Looking back at It promise to Itself, It feels sense of regrets. It feels so peaceful in eternal nothingness no consciousness, nothing at all.
But because of It promise to Itself, It had been dragged out from the eternal nothingness by It own power.
It then can only sigh helplessly.
"sigh...Well, a promise is a promise"
It than look at the coin on the ground.
" erm?, the coin stand in side?"
It feels a bit strange and puzzled, maybe because It has been into nothingness for long time that It feels that this thing kind of exciting.
Without wasting time, It then form hand with It consciousness then It pierced into the young boy body straight into his soul to read his soul memory.
It then started to talk to itself.
"Interesting... really Interesting..."
" 1000 lifetime of suffering just for sake of a being that been scorn and ignore by all being and thing"
"a single mortal that change countless life"
"neither good nor evil"
"Maybe... maybe this can be a good show?"
"No!...No!... this all is a trap planted by my past self that still hesitate!"
It then pull back It hand from his body and ponder for few seconds before decided what to do to this child who spin the coin in right time.
"Since it neither tail nor head, I will give you a unlimited potential but I will take all your spiritual sense for 100 years"
It then wave It hand and two light ball flash into his body, one directly flew into Abe soul while other landed on just his body.
Before eye's can even blink, the child body was tied with silver chain that come out of nowhere. The chain pierced the boy eyes, heart, skin, and all his other orifice.
Strangely the young boy did not bleed as if the chain was mere illusion.
" hmm" Nodded It head as It pleased with It work.
" Well, it time to leave. Nothing can bring me back anymore" saying It last word, Its consciousness started to become more transparent bit by bit until nothing left.
The coin that stand on the ground started to become dim and cracked.
As if someone press play button on paused video every thing started to moving again. Nothing was different than before, well except there is no longer big crow on the sky nor was image of ship and crew that once behind the young boy.
The small crow disappear as if he did not even exist from the start. Nor was people of the earth was shocked as before this giant crow as massive as half of earth appear out of blue because from the moment the giant crow appears and disappears was less than 0.00000000000000001 second.
On ground Abe laying unconscious and his breathing become slow. If people did not pay close attention, they will think that he no longer breathing.
"Abe, time for breakfast!" an old man voice can be heard shouting from inside the shabby shrine.
"Abe, stop playing and come inside to eat!" hearing no respond from his shout the old priest shouted a second time as he think that Abe was still playing outside.
"Sigh... kid nowadays only know know how to play" sighing and walk to outside the shrine, Maeda Kenichi scolded the new generation forgetting that he once when still kid also only know how to play inside his mind.
Creak, the old shrine door creaked as Maeda Kenichi open it.
"Abe stop pla... Abe what happen to you!?" shocked looking at Maeda Abe lying on the ground barely breathing, the old man panicked and force his old body running to young boy who unconscious on the ground.
Panicked, the old priest carry Abe into the shrine and lay him on the futon, before rushing to get his cellphone and called 119.
As the old man running to get the cellphone, he didn't see a giant tree spirit was beside him. The tree spirit just ignored the old man and reach out it branches touching Abe head.
Then glowing greenish light started to flow from it branches to Abe head, as the green light flowing into Abe, his breathing become stable.
" Strange, what did this child do to consume large amount of energy until render him unconscious? and where is the lil crow?" The large tree spirit was confused as what can a child do to become like this, did he play to hard? it imposable for anything to happen as he did not feels any strange energy fluctuation.
Creak, creak, creak can be heard as Kenichi running towards Abe with his cellphone.
"Hello 119?...."
................................................
Inside a children ward in hospital nearby city, the old man was facing a female doctor who was telling him about Abe conditions.
"Maeda-sama, you don't need to worry much, it nothing much. Abe just tired and collapse after expending too much of his energy playing. after few hours of rest here you can take him home"
"thank you, Miyuki-Chan "Bowed his head a little as sign of gratitude, Maeda Kenichi thank the female doctor who just done checking on Abe condition.
"No need to thank me, it my job, it my job. Beside you help my family a lot when we are in trouble when I was kid." dogging to the side from Kenichi bow, Miyuki refused to accept Kenichi gratitude.
How can she accept it when she saw a giant tree spirit behind Maeda Kenichi. Why can she see yokai and spirit?
Well, when she was young she was spirited away by snake yokai and Her 3rd eyes was open, her family was helpless, they got police and firefighter to help them but it was useless, they still can't find her.
But after 3 days inside a forest as snake yokai captive, she was free!
It all because of her family get help from remote Kodama shrine near the forest. 25 years already passed and she was 30 this years and she still remember vividly.
The 35 years old Maeda Kenichi walked straight to her inside deep forest and carry her on his arm as if the snake yokai did not exist at all.
She was scared and almost shouted her throat out, as she saw the snake yokai was furious and prepared to kill her and Maeda Kenichi.
But her intentions to shouted was cut short as she saw a giant tree spirit grab the snake yokai and ripped it to shred with ease.
It then follow behind Maeda Kenichi like the thing it just do was nothing more than squash a ant to death.
It then hit her that, not Kenichi-sama did not see that snake yokai but it just insignificant being. Would human care if ant walk on tree inside a forest? no, unless the human was toying or doing research with the ant.
She still remember, how the snake yokai was trying to plead for mercy but before it can say anything more it die on hand of giant tree spirit. It the same tree spirit infront her right now.
Seeing the young girl try to smile at him, the tree spirit smile back at her. But when the giant tree spirit smile, it look like a demon from deep of hell smile at her.
It send chill to her spine and her body shake in fear.
"Mae.. Maeda-sama I need to go to check other patients, we.. we will meet again..." before she can even finish her words Miyuki already run away as she was too scare to stay any longer.
"eh? why did she run?" speechless the old priest than turn around and look at sleeping Abe.
"Haizz kid this day, they sure can play until they collapse." the old man sigh and look at Abe lovingly.
