The event continue raging on. Doesn't seem like it will end anytime soon.
While I'm stuck down here having to clean the splatting mess.
Some more recorgising face enter my vision.
Particulary the person that talking to the leader. It another abyssal depth members.
He doesn't posses any curse from my perspective yet it clear he holding power comparible to one.
How do I know? Simple. Magic act very different from curse, as much as there is similarity there is also a lof of differences. One of the most ovious one, is the fact that magic and curse doesn't mix together.
Creating this fine wave that seperate the two. Like a line that seperate the oceans from each other.
Although he isn't particulary hold interest to me, his name is worty enought to be remember.
But I can't said the same for that person.
Glaring from a far, Mori is deeply eyeing the movement of certain individual closing in on Miss Arlen position
****
Her eyes stay fix to the darkness of the night outside.
Hiding the fact that her finger has been tapping on the table set infront off.
A clear troublesome expression of her might not be catch easily.
But it was quick to be break as unwanted guest approching her.
"It been a while since we meet, miss Arlen".
Hearing the voice her tapping finger turn still. She seems a bit unwanting to meet the eye of that person. But our of politeness and combrandery they had, she finally force herself to turn.
A small sigh left her mouth.
"Mobius".
Her crimsson X pupil fix apon the person.
With the lenght that barely above the table she sitting on,
And old figure with white hair, and wrinkle skin had come to greet her.
Holding a staft and reading lenses the old man, give a somewhat gentle smile.
But cursing flame expression remain unchange from the moment she bat her eyes on him.
"How is the House of Rose? I heard it been lifely there".
The way she stare at the old man, it clear the two isn't in great connection.
"Ohh don't get too heated up miss, I am nothing but an old man. I'm sure everything is doing well"
She finally open her mouth, in a way that seems she is bewilder by his statement.
"If that appearance of you can fool people that easily, you would have got away with everything you had ever had do".
The old man left a chuckle before continuing.
"You seems trouble. Has the information I provided found any use to you".
She relucted to said it but it indeed come in much handy than what she had initially aspected.
"... Yes.. it did.. much to my suprise, I manage to find what I'm looking for with the information you provided"
"Then that is a great news, the kidnapped child is aspecially unique in which you had come to cerish a lot of them"
She isn't showing it at the moment but there is a clear hatred in her eyes.
".. have you come to term of my proposal?"
It not something that she would ever it bring up in their conversation. He already knew the clear answer to the proposal. Yet his persistance know no bound.
So this time she decide it time for her to attack back.
Turning away this time, her eyes fix on the silver plate infront of her.
"Putting those aside, how is your expedition going?"
Those word certainly strike a nerve as the wrinkle on the old man deepen.
"I heard a rumor your team got a major break throught on the latest expedition.. oh of course I do not know the detail, but from knowing you, failure isn't exactly your thing"
The old man stay in place clearing holding in his emotion, yet a creeping smile follow.
"You know me way to well, Miss Arlen."
A clear satisfied look is on cursing flame experession.
The old man took his staft and turn to the side looking at the rest of the ballroom.
" I was hoping to meet Cierge today, but it seems she had left early, dealing with her trivial matter. We have a lot to discuss about, mainly about her mendling in my business".
She raise her everbrown, before turning her head to the window once more.
"oh?.. that is none of my concern now".
She was hoping their conversation end at there but Mobius seems like he had something else to said.
"Speaking of rumor, there is one, that been gaining in popularity... and it might gain your antention"
She sit motionless straighing the darkness outside, showing little to no interest.
"Someone had take interest in you lately."
She speak brifly.
"Then that person is ludicrous"
And just like that the two went on their own business.
***
Nothing much really happend after, as the grand event come to a curtain call.
Tonight I gain a lot more insight that what I had aspected.
Completely exausted from the cleaning after, I lay motionless on my bed.
This time the morning ray had come to greet me.
I think the next step is pretty ovious, in order to get closer to miss Arlen, I must do it.
May it not allign with my usual interest, it the only way.
"Time to climb the ranking it seem"
And my goal is the sit of abyssal depth member.
