Time trickled by, like a patient hunter, Godfrey waited, watching the agents linger around for a while.
When they walked away, probably to change shifts or for a small break, his sclera turned black and he leaped off the tree. The problem wasn’t that he was too weak as he knew not even an Origin Tier was enough to keep him away from Isolde, a girl he had revealed his true potential to make his.
But the implications of a battle could spiral into a bitter end. Godfrey landed lightly on the floor since it could handle sound a bit more than a roof.
Then he leaped to the rooftop, making sure he was extra cautious before creeping to Isolde’s window only to see she had turned her chair towards the window.
Their eyes met. She smirked, her arms crossed while shock first flashed past his face before it broke into a soft smile.
Isolde opened the window, and he came in.
"Agents are in every corner you could think of and you came to Pendragon Island, are you—!" Godfrey lifted up her chin and kissed her.
"You’ve grown bold." She teased only for Godfrey to kiss her again, this time he lifted her off the floor.
Isolde flipped her hair back, her golden-orange eyes lit with a fiery light but in that instant it seemed as if a black knight jumped out of Godfrey’s irises into her face, forcing her head to tilt backward and she faced the ceiling.
Her eyes widened as she saw a knight in a street. Her armour was black and her helmet hid her face but this was the most majestic female knight she had ever laid eyes on.
Her red hair fell like a waterfall. She held a long black spear with two red blades at both ends and pointed a crossbow straight at her.
Before she could even think, the vision flashed out of her eyes and she saw Godfrey looking at her worriedly.
"How many knights do you have?" Isolde asked.
"I just got my seventh one. Is anything wrong?" Godfrey asked, looking at her. He still wrapped his arms around her waist to keep her suspended at his abdomen while her legs went around his back and her arms around his neck for balance.
"I saw something. A black female knight. Your knights are usually golden and crimson in their empowered state so..."
"Black-Out State."
"What?"
"It’s called Black-Out State. They’re able to access their beast abilities in that state." Godfrey explained softly as he brought her down.
"Oh?" Isolde blinked before retrieving a picture. This one had white knights with great quantities of red plume that fell down like hair. Their armour was less bulky as these knights were already massive. They had giant bows made from bones, swords and the most stunning sight of all was their tail!
Godfrey sat down on Isolde’s bed. He recognized those men in robes they were protecting. Those were the alchemists.
"They don’t look like the ones I have."
"Exactly! I thought that maybe they’re among your collection but there hasn’t been a follow up vision after that and just now when we kissed, I saw another knight. With black armour and red hair." Isolde said with an exasperated sigh.
’Is she jealous?’ Godfrey thought as he closely inspected her face. "What’s with the look?"
"Have you seen this knight? She might as well be a goddess of knights or something.... She has it all." Isolde whispered the last one under her breath, wishing this knight was one of Cain’s Fanatic summons.
"Sounds intriguing. Let me check." Godfrey shut his eyes and appeared in his soul space. He really didn’t check for the next door. Solstice chamber was the darkest he had ever seen.
When he got there again, it was the same darkness.
"I need light." The moment he said that, torches lit up, revealing the hall, though it was still dim. It looked like a cave with rough edges and Solstice throne was built into a rock carved to look like a dragon’s mouth.
The knight general approached him with light strides.
"Where is the next door?"
Solstice turned and led him down a cave-like path. At the end, Godfrey met a petrified door with nothing, just lots of runes. It was like someone mistook the two parts of the door for a book and kept writing words that looked like runes on them.
