Clementine's petite body silently floated above the pond enveloped by dazzling golden rays of light that blinded the watching crowd. The golden rays of light disappeared after a few moments leaving behind an incredulous scene of Clementine's small hands holding the destiny orb within which was a shimmering golden star.
Raising her round emerald eyes to the direction of the crowd light giggles escaped her mouth as she felt that the facial expressions of everyone were silly. The majority of them stood frozen in place wide eyed, some slack jawed as they fixed their gaze on her. Others even went as far as to continuously rub their eyes in disbelief.
The crowd was thunder struck because they were witnessing in the flesh the awakening of a Supreme Prodigy. Supreme Prodigies were one in a 100 billion individuals and such a person was awakened here in their Kingston family.
As if they had not suffered enough shock, the Golden Star liquefied into green ink like liquid that imprinted itself between Clementine's eyebrows forming a miniature circle of a green Celtic tattoo of a tree.
When the imprint was finished a majestic phantom image of a gigantic tree that they couldn't see its beginning nor end. The gigantic tree released a holy aura that when exposed to, the Kingston's felt all their exhaustion disappear, their bodies becoming refreshed, their cells screaming in excitement for even more.
The phantom retreated inside Clementine's body as at the same time a flash of light appeared beside her. Clementine shifting her gaze to were the flash appeared found Adam's mother there. Erika's beautiful smile attracted Clementine as she too returned one in kind but what she didn't know was that Erika was silently examining her body.
The crowd was stupefied by Erika's actions, before they questioned what she was doing an extremely powerful aura filled with murderous intent enveloped them and the whole awakening ground.
They could swear that they would die this instant as they trembled in fear, others even fell to their knees. The Elders, Grand Elders and even the Patriarch released their own to fight it but everything was futile.
Apollo seeing that it was his wife who released the oppressive aura though shocked didn't do anything because he could see that it targeted all the powerful people here and avoided the children.
Erika's powerful voice sounded "I will only say this once and if anyone dares to refute it death shall upon them. Today you didn't see anything and shall be the last time you talk about Clementine's awakening results same to your children."
"On top of that you are to make an Oath to the heavens and if you have any problems you can just die! This is taboo to talk about I hope you know how to act accordingly." ordered Erika.
It didn't take long as a single person in the ground made an oath which upon the others seeing none dilly dallied as they followed in common fashion regardless of their status. Seeing that they were done Erika dispersed her aura returning to her normal gentle and kind demeanor.
Erika then walked to the front of the Patriarch as she bowed and spoke "I acted impulsively before please punish me."
The Patriarch was displeased at first but seeing how tactful this daughter in law of his was he couldn't help but smile gently and 'scolded "How dare you act brazenly in front of us just wait for the ceremony to end and your punishment will be discussed by the Council of Elders."
But what they didn't know was Erika privately sent a message to both the Patriarch about what Clementine's awakening meant, what the vision represented and another sent to Apollo of how to proceed.
Hearing this Erika's mouth twitched slightly but all the elders scolded the Patriarch in their hearts. This Old fox wants to implicate us, who dares to mete punishment to such a devil. Although everything had ended well, the mood now was solemn unbefitting of such a ceremony.
Apollo coughed awkwardly as he announced" Congratulations to Clementine though she has awakened a Golden Star aptitude we will announce it as a Purple Star to the outside world. Clementine you will keep it a secret right?" hearing this she flashed a mischievous smile and nodded in agreement.
"Adam! Ace! It seems that you two will start calling me Big Sister from now on, come on say it! Don't keep me waiting you two" cheered Clementine with an enigmatic smile as she made way towards them.
The crowds shared a laugh hearing this, the somber mood was replaced with the previous joyful one.
"Humph! Tell that to Ace and wait for me to awaken too who knows maybe you will be calling me Big Brother!" refuted Adam as he made way to the pond.
The crowd was stunned when they heard their conversation because previously when Clementine's turn to awaken came she made a bet with both Adam and Ace that she would awaken a Golden Star aptitude and they would have to call her big sister with Adam refuting that he would be the one to awaken it and Ace saying that they wouldn't be more talented than him.
Right now what they thought had been a joke between kids turned out to be true and know that it was Adams turn they dared not to randomly draw conclusions but rather go with the flow and see how things unfold.
