Chapter 199: The medallion
3rd person view
"What is that necklace for?" Richard asked pointing at a necklace with a pendant of a black swirl
"For a medallion" Jake answered and laughed "When we get that medallion, we will definitely have an adventure of a lifetime"
Perseus and the other 2 executives then warped onto the scene.
"Hey guys, you done on your end? Ours retreated, but boy they sure were mad" Perseus laughed
"Mostly at you" Urie chuckled "Man losing an arm sure did hurt like hell. Luckily you are just as proficient with healing as you are with fighting"

-Dabria, can you thank Beatrice and Richard for coming with us?-
-I already did, I'll also be sure to give them a lot of my blessings after this- Dabria answered
-I'll visit the ice elves after this for letting us borrow their shaman- Diana joined in
-Man, our trip to the Loken keeps getting delayed-
-Isn't mostly thanks to our lovey-dovey time with your girlfriend?- Siege pointed out -We have set aside a few of our days for you, you know-
-I know, I realized that when Morpheus made me relived my life several times. Makes me how much of a dick I am sometimes-

"What is it with people and that house?! Am I that popular?"
-Yeah, they always barge in to disturb our sleep- Ace agreed
The 2 Steels came to my house earlier and demanded for a private conversation with me so I took them to my new house where no one was at. Currently Diana and Damon are at the village of the ice elves as thanks for borrowing Arya.
Dabria is also away for the moment, so in that room is only me, Ace, Siege, Cordelia and the Steels.
"I mean you kinda are" Cordelia said
-Don't let it get into your head- Siege said -Dabria is not here, so I will take her role to not let your ego get too big-
"Well I don't need anyone else, I don't think I have the capacity to provide enough love to a harem...at least not yet"
"Ambitious, aren't cha?" Professor Steel raised an eyebrow
"Why'd you want a private conversation? And what does my girlfriend have to do with this?"
"I know that this is a strange thing to ask, but...why do I no longer have feelings for you all of a sudden?" Professor Emma asked
"Let's just say...someone owes me a favor"
-Yeah, now you don't have to feel guilty about her having a crush on you- Siege commented
"Why you suddenly find me attractive or something?"
"I mean you kinda are but..." she trailed off
"Forget all that! I know why you're gathering the necklaces, kid. You guys are planning to summon a demon lord" Professor Steel accused "You plan on getting that medallion after you kill it"
"Wow, your research is impressive" I applauded
"Are you insane?!" Professor Emma
"No, we have very logical reasons to do so. Besides the seekers are strong enough to kill the demon lord, we aren't that bad. The champions plans to let the beasts roam free and destroy the planet and rebuild a perfect world from scratch, and you guys allied with them"
"He's got a point" Siege agreed
"That's just one of your goals and you are willing to kill to get your goals accomplished, so you're just hypocrites" Professor Emma argued
"Touché, but trust me, my goals are simply beyond your understanding. There are many things in this world that you do not understand"
"You're a mass murderer!" Professor Emma retorted
"You guys attacked us and arranged that raid, what I did was by technicality, self defense"
"That's not the right justification for your actions" Professor Steel argued
"Right, like living in a kingdom that placed me in a false trial with plans to manipulate my feelings for their benefit is any better, especially after I helped them avoid a civil war, helped them build a relationship with a powerful kingdom and help them win a tournament"
"He's right, you know. Why live in a kingdom like that?" Cordelia added
"Fine! We'll just be repeating the same conversations again and again" Professor Steel said "Now explain something to me, what's so special about you? That sword is made of special material that can only be wielded by certain individuals, and you seem to know a lot"
"Can't tell you either"
"You're really not making this easy" he complained
"There are some secrets that I like to keep, even you guys have some. Like how professor Steel occasionally talk to his reflection to practice his lines before meeting professor Green or professor Emma-"
"Ok shut up" Professor Emma cut me off
"There is one other way to shut him up, much more effective too" Cordelia giggled
"Well we're being good underlings for Zach, you won't be getting out any information from us" Ace then did an evil laughed which doesn't suit him
"Victoria, Albert, you, Andrius, how many more of you are there?" Professor Steel asked
"Um, we're the same as you guys, don't classify us as if we're some unknown species. We're people too. We also have feelings and dreams just like you"

"We were at it for hours, and nothing came out of him, only free dinner" Emma sighs in frustration
"Well we'll just have to carry out our own private investigation from now on" Craig responded "But I pulled all my connections and knowledge already, not a lot of information is know about the medallion. Most of it was destroyed or stolen by an unknown culprit who is most likely Andrius...we need to know why they need that medallion"
"I can see why Cordelia like him now, if you focus on it, he's pretty good looking, can do chores, financially stable, and is great at cooking. He's pretty much a perfect..."
"Don't think about it" Craig warned
"Just a thought, don't worry" Emma reassured him

"Ok, who are you?"
I was in a dream and in front of me is this Emo looking dude that is 180cm tall with black hair, black eyes and black wings. I bet this is one of my brothers.
"Phobetor, one of your brothers" he answered "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do, but it is necessary for your training"
