Silverblood || Blessed or Cursed?

Chapter 25

"Sorry for keeping you guys here for so long, come in."

We followed her into the mysterious room. I looked around, half surprised to see the place. I expected some sort of dungeon type with torture devices but this.

To sum it all up, it looked like a Wizard's workshop.

"So we 'are' at some sort of cult workshop," Ramon replied.

"That's what I said!" I replied.

"Right!?" He said looking at me with an enthusiastic grin.

I felt Lana facepalm next to me.

Yup, we were definitely siblings.

"We're at my workshop of sorts. I don't know what to call it," Agni said as she closed the door behind her.

I looked at Arav who was concentrating a steely glare at Isha who didn't back down, rolling her eyes and sending back her own cold look of annoyance. Siblings rivalry?

"Before we continue... how are you feeling?" Agni addressed me.

"I'm feeling okay, surprisingly it's healed quite a lot during the last twenty four hours," I said, referring to the stab wound that Agni had taken a look earlier.

"Great!" she replied, pulling up a map, laying it out on the table.

"Okay, So as a final destination you all will next have to travel here," Agni replied pointing to a place in the world map.

I squinted a little, trying to identify what she was pointing at under the dim lighting of the room.

"Oh my goodness! We're going to Italy!?" Lana asked, glancing up at us expectantly, nearly squealing in excitement.

"I've always wanted to go there! That place is Amazing!!"

"And dangerous," Ramon replied, a grim expression settling onto his face.

"You never know what you could face, that is the literal birthplace of the hunters! People that are out to kill you," Ramon's voice grew somber the more he spoke.

I looked at Arav who had a gloomy expression on his face.

"I am aware of that. But it has to happen where it started two thousand years ago. Those were the instructions given."

"If you're careful enough you will be able to evade the hunters. Maybe we could create a disguise," Agni suggested.

"That is highly unlikely. They keep the best of the best in Italy. Excellent fighters. Excellent trackers. They especially guard the ruins. They guard the ruins of the house day and night." Arav retorted.

"Even if we were able to get in, it's still too dangerous. The hunters will be the least of her worries," Ramon gestured to me.

"Hello, I'm here, not invisible. If I haven't been clear earlier, I make decisions for myself. What's going on? Can anyone fill us in?" I asked, gesturing to Lana and I.

Ramon exhaled, focusing on the two of us, arms crossed.

"The next and final place we have to visit is Italy. It's dangerous enough with just the hunters. The ruins of the...house... in which our family lived two thousand years ago. It still exist, obscured from tourists, locals and archeologists but it's still there. The location of the ruins are well guarded secrets, the hunters are around the place all the time. The ruins, they have a tie to our souls. Yours and mine, y'know, cause we lived there. A few years ago I was lucky enough to stumble across the place and find the ruins. They gave me back my memories, everything that happened all those millennia ago-"
