Chapter 8 - The kid that hated sleeping (1)

10000 years ago Dimourgas fell on earth for the first time. The ancients did treat him well and respected him, as a token of gratitude Dimourgas taught them how to manipulate the fifth missing element.

There was nature which has four elements : Water, Air, Earth and Fire. Yet besides nature the ancients couldn't explain the soul. Dimourgas knew how to manipulate the soul element and found an alternative way to connect all the living things into one being, it was .

Everybody's soul is connected to the highest form of energy, he called it the core.

Marbas found the coin he gave Terric on the floor.

° He maybe left it in purpose.°

" Did you see the magic ? *He began trying his new body parts* Oh they look cool."

" You didn't tell me who you are ! "

" Oh fuck my manners, sorry sir Marbas !

My name is Tade. I'm an alchemist who was interested in you since the beginning. "

" Interested in me why ? "

Tade put his hand on Marbas's chest

" I'm totally right, you don't have any Aether yet you are able to manipulate your Auroeal and use Ki. You are the key to change the world sir ! "

" Change the world ? What the fuck do you mean ? "

" I want to ask you a question sir. Do you think this life is fair ? "

" I think it is ! "

" Oh no ! Life's not fair, my friend. While some are born to feast, others are born to serve ! "

" Well if you expect life to be fair to you because you are fair with it, it's like expecting a lion to not eat you because you don't eat lion ! Life, or the gods are not fair, fuck them all ! Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot, till the gods bless you or a lord have pity on you. Make it hot by striking, by surpassing your own potential, by rising above all men and becoming the superior being ! "

Tade was impressed from what he've heared. This man can really change the world and he was right !

" We'll make a good team ! "

" Sorry to disappoint you though but I would like to work solo ! "

" I can help you with supportive magic think of it ! "

" Not interested ! "

Tade thought for a moment and found a brilliant idea :

" What if I can get you to your missing friends ! "

" So you're responsible for this ! "

Marbas took his dagger and threatened him. Tade on the other hand took the coin from Marbas's hand :

" I can find them with this ! Trust me I wasn't responsible for this ! "

" Okey show me what you can do. "

" Hello ? I can't think with a dagger pointed in my heart. "

Marbas took away his dagger. Tade took a small relic stone with a hole inside of it and whistled. They both saw a giant shadow under their feet. They though it was the sunset. The wind was blowing so hard and when Marbas rose his head to the sky what he saw was magnificent. It was the first time he saw such a beautiful and strong creature. It had the claws of a lion, the wings of a dragon, the body of a bear and a horse's muzzle. It landed in front of them, it height was around 200 meters.

" This massive creature you see now is a Majestic Shifter* ! Let's hop in ! "

They both jumped into the creature's back and it was so soft.

" How can he tell where they are ? "

" She and her name is Lissandra ! Watch this "

Tade took the coin and placed it besides Lissandra's nose. The creature suddenly stood and with immense force jumped to the air.

" It should now get us to your missing friends " Tade declared.

" You're helping me in exchange for what ? " Marbas asked.

Tade answered with flames of excitement in his eyes :

" That I get to be your companion until you find this Haboryn "

Marbas was suprised :

" How can you know this name ? "

Tade responded confidently :

" I told you ! I know everything about you ! "

Marbas didn't care, he always used to be the center of attention.

" So what you say ? I can help you in all your journey ! "

" Fuck ! "

Tade grinned :

" Yes ! So we have a deal ! "

" Tssssk " Marbas rasped.

The sounds of screamings in agony, the smell of blood and rotten corpses. The scent of suffering and agony. That's what Kerseyrr is and it's bloody prison Zarrac.

A bold tall man have just finished torturing someone. He took off his red gloves that supposed to be white, they were full of blood that changed their color.

A guard entered. He had a golden serpent logo inscribed in his amor.

" Excuse me for interrupting you lord Baldric, I have news for you from our special units. It's chief Odoin. He captured the boy and a girl he thinks she knows the culprit. They are at the Hallowbloom Lair in Silveia Forest. "

Baldric remained silence. He was thinking of something.

" Sir- "

" Shhhhhh " Baldric complained.

He then washed his hands and his face from blood.

" Excellent work ! *Baldric chortled* send a raven to him. He should await for us. Tell him to not come to us by any way. "

" Roger that sir ! Shall we tell him to maximize the security ! "

" Haha no need. They could never stand a chance against Odoin's Yuzzy Yuzzy. What a fucking name ! I told him many times to change it. You can dismiss ! "

The guard left.

" Did you hear that my love. Haha your brother is in our hands ! "

He was talking to someone. It was a chained naked young girl with long black hair and full of blood and torture marks. Her face was wounded so it was hard to recognize her. She was Amanda !

Lissandra landed on a dark forest, in front of a cave. They jumped to the ground. Marbas was worried :

" Wait something is strange ! Why are there no guards to protect the place ? " Marbas doubted.

" C'mon stop being a pussy ! They are probably inside the cave ! "

" Is cautious means pussy in your dictionary ? I should have left you in Treco. "

" C'mom why so serious man. I was only teasing you ! "

" Let's stop wasting time and go. "

They entered the cave but Marbas remained worried.

° Why can't I feel their aura ? °

Marbas was thinking when Tade interrupted him :

" Marbas do you smell that ? It's like a violent's scent, it's so beautiful ! "

" How can violets grow in a cave ? "

" Marbas I wanna tell you something ! "

" What again ? "

" I just want to tell you that I really like you and I wish I can spend my last day with you. Don't you know how many years I've waited to be in an adventure with you ! "

He tried to hug Marbas.

" What the fuck ? Let go of me you weirdo ! "

Marbas suddenly felt someone else's aura. He was right in front of him. He had a brown skin and pink hair. Two chained persons were besides him. Marbas recognized them. They were Emma and Terric, however he couldn't see their auras.

" Tade ! The enemy is right in front of us ! "

Tade was blushing : " I think I'm in love with you Marbas ! Would you be my charming prince ! "

The stranger spoke : " Too late ! Your friend is already under the effects of my Yuzzy Yuzzy, this is my Aether ability ! "

Tade suddenly felt on the ground like a dead person. Marbas couldn't see his aura anymore, he checked if his heart was beating yet it stopped.

" You fucking killed them ! "

" No believe me I didn't ! They are all asleep. "

" And How can they not breath ? " Marbas asked.

" Those are the wonders of Aether boy. The effect on you took a long time, you sure have a great resistance. Don't worry ! You only have one minute left and then you'll fall to my Yuzzy Yuzzy . "

The stranger was waiting for Marbas to give up and fall into despair yet what he saw howled him. Marbas smiled with glowing eyes and unleashed his blood lust :

" That's more than enough to kick your ass ! "
