His eyes opened swiftly revealing everything in sight which frightened Luke as this place was to strange.
He was in a room which was strangly frightening with every sympton of isolation.
It already gave an idea that this place was abandoned a long time ago. Darkened with broken chair and table scatter all over the place, with a unbroken bed which was hard to recognize if it was bed due to dust layered upon it.
The place radiated gloominess which would install anxiety inside anyone.
Luke still imagined that how could a silhouette disappear withing a couple of seconds when there was no space, crack or any place in the street to escape.
Luke already was already aware and had discovered that he was kidnapped as he was stuck to a chair rooted with a thick and long rope.
He was certain that the objective of the kidnapping was money as Luke was renowned as a millionaire.
Then the hollow and gloomed room echoed words of a conversation which seemed to materialize between two people.
Then they appeared by pushing off the broken door of the front side of bed.
Both seemed to be a gentleman who were dressed in same code. A long black coat with little variation and design of crimson over it with a magician's hat over them. They looked ethical and radiated bunch of energy which was inconceivable by Luke.
The fear elevated as they marched towards him who was knowing that he will be asked his contact but he was astonished by the words which came next.
"I am sorry for my friend's actions. I told him to bring you ethically but he instead devised to bring you here forcefully..." Apolozised one.
"But I thought that why would a young bpy agree to come over with a complete strange who he would have only known for some seconds." Interrupted the other who was not accepting his mistake.
"But what was even the cause?" Asked Luke who now was a little certain that they were not gonna harm him by their words and took him here for some work.
"So polite of you to instantly concwive us as your friends. But it actually is the truth that you haven't been brought here for asking money or all other types of crap that kidnappers do but for a higher purpose which could only be fulfilled by you." Said the first, who now seemed wise to Luke.
"I apologize for my deeds as it was a unethical and quite rude to bring a guy to whom you wanna talk, by kidnapping. I admit my mistake." Apologized the other.
"But if you really wanna talk with me then atleast free me because it is not comfortable and hurts." Replied Luke.
"How foolish of me! I will surely free you." Ssid the other one who seemed a kind of foolish to Luke, as he untied the rope which stuck Luek to unconditioned chair which seemed unused from a long.
Are they really for talking to me or are they trying to trap me into a plan for their undiscovered objective? It doesn't seem that they really are thre for just conversing with me. But let's give them a try and if it turns out that they are trying to fool me then, I already have mastered martial art and then the fight begins.
Luke stood up from the chair and rubbed and cleaned his back on which dust layered.
"Come with us. This place isn't suitable for our conversation. Too dirty, but the place where we are gonna head will be a clean one." Said the other one.
"How many actions will you exude to tell that you are a stupid guy, he already knows. You should introduce yourself before conversing!" The wise one apprised.
"Oh ya! Sorry, I am Julian Ashford and this wise colleague of mine is Sebastian Valecrest."
"And I am Lu..." Tried to say Luke but got interrupted.
"Luke, we know that, we know everything 'bout you." Interjected Valecrest.
What? Knows everything, everything 'bout me. This seems strange. This seems fishy. Why would somebody even try to know or follow other guy.
"Don't think it's fishy. You don't need to, and we do know everything about you because you are one of the saviours of this planets but you don't know your power still. Come with us, we'll tell everything." Stated Valecrest.
What!!!? Impossible, he knows what goes through my mind!
"This is a ability of mine. A kind of what you say powers. Don't be astonished, as you'll get familier to it once introduced to our world."
This astonished Luke completely as he had now was not even beleiving what was happening. It was like those manga and comics he used to read.
Am I dreaming?
Arose a doubt which was completely fair to pop up in mind as it could only happen in dreams.
So that's why for clearing his doubt he pinched himself and it felt.
"Don't try to hurt yourself. It's not a dream nwither you are imagining things and you'll get familier to it once you immerse into our world of aether and energy all kind of craps what you once have read in books. So stay patient and come along the path we are guiding." Notified Julian.
Then both paced through the room and penetrated out and were followed by Luke who's curiosity arose with fear which was quite a contradiction.
They were now marching in the corridor with doors along the sideways of it with a crimson dirty carpet lying on the floor on which they were advancing.
With the look of the house it seemed that was a haunted place for the others which was-in Luke's thought-being used by these both magician or some powerful beings to stay covered from the world.
They stopped on the elevator, opened it and advanced inside it and closed it and pressed upon the button which had A symbol upon it which surely was ground floor.
Although the elevator didn't, through, it's look gave a idea that it could be used, it was smooth and this told that what you see is not always true.
They reached the floor which was being destined.
The door opened slowly with full suspense which thrilled Luke.
It opened!
And what was in sight was a fancy room with a red carpet with Aetherions written upon it and the room completely contradicted the previous place they were into as it was too cleaned and the volume of the room was covered by a piano, a fancy desk, some chairs and a bunch of pictures in frames hung on the walls of some strange but powerful people in Luke's description.
"Welcome to the world of Aether."
