“What are you, kids?” The Old geezer said in shock while he internally thought, “I thought meeting the purple Phoenix would be one of the greatest things that could happen to me… But the children next to him are even bigger monsters.”
“You’re Alive!” Hyde shouted after hearing the old man’s voice. Sprinting towards him Hyde hugged him.
“Ermm… Kid, I don’t think you should be worrying about me. Look!”
Turning his head around Hyde could see a bloodstained Demios swaying front and back as he struggled to catch his breath. Looking at his heavily injured brother Hyde felt as if his heart was being cut to shreds and with tears in his eyes, he began running to Demios who was slowly falling to the ground with a heart still held in his right hand.
But before he could get there, he could see Miko rush to Deimos’s aid with bloodshot eyes. Having sustained only minor injuries from the battle Miko could tell how seriously injured his brother was as he was losing blood at a rapid pace whenever he punched or even dodged the black-haired man’s attacks.
Holding his dear brother in his hands. Miko and Hyde felt like they were running out of the air as they started panting heavily as they looked at the unconscious Demios.
“Check his heartbeat!” The Old geezer shouted interrupting ever-growing emotions of guilt.
Putting his fingers on Deimos’s neck Miko could feel two needle-like cuts in Deimos’s neck. Suppressing his fear and guilt, Miko moved his fingers up and could see that Demios heartbeat had slowed down a lot, but he was relieved even to be able to feel his heartbeat.
Inspecting his our injuries Miko instantly recalled the scene at his home where Grey was teaching them how to deal with patients who suffered from injuries as Demios had right now.
Gulping a mouthful of salvia Miko turned to face his worried brother and said in a low voice “He’s suffered from mainly blood loss and minor cuts to his right and left arm. We need *Sniff* to get blood ginseng because he’s lost too much blood.”
Taking a deep breath, Hyde replied while ripping off some cloth from his shirt “Take this and wrap them around the places where he is bleeding or did you already forget what father said.”
“No, I…”
“Miko take it and lay him down. Deimos’s life is at risk here.”
“Yeah…”
~~~
Fifteen minutes later Demios was no longer bleeding from his cuts because of the pressure applied by the cloths Miko and Hyde had given him. Making the right half of his body look like a mummy.
Swiping the sweat on their foreheads, the half-naked brothers finally stopped caring for Demios and with bloodshot eyes asked the old geezer “Who did this?”Their anger was resonating in their tone.
“I can’t just tell these monsters that it was them who did it, can I? I’m just going to have to put up a front and tell them once we leave here. I can’t have them breaking down and more of Fiona’s guards coming in as reinforcements.”The old geezer thought.
Puffing his chest up he approached the brothers and said: “Let us go ill explain what happened after we leave this place.”
“NO! Tell us now,” they both said with their eyes fixed on the old geezer’s vital points.
“Scary!” The old geezer thought. Shaking his head to rid of his fears he replied: “The man who did it is already ahead if you want to avenge him we need to leave.”
They stared… For about five minutes with none of them batting an eye till Miko turned to Hyde and said: “Ill carry Demios on my back go and take care of the soldiers left in this building… we will kill that man together.”
Nodding his head solemnly Hyde walked in front of the man opening a door that led to two different staircases and another entry in the middle.
“*Ahem* T-the soldiers should be at the end of the staircases ill go straight ahead.”
“Do they connect?” Miko asked solemnly.
“Y… yes, the staircases connect at the top.”The old geezer said not wanting to meet Miko’s bloodshot eyes as he stared at the door that would lead to his freedom with anticipation and fear. But not fear of the soldiers but the two ‘demons’ next to him.
“Hyde lets go ill be right behind you” Miko firmed his grip on Demios who was being piggybacked by Miko.
“Yeah… make sure you hold on to Demios properly,” Hyde said walking along the left staircase with a solemn expression.
“I know,” Miko said closely following Hyde.
Watching the brothers leave The old geezers white shirt was drenched in sweat patches as he suppressed his fear of the brothers for a quite a while which was quite exhausting for the old geezer.
“Now its time I settled things,” he said slowly walking up to the door that would lead to his ‘owner.’

In the next room, Fiona was sitting at her desk with music booming through the medal shaped object she had previously used to broadcast the fact she had taken the brothers as hostages.
Stretching her body, she tilted her glasses as she stared at the document in her hands with a solemn expression.
Hearing the door being opened she instinctively said: “Igneous you may need to go hunting for that man soon.”
Knowing the man wouldn’t respond she continued” Even though I have his children with me he still stays hidden huh? I guess we should kill such a disgusting man and make use of the children.”
“Why should I kill him?” The Old geezer said suppressing the rage welling up inside of him.
“Since it’s you… It should be fine… He’s taken the bloodstone that my husband died for in our war against the Kemono kingdom,” Fiona replied still looking at the document in her hands.
“So your husband is dead.”
“Yes… Wait! When did you become so talkative?”Putting the document in her hands down she looked at ‘Igneous.’ Jumping out of her chair with a horrified expression she said “G-G-Gabriel!”
“At your service young miss…
