Marian High’s team was pressuring Green Tales as soon as the second half started. The striker twin, Renly moved forward with incredible speed, dribbling the ball only to be tackled by Blake. A smooth passing brought the ball to Alex who charged the attack from the left wing.
He passed the center mid twin, Henry and gave a long pass to Grey. The latter didn't disappoint as he made a goal with Alex’s wonderful assist. The twins were flabbergasted seeing Alex and Blake’s speed. The match continued with an intense clash between both the teams. Last 5 minutes remained as the score had tied. With Marian High’s kick off, the twins moved quickly.
This time both Alex and Blake weren’t able to tackle them. The twins had moved into their defense line. Renly was going in for a shoot but his shoot didn’t have much power due to Grey’s slide tackle. Moose was able to block it. He immediately kicked it forward towards Blake and Alex. With the twins behind, the two moved like wind through the other players.
Blake feigned a shoot and the goal keeper fell for it. Taking the opportunity, he shot in the other side of the net but Henry had made it back in time and saved it with a slide. However, Alex reacted quickly as the ball bouncing back from Henry was shot again into the goal by him. Thereafter only 1 minute remained which Green Tales survived and secured their victory.
As Alex and Blake were returning to their changing rooms, they noticed the twin brothers looking at them.
Alex, “So what is their deal? There are mages on earth?”
Blake, “Of course there are. Though they won’t even make 0.5% of the total world’s population, they are there. Running into two, that was unexpected.”
The team were to have lunch at Marian High. Their bus back would leave till 5:00 p.m. and so they had plenty of time to go about in Bellow Wood Town. Alex and Blake were about leave when Nova spotted them.
“Where’s Grey? Wasn’t he here just a second ago?” Nova asked.
Alex, “Yeah, he was, but he ran off to… I don’t know where?”
“Probably there.” Blake pointed at Grey talking to two girls trying to make them laugh.
Nova sighed. “Nothing less from Grey: The Greatest Rejection.”
“Anyways, I don’t think I want to have lunch here, where should we go? We have 4 hours to ourselves. I wish Tom and the others were also here but they didn’t allow spectators to stay for long.” Nova said looking around.
Alex, “Well we were thinking of going somewhere um…” Alex and Blake were here for one more thing aside from the tournament. They were going to meet up with someone to retrieve an artifact. Alex didn’t think that Nova was also going to be there because of a quiz competition. Now he was debating on whether to bring him along or not.
Blake, “We were going to my relative’s house. They stay here in Bellow Wood.”
Nova, “Cool I can come too, right?”
Alex, “Yeah sure.” Blake was about to refuse but Alex invited him before that.
“Morgan, you sure this is a good idea bringing him along with us?” Blake asked in a whisper as they walked behind Nova.
“Yeah, I mean you said that this was Augustus’s trusted aid, right?”
Blake, “Yeah it is…”
Alex, “Don’t worry, you talk with the contact, I’ll keep Nova busy with me.”
After taking a bus and travelling for some 30 minutes they reached a residential area.
“The Gordon’s?” Nova asked looking at the name plate.
“But didn’t you say they were relatives. Your sur—
Blake, “Yeah they are relatives, just with different family names.”
Nova, “Oh I see…” Blake rang the bell and after a few seconds, a tall man in formal clothes opened the door.
He furrowed his brows as he looked at the three teenagers before him.
“Hello Uncle… I was here for the football match and so decided to drop by.” Blake nervously waved his hand in a hello. The man looked with a little suspicion before nodding his head and gestured them to come in. Blake went with the man to his study while Alex and Nova waited in living room.
Nova, “I don’t think they’re on friendly terms.”
“Yeah, I think so, anyway Blake just has to take something of his quick and we’ll leave anyway.”
What Blake had said at the start was the code words, letting that man know that Augustus had sent him.
“What are you doing here?" A boy who entered the living room asked surprised.
“Who is it?” Another person's voice came from behind him.
Alex, “Yo, I didn’t know you guys lived here.”
Alex knew them or more accurately he met them today during the match today. They were none other than those twins.
