Chapter 7 - Three Remain While Blue faced his own issues in Murim. David and Mary were dealing with the issue of their missing son. A knock came early in the morning. Mary sprinted for the door. Hoping it was someone with information about their son. What she found standing there wasn't what she expected, but it was good news nonetheless. "Eve? You're back." Mary hugged Eve. Then immediately started crying. "Mary, what's wrong?" Eve said as she patted her back. "Blue... he... he is gone... missing... he just vanished." Mary sobbed. Eve grabbed her and and took a step back. "What do you mean vanished. When? Where? Tell me everything." Eve said in a panic. Mary and David sat her down and told her everything. The report from Jon, the old man at the pizza shop, who was the last person to see him. The golden gate behind the same pizza shop. Eve stood. "I'll be back." "Where are you going?" Mary asked. David interjected. "Eve, I checked there already. The assocation assured me he couldn't have gone through that gate. Blue never awakened. But if you must, be careful. The Association has that entire area cordoned off." "They don't care that Blue is missing, they only care about that damned golden gate." Mary's head met the kitchen table as she rested and continued to cry. "Still, I need to see for myself." Eve looked at David. He simply nodded. Eve approached the golden gate. Two guards immediately stopped her. "You can't be here, this is for Assocation personnel only. Unless you have the papers permitting you to try and resonate with the gate, I suggest you turn around." Eve looked at the two guards. "Sure I've got the papers." Eve turned pretending to reach in her pocket. She turned back around and summoned her vines to entangle the two men. She summoned her spirit Rhyla, who in turn froze them solid. Eve walked past the two guards. She approached the gate. She stuck her hand out and was instantly electrocuted. She looked around for any signs that Blue may be in the area still. Nothing. No trace of him. As she turned to leave, she summoned Cindyr, who gently released flames to thaw out the two guards. As the ice melted from their faces, they shouted at Eve. She turned around and waved and walked away. As Eve approached David and Mary's house she stopped. She pulled the veil stone out of her pocket. She sent her spirit energy into the stone. It pulsed three times. Then she heard it, the voice in her mind. "My dear disciple, you just left. Yet you call on me so quickly." The voice said. "My apologies master Faelorn. I just have a question." "Sure my dear, go ahead." Faelorn replied. "Can someone without a system... traverse the golden gates?" Eve asked. "Why do you ask a question you know the answer too?" "Blue... he is gone... missing. I think he may have went through one that appeared right where he was last seen." "Ohhh... interesting. To my knowledge, unless you're core resonates with the gate you may not enter. Where does the gate lead to dear?" Faelorn asked. "I don’t know sir. But, Blue wouldn't just leave his family for no reason." "I understand, I have a disciple who is in Veltrax as we speak. If anyone knows how these gates work, it's the machines. Allow me some time, and I will try and get an answer for you." "Thank you master." Eve said. "Of course, of course, anything for a future Heirophant. Take care my dear, and don’t slack on your training while you’re on Terra." The veil stone dimmed. Eve stared at it for a few seconds. Then she looked at the sky. "Where the hell are you Blue?". Back in Murim, the hellish training continued. Blue sat in his room one morning, system opened. [Twilight Flow Comprehension: 53%] "Damn, I only have three weeks left. I need to pick up the pace. If I fail here, I may as well go home." Blue sat for a moment thinking about home. Technically, he was home. But Earth was also home. Blue sighed. "I wonder how they are taking me being gone, I wish I could've told them, or said goodbye." Blue smiled
