Chapter 183 Not Ordinary People

Raising a brow to Solis' accusation, Obsidian walked over, stretching out his hand so he could carry Luna.

Solis' body glowed, reflecting light and heat as he prepared to attack in a blind rage.

He had not said a word about what transpired, but still, he wants to gain access to his sister?

"Back off!" He sneered through gritted teeth until he knew what went wrong, his anger would continue to blaze.

Lumina casually walked and stopped in between the two. Holding the glare meant for Obsidian.

Even though he didn't understand what was going on, Obsidian scratched his head, hoping to also know the reason she had fainted.

The question asked by Solis could wait, what they needed was to take Luna back to recuperate.

"I don't know what happened to her, but what is needed now isn't that, but rather a place to rest–she's not dead goddamnit!"

The only thing he could remember when he was flung across the forest was the face of Luna by his side. She had healed the wound that he had sustained when a broken tree impaled him in the midriff.

She looked fine when he charged at great speed towards the raenz, there was nothing that could point in the direction that he had done or seen anything wrong.

"Hand her over." Obsidian insisted, stretching out his hand once more.

Lumina looked behind her, angered that Obsidian wasn't going along with keeping shut as planned.

This was someone who was a happy-go-lucky personality, the rare moments he gets angry especially when it comes to his sister was something not worth allowing to linger.

The air felt warm, Luna absorbed as much radiation of light even while unconscious.

"Solis, please calm your nerves." Lumina forced a smile. "As you can see, she is not dead. She's absorbing your radiation, if she absorbs too much of it, you know what might happen."

Looking down at Luna in his arms, his expression turned sober immediately. Regret setting in. "Fine!"

Looking over to Obsidian, he targeted the heat signatures on his body, heating it rapidly.

Obsidian dropped to his knees, his tongue out. His palms were on the floor as he tried to push himself upwards.

Nix's eyes widened, this looked similar to his fire gift evolution. Although this was just a subtle form of what he could do, he was pleasantly surprised someone else had the same affinity for regulating body temperature.

"What is this?!" Obsidian struggled to his feet, feeling weighed by the helpless feeling.

"Solis stop, Luna wouldn't want this!" Luna hissed, looking down at Luna who snuggled into her brother's arms.

Solis gritted his teeth, struggling to calm his blazing thoughts about Obsidian.

"Let Luna wake before you jump to several conclusions." Lumina tried to reason with Solis, "He saved us all from the raenz, there's no way that he would have hurt your sister."

With those words, he reluctantly deactivated his ability. "You got lucky this time."

Obsidian looked at the ground in confusion, never had he experienced what he felt before, nor felt a weakness overwhelm him in such a manner.

Placing his hand on his chest, he let out a sigh as his body temperature slowly normalized.

The grudge Solis still felt resonated on his face, the ability he had used drained a significant amount of energy from him. This would be the seventh time he had tried this but would be the first time he had to exert so much energy to maintain his hold.

If it had lasted a minute more, his hold on Obsidian would be broken, he had to rely on Lumina's words as a cover-up to regain the lost strength from the sun.

His legs wobbled a bit, causing him to lose his balance.

Obsidian dashed just in time to hold onto Solis before he could fall. "Luna..." He offered the suggestion once more.

Solis had a pout on his lips, feeling vulnerable. Shrugging off Obsidian's hand after he got his footing, he reluctantly gave Luna over to him.

"If you so much as lay a finger on her, I would rip those ears and tail off you!" He threatened, his facial expression proving false to his claim.

Deep down he was still scared of the sort of power Obsidian possessed, all he could attribute to his power over him momentarily was luck and perfect timing.

Obsidian looked down at the sleeping Luna, his brows furrowed, he was having his fingers on her.

"I guess we're done here!" Nix cut in, holding up Alex with his arms over his shoulder.

Obsidian nodded his head to Nix's words. They needed to hurry back if they wanted to hide their tracks.

"It's him!" A little girl's voice broke off and got the attention of all.

They looked to their side, confused as to why a little girl would bring another citizen with an ax to this dangerous part of the city.

The male's legs knocked together in fear at the menacing looks of the people in front of him.

Tilting his head at the sight of a blood trail, he let out a yelp at the sight of a head staring back at him.

"A raenz!" He gulped, his ax dropping to the floor and with him dropping to his knees, giving a bow.

If they could kill a raenz, then they weren't ordinary people either.

"Sir, but that's uncle Alexandre, he's the one who saved me. We can't leave him with these people!" She pulled on the male's sleeve.

He was the only one who had offered to help when she had spread the word in the stalls.

Her hopes were dashed by his actions. All she needed was the uncle that had saved her.

"Little girl, go home. Uncle isn't even blood-related to you, so why bother?" Obsidian hissed, he could tell the bloodline was different just by their scents. Turning around and preparing to leave, he felt a hand hold onto the hem of his shirt.
