Jester meets Demon

The busy streets of Necron City were illuminated by the bold sun. Tall buildings, colourful stores, elegantly designed cafes and other establishments lined the streetside, the noise of vehicles, steps and chatter filled the place. Within all that crowd a man with face paint was walking. The strange thing however wasn't his face paint but that no one noticed him at all, it was like he wasn't even there. 

Eliot, who was walking through the streets of Necron City, turned towards an alley and walked inside. He walked for a dozen steps and then stopped as he called out.

"You should reveal yourself now." Eliot said, his tone annoyed.

A few moments passed and nothing happened.

'He has been following me since the time I left the Starborne Emporium.' Eliot thought as he tried to guess who it could be and he had a slight guess about that.

"Ah… Come on. I know you are following me, demon." Eliot said as he turned around and there he saw an one horn masked figure seemingly male with grey eyes, his body covered in black and a hood draped over his head. Harmes seemingly appeared out of nowhere without any noise like wind.

"It is a pleasure to meet The jester and The head of the wandering nova team, Eliot Rankin." Harmes said, his voice calm.

"Yours truly." Eliot replied with a small smile on his face.

"I wonder, what are you doing here in Azure?" Harmes questioned, his tone playful.

"Hah…" Eliot sighed as he continued with a voice laced with anger and annoyance.

"Harmes… you are no longer part of The Star Council. So, drop the act."

"Oops! Did I get caught?" Harems said as he raised his hands.

"Who other than the Gale Blade can appear behind me without getting decapitated?" Eliot said as he shook his head at Harmes act.

"Haha! It's the Gale Demon now." Harmes corrected with a chuckle as he moved his hand like trying to say 'you jest.'

"Get to the point or do you wish to battle me, Harmes?" Eliot questioned as he narrowed his eyes.

Harmes looked at Eliot for a few good seconds and shook his head.

"No… I am not here to battle you."

"I know that much already, get to the point." Eliot said with an annoyed tone.

"I am here to warn you. Leave Necron." Harmes said as he turned around and left, his steps were quick but measured.

Eliot looked at him for a few moments.

"A warning huh… I wonder." Eliot mumbled as his gaze moved towards the building of Starborne Emporium.

"I wish you are worthy enough to awaken the sleeping beast that is the Purple Regent." Eliot continued, his voice low, he then shook his head and left the alley, his steps light as a grin appeared on his face.

"Do your worst, Harmes."

Harmes stood at the top of an abandoned two storey store with an indifferent look as he gazed at the departing figure of Eliot.

"Was that wise?"

Harmes turned around and looked at Zelron with a shake of his head as he spoke.

"Only time will tell."

Hearing that, Zelron nodded and turned silent.

"Let's go. We have to prepare." Harmes said as he once again disappeared without making any sound.

Seeing that, Zelron shook his head as he mumbled to himself in a low voice not wanting Harmes to hear him if he was still here.

"I can't move like you, you know?"

"I can still hear you, Zelron."

"Hah…"

Zelron just heaved a sigh and walked towards the stairs, he exited the building and approached a wall deep within the alley. He cut his hand and blood started to seep out of it, he touched the wall and a crimson glow began to emanate from the wall and the wall parted giving way to a dimly illuminated pathway.
