Chapter 55:

The Error and Quantyan (2/3)

The Zypher: The Four Season


Macro used his soul manipulation powers to take control of the purgists ships and clench them before throwing them to remains of Zhanthal, Azriel could see sadness in the man's eye, as if looking at the planet was enough punishment for him, "well..." Macro snapped back to reality and continued with the story, "as I was taking Cal on my mission, I was easy to learn that he was a dangerous one... even as a baby, I entered in the palace where the Politician named Zen was going to be there, Cal had oddly went missing from my backpack until I found him... being adored by most of the girls... can you believe that? I swear the ladies eyes were locked onto Cal all the way and it was that moment where I said, 'ladies... If you're so attracted to this kid, do you mind keeping him company until I come back...' they immediately snatched him off my hands and started to tickle him... I was too busy on my mission to realise that Zen had already been assassinated... I didnt see the killers my face yet as he was wearing a black Cape, he made his way out of the palace until I came to a horrific truth... it was my brother... he told me that Zen's death was necessary, I was too furious to realise that someone had kidnapped Cal... I was knocked unconscious..." They all looked at Macro with dead eyes, "man for a soul bending reaper, you really suck at 'being active in battle' ..." Macro agreed with them and continued the story, "anyway, I woke up to find most of the Palace destroyed by a demonic force, I went outside and saw it looked like a child, his face was covered but he had unimaginable powers, he was able to manipulate the four elements... fire... water... earth... and air... I can tell you that whoever it was... boy was he powerful, he saw me and attacked me... I was able to dodge most of his attacks but... he had me cornered... I was weak back then as I am weak now... I had to think of something and that came into my head... I would use the Zhouls." They all stopped Macro as they questioned if he said souls or Zhouls.
Cal: Souls?
Macro: No Zhouls!
Erika: Souls?
Macro: No not Souls, Zhouls!!
Erin: Souls? As in the spirit of the dead?
Macro: Its like that but it's not Souls, its Zhouls!!!
Azriel: This is confusing... we're saying Souls but you say it's not but when you say it, it sounds the same to ours...
Macro: ITS ZHOULS!!!! Z-H-O-U-L-S!!! Different words, same pronunciation!!!
"Ooh!!" They all said in Unison.

"Anyway!! After I activated the Zhouls, it meant that my body had to reside in someone, I chose Cal, after that, It went black for 2 years. After what happened to the Order... I ensured Cal was safe but knowing him, he couldn't get out of trouble, it was that point where I had to learn how to still use my powers... but in a childs body... it was so long since I could feel my muscles... it feels like I was given a robot suit and I was told to get use to it... I would be accepting of what happened and during my imprisonment... Okay! My TIME trapped in Cal's body, I realised something that hinted to Cal was the Lost Child... I had that strange sense in my body that was telling me that the boy who attacked me was Cal... but at the same time, it wasnt... I'd rather not talk about it." The box started to glow light blue where it beamed onto Macro and was transferring some sort of energy, the box would later turn into a plate that looked to be a map, whereas Macro felt stronger than he did before... "(breathing) what ... was that? It felt... WILD!!! I dont know how to describe it... it was like... WOW!!!"

"45 minutes until you reach your destination." A symbol started to burn into Macro's body, it was showing 3 squiggly lines and it was coloured white. "What do you think this means?" Macro spotted the map and picked it up, "I think we have to find the other puzzles." Cal asked, "But if we're going after these puzzles, then how are we able to solve them? I mean we dont even know how you managed to solve it..." They all agreed to Cal's statement, "whoever I did it... means that you all must find the answers yourself... (spacing out) ... oh sorry! (Breaths) it felt amazing... but it felt terrifying... so much power was embedded onto me, it gifted me the power but it sent a warning in my brain... still I suggest we focus on reaching to Androes first... then we can deal with the remaining puzzles... however many there could be..."

Macro took control of the ship and examined the map to see any sort of clue, while the others were bored out of their mind then, an idea came to Erin, "Hey Azriel... you been stuck in that ice for 15 years right? Can we hear the story of how you ended up there?" Erin played smart and was going to learn more about Azriel.
