Ch 5: Echoes of Destiny: Awakening [5/Last]
On a dark night, a boy was running, clutching a notebook to his chest as if it were glued to his hand.
Indeed, it was Rey, who sprinted with his notes, nursing a minor injury on his right hand.
After a few minutes of running, he glanced back and saw that no one was following him.
Once certain he wasn't being pursued, he allowed himself a sigh of relief.
Slowing to a walk, he reached home in ten minutes.
He approached the front door quietly and used a spare key to open it silently.
Tiptoeing towards his room, he noticed some plates on the dining table. Upon closer inspection, he discovered some food left by his mother, accompanied by a note.
After discarding the object, Rey shut the window and took a deep breath to steady his nerves. Yet, the man reappeared before him, teleporting with a look of annoyance in his eyes.
Despite the surprise, Rey remained composed as the man, now floating, seemed lost in thought.
"Let's begin with introductions. My name is Aiden," the man said with a self-assured grin, prompting Rey for his name.
Rey remained silent, offering only a cautious gaze in response.
"I'm not sure who you are, but I prefer not to associate with strangers. I have a family to look after, and considering you've asked me to rule the world, I doubt you're just some random person caught up in this," Rey said, hesitating slightly.
