After the unbelievable turn of events at Destiny's house, Destiny and Luck returned to his house and showered, Caroline gave Destiny some new clothes and Luck switched to some other clothes of his
Destiny was sleeping at the time so Caroline and Luck had some time for themselves
"It may not be her first time drinking you know"
"What do you mean by that? Are you telling me she is an alcoholic?"
Caroline asked, she looked quite worried
"I hope not, but I have seen her drink heavily like that before, most specifically when Hope died"
Luck said while looking down, Caroline then remained silent for a little, Luck did the same too, suddenly Destiny came out of Luck's room, she looked gloomy and uneasy
"Are you alright Destiny?"
Caroline asked as she approached Destiny
"I'm better, thank you for making me sleep, I feel calmer now"
She said as she sat on the couch Luck was sitting
"It's my fault, I shouldn't have come, it would have been much better if I just walked in the rain"
When Luck said that Destiny closed his mouth with her hand
"Don't say that, if you were not there things would have been much worse..."
Destiny said as she looked at the ground
"What do you mean by that? Is something wrong with your household Destiny?
Luck asked, he looked very worried
"No, it is just that mom is starting to change. When father left for work she is starting to become paranoid, she thinks he will leave us too so she always drinks or causes trouble in the house, and it's just not her, but I don't know what to do..."
Destiny said as she started to cry, Luck hugged her until she calmed down
"You can stay here for a little while and when you get comfortable you can go and comfort her, I will come with you too so you won't be scared, alright?"
Luck asked her while smiling, this smile made Destiny calm down a little
"Caroline watch over her while I go out!"
When Destiny heard that she looked worried
"What are you going to do?"
She asked Luck
"Nothing really, I will just go and have a chat with her"
Luck said as he got ready to head out, Destiny then suddenly grabbed him
"You won't go to my house, not again, you will only make things worse if you do!"
Destiny said as she looked away from Luck
'I guess she is right, but we can't just continue like this...'
Luck though as he let go of his jacket
...
Meanwhile back into the UMP's base
"Are you not done yet, kid?"
Risha asked Floga as sweat fell down her whole body, the heat that Floga created and the constant fights she had tired her
"Come on, I'm fired up right now, you can't do that to me!"
Floga said with a big smile as the fire was coming out of his shoulders, and steam out of all over his body
"I'm sorry to break it for you but you have to stop, Risha we need you for a mission..."
Kamira said as she suddenly entered the training room
"I will be on my way, I simply request some time to bathe and change my clothes!"
Risha requested from Kamira, and she was granted her request so she quickly left the training room
"Man come on now... I was totally going to awaken the god's fire and beat her"
Floga jokingly said as he packed his stuff, he also put on another t-shirt he had with him
"You are very impressive, defender, if you continue like that then I will have to pay you to stay here!"
Kamira told him as Floga passed beside her
"I have a name you know..."
Floga angrily told Kamira
"Oh, I know your name. Floga, like the Greek word 'Fire' and your last name 'Pyr' is also what the ancient Greeks used to call fire, you were destined to have this power Floga so rest assured, you will be the first one that will get ahold of the destruction shard, of course, you have to become ready to wield it first..."
Floga had never heard of this shard thing so he was confused
"What the hell is a shard?"
"A shard you ask? Have you ever heard the story of the two mana spirits?"
Floga nodded
"Have you heard about the part where the spirit splits the elements into 6? You see when the spirit did that she actually created 6 powerful weapons of destruction, the Six Sinister Shards, or the SSS, the SSS are basically rock-like objects made purely out of 1 one of the elements, and when someone gets ahold of one of them they gain a boosted use of their mana, power, and abilities in an instant, crazy right? We have the destruction shard so it's possible for you to attain it!"
Kamira told Floga, he was absolutely blown away by the knowledge he gained
"And what stops you from using it on yourself?"
Floga asked
"You see the shards only work when someone that has an affinity for the element the shard is created of, meaning I can't use the shard but you can, since you have an affinity for destruction, the same goes for you, you can't use the space shard but I can"
Kamira further explained to Floga, he then took some time to think about what she said
"Then that means that Luck or Caroline can use them right?"
Kamira didn't like this question
"Caroline isn't trusted and Luck can't use elements properly so they are both counted out"
Floga laughed at this answer
"Caroline saved us multiple times and even spare you, right? And even though I hate to admit it Luck was the only way I didn't get killed back when Daniel attacked, oh, and now that I mention that where were you then? Did you save us back there? Because I'm pretty sure Caroline was the one that rocked Daniel's ass"
Floga said as he faced Kamira with a smile, Kamira didn't have an answer to that
"Anyway, thanks for the compliment and see you tomorrow!"
Floga said as he left the base, he then created a mana zone and with his fire, he flew over the beautiful city of Palermo and then flew all over the calm yet scary see, it was Floga's first time flying this fast and high in the air, at that moment Floga felt nothing but peace in his mind and his body, he didn't think about his problems, it was only him and the world
Well, this moment of peace didn't last for very long because it was time he returned home, he took off his shoes and hung his jacket, and he then started to walk towards his room but on his way, he had to pass through the living room and then was when his father saw him
"Hey brat come here!"
He said, Floga sighed and walked up to the living room
"What's up with the shitty grades? Do you slack off again? I told you that you can go with those stupid fuckers friend of yours but don't get stupid like them but NO, you won't listen to me, you go and do whatever you want, slack off in class, hung around losers that will waste their life, and coming late home like you are some type of office worker..."
His dad said as he slowly pushed him closer and closer to the wall, suddenly then he slapped Floga
"DO YOU THINK YOU ARE THE BOSS HERE? I PAY THE BILLS SO YOU DO WHATEVER I SAY SO!"
He yelled, Floga was pushed back from the slap and got ahold of a table so he didn't fall
'Should I burn him? Ever since mother left for college teaching he is being like that, violent for no reason, and recently I heard that he is not going to work (probably drinks), it shouldn't be a problem to kill a bastard like him'
Floga thought as his hands got hotter and hotter
A phone then rang
"It's your mother, this bitch won't stop calling to see if you are alright so make sure you pick it up"
Floga then picked up the phone and went to his room
"How are you back in Biol? You must hate me for going to Germany right? You and your father get to stay on the island while I get to be in this big city, right? But don't worry, when you finish school I have a job ready for you plus a house, your new life in Germany will be great so just study German in school, okay?"
She asked him
"Yeah, I know that, you told me that at least five times this month, and as for my school I'm doing okay, I hope you are okay up there too!"
Floga replied as he lay on his bed
"Oh, I'm doing okay! Are your friend doing okay? Lucky and Destiny must have grown very much since I have seen them right?"
His mom asked, Floga then remember the last time his mother was on the island, everything was okay between the three of them then, well more like now but back there they didn't exactly need a reason to stay together unlike now
"They are doing fine, anyway, I have homework to do so I will hang out, bye love you!"
Floga said as he hung up the phone, the reason he did that so hastily was because he heard his father coming to his room
"Are you done already with this bitch? I have to call the mayor for a job"
Floga's father asked, Floga handed him the phone and once he exited his room he locked it and placed on headphones, and started doing his homework
…
The remaining day then slowly passed, Destiny stayed in Luck's house because she couldn't afford to go back into her house, not before her mother apologized but even if she did that she still didn't know if she could forgive her, Luck and Caroline felt uneasy about the situation too but all they could do is support Destiny in her dissensions
The next day quickly arrived and everyone met in the classroom
"Destiny you really chickened out back there when Risha trained you!"
Floga told her
"W-Well I had to go back, you know since yesterday was..."
Before she could finish her sentence Luck completed it for her
"Hope's death anniversary and you never showed up"
Luck looked furious
"I know that but I was busy, I will probably go later this day"
Luck then grabbed Floga by his clothes and pinned him to the wall
"SHE WAS YOUR FRIEND!"
Luck yelled in his face
"Hands off me bastard"
Floga said as his body suddenly heated up, all of them also entered a mana zone
"I said I was busy so what's your problem fool?"
Floga said as fire started forming around his body, what Luck did trigger his rage that was built up from his father yesterday
"What are you doing Floga? Put out your fires!"
Luck said as he enhanced his body with mana
"Why don't you put them out yourself? Oh, I forgot you were a bitch!"
Floga said as his fires became wilder
"This is not happening so both of you calm down!"
Caroline said as she got between the two of them
"Seriously guys there is no use in fighting"
Destiny told them, slowly but surely the two of them calmed down and returned back into their daily routine
Floga texted Luck mid-lesson, Luck saw it and replied with
Things were about to get serious...
