17 Reason

The dark clouds were hung overhead with the fast wind blowing in the area. There was the smell of iron, blood-like iron in the air. Vague glimpses of broken weapons and corpses came into view of him. Vultures and Ravens were screaming and circling in the sky.

A blurry figure in armor was standing close to him. Orion tried to speak something but found himself unable to speak, he blinked furiously to remove blood from his eyes but still, his vision was blurry.

He found himself shackled in the chains. Suddenly the man in Armour came close to him and placed his heavy hand on his shoulder. His shoulder sank due to the weight of the hand but instead of coldness, he felt a warm feeling from the hand.

He then began to talk in some foreign language, how much he tried to understand what he was saying he could not decipher the meaning of his words.

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach area, and then without any warning, words rang in his ears,

"...fhsi eke….nokr skdt tuniye, Time has come…. WAKE UP"

**********************

He woke up with a jerk to find himself in the passenger seat of the jet. The sharp pain was coming from his wound in the stomach.

He opened his eyes to be stunned by the view of The beautiful lady sitting close to him focusing on something. He looked down to see she was wearing a casual crop top with jeans and he was sitting bare shirt on the chair.

"Hmm, Don't move unless you want your stitches to be done wrong. "

Said Venezia with thread in her mouth, while not taking time to even break her concentration from the wound.

Now, Orion realized why she was so close to him as she was stitching his wound which, unfortunately, were torn off during the chase. She had applied some type of local anesthetic because he could not feel the needle but from inside his wound was hurting like hell.

He closed his eyes to rest a little and avoid staring at the beautiful lady's face. He then recalled his dream which by most parts he had forgotten about but he remembered that this time it was a little different than usual.

He could sense more details and even was able to understand more words of that armor person. The stench of blood this time felt almost real alongside the tense grip of chains on his hands.

"Ok, it is fine now. The injury will heal in a few weeks while the scar will take more time. "

Orion opened his eyes to see Venezia sitting opposite him with her legs crossed in her skin-tight jeans. He looked towards his wound where there was a similar suspicious green paste was coated like which was applied to his left arm.

She quickly grabbed a glass and bottle of scotch from the side cabin. And poured half a glass for herself. She gave a little quarter to Orion also but he didn't pluck it up.

She swirled her drink while taking a sip and asked her curiously,

"Take the drink. It can help in the injury you know. "

Orion leaned back and closed his eyes,

"I don't know but this is all very confusing to me. Only one week before I was introduced to this side of the world, and I was excited."

He sighed deeply and continued,

"Yes, I wanted to know more but I never wanted to include myself in it. I was happy with the mundane lifestyle of me.

College, friends, restaurant, etc. But suddenly everything turned upside down. Now, you, and Ed all of them are telling me I have become the most wanted man in the hidden world.

Why? I didn't do anything. Hell, I don't even know that much about it like I was until recently believing unicorns must be real too.

And suddenly I was attacked in college, many students seriously injured because he was finding me. Now I am suddenly going to Japan, without any warning because it is the only place I can hide from the world. "

Venezia listened to all his frustration and nodded in sympathy,

"Well, Orion do you remember about your father?"

Orion opened his eyes to stare at her but didn't speak anything. Gears in his mind spinning quickly.

"Yes, he was a Magic-User, and well he was one of the most powerful ones. But the thing was he had a bad situation, or you can say the scuffle with bad terms.

Which led to him losing his mind and almost extinction of humanity from the face of this world. It was a world-breaking catastrophe that was triggered by your father. "

Orion didn't remember much of his childhood except a few here and there short memories but this sudden claim of his father being evil and a terrorist, suddenly got on his nerves.

He wanted to yell, curse at her in anger but surprisingly he was calm. He was way too calm.

Venezia expected denial and all other emotions but calm was not one of them. she was suddenly stumped as to how to continue the topic. In the end, she decided to go all out.

"Well, so now someone Anonymous has released your presence to the whole world in the hidden community. Painting you as an effective target.

The son of terrorists, almost who destroyed the world single-handedly is bound to have some influence from some evil God. You are as much of a threat as your father was.

So what is the solution? Simple to nip the bud in the growth. Whether good or bad or even gray, all of them now agree with the decision to kill you. "

His clear brown eyes without any ripple of emotion were staring straight into the blue eyes of Venezia. He opened his mouth to speak in a gruff voice,

"So what is the motive of your organization or MoA or MoJ in saving my life?"

"Well, MoA or MoJ are official organizations so they ought to stand with justice, or at least that's what they claim.

While Ouroboros is saving you because there is the rumor that someone from higher up wants you to be safe and sound because they don't believe in the Evil God theory but we are not sure.

Proof of our belief is that you are completely normal. There is no contract radiating from you indicating that your father had not done something to you in your childhood.

You have been kept free from this world, this is the most convincing proof of your innocence.

So we believe that punishment of crimes of your father should not be given to you, who is completely ignorant. So I advise you to come with us when reaching Japan. I can be your mentor and friend. "

Orion closed his eyes to lose himself in his thoughts. Venezia reading the room, went inside the inner cabin to give him some alone time to process things.

Slowly, he tried to remember all the details of his father and mother that he could recall. Small memories of his father playing with him, his mother homeschooling him.

As he was aimlessly drifting in the sea of his blurry memories. He was trying to come to terms with the reality of his father. Suddenly a vague memory came to his mind.

' The night was high, and his father suddenly got dressed in his black suit. He woke up from his movement and came outside while rubbing his eyes. He caught his father at the exact movement of closing the door.

Their eyes met, he stopped and but then continued to close the door in front of his eyes all the while aware that his son was looking at him. He after some time yelled from outside,

"Hey Orion, go and sleep tight. I am going to pick up your mother. Be a good boy, ok!

I will be back in a jiffy."

He opened his eyes to remember this was his last meeting with his father. while news of his death came two days later in a car accident.

He could not believe the story about his father, but he also could not believe that now the whole world is wrong. He was finding himself stuck in the middle.
