《Blue Road》Episode 21 (Part 2)

The three of them headed to the elevator and headed down to the lowest floor. The doors opened as the group walked over to the door at the far end of the hallway. Nobody could reach them here at the basement level.
Mindy and Richard recognized this as the place where they did their job interview with Charlie as they entered the area with caution.
Richard took his ex-boss’s seat, while Lily sat in the opposite chair, and Mindy waited on the sideline. He took out the blue container and placed it on the table. He explained to Mindy that Lily had given him the capsule and knew about the contents inside.
“Even though you didn’t want her to watch the video, she still wanted to see it, if it meant getting closer to stopping the bad guys.” Richard started.
Mindy’s eyes widened and drooped as she glanced at Lily. “You were concerned about me?”
Lily looked away and gripped her arms, but said nothing. How was she supposed to respond, if at all?
Richard cleared his throat and began the questioning. “So, what was your reason for stealing this?” He pointed at the object on the table.
“Simple, to get back at my competition,” Lily replied.
“What do you mean by that?”
“There’s more to that boss than he lets on.”
“Besides the fact that he worked for the Mayor?”
“Say what?”
“So, that’s not it?”
Lily shook her head. “Well, he also worked in something called Project Blue. Have you ever heard of it?”
Richard and Mindy raised their eyebrows at the statement and shook their heads. “Can’t say we have.”
“I don’t remember her name, but she and the boss worked for this group that created this project that ended up being top secret.” Lily continued.

Richard and Mindy pondered about what it could all mean. Project Blue, Charlie working with a female, Claudia was his assistant at work, but if the project called blue involved Usukui Puru, then... That was when they put two and two together. “Carlos and the scientists!”
Mindy walked over, picked up the capsule, and scrutinized it. “From what I can remember, these can store information, data, and other things like videos to playback, correct?” She inquired.
“That’s right,” Lily confirmed, nodding. “They can also lock them to make sure it doesn’t get into the wrong hands.”
Richard couldn’t believe what he heard. So that’s why…
“As soon as I found out about the other group’s true intentions,” Lily continued. “I quit the business and stole this container.”
Richard gasped and got up from his seat. “You mean you used to work for those guys?”
“Charlie and Claudia are triple agents, then?” Mindy massaged her temples again and sighed. This was getting more confusing by the hour.
Richard glanced over at Mindy. “You worked for Charlie, but never questioned—”
“You’re not supposed to question the boss!” Mindy thundered. She turned to face her sister. “Lily, do you have any idea why these capsules play random videos that seem to have tie-ins to—?”
“Maybe? Would you believe me if I told you?” Lily shrugged. “Someone leaked the videos. I don’t know who did it, but the scientists found out and didn’t take it kindly.” She explained, turning to face the wall. “They tried to dispose of the evidence before any of them went to the public.”
Richard paused, processing the information before talking again. “But that one we have appeared to be corrupted, almost like someone was aware we’d steal these capsules and try to halt our progress.”
“So, you mean they could’ve done it on purpose?” Mindy questioned. “I don’t understand any of this.”

Beneath the foundations of the academy itself, an ancient and malevolent evil is stirring from its slumber - and unless Seth is willing to sacrifice what he believes could protect humanity from annihilation, this demon will rise and devour everyone he cares about.

8 135Euphoria [DISCONTINUED]
Are you limited by that which you know? Are you limited by that which you see? By that which can be realized? If so... Have you ever wondered what lies beyond understanding? An infinite concept. An infinite name. Implausible. Yet, still perfectly real. ... does this thought inspire rage to rise up from deep within you? If so... Then come along with me, for you might like what you see! --- Also, I'd like to keep these warnings below as part of the summary since having traumatizing content, horror and sexual warnings up top seems to not be enough for some people... WARNING - THIS STORY WILL HAVE HIGH EROTIC CONTENT/LEMONS BUT IT WILL NOT FOCUS ON SAID PORNOGRAPHY. I guess its 18+? I'd just put up an MA (Mature Adult) rating if I could. IMPORTANT - The chapters that have the heart symboal are LEMONS aka. they have at least one sexual scene contained within them. ... OMFG I CAN FINALLY EDIT MY SUMMARY AGAIN AND ACCESS THE DASHBOARD! Thank you Kanadaj and Necamijat! You guys rock. :D

8 162Bastard's Wrath
The Wyvern reared its humongous head, serpent neck coiling back, onyx scales of opulence shimmering in the dimness of the cloud smothered sky. It spoke, eye's ashen, like the surface of a star, "What is it you desire, boy?" The word's rolled from it's pointed maw, tongue flicking, it's deep and ferocious voice sending the ground below rumbling. Damien looked up, hair sodden with rain, his face battered beyond recognition, his lips curled into a snarl. He had gone past the point of being frightened; he was tired of his weakness. He spoke, voice wavering, mist floating from his mouth in the coldness: "I want them dead. I want everyone who stabbed me in the back; dead." The Wyvern smiled, rows of teeth exposed, "Then sacrifice it. Sacrifice your humanity." - The story of a bastard within a crippled family,who beyond all odds becomes known as the Greatest Swordsman to live: the one that, even the Gods, would someday fear.
