"Victor, why is he wearing Death's engagement ring?" Samantha asked backing away even further.
"Huh!? Aunt Sam what are you talking about?" Victor stepped forward to her.
Sam's eyes suddenly moved from Lenny's to Perseus, and yet again, she looked to be stumped for words.
Even though she was hiding from Lenny behind Moses, she suddenly paused as she stared at Perseus for a while.
Her eyes seemed to become brighter as she stared at him, and in that moment, she felt her heart beat rapidly.
Suddenly, she broke eye contact, "shit! I imprinted!" She whispered lowly to herself. She immediately tried to hide her face from him.
Those were words that Vine heard clearly, and her eyes shone bright with the knowledge of what just happened.
However at the same time, an announcement was made that echoed about the place.
"Participants for the Alpha Selection process should please get ready for the Magic test of the event!"
Sam panicked a little as she suddenly gave her distance.
She nervously backed away.
"I... I have work to do. See you later Victor, and good luck in your tournament. Don't die!" She turned about and raced for the exit.
Effectively rushing out of sight.
Every body paused looking at her in surprise.
She made no explanation and ran off as fast as she had appeared.
Lenny could not help but raise a brow at this.
He did not know what was going on but those woman's words sounded entirely different in his head.
After all, Lenny himself knew the kind of engagements he had had with death.
He had literally died and come from a other world, and now out of nowhere, she was saying that he was wearing Death's engagement ring.
Everyone had their on thoughts on this.
For Vine, she just thought the woman was crazy in the head.
While Moses and Victor carried a more worried expression on their faces, and finally, Perseus, he looked at her and back profile as she ran away and couldn't help but be blown by her presence.
His eyes remained on her through out.
"Forgive my aunty... She is a bit... Mmm DIFFERENT from most people." Victor appologised on Sam's behalf.
"Different?" Perseus asked, his eyes still on her back profile.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "Yes, many rumor that she was born with the Eyes to see the Spirit!"
"Wait, what does that mean?" Lenny asked.
"Well, it means that she can see things she is not supposed to see. She can see points where the Ethereal realm overlaps with ours!" Vine explained.
"Please don't mind what she said, she says weird stuff like that all the time." Moses adviced.
Lenny nodded and they turned to continue on their way.
However, Perseus couldn't help looking back at the exit Sam took again and again.
Surprisingly, she turned in his direction, and the both of them exchanged eye contact one last time.
In this manner, of looking at one another, Perseus lost his sense of direction and walked into an unsuspecting wall.
At least, that was what it felt like to him.
Perseus was not weak. At his level of strength, walking into a wall would result in one of two things.
Either the wall broke apart like biscuit or at least he tripped a little if it was a pillar.
However on contact, he was instantly recoiled backwards.
He did not stop until he crashed against a pillar.
Everyone turned in his direction, and Victor hurried to help him up.
"Are you good!?" Victor asked.
Perseus nodded getting himself up.
However, Lenny walked up to the 'Wall'.
It was actually a big beefy man with the head of a Rhino having two large horns on it's nose.
It was a wonder how he saw his front with those things obstructing his path.
The Rhino man paused and turned to Perseus. He chuckled a bit, "weak!"
One look at him and Lenny did not need Surveyor to know that this man was really strong.
He was a step away into the Deep demon realm in strength.
Lenny had never fought him and could tell that this man would be a tough opponent but he did not back down.
Lenny stopped in front of him, "hey, you hit Perseus! Appologise."
Lenny's words took the Rhino man by surprise.
Meanwhile, Perseus was just getting up on his feet.
The Rhino man turned to Lenny, "what? was that your girlfriend?"
Lenny frowned a bit, an evident sign that some sadistic things he could do to this man we're taking shape in his head.
"I said to appolo..."
However, Perseus suddenly stepped forward, "it's okay Lenny. I can take can take care of this." Perseus stepped before Lenny.
However, Lenny knew that Perseus was not strong enough to face such an opponent, and so he forced his way forward, "don't worry Perseus I'll take care of this," shoving Perseus to the side.
At this time, Perseus turned to see that Sam had gone out of sight. She no longer stared at him weirdly.
This suddenly annoyed Perseus and he turned to Lenny, "what's your deal? I said I could handle it on my own. Just because I agreed to follow you doesn't mean I can't handle my own PROBLEMS!"
This action of his pulled everyones attention to the both of them.
Lenny paused wandering what he had done wrong.
Perseus frowned. He had pulled unwanted attention to them.
He turned and walked away.
Lenny turned to the Rhino man and looked at him with intent in his eyes.
Without saying a word, he turned and walked away.
Surprisingly, the Rhino man did not stop him or say anything.
Then again, fighting was greatly frowned upon within the city.
All battles were strictly for the Arena within the plaza.
Lenny scratched his head, not understanding what had just happened.
As far as he was concerned, Perseus walked away in fear.
This made his urge to kick the Rhino man's ass rise even more.
Lenny stepped forward again.
Vine watching this and having a better understanding of social cues shook her head.
She stepped forward and grabbed Lenny by his hair pulling him away.
