“There is something, and believe me when I say it again that there is something and I can smell it in the air that something isn't right” Francesco said to himself as his instincts were screaming now, the feeling was becoming impossible to ignore like he is standing inside a room moments before an explosion.

“Diego gave me the letter, but now the whole clan hasn't been able to contact me. Then who gave Diego the letter to give to me then”

The question hit him harder than anything else and for a

    How do I even do that, where do I start from, how can I even discover who I am…how can I get solutions all these things are just confusing me the more when I think about them” these and many more are the thoughts fighting for a place in Francesco's head as he remembers the call he had with Mr Pietro few minutes back.The questions continued to collide against one another inside his mind like powerful waves crashing against sharp rocks.No matter how much he tried to organize them, they refused to settle.Each answer seemed to create ten new questions.Each clue seemed to create an even larger mystery.For someone like Francesco who prided himself on understanding situations quickly and seeing solutions before others could even identify the problem, this feeling was uncomfortable.Yet at the same time they sounded frustratingly vague because tell me, what exactly was he supposed to do with advice like that?How was he meant to fight an enemy he could not even identify? How was he suppo

    “I don't understand, what do you mean by that Mr Pietro, come on I did not call to give me words your father spoke of?” Francesco asked.The ship rocked gently beneath him.Outside the cabin window, the sea continued its endless dance beneath the dark sky.Mr Pietro smiled faintly.The reaction was exactly what he expected.“You see that was no night mare but what you are on the inside, you need to accept who you are for you to overcome what is a part of you that needs to be cleared out of the way for your growth” Mr Pietro said “you need to fight your fears and gain control of your thoughts Francesco”Hearing the words Mr Pietro said,Francesco found himself questioning something.“What exactly was he afraid of?” The answer should have been simple but yet strangely, it wasn't.“You will understand with time, but you should realize one thing son, and that is that you should follow your heart” Mr Pietro said once again over the line as he held the phone closely.“Well truth is i don't

    If his enemies thought he was gone, they would become careless and careless enemies were easier to defeat.“I will keep contacting you, but there shall be no more calls but instead I will be sending you encrypted messages to avoid detections across communications, is that clear?” Francesco said.The decision came naturally.m, too many things had already gone wrong and so, trusting normal communication methods no longer felt wise.Someone was listening.Someone was watching.Someone was manipulating information, and until he discovered who, caution would become necessary.“Sure yes sir, I clearly hear and understand everything you have spoken clearly” Mr Pietro replied.Francesco nodded quietly, at least that problem was solved, for now but at that moment Mr Pietro suddenly remembered something “ohh yes but sir why exactly did you call? I feel like there is something else you wanted to speak to me about in place of the topic we lost ourselves in”“Well yes Mr Pietro, there is really so

Then who gave Diego the letter to give to me then”The question hit him harder than anything else and for a long while his fingers slowly tapped against the armrest.One.Two.Three.The entire room was becoming really uncomfortable as different thoughts kept flooding into Francesco's mind as the ocean outside crashed violently against the ship.Metal creaked softly while the lights overhead flickered for a brief second, even Mufasa had risen from his resting position and was now watching Francesco carefully, it seems the lion had sensed the tension.Francesco stared toward the side pocket attached t

    “Ohh that is great, at least you are safe now I am sure” Mr Pietro said with a smile and for the first time since receiving the call, he felt his shoulders relaxz the nightmare scenario that had haunted the estate for days was suddenly gone because now he has confirmed that Francesco was alive and that changed everything.“Well, yes I am Pietro thanks for asking” Francesco replied as a faint smile appeared on his face as well.“Now that you are safe where are you currently and what is your next move now that the enemies are aware you are alive and have them locked on?” Mr Pietro asked.“I'm still in town but in a ship, I'm off to the black mercenaries organization head quarters. We have some unfinished business to settle with them” Francesco said.“Ohhh really I hope you are with the men there?” Mr Pietro said with concern in his voice, the concern was genuine and Francesco could hear and feel it clearly.Mr Pietro was not merely asking out of curiosity, there was a weight behind his

    The sound echoed softly through the room, each passing second made Francesco more impatient and finally the line connected.“Hello Mr Pietro,” Francesco said over the line, there was a long noticeable pause on the other side of the line and then…“Francesco?”Mr Pietro said over the phone in shock at the voice he just heard “you are alive?”The moment those words fell out of Mr Pietro's mouth Francesco knew instantly that something was not right, his entire body froze while the smile vanished from his face. In that instant his grip tightened around the phone as the room suddenly felt colder.Questions flooded his mind immediately.“Why would Mr Pietro ask that kind of question?”“Why sound surprised?”“Why sound relieved all of a sudden when it hasn't even been up to five months of not speaking to him?”The entire ship went silent like they understood what had just been said, even the waves of the sea that hits the ship instantly went still as Francesco felt a very heavy pressure drop

    Francesco instinctively leaned forward slightly as even Mufasa stood up completely now as the lion’s muscles tightened and the atmosphere inside the room shifted heavily.The entire room fell silent around Francesco the very moment Mr Pietro revealed a necklace carved entirely in black, the chain

    “She asked that your father protect her while she offered her body in exchange” Mr Pietro said, his voice lower this time as though the walls themselves were listening. “But in all of these she wanted more, she wanted not just your father’s words...she wanted a much stronger assurance and I guess
