"Okay then. Just don"t forget that this was your choice and have nothing to do with me. You "wanted to know about this.But before that incident we have to talk about your brother. Tory Alcatraz. Born in 199 at the 18th of June. From a young age was regarded as smarter than his peers. Some even called him a genius. Till they day of his disappearance he had wont countless trophies in a variety of areas. Top of his cla.s.s, good at sports and a gentle big brother. At least this was until he was 13 and the incident happened where he was deemed as dead which you dont believe. Anything wrong?" asked Linri out of habit.
"No" answered Brie quickly. Just why did this guy keep asking for confirmation from her.
"Good. Now from this part on you have no knowledge of the events so I want to remind you again to not cut me as all your answers will be revealed eventually."
Brie immediately nodded her head so that Linri can start talking again.
"After his 13th birthday Tory officially started his magic training where it was found that he had poor apt.i.tude for magic. Tory kept on trying but couldn"t even cast the simplest spells which greatly disappointed those around him. Seeing his previous achievements everyone thought he would be a peerless magician including Tory himself. Alas reality was different from their imaginations. It was a big blow to the young Tory"s pride as he never really encountered any setbacks before and could not accept this and that was when he started to distance himself from his family and start to focus on magic. Still talent was something one was born with not cultivated through hard work. So despite his hard work Tory was not able to cast any spells. That was when he discovered the greatest secret of the Alcatraz family. Demonic ritual. Alcatraz family used to dabble in Dark Arts but as the family grew weaker they stopped dabbling in them afraid that the demons that they were supposed to control would rebel against them since they were too weak. Finding a book regarding the Demonic Rituals it didn"t take long Tory to find the others. Eventually he made up his mind and summoned the first demon that was ever enslaved by Alcatraz family "Baal". After summoning Baal he and Tory quickly came to a deal. As you might have guessed by now the deal was the blood of the Alcatraz family. What you might not have guessed was it was the blood of every member of Alcatraz family. In other words this includes Tory"s children as well if he were to have any in the future. Most importantly this includes you. Because you were lucky you survived that night. Even though you were missing Baal still kept the end of his deal and bestowed magical eyes to Tory. Except they are not as strong as they are supposed to be. Tory can not achieve his full potential until he kills you. So right now he is looking for traces of you in order to complete the deal. His current whereabouts is Autumnfall High school which is at Hanawa. If you wanna confront him you can find him there. Still be advised that he is most likely to kill you then the other way around.
I am done. I don"t want to deal with this so I am going home. Jaime you can find the way back I imagine." said Linri and left a shocked Brie behind.
He still honestly did not think there was any problem with telling her. According to the game they played Jaime and Brie had arrived at Autumnfall to find Tory but at the time they did not know about what happened since Diego had still not created Tory yet. In other words Brie was going to get a lead that was gonna point her to Autumnfall anyway. So why should they keep this a secret instead of telling her beforehand and letting her prepare herself.
Since Linri was angry with her he did not wait for Jaime and simply left. She already knew the address and with her attributes it was hard to find anyone that can harm her. Even though she can not find she could always run.
After he returned home it was about 2 pm so Linri immediately started to practice with his father. Arkady had asked him where Jaime was but Linri had just simply answered him she still had things to take care of and Linri returned early to train.
Today his father had showed the basics of Water stance. It was stance focused on countering your opponent. It"s principles were going along with your opponent just like water following the wind. He had to use his body to slowdown and deflect the opponents strike and afterwards using the power gained from the opponent to hurt him. It was something very hard to achieve and Linri could only imitate his father.
Linri and Arkady stopped their training when it was time for dinner. Linri saw that Jaime was already back and helping Lyra. Linri did not say anything and went to take a shower. After he was done Linri came and joined his family in dinner.
The dinner was as usual. Everything was the same that except the fact that Linri was ignoring the existence of Jaime. Lyra could tell something was up but there was no need to get involved so she didn"t say anything.
Once he was done with his dinner Linri went back to his room just like usual. He still needed find a solution to delivery of his gauntlet.
When it was 8 pm Linri heard a knock at his door. He knew it was Jaime as if it was Lyra or Arkady they would just open the door without even knocking.
Linri went to open the door and it was obviously Jaime. She got inside.
"I wanted to talk about today" while talking Jaime was not even looking towards him but towards the ground.
"Yeah, no need to talk about that. I know I was mistake." said Linri. Jaime lifted her head up and looked at him with surprise.
"Um what?" Jaime did not know how to answer so only these words come out of her mouth.
"Yeah no worries. It was my mistake. I shouldn"t have trusted you as an ally so soon."
