Chapter 23 - Family

Harkon looked down at his blood splattered hands which didn't seem to be wounded but we're covered in someone else's blood most likely Reginolds.

Harkon immediately looked over to Reginolds corpse.All around the sheets,corpse and pillow were magic sigils made of Reginolds blood.Harkon knew a bit about magic sigils since he was a mage so he immediately studied the meaning behind the sigils.

"It can't be.Oh Reginold."tears began to appear in Harkons eyes as he realised the fate of his best friend.His soul had been completely destroyed in order to have its soul magic harvested.

"I'll find who did this I promise."Harkon made a vow to find the person responsible and get justice and revenge for Reginold.

Suddenly a priestess of the church of the light entered the room.She was there to treat Reginolds injuries from his last battle and was expecting to find him lying in bed.What she didn't expect to find was a dead corpse with dark magic sigils all over it.

She then saw Harkon with bloodied hands and a dagger in his hands.She immediately reached the assumption that he was a murderer.

"Wait I can explain.Just listen to me."Harkon immediately tried to reason with the priestess but she already left the room screaming "murder murder" repeatedly.

"Shit"Harkon immediately cast the invisibility spell and left the room.He was determined to prove his innocence and get revenge.

Orions POV

Orion was having lunch at a table.There were other people at the table eating their own food.Two of the people were adults who claimed to be his parents.One younger person at the table claimed to be Orions younger brother.

Orion honestly didn't know what to do in this situation.He didn't have it in him to tell them that he wasn't their family member he was just a soul from another universe inhabiting their undead family members body.It was awkward as hell.

"So Valdel your boss told me that you were going to be away for an experimental trip but you seem to have come back early.Did something happen?."Bob the muscular father asked as he looked at the man he thought was his son.He was a man with dark hair and blue eyes.He possessed a muscular body that looked as though it was sculpted from Marble.

"Oh no I simply finished the trip I was assigned to.I did everything I needed to do and was able to come home early."Orion decided not to tell the man that his son had died and was now a zombie.

"You've gained quite the humongous appetite Valdel.Your normally a slower eater but you've sped up drastically.I give you way more food then your siblings due to your vast metabolism but you should have been full by now.Is it a result of all the experiments your boss does to you."Merry the attractive mother said as she giggled at Orion eating the massive amount of meat and fruit on his large plate.Merry was a voluptuous woman with an hour glass figure and child bearing hips.She had dark hair and blue eyes.

"Oh no I'm just hungry after a long trip home."said Orion who was gaining stats from eating the meat and plants.Even though Orion was asexual he had to admit that his new body's parents had an attractive appearance from what his old friends said they found attractive.Once Orion was finished eating his so called younger brother Akon immediately grabbed his arm and asked him to play catch with him.

"Let's go play catch please.Your hardly ever home and the others are out doing their jobs."Orion agreed and followed his brother outside.

Once he was outside Orion immediately heard yelling in the distance.There were screams and yells of murder and dark magic.Orion wouldn't consider himself a genius but he had to admit that even an idiot would realise that Varimathras was going on a rampage right now.

Akon also heard the yells of murder and spit on the ground.

"Damn murderer I hope the seers catch him."

"What's a seer?"asked Orion as curiousity got the best of him.Akon immediately looked at him in confusion

"You should know why are you asking?."Akon was now confused about his brothers question.

"I'm simply testing your knowledge of Ring City younger brother."Orion came up with a quick lie.

"Oh okay well the seers are mages who use soul magic and they can see things that regular people can't.They use their abilities to track down criminals and dark mages.As long as they possess an object that belongs to the criminal in question then they can track the criminal down anywhere.That murderer won't be able to escape for long."Akon said the specifics about the seers as there were a lot of details about them.

"Are you Valdel I'm here to bring you back to Mandar Schion."A man dressed like a mage made himself known to the duo.
