Lisa signed the paper given to her and then stepped out of the room as ordered by the emperor. It was improper for anybody to look during the awakening except the child and the emperor, Lisa was very well aware of this, because she could still remember when her parents brought her to awaken her spirit soul. Bruce was somewhat composed right now, although he had lost everything, he still had a choice, maybe he might just live to achieve what his dad couldn't achieve. The emperor directed Bruce to stand in a circle that was drawn in the middle of the room. Bruce then stepped into the circle that was drawn in the middle of the room. "Brace yourself kid, you might not like the ride", the emperor told Bruce.
He then began some incantation drawing some signs into the air. His eyes shone white light, at this point Bruce was amazed, was this the might of an emperor?? how powerful is an emperor?? just as Bruce was thinking to himself, a golden light enveloped him raising him into the air.
Bruce felt a sharp pain go through his spine, a golden light was drawn round his body, it was like golden blood flowing through his meridian. The emperor was amazed, he had never seen such a situation like this before. Bruce had his eyes closed all this while not knowing what was going on his body. The pain flowed to his fingers and then to his toes, he felt as if he was developing claws, his face taking a different shape, he could feel his feet enlarging, he felt something struggling to break through his back, the pain was almost making him go mad, although the pain could not be compared to the pain a woman felt during delivery, it couldn't be considered far from it. Not minding the pain, even if he didn't like it he just had to endure it.
However, with all Bruce felt, nothing had happened physically. The emperor kept watching and hadn't witnessed anything happen on the outside. The emperor at this point was speechless cause this alone was not possible, yet it was happening in his presence. Had this kid planned to waste his time??
Then the golden glow disappeared from Bruce body, he then fell in the middle of he circle sweating profusely. He looked up to the emperor slightly confused, the emperor didn't show any sign of joy or anger or something, he was there without any emotions attached to his face.
The emperor was confused, because a golden glow had never engulfed any child during the awakening. Anytime a child's spirit soul was awakened, the child would immediately transform to their spirit soul and transform back after the awakening, but in this case a golden glow had only engulfed Bruce, yet he hadn't transformed into anything, what kind of situation was this??
"Emperor!!" Bruce bellowed at the emperor bringing him back to the land of the living. Lisa stormed into the room at this moment, "what happened? what is your spirit soul?" sha asked Bruce who was still looking at the emperor. The emperor looked at both parties simultaneously and shook his head, "he doesn't have one!". what?? what did he just say? did he just say Bruce didn't have a spirit soul? after all we have seen, how could he be saying that, was he pulling our legs??
Lisa looked at him in astonishment, what was this man trying to say, was he even qualified to be called an emperor?? after the feat Bruce had pulled off in the firm, even if someone had told her a child who hadn't awakened his spirit soul pulled that off she wouldn't have believed it and would have been willing to put up a fight with such an individual, but behold who was telling her, a soul emperor. Was this a joke?? it better be joke, after all she had invested, this is how it was supposed to end up? Or maybe it was somebody else's spiritual soul. Shit, she thought it was this kid's. So she had wasted, time, money and resources altogether. How was she supposed to get promoted, how was she supposed to get back all the Money she had invested in this child. Right now, it was obvious that Bruce and his dad were an abomination, that's why nature had been trying to kill them. Nature was trying to end this generation of waste. Maybe there was something this two must have done to be hated so much by nature.
"nice one emperor, you almost caught me in that one, your joking right??", Lisa smiled sheepishly, looking at the emperor more seriously who wasn't smiling at all and had worn a stern expression throughout the whole process. She then turned and looked at Bruce disappointed in the outcome of this event.
Bruce was lost in thoughts right now, where is my spirit soul?? what was all the pain he felt if he hadn't unlocked a spirit soul?? What have I done to deserve such luck from nature, this was nothing close to good luck. It wasn't even luck at all, it was pure wickedness and hatred towards himself and his family.
His dad was left on the streets when he was young not even unlocking his spirit soul, he was left there to die. Somehow, nature didn't kill him, it let him survive to suffer, his dad married his mom. Mom died when he was born, now the job of babysitting was left to his dad, his dad had taken care of him up till this age and now he was dead, killed by a bunch of good-for-nothings, they had taken his dad life without him being able to do anything to stop them, finally the worst part of it was that he hadn't even unlocked anything. Was he supposed to be happy.
"Sorry child, there is nothing I can do, you must be quite unlucky". The clock then made a dong! sound signifying that a new day was dawn.
Bruce stared at it with so much anger filling his heart. Immediately, Bruce stood up from the centre of the circle with tears filling his eyes, he ran to the window opened it and jumped out.
