Interlude
Sounds of footsteps can be heard across the hallway. The walls of the mentioned hallway are lavishly designed, at a glance one can tell the owner of the mansion is very wealthy. The lamps on the wall are also well designed and seem expensive which gives light just enough to see everything around.
The man walking is wearing clothes similar to what wealthy people wear. He wears an expensive looking grey jacket to protect from the cold – actually, it is an expensive jacket. He's also wearing black pants and red slippers and walks straightly with confidence. He has short golden hair and red eyes.
When he reached his destination he stopped at the door then inhaled deeply. After that he opened the door to the living room, inside he saw a man sitting on the couch. Then he smiled after seeing a familiar face.
"Vincent! How are you boy?!" The man said and stood up from the couch then spread his arms.
It was an old man with a long white hair reaching his neck and a short white beard, and also he has red eyes. He wears a dark blue jacket to protect against the cold, black pants and brown shoes.
"Good evening Uncle Frederick, my life's still good. It's been a long time since I've seen you."
Vincent closed the door then walked forward and sat on the couch opposite to Frederick.
"Yes, it is indeed been a long time. Not a lot has changed since the last time I was here." Frederick said while looking around.
"So what brought you here?"
"Of course I came here to see you kid!"
"Of course…When I heard you were here, I didn't believe for a moment. You look older now uncle."
"Hahaha! Time will do that to you."
"Hehe. Your right, oh yeah I ordered Edward to bring us a bottle of wine to make this reunion more enjoyable."
"That's great! It's been a while since I get to drink an expensive wine. It is expensive right?
"Yes it is. It's one of the finest in the house."
Suddenly there's a knock on the door.
"It's got to be him. Come in!" Vincent said.
An old man entered the room with white hair, white facial hair and black eyes. He was carrying a bottle and a pair of luxurious glasses on a metal plate.
"Here is the bottle of wine and a pair of glasses you ordered me to get, Sir."
Then he put the bottle and glasses on the table between Frederick and Vincent.
"Thank you Edward."
The butler bowed and left the room.
"He looked well. But impressive, he's still serving your family." Frederick said.
Vincent opened the bottle and filled the pair of glasses. He then handed a glass of wine to Frederick.
"I'm lucky to meet someone like him. He's been serving my family since dad and also, he chose to stay after dad died from the assassination sent by dad's enemies. He also took a very good care of me after mom died from a disease."
"Damn assassins, soon I'll find the ones who killed my brother." Frederick clenched his hands in anger. Having to finally relax he said, "That aside, how old are you now?" Then he drank a bit of the wine from the glass.
"I'm 28 now uncle."
"28 huh? You should now find a girlfriend Vincent, and make her your wife, or you'll grow old alone, haha!"
"Oh please uncle, I still don't have the time for that. Also I still have to adhere to the family's duty."
"Really now? Hmmm, is that why you were training your whole life?"
"Yes, training has been worth it. I got to use my innate gift to its full potential."
"Holy magic inherited from your dad, right? A magic that can use the power of the light. Because of your training, you got to be the most powerful magic caster in the world. The one who reached the power level of 50, and plus you reached it in such a young age."
"50 is outdated, uncle. I am now level 55."
"That's quick!"
"I have to get strong, and you know why."
"Oh that reminds me, I also came here to talk about that."
"Really? Why would you want to talk about my family's duty?"
"Our family's duty Vincent, I'm on your father's family side so I'm also a part of the duty."
"Oh, of course."
"Alright, how is the artifact? Are you keeping it safe and guarded?"
"Of course uncle, it's inside the vault and it's guarded by earth golems."
"Good, also I came here to tell you to prepare yourself Vincent."
Vincent furrowed his brows in curiosity.
"Why is that?"
"The hundred year cycle is nearing its end."
Vincent's eyes widened feeling a little surprised and not for long, his eyes returned to normal.
***
For centuries, Vincent's family bloodline has been leaders to protect the world from powerful and evil creatures. It is said that every 100 years or more, creatures with extraordinary and tremendous prowess comes to the world. Said creatures were ravaging the lands and almost destroyed the world. The first ever creature to come was so powerful, not even the greatest warriors and sorcerers in the past were able to defeat it. Thus, they created an item to go against these monstrous creatures. They created the item through long and various magic rituals until they succeeded. Then with the help of the joint forces of the world, they succeeded in eliminating the creature.
Every century, creatures with tremendous power appears anywhere in the word. Thus, for centuries Vincent's ancestors are the ones to stop such creatures, that's because the item are kept by them. His ancestors and with the help of certain people, no creatures were successful to completely destroy the world. Also, some creatures were not even able to show themselves to the world because of the legendary item. In contrast, being the leader of the protector group, also because of their Business Company and the support of political members of the group, Vincent's family has been very wealthy.
***
"Is that so? Do not worry about me, I am fully prepared now. I already have powerful individuals to help me when the time comes."
"Really? Then you're going to be fine. Also don't forget Vincent. As a member of the Spero family, I am always here to help you."
Vincent smiled to Frederick.
"I won't forget uncle."
"Good, now then let's talk about something else. We can't keep talking about the duty when after a long time we finally met again."
"Then let's talk about the time when you were gone. Tell me about your vacation."
"Hahaha, well I –."
