Mystery

Ryu walked back into the Violet Olive mansion as though he couldn't see all the eyes stuck onto him. 

After a brief exchange of words with Giveon he was assigned his own room and quickly disappeared to it, not bothering with any sort of pleasantries. 

Giveon took a deep breath after gazing toward Ryu's disappearing back. After a while, he glanced back toward Grim, Dru and Amie, but all three seemed to be lost in their own worlds. Sometimes they would tremble involuntarily as though remembering some trauma before going back to being dazed. 

The burly man who had been by Giveon's side frowned at such a sight. Just what happened to make them act like this? 

Annette's frown was deep. She too wanted to know where such a monster had appeared from. And, worse yet, how could such a talent not have been accepted into a Faction?
