12 Abyssal Eder Family

Ethan appeared calm but his mind was in turmoil.

The panther still had its eyes on Ethan moving majestically towards him,Ethan felt time was slower than normal probably a cause of the trepidation he was experiencing.

The panther finally appeared in front of Ethan,it bent towards the meat on Ethan's fidgeting hand and at first sniffed it before it opened its jaw to pick the meat.

The sight of the teeth gave Ethan a fright,the teeth had all around its surface a patch or stain of red which was probably blood,but Ethan was not concerned about that.

.

What baffled him was that the size and the sharpness the teeth released was far more than that of a reaper snake.

Ravu picked the meat but before doing that it used its huge tongue to lick Ethan's hand like a house cat.This act sent a tickling sensation into Ethan's body which made him involuntary laugh.

This produced a slight smile on the face of Doji.Ethan was surprised he couldn't believe that the dangerous looking panther just acted nice towards him.

Silence descended on the three with only the sound of satisfaction filling the air.

The reign of silence was protracted among the three,Ethan finally decided to break the silence after discovering that both beast and master had eaten to their satisfaction.

"I assume you guys must have travelled far "

Ethan said, as he raised his eyebrows in a means of hinting them of his hidden message.

Ethan predicted they must have come from a very far place,firstly from the way they ate,they devoured all of the boar's meat down to the bone,Ravu even went on to eat the damaged meat.

Anybody shouldn't be as hungry as they were in a Sedron forest,there was boundless amount of food supply it appeared they just arrived at the forest in the late night.

He could also see the exhaustion in their eyes they both tried to hide it but Ethan was able to detect it when they were both devouring the meat,they could not hide it in the sight of food.

Doji was a bit surprised,he tilted his head towards Ravu which had its eyes on Ethan.

"Yes"

Doji gave Ethan a simple answer,he stared at Ethan wanting him to ask the actual question he had in mind.

Seeing this,Ethan couldn't help but smile bitterly he had to go straight to the point,he had expected Doji to have given him more details in his answer sparing him the stress of asking more questions.

"Both of you are probably not from this part of the world!"

There was a bit of doubt in Ethan's voice which both Doji and Ravu didn't discover.

"And why did you suggest such?!"

Doji stared at Ethan with a grin hung on his face.

"It's simple,your names!!,nobody from this part of the world bears such strange names!!"

Ethan had been speculating about this matter ever since Doji revealed their names to him.

Doji laughed and Ravu roared lightly towards Ethan.

"Your speculations are right we are not from this region"

Ethan was very happy which he didn't show outside,it was because he was able to align his vague thoughts into facts.

"So where are you from?!!"

Doji wanted to reply but he suddenly pause in between,he had a hint of hesitation in his eyes.He stared at his panther as though he was searching for answers,the panther stared at Doji with its torch like eyes as though its eyes were the answers Doji seeks.

Doji nodded his head and smiled at Ethan.

Ethan was wondering why Doji was hesitating to tell him where they came from.

"Back to your question,we come from the Abyssal Eder family"

Ethan had a thoughtful look on his face as he began to search through his memories.

"Abyssal Eder family,it sounds familiar"

thought Ethan as he rubbed his beardless jaw.He tried to remember where he had heard the name.

"Wait a minute,abyss..." said Ethan as the memory of the name suddenly flowed his head like a river.

"You are from that family?!!" Ethan said as he pointed at both Ravu and Doji.

Doji nodded his head in reply gently staring at Ethan.

Ethan was shocked beyond doubt,he could now remember vividly what Patriarch Lawrence had told them about the family under the moonlight tree.

Abyssal Eder family was a family with strange set of humans,they were more like abyssal beasts that feeds on the darkness of the night.

Darkness element flowed through their blood.It was said that the ancestor of this family was born deep in a dark abyss where darkness was so dense that it burned like flames.

So he vividly passed his powers to his generation, they wielded not ordinary darkness but darkness flames.

This family doesn't perpetrate any crime as people would expect,they isolated themselves from the world staying in the comfort of their region.

So Ethan was shocked when Doji said he was from the Abyssal Eder family.

Ethan suddenly frowned has he stared at the eyes of Doji,Doji seeing this sighed.

Ethan could remember well that Patriarch Lawrence said that the members of the Abyssal Eder family always had dark pitch eyeballs which were as cold as the wind of the night.

But Doji had none of this,his eyes were green and full of life.

Ethan began to wonder could Patriarch Lawrence might have made a mistake or Doji himself was lying.

Ethan didn't think long before answers came to him.

"You are wondering why my eyes are green,that is one of the main reason i am in the outside world"

Ethan wanted to ask Doji more questions but he could feel the pain in his words,probably it was a personal matter.

Ethan was amazed at how he just believed every of Doji's word.He was not a gullible sort of person how Doji's word just sound true in his ears made him shiver.

But Ethan could not help but have an expression of admiration on his face, Doji had such luck to be born in a huge family,even Star heir family that was constantly bothering them was insignificant in the sight of this family.

Doji shook his head when he saw Ethan's expression.

"You think am lucky to be born in such a family?!!,I regret been born there i prefer a simple life,each and every of them are wolves under a sheep clothing!!"

Doji had a hint of anger in his shaky voice,he seemed to have bad blood with family members.
