A Rude Awakening.

After Althea asked that an awkward silence once again covered the room. She didn't know why she didn't answer him right away but maybe he had forgotten. "He couldn't have right? I had specifically reminded him every time I visited in the past to not slack off or else he would be a dead man." She hadn't visited for over 10 years but that still wasn't long enough for someone to forget. But just in case she spoke up again with less patience this time around.

"You do know why I'm here right?"

"Why you're here? Isn't it just a daily visit."

Trying to play it off and hope to escape from the situation Keltal panicked. He thought his excuse would have worked before but now that he was standing in front of Althea once again he thought it was hopeless so instead he grabbed at straws for now in hopes that maybe a miracle would happen. But that was simply wishful thinking. Meanwhile Yilel who was still currently outside and listening to their

conversation had been confused from start to finish as she listened in. However one thing was clear. "The woman he's talking to is clearly his superior in some way. But who?" Shuffling a little bit to get closer to hear better she accidently kicked a small rock in her way and made a small sound.

Dread ran through her body as she stopped moving and completely held her breath attempting to conceal herself as much as possible. If she was found it was most likely over. But even after a couple of seconds nothing had happened. With no signs of them noticing her she slowly exhaled. "Is she weaker than I thought or maybe less perceptive?" That was the only reason she could think of why she didn't get found just then but whatever the reason for it she was grateful.

Little did she know that Althea from the very beginning noticed her presence outside and from start to finish left her and the other alone. It was a form of entertainment to see them try so hard to avoid being found out while she watched on as they ignorantly thought she didn't notice. Another reason as well though was that she was slightly impressed by the level of strength the girl showed and it piqued her curiosity a bit but right now she had more important business to take care of in front of her.

"No you idiot. Of course that's not why I'm here. Do I look like I want to spend any extra time with you then I have to? What I want is the boy, keltie. Where is he?"

She had already scanned the entire Clan but she hadn't seen signs of his aura or anything else familiar. If she did she probably wouldn't have even showed up in this scums face if possible.

"Ahaha. I see, so you're looking for a boy. Which one would that be? there are plenty in the clan so I might be a little muddleheaded trying to recall who you want."

"Oh? Is that so? I think I'm a little muddle headed myself as well. It'd be a shame if I accidentally let my finger slip as well.

Hearing that sentence and seeing her growing Astral Energy Keltal knew he couldn't play any more games and quickly panicked.

"Wait, wait. I think I know who you're talking about. Just settle down."

"..."

With that Keltal was stuck in a corner. He could try and lie his way out of it again but he decided to just tell the truth instead. If she found out he was lying he would receive worse consequences but if he told the truth maybe he might get some lenience. Either way Althea was going to be upset. "All that time spent worrying. Just for it to still happen. Haa...."

"If you're talking about the white haired boy you sent me years ago. Then he's no longer in the clan."

*Whoosh*

With that Althea's rage soared as her Astral Energy erupted and travelled over a hundred miles across the country. Everyone and everything in that radius felt a huge raging pressure full of insanity fall down on their bodies. Animals quickly woke up and shivered all over while everyone that was asleep also instantly woke up feeling suffocated and unable to move. Unfortunately the weaker people that were too late even ended up dying from the pressure alone along with other wild animals. Feeling the rage and insanity in that aura people could barely think straight anymore. Some of the weaker people and even the powerhouses that were starting to protect others were slowly losing a hold of themselves as they all shivered in fear and hoped it would be over soon.

Being at the brunt of that anger Keltal and their town was affected the most but thankfully none died in the area due to all the hidden defensive Astral Tools that activated sensing danger and protected everyone. But that didn't mean some didn't start losing their minds feeling all that anger and insanity wash over and coat their minds pure black. If it didn't stop soon there would probably thousands of people going mad in the next hour running around everywhere doing whatever they wanted in their blind rage. Keltal slowly regained his self thankfully because he had been used to similiar aura's in the past and his strength well sealed was still relatively strong. But even he had never seen Althea so angry before. He knew now that whatever was going to happen was going to be a living nightmare.

"Care to explain yourself?"

A Devilish voice that was no longer the same seductive voice entered his ears as he stared at the rage filled Althea who no longer looked the same in his eyes as before. Shivering he opened his mouth to speak but before he could he was thrown against the wall and coughed up a massive amount of blood. Althea threw him across the room and stomped on his chest as he slumped up against the wall. In that same dark voice as before millions of thoughts flowed through her head of what to do with all her anger until one thought entered her mind that made her smile.

"Forget it. Bring all your Clan Officials here this instant."

Scared at what she was planning he stuttered to speak.

"Bu-"

"I wasn't. Asking. A question. NOW!"

With that she tossed him outside his office busting the door as she sat back on her chair and waited.
