Chapter 62 - Gibson
Monson attempted to take in everything that was going on around him. On the one side was the massive beast that rampaged about, ravaging whole lines of H.U.M.A.N.E. members and commandos. On the other, Aaron Gibson was laughing maniacally while Christopher Baroty sat dying at Monson’s feet. All this as the beast’s attention constantly flickered back to where Monson was standing.
Baroty’s arm began to radiate heat as light completely encased his arm. Monson recoiled as the bright strobe in front of him threw Gibson’s countenance into relief. Gibson grinned as he removed his combat glove.
“It was you,” stated Monson matter-of-factly.
Gibson chuckled once more. “It was I.”
Monson’s eyes narrowed as his hands tensed on the blade. He gestured at where Baroty lay. “Why?”
“Ahh. It is not why, Mr. Grey, but who. That is the question you should be asking. Who, because the who encompasses the why. Who is the very essence. only if you have the who can you understand the why.”
Monson’s eyes narrowed until they were little more than slits. Word games…this man was playing word games. He tried not to get angry. “OK, then–who are you?”
Gibson dropped the combat glove on the ground. “Who am I? I am the cause of this war. The instigator of Baroty Bridge and the man who has kept you alive. ”
Monson gritted his teeth but attempted to remain calm. “You caused this war?”
“Ahh, yes. it was I who manipulated Baroty, H.U.M.A.N.E. and your Magi guardians from the House of Artisay not to mention your female lawyer from the Clan Carabintha. It was all done by me. I caused this skirmish as a precursor to my master’s war, just as my master required it.
“I must say, I did not plan for it all to go this well. Two of the Inner Circle will fall, destroyed in their foolish quest. The Heart of the Midday Darkness has been revived and is under my command to wreak havoc on this world and to make way for his coming. And foremost among my accomplishments, I found one of the Insightful thriving here on Earth, and in a time when we had almost given up hope of their continued existence. and let me not forget the absolute icing: the knowledge that his beloved has finally been found. I don’t know what it is you have done, boy, nor why they have all gathered around you, but you have my thanks nonetheless.”
Monson had no idea what this crazed man was talking about. Insightful? Beloved? Who was this whack-a-doo?
The Heart of the Midday Darkness roared, rendering Gibson’s next words barely audible. “Well, young hero, O Being of Seven Bloods, I bid you farewell. I suggest you leave before you are destroyed along with the rest of this valley.”
Monson fidgeted uncomfortably, swearing he must have heard wrong. “You bid me farewell? That’s it? After all you’ve put me through you’re just going to walk away. What does that mean?”
Gibson, his back already to Monson, glanced over his shoulder. “It means that there are still things for you to accomplish.
