Chapter 7 - Guardian

SOUL BREED.... BLUE SWORD... AUQAMENT STONE... elements and their worshippers... all these are creating a chaos in my mind. I am so done with everything.

"Remember SWORD, don't let anyone know about this. Not even MAX, ONYX or anyone." He said in a dangerous whisper before I was leaving.

"There are people who are already irked and curious. Never ever try to draw any attention. The minute you breathe out about it, I will make sure you lose all your spirit power, I will make sure you lose all the internal vital energy, even at the cost of my life."

A chill ran down my spine when I heard that. This fight was everything for me. MASTER was my only family, the closest to a family. I couldn't afford losing both of them. I will be shattered. He was dead serious when he said all those. There was a hint of something... something strange in his eyes.

Hatred, anger , disappointment , fear... there were all. I have see them all. I recognise them well. But there was this certain emotion which only my mother had, responsibility and care. MASTER cares for me, the same way my mother used to. One thing I am very well in was reading emotions. It made me a pro in the ring. I failed reading master every time until today. Today... I saw something I never saw.

Things are getting screwed up even more. He is hiding something, from me from everyone. why did he ask me not to say a word?

I stop dead in my tracks when the realisation dawned. He is hiding me. he is saving me. From what or whom no one knows. He knew who I am, clear enough there are others who know too. He is afraid of losing me too. He knows too much, knows who is after me he knows them well. He hates them, he is disappointed in himself.

These thoughts make me shiver. That man is going through this just because of me. an angry tear escapes my eye.

I run back to him condo.

Bang.... bang....bang

Every bang echoed eve louder. Master slowly opened the door. There were no previous emotions in his eyes. It was again the same plain old eyes.

I stare at him blankly. The silence was even more deafening. As if he knows why I am staring at him he simply smiles " what is it again". that is it. This man is a god

I pull him into a hug and hug him tight. He is too precious to lose. " thank you master"

He simply pats my head and an angry tear roll down my eye. No matter what I will never let him down.

I let him go. He pats my head and heads inside.

He didn't say it but his eyes said it all. I have enemies everywhere; I have an undefined unknown responsibility.
