Chapter 51 - who's hungry

The man with the spear who's name was Ezekiel walked over to his teammates who were stood patiently.

"Ren can you affirm that the necromancer is dead?" Ezekiel asked as he walked over.

The green haired man opened his tome and a green force field covered the building as he searched for any remnants of the necromancer soul.

"No, the necromancer, Haymen has fully be vanquished fully. There isn't any possible chance of him transferring his soul into

Since from what I saw he needs a body with isn't housing a soul inside it and a prepared ritual. " Ren explains

"But could he just transfer his soul and stay in a coma-like state. Since it is possible for them to regain their strength by hiding in an unsuspecting victim?" Monica the youngest of the group questioned finally speaking up.

"Oh look at you! Guys look at our la mas joven(youngest), the brain on this one." Sofia the rapier user exclaimed, her foreign accent prominent.

as she hugged Monica from the back to which Monica didn't resist as a smile appeared on her face.

"Sister Sofia please be serious."

"Okay, okay, I'll be more serious." Sofia replied, releasing her hug.

"By the way Monica."

"Hmmm"

"Isn't your old college campus near here or atleast a couple of miles away?" Sofia asked as she searched the building for any abnormal sittings.

"Yes, actually my old campus is near so is the hospital my little brother is staying at. I was going to stop by to see how he's doing."

"Awww! Your brother was soo cute-"

"Thats all we'll and food but can we focus on the mission please?" Ezekiel questioned.

"Fine, my bad I'll do better."

"Done." Ren exclaimed to his team. "The necromancer is gone. His soul isn't in any of the officers and all of them should be able to recover without any issue." Ren offered his explanation, as he placed his had on his chin.

"Something wrong Ren?" Ezekiel questioned. "You have that look on your face that says something isn't right."

Ren looked up at Ezekiel and spoke. " Well for one yhe necromancer didn't seem to be at full strength as he didn't summon any undead. And aside that from what the reports says he had other collaborators, with those being a human hunter, a witch, a vampire, and a werewolf but I don't sense them anywhere near this place."

"Could they have abandoned him?" Sofia probed Ren for further explanation. "I mean they could have hired another necromancer to do whatever he was doing for them."

"Not possible, sister Sofia since they all moved like a team and the report said they were formed quite sometime ago." Monica offered her own thoughts as she walked and noticed a torture chair.

"And judging by the destruction of the factory their was a big confrontation with either a large group and a singular powerful being." She finished as she knelt on the ground."

Inside Astra's home the sound of food being cooked could be heard throughout the manner as the smell travelled into all the rooms waking everyone up.

Cassandra, lason and Bacho were the first three to wake up to the smell.

"""What is the smel!l""" the all said in unison.

They all turned to each-other and stared for a bit before uttering their next words.

"Morning."

"Morning."

"Morning."

The all travelled together to the source of the delectable aroma. And as they did, they reach tall double doors and a mahogany color. The open and what they saw surprised them slightly.

"Morning guys! What some breakfast?" Lazarus questioned as she flipped a perfect cooked pancake onto a stack of them on a plate were numerous dishes were ranging from eggs and bacon, to roasted sausages and freshly cooked toast.

With a coffee that was freshly made and still warm and freshly squeezed juice.

The 3 looked at their dishes and their stomachs rumbled so loudly, you would have thought their was an seismic event accuring. Which resulted in a smile stretching across his face, i can see you guys are hungry so come and eat.

The three immediately sat on the table as they grabbed a plate and began putting whatever they could get.

Bacho immediately grabbed 8 stacks of pancakes and waffles, some bacon and eggs and a large assortment of meats with a glass of OG to was it down.

Lason primary took some scrambled eggs with chicken, some sausage and coffee.

Cassandra just took a breakfast salad with lettuce, tomatos and chicken, a plate if plain fried sunny side up eggs and fresh toast with avocado spread.

Each of them took a bit of their food and ut immediately flipped a switch in their head. They stuffed their faces at record speed trying to eat all the food on their plates.

"Is the food to your liking? Lazarus asked as he wiped his hands with the dish cloth.

""Burp!"" Lason and Bacho let out loud burps while Cassandra wiped her face with a napkin.

"Could you two have manners?" She questioned the two to which, both offered their own answers.

Lason:"Nope. And thanks for the meal Laz."

Bacho:"Excuse me! And thank you for the meal."

Lazarus looked at them with a smile as he turned to Cassandra. He approached as he wiped away some of the leftover crumbs on her lips.

"Cass."

"Hmmm?"

"When your done you mind joining me for a little spar?"

"....Sure, how do you want to do it?"

"After eating we can go to the open field a few miles from here."

Lason stared at his sister and best-friend and immediately saw an opportunity.

"Hay Bacho, could you come with me real quick when your done?" He asked the werewolf, who was still stuffing his face.

"Hmmm, oh sure, what you need?"

"Don't worry it's nothing bothersome." He said as he grabbed Bacho and dragged him outside the kitchen.

Cassandra saw her brother take the werewolf down the hall with a surprised expression. "Hay wait!" Before she could finish Lason ran like his life depended on it as he sprinted further down tha hall.

She turned her head back to Lazarus who was much closer now, too which resulted in a faint nyet noticable blush as she spoke.

"Wouldn't Lason have been a better sparring?" She questioned as she turned her face away.

"Back than, yes but I need someone who'd actually be a challenge for me and there no better challenge the the marvelous woman infront of me."
