Flavius having fully able to adapt to the training with the first two weeks of crying. The training continued for months, to a year under the blazing sun, under the heavy rain, none of them run; none of them bail. The chanting of their names, the chanting of their likeness to their never giving in demeanor then almost five years later.
The last days Flavius and Herminia definitely able to wield the Red-blooded armour.
Flavius was seen, five years added to his age. His long curly hair, ribboned fillet sways in the wind. having an athletic body while in his training suit. A fainted facial hair was spotted on his cheeks.
He was excited for tomorrow was the day he and the EXTERMINATOR would become one at long last.
"Sorry I'm late." Herminia softly said coming from behind.
"Not at all, I just arri… " Flavius turned, as his mouth widened, his blue eyes glittered.
She look gorgeous! Having a round cheeks; her bushy eyebrows cornered above her narrowed hazel eyes, revealing a strain of her brown hair at neck-length reposed on her mouth, showing her white teeth as she smiled to Flavius's direction also in her slinky training suit.
He turned his eyes to Matthan coming behind her with a smile, Flavius turned his face down blushing thinking he probably read his mind.
"Huh, Flavius, what happened?" Herminia asked curiously,
"Yes, Flavius, what happened?" Matthan repeated Herminia's question.
"I'm leaving for the training." Flavius said about running from the question thrown at him.
"Flavius wait," Herminia said,
He froze. "Uncle Matthan, said we won't be running today as well as no training today. We are summoned to the Colosseum."
He blinked, wondering why the Colosseum, tomorrow was the day he and his Cohort exhibit the EXTERMINATOR to every Humanes attending the show at the Colosseum.
"For today is the day not tomorrow." Great-grandmother said without the praetorian guards matching behind her this time. "Everyone as being told about it but you."
"Huh?" He looked at everyone's face.
"You guys, go without Flavius, I need to talk to my Great-grandson before the main event."
Matthan and Herminia bowed then left.
"Let's have a stroll, shall we?"
"Yes, Ma'am."
They both walked while the praetorian guards was seen out of no where matching few feet away from them.
"Great-grandmother, why are we rushing it? Is it because of m—"
"No, Flavius. It all because of your Cohort."
"Herminia… ? I don't get it, Great-grandmother."
"Is a girl thing, Flavius, I also had it when I was very much younger." She said, "Because tomorrow will be her day. In that condition I don't advice a lady like her to be at the center of the exhibition."
"… … "
Flavius didn't say a word but looked to the grassy ground as the wind blew his darkened blue hair around.
"I know you have a lot of questions to ask your best friend." She sighed. "Flavius and Herminia can't be best friends forever, either side will give in before the other." She said to the sky.
"After coming all this way for this, I'm kinda afraid."
"The greater force is more interested in your character than your comfort."
"Great-grandmother..?"
"What my Great-grandson?"
"Is something happening to you..?" Flavius asked feeling concerned,
She laughed, "What do you mean by your question, Flavius?"
"… because, Father said, if Great-grandmother ever talks in a strange way I can't understand while fixated to the sky… something must be wrong somewhere."
"Gosh… Timilehin… nothing is wrong my dear, if there's anything you will be the first to know. I promise."
"Alright… Great grandmother."
Moments later. One could hear cries of excitement coming from the spectators within the Colosseum. Goldenly structured, ten stories tall. among these crowds seated on the marbled chairs, younger June was seen calmly seated.
Naois with his family were seen seated inside the special box placed at the south ends of the arena in their fancy attire.
Great-grandmother was seated inside the special box placed at the north ends as two Praetorian guard stood brazenly behind her without their helmet on, revealed to be younger Jared and Abbey. Seated near the old woman was slightly grumping Grandson, Timilehin and his smiling wife and Flavius cheering siblings with few high ranked Families of the Caneloveft.
Then Great-grandmother stood silencing every Humanes in the Colosseum. She spoke as her voice echoed.
"We are here today to witness the new wielders of the EXTERMINATOR… "
While she spoke, beneath the arena, Herminia was at the front of a large armored door getting ready to be called out, casting her hazel eyes at the large door slightly hopping, Flavius was behind her while watching Herminia then he swallowed, looked at his scared palm.
I'm having goosebumps all over.
"Don't be afraid," Matthan smirked as he walked to them with four praetorian guard carrying the Red-blooded armour at the rear.
Flavius and Herminia looked back. Their eyes focused on the Red-blooded armour it was their second time seeing it, the first was during the ritual.
How would the armor fits Flavius or Herminia? That would be the question on every first timer Humanes there spectating at the Colosseum, fortunately the armor as another ability to adjust itself suiting the wielder whichever the height or weight maybe.
"We welcome, the new Cohort of the EXTERMINATOR… Herminia!"
The large armored door opened wide, as Herminia took a quick breath then walked out while waving with the brightest smiles Flavius hardly noticed at the thrilled spectators as all kinds of beautiful flowers were thrown to her direction.
Every female among the spectators cried out with excitement if one should look closely most of them were from the Aurora clan for they were more bigger than any other Humanes there.
"We love you, Herminia!"
"Keep it up!"
"Behold this is the strength of a woman!"
"Herminia! Herminia! HERMINIA!"
Herminia stood at the center, maintaining her composure while staring at Flavius, he'd was having a flop sweat while he clapped for his best friend.
"… We welcome the first son of the first Great-grandchild, the child of prophecy, the one who aim to become the strongest, the New Heir to the Red-blood armour, the fearless, the hearty, the triumphant, the bringer of the new age, one who receive a Female Cohort having no denouncement. What a son, what a child… "
Herminia giggled as the announcer expressed.
Flavius looked down with a bowed head, feeling embarrassed some of which was exaggerated.
"… we welcome FLAVIUS of CANELOVEFT!"
Flavius walked in as the spectators went wild. Screaming from the top of their lungs.
"FLAVIUS! FLAVIUS! FLAVIUS!"
Flavius was too shy to glance up as he traversed to Herminia, she jokingly hit him by his side,
"Wave to them. Remember they came here to see you wear the armor, Flavius the triumphant~" She joked.
It made Flavius smile setting him at ease then he yelled throwing his hands helplessly to the spectators. From the north he saw his Great-grandmother, his father and his smiling mother and his cheering little siblings. He waved at them also then finally stood beside Herminia as his chest rose and fell with rapid breaths.
Before long hard drums suddenly played in the background,
"And, Finally… "
Every Humanes in the Colosseum immediately went on their feet without a voice heard as the praetorian guard carried the massive and breath-taking Red-blooded armor into the arena with Matthan leading the way.
"This completes everything… The face of the Caneloveft family… Here comes… the EXTERMINATOR!"
