Chapter 60: Healing

Reed was about to continue when the impending doom started to sound its shrieks. Bryst Mansion will never take its rest from all the attacks.
"Drea take Dylan out of here, a helicopter is waiting for the both of you at the rooftop." Reed ordered.
Drea immediately nodded, no further words were needed. She dragged Dylan upstairs. The king still has a lot of questions left to ask but he needs to set them aside. This is also part of Reed's plan. He can't let Dylan know more details about the Battle, he can't fight. If he represents Bluemierre the other kings might take advantage of his condition.
The laughter of hyenas from the outside was too loud, Reed is now aware of who the hunters are. The first prince took his steps, he headed out to command Bluemierre of what should they do.
From the inside of the mansion, Drea and Dylan's phase were quick. They were able to reach the rooftop, they can hear the sound of whirling blades, the helicopter has landed.
Drea moved even faster, and soon they were able to reach the rooftop. The pilot signaled them to hurry inside, the wind around the vehicle was strong, almost everything was blown away.
Drea went inside first, then Dylan followed.
"We'll take off now." The pilot warned them of the turbulence.
Slowly, the helicopter lifted itself upward. Dylan could see what is happening outside the mansion, but he saw no one. Something scares him even more, it's the thought that they might have entered the vicinity.
The pilot started the flight. They were in speed, not for long they left the mansion. Dylan and Drea is unaware of where they are going, but they trust Reed.
The track was unfamiliar for the both of them, they are getting far from the city. Trees started to appear. Drea already knew of where they might be going. The fresh air almost erased stress. The forest was calming. It was a gloomy day but Drea and Dylan was able to enjoy the beautiful view.
"I wish to live here someday." Drea said in a loud voice.
Dylan heard her, it made him smile. Drea gave Dylan an indirect idea.
"Yeah, this place is fantastic!" He replied.
The flight lasted for 30 minutes, the pilot started to prepare the helicopter for landing. Drea can see the helipad below, they're here. Slowly, the pilot landed.
"This is how far I can take you both. Take care of the king, Drea!" The pilot shouted.
Drea replied.
"Yes, I will!"
After the short conversation, they went out and the pilot left with no minute wasted. He seems to be in a hurry. After the surroundings was crowded with a loud silence, Drea looked around.
"Bluemierre's secret hideout." She mouthed.
The place was covered in tall trees. No one can suspect that a building could be inside the forest, the architect is a genius. People heard the landing, a few came out to welcome their king. They have expected his coming, Reed instructed them about this earlier.
"Welcome our king..." The youngest among all reapers spoke.
Dylan looked towards his direction. To his sight, he is a very handsome boy. Tall nose, thin lips, fair skin and green eyes complimented effortlessly.
"Thank you, where are we?" To know the place furthermore, Dylan asked.
Liam moved closer as he answered.
"We're in Alegria. Let's go inside." Liam escorted them.
Drea and Dylan followed, the helipad wasn't far from the building, but as Drea walk, she noticed strange noises from the woods. Her peripheral vision told her that there are movements as well. Her senses worked attentively. She acted as if nothing is happening.
Liam could sense the noise too but he did not mind them. Finally, they've reached the entrance of the hideout. It wasn't unlike any other buildings that people might expect where mafia leagues hangout. It was clean, and spotless.
The whole building looks like a home, it was arranged. The two home visitors went inside. Many greeted them, this secret place became a vicinity for peacekeepers. They've been hunted for so long, and the woods gave them safety.
Someone offered Dylan a seat, and he took it. Peacekeepers bear their title honestly. Their faces were always filled with smiles. Drea can sense a jolly vibe in them. It made her smile too. She never saw this in her own family.
Dylan and Drea were at the living room. The flight was tiring for the both of them, but what happened earlier was even more occupying. The peace and order is at stake.
Dylan kept his silence. The others went on with their businesses. They have so many things left undone.
'I can't leave Reed alone. My younger brother needs me.' He concluded inside his mind.
His memories are still lost, this makes it harder for him to save his kingdom. He has no idea of what is happening or how will things happen. He is back, but not fully on action. Tension started eating him, he can't relax.
His face started turning red, thoughts ran and ran along his mind. Dylan is finding a way out of this. He saw how people hoped in him and how they expected him to save the mafia world.
As Dylan thought harder and harder, his mind started to contract. His eyesight began to turn dark slowly. The king is a bit dizzy. He is making his memories come back forcefully.
"Why can't I remember anything?!" Dylan stood up and exclaimed.
Everyone stopped and looked at him. They can see the sudden change of his expression. He is pressuring himself. His breathing started to become heavy, even his stand was no longer firm.
"Dylan, calm down." Drea advised but Dylan seem to have heard nothing from no one.
He applied more pressure to himself, the kingdom needs him, he can't be frail nor weak. That thought stressed him even more, the heavy breathing became heavier, the dizzy feeling started to go more vigorous, and not for long his eyelids collapsed.
The king saw nothing but pitch black darkness. The cold floor caught his fall. Instead of restoring, he destroyed himself.
