Chapter 10
"Jay, are ya alright?"
"Y-Yes..."
Moses stood by his brother's bed. It's only been an hour since their encounter with Penthesilea. It was one of out a million events confused him. The bandit chief acted weird back there.
"Ya idiot, ya shouldn't get yerself tired like this."
"At least I've obtained important information that could at least understand all this."
"That won't matter if yer gonna collapse!"
As the ninja chuckled weakly and the bandit glared, the mystic boy kept a close eye at their actions as if he was envious and angry.
"Since you're here, I think this would be a good time to tell you about the red eclipse…It'll be happening in a week from now."
"Red eclipse? What's that? It sounds like a borin' topic Will would be excited about."
"Pippo insisted I invite you and the others to this event that only occurs in every 200 years. The sky coats itself with blood red given by the light of the red moon."
"So the moon is turnin' red. Why?"
"Even I don't know that." Jay answered feeling a thumping pain from behind his head.
"You should get some rest. You'll cause your big brother trouble."
"And who are you?" The ninja asked.
"Oh, please excuse me. I'm Orpheus. I came here out of concern. I thought for sure they'll take you away. Good thing this gentle man, right here, saved you."
"Thanks fer comin' all the way here, I'm Moses Sandor by the way and this is Jay." Orpheus smiled at the bandit but when he turned to Jay he glared at him with those foggy green eyes.
"Moses, Come here…" He did so as the ninja told.
"Gather the others at Will's house, I have data to share."
"But I can't leave ya alone."
"If I'm allowed to intrude, I can pass the message on to your friends."
"Thanks man! Here let me right their names" Moses wrote the names on a paper and gave to him. Then, Orpheus ran off.
Will's house
"Red, who's your cute friend?" Norma saw the handsome boy setting across her.
"The name is Orpheus." The mystic kid gave a dreamy look which maid her melt.
"If you'll give me your undivided attention, I have recently discovered something about Moon trinity." Jay cleared his throat and proceeded.
"They aren't searching for something, someone. They believe that a worthy leader would be selected here since they already scouted the mainland."
"How about the new born?" Chloe asked.
"They'll take them anyway and train as they grow." The ninja answered.
"That's wrong. They can't just take infants like that."
"So far we've seen, Shirley, they can." Will frowned missing his daughter's whines.
"And one more important thing, they do secret experiments on children who have potential. They store them somewhere on the Legacy." Jay added.
"I think I heard that somewhere. Just the other day I heard some men talking about children in the Crystal forest." Orpheus spoke.
"Let's investigate then!"
"Don't jump to any conclusions, Senel."
"Lil' bro, we've been thinkin' and thinkin' isn't it about time we take some action!"
Moses was right for once. They all nodded which made the mystic boy grin a little.
"May I accompany you? I also wish to put a stop to their evil deeds."
"Of course you can, you little cutie!" Norma chuckled.
"The more the merrier!" The bandit said.
"Excellent." Orpheus smiled.
