Ash never knew the pain of losing a loved one. But all that changed with the tide of time when presently he was on his knees as he clutched closely to his body, the head of Zara.
"Mom, mom... Please open your eyes. I told you didn't I, I won't make you worry again. So please wake up....." Ash said as he held Zara tightly, tears profusely pour down from the tip of his eyes. He was so confused he didn't know what to say.
Zara was completely burnt, even though she was at the verge of dying, even though she couldn't see with her eye, even though all she felt was pain. She rose her hand and reached for Ash's face.
"M.... Mom, you are alive.." He said with a painful chuckle.
"I.... have something... to tell you. Are you... listening my dear." She barely squeezed out the words from her mouth.
"What is it mom, it can wait. Let me go get an ambulance."
Zara held tight his hand.
"Please, just listen"
Ash knelt down again. Crying more than before.
"If at all there was one regret I have, it is that I am not your real mother..."
Ash was so confused. What is she saying, what is she saying, what did she just say. I must have heard wrong he said to himself.
"Mom, stop saying all that, I understand that you are in pain but still please stop saying you are not my mother. It hurts."
"Don't interrupt me please, you need to know about your.... true identity. I didn't give birth.... to you. You were given to me, to take care of you and your father is.... He is...." Those were her last words.
"Hey mom, moom, mooooom, don't die on me mom. Tell me, what is it you want to tell me... Dammit, what's happening here?"
"Hey kid, come with us if you don't want to end up like your beloved mother." The earth ability user said with a smirk....
"This mother and son melodramatic image is unfortunately burned into the back of my mind... Let's ends this, it's too disgusting." The fire ability user said in a maniacal manner.
Ash's eyes widened, he doesn't understand what was happening. He looked at the enemies and saw how they were conveniently laughing and mocking him.
"It was all their fault, be..because of them my mother is dead.. She died and all they are doing is mocking me... I won't stand for this. What is this pain I feel, why won't it stop. Please stop laughing.. Just... Stop.." He said to himself.
From frustration,
to rage.
Ash was filled to the brim with rage. His eyes had a bright yellow glow. His body was emitting a fierce yellow aura. He stood up, staggering towards the enemies.
"What the hell. He has awakened his ability already. This is such a drag." The fire ability user said.
The earth ability user attempted to barricade Ash, but failed.
Ash stretched his hands backwards and used fire to propel himself toward the earth ability user. He used earth to encircle his hands and solidified till it got to the metal state.
When he was about to attack the earth ability user, his partner intervened by sending a huge fire wave.
Ash couldn't dodge the attack due to the way he charged at the earth ability user... He got hit.
"J.. Just now.." The earth ability said shivering.
" Yeah.... I saw it too. He may have just awakened his abilities but the level at which he is using it now is really mind bugling. I guess there's a certain amount of destructive power you can get before you get the attention of the Lord."
Ash hits his feet on the ground and changes its topography using the earth ability users power. The fire ability user flew up with the aid of his fire technique throwing fire balls while the earth ability users raised a wall to shield himself from the destructive attack. Ash dodged a few of the fire ability users attack but got hit by others, he was fighting them like a beast without any care. All that was in his mind was to kill them.
"I... will kill you..." He said in a growly manner as he fumes.
"This kid is strangely taking the attacks head on without receiving any fatal damage. He is gonna be a handful if we let him leave this place. At this rate we will both die, you should go and report this, I will hold him off." The fire ability user said.
"What do you mean, let's stick around together we have a better chance of winning that way. Are you abandoning your mission or something?"
"That's not the case, I have taken much damage from his mother already, going back is not possible I will just hold you back and end up dying anyway. This is more logical."
The earth ability user's eyes were filled with tears, so this is the resolve of a dying man, he said to himself.
"I will go but please don't die." He said as he turns to leave.
"Haha, no promises. Now get out of here." He said trying to man up.
Ash started bleeding from his eyes and nose...
"I will kill you.... I will kill you, I won't let you escape" Ash raves mindlessly.
His body can't take anymore. His demon powers is resisting his slayer powers. His body is like a war zone between his cells. Yellow fighting black.
