C355: Portioned Dust

Taffy's strategy clicked they were able to win a lot of bidder but the unexpected part was Ain and Selah's assumption worked. The owmer of the torch holder willingly offered the said art piece in exchange of the crown sage. Taffy acted tough but luckily the mysterious owner in his hoodie claimed that he is the producer of such piece. Urchin laid his trance on the said artifact. Taffy acted like a good host and took what they were aiming for. Ole and Urchin trailed the said owner of the torch holder only to be in combat with the men in their bouncer appearance. Ole easily used he karate as Urchin used his skill to flattened the enemy. When the hoodie person noticed that Ole and Urchin won over the fight. It drove the car and speed out only to be paused on time. Urchin rushed toward the car seat and uncloacked the enemy's face but upon seeing who it was. Urchin froze, he weakened his trance and depressedly joined Ole. Taffy called his driver and had them drop by at their home.

Urchin did not say anything he entered his room and slammed the door shut.

Everyone looked at Ole who showed the face of someone who does not understand what was going on. Ain sighed and eyed Ole who held out the torch holder.

"Can you let us know when did ut started?" Fur asked.

"It's when we were done combating with the owner of Lapidoth. He unleashed his trance and halted the car. He checked on the culprit and suddenly withdrew. His face were crestfallen right after that." Ole explained.

Kahieli and Cherith were busy bestowing a covering and fixing Saga's eye glass that they did not notice how long it has been since they started. Kahieli make sure to attached his bulletproof screen over the half moon glasses. He was stratled when Nimrod came and announced a meet up. Kahieli clicked his tongue and swiftly put on a pair. Cherith suppored the eye glass with his feather to piss off Saga. They left the training hall and joined the others.

Urchin was called in by Ain.

"Who did you spot on?" Ain directly asked.

"It's mother. She was being controlled. She did not recognize me." Urchin confessed.

"Did you know why we retrieved this torch holder?" Ain followed up.

Urchin shook his head in disagreement. Ain handed the torch holder.

"It's Kiel's heart. It was ripped out by the opponent who is manipulating Lila." Ain said.

Everybody was shocked. Urchin had his eyes widened as he held the art piece.

"Sycamore even cried after seeing such event. Go and get some rest we know that every one is tired.

Fur was blankly staring at the wall he sketched a draft of Lila but he never expect to hear that the beautiful young lady is now a puppet with string. Fur saw how Urchin losed his composure and was in daze. He cannot believe that he was holding his father's solidified heart. It must have been painful for his mother to be unable to secure Kiel's heart. Urchin embraced the said torch holder and wept.

Ain sliced the space and went back with Ophir's base. Urchin looked down casted with them. Ophir knew that Ain already told them about Kiel but to hear that Lila has been the Lapidoth and was fighting against them it had Ophir reminded of how he met Lila. He was kidnapped and was mistaken as Kiel.

"I don't know how to express my desire to comfort you but as of now please allow us to mourn with you." Ophir advised.

Ain silently passed the eye glass towards Saga who is shy to put on the fancy and fashioned eye wear. Ain whispered that it was Cherith who put the feathers to tease him.

"His prank really surprised me most of the time." Saga thought.

Urchin just portrayed a forced smile. Ophir called Urchin by the falls and took him to where he had Ole played with her feet.

"I know it's hard but I believe that Kiel and Lila fought well." Ophir assured.

Urchin just nod his head. He grabbed the necklace that was resized by Ain.

"Yeah, i know but it still painful. That all I had is a mocked heart and stringed mother. I saw her eyes it was different. It conveyed hatred." Urchin confessed.

"I see. It might have been due to the enemy's effect on her. We will win her back alive." Ophir stated as he encouraged Urchin to smile.

"You really are Ole's father. You exactly said the same thing. I heared from Ain that Saga needs to be trained." Urchin diverted the topic.

"Yes. He can see you bare you know. His eyes can spot all the details." Ophir sighed.

"You seemed tired?" Urchin asked.

"No, I am worried that he might purposely use it on Ole." Ophir said to make Urchin laugh.

"If that happens then Ole will gauge out his eyes." Urchin giggled.

"Saga said the same thing." Ophir wrapped in.

Fur felt as if Lila will be able to realise her true identity. The painter wanted to move on his own and persuade Lila but Ain firmly stated that it's not Lila at the moment. Fur stared at his faint sketch of her beauty and said.

"How I wish we can have you join us here."

Fur brushed off how he truly felt. He can now have his chance. Kiel is no longer alive but Fur hated himself for secretly desiring such thing. He burned the sketch and decided to live his own life despite even if Kiel is no longer alive. He exist within Lila that Fur can never ever replace.

Saga praised Kahieli's gift that helped him get his normal vision. Urchin waved at Saga who offered his condolences not long ago he was the one on that spot. Urchin may looked brave but he know that Urchin went through the storm with the old tale bearers. He saw how death was. He losed a lot of people and was forced to live a life that is not for him to live out.
