Inside the chief cyclops house.
Lennox was a explaining his birth as a half human and half cyclops. As he tried to continue where he left off he saw Riley confused expression, seeming to be disbelief that he was half human and half cyclops.
"My father in his younger days before his time as chief was love stroke by a beautiful human woman, she was human and he was a one eye giant. They were from two different worlds leaving them with many problems the face. My father was a skilled warrior and magician, he knew the secrets of using mana."
Riley raised her eyebrows wondering what was this thing mana he speaking about. She raised her hand up saying, "What is mana?"
Ryan, Lennox and others widened their mouths in surprised that Riley did not know what mana was. Ryan explained that mana was what she used to heal him before, both Lennox, Hemoth and Gar nodded their heads confirming Ryan words.
"How can you say you do not know what mana is, but you already use it before," Ryan stated looking at Riley. He confirmed what she used at him was mana. Riley casually smiled mention that the power she used to heal him was common ability where she came from.
"That ability I used to heal you, is a level one ability. It's not something special to do even a small child back home can use that healing ability." Lennox, Hemoth and Gar were all in shocked that such a powerful ability was at level one.
Ryan frowned his eyebrows glaring firm at her. He knew she was powerful but it seem like he underestimated her as she rivalled him in skills and power. He realized that he should not take her lightly and keep his eyes open on her.
"You said it was a level one ability? What does a level two ability looks like?" Gar asked with a serious tone.
"What do you mean level one ability?" asked Lennox.
Riley explained back home there were levels of abilities starting from 1 to 10. Level 1 abilities were like healing, strength and speed but the other levels above 1 were on a different level. Level 2 abilities include high regeneration and hyper speed.
"Yeah, when I say that it is not something special its not. Most of people in mine clan have that ability. Other people have other abilities that are good for destroying but mine is healing what is been destroyed." Riley gently opened her hand creating a green ball of light on to of her palm. Lennox closely looked at the ball absolving if it was mana usage, but to his surprised he felt no mana use coming from the ball, even Hemoth and Ryan both sense no mana from Riley green ball.
"Sorry for talking so long about me, you can continue with your story please," Riley nodded her head signalling Lennox to continue his story. Lennox slightly smiled nodding his head towards her direction. Before he could continue his story Ryan paused him, he questioned Riley about her strange power when it is not mana, what was it?
Riley blankly stared towards Ryan side with a slight puzzled expression. "I already told you it was a ability. Do you not know what are abilities!?" She angrily questioned his knowledge about abilities. Ryan stated to her that he knew many abilities in the world but Riley was quite unique.
"Is your ability like my ability to change sizes?" asked Lennox.
Riley nodded her head saying, "Yeah, you can say it similar to that because we are born with it." Ryan expression turned gloomy. He could not believe such a ability Riley was just give from birth when so many people train their lives to achieve the power.
"How many other abilities do you have?" Ryan asked with a serious voice.
"Probably I have seven or eight of them I still do not remember, it has been years since I have used most of them," Riley stated with a cam expression.
"You said the levels ended at level 10 right, what if someone surpassed level 10?" asked Ryan.
Riley casually smiled stating that a level 10 person was already consider a god, but if someone was beyond level 10 they were something beyond a god."
Lennox slightly laughed saying she was hyping herself up. He state that she was strong but they were many other strong figure in the world. To his surprised Riley agreed with him saying she already knew people who were stronger than her. Suddenly, Black face appeared on her mind and also Sonia and Ladros.
"Please let not keep talking about me I want to know why the human hire false claims against the cyclopes? This does not make sense, why would the do such a thing?" Riley asking.
Lennox continued with his story after his father and mother fell with each other. His father spend weeks, months and years living among the humans in his transformation form. His father showed his cyclops form to his mother as he loved the woman. Other than her no other human knew about him no one could see through his transformation, he had endless mana to maintain his transformation for months. Their love grew even strong with her giving birth to Lennox.
His mother father refused the birth of a outsider child. The villagers were absolved of stranger like his father even when they were adventurers. With his mother begging her father to allow her child to share the family name. Her father agreed with her demand but he did not approve of their love. Lennox was to grow up to be the next chief after his grandfather.
"My father love with my mother was kept secret only a few knew of it existence. But one day their secret was discovered, my grandfather find out that the man her daughter was taken by was a cyclops. Enrage by the discovering of the shame that his daughter had committed on his name, he ordered his grandchild death."
Arriving back to the house his mother found her father placing a sharp blade on sleep Lennox on his arm. He question his daughter dignity with sleeping with cyclops creature. He began rationalization that cyclopes were not human like him and her, but monstrous creature that want to kill them all. Mary refused her father words of the cyclopes through Hemoth action alone she could see that the cyclopes were just like them.
Seeing his daughter Mary disapproval he thought that she was bewitched by the giant monsters. Looking at the child in his arm his face simply filled discuss with the child being a cyclops too. He firmly swung his blade at the baby neck. But before the blade could stroke the Lennox Hemoth came dashing inside through the window grabbing the blade stabbing the chief.
With the disbelief that her lover had taken the life of her father swept across her face. Mary shouted for Hemoth to leave the scene quick. She explained to the villagers that a mysterious figure murder the chief. Without many details of the murder of the chief most people thought the cyclopes were responsible of of the murder. The hatred of the humans grew even more larger by the moment.
Under the dark sky on top of the hill close to the forest. Mary was carrying Lennox on her arms quieting him down. A moment later Hemoth appeared in front of her standing firm. He walked up towards her kissing her forehead and the baby. While grabbing the baby with his hands lifting him up on the air thankful that he survived. Hemoth abruptly looked at Mary quietness, he question why she was silent? Mary slightly smiled saying it was nothing for him to bother himself.
But Hemoth could not let it go questioning her again. Mary with a sadden expression stated that due to her father death they will never be together, cause they never got his wishes. The villagers will never accept their marry or love so they had to go their separate directions. Hemoth refused her he wanted to be with her no matter what, he did not care about anyone else. She stated to him that she will raise Lennox as a human to in heir the chief throne, her family have been the chief for hundred of years. Hemoth nodded his head agreeing with her they went their separate ways.
