Chapter 088 – Trust
[2009 – August]
“So Jean agreed to help Selene eliminate Apocalypse?”, Emma asked with a serious tone as soon as I had taken a seat in one of the armchairs before her large desk.
Nodding heavily, I didn't say anymore, my thoughts still plagued by unwillingness and a bit of self-doubt. I was angry at myself for not being able to kill the immortal mutant myself, however unreasonable that may have been.
Obviously, I understood that I had just c...

Chapter 032 – Friend
[April – 2008]
It only took around fifteen minutes to get there and find a quiet spot on an empty park bench, where I decided to make use of the Golden Tear's effect as I opened my violin case and grabbed the delicately crafted instrument.
Setting it in place in the crook of my neck, I closed my eyes and started to gently move the bow across the strings, drawing a soft and somewhat sad melody from the violin, the tunes causing my heart to settle down...

Chapter 031 – Innate Trait
[April – 2008]
I was awakened from my trance by the sound of the bells ringing, which also caused me to notice the half-a-dozen teenage girls peeking into the music room by the door, though they fled the moment they saw me looking at them.
Still, I was pretty sure I saw at least two of them filming me with their phones.
Sighing to myself, I put away my violin and grabbed my school bag and the spears, though I realized that I really wasn't...

Chapter 087 – Unique
[2009 – August]
It had taken a mere instant for Jean to realize that something must have happened during Elijah's trip with Emma when she had seen the look in her love's eyes, the shadow flashing by his viridescent gaze being hint enough for the observant girl.
Still, she trusted Elijah and knew he would tell her about it eventually, so she didn't even think to pressure him into answering her inquiry.
Feeling his warmth on her back, his large h...

Chapter 086 – Promise
[2009 – August]
The shock and fear from having been seen through didn't really last for more than a few moments, but as the Dark Priestess looked at the young mutant that had put her at such a disadvantage, she froze in her seat.
Vibrant green being devoured by abyssal darkness, Elijah looked at her with eyes that had lost all light and colour, leaving behind nothing but two orbs of blackness.
The psionic energy around him lashed out in overwh...

It took Sona a few moments to return to her senses as she gritted her teeth lightly and addressed Akira again.

His questions had exposed him.
The longer she spoke with Elijah, the more relaxed Selene became after she realized that his visions hadn't shown him much at all, his questions exposing his lack of knowledge without fail.
From her initial trepidation to interact with someone that had the ability to look into the past and possibly the future, Selene understood that this might be the opportunity that she had been looking for a...

"How much do you know about the Externals?", Selene questioned as soon as they all had taken their seats, and while her voice and expression were calm, her mind wasn't as calm as she tried to portray.
She knew that this conversation could either result in her getting the help she needed to take down Apocalypse, or it could end with her making even more enemies for herself, this time ones that she had barely any no knowledge...

Preparing an early dinner consisting of a fresh salad and some stew from the day before, I quickly ate and took a shower, using a push of Dragon Aura infused with the fire attribute to dry myself off afterward.

Selene was one of the first mutants, to be exact she was an immortal variant of a mutant known as External, of which existed nine to my knowledge with En Sabah Nur being one of them, who was also otherwise known as Apocalypse.
She was a 17.000 years old sorceress and her magical might was great enou...

And while he said that it...

The ability to shield himself from temporal interference was incredible, and the Phoenix knew that Elijah had truly embarked on his journey toward eternity.
