Stars of Freedom

Chapter 64: ...But A Star Is Never Truly Alone

Everyone sat back, silence filled the house. A sound of a door opening and closing was the only other sound made. Volk walked into the room.

Volk: So- Uh, you all okay?

Elias: Huh, I mean... I still got some questions.

Volk: Hit me.

Elias: How do you even seem so okay? Was that her Telum breaking?

Volk: Listen, I'm not in a position to show what I am feeling. It's not how I grew up. Yeah, that was her Telum.

Nahe: How did she even get a file on you...? WHY did she even have a file on you?

Kochev: That would be my fault.

Volk looked at him dead in the eyes.

Volk: What does that mean?

Kochev: I worked for your little KGB. The reason I was with you was to see if you really did have any connections to Hel. She was one of the few gods that went rogue, the reason the monstra had been attacking again.

Volk: You know, at this point... I'm not surprised.

Kochev: I was told by Mr. Serdtse himself to back off since we had gathered enough information. That's when I disappeared from there, I was tasked with looking into another potential god child back on some tropical island near the Atlantic Ocean at the time and I needed to get back to on that mission.

Volk: So...if you hadn't spied on me... she wouldn't have talked to me at all.

Kochev: Yep.

He looked at his hand.

Volk: I guess I have to thank you for that.

Nichi: Umm, sorry to interrupt, but... How exactly did you get her Telum?

Volk sight dropped towards the ground, he looked at his hands again.

Volk: I-

"He was back in her room, looking at her smile as he was about to confess something. The two of them standing next to the balcony. He suddenly heard a grown woman's voice. "There you are..." it spoke as the clouds blocked off the sun. Icicles began to fall from the sky, he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer.

His armor began appearing on him as he covered her entirely, the icicles piercing through the building as snow began pouring down. A guard burst through the door, it was Sobaka. He questioned who was in Lisa's positioned until he turned his face towards him. With no time to even react, he ran over to try and escort the two away from the room."

Volk: It's a long story, and I'm not entirely sure myself. I know it has to do with my mother's side of the family.

He clenched his fists as he sighed internally.

Volk: I'll-

"The three of them were running towards an emergency bunker, as they had just come down from another floor. The gathered up snow from the floors above followed them down the stairs, almost like an avalanche. Volk dismissed his armor to be able to run faster and as he was about to grab Lisa's hand to try and help her move, a single icicle burst through the ceiling and hit her in the leg. As she fell, both of them turned around, Volk with his shield and Sobaka trying to help her up. They were both too late as the snow trampled the three of them.

Volk had summoned his armor subconsciously and was buried under the snow. He opened his eyes to see that Lisa had been pushed on top of him. She opened her eyes as well, the two stared at each other for a second before they heard the sound of something moving. It was Sobaka, he had been pushed back as the snow had stopped."
