Manifest: The story

Chapter 28: The weeding [Adumfor Arc I]

Isabella and Xiang Ye looked at the Marriage officiant and then to the people watching and back to themself as they open their mouths.

Isabella and Xiang Ye: Yes, we are.

Marriage officiant takes a deep breath again.

Marriage officiant: Then you may kiss each other, from now on you are husband and wife, king and queen of Adumfor and you will lead this and the next generation of demons through the harsh times of this world.

Isabella and Xiang Ye proceeded to kiss as the crowd of people cheered and respected this very moment of now Queen Isabella Thorns and King Xiang Ye, George Thorns even shred a tear and Sila Silver just looked casually at it like a normal weeding.

Through the guests a girl named Issy and her partner were just standing up with the rest of the crowd watching how the next 20 minutes go as everyone starts feasting and of course celebrating while they just watch.

Issy: She is here too, Anderson.

???: So Anderson, Ivanov, Kanomato, Vans, Nikolov... All in 1 place?

Issy: Of course they all here, even the parents of Ivanov and Vans, isn't that great? You can finally test your ability on them right here and now and nobody will suspect it's us.

??? takes a deep breath.

???: Even as much as it sounds perfect, the limit of my manifestation will run out before I can even land a backstab on all of them, I can probably only take out the parents of Ivanov, the parents of the vans and Vladislav Nikolov. Even after I take them out, that wouldn't make difference since that chick Elaina is gonna be alive and react to it quick enough to catch me as the causer or even worse... Ivanov to appear right infront of me blocking my escape with his sense reaction and timing.

??? looks at Mina Anderson.

???: Mina on the other hand can turn invisible, giving her complete advantage in such crowded area full of people that she can track us, but again it is disadvantage for her cause we can blend in with the crowd and hide our smell and maybe make sure Ivanov doesn't sense us as fast as he can or teleport to us.

Issy looked around.

???: On top of that, you are forgetting the last time ya fought Ivanov ya got pinned down and publicly humilated by him, I'm sure you didn't enjoy being naked infront of thousands of teenagers in the square of Plovdiv?

Issy after that looked down shaking a little.

Issy: Of course I didn't. It sucked on top of that I somehow managed to get away like this, luckly he left my clothes behind a bush... Guess he wasn't that type of boy take them away completely and leave me out of the cold.

???: Kind hearted, not really his thing... Guess he was feelin merciful for some reason.

Issy and ??? looked at each other.

Issy: But what about Iskra, we have her in our grasp and what are we gonna do with her after she becomes useless to our cause?

??? smiles.

???: We'll just let her react to how she killed the one thing she cared about, remember if Vlad dies now infront of her, something she doesn't want. It will be painful enough for her after we complete our goals that she will not try, a sign of true power will scare her off.

Issy was impressed, expecting just to brutally murder Iskra, not cause her extra emotional and mental pain that she cannot handle.

???: But now let us blend in with the crowd and enjoy a party.

Hours after the weeding, Mina was in the forest near a lake...

Mina: I was surpsied that they were not allowed to arrest me in place, the parents of the Vans sure were threating the moment the weeding celebration is over that I will be handed to the law once again... Well I cannot let that happen.

Mina looked at the fish that swims around the lake.

Mina: Mainly now, my connection with X is still kept a secret away from anyone else... However, if they find out, I will be caught and my sister will be right there to claim some credit.

The noise of someone moving through the bushes was heard as Mina prepared, the person who was sneaking through the bushes comes out revealing it was...

???: Been a long time, friend.

Mina: Iskra, who you callin friend?

Iskra chuckles.

Iskra: Of course you, you are the key to help me capture Vlad and bring him back to his senses. On top of that I can help you with your family problem, well me and a friend of mine of course.

Mina backs a bit, stopping at the lake's edge.

Mina: And what do I have to gain from this after my problem is gone?

Iskra: Be grateful that your problem will stop and be gone!

Mina: Yeah...

Mina grins.

Mina: No thanks, I rather not waste my time with a chick that kidnaps her siblings all for the goal to be loved by her parents and "gang" of sorts. Now leave me alone, bitch.

Iskra turned around, she didn't seem happy.

Iskra: Well your choice, don't run back to me when ya reconsidered to work with me.

Iskra walked awawy leaving Mina alone again in the lake area... Mina was looking around for a minute or two to find if there was anyone else, however after that... She just goes back to her spot and sits down thinking about something.
