" Been a while. How is my favorite High Elf doing?" Wesker spoke with a smile on his face, but no one else seemed in a jolly mood.
Their eyes shifted between Wesker and me, and also sparing some glances at Morpheus, who had his black cloak removed.
While it seemed that everybody wanted to say something, not a single person uttered anything. I could see the tense expression where they didn't know what to speak.
" Sir Wesker!" And breaking the silence, a certain young witch ran across, jumping in the arms of Wesker with a tear filled face. Behind her was another girl of similar age, who seemed relieved rather than tense, unlike everyone else.
" Anna. Leena," Wesker patted Anna's head while he looked at Leena, before Morpheus joined in,
" Well. I guess we created quite a scene in all this mess. What are we going to do with this?"
In essence, when I created Wesker and Morpheus, I had two things in my mind.
Wesker would be the mind behind the 'Brothers of Salvation' and Morpheus would be the overlord of the underworld, including, but not limited to, the mercenary world.
Morpheus was made to have connections with any notorious and dark factions, and overtime controlling them from within.
Wesker would be the weak guy with the perfect planning and strategizing mind. He can predict anything and can see almost all things possible. At least that's how he should be portrayed.
Her green eyes reflected her oceanic origin as they contained a slight crystal hue that only those from the sea had. And the green-coloured mana that was slightly visible to the naked eye explained the huge amounts of mana she contained.
Usually mana is transparent... but during certain circumstances where there is an overload of mana, the mana becomes slightly visible. It happens only under two circumstances.
One is where the mana pool is higher because of the death of a higher being or the birth of a God. And the other time is when the amount of mana released by an individual is so high that the surrounding mana gets overloaded.
Such was the person present in front of me.
Irene Campbell. Another one of the monstrous entities on this planet.
Though not as strong as a God, or even a Demi-God, her power level comes right after those. Under the right circumstances where the situation favors her, she might actually take on a God as well... and kill a Demi-God on her own.
If the situation is in her favor, that is.
" You know about me?" Irene smiled with no shred of surprise as she walked towards us.
" Miss Irene?!!" Nvida was shocked to see her here. Her eyes showed pure terror as she took a couple of steps back.
" Don't worry, child. I just came here to take a stroll after hearing all the commotion," she didn't look at Nvida, but Nvida nodded slightly without letting her guard down.
" Is that so? I was pretty sure you were here for me. That's a bummer," I smirked at her, making her chuckle a little. She observed me with a focused gaze, while also looking at Wesker and Morpheus from time to time.
" I was told that Adam, Morpehus and Wesker are the same person... seems like there was a mistake in the information," she spoke as her eyes glowed and she kept checking through the three of us.
" Hmm?"
Wesker spoke in a bit of a confused expression before looking at the sky for a brief moment. Then, after a slight laugh on his own, he spoke.
" Well. Let's settle things down first. We can chat all we want after that. Can you help me out a little here, Miss Risa?"
His eyes fell on the duke's wife, Risa Thompson, who had just reached here with her guards.
