The Branlock family of five headed out of their home towards Davies's family size van. Today was the day of the Awakening Ceremony and for them,their registration for Alpa. They got in and they were off to the city hall which was 23 kilometers from their place. They lived in Gansed,one if the 10 cities in the giant continent of Demurral where the Brimestones reigned supreme. The Brimestones were direct descendants if Demurral and as this continent was named after him,it was right of them to take control of the place. Even though there were other clans there,the Brimestones were the boss clan and everyone acknowledged that.
On their way to the city hall,Uncle Flamod told them all about the awakening of normal gudas and how Pro-gudas are treated with respect at registration hall. They also learnt about the fewer Pro-gudas at the registration hall as well as the time when they only had one Pro-guda who appeared to be their father,Davies. They looked at their in awe and confusion as they couldn't understand the fact someone as powerful and respected as him wasn't part of any clan or the big families. "I know what you two are thinking but I have my reasons. When the time is right you'll know"Davies said to them. Gamora was currently driving while Davies had a bandage tied around his head. He had a duel with Gamora two days ago and it ended in him having a "headache". 'Just three years and I'll show them.' Davies thought,clenching his fist in determination.

The Branlocks got down from the car and headed towards a six story building shaped like a cylinder. From a drone's perspective, there was a circular space in the middle of the building where an amphitheater could be seen. The building was painted a black gold color with silver railings and frames. The entrance was shaped like hut with men in blue armor with red fiery designs on their capes guarding it. The family passed through a few protocols before they were allowed into the building which was the city hall. The kids were shocked at what they were seeing. The place which appeared to docile and serene on the outside was bustling on the inside. In front of them was a large screen displaying directions to other places on the floor and beyond. A glass barrier separated the floor and possibly the other floors from the huge amphitheater below. Wind gudas and Summoning gudas with flying beasts flew in and out of the circular room. Through the barrier, they could make out people,children and adults alike. The Awakening Ceremony was starting but they weren't there for that. On the screen a yellow arrow pointed to the left with a note saying "Registration Hall. 2nd Floor. Elevator On The Left."
The Branlocks followed the sign to an elevator between two black pillars with dragon designs. The entered and punched the button for second floor.

-The Awakening Ceremony-
"Let the Awakening begin!"a burly man said. He spoke without a microphone but his voice was projected to everyone in the amphitheater. The stands were filled to the brim with people and races ranging from humans to elves to dwarves to fairies and so on. The man was known as the Twin-in-one. The reason for this name was because he awakened two god arts which are mostly awakened by twins. The first set are the Sound and Music arts and the Chaos and Curse arts. People can awaken them but his situation was different. He first awakened the Sound art then he awakened the Music art after. He was Pius Porter,the host for the Awakening Ceremony in Demurral. He has been doing this for no one knows. No one knew his age and how he had been doing this and he didn't look like he was old. He looked like a 40 year old man. He had short black hair and an angular face with unusual red eyes. The pupils of his eyes were shaped like artims. It was said he was one of the few gudas Special Class Innates. His innate was passive and he didn't need to summon it. It was always with him and acted according to his emotions and consciousness. His innate was like a soldier at attention waiting for any command. It was also known that the 13 clan leaders bowed to him anytime they met him so in fact he was well respected by everyone. There were also rumors circulating that he was there at the time of the first Ultra guda,a guda who awakened two god arts on his first awakening just like Vorden. So Pius was someone unfathomable.
Behind him was an altar like projection with a crystal clear orb floating atop it. That was the awakening orb which was going to be used by everyone who was going to participate in the awakening. He called the first person to the circular stage he was standing on. "Alonso Dedeck!" He beckoned the short boy to place his hands on the orb which floated down to his height. The boy did as he was told. After some time, the wings on his back started flapping uncontrollably and the orb shined with a dark green light. His colorless fairy wings was replaced with a shiny pair with dark green designs on it. "Alonso Dedeck, Poison art!" Pius announced to the audience.

The Branlocks were currently following the directions to the Registration Hall. They ended up in front of a dark brown door. They entered and were greeted by a large hall. The hall was designed like a parliament. It was currently empty with the exception of a few people to the right. An official approached them."Please if you are here for a Pro-guda registration,head to the right but I will advise only two people thus the Pro-guda and a parent."the official said. She was a young dwarf woman with golden brown horns. "Oh that means we're all going with the exception of Uncle Flamod. All my sons are Pro-gudas." Davies told her with a triumphant look. "What? You mean the 13 year old boy is also a Pro-guda? Is he what I'm thinking?" "Yeah,a prodigy who has unlimited potential."Davies answered with his head up. "Please head to the woman in the red suit" the official said,bowing. The Branlocks thanked her and headed to the desk they were directed to. 'He only talked about the prodigy but the older one gave off a dangerous and imposing vibe. I don't think he is who I think he is.' The official thought. 'He is what you think he is' a voice said in her mind. She turned to stare at Uncle Flamod who was currently seated on chair near the door. The official had her mouth opened wide as she couldn't swallow what she had just heard. "I hope he doesn't vanish like the first one."she said in a grim tone. "He won't. He's stronger than you think."Uncle Flamod said with a bright grin. The official felt her face flush at the scene. 'He's a beast for peach sake.'
"Woah dad! Pro-gudas are really treated differently."
