Ch49. The approaching storm

I mean, he was pretty much identical to Orkas, only that he looked a few years older.

"I haven't been called this name for quite some time." He looked at me, and I felt something calling out.

The weapons.

They resonated with him.

"So it's really you. But... Weren't you in..."

"Inside the [HIDDEN NEST]?" He chuckled. "Yes, and I'm still there."

I was ready to say something, but his words got me off-track.

"What do you mean? How's it possible that there are two of you?"

Somehow, the thought of two Orkas made me think of Evellyn.

"Actually, 'here' I'm called Oliver, but I'm linked to the Dark Hero trapped inside the system."

"You know about the system..." I was getting more and more perplexed.

"Why don't you take off the mask so we can have a proper conversation, Kurt Blake?"

Shit!

The surprise for seeing him made me forget completely that I was Silence in there. But I guess it couldn't be helped.
