A Second Chance
Chapter 5: Luca's Return
I nearly fainted with surprise and terror when Luca stepped in front of my cell, it was IMPOSSIBLE for him to be alive!
The cell door clanged open and Luca stepped confidentally into my cell. He didn't bother to shut the cell doors again.
"So little brother, are you surprised to see me? HEHEHE! I would think you'd have asked how I'm alive by now, so, ask away. I have the time." cackled Luca.
"Well then, how the hell are you still alive you bastard!?" I yelled.
"Tsk, tsk. No need for such language little brother, it could annoy me. Believe me, you don't want that." Luca paused and glared at me with evil in his eyes, then he continued, "Well, I will tell you how I live again....When I used the Beast Rune to consume the people of Muse a part of my essence was trapped there, it lived on even though your little friend Marcus weakened and seemingly destroyed it. Anyways, the Beast Rune was thought destroyed but as many know, True Runes never die, never. It became weakened and would not be able to use it's full power for millennia to come...I took over it's weakened state and turned it towards Harmonia...the High Priest Sasari sensed it's power and restored it to it's physical state and when it was restored, my essence was driven from it and began to roam free.
I wandered for many months until I came upon my preserved body, which you could never guess where I found it. I found it in an above-ground tomb which was created by my remaining loyalists. I went in and possessed my body again...it took me a very long time to break free but when I did I found the Highland under control of those City/State pigs and fled to Harmonia.
Many of my loyalists had fled here and I brought them together again...we have established martial law here in Harmonia and have many plans for the future. HEHEHE HAHAHA!!"
Luca spat at me and walked out, shutting the cell door behind him.
I thought to myself, "So, Luca is alive because of the Beast Rune. I wish now I had never stopped at Jillia's...that's where it all began, she should have resisted against Luca! Why did she side with him!? If only I could break this glove on my right hand, then I could escape...Marcus...please help me."
At that moment a bright glow shined from beneath the black glove...it grew and grew until the entire cell was covered by a blinding white light, I heard a loud shattering noise and the light got sucked back into my hand. The glove, and chains, were gone.
"Thank you Marcus." I whispered.
