it's okay. Me and Lilly already moved on, since we barely knew our parents. Alen was the one taking care of us and… … … *starts to tear up* and now his gone…

 

{Hazel}: ! Umm- hey it's okay, we- we'll find him one day. If no one found his body that means that theres a high chance for him to be alive, right?

 

{Hero}: … … … Yeah… but am starting to doubt that.

 

{Hazel}: … Well. I wasn't kind a lucky like you as well. Since my family is well known and the 2nd strongest in the organisation, they expect me to be the same… although I awakened my abilities at a young age and being the first in history they had high expectations… but- I didn't meet those expectations. So, they sent me here and yeah. That's my history. I also don't know my parents that well so you could say that I also didn't have it well- but its not as bad as yours.

 

{Hero}: No. you had it worse. You parents just see you as a tool and fame. Those type of people makes me sick. When I see them, I'll make sure they get a piece of my mind, kay.

 

{Hazel}: … *smiles* Okay. Never knew we'll get along so well by shearing our family life trammer.

 

{Hero}: Yeah- lets agree we will never speak of this again?

 

{Hazel}: *smirk's* Speak of what?

 

{Hero}: Good girl.

 

{Hezel}: By the way what do want from Conner? Am sure we took everything from the house.

 

{Hero} How did you know its something from the house?

 

{Hazel}: Simple I just-… … … Actually, I don't know. Maybe it's because we both have the same blood and somehow connected telepathy.

 

{Hero}: Is that so. *Suspicious grim* Now I know what I want to learn first before my blood ability.

 

{Hazel}: Wait how do you know about the-

 

{Hero}: Mai told me about it while I was training, and she thinks I might have a higher chance to awaken a unique one by first training my stamina and strength. I might get something… good? Not sure.

 

{Hazel}: Okay- but what are we getting from Connor before we get side tracked again.

 

{Hero}: You'll see. You'll see soon enough. But it's something my brother left before he went missing. It's something I keep close to me. to the point

 

{Hazel}: How did- am pretty sure we took everything.

 

{Hero}: Sure, you did Haze, sure you did.
