Chapter 7

Our primary goal is to find the Heavenly Light staff and seize its beholder.We're to rule this world but we need to stop those standing on our way.We're superior to everyone,we're next to god.We create future,our way is the future.Yesterday has died,tomorrow is ours.

Dark Owls footsteps echoed in the empty silent hall.It was dark,with just a few torches lit up.He was hiding his hands in his sleeves so none oculd see him clenching his hands together so hard his palms were white.Dark Owl was a tall man,he got his name from his black hair and sky blue eyes that about saw everything.He had the talent to see through people,scan their souls like they'd be out handed to him on a tray.He was frustrated with his soldiers,frustrated with time.With everything.He was angry at Viper for laying his hands on Carmina.He screamed loud in his mind,he didn't even know the girl and yet he felt like he'd had known her forever!Dark Owl hurried his steps and his robes caused a creepy shuffling sound.

Finally he reached his destination.He put his hands into hei pockets and pulled out a key dor the door he was standing behind.Quickly he looked around,none was around.He unlocked the door,took a torch from its hook and stepped in locking the door behind him.Dark Owl looked around and instantly saw what he was looking for,an old box made of iron.He used another key to open it and removed the covers.It was dar so he didn't see at the bottom of the box,he lift the torch to see in better.Light shimmered at the edge of the most perfect sword made by men ever.Dark Owl lift it up and adored it in the light.It had belonged to his grand grand grand dad.His dad didn't want it,he had his own weapon,even more leathal than a sword.He left the small chamber and locked the door tightly after him and placed the torch back to its hook.

"You must die"

Dark Owl walked back to where he came from,he knew the caves like his pockets after he'd been living there for years.It's was the rear hand of the Clan,a back up hand called in if something didn't go the way it was planned.

He was going to pay a little present to Vipers chamber,Dark owl knew that he'd propably have a late night guest but he didn't care.He stepped into Vipers chamber like it'd have been his own,well the caves were his after all.He stood in the door way and saw something rapidly disappear under the covers.

"Hey!"Viper yelled."We were..."

"I want her to leave,now"Dark Owl spoke quietly but the sharp edge in his voice made it demanding and the pale scared woman sneaked out of the bed,took her clothes and disappeared even without dressing up.This one wasn't as bad as the others Dark Owl had seen he thought.

"Get up and gather your men.Meet me at Grand Hall in a quarter.I have something to share.Don't be late."

Dark Owl hated the caves,he wanted to go out again.see the sun and smell the fresh air.He was fed up with the stinky smell of the caves all the dust and darkness.But he loved the sound of battles,the sound of metals hit,the warm blood quishing from wounds to his hands.He sensed the time for something bigger coming son and he didn't plan to waste it in the caves,he wanted to see it.Be a part of it,make it happen.

Dark Owl was sitting at the end of a long table at the Grand Hall,tapping his fingertips on the big oak tree table waiting for Viper to show up.He didn't like people to be late.It drove his impatient nature mad.Most of Vipers soldiers had arrived,some of them were propably too drunk to come and had passed out hours ago.Finally Viper appeared,hair messed up wearing dirty pair of clothes.Dark Owl raised eyebrows in question.Viper looked away and cleared throat loudly.Dark Owl looked at him amused but also in disgust,how he despised this man!He crossed his fingers and took a motionless face.

"Glad you finally joined us Viper.Be seated."

Viper looked at him but didn't say a word and sat down to an empty seat.

"Why are we here?Why do you bother us at this ungodly hour?"Viper asked with an edge in his tone.

"First of all I want you to remember who is in charge here and who I am.You have no authority over me here or anywhere.What I say is unless Lord Matic says otherwise.I wont be tolerating the kind of behaviot you performed today,I have killed men for less resons than that.Don't cross the line again and send your men to me telling me you're about to kill yourself to recieve pity,I don't have any to share.Did i make myself clear?"Dark Owl looked directly at pale Viper who nodded remaining quiet and pulled out the sword he got earlier and placed it on the table in front of him.

"I am assuming you and your soldiers are leaving when the night comes again.I am coming with you."Soldiers around him were mumbling and Viper moved in his chair uneasily."Silence!"He yelled at his men and then looked at Dark Owl,he didn't want him to come.That spoled brat born with too much power,not earned the way he did.Just being a son of the Lord Matic was enough to gain all the power Dark Owl had.Viper cleared his thoat.

"Sir,is it wise for you to leave the Owls Nest?Your posotion here..."

"I am coming wiht you,it's been while since I met my father the last time and I have issues to share with him in person.Issues that will need his attention.I don't trust messengers on this.It's a long journey and always is a possibility that they get killed.I am going to deliver this myself."Dark Owl stood up "Do you have somehting against this?"

"Naturally not Sir"Viper said and gestured his men to stand up aswell as he did too.

"Good.I will join you when the sun sets."Viper and his men bowed their heads as dark Owl took his sword and walked out of the Grand Hall with a faint smirk on his face.He went directly to his chamber to get ready for his trip.
