Imprisonment
Note: In this chapter it will show that this mysterious bird is not so normal after all. But who is this bird working for and what does the mysterious person want with Lance?
Chapter 4: The Bird and Freedom
Lance Pov
When Fea Kreuz said that a bird is watching us outside the cage I looked at the bird and can't help but felt that it was familiar to me in some way. I suddenly thought of an idea to ask Vertrag if he can control animals like he could with humans.
Fea Kreuz uneasy about doing this said: '' I can make contracts with humans but on animals I don't do it as often so I hope this will work!'' Before Vertrag summoned out his scythe to point at the strange bird it was already flying down from the tree to swoop down and used its wing to sweep at the lock and the lock was finally broken off from the powerful attack from this not so ordinary bird.
However the blue bird glanced at me at a sad expression and flew off, I went out of the cage being careful that the door was really unlocked to follow it of why it saved us so I shouted:'' Hey come back!'' But it was already gone as it didn't want to be followed.
Fea Kreuz Pov
I was confused on why any animal appeared now especially this bird that never came around this cage for this past ten years while I was imprisoned in. But ever since Lance came the bird looked at him like it recognized him from somewhere as I took noticed that the bird had a symbol on its right wing that looked like an arrow encircled a wing that has dark feathers.
So the owner of the bird must have sent it to save us at the moment but it can't be coincidence that the bird saved us only because Lance was brought here.
While being stuck in thought Lance nudged me to talk about his opinion of the strange bird:'' I wonder why that bird saved us at the cage we were imprisoned in and I had a feeling someone was watching us just now!''
No Lance whatever it was, wanted to watch you for a reason that I hope isn't any evil plans, so seeing this chance to leave the cage to head into the forest with Lance.
As we can't stay longer as Ayanami, my brother would catch up with us to do who knows what punishment he would give us if he found us and immediately hide in the forest to look for shelter.
Normal Pov
A figure emerged from the shadows of the forest as it was a man that looked like he was in his mid-twenties stood. He had a red coat and his hair was black, black gloves and had blue green eyes not like any human has. The man wore black leather pants along with brown boots. The stranger looked up on the tree branch he was on as the blue green bird landed on his left shoulder and said:'' Is it done Nero, did you free him?
Nero, the now named bird nodded its head as if to answer him. The man relived that his beloved is safe now was thinking what has happened many years ago. Since humanity evolved over the years the world above was different to him now since those curious humans developed new technology throughout the years.
He began to dislike them for what they did to the environment and how they were the reason he and his precious person weren't allowed to be together. The man saw two men, Lance and Fea Kreuz went by the tree he was on to look around for safety, he was looking at Lance and thought I will see my love again even if this one doesn't remember me in this life.
So the man disappeared to follow after the two ghosts who were heading into the sacred place he knows about. To make sure that Lance would not do anything risky as he doesn't want to him get into the traps in this place set up by his old master Verloren. If his old master could see him now he would say that he was a traitor for helping out his certain enemies and he has to hurry before Verloren gets to both of them on time.
Note: So far in the story Lance and Fea Kreuz began to notice they are being followed by someone not human but appears like one. This strange person has a connection to the past to a thousand years ago during the time of the original Seven ghosts battle against the death god but why did he choose sides? More importantly why is he interested in Lance?
