Chereads / Ascension Of Kaelestis / Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Awakening

Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Awakening

"Both of you will get 30 seconds to talk and if you don't start talking within the given time, You'll burn." He said, and the sword started getting covered by black flames, although in small amounts but it was still violent, hesitant to stay in control.

'Hmm....Kaelestis had better control over it.' He thought and looked towards the weapon and started counting in vain, the weapon did not respond, he was running out of patience.

"Stubborn scraps." He said and set the dagger on fire, the dagger started vibrating violently, decomposing layer by layer, the fire didn't stop until the dagger was completely destroyed. Ryan saw this with an amusing look on his face.

'A cool fire indeed.' Ryan thought.

"Now it's your turn." He said looking at the whip.

"you'll pay for this, he will never forgive you." A furious female voice, which belonged to the whip chimed in.

"Oh! so your master is a man, thanks for the information and judging by how you are acting, you won't say anything about him." He said and set the whip on fire.

The weapon didn't react much and slowly started decaying until nothing was left of it.

"So now that the traitors are gone, I shall leave, but remember I'll come back for you guys." Ryan said before leaving his thought sea.

Rays of sunlight coming from the gaps between window curtains, Coincidentally a ray of light fell on Ryan's eyes, he squinted his eyes and slowly opened them, his sapphire blue eyes shining like precious gems, he didn't realise when he fell asleep because of the piled up fatigue.

He groggily got up from his bed and started scratching his stomach, but he felt something weird but he didn't bother with it and left his room at a slow pace.

He walked down the stairs and went straight to the bathroom, after coming out of the bath, he looked at the bathroom mirror, but this time he was shocked, he saw a man too handsome to be real in the mirror.

The man's face was peerless like a rare diamond, with sharp features, his hair silky smooth, and muscles which looked like they were personally sculpted by Goddess of Beauty, his skin milky white. Ryan's height was also increased by approximately 10 centimetres, which in total would be 195 centimetres.

"Looks like my body has changed a lot." But then he remembered his body has changed because of Kaelestis's power all the excitement of getting more handsome disappeared.

"So this is how he would have looked if he had a human form." He smiled bitterly, he didn't linger around because he had a lot of explaining to do, so he went back to his room to get ready for university because it was the most hated day of the week, that's right, it was monday.

After fighting the urge to sleep again he came out of his room and went to the kitchen, Rebecca was talking about something with Emma, but then Emma saw a man walking towards them with a smile on his face which caused her to gasp for air, Rebecca saw this and asked in a shocked voice "Brother is that you?"

"Indeed I am" He said while sitting beside Rebecca, he smirked and said "Are you guys okay?"

"Brother, did you join some shady cult?" Rebecca asked, looking at him with a type of seriousness capable of making a grown man nervous.

"I just went through puberty again." Rebecca didn't believe in him, but still didn't ask him about it.

"Mom! Where is dad?Did he leave early?"Ryan asked Emma.

"Y-Yes he left early." she said while stammering.

'Okay this is too much for her, but Rebecca seems fine, well good for her.' He thought

Emma looked fine now, but some weird thoughts were still lingering in her mind, which caused her to stare at Ryan for a while, this was getting too awkward so an Angel helped them "Mom! my friends and I are going for a movie after school."

"Okay but don't stay out for long." Emma said, getting up from her seat and walking towards the basin to wash her hands.

"Are there any boys in your group?" Ryan asked without looking at her because he knew his reaction looked quite ugly now.

"No, but why do you ask?" Rebecca asked with narrowed eyes.

"Just checking if I need to get my hands dirty, but you don't have to worry about it." He said while picking his bag up from the chair beside him.

"Mom! I'll be late too, I have some things to do tonight." He said before leaving the house.

After Ryan left the house Rebecca said in an amused tone "Brother got more handsome, I wonder if he'll get a girlfriend now."

"Getting a girlfriend for him is harder than finding a needle in a mountain of sand." Emma sighed.

"Such a waste, ok then I'll leave now, bye mom." Rebecca said Before leaving.

"Bye." Emma replied with a smile.

She then picked up the dirty plates and started washing them with a sad expression on her face "So, the change has begun, but it's too soon."

I started walking towards Elijah's house because his place and the university were in same direction, while walking I noticed some people staring at me, I found it a little weird, but looks of admiration were not new to me, although they were not this intense before, after a while I reached his home and was about to ring the doorbell, but before I could, he came out of the house and looked at me with a weird face and said "Tsk lucky bastard, Come in."

I went inside his house and said "Your mom left early?"

"Yes she had to go somewhere else before, but why don't you explain about your newfound looks." Elijah said with narrowed eyes.

Oh... actually we have much to talk about, why don't we go to your room first, I said before we went to his room.

"So, tell me Ryan about everything I should know, I bet you have quite an info dump." he looked bored.

I took a deep breath and black flames started appearing on my palm, which caused Elijah to take a few steps back.

"You have fire power too, did you get it yesterday?" Elijah asked in an excited tone.

"Not exactly because I am a dragon." I said in a serious tone but Elijah didn't take me seriously and laughed "Yes and I am a tooth fairy, nice to meet you Mr Dragon."

"Elijah I am serious." I said, My eyes were glowing silver which scared him a little, but it was important for us to have a serious conversation.

"A few days ago, I started having weird dreams. In those dreams I saw various things, death, destruction, power, but yesterday I awakened, my body changed drastically, but I still feel that many things are still unknown to me, there is a lingering feeling that I am incomplete." I said.

"So you are saying that you were never human?" Elijah asked me.

"Maybe, I am not sure about it." I said while my mind wandered all around.

"But you are still Ryan right?" Elijah said with a smile, which eased my mind.

"Ofcourse I am." I said

"Then what's the problem....you just got more handsome." He said with a thumbs up.

"Will you ask Selene for a date now?" He asked with a grin.

"No, I won't, and we should leave now, we are late." I said while looking at the watch, which I picked up from the warehouse.

"Ehh.....I thought you liked her, nevermind I don't want to be trashed by that bitch of a teacher again."

Both of them left in a jiffy.
