Chapter 51
Hi, I hope that everyone is well and that their families are well.
I know it took me a long time to publish and I am sorry, but I have lost the links and the pages where I saw the series, if someone knows of any page or link that is not paid and can see it would be of great help, I would need it to be on Spanish or with subtitles. It would be very helpful and would help me post sooner.
Thank you very much and that everything goes very well for you.
Lok's POV
I curled up on the sheets, I didn't want to get up, but my biological needs forced me to, I was very hungry, I wanted a good hearty breakfast with sausages and eggs and toast and I had to get up to get it. I always starved after transforming, the worst thing is that in my house there is usually not much (no) food so I would have to go to a cafeteria for breakfast. I sat on the bed and stretched as much as I could, I looked around and realized that I was not in my house, but in my bedroom in Dante's house, I got angry in a matter of seconds, I did not understand what I was doing here. I quickly changed and went downstairs to find an explanation. Dante was in the living room having tea.
-What do I do here?!
-Wow, you've messed up with your left foot.
-WHAT DO I DO HERE?!
-Okay, okay, take it easy.
-Good afternoon Lok -Zhalia entered with a plate of everything I wanted, adding bacon, in her hands- Eat while Dante explains.
Zhalia handed me the plate with some silverware, I sat on the sofa furthest from Dante, Cherit brought me a glass of water and he stayed with me trying to steal my toast.
-I was worried if the Organization found you and I went to see you.
-Lie- interrupted Cherit, -Dante was bored and missed you and Sophie.
-The case- Dante glared at Cherit- is that I found you living in deplorable conditions and could not allow you to die of starvation or dehydration.
-Didn't it occur to you that I already knew what I was getting into?-
-Lok, please understand that you couldn't allow it.
-I don't care you should have listened to me.
I was really angry, Dante got up with a sigh and went to the kitchen, Zhalia came up and started to tell me the things I had done and showed me some photos, I was dying of shame, I just wanted the earth to swallow me, I The only good thing was that I hated Dante and had made his life impossible and that I had attempted his life a few times, she also told me about my being run over and my teleportation. I finished my breakfast / lunch right away, but I was still hungry, Dante returned with a tub of chocolate ice cream and a spoon.
-You forgive me?
I picked up the ice cream and started eating.
-I will think about it.
Dante smiled, and sat down again, Zhalia sat next to him amused by the whole situation and I decided that I would call Sophie when I finished my ice cream.
Lok's POV end
Sophie's POV
Lok called me to come to Dante's house, apparently he was a little angry with Dante for not having respected his decision, and he was upset with Zhalia for the videos and photos she had and for the threat that if he did not leave her alone the I would send all the agents of the Huntik Foundation. What little idea Lok had, I also had that blackmail material that I had planned to use, but all at the time, now I was only going to go to Dante's house and spend the day with him.
When I arrived, they were all gathered in the living room, Lok was holding a large amount of papers and was showing them all.
-Good morning, what have I missed?
-Guggenheim has sent us the translations of Jodis Lore's notes- Dante explained to me.
-It has been so long and so many things that I had already forgotten.
Lok commented leafing through them, I approached them to keep up to date.
-Your father probably read them and they led him to the greatest treasure, the Amulet of Will.
I was really excited about everything that was going on, first Ireland, then Lok's transformation and now, I was one step closer to an object so precious by my family and all the seekers in the world, it seemed like a dream, and if it was no one wakes me up.
- "My travels has taken me to the land of Egypt. I have found ancient secrets hidden in the great tombs, I have finally discovered the ancient power of the Titans "-Lok read aloud
-Is there something about the Amulet of Will? - I was really excited, I couldn't wait any longer, we may finally find it.
-If you don't interrupt me again, maybe I can tell you. "I am convinced that what they call the Amulet of Will was used by the first seeker Casterwill during the war." Sophie, did you hear anything about this?
I knew it, I knew that my ancestors had used the amulet of the will, I knew that I was close to being able to get it back, I was finally going to have some answer about my family. I was crazy inside, but I had to stay calm and act with my head.
-Oh well, Casterwill was responsible for bringing the Titans to earth in the first place, to fend off threats from another world.
-The Casterwill story is just that, a story -Why does Zhalia always have to try to discredit my family? - No one really knows how the Titans appeared.
-My family is named Casterwill, but I don't know why- I had to admit it, nobody told me and my parents didn't have time- It is known that the first stories have been lost.
-Looks like there is a map.- Dante was very smiling, though I wasn't sure if it was because Lok was no longer trying to kill him or why we had a new mission.
-He says he explored the grave of someone named Nefertiti- Lok read excitedly.
-Everyone knows that Nefertiti's tomb has never been found.- Another useless clue.
-That sounds like the best clue we have.- He was certainly happy for the mission
-I bet my father followed these leads and went to Egypt, and I'm not willing to miss this opportunity. Shall we go? - Lok looked at Dante pleading.
-Obviously you and Sophie should go, leave as soon as you can.
-Aren't you going to come with us?- Lok lowered his ears disappointed with the idea.
-Easy, I'll go, but I still can't, I must inform the bosses about what happened in Ireland.- Dante smiled to reassure Lok and me, although Lok didn't calm down, he tensed.
Lok and I went to prepare for our trip, this was going to be the first trip we would do without Dante and because of that Dante made us promise not to get into trouble and that we would wait for him before going to investigate. Zhalia and Cherit were going to come with us, and as much as Dante denies it, we all knew it was to make sure we weren't going to disobey him, since we have certain backgrounds.

Third person
While the Huntik team was excited about their new mission, and because Lok no longer wanted to kill Dante, the professor was furious in his office, he was scolding Rassimof and two agents, the agents were scared to death, but they were trying not to show a sign Rassimof, for his part, had been working with the Professor for a long time and knew that if he gave him a solution, nothing would happen.
-Can you explain to me why the Huntik Foundation is still a thorn in my side! Why Dante Vale defeats my agents at every step! And we don't have the puppy yet, the longer it takes the more it will develop its powers and the harder it will be to catch it!
-I understand your frustration, sir- Rassimof continued to remain calm- If I could draw your attention to this- One of the agents gave Rassimof a small portfolio- Sophie Casterwill- He showed the folder to the Professor- She has participated and played an important role in some of the missions of the Huntik Foundation.
-Casterwill?, I thought that clan of fools was almost extinct.
-Calm down, this Casterwill girl game is not worth it, it is only important for your payroll.
- The Casterwill is silly, I want Dante Vale neutralized and the puppy in a cage!
-Yes sir, as you wish, sir. I will see to it.

Sophie's POV
Once at the airport I was buying the tickets when the girl told me that my card had been rejected, to be exact they rejected the two that I had. I went back with the others and explained the situation, strangely we went to my house hoping that LeBlanche had an explanation. Unfortunately, he had it, LeBlanche was very affected, while serving him a cup of tea he explained the situation to us.
-It's terrible!
-LeBlance, calm down. What happen?
My dear LeBlanche, I was very worried, I had never seen him like this, his hands were shaking, he was disheveled and his suit was wrinkled and badly buttoned.
-This morning I learned that the food check had been rejected.-He sipped his tea to try to calm himself, his hands were still shaking- I immediately called the bank and they informed me that their accounts did not exist- We were all horrified, including Zhalia- What's more, they told me that there had never been accounts in her name.
Lok was quite shocked, I collapsed on the sofa next to LeBlanche.
-No doubt this is the work of the Organization- Zhalia looked very upset, I couldn't help but wonder what was going through her head.
-But why?- Lok asked somewhat desperately.
-Well, Sophie has been financing part of our missions.
-Zhalia are right, somehow they must have found out about my participation in the Foundation.
-What are we going to do Miss Sophie?
I took a moment to think, I really wanted to scream and curse, it wasn't fair. My family had tried very hard throughout history, it was not fair that the Organization erased them from Earth as if they were nothing.
-Let's not panic, something will occur to us.
-I only know that this is the one good clue about my father, and that we are losing it.
Lok was more frustrated than me, he was right the Organization had screwed us, but well.
-Come on, come on, guys, don't despair.- Cherit tried to cheer us up a bit- Something will occur to us.
-My Lady- Santiago appeared from the leftovers startling us all a little- Whatever happens, I will stay by his side.
-Thanks Santiago.
-Does anyone have an idea?- Asked Cherit.
-Don't worry- Lok removed the frown with which he looked at Santiago and smiled- I'm sure Dante helped us.
-Sorry Lok, Dante is a professional and I can't pay him.
-Have a little faith. He may be a vampire, but I'm sure he won't leave us lying, or at least not me, not until he sends me to someone from the Foundation to prevent the Organization from capturing me.
Lok said the last part in a mocking way, Dante was right he wanted to send Lok with someone to protect him when he met him, so he probably will now.
-Whatever you do, don't include me in your plans. I'm only here at Dante's request and without him, I don't do anything here. Ciao.
Zhalia uncrossed her arms and left without saying anything else. My blood burned, was it leaving us for the slightest problem? I knew it was not to be trusted, even though everyone told me I was wrong, I knew it from the moment I saw it. If I ever saw her again I was going to pay dearly, she had left us in the lurch. I was going to reproach Lok for what I already knew was not to be trusted, but Lok was in shock, he looked at the door through which Zhalia had just left, really hurt and surprised, he seemed to not understand what had happened, he looked like a puppy the one they just kicked.
And now that? Without Dante or Zhalia, the Organization had an open field to catch us, I can always return to the kingdom of angels, they still know me there, but Lok no, I don't think I have any safe place to go and I will not leave him . Wait, the kingdom of angels?
-That's it! - everyone looked at me strangely when I jumped off the couch excitedly- I'll go to the kingdom of angels, they may have deleted the accounts, but they couldn't have erased the existence of my family there. I am sure I will be able to find a solution.
-Good idea Sophie! But what do I do?
-You could try to get some money, Santiago and LeBlanche will stay with you.
-Don't speak my lady! My duty is to protect her, I will not allow her to go alone.
-I appreciate Santiago, but if you want to help the best thing you can do is stay with Lok and keep him safe, without Dante or Zhalia he is an easy target.
-Well, thanks ...- Lok protested.
-Also did not believe that the Organization dares to attack me in the kingdom of angels, that would be very dangerous for them.
Sophie's POV end
Zhalia's POV
Boys probably should have hated me right now, but it was necessary.
When I walked two blocks away from Sophie's house I called Claus and told him what happened, I lied to him saying that the boys were in a safe Foundation house until the problem was solved and that it would be difficult to reach them, I also told him that Dante had had to leave and that he would not return in a while, but that when he returned he would warn him to continue with "my mission". Claus was quite happy with what happened the boys were alone although, according to me, in an unknown whereabouts except for the non-existent people who were keeping them safe.
I felt guilty for lying to her, but I had already made a decision, and that the Organization did what it did to Sophie, robbing her of everything she had and leaving her practically on the street, they showed me that I was making the right decision when leaving the Organization. Little did Claus suspect that he was going to use all my methods and skills to hack into the Organization's database and reverse what they had done.
I went to see a friend who owed me a favour to ask for a car, I would go to one of the secondary bases of the Organization in Verona, if my knowledge is true, that base will not have many agents, but it will have a computer with access to all the data and from there I can help the boys.
Zhalia's POV end
Sophie's POV
When I reached the kingdom of angels a feeling of peace filled me, it was practically heaven, there were clouds everywhere and blossoming nature wherever you looked, I flew straight to the Casterwil house / mansion in the kingdom, everything was so wonderful here It was so similar to Olympus from the movies, although it is not surprising, many of those settings are inspired by my beloved kingdom.
I was super-happy when I saw my house, I stood in front of the huge golden fence that surrounded it, the gates were closed, it is a special lock, considering that there is no lock, I put my hand on a block plate in the center of the doors, they glowed pink and opened wide for me, when between the doors they closed, preventing anyone other than a Casterwill from entering. For a second, I looked at my wonderful garden, full of plants of all kinds and very beautiful flowers, I walked down the driveway to the house, I could hear the mini waterfall that was ringing in the distance. I was sorry for not being able to raise myself here, after the death of my parents I lived on earth and since neither Santiago nor LeBlanche are angels they did not allow them access to the kingdom, not without special authorization and blah blah blah, a lot of bureaucracy, It is a thing that I hate a lot about the kingdom, despite the peace treaties and the relationships built with the other kingdoms, this is still very closed, they do not allow the entry of other creatures unless it is for work or treaties. Here I would be safe from the Organization, but I will not abandon Lok, much less at a time like this.
Once inside my house, I took my suitcase to my bedroom and then I started to call someone to help me with the problem, and as everything is a lot of useless and useless bureaucracy I was going to go on the phone waiting a long time until Finally someone would deign to answer and tell me who I was supposed to talk to.
Sophie's POV end
A week later
Lok's POV
I felt really alone, without Sophie, nor Zhalia, nor Dante ... it was not fair, I felt that everything was falling apart, although I knew it was not true, Sophie would return as soon as she could and Dante would return immediately when he found out about the situation, to Despite what the girls say I know that Dante will come back, he came back for me when I transformed, despite the fact that nobody asked him, I know that he would not abandon us, and Zhalia ... Zhalia confused me, at first I did not like it, but it can It was because of the way she treated me and Sophie, although sometimes Sophie deserves it, then when I got over her bad temper and derogatory comments, she felt that she was trustworthy, that she was a good person and that Cherit said, my fox side trusted her and he liked being with her, I don't understand her behaviour.
-Hey!, the coffee is cold!
-Excuse me, I'll warm it up right away.
I picked up the customer's cup and handed Santiago across the bar to heat up the customer's coffee. Santiago, LeBlanche and I were working in a cafeteria, this was our third job, the first was in a hotel chain, but we had a few problems with a spoiled dog that attacked Santiago and in the end I had to scare the dog so much as its owner, since the situation of seeing her dog bite a bellboy seemed like a very funny situation. Obviously, after the incident they kicked us out, and I think they have prohibited me from entering, but that is still not certain.
Later we got a job in a quite luxurious cafeteria, but we had problems with my appearance and some clients, in the end they threw us out when I ended up on the floor with the food that the clients rejected for serving it to me, on top of that, when one of them actually tripped me up. That didn't do our situation or my emotions any favours.
Now we were working in a very seedy cafeteria, but it had been the only place where I had been hired, and well, Santiago and LeBlanche promised Sophie that they would protect me so they didn't leave me alone and they took two jobs too.
-Ahhh!
I turned around when I heard the client scream, it turned out to be the heavyweight from before, that client had been giving us the can all day, first he sat at a table and ordered what he wanted, when he takes it, he yelled at me and told me that that was not the case. is what he had asked for, in addition, he demanded to sit at the bar, I had to return his food and the man sat at the bar near Santiago, then he demanded things that the local did not serve and he paid with LeBlanche, and now the coffee, I wouldn't be surprised if Santiago had overheated the man's coffee. He had burned his tongue and as a result of the surprise he threw the burning coffee over his shirt. After cursing a bit, he got up and left very angry. When I finished cleaning the table, I approached the bar with a big smile.
-Well done.
-He deserved it.-Santiago smiled victoriously at his small misdeed.- Lok, that table wants to order now.
I smiled and took the notebook and went to the table, once I had written down and reviewed their order, so that they would not scold me again for making a mistake, I left the command in the kitchen. When I turned I realized that the next table I had just attended was full of agents from the Organization, this was not real, it could not be, I looked at LeBlanche and we were on guard, I tried to go do my job and leave hence when one of the agents grabbed my arm.
-Hears! Look what we have here. You are an agent of the Huntik Foundation, right?
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-It is more, I would say that you are the mascot of Dante Vale, and what the Professor wants.
-I'm not anyone's pet.- I tugged hard on my arm causing it to release and the agent to fall to the ground.
-You should not do that.
The officers got up from the table and came menacingly towards me, the rest of the clients got very upset, suddenly the fire alarm went off, and all the mute forgot about the strange clients who were threatening personnel and ran away, running away of the fire that did not exist, none noticed LeBlanche next to the alarm.
The agents attacked us with their powers, use "electric-shield" to protect us from their attacks. I looked around to verify that all the clients and the rest of the employees had left.
-Everyone is gone, we have the place to ourselves- I took out the Freelancer amulet and showed it to Santiago- It's time to play.
Santiago wasted no time and summoned Shinovi to join Freelancer. The officers also began summoning their Titans and soon outnumbered us.
Still, we were not demotivated, Freelancer faced a Redcap who didn't have much chance against him and quickly returned to his amulet, unfortunately its owner was stronger and showed a lot of resistance. Shinovi faced a Bonelasher, the insect attacked him with a white lightning bolt shot from his third eye, Shinovi stopped him with the sword, while recovering, Bonelasher attacked again, but his lightning bolt passed Shinovi and hit Freelancer, who was fighting against an Enforcet, and returned to his amulet in a blue beam. Now if we were wrong since I had left the Limdorm amulet at Dante's house. Shinovi did his best job defeating Bonelasher but the agents did not show the slightest concern and advanced, cornering LeBlanche, Santiago and me against the local bar ...
-Lok, stay behind.
-I appreciate Santiago, but if it doesn't work for Dante, it won't work for you.
They took out two amulets and they were going to invoke them, but a hand grabbed one of the arms and with a perfect movement she threw it against his partner, impacting them both against one of the walls.
-Really Lok, you can't be left alone.
Zhalia was smiling broadly, summoned Kilthane and he just got rid of almost all the agents and titans, the Organization was quite surprised to see Zhalia there, just like me, since no one expected him to appear, the agents left as soon as they had a opportunity abandoning their peers.
-Zhalia! You have come!
-I like the potatoes in this place, the other ..., it was just a coincidence.
We heard the sirens of the firefighters and the police and decided that the best thing we could do was to flee quickly, but before that Zhalia used "simple mind" in the agents to make them believe that they had mistaken agents. We met at Sophie's house, Santiago and LeBlanche were not very comfortable with the presence of Zhalia, I was very happy, if she had returned, it meant that we cared about him and that she regretted leaving, right? I asked him a thousand times since she saved us in the cafeteria, but she told me that she would explain everything when Sophie returned, in the end I had to keep quiet since I didn't want my videos transformed all over the internet.
Lok's POV end
Sophie's POV
I hated more than ever the bureaucracy, the executives and all that crap in the world of angels. I returned home tired, disappointed and without any solution, I had a very small hope that the others would have done better. I stood at the door and gave a long sigh, I gathered myself as much as I could and went inside, I went to the tearoom where everyone was. I felt the blood burning when I saw Zhalia sitting in MY HOUSE and Lok happy next to her.
-Sophie! You're finally back.- Lok was very happy when he saw me.
-What is she doing here?
-Visiting, more or less.
-Sophie, I know you are angry ...
-Your hush.- I wanted to kill her.
-Lady Sophie, Zhalia has been kind enough to rescue us when the Organization attacked us,- Santiago explained to me.
Zhalia and I had a battle of glances, I could not say who was winning, but neither was going to surrender.
-Miss Sophie, any news from the kingdom of angels?
I looked at LeBlanche with the same intensity that I looked at Zhalia, but immediately I regretted and corrected myself, he was not to blame for anything.
-If there are, but they are bad- I put the suitcase on the floor and sat on the free chair- They can't do anything. If it had been some attempt by a magical creature or any other kingdom to destroy my family then they could intervene, but due to the fact that there is no evidence of anything and since the Organization does not exist in the eyes of non-seekers, they do not want meddling on Earth, apparently there is a treaty preventing them.
-My mother! - LeBlache also sat down but with disgust- and now what do we do?
-Well ... - look away and I was sad- They have given me two passes authorized for you and for Santiago, we could go to the kingdom of angels and they would protect us.
-And what about Lok?
I bit my lip at LeBlanche's question.
-I am not allowed to enter, not with a pass or if he. They don't like it being half demon.
-Calm down Lok, we won't leave you.
I was not going to abandon him, or allow the Organization to reach him, they would have to pass over my corpse before I could touch his hair.
-Well, I think it's time I saved the day.-Zhalia leaned over and took one of the cookies from the table and ate it with pleasure.- When I left I dedicated myself to hacking the bank server, your accounts left an electronic trail that someone who doesn't know to hack would probably not know, and well, I've contacted an old computer expert friend of mine and he can get your accounts back, but it will take some time.
-Ow! Zhalia, that's incredible.- Lok was hallucinating a lot.
-Why? You left us lying.
-Well, not entirely, I couldn't do it from here, also, if the Organization was watching you, which was most likely, they would have prevented it, if I left nobody would pay attention to me.
-Zhalia, thank you very much. And sorry, I haven't been fair to you.
-Easy, if it had been you who had left, I would have reacted the same.
-Girls, I love that you get along, but now what do we do? We have no money and the track gets cold.
-Maybe I can help.
Dante came in smiling and greeted us all, stepped behind Lok and ruffled his hair making him smile, Zhalia smiled and I squeezed my shoulder, then sat next to me. He reached into one of the pockets of his raincoat and took out four bills and put them on the table.
-Four bills? -We all looked at them incredulously, what was happening?
-I knew it! I knew you wouldn't abandon us! - Lok suddenly shouted super excited.
-Thank you. It is nice to know that someone has faith in me. A little bird told me about your problem.- Dante looked at Zhalia out of the corner of his eye and she smiled.- When I returned I unearthed a couple of little jobs that I had out there.
-I'm sorry Dante, but I thought ... well, I can't pay you and you're a professional.
-I know, calm down. But that is not reason enough to abandon you. Also, a good professional doesn't quit his job for a setback.
-I'm sorry I doubted you.-I was really abrupt, I should have trusted Dante more.
-Also, I'm glad you couldn't travel, I wasn't calm leaving you alone without supervision.
-And what am I? - Zhalia asked crossing her arms.
-What does it matter- Lok interrupted- We're going to Egypt!
