Chapter 268: The Unexpected Ally
Elijah’s words sent a shiver down Kyle’s spine. Help him? What did this stranger want with him? And could he trust him?
Snow’s eyes narrowed, her gaze fixed on Elijah. "Who are you, and what do you want?" she asked, her voice firm.
Elijah smiled, his eyes glinning with amusement. "I’m a friend, Snow. I’ve been watching Kyle for a while now, and I believe he has the potential to stop the Lucifer’s return."
"Lucifer’s return? Isn’t he already-"He stopped mid sentence, receiving a nudge from snow.
’We’re still unsure where we are, or what that hooded figure intentions is. Revealing information would be putting ourselves in the lion’s den. We have to thread softly and play it wisely.’ Snow telepathically spoke to Kyle, which he responded with an inward ’Mhm.’
Kyle’s eyes widened in surprise. "Stop the Lucifer’s return? You mean, I can actually do something to prevent this?"
Elijah nodded, his expression serious. "Yes, Kyle. You have a crucial role to play in this battle. But first, we need to get you to safety. Lilith’s minions are closing in, and we can’t risk her getting her hands on you."
Snow’s eyes scanned the surrounding area, her gaze sharp. "I agree. We need to move, now."
The three of them set off, moving swiftly through the forest. Elijah led the way, his eyes scanning the shadows as if he was searching for something. Snow followed closely behind, her sword at the ready. Kyle brought up the rear, his mind racing with questions.
As they walked, Elijah began to explain the situation. "The Lucifer’s return is tied to an ancient prophecy, Kyle. A prophecy that speaks of a chosen one, a warrior with the power to defeat the Lucifer and restore balance to the world."
Kyle’s eyes widened in shock. "You mean, I’m the chosen one?"
Elijah smiled, his eyes glinning with amusement. "Let’s just say, you have a key role to play, Kyle. The prophecy speaks of a warrior with the blood of the ancient ones, a warrior who will wield the power of the elements."
