Chapter 44 - Eva's Past



"There is no one around us. We do not need to be afraid of a sneak attack now. So then, what is the story? Why is it that your sister is working with this Marquess? I am not in the mood for excuses.", he stepped closer.

Michael came in front of him and shoved him back.. "Give her some space. What is wrong with you? Where is the human part of you?"

"Tell her to speak goddamn it. We do not know who we are up against. Isn\'t that concerning to any of you? Do not think that we are omnipotent. We are still mortal. We are just the Gods\' side of things. The devils of the world are not as miserly as the gods when they give their apostles powers. There are many who can kill us in the right conditions.", Lucas shouted as he looked towards the rest of the members. "Just look at that thing that we saw downstairs. Do you think that is an easy foe? It might be slow but I know that I am not the only one who sensed a person in there."

"Calm down Lucas. We do not even know if Meredith is going to be a big threat.", Praneeth spoke softly.

"She is.", Eva suddenly said. Her head was lifted up, and everyone could see glistening tears on her eyes. "She is going to be a big threat, and she is out for blood."

"There. See? Looks like I am not insane.", Lucas pointed with both his hands and turned around with frustration. "Well then. What is the story here?", he asked.

Eva took a deep breath. "She is older than me. First born in an old line of banshees, she was bound to be well raised."

"Banshee? I thought that you were a druid.", Mu Chen interrupted. Lucas glanced at him coldly, and he stepped back immediately. "Nothing.", he said.

Eva looked at him once and continued her story. "Meredith was a genius, but the moment I was born, she was, well, not as well treated. I was more talented, and I had a much better affinity with runes and divinity in general. Our mother wanted to pass on her powers as Banshee Queen to me, but my sister learnt of the decision beforehand. She killed my mother and stole that power from her. With her as the Banshee Queen, my own powers decreased drastically. I wandered around hiding from her and fell upon the forest of myths. That is where Oriana blessed me with this new power.", she paused.

"Wait, all this doesn\'t explain. Why is SHE the one out for blood? She only profited from all this.", Michael asked.

"What do you mean? I just told you the abridged version. Of course, she suffered. For twenty years! She was discarded, and such a person in a family where even children were viewed as tools, was not an easy life.", she said, speaking heavily.

"Well said indeed. Not an easy life? Easy for you to say. It was hell!", a cackling voice came from around them.

All of them turned around to the source of the voice. A woman with features strikingly similar to those of Eva\'s was standing clad in a black feathered gown.

Eva staggered as she got back to her feet. She looked at her with trembling hands. Lucas glanced at her once and knew immediately that Eva would be the worst person to face Meredith. He glanced at Mu Chen but shook his head.

"Praneeth. You are the best person to face someone like this. I hope that we can leave it to you.", he whispered to Praneeth.

"What are you talking about? When Eva is right here, finally with the opportunity to take revenge, why would you do something like take that chance away from her?", he asked.

"What do you mean? Look at her! She is not even in fighting shape. She didn\'t want to come here in the first place.", Lucas scoffed.

"That does not mean that you can rob her of this chance.", Praneeth shook his head. He then looked at Meredith.

"I see that you have traces of Apophis within you. Have you ever come into contact with someone who has taken an artefact of such descent? No. this is worse. You have come in contact with his Apostle. Lucas, this is trouble. We need to stop this Marquess person immediately, or we are in trouble.", all of a sudden, Praneeth\'s face turned ugly.

"Keke, You learnt that far too quickly.", Meredith cackled.
