Bion stared at the empty space in front of him. Shaking his head he sat back down in the chair. He couldn’t figure out where he went wrong with his sons. One was a drunk who wanted him dead, the next didn’t acknowledge the fact that he was his father…and Radien spoke to him but hated having to be around him just the same.
Yeah he really was father of the century.
“Don’t worry old friend. He knows you mean well…in your own egotistical way that is.”
Bion’s attention instantly went towards the golden doors of the Great Hall. He couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at the tall and athletic figure standing by the doors. Leaning against the wall his intense eyes were focused on Bion and where he sat.
He pushed himself from the wall and with his hands folded behind his back he gracefully walked over to the table where Bion sat. Their gazes locked the entire time.
“”Rasai.” Bion greeted his old friend with a curt nod. Leaning back in his chair with his hands folded on the table, one leg crossed over the other. “What brings you here? I haven’t seen you in a while.”
Sighing Rasai eased his way into the chair. “Yes. I’m afraid it has been a long time since we last spoke. My apologies.”
Nodding his head Bion spoke. “I take it you know about Iraon.”
“What are you planning on doing about him? As you well know this time is not the same as the last.”
Bion remained silent his stare locking on to Rasai’s. Of course he knew this time was different…he wished Rasai would tell him something usefull like how to permanently kill the beast. That would be great news for him.
He didn’t know what he was going to do. Apparently Rasai didn’t know either judging by the stone frown that was on his face.
Not being able to stand Rasai’s intense stare any longer Bion rose from his chair and began an anxious pace near the table. Raking his hand through his hair, his mind worked for some type of solution to their long time problem. “What of the weapons?”
“The Minori Weapons…are you thinking about them using them to defeat Iraon?”
Yes. That was exactly what he was thinking. “That is the only option I have come up with.”
“What of Radien’s mate? Is she not a factor in this battle?” His tone was even as he watched the old power pace the room anxiously.
Bion’s pace slowed then stopped all together as his shocked expression focused on Rasai. He started to ask how he knew about Melody but then again Rasai was the keeper of all dreams, except for the beast of The Trio, Gazini had made sure of that.
There wasn’t a lot that could get past him.
“No she isn’t.” Bion finally answered.
“Why not? Are her powers not yet showing?”
Frustrated Bion stopped pacing and sat back in his seat, his heavy body connecting hard with the strong steel of the chair. “They just mated, I don’t think she even understands the war she just put herself into.”
Rasai studied Bion for a moment before he spoke. “You have come to care for the Trinitymate.” It wasn’t a question, but a matter of fact statement that Bion chose to ignore.
“Are the weapons safe?” Bion asked.
“Of course, nothing can get into my temple unless I say so.”
“Then we can use the weapons against him.”
“I suppose so. I am not completely sure. Those weapons were made for The Trio…There is no guarantee that they will work against them…” Rasai paused. “I suggest you prepare the female for battle…and your son as well. They are your only sure weapons as of right now.”
Bion had figured as much. He really didn’t want to place Melody in that kind of position, a position he knew she wasn’t ready for. “Either way we need to get those weapons.”
Rasai nodded his head in agreement as he stood from his seat.
“Rasai…” He called before he culd vanish. “Are you attending tonight’s event. I am sure Anima would be more than happy to see you…It has been so long since she has last spoken to you.”
A slow smile appeared across Rasai’s face as he bowed and vanished from the room…
