chapter 2: the black necklace

Zino walk back to the king room to see if there's some clues that was left after so many months passed, even though there's so many mosquito's biting him he act like he don't see or feel they're bite and just continue walking while some flies fly everytime he walk passed the dead rotting bodies.

looking at this dirty room Zino don't really know what to say, ignoring the dead bodies and continue to walk until he reach in the room Zino look closely.

while observing the pattern of rotting bodies Zino was confused, he found it weird that the dead are far like five steps from the bed and most of the dead are in the other side where walls with clean and weird patterns could be seen.

Zino walk towards the wall and look closely at it but he don't find anything but just wall with patterns. Zino reach his hand and touch it following the patterns until his finger stumble on one of the pattern line, Zino ignore it and continue doing it again and again but while doing it that place is the only where his finger stumbled.

Zino tried to pull it with his nails but while doing so he was pricked by the sharp edge of the small circle where he tried to pull out. his finger bleed out a little but Zino did not feel the pain until he was annoyed and try to punch the wall only pushing the block that his trying to pull.

unexpectedly after the block was punch there's a sound like a chain or gears running behind that wall, after waiting for sometime the pattern move on its own making an opening for a box that was push out by the machine.

Zino look at it for a while making sure that there's no trap, he don't know why he is being cautious but its like he is doing it automatically.

he pick it up then walk out towards the kitchen where no dead rotting bodies, even though he don't mind those dead with worms, flies and mosquito he still dont want to stay there.

after he sit on the same chair that he pick earlier he put down the box on the table and open it but after opening it he let out a disappointing sigh.

'what the hell? I even waste my time just for this useless jewelry? '

Zino said and close his eyes to calm down, after a while he open his eyes again.

every time he was annoyed, angered, nervous, excited, or whenever his emotions overcome him. his eyes will turned red and will only be back to a normal black when he calmed down.

those red eyes of him is like a chain of his emotions everytime it happen no emotions will leaked out but a cold and uncaring pressure letting everyone know that nothing can move him. but who knows what he really feels deep down.

Zino raise the black plain necklace and observe it but an hour or so he still don't find any special about it maybe he got it wrong.

he put it down and tap it with his finger while closing his eyes.

'just what am I going to do now? what really happened to me? why I can't remember anything? '

he thought, unknown to him that while taping his finger the black round like necklace absorbed his every blood and even trying to get more like a hungry beast from the small hole made by the wall earlier.

felling an itch on the tip of his finger Zino open his eyes and look but only to be shock to see the floating black like stone absorbing his blood, the stone seems to have a slight red now but Zino notice it that it needs more blood.

'I won't die just by losing a small blood right? '

he whispered then pick a broken glass and cut his finger, but after a minute he already can't feel his finger but wanting to know what will happen he made an another cut on his ring finger.

then after the black stone turned red it flew towards it's palm and attached on its own, looking at his palm that now have a large red jewel Zino panicked after realizing what just happened.

he shake his hand like crazy but it still there like it naturally part of his hand so obviously it won't leave, Zino then pressed it suddenly a transparent screen appeared above the red stone.
