Chapter 118 - One Hundred And Eighteen : The Brewing Storm

"And that's the last of it " Amala said to Daniel who watched as she injected a substance into the intravenous drip hanging on a stand beside a patient's bed.

Daniel sighed in relief while running his hands through his hair. He had just returned from the secret meeting with Asher only to be told of a notably improvement with the patients after the antidote was administered directly into their bloodstream.

"Does that mean this hellish ordeal is over? " He asked, his eyes roaming over the patients on the hospital beds, who now had a healthy glow on their skin.

"Yes probably , but we still have to watch their progress " Amala explained " But there's a ninety percent chance of recovery since the antidote suppresses the virus while giving the patient the chance to heal and as a supernatural , it shouldn't take that long to recover "

She went ahead to place a comforting hand on his shoulder "You've worked hard Daniel, so it's time to take a rest " Amala told him and began to pack her equipments in order to leave.

"How am I ever going to thank you? "

"You don't need to bother yourself Daniel, we're friends and true friends help each other in a time of need " She told him and began to walk towards the entrance when she suddenly added " But if you are really adamant on paying me back, I'll have you notified when I need your help "

Daniel agreed "Alright, no big deal but I'm curious about something "

She looked up curiously "About what? "

"The last time we discussed about this attack, you said the annihilated Burning Eaglet might have something to do with this , what if you're right? "

Amala looked up intrigued "You've had an encounter with them ?"

"Sort of " Daniel nodded

Amala sighed deeply " I've laid a complain in the council but they're becoming big-headed : their influence and success are getting into their head, stopping them from having a clearer picture of what's happening "

A deep furrow appeared on Daniel's forehead " So what are you trying to say? "

" What I'm trying to say is " She fixed Daniel on the spot with an intense gaze " If things go the way I'm thinking right now, then we could have another Purge on our hands and this time there's a huge chance the council might lose "

Daniel shuddered involuntarily, he hated hearing that word 'Purge ' cause his parents had emphasized a lot on that war. They had warned him never to let it happen ever again if he has the power to do so, cause the war takes but never gives.

Moreover if the council loses, then there was a huge problem - chaos and disorder would descend upon the world.

The Burning Eaglet are anarchists who believe in the notion "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth " and would definitely melt out their revenge on supernatural creatures who didn't stand by their side during the Purge.

"Hmm, I see " He breathed before throwing another question " Then, what about Aurelia? Do you believe she's still alive? "

This time , Amala stopped in her tracks, turned and gave him a questioning look " Why are you suddenly interested in all these? Don't tell you really encountered Aurelia? "

Daniel swallowed, was he that obvious? No, he has to be careful else he'll put Lia in danger sooner than he thought.

"Nothing actually " He released a fake laugh " I was just curious about that "

Amala's eyes narrowed down suspiciously on him "Really? Nothing else "

Daniel met her gaze, he knew that look on her face : she didn't believe him. He had to do something, it was now or never

He blurted out "The cubs needs it "

"What? " Amala asked confused

"I've been spending time with the cubs at the pack's childcare recently, I'm trying to ingrain our history into their mind from an early age. But those little creatures are one curious monsters , they ended up asking questions that was way over my head " he lied through his teeth and she bought it.

"That's actually a good thing you're doing here, at lest the kids should have an idea of what happened years ago so when the chips are down , they should be able to make a wise decision using the past history as reference " Amala acknowledged his good works while Daniel was relieved his lie was successful.

She went on "About Aurelia, I can't really tell if she still exists or not, cause her existence has been nothing but a mystery. But if the Burning Eaglet are back, then she must have contributed one or two things to this unwelcome development."

Daniel was more confused " That still doesn't answer my question "

Amala smiled " Don't worry Daniel, your questions will soon be answered by the new Seer "

His brows lifted " New seer? "

"Miranda the old seer has died and transferred the gift to her niece Cassie and though she's still young and inexperienced; the council has been giving her trainings and soon enough she'll be able to see, understand and interpret her visions " She announced and stared straight into Daniel's eyes

"Not long from now, we would be able to know everything about this brewing storm "
