A few weeks had passed with some forward progress in breaking Fenrir, but a man dressed in mostly black wearing what looked to be a black duster had come to confront the man who was currently in possession of the Providence Breaker. The guards said toward the head of the WW Division leader, “Introducing the owner of the largest energy organizations in existence, Sir Sentius. His research into energy is unparalleled and thanks to his influence we have made new revolutions in our studies of how exactly this Universe came to be. He is the CEO of Psychosis, the largest energy supplier in existence. He would like to talk to you about what he could do for you.”
“As you know I am the owner of Psygnosis, one of the largest energy suppliers in the entire galaxy. I am here to make a rather interesting deal that benefits us both.” The man said as he dismissed the guards. He was curious what he could learn from this person and how they could help him learn more about Taru and her connection to a special existence which drew all of his interest. I don’t really care about his research into this werewolf. What I want to know is his werewolf’s relationship with the Holy Mother and what he knows about Mother. I must know more about Antitypes and their purpose. I have to know, because this could lead toward the possible creation of an entity just like Cinis if not better. He thought as he grinned to himself.
The old man, Reek, sighed and responded, “I am a scientist, not a bureaucrat, go bother one of them with your petty business deals and corporate espionage.”
“To be honest, I’m only interested in meeting Taru. I won’t keep her from what she has planned, but I want a chance to meet this girl. I would also like to know what Fenrir knows about Meira. I have no interest in your creations. Just knowledge they might have which may prove useful in our research on the Rune of Origin. He may have knowledge about Antitypes which would be essential for our own research. That is all I want. In return, I may help you with your research as compensation for at least letting me meet her.” Sentius said as he dropped the formality and business nonsense and got exactly to the point. He needed to know if Fenrir might have heard from Meira the answer to The Key that they were missing. Also if he came across what possible could be an Eve clone named Lenna which Luther created. Anyone that came into contact with these Antiypes could prove useful in discovering the secrets about their existence.
“Fine. I give you permission to speak to Taru and Fenrir, but entirely because I want to get out of my office.” Reek snarked. He was tempted to simply kill these people, but he had the feeling they were more powerful than they originally let on, and the Cimmerians wouldn’t be to happy with that executive decision.
“Wise decision… You do not want to see what I am capable of, old fool.” He said as his hand glowed an ominous gold color for a second before dissipating as Reek’s men lead the man toward the place they were holding Fenrir first. He wanted to extract as much knowledge from Fenrir before he came into contact with Taru. That way he could better feel the relationship Taru has with Fenrir, the voice that speaks to her and Meira. “Using unstable energy pockets and trick magic to prevent people from escaping... Not bad though if I pass my energy through another dimension and release it directly on my target I don’t have to worry about such primitive methods. This being the reason I find boundary manipulation the most interesting aspect in the field of magic, because the problem with most forms of magic is they have backdoors just like this trick. No matter, I will play along with this little charade of yours. Perhaps I can learn something that is actually useful from it from my experience to it.”
They lead him to the cell then let him in the cell where Fenrir was being held where he approached the figure. “Introductions are pointless so I will get right to the point. There is much we can learn from one another. I have no interest in Reek’s dealings with you nor any interests the Cimmeria Empire has with you. Though I could provide you with an opportunity to escape and for you to take Taru far away from here. Before I do that, you have to do something for me. All I want to know is what you know about Meira when you came into contact with her? What is her relationship with you? I also want to know if the voice inside Taru ever tried to speak to you and if she did what did she say?”
Meanwhile Taru was discussing with Anayame what they should do. She saw the object that Reek provided them though she wanted to know why he was so interested in helping her escape. She didn’t know whether to escape or not since her original’s friend Fenrir was still being held captive. She regretted every word she said toward Fenrir and hated herself for saying it. Sure she did get Anayame back, but at what price? She might have just severed what relationship Meira had with the beast and any hope of light shining inside its void for a heart. She also knew that Eve was having no luck in convincing Fenrir to listen to her. “Something inside me, Anayame says I’m not doing the right thing. I feel so horrible for what I’ve done because her feelings are just getting stronger which is starting to complicate things for me.”
Anayame reached over and gripped Taru’s hand nodding. Anayame unlike Taru had short hair which was shoulder length. She wore a plaid skirt which was mostly green and yellow with white square figurines on it. She also wore a white vest over top her blue blouse and a pair of white thigh highs along with a pair of white sneakers. “I want to save him too, Taru. I saw how lonely he looks and it pains me to see someone that way.”
Fenrir’s cell, while behind a lock door, did not look like a cage, but instead a very fancy two-room hotel, a luxurious bedroom and a bathroom. Fenrir just laid down on his stomach, a pillar covering his face. Whenever he heard the stranger’s voice, he simply raised his hand, making a very rude gesture among werewolves.
“Let me ask you a question? Do you wish to escape or not? I can make this worthwhile for the both of us. I will also allow you to be reunited with Meira, but this is the last time I will ask. What do you know about Meira and what is her connection with you? Also, tell me anything you know about Taru or the voice that speaks to her?” This time Sentius shifted his voice to a more of I’m not in the mood for my time to be wasted type of tone. This time he was a bit more sincere about what he was asking and it was the last time he was going to ask. He had far better things to do than waste his time with talking to a brick wall. He could just access what he wanted to know from Taru since she came into contact with Fenrir.
Fenrir seemed to think for a moment, pausing for a few moments without moving. Or, that was just what it appeared to be, in truth, he just fell asleep which became evident after his first snore.
“Have it your way then.” Sentius said as he turned around signaled to the guards and left the room. “Tell Reek I won’t be returning. If he has any information he wants to provide me with then send it to my research division. I’m done wasting my time here.” He concluded as he walked away from that room and started for the room where they were holding Taru captive. He signaled toward the guards to open the door where he got an immediate action from Taru and her sister Anayame.
Taru immediately turned her attention toward the door as she was surprised that someone came to visit her aside from Reek and his goon squad. She also recognized who the person was which made her shift into a more serious mood, “What do you want?” She said not pleased to see the man again.
The man walked and introduced himself, but neither Taru nor her sister Anayame were pleased to see him. He walked over and took a seat in one of the chair then focused all his attention on the two girls. “Taru, what did you learn from Fenrir? Does he know anything about Meira that he should not know? Should he find out the secret of her ancestry it may provide problems for me in the future. I certainly don’t want that cult Reek is from getting their hands on the Rune of Origin let alone any of the Antitypes especially you and Lenna.” He grinned as he snapped his fingers which brought her into a trance which was under his complete control.
“Master Sentius, he knows nothing about the Rune of Origin. He also hasn’t learned anything about Meira’s lineage aside from the fact she’s a princess. By now, everyone should be able to be able to draw that conclusion.
He’s such a naive fellow. He thinks I’m Meira when I’m not. How could my original be friends with someone so vulgar? It’s absurd I tell you. Do you wish for him to be eliminated?” Taru asked with no control over her emotions or body. It seemed that her self-awareness didn’t interfere either.
“No, that won’t be necessary. Perhaps I can keep him alive and use him toward getting Meira to reveal her power. If that fool Reek gets in my way or that cult I will have their existence nullified. Should they push me I shall show them what I’m truly capable of and why I am the Father of Magic.” Sentius threatened as he thought about what his next move would be. Sentius was very renown for his skill at magic. His magical skills surpassed everyone and he knew every back door to every spell hence why he relies on his Boundary Manipulation and Dimension Magic which has no equal. “Your purpose here has been served, Taru. I shall transport you to the continent Holyoke in Windgrace’s capital so you can fulfill your next task.”
“What is my next task?” Taru questioned as she was very curious to learn what it was. She took a drink from her wine that was on the table while she waited for Sentius to answer he question. She wondered what kind of place Windgrace was?
“Your next task is to confront Meira and erase any memories she has of Fenrir. I want her to completely forget about that fool. I cannot allow her to be placing herself in danger when she is needed to complete my next task. Hopefully Ranathia’s run with the ruin will confirm my theory about her being The Key. If that’s true, I am one step closer from achieving my ultimate goal.” Sentius grinned as he prepared his hand which had a mysterious golden glow on his hand. It was time for Taru and Anayame to leave Cimmeria and confront their next target which was Meira. “Eventually I’ll eliminate Reek so that the knowledge about Antitypes and the Rune of Origin are simply forgotten. After that, as long as Fenrir stays out of my way I will not have to destroy him.” With those words Sentius pulled himself and the two other girls into a pocket dimension he created called The Void. He then in a flash of light sent the two on their mission which was in Windgrace as he snapped his finger bringing Taru back to her normal state while he returned to finish what he had started.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A flash a light appeared and out of it two girls appeared a room that had a blonde angelic man in it. Taru knew that Sentius probably didn't project their trajectory perfectly and that his aiming was a bit off. why else would they end up in someone's house only to recognize that it was Meira house since she could sense Meira's essence in the place. Another girl accompanied her for the trip. The hand maidens were all stunned and shocked at what they just saw. They could have sworn that they sent Meira to school. "Heheh, um well..." Taru paused a bit embarrassed to barge into Meira's manor unannounced. It was a bit rude and very intruding to do so. Especially when she looked just like Meira.
One of the hand maidens said toward Mithos who was reading a book in the room, "Mithos, tell me that I'm seeing things?" She questioned still not able to understand why she was seeing the princess right in front of her who appeared out of a flash of light.
