Siva (Volume 5) The Eyes of Origins

Chapter 26: Fates Tied by Destinies

Chapter treat!

I wrote this chapter and felt that it was too epic to be cut in two so I wrote it as full and as contenting as it is on its original planned version on the blueprint.

Hope you like this chap and VOTE for it!

Chapter 26: Fates Tied by Destinies
================================

There were five youths beaming wide grins full of excitement, one gold-red silk-and-blue-regal robed man wearing a frown, a familiar nemesis, and an old man with greyish white hairs sipping a tea and wearing a nonchalant face was in front of Siva.

All nine of them were in a room upstairs of a rundown building, in a pause of awkward silence because of a very weird question that their guest had asked.

"Who are the people you're in-debt to this time?"

At first, Garin felt that this was an awkward question but as soon as this was asked, the old man's hands trembled as he lifted his blend-cup with raging waves inside of it into his mouth.

But that wasn't the only reason for this awkward silence, the biggest reason was actually the identity of the guest in their midst.

"C-Come on now, young man, is that how you treat an old friend?"

When the old man, the leader of the large party, said this, the regally dressed ___-aged man who seems to exude an air of servitude despite his royal attire had his brows twitch two times before calming.

The five youths giggled and chuckled as they secretly made fun of the word 'old' that old man Janus had just spoken.

This made the regally dressed ___-aged man turn his head in a snap and glared like a father to the five youths who became startled as they scram in five directions away from the room.

Seeing this, Garin who was on the other side of old man Janus could only sigh as he was already getting used to this scene that almost happen everyday.

While the five youths were being chased around by their guardian, Janus, Garin, and an unmasked Siva, was back to their silent three.

Siva, who felt relaxed exposing his Black Smoke Skin, was as hideous as he could get. His skin was radiating this thick aura of smoke that vanishes as soon as it made contact with the air while even though he still wore his long sleeve polo and black slacks like a man in formal wear, his hair that he didn't even mind brushing up were falling at the sides of his face that gave his eyes a feel of a sinister criminal.

In fact, even though the outline of his face could be discerned in close proximity, the fact that even the darkness of his shadows can't be seen were evident.

Garin thought, "It hasn't been that long since we last met but I feel like there are a lot of things that had changed in him."

Siva kept on staring at the old man as he tried to strike a conversation.

In fact, he felt really happy seeing a familiar face. And even though it can't be seen in his face for he was cursed, it was still the truth that seeing a familiar face after all that had happened made him glad.

Teasing the old man was just his way of showing it and for Janus, given his real identity of course understood where this sense of loneliness is coming from.
