CHAPTER 40

Everyone was shocked and began looking at Quinn now

Darcy: Mom and dad and also Quinn listen...I don't love you

Quinn: Are you serious? Do you know what are you talking?

Darcy: Just because your dad saved my family that doesn't mean you can win love with power

Alina: Why didn't you tell us before then?

Darcy: I couldn't speak out when I saw everyone so happy

Quelin: So just used my son as a mode of leisure

Gyulus: Bouz, do your work

The Griffins slowly begin to surround both of them.

Bouz: Put on the handcuffs on everyone and bring the princess to me.

The king, queen and other guests were arrested. The Generals were made to lay with the staff.

Bouz: Now Empephus to be dealt

Genesis: I'm connected to the electrical network in the castle

Empephus: Switch off every light in the hallway and this room

Genesis: Just few seconds and...

Bouz was about to take the princess..

Empephus: Now do it now!!

The electricity of the castle was turned off. Many scared started to scream and the Griffins started to roar.

Bouz: Why did the electricity suddenly go off?

Gyulus: Empephus!! who else is with you?

Empephus: Gyulus...you can't just interfere in someone's life like this

Genesis: I may not be able to be in link but I can do something useful meanwhile

Empephus: What?

Genesis: Take me near your eyes. Just inducing your rods for better night vision

Empephus: It's more than enough for me

Darcy: With whom are you talking?

Empephus: Come with me. I will tell you later when we reach safety...

Empephus holds Darcy's hand and takes her away.

Darcy: Where are you taking me?

Empephus: Believe me..

Empephus slowly and quietly takes her to the exit. The electricity keeps fluctuating and Desis sees them escaping.

Desis: Brother, they are escaping. Over there

Bouz: Follow them...catch them.

Now Empephus rushes and the soldiers follow him but couldn't keep a track on him periodically due to the darkness. He cleverly escaped the guards in the hallway and reached his lab.

Darcy: Why did you bring me here?

Empephus: To protect you

Darcy: It's all my fault. We both will die. There's nothing to be done

Empephus: Not until, I'm alive

Genesis becomes visible to them

Darcy: Ahhh!!

Empephus(keeps his hand on her mouth): Don't shout...shh

Darcy: What is that on your wrist?

Empephus: He is my friend. He won't let us die

Genesis: Nice to meet you

Darcy: It talks..

Empephus: Yes...Genesis shut down everything

All the windows and doors were tightly sealed

Genesis: Additional safety.

Darcy: Oh wow. Why didn't you tell me about it before?

Empephus: Just found it today afternoon

Darcy: So this is what you were doing

Empephus takes her to the secret door way

Darcy: Where does it go?

Empephus: My 2nd lab

Darcy: A secret passage?

Empephus: Yes and it's the right time to use it

Darcy(holds him by his collar): What have you been hiding here?

Empephus: I made it in case of need

Darcy: I think you the one working with Gyulus

Empephus: Darcy! no

Darcy: You have so many untold stories

Empephus: It's not a right place to talk

Darcy: No just say everything, right here

Empephus: Enter and then I will tell you everything

They go down and enter Empephus's underground lab

Darcy: It's dark here

Empephus: Yes..for the good

Darcy finds the place totally devastated

Darcy: So your lab is...

Empephus: It's a long story

Genesis: Your armour is ready. Just release me so that I can build conscience and connection with it and you will be able to transform

It gets detached from his wrist and lands on the armour

Genesis: I've lost connection to the circuit now

Empephus: Doesn't matter anymore

At the castle, the current is back

Bouz: Saw...your daughter loves Empephus

Desis: I will take care of them

Bouz: Guards...search the lovers

Everyone is being taken to the prison. At the prison...

Desis: Before he do put them inside, we need to release the existing ones

Gyulus(roars): Just bring me that Empephus now

Desis: But sir?

Gyulus(calms): Done...release them first

The Griffins flew around the castle and got hold of the people around them. Gyulus's members rob down the public property and attack their homes.

Gyulus: Did you find him?

Bouz: I've searched everywhere but he is not here

Gyulus: How did he manage to escape?

Desis: The electricity exactly went of while they disappeared

Bouz: Gyulus, Empephus's lab looks completely closed

Gyulus: Search there...

Darcy: What is this metal?

Empephus: This metal is going to save us from them

Darcy: So did you build this for fighting?

Empephus: No..this was meant for saving people but now to kill them all

Darcy looks scared

Darcy: Listen I don't want you to do anything which would make you suffer for the rest of your life

Empephus: What was my mistake that I'm running away from people?

Darcy: Promise me...that you won't kill anyone

Empephus(hugs her): I won't kill
