Chapter 23: What to do now
1 day later...
In a hospital room, jade rested while watching the news on TV:
"The attack carried out by the largest organization of villains in the world, left more than 750 thousand dead, this was the biggest terrorist attack ever carried out in the history of mankind. It is really shameful to think... BIP"
Jade turned off the TV and sighed. She was shaken and mentally defeated, it never crossed her mind so many dead, but she was still worried about something else.
Suddenly, the door to her room opened and a man in a black suit came in, he was about 70 years old, but his physical structure was colossal, he had the appearance of someone elegant with his white hair and beard.
Raising her eyebrows, Jade quickly bowed as she sat down to the man who had entered. The man looked at jade's attitude and said:
"No need to bow to me, jade."
"But, I failed to protect our students..."
The man sighed and started to walk to the window, opened the curtains a little and looked out. They were on the 7th floor, when he looked down, several reporters were seen, some reporting and others trying to get an exclusive interview.
"Times are changing..."
The man spoke as he looked outside.
Jade didn't understand his words and asked:
"Why are the times changing?"
The man turned and faced Jade, he immediately snapped his fingers and a sound barrier was created inside the room.
"Mors told me this, I didn't understand much at first, but now I understand..."
Jade furrowed her brows in confusion, but then the man continued to speak:
"In the past, when there was literally nothing, two brothers were born. One was a pure white being, the other was a black and cruel being.
But even though they were different, the two loved each other and managed to live together perfectly. Until the day that pure being discovered that he could create anything he wanted, he did so, created and reshaped everything in the universe. But his brother, he didn't like there to be life.
His brother then discovered that he could destroy anything he wanted, so he did, and it completely destroyed and erased the universe, but his brother didn't like that life had been erased. And then they were in an infinite loop."
"Who do you think is wrong, jade?"
Jade listened to the story, thought a little and replied:
"If I spoke like a human, the cruel brother, but... If I spoke rationally, no one would be wrong."
"Why do you think that?"
She again thought a little and replied:
"The two brothers have two different natures, one likes life and the other hates life, so there is no right and wrong."
The man widened his eyes and closed them, started walking towards the door, until Jade stopped him and asked:
"But why did you ask that, Headmaster?"
He looked at Jade and said:
"I just wanted to know your answer... I just came to see how you are, I'm on my way out, take care jade."
The man left the room and closed the door. A hush descended over the room and Jade lowered her eyes and thought:
'What did he mean?'

In another hospital room, Thomas was resting as he watched the landscape through the window.
Knock knock, Tomás looked at the door and said:
"In between."
Brian would enter the room and close. He would sit in a chair beside the bed and throw something at Thomas as he spoke:
"I brought an apple."
Thomas calmly caught the apple in the air and said:
"How are the others?"
"Sigh, they're fine, Amanda and Annabelle are unharmed, Elizabeth has some but nothing critical and Connor, despite being pretty hurt, he's a tough guy and is doing well with his treatment."
"I understand..."
Brian looked at his friend and noticed a sad expression on his face.
"Hey, you know it's not your fault, right?"
Thomas looked out the window and said:
"Then whose fault is it?"
"It's not yours! If anyone has to take the blame, it's this guy who lives inside you like a parasite!"
Thomas let out a weak laugh and asked:
"The oath you swore to him..."
Brian felt a pang in his heart and said:
"I'm sorry…I know how you're feeling, but I couldn't leave Amanda dead."
"don't worry, I took a worse oath than yours..."
Wide-eyed, Brian tried to ask something, but Thomas kept saying:
"I think I found a demon... I don't know why, but the demons want to use this guy inside me to kill someone called the creator."
Brian was shocked just hearing Thomas say that.
It was a lot of information for his brain to absorb at once, but because of his quick thinking ability, he recovered from the shock and asked in a serious tone:
"Are you sure about this?!"
Thomas noticed Brian's serious tone and asked him:
"Do you know anything about this, Brian?"
"Sigh... The only being I know that could face the creator on an equal footing would be the darkness."
"Yeah! that demon said something about this guy being a type of darkness or something!"
Brian was even more shocked, but he got over the shock and got up, grabbed Thomas by the shoulder and said in a serious tone:
"Don't ever tell anyone what we talked about here, understand? Mainly about him being the darkness, understand?!"
Thomas was shocked by his friend's sudden attitude, but noticing his tone, he knew it was something very serious, so he nodded.
Brian seeing this relaxed his muscles and sat up.
"Sigh. Something very big is going to happen in the future..."

In a dark and cold castle...
"Sir, our plan failed..."
Lilith spoke as she knelt down to a man sitting on a throne.
"No problem, I expected that to happen..."
"What do we do next?"
"You don't have to do anything, just wait for things to unfold."
"Yes sir."
Lilith was still on her knees waiting for further orders, while Lucifer was happy that the real plan had worked...
