87 Beheading A Serpent (III)

    ''----''

    ''Standing in his new robes

    Apollo gazed into the distance with vacant eyes. His mind seemed to be elsewhere as he took in the environment. It felt surreal—being back where it all started

    ''So I''ll really be going through with my plans huh. From this day forward

    everything is bound to change.''''

    ''A silence followed as he shifted his gaze.''

    ''[Hoh? You have an incoming person and they are fast approaching.]''

    ''''Whoosh!''''

    ''Before Apollo appeared the aged visage of Kayn. However

    in his eyes

    there was no malice but instead curiosity. ''Why is there no reaction now that I''m here? What is this absence of response?''''

    ''The silence remained as Apollo stared into his eyes—the prior turbidity gone from existence. As his interest in the situation piqued

    so did that of the youth''s training. Everyone ceased practicing and focusing on this small interaction between Apollo and Kayn.''
