"Ahh" Wukong had woke up and begun stretching his tired limbs and began yawning, before finally lowering his hands down and with that said he took back in his power and opened the makeshift coarse door before exiting.
He began trekking down the forest and finally saw an exit in front, he saw in front of him was a block to all the trees he had seen with no trees at all in his sight.
Swiftly he made his way through to the empty expanse, and finally all he saw was a huge gate towering above him that was currently open and there he saw next to him was a road with a carriage of some sort and judging by the looks of it, the people were probably nobles.
Through his journey here all Wukong had was a black pant and shirt that hugged onto his twelve year old body, but after all his experiences and the brief encounter between the 'Savage Blade Tiger' his clothes had in essence been ripped to shreds.
And in the morning he had discovered that the first level of Ranks and Realms had ignited the user with Grey Qi or Inner Qi and the user had to advance to go to the next level, the Grey Qi was a dull colour but if Strengthened could result in terrifying attacks.
While Wukong was thinking a carriage nearby to him was suddenly stopped he couldn't see the problem but he then noticed another carriage coming by the noble one, at this he squinted his eyes to see and saw that some men in Black Clothing were in the newly arrived carriage.
Because Wukong was still near the forest the people from the roads did not see him at all and were oblivious towards his existence. Soon the black clothed men jumped out of their hansom cab and stepped in front of the now still noble carriage.
"Hey.. Get out of the damn vehicle I mean no harm to any of you here as long as you give me your valuables, did you hear me only your valuables and nothing of waste quality!"
Then a shorter Male near the seemingly now known boss said out loud, "Yeah you heard boss give out your money and all or else we'll have to kill you!!"
The nobles response were "..... ...." the people were annoyed as this was their first outing with their boss in acquiring valuables and all they were learning the trade, and soon they became furious and frustrated at the seemingly mute character within the carriage.
"I swear you people don't know what's good for you, now hurry up and don't think you can fight back my boss is a Elemental Mastery 2 Star Awakener so I suggest you hand over your items!"
While saying this the lackey turned over to look at his boss who was nodding in compliance and soon the boss released his Grey Qi unique to a Elemental Mastery Realm Awakener.
Still it was met by ".... ....." simple silence. This seemed to have triggered the boss as he soon brought out his Grey Qi to max and blasted it out rough and coarse as it was it still was stronger than titanium the energy blast was and soon it smashed head on into the carriage.
"Booom...." was all that escaped the boss' mouth but unexpectedly the "Boom!!" Never occurred rather just smoke and soon it was rushed away like air.
"What... How can this be. No this is not according to the script Boss made, he said a few intimidating words would work but it seems he was wrong!!"
With that said the lackey on the Boss Bandit quickly ran, as fast as he could as he knew that if he stayed any longer his fate would be sealed into death.
In just a few seconds he had run so far he couldn't see the carriages and his boss and then he "Sigh.." in relief and headed straight for the town in front.
Unbeknownst to the lackey was, that the Boss did not like cowards and the sort and while the non-Awakener was running the Boss sent some Grey Qi towards him, in only five seconds the lackey who was running towards the town disintegrated into dust.
This showed the Boss' way of thinking, he didn't like those who were cowards and fear filled and so he decided to get rid of the trash. The nearby lackeys also saw this and gulped in fear, they knew that as non-Awakeners they wouldn't stand a chance at all against their Boss.
At this time the Boss rushed into the noble carriage and tried to destroy it as to vent his anger, however he failed miserably and he saw a hint of Bronze Qi meaning the other was a complete Realm above him.
And with that the Bronze Qi instantly shredded the man to pieces as well as his lackeys, in an instant they were gone Wukong just gulped in shock and surprise at the Power Of this mysterious person Who was she/he??
"Come out Child, I mean no harm to you!"
Said a voice as smooth as a buttercup the voice was; instantly Wukong could tell the one within the carriage was a female, judging by her voice she seemed to be quite delicate, rather beautiful just from hearing her voice.
When the young boy heard this he knew he had no escape seeing as how the bandits had died such terrible deaths so he quickly regained his mind and headed towards with some fast steps, and finally he was near the door of the carriage.
And the weird thing was he only know knew that there were no horses or driver as if the vehicle was an automobile, he was near the door and then heard, "Don't worry you can enter the carriage Child"
"...Gulp"
"Sigh..."
With these being the only things he could do he entered and saw that inside the carriage was simply luxury and the like, and then saw sitting down upon the fine material was a woman of about 32-34 years old judging by her clothes she also seemed to be a noble.
From where he was sitting he could see her cleavage, the woman had an hourglass figure with soft white skin, platinum blonde to silver hair.
The woman had the hair colour white and had it in a platt her hair was interwoven and looked amazing especially her eyes that looked as calm as ripples within a lake they seemed to be as blue as the sky.
Through those eyes Wukong could see himself and he had become lost in that vision and for five minutes straight all he did was stare at her sky blue eyes as if a precious jewel that was so eye catching one couldn't resist putting out their vision upon it.
"Ahem... *Cough, have you done enough staring Child" the woman said clearly she was stunned by this as she never thought a ten year old she presumed would do this not to mention she gained a blush as well for the first time in her life too, she was only 30.
"... No your features are truly eye capturing Miss I can't help but lay my eyes upon you to enjoy such a view truly you have no imperfections in my eyes..." Wukong said as serious as he could he didn't know why but he felt like this woman had a special connection to himself.
He felt for the first time some kind of happiness upon meeting someone other than his beloved mother, he didn't know what this feeling was but his heart was increasing its beat at a rate uncountable in the human world.
The woman then began to look at the ten year olds features, tanned skin with a handsome face and spiky jet black hair that seemed to defy gravity with two bangs coming down, and with charcoal pupils for eyes.
Soon the awkward silence and intense staring was over, while the woman was thinking, 'oh what am I thinking he's only ten but he is the first a Male has been this close to me other than my family, and he looks so cute that hair as well'
While outwardly she said to Wukong with a voice trying to break the awkwardness, "Umm.. so what's your name kid and your clothes they are tattered to bits don't you have any spares and also where's your guardian?"
With that said Wukong Finally came back to his mind and then said, "My name is Wukong no last name; the reason there tattered is because I had spent my days trying to escape from the Town Of Avarice and while doing so I went into the forest causing this and thirdly I.. have no guardian..."
As he said the last answer Wukong felt emotional again he agreed to stop feeling that yet it still came back, and then he remembered his mother on the ground motionless In Eternal Slumber he remembered she overworked herself and then she left him.
He knew he could never see her again he wanted to steel his emotions but couldn't do it he tried though, it didn't help or change anything at all.
"Badump!!"
Was the sound his heart made he didn't know the reason why but he felt like he should try to impress the woman in front of him.
"I.. I-I didn't know I'm sorry for your loss, and looking at your clothes it seems you were most likely the last survivor of the 'Scarlet' at such a young age to lose your parents, must be shocking"
The woman felt empathy towards Wukong as the child had lost his parents and had nowhere to go and if she wasn't here he would have most likely been killed by the bandits or be forced into slavery.
"Well Wukong how about it, would you consider becoming my family, you see I too myself understand your pain I once had a family but they were taken away from me, but I learnt that Life simply goes on, so do you want to follow me"
The woman said in full seriousness to Wukong when he heard what the Woman said he was overjoyed, he had found someone again someone to care for him even though it hadn't been long these days to him it felt like an eternity.
"Umm miss what is your name, and yes I agree to become your new family, but why would you take in me a total stranger to your home I don't get it!"
"Well to answer your question Wukong my name is Lucia Frost; but you can call me Lucy, or Big Sister anything you want, and to answer your other question well the reason I'm being so kind and kindred towards you is because... well I've experienced the emotions your feeling and you reminded me of my younger brother who was also called Wukong, Wukong Frost"
"I don't think our meeting was a coincidence rather a link between us, I mean your name being the same as my brothers can't be a coincidence it only further proves we have a link or rope that is pulling us together."
