Walking with his head down unlike usual, Isiah reached the Eclouxerra insitituion fast, he didn't care about Ciel, nor the damage he caused to Aaron,for a second nothing mattered and he liked how it felt.
He certainly didn't regret it, and for some reason he started to crave for more.
Despite of losing control for that brief period, he was now feeling okay, all that tiersome that he felt when he was in that state was long gone.
' It must be Emperium's divine energy that caused the problem,' He thought' My body couldn't process it at the time, and that is why i felt tired like that'
Isiah smiled for the huge progress, now he knew that his body could even reach that amount, and if it took so much time for him to control it that would be fine with him.
He opened the giant gate of the institution the moment he arrived there, only to be surprised by that crowd of people gathering in the yard, most of them looked familiar, and from the clothes he was sure that they were from his district.
It was too late for him to hide or run away from them, their eyes were so cold when they sat their eyes on him, Isiah tried to hold himself together and not panic or show them that he was a threat of any sort.
He wasn't even sure that they knew what he did to Aaron .
The crowd was looking at him silently when a man walked towards him with a creepy smile on his face.
" Isiah Duncan, still safe and sound after all what happened around here, i almost forgot you existed, were you trying to keep a low profile my boy ?"
There was no correct way to answer that, and that is why Isaih kept on looking at him without saying anything.
"There is something different about you, hmmm, well, anyways …Do you the fruit of your brother's work, we have to overcome all these hardships because of you and your family"
Rivok was fuling the crowad behind him, when he laid his hand on Isiah and put it on his shoulder, they started to curse him and threaten him.
After all, Rivok knew exactly what he was doing. In the middle of this whole situation he showed them the inconvenience of being left behind, he gave them solutions that suited his ambition, and after all that he just showed the enemy .
Causing any harm to Isiah was not going to make them survive anything, they were doomed since the evacuation day, but to believe that the solution was this simple and that the enemy was right in front of them made them furious and hungry for revenge.
It was so easy to control people when they were in packs, just give them a common enemy.And their fear will do all the work.
" They chose to leave you behind, if you were so important to them, they would have taken you with them" Isiah said when sensed that people were following the words Rivok said.
" Well, We are all doomed here"
" Don't listen to him, what do you expect from the brother of that demonic mage!"
" This place is falling apart, you have to know that at least, there is no one going to help us "
Rivok pushed him then turned around to face the crowd, then said:" This place is safe, we are the chosen one, our region is the one that will survive it all, don't listen to him, the higher regions are going to rescue us, just we have to stick to the plan"
Isiah smirked at that moment, he recalled a scene from the past.
Rivok looked like his father when he was talking to his cult members, the same tone of desperation full of lies, it was always them against us, controlling the masses with corrupted ideas full of empty hopes and promises.
" A test ? Why do you think it is a test ? They took who deserved to level up and left the waste, they are not going to take those who are going to be useless there, if your powers don't serve you to level up then you are stuck here…it was indeed the last time"
" Shut your mouth, what are you trying to say? the king we served our whole lives left us? "
The people's wrath was impossible to be contained when Rivok said those words.
"I see what you are trying to do!" Isiah replied .
"At least we should punish the one responsible for what happened now that all the previous rules are not applicable "
" Huh, from the moment you laid your eyes on me, this was your glamourous plan? Instead of searching for an effective solution you want to punish me ? "
The crowd's voice was heard from far away, and being in the middle of that mess Isiah knew that there was nothing going to make them change their minds.
All his past experience with abuse and being bullied enlightened him that this mad crowd was never going to listen to him .
" I, Rivok Birnard , your ruler" he stopped for a while to test the atmosphere, there was no official statement that he was the ruler but since the moment he saw Isiah he chose to use him to forcify his stand.
" I will bring you salvation. For years this pathetic creature lived among you shamelessly, he and his parents, after putting us through hell for the past years, numerous cycles of triple full moon that killed a lot of our loved ones, let along with making us live in fear.
For years they breathe, eat,and walk among us ignoring the fact that their son is the one who brought apocalypse to our region, MY FRIENDS ? I AM GOING TO MAKE AND END TO THIS " Rivok yelled to grab attention. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
" THE FIRST THING I AM GOING TO DO AS YOUR LEADER IS TO PUT AN END TO THIS, I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE THE DUNCAN FAMILY IN MY DISTRICT, DO YOU AGREE? "
