The man flew up to the building holding a long golden spear. He snickered then said, "Now this will be fun."
He threw his spear towards them. The spear flew right next to Tatsuya's head which left him wide eyed and shocked. Minyul picked up Tatsuya in his arms, he flapped his wings, and he flew off into the sky.
"Oh where are you going now? You must know that you can't escape me by now." The man said as he grabbed his spear and flew towards Minyul. He slashed Minyul's wing with his spear and broke it. With one wing unable to function, he used his one wing and roughly landed onto the top of another building.
"Are you okay?" Minyul asked. He was sweating and his face was twisted which showed that he was in pain.
"Yes I'm fine, but let me take the flying from here since your wing is damaged." Tatsuya said while looking sadly at Minyul's wing.
"But what if he slashes yours too." he said worryingly.
"Don't you remember. I have six wings so I doubt him just slashing one would bring me to much trouble. And plus, I think this would be a good chance to use some illusion magic." Tatsuya said while smiling.
Tatsuya unleashed all of his big black wings. He grabbed Minyul's arm, put it around his neck, and used his other hand to hold Minyul's waist. He flapped all six of his wings and shot into the sky.
The man chased after him, but was shocked at what he had seen. As he saw these huge, strong, and pitch black wings coming out of the boys body, he just stared. He was mesmerized by the boy who looked incredibly young, but had such strong power. In an old record he saw that if you took the virginity of an Atan and swore a blood oath with them, then you could gain immense power. The man's eyes were filled with joy and excitement for he had a chance to gain such power. This made him intrigued and want Tatsuya even more.
The man used more golden strings and he launched them towards Tatsuya, though once the strings touched him, their image had disappeared from the man's sight.
"What the heck!?" the man exclaimed. He was sure that they were in his grasp. 'Where did they go!?' he thought while looking around.
Tatsuya and Minyul were in an alleyway hiding from the man. Tatsuya kept creating more and more illusions to try to keep the man busy.
Tatsuya gently touched Minyul's broken wing with sadness in his eyes. Minyul winced everytime his wing moved to much. Tatsuya thought, 'I wish I could make his wing better.' Just after he thought that his eyes glowed bright gold and the light danced on Minyul's wing. As the light encased his wing, it felt warm and comforting. Once the light dissipated and Tatsuya's eyes were back to normal, Minyul's wing was completely healed and he was able to move it again.
The two were very happy since now they would be able to escape fast, but their happiness was soon destroyed. The same golden strings from earlier appeared and wrapped them both is a deathly grip.
"That was a fun little game of chase, you almost lost me for a second," the man said while chuckling and walking towards them. He pointed the tip of his spear right at Tatsuya's face and said, "Hey boy, you're an Atan, correct?"
Tatsuya didn't answer and instead he just glared at the man in disgust. He wanted nothing more than to escape. He wanted people to help save them. The next moment, Tatsuya's eyes did something that he never did before. His left eye turned dark blue and his right eye turned light purple. In a flash of lightning, three figures appeared. Two of which were his shadow servants that he summoned before and the third was the legendary cerberus appeared. The hellhound's heads bit and snapped at the angel as it menacingly walked forward.
The angel staggered backward as the hound attacked him. The two shadow servants cut the golden strings and protected the two as they made their escape. The servants ran through the alleyways with Minyul and Tatsuya following close behind.
The four ran all the way back to Tatsuya's apartment. Once they were inside, the two put away their wings and Minyul put up a barrier in order to hide their presence from the angel. The two servants disappeared back into the shadows leaving only Minyul and Tatsuya in the room. Both were out of breath and were panting while leaning on the wall in the living room.
Minyul asked while still out of breath, "...Was that... Cerberus?"
Tatsuya replied, "I think so..... I mean it was a hellhound with three heads so... I think."
"I can't believe it.... Cerberus is a legendary creature of hell and it's said that only the god of death can summon him and yet you were able to," Minyul chuckled, "I guess it just goes to show how powerful you are."
Minyul placed his hand on top of Tatsuya's. The two held hands while taking deep breaths to calm down. Their heavy breathing turned quiet as they both caught their breath. Tatsuya leaned his head on Minyul's shoulder then said, "Why was that angel targeting me?"
Minyul placed his arm around Tatsuya's shoulder, pulling him close. He replied, "He was probably sent to either kill or capture you in service of heaven. Though he didn't have much luck since you're so powerful." He gently kissed the top of Tatsuya's head and the two sat in silence, both thinking about what happened.
Though not soon later, Tatsuya got up and walked to an empty space in the room taking deep breaths. Minyul asked, "What are you doing?"
Tatsuya turned to face Minyul and said, "If I can summon Cerberus than I need to get the hand of it and see if I can summon anything else."
Tatsuya closed his eyes and took many deep breaths. Though no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't summon anything. This made him angry as he slouched in defeat. Minyul got up and hugged Tatsuya from behind. He grabbed Tatsuya's hand and placed his on the back. He said to him, "What did you think about when you summoned him before?"
"I thought about you being in danger and I couldn't bear it." Tatsuya said sadly.
Minyul chuckled and said, "Now hold onto that feeling. Remember how you felt when I was in danger, but don't let that feeling get out of control or you may summon something even more dangerous."
Tatsuya did as he said and his eyes turned light purple. A dim glow filled the room and Cerberus appeared in front of them. The hellhound sat there content and looked up at Tatsuya. The hound had a thick dark brown coat and it's eyes were fiery red that seemed to glow. Tatsuya slowly placed his hand in front of it. The heads sniffed his hand one at a time before bowing down as a sign of respect and obedience. He slowly placed his hand on the hounds fur. He stroked the back with the thick but soft fur sliding between his fingers. Minyul did the same and Cerberus once again bowed his heads in respect.
Not much later, Cerberus disappeared and Tatsuya's eyes returned to normal. He leaned back into Minyul's chest and said, "I did it, I was able to summon Cerberus."
"You did great." Minyul said lovingly, "But you're gonna also need a weapon. Every demon has a special weapon that only they use. We just have to find what you'll be using." He thought for a while before saying, "Focus on your hand, concentrate on feeling your special weapon in your palm. Don't focus on a certain type, just focus on the feeling."
Tatsuya opened his hand and closed his eyes. He focussed on the feeling and muscles in his hand. The more he concentrated, the more real the handle. A sword slowly appeared in his palm. The sword was averagely sized, but it was extremely durable. The handle was black with golden accents and a bright red jewel in the center. The blade itself was dark blood red near the handle and faded black towards the end. The handle sat perfectly comfortable in Tatsuya's hand. Tatsuya exclaimed with happiness, "I did it! I was able to summon my own weapon!"
The weapon disappeared and Tatsuya jumped towards Minyul. He wrapped his arms around him and said, "Thank you so much."
Minyul laughed and returned the hug. He replied with happiness and contentment, "You're welcome. Just know I'll always be hear for you."
