294 A Demigod

Earlier…

The morning came and everything seemed to be peaceful, that was until one grown man woke up with a start and yelled.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The woman next to him also woke up, startled by the sound, and automatically placed a hand on the man's shoulder to calm him down from whatever was agitating him – well, at least until she also remembered where she was and why she was there. Her eyes widened in horror as she too let out a scream.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The image of the three pairs of huge eyes set on bird-like faces flashed in their minds as last night's events came flooding back in their memories. They scrambled to their feet as they tried to run, but the servants had already been alarmed by their screams and had opened the screen to check up on them even before they reached the door.

Aki and Chiaki held each other as they eyed the servants warily at first, but got confused right after.
