Neatherrealm [Prologue]

[Volume 5: Netherrealm]

[Zero's POV]

"You guys came earlier than I thought. Aren't you, like, really, really busy or something?" I asked with a bit of surprised expression before I looked at that white-haired old man, observing me with a serious expression as he speaks,

"Miss Merlin asked me to come take you there."

Hearing his words, I ended up thinking a bit deeply about it. It has been just yesterday that I learnt about the Parasites coming earlier than when they are supposed to.

'I have a lot of work here… but still my direct involvement isn't required until a few months when the tournament begins,' I thought before I recalculated things which I was supposed to do in this month.

"Well… I would go but… keeping my safety in check, I would like to take a few people with me," I spoke as I observed Williamson Rose, grandfather of Elizabeth and Annabeth as he pondered about it before speaking.
