Chapter 29: New alliance
Somewhere in the deep mountains in the middle of a forest, that same night after the Galipots attack Peterson's group, there is screaming of someone getting beat up . A large man kicking ,punching another man while a small group standing there and watching without saying a word, blood splash on the floor and walls ,the man laying on the floor is out of breath like he's on the verge of death, his name is T-Samdi and the one beating the doo-doo out of him is their leader and his name is Garlen.
"You damn idiot was supposed to lead the Galipots and capture the boy, also, I asked you to be discrete, but you morons decided to act like a bunch of animals like you were going to war against a large group of people " He spat on him on the floor and look at the small group , they all frowned, his eyes stopped on a skinny man that was trying to hide behind a large man. "Hey Tizo come here and explain me what happened " Tizo the skinny man rushed and kneeled down, he slammed his head on the ground like he's praying for forgiveness . "Sir after you gave us the mission to capture the boy, T-Samdi thought it was best to bring more Galipots after what occurred last time ,even though the boy didn't awakened the full power of the medallion yet, somehow he was still strong, and this time when we went in to capture him again, I'm not sure what happend but it seems like his friends also acquired some strange powers, so we got pushed back that's when T-Samdi decided to send the whole troop to get him, unfortunately, they had more help and as we were about to capture him they just vanished out of thin air " The leader looked at Tizo and rubbed his chin . " Oh! I see , well I need to report this to the elders ". Tizo raised his head just so he can see Garlen. " Also there was a blonde girl watching from the top of a tree , I saw her came out of the water but she didn't see that I was watching, it all happened while I was taking dum… haem… and saw a glowing light ,and I think I recognized her as Lili Zaka " Garlen grin " oh! Really so the Loas are getting involved in human's affair, I see now ,and this is worth reporting, alright, get on your feet soldier, you did a better job than that trash laying on the floor, I'll make sure to take good care of you with loads of food and drinks " Garlen turned around and walked out the door with two others following his footsteps .
In the meantime, Peterson and the others included the new arrival, sat on the floor trying to retrace the recent event against the Galipots .
"Why those Galipots keep on attacking me, I found this very strange, how did they even know where I was, come to think of it. I may not even be safe at home." Peterson said annoyed
"It's because of the medallion they are able to detect your location whenever you use it's power, and sometimes , you don't even need to use its power but somehow it still sends signals like a tracked red dot on a radar ." Lili explained.
"Dude we need to get stronger and fast, otherwise we will be dog's meat." Jean-Daniel whispered.
Wilkens looked at everyone also whispered. " My shadow seems really powerful, and I think my strength is only limited due to my imagination, I need to train my brain to make better use of my skills."
Amanda and Miranda wanted to say something, but they feel like outsiders since they don't have powers.
"Lili! Can you please help us train, I know you probably know more about the medallion's power better than I, right ?" Peterson asked
Lili replied " Sure thing, I'm not here to kidnap you like the others wanted to, besides I'm only here to see how strong you can get using this strange power, and Note boys, I'm known up here as Ti Zaka ( Little Zaka) So I'd appreciate if you keep calling me just Lili and never add the Zaka behind it, otherwise my dad's worshippers will report that they seen my physical form which is a very big deal. " Lili said with a frown
They all shook their heads in understanding. "We understand, your secret is safe with us." Peterson said
"Very well" Lili replied instantly .
Wilkens smirked and say " Welcome to the team ."
Jean-Daniel tapped his back while laughing " hahaha, a new strong member added to the Voodoo Clan"
"By the way Wilkens, can you fast travel me home, bro?"
Jean-Daniel said scratching his head
"Unable to fast travel to location, fast travel checkpoint has not been discovered or unlocked yet, $300 to temporarily use this skill"
Wilkens said in a robotic tone.
Jean-Daniel, blinked .
Wilkens burst in laughter. "I'm just joking man, hahaha , I got you bro."
They all laughed at Jean-Daniel confused face .
The girls offered Lili to sleep with them.
"Thank you, girls, I'll make sure not to tickle your feet in the middle of the night. " Lili said with a grin
The girls face darkened.
Wilkens placed his hand on Jean-Daniel's shoulder.
"Alright yall, off we go, and, goodnight"
They both sinks into the shadows
After a twenty minutes chat, They all went to bed, Peterson opens his system looking through his skills and level, he also check his party skills and level.
